2011 was a big year of change for me, moving to Melbourne and moving in with SJ, so I felt I should definitely send out Christmas cards this year. I wanted charity cards but didn't want ones that look too 'corporate' which seems to be the way a lot of them are structured. I found some great ones at BioMe but they were $17 for a pack of 10 (but recycled and 10% went to Doctors without borders). I was going to buy them, but then worked out how many SJ and I would need to send...100. So Christmas cards, plus stamps would cost me $225. Seemed slightly extreme.
Thankfully, I stumbled across the cards pictured on the RSPCA Victoria shop. I bought two sets, white ones and coloured animal ones. Much cheaper at $6 a pack of 10...however, as it is so close to Christmas they are now only $3 a pack! That's right, you can get them for 30c each, even cheaper than the stamp you'll need to send them! Plus since they are being sold by the RSPCA, you can be assured that all the profits will be going directly to them.
Have I mentioned how much I love mail??
Cute! Every year I buy Christmas cards, but never get around to sending them. | 2019-04-18T22:44:58 | http://www.missdirections.com/2011/12/christmas-cards.html |

Here's the thing, I love basic. I live for basic! When it comes to my everyday attire, I dress in monochrome, denim, with a flash of colour chucked in for good measure. Naturally I love colour when it comes to tropical holidays or workout gear. (In the gym I look like 'workout barbie!') This is literally an example of my ideal outfit - comfortable, chic and build-able. Come night time I would add a flash of red lippy, give my hair a brush and stick on some heels!
Besides this bag, Primark has totally stolen my heart recently! My tee (which I also grabbed in grey marl!), sunnies and lace ups are all from the store and I wear all three pieces to death! Primark has seriously upped it's styled credentials recently, meaning that at the moment, I migrate there whenever I need a fashion fix without the collateral purse damage! Don't even get me started on their adorable interior range and quirky pineapple bedsheets! If you're not a usual Primark goer I urge you to go in there and have a rummage, there's constant gems to be found which won't have your bank balance in tears!
White tee, ripped jeans and a leather jacket - your summer look is spot on! Also LOVE those shoes!

The UNI-CUBE adapts a single universal shoe mount to a multi-point mount, or as a simple right-angle mount for easy sight of signals and indicators, as well as recommended antenna orientation for wireless microphone receivers.
It is only compatible with devices that have a universal cold shoe mount. Canon HV20, HV30, HV40 are compatible, as well as most DSLR cameras (Canon, Nikon, Panasonic, Olympus, Pentax, etc) except Sony & Minolta brand. UNI-CUBE should work on all professional video cameras with a mic shoe.
This adapter weighs about four ounces / 100 grams.
This adapter is also compatible with hot shoes that use the universal mount shape, such as Sony’s IAS (Intelligent Accessory Shoe). IAS should not be confused with Sony’s AIS (Active Interface Shoe), which is smaller and completely non-standard. Please check your camcorder’s labeling or your camcorder’s manual to be sure which shoe it has before purchasing.
The last two photos show a Canon SLR with the UNI-CUBE, an Azden shotgun microphone with a Rode SM3 shock mount, a LitePanels LP-MICRO and a Sennheiser EW 100 G2 wireless receiver.

Finished the volume. Some things seemed tacky and over-the-top, i.e, the portal scene, the oversized maiden swords, and the pacing felt kinda odd or fast. Other than that, I'd say it was alright.
It's not that I'm looking for something "Family Friendly" I just didn't enjoy the humor.
The last episode felt pretty slow-paced to me.
Second to last was pretty insane, though.
The last episode was fine, but the whole illusion thing felt kinda shoehorned, IMO.
RWBY is probably my favorite series of all time, for many reasons. I hate that some people call it "fake anime" though, since it's much better than a lot of anime. I just don't let the haters bother me.
It really depends on how you define anime. The generally accepted definition for an anime is an animated show from Japan. Under this definition, RWBY isn't really an anime. However, if you define an anime by the style of animation, RWBY could be classified as an anime by (even though it's animated in 3D while most anime are in 2D).
Personally, I don't consider it an anime, but I recognize that it could be considered one.
I've never been a huge fan of RWBY, but I'm up to date on everything just to see where it goes. I started watching just before Volume 3, and have been watching weekly ever since.
As for it being better than most anime... maybe? There's just so, so many anime out there and they're not all gems. But I'd say that most quality anime could easily beat out RWBY.
Volume 5 fell flat for me. It felt... Really boring and plain.
At least Voume 4 had a kind of suspense and emphasis for me personally. It had buildup and emotion. Volume 5 feels like they didn’t concentrate in the things that were needed.
At least the first three didn’t feel like they pandered on too much. They built up to the climax and gave us a satisfying twist. I mean 4 did have loads of pandering.
I’m not saying the first three were better then the last two or they’re prefect. They have plenty of mistakes in what they did. A lot of things they did in 5 felt pointless like killing off what seemed to be a cool character and not using what came from killing her that well. They just wasted it on Adam bringing 5 grunts with him and running away... and fell flat on their heads.
All the RWBY volumes are good. Though 5 is my least favorite.
RWBY is anime as Japan considers it an anime. The only people who don't see it as anime are people not from Japan who have sticks up their butts.
"Anime" is simply Japan's word for anything animated, so anything animated, from the Bionicle G2 animations to Ninjago's TV show to Naruto, is anime to Japan. Outside of Japan, "anime" is typically used to define animation specifically from japan. So, by that definition, RWBY isn't an anime, because it isn't made in japan. However, by the actual meaning of the word, RWBY is anime... but so is anything animated.
Basically, RWBY isn't an anime by the colloquial meaning of the word, but it is by the official meaning of the word. But the same thing applies to every animated show that isn't from Japan, regardless of art style.
If we're being technical, RWBY is usually referred to as an American anime, or more so as an American anime-style series. So it's done in a style derived from anime, but not an actual anime, unlike an animation made in Japan, which is considered a true anime.
The only people who don't see it as anime are people not from Japan who have sticks up their butts.
It could really fall under both.
I see it as more of an anime styled show rather than an actual anime, like someone taking influence from the art form. Others may go for the "if it walks like a duck" idea, in that it looks like anime.
I think it depends on who's looking at it.
I am quite comfortable with my stick thank you very much.
What's sticks got to do with this?
Thanks W12 and Invader. It stands that since we don't call Veggie Tales, Bionicle or Pixar anime, neither was this series.

Facebook has already made some big changes to their ad targeting platform following a complaint from Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Ben Carson earlier this month. The complaint alleges that Facebook’s ad targeting options violate fair housing laws by allowing advertisers to discriminate based on users’ interests and family status. For example, the platform was allowing advertisers to block ads from Facebook users that have listed “child care” or “parenting” among their interests to exclude those with children. The complaint also alleges that advertisers had the option to not show ads to users in designated zip codes.
In response to the complaint, Facebook removed over 5,000 ad targeting options from their advertising platform to “prevent misuse,” according to a company blog post. Facebook is also expanding their advertiser education program with a new certification that all advertisers will need to complete to continue advertising on the platform.
The case is a good reminder that even in the 50th anniversary year of the Fair Housing Act, just because an advertising option is available to you doesn’t mean it’s legal. REALTORS® everywhere should know the law and fight for the right of all Americans to have access to homeownership and equal housing. | 2019-04-23T04:01:09 | https://www.nwrealtor.com/2018/08/24/facebook-removes-over-5000-ad-options-after-hud-complaint/ |
Dubai condo hotels have been getting a lot of publicity lately. They offer a hassle-free means for international investors to purchase real estate and participate in the growth of this dynamic city.
Condo hotels (also sometimes called condotels and hotel residences in the U.S. and referred to as residence apartments in Dubai) are luxurious condominiums located in five-star hotels. While owners can use their condos when they'd like, most investors in Dubai don't intend to use them at all. Instead, they plan to place their unit in the hotel's rental program full time and receive a percentage of the revenue it generates.
1. How do condo hotels differ from other types of vacation homes?
Condo hotels are not your typical second homes. They are fabulously-furnished condominium suites in some of the most famous hotels and resorts around the country.
The properties are usually large, high-rise, luxury hotels and come with premium services like valet, concierge and daily housekeeping. All issues regarding maintenance and operation are handled by an onsite professional management company. Prices can range from $150,000 (U.S.) to over $1 million for prime properties.
2. Is a condo hotel right for you?
The ideal Dubai condo hotel buyer is someone who wants to participate in the rapid growth of Dubai but does not have the time, inclination or ability to manage property on his own. He would like a professional management company to handle the maintenance of the condo he owns, renting it out to guests, as well as all other hotel operational issues.
3. Is the condo hotel well-located in Dubai?
Consider whether the property is located in a popular destination, one that is likely to do a healthy tourist or business trade regardless of economic factors.
A condo hotel that is near a convention center, a theme park or cruise port will benefit from proximity to these high-traffic venues and will have higher occupancy rates. And higher occupancy will translate into more annual rent revenue to unit owners.
In Dubai, the hottest spots for condo hotels are near the Dubailand theme parks which will soon attract millions of guests each year much like Disney World, and Dubai's financial district, sure to attract millions of business travelers each year.
4. Will the Dubai condo hotel have any on-site amenities that will draw guests such as a health club, spa, fine dining restaurant and retail stores?
You'll want to choose a condo hotel that has a host of amenities to appeal to Dubai visitors and justify the room rates it plans to charge.
5. Will the individual unit that you're considering in a Dubai condo hotel meet guest needs?
Does it have enough bedrooms, enough square footage, to satisfy hotel guests? Does it have kitchen facilities? (Most do, but not all.) Does it offer an appealing view? Is it provided furnished?
6. Is the Dubai condo hotel developer offering any type of buyer incentive?
Many Dubai condo hotels are sold with a rental guarantee to entice new buyers. For example, one of the largest Dubai developers offers a guarantee of an annual 8% return or 60% of the rent revenue, whichever is greater for the first three years of operation. After the third year, the owner simply receives the 60% revenue split without the guarantee, but presumably by then, the hotel will have become established and will be able to achieve its occupancy goals.
7. What is the revenue split and anticipated annual expenses of the Dubai condo hotel?
Whereas U.S. developers are hesitant to discuss revenue splits because of SEC regulations, Dubai developers are free to discuss these details. Most offer a 50% to 60% split of the unit revenues to the unit owner. Most can also give you an estimate of expenses you can expect each year.
8. When is the right time to buy this condo hotel?
The best time to purchase a condo hotel unit, from an investment standpoint, is in the preconstruction stages. Most developers are required by their lenders to pre-sell as much as 50% of their units before receiving their construction loan. The good news for buyers is that the time before the first shovel hits dirt is when prices are lowest and selection is greatest.
While the building process could be as long as two years, you'll have paid in "today's dollars" for your condo versus the appreciated price once the condo hotel is complete and operational.
9. How can I find out about condo hotels in early preconstruction stages in Dubai?
It can be difficult to learn about condo hotels before they're built. After all, there's no building to catch your eye and unless you live in Dubai, you won't be privy to "local buzz" about a new project.
Your best bet, therefore, is to align yourself with a knowledgeable real estate broker, one who specializes in condo hotels and has connections with Dubai's development community.
He or she can tell you what is currently available, keep you apprised of new condo hotel projects coming down the line, and also clue you in to special buying opportunities (sales, default units coming back on the market, buyer incentives, etc.) which occasionally crop up.
10. Will the Dubai condo hotel unit you've selected appreciate?
If investment is your primary goal, you want to choose a property that has good appreciation potential. Look at surrounding properties and area appreciation rates. Does the condo hotel have lots of competition? Is it different or better than other area properties?
Is demand for hotel rooms in the area expected to grow in the coming years? In Dubai, this last question is the most important and almost undoubtedly can be answered with a resounding "yes!"

Xi-anna Graham, a 24-year-old mother of four, was strangled at her Marietta, Georgia home by her live-in boyfriend, police say. At least one of her children told authorities they heard a "loud commotion."
Xi-anna Graham was doing what she could. She attended classes at West Georgia Technical College to make something of herself and provide for her family.
Graham, 24, was raising four of her children in suburban Atlanta with love and affection. But her live-in boyfriend was a hot head, police say.
Twenty-seven-year-old Christopher Gene Scarboro had several run-ins with authorities this year alone. On July 4, a warrant obtained by Atlanta TV station WXIA indicates he allegedly struck a man in the face. Months before that, on May 27, allegedly headbutted another woman.
On Wednesday, August 22, 2018, law enforcement doing a welfare check on a home in Marietta, Georgia found Graham unresponsive on the floor, according to media reports. At least one of the victim's children was reported to be in another part of the home at the time. The child told authorities they heard a "loud commotion," according to WXIA-TV.
Police say they were called to a home on Bonnie Dell Drive for a welfare check Just before 3:30 a.m. Wednesday. When they entered, police said they found a woman who had been strangled in an act of domestic violence.
Detectives said Graham was allegedly strangled by her live-in Scarboro. He has been charged with multiple counts, including homicide-murder and aggravated assault.
"Our hearts and thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved in this tragedy," Marietta police spokesperson Chuck McPhilamy told local media outlets. "If you're the one watching this and you know someone who may be in a situation that they shouldn't be and that it could be an abusive situation that they shouldn't be, please the life you could be saving could be theirs."

Everybody loves a lazy Sunday, right? A long lie-in, newspapers in bed (or your tablet, of course, if you are more technically minded) and perhaps a trip out in the afternoon or taking that opportunity to binge-watch your favourite Netflix series.
Of course, all of this is only possible if you don't work on Sundays - which, of course, a lot of people do. Weekend work is par for the course for certain industries, such as retail, hospitality or the emergency services (and journalism!).
And some people love it or, at least, it suits them - perhaps because it fits in with their lifestyle or because they like having time off during the week.
There will be instances, however, when you may need to spend time with your family, or ease up on the amount of shifts you're doing.
This is, potentially, where one little known law could come in handy and the Mirror Online has looked into it.
Workers in certain industries don't actually have to work on Sundays - and can opt out if they so choose.
Again, all staff should be have been told about these Sunday working rights when they first started work.

Kodak Black in court on April 26, 2017 in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
Kodak Black recently celebrated completing his required anger management courses but now, his celebration has been cut short. On Monday (Oct. 9), Black was indicted on first-degree sexual conduct charges by a grand jury in Florence County, South Carolina.
Black, born Dieuson Octave, was arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman back in February 2016 at the Comfort Inn & Suites around the time the rapper was set to perform at a local nightclub. WPDE reports that the woman first reported the incident to a school nurse who then presented the allegations to the Florence County Sheriff’s office.
The Florida native is prohibited from commenting on the situation whether in print, digital, or his social media platforms and is not allowed to contact the victim nor the victim’s family. | 2019-04-19T07:05:07 | https://www.simitu.org/2017/10/10/kodak-black/ |

A project that seeks to increase food security and improve the income and living standards of small-holder farmers in 20 African countries was launched last week in Tanzania. The project, ‘Multinational – CGIAR Support to Agricultural Research for Development of Strategic Crops in Africa (SARD-SC)” and supported by the Africa Development Bank (AfDB) will improve the value chains of four important staple crops – maize, wheat, cassava and rice.
The project was officially launched by Dr. Khalid S. Mohammed, Principal Secretary, Ministry of State, Second Vice President Office, Zanzibar, United Republic of Tanzania, who assured the participants of his government’s support to the initiative which he said was in line with his government’s efforts to develop the agriculture sector, one of the key drivers of the country’s economic growth.
Dr Mohammed noted that while nearly 80% of Tanzania’s 40 million people depended entirely on agriculture for their livelihoods and that, the smallholder farmers supplied nearly 95% of the country’s food requirement, the levels of productivity and production for major crops were very low.
livelihoods,” he informed the project team and partners.
priority crops in Africa – cassava, maize, rice and wheat.
Using cassava as an example, Sanginga said the crop can transform the lives of smallholder farmers in the country if its diverse uses both as a food and a source of industrial raw material such as starch, high quality cassava flour, ethanol among others, are well exploited.
“Together with national researches, we have made good progress in developing improved high-yielding varieties. However, if farmers do not practice good farming methods and move away from manual labor, they will not realize the full potential of these varieties,” he said.
The project’s cassava work will be carried out in Zanzibar, the Southern Agricultural Growth Corridor of Tanzania (SAGCOT) area and Kigoma while that of rice will be carried out in Mwanza/Shinyanga area.
The District Commissioner for Kakonko District in Kigoma region, which is one of the project sites, Toima Kiroya, welcomed the initiative noting that cassava had been earmarked as one of the cash crops to replace tobacco production in the district.
‘Cassava is going to be an important cash crop for the people of Kakonko, as an alternative for tobacco production which degrades environment, is affecting honey production and is hazardous to human health,’ he said.
Ameri Salum a farmer from Machui village in Zanzibar, also at the launch, said they were eagerly waiting for the project to increase cassava and rice production in the island.
“We are waiting to get better varieties that are resistant to diseases and pests and early maturing that will outperform the varieties we have – and farming inputs, such as fertilizers, to increase production. And once we increase production, the project will help us find markets for our produce and also processing,” he said.
The SARD-SC project is a US$86.94 -million initiative that targets to demonstrate by 2016, that it is possible to increase the yields of cassava, maize, rice and wheat by at least 20% on smallholders’ farms; increase the smallholder’s household cash income to $600 from the current $370; and increase food security by at least 20% to 84% from the present 73%.
The project is being implemented in twenty countries: Benin Republic, Cote d’Ivoire, DR Congo, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Lesotho, Madagascar, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe. However, its spill-over effects will be felt in many other countries across the continent.
In addition to IITA leading the cassava value chain and AfricaRice center leading the rice value chain, other partners in the project include the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) which will take lead the work on wheat value chain and International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) which will be responsible for strengthening the capacity of farmers’ groups to adopt the technologies generated.
Others are relevant government ministries, agricultural research institutes, Sokoine University of Agriculture, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), private sector and farmers’ organizations. | 2019-04-19T22:23:32 | http://agricinghana.com/2013/04/16/afdb-funded-project-to-boost-cassava-rice-production-launched-in-tanzania/ |
You’ll obtain the Legendary Animals Map from Hosea during the story mission Exit Pursued by a Bruised Ego early in Chapter 2. The map will indicate the general location of these unique animals in the map, though finding them will require several steps.
First, you have to enter the legendary animal’s territory. You’ll get a prompt in the upper left corner of your screen if you’re within one. Once you’re inside the territory, the next part is finding your first clue. Legendary animals will always have up to 3-4 clues that you have to track and discover in order. Fortunately, the first clues are always found in the same spots, making it easier to track them. Use your Eagle Eye to find the yellow particles leading to a clue. Keep an eye out for a small question mark in your radar as well as it indicates the exact spot of the first clue. Once you examine the first clue, it’s recommended to apply the Cover Scent Lotion to hide your scent.
If there’s too much activity like random encounters, gunfights, story events, etc, the legendary animal won’t spawn in the area. If this is the case, you’ll have to leave the territory for a couple of days then come back later. Camping in the vicinity doesn’t seem to work and you’ll have to travel a certain distance away from the territory to “refresh” it.
After finding and interacting with the first clue, it’s all about following the tracks and interacting with the following clues. Once Arthur says that the creature “must be near”, use your Eagle Eye and scan the surroundings. The tracks should lead to the legendary animal within shooting range. As long as it doesn’t smell you or you don’t spook it, you can attempt to get a bit closer to have clear shots. Most legendary animals will flee so you have to make sure your shots count.
Legendary animals will always drop their legendary skin/pelts and parts no matter what weapon you use. As such, it’s recommended to use your most powerful guns and rounds against legendary animals when hunting them, especially the most dangerous ones and the larger ones.

We know what to expect now when starting a book by Jana Aston, and that is to fall hopelessly in love with her characters and get a face ache from the perma grin and spontaneous laughter. Once again this is exactly what happened in Good Time. There’s something so incredibly likable about Jana Aston’s heroines. They’re quirky, positively nonsensical at times yet in the same breath we completely understand the grain of purpose or meaning which ultimately lies beneath Payton’s rather obscure observations. Good Time is told in her POV.
Honestly, this book could be a sitcom and without fail we’d tune in every week to be a part of Payton’s shenanigans. For every situation we’d find ourselves in we’d think; ‘what would Payton do.’ Mind you, her thought process is one of a kind. She’s quite possibly our favourite heroine penned by Jana Aston. Utterly ridiculous, utterly adorable, utterly compelling. We felt a kinship with everyone else in the story who came across ‘the musings of Payton’; utterly charmed yet utterly confused at the same time. Bloody brilliant. What a fantastic character.
As fascinated as we were by Payton, Vince was even more so. We met Vince in Good Girl and were already charmed by him then, so imagine our giddy excitement to delve into this story. Vince was still an enigma until about halfway through when we got a better understanding of who he is and how he lives and loves. Whilst we wished we’d had his POV to fully connect we got there in the end. And what a treat that was. What a man, a proper man with real heart and soul. We had to laugh at his utter confusion at what escapes Payton’s mouth. The whole blank face; hysterical. Trying to find rhyme or reason was at times like trying to find hay in a needle stack….
Our only issue for why we couldn’t fully enjoy the first half of this book as much as we wanted to, is that it lacked dialogue and we were ‘told’ rather than left to ‘experience’. It was such a shame as we were desperate to feel as if we were part of this story and whilst we loved the characters from the get-go, it did cause a slight detachment. The latter part was less so and we got to experience things outside of Payton’s head which really made our connection that much stronger which meant we enjoyed every single second thereafter.
“You’d be surprised by how much you might have in common with someone completely opposite from you,” I offer.
We have to mention that ALL the characters in Good Time were fabulous, seriously we loved them all and want more, more of everyone and everything! Mark, Cannon and Lawson ALL need their own books! Is Good Time over the top, silly and full of hot nookie? Yes…yes…yes….but we bloody loved it. It made us smile, it made us proper belly laugh and it made us come over all unnecessary.
Vince, who was nothing like I thought he was and everything I never knew I needed. Suddenly I was falling head-over-heels in love with my accidental husband and the idea of ending this union was the last thing I wanted.
So what if we barely knew each other? Statistically speaking, our odds were as good as anyone’s. | 2019-04-19T13:55:08 | https://totallybookedblog.com/2019/01/14/good-time-by-jana-aston/ |

September 2,2008: Hamas has an image problem, and it's getting worse. It's gotten so bad that the 30 year old son (Mosab Yousef) of one of the Hamas founders (Hassan Yousef) has not only renounced Hamas, but has become a Christian. Mosab is fed up with the terrorism/"destroy Israel" approach the Arab world has embraced over the last sixty years. Mosad notes, as have many other Arabs, that this has not worked.
The conversion angle is something Moslems are trying to keep quiet. Mosab Yousef's father pleaded with his son to keep quiet about the conversion (which took place 18 months ago). The elder Yousef knows that this is not an isolated incident. Many young Moslems are abandoning Islam. Most do so quietly. In Iran, the clerics that run the country are shocked at secret police reports about a growing number of young Iranians who have, in effect, abandoned Islam. This sort of thing is happening all over the Moslem world, but especially in Arab countries. The people who switch to Islamic radicalism get all the headlines, not the larger numbers who just walk away from Islam are largely ignored. In the Palestinian territories, there is also a growth in the number of Sunni Moslems who are switching to the Shia version (as championed by Iran). But many other Moslems are openly distancing themselves from the conservative forms of Islam (like the well funded Saudi Wahhabism). One reason this trend is kept quiet is because Islamic militants are inclined to kill such traitors, if the switch is done too openly. Thus the elder Yousef's plea that his son keep quiet, lest he attract the murderous attention of Islamic radicals out to impose the death sentence on apostates.
Hamas was founded in 1987, as one of the Palestinian terrorist organizations that believed attacking Israeli civilians was the way to victory. Hamas also noted (based on what happened to most of the first generation Palestinian terrorist organizations of the 1960s) that they needed more than violence to survive. So they sought out Moslem charities for donations, and ran many humanitarian programs. Once they had a steady stream of charity money coming in, they could divert some of it to terrorist activities. None of this worked. Israel defeated Hamas terrorism efforts twice (early 1990s, then once more a decade later). When Hamas won the Palestinian elections in 2006, and refused to drop its demand for the destruction of Israel (as non-Moslem donors, who provided most of the charitable contributions that kept the Palestinian state going, insisted), money dried up and the Palestinian government split into Hamas in Gaza (with 1.4 million people) and Fatah in the West Bank (with 2.4 million people). The Palestinians have managed to compile an impressive string of failures in the last half century, and many Palestinians are beginning to question the leadership and strategy. | 2019-04-25T18:18:30 | https://www.strategypage.com/htmw/htterr/articles/20080902.aspx |

While most academics today need not worry about persecution, imprisonment or torture, there are sadly still many who do. The council, known as Cara, continues to come to their aid.
Now Elsevier, through its Mendeley platform, is collaborating with Cara to help them leverage technology to enhance the good work being done.
Cara focuses on extricating affected academics from immediate danger, relocating them (temporarily wherever possible) and helping them develop new skills that will enable them to ultimately return to their homelands and take up positions to continue research and teaching while benefiting their own country and community.
Academics seeking Cara’s help differ widely in their language ability and academic skills, but they all need assistance to increase their visibility and employability. Each year, academics from more than 20 countries come “knocking on Cara’s door,” according to Kate Robertson, Cara’s Middle East Adviser. A major feature of its operations is the Cara Scholars at Risk UK Universities Network, which has grown to involve 117 universities. The network supports Cara’s fellowship and country programs, whose current focus is on Syria.
Cara is now getting around 15 to 20 requests for help per week (up from 5 to 6 a few years ago). The rise reflects the number and increasing visibility of global crises affecting academia, especially in Syria, where academics of all levels and backgrounds are impacted and where there is, sadly, no resolution in sight.
Following successful schemes in Iraq and Zimbabwe, Cara launched its Syria program in 2012, using its experience to provide assistance to the many Syrian academics that have been affected by the horrors of the conflict underway in their homeland. Cara works to identify research clusters and pair Syrians with an experienced academic tutor for English for Academic Purposes (EAP) as well as discipline mentors for wider development. The Cara program involves different strands, each aimed at improving an aspect of the participant’s skillset: from EAP to academic skills development to action-learning opportunities during which professional connections can be facilitated with academics from the wider regional and academic communities.
Cara has been working with various partners to achieve its aims, and at Elsevier, we’re proud to be one of these. While providing access to Mendeley and giving advice on setting up and collaborating in the Mendeley Groups, Elsevier has also gifted 11 “Ambassador” accounts to Cara’s Syrian program, enabling full access to ScienceDirect – the world’s largest full-text research database – for those who can most benefit from this. In addition, Elsevier makes ScienceDirect, Scopus, Mendeley and ClinicalKey available to academics still in Syria and over 100 other developing countries through Research4Life, a free and low-cost access program between UN agencies and publishers.
“Cara is incredibly grateful to Elsevier for its support of the Cara Syria Programme and the access to ScienceDirect that it has offered to some of the Syrian academics in exile with whom Cara is working,” said Kate Robertson, Cara Middle-East Adviser.
In the Mendeley Group that has been set up for the Cara Syria program, Cara Technical Lead David Read, Director of Technology Enhanced Learning at the University of Sheffield, has been sharing EAP resources. He is using the functionalities of the platform to create discussion groups whereby the Syrians and their UK academic partners can converse, collaborate and make use of Mendeley’s other features (especially the reference management aspect) to hone their academic skills.
The difficulties of finding a reliable internet connection can make conversation between the Syrians and their tutors and mentors difficult; we anticipate that Mendeley’s functionalities will enable useful offline communication as well as provide a useful means of sharing, using and discussing resources. It is common and understandable for displaced academics to feel isolated and helpless. Mendeley can provide a mechanism for networking as well as establishing an accessible academic profile and creating international links that will hopefully aid such users in their future careers.
It is only men who are free who create the inventions and intellectual works which to us moderns make life worthwhile.
Just days after his Royal Albert Hall speech, Einstein sailed to New York to take up a post at Princeton University. This was meant to be a temporary role, though Einstein never returned to his native continent. Cara strives for a different outcome for its charges. | 2019-04-22T10:22:05 | https://www.elsevier.com/connect/helping-researchers-from-syria-mendeley-and-the-council-for-at-risk-academics |
Chicago, IL - April 17th, 2007 - Integrify Software, Inc., a leading provider of Enterprise Request Management (ERM) software, announced that Lincoln Electric System, the utility servicing the Lincoln, Nebraska area, has chosen its Integrify 4.3 request management software to automate the request-for-change (RFC) process in its IT department. LES is currently using Integrify to increase the efficiency of its IT department but is planning to expand the system into other departments within the organization.
"We wanted a way to keep track of all the work we were doing and to document our various projects," said Dave Mannering, vice president of IT for LES. "Like many IT shops, we have quite a number of simultaneous projects, some big and some small, and it was very difficult to consistently monitor where they were and to ensure all the documentation was in one place."
After researching and testing a few other products, Lincoln Electric chose Integrify because it was the most open-ended. Other products would just do RFC but Mannering's team felt Integrify could do "just about anything. We knew we would start with the project we had in mind, but we wanted to be able to leave it open to automate just about any other business process."
The Integrify software solution is a flexible Enterprise Request Management (ERM) system that allows companies to automate requests and streamline processes. The software provides form creation, routing definition and tracking tools to those responsible for processing requests, minimizing data entry and simplifying requests for approval and fulfillment. Integrify is web-based, allowing for easy user accessibility and management of business processes. The solution eliminates problems typically related to labor-intensive processes such as manual paper handling and email requests, and can reduce costs per transaction 60 to 90 percent as opposed to paper-based processes.
Currently, 70 of the company's 460 employees (over four separate facilities), are designated users on the system. The Lincoln Electric IT team expects to see an increase in its efficiency, effectiveness and service levels.
"For us it's more of a risk-avoidance project than a return-on-investment project," said Mannering. "Integrify is giving us much greater control over workflow and outcomes. We can better ensure the quality of work and save ourselves the time of having to re-do something."
Ultimately, Lincoln Electric plans to automate all the business processes in the IT department and then expand the Integrify system to other departments and processes. | 2019-04-23T00:24:51 | https://www.integrify.com/blog/posts/lincoln-electric-system-chooses-integrify-to-automate-it-department/ |

For over two decades, children’s books publisher Sarah has worked with some of the world’s best-loved authors including J K Rowling, Louis Sachar, Celia Rees and Neil Gaiman. She is currently editor-at-large for Pushkin Press as well as editor for SCOOP Magazine. Sarah has two daughters, who are both grown up, and two grandsons all of whom love to share stories.
Q) Who was your favourite author or novel as a child and why?
I wasn’t a particularly enthusiastic reader as a child, and remember finding it hard to get hooked by a book, but I did love stories so once I got into an author I was pretty committed! I loved big epic stories, Robinson Crusoe, Little House on the Prairie, the C.S. Lewis books. I still think so fondly of the excitement of starting on Prince Caspian – partly fuelled by the wonderful cover of a boy on a horse racing along between trees. I wanted to be that child and I carried the book around with me endlessly. Enid Blyton was the first ‘author’ I was aware of as a creative person. That was an important moment – realising that real people wrote these books that engrossed me.
Q) A recent study revealed that children are rejecting the classics in favour of modern titles. What do you think about that and should we care?
I don’t think it matters at all if children are not reading the classics (whatever they may be and whoever gets to make that decision). The world is a changing place and fiction reflects those changes. Perhaps the classics just feel too out of touch for many children, or too slow in terms of how their stories build. Writing styles have changed, voices are different and children’s reading tastes are different too. I think it is more important that diversity is reflected in the books young people are able to read. I suspect it is more likely to engage young readers if they can see something of their own lives in a book and while the books considered classics are often amazing reads, they may not offer a child the kind of engagement that contemporary fiction does.
Q) With such a huge array of children’s books now available, particularly from celebrity authors, as an editor what qualities do you look for and how do you know if a book will be a success?
I look for a compelling story with deeper meanings and themes. I like multi-dimensional stories that work on a number of levels and therefore satisfy readers in different ways. Funny books with heart and soul, socially conscious books with humour. I like it when a book can surprise you and when it delivers its message with subtlety and wit. I also really need characters that are relatable, flawed, real people. Characters whose actions feel plausible and of course a flawed character is so much more relatable as we are all a little bit flawed. You never know if a book is going to be successful in terms of sales, reviews and awards. You have only your enthusiasm to go on. I have published books that I have loved with a passion that have failed to sell well, and others that I have been surprised and delighted by the scale of the response. This lack of certainty is one of the most fun and frustrating things about our business. In the end, we have to keep the faith in our books and hope that the world of readers will agree with our choices.
Q) Why did you co-create Scoop Magazine and how do you attract such giants of children’s literature to contribute?
We created SCOOP to make a range of great writing available to children in a magazine format, bite-sized pieces of work that a child can dip in and out of complemented with beautiful design and art to give the child a precious and covetable magazine of their own. Children do love the printed format, they are not all reading everything on the screen, far from it. SCOOP is part of our on-going relationship with the printed word. We have been incredibly fortunate receiving the phenomenal support of writers who, like us, feel that there are lots of great ways to share reading with young people. SCOOP is simply another way of offering children great reading and writers are always really keen to support us.
Q) I have to ask about your experience with the Harry Potter series, but there are just too many questions. Could you please share your thoughts on what it was like to be involved in probably the most incredible publishing phenomenon of all time?
Being involved with Harry Potter was a huge gift. The first book was bought by Bloomsbury as we acquired all titles – based on the wonderful voice of the author, her gifts as a storyteller and her vision. It was championed in-house as a book that we felt children would love. Within a very short time of publishing HARRY POTTER AND THE PHILOSOPHER’S STONE we started to get letters from young readers, lots of letters, asking for more and we knew then that something pretty exciting was going on. Never in our wildest dreams could we have seen the scale of what was going to happen with the series but we did know then, as we know now, that Jo Rowling is an amazingly talented author with a unique gift for original, funny, touching and important story telling. The success of the series really did move the bar, both in terms of how the publishing industry viewed the contribution of the children’s sector as well as how editors started to think more broadly about the sorts of books that we could publish for young readers. I think that the Harry Potter series changed the world of children’s publishing.
Q) You have worked with so many amazing children’s authors throughout your career. Do you have any advice for parents who struggle to get their children to enjoy read and which authors / books would you recommend for reluctant readers.
As someone who herself took a while to really grow a love of reading I think parents have to trust that given a range of choices, and no pressure, children will find the books that they are interested in and will go from there. I would not recommend any books to any child without knowing what those children are into – is it dinosaurs, science, football, space travel? Then I would start thinking about books that complement those wider interests. It is only by trying to build links between a child’s interest and their imagination, and showing how reading can feed both, that we can go some way to help children engage with books. There are wonderful booksellers and librarians who can really help with choices when asked for books about specific subjects and they are by far the best people to advise.
Sarah is currently organising a writers conference in London in July to help emerging authors polish their writing skills as well as prepare their work for submission to publishers and agents (writersworkshop.blog).

Sepulcro Dolménico de Son Bauló, is the name of this prehistoric cemetery that was recently found near the holiday resort of Ca’n Picafort.
The site, is an early example of how we still bury our lost ones, by using big stones on each grave. Archaeologists and ethnologists believe, that the big stones here (megaliths), was used as a form of protection, for the dead to not be disturbed, or protected from evil spirits.
This prehistoric cemetery, is believed to have existed during the bronze age, because of the human bones and artifacts found on the site. The municipality of Santa Margalida, has invested more than 100.000 euros in this project.
The cemetery has been fenced, to protect it, as excavations are still going on. The site is located rather strange, behind an industrian area, in the outskirts of town, så don’t be surprised, enjoy the many free parking spaces. | 2019-04-21T03:28:51 | https://accesmallorca.com/sights-see-mallorca/prehistoric-sites/prehistoric-cemetery-son-baulo/ |
Evenings are an ideal time for practicing mindfulness. With the day behind you and the promise of a good night’s sleep ahead, you can unwind, reflect, and take the time to center yourself before going to bed. Here’s how you can incorporate mindfulness into your nighttime routine.
Research has shown that the blue light from computers, smartphones, and other electronic devices can make it harder to fall asleep at night. Electronics are also highly distracting – it’s hard to live in the moment when you’ve got a dozen tabs open in your browser. Turn off your gadgets for at least one hour before you go to bed.
If you keep a mindfulness journal, evenings are a perfect time to write in it, since the events of the day are still fresh in your mind. Jot down some observations about what you experienced and accomplished, and make a note of your thoughts and feelings. If you’re working on improving your productivity, make a note of what you want to accomplish the next day.
Before you turn off the lights, take the time to lay out the next day’s clothes and program your coffee maker. Setting things up for your future self will help you feel less stressed about the upcoming day, and you’ll have a more productive morning if you prepare ahead of time.
Incorporating mindfulness into your evening routine won’t just help you fall asleep more easily. It will also help you maintain a brighter outlook and get more done around the clock. Incorporate these tips into your nighttime routine, and you’ll reap the benefits all day long. | 2019-04-19T10:18:37 | https://mindfulportal.com/practicing-mindfulness-as-a-nighttime-routine/ |

1. True Solicitors act for claimants who have been injured on the road, at work, or who have suffered injury as a result of clinical negligence. We employ 220 people across four offices; Newcastle, Leeds, Ipswich and Birmingham.
2. The Government blames the prevalence of RTA-related whiplash claims on a combination of fraud, cold calling and targeted advertising, but in doing so completely overlooks the fact that 70% of claims are presented by insurer connected law firms.
3. Insurers recognised they could increase profits by acting for injured claimants under their own Before the Event (BTE) legal expense insurance policies, and so with the advent of Alternative Business Structures (ABSs) in 2012, insurers quickly acquired law firms. As a consequence the personal injury sector is now dominated by insurer-owned law firms such as DLG Legal Services (a subsidiary of Direct Line Group), Admiral Law, Minster law (a subsidiary of BGL Group), Ageas Law, Co-operative Legal Services and RSA Law. Other insurers, such as LV, have formed joint ventures with law firms so they can profit from acting for injured claimants.
4. The number of injury claims being presented by insurer-connected law firms (or panel law firms) is huge. It states at paragraph 7.56 of the Whiplash Impact Assessment that ‘70% of claimants currently have BTE funded legal representation’. The MoJ’s impact assessment fails to address this issue because it believes the problem is not with these law firms because they ‘are favoured by defendants (insurers), as those who will not unduly inflate claims’.
5. So, according to the insurance industry, the prevalence of whiplash claims has nothing to do with the 70% of claims that are controlled by the insurance industry, but everything to do with the 30% that are not!
7. According to the impact assessment ‘80% of pre-medical claims currently have no legal representation’6 and, whilst this seems high, it must be understood that insurers operate substantial third party capture departments whose purpose is to settle third party injury claims direct without the involvement of a lawyer.
8. It is our view the number of pre-medical offers made by insurers is in excess of 150,000 and the evidence for this comes from the Compensation Recovery Unit (CRU). For the year 2015/2016 the CRU records 555,841 RTA settlements with 139,176 claimants (25%) recorded as not having legal representation (see table).
9. The Committee should be suspicious of an industry that prides itself of the quality of its data but now admits it does ‘not record details of Pre-medical offers’.
10. The Committee should be suspicious of an industry that prides itself of the quality of its data but now admits it does ‘not record details of Pre-medical offers’.
11. We do not agree that a fixed sum tariff should be introduced to cover minor injury claims because no two cases are the same.
12. General damages are awarded for pain, suffering and loss of amenity and so the amount of compensation varies depending on the type and severity of the injury, the injury duration, and the effect the injury had on the claimant’s life, such as their ability to work, care for children, enjoy hobbies, play sport, perform household chores, socialise etc.
13. Some people are fit and healthy and recover quickly, but others can take longer to recover because they are old, or frail, or have pre-existing conditions and ailments. There is no one-size fits all solution.
14. As for the tariff, the proposed figures are derisory and unfair, and this can be demonstrated by examining past reported cases and seeing what the outcome would be following implementation of the reforms. Take for example the Matthews v Langley (2015) case.
15. Vicky Matthews was a 38-year old nursery nurse who suffered soft tissue injuries to her neck, shoulders, lower back and chest, whilst travelling as a passenger. Vicky received treatment at the scene and was taken by ambulance to hospital where she received further treatment. Her injuries restricted her ability to lift which meant she could not work and it made it difficult for her to sleep. She attended her GP twice, was prescribed pain killers, and also underwent 9 sessions of physiotherapy. She experienced ongoing pain and restricted movement in her neck, shoulders and back from which she was expected to fully recover by 5 to 7 months.
16. Vicky had legal representation which meant she was able to pursue her claim to court where she was awarded £2,250 injury compensation.
17. Under the Government’s proposals Vicky would get £450 on the basis her injury settled under 7 months, however from this she would have to pay legal costs. As Vicky was a passenger it is not clear whether she would have legal expenses insurance. If not, then she would be left pursuing her claim either as a litigant in person or represented by a Claims Management Company (CMC) who would charge a success fee (typically 25% to 39%). The outcome for Vicky is that she would be left with compensation of £275 to £340.
18. This provision, whilst well meaning, is utterly pointless.
19. In order to obtain the ‘discretionary uplift’ the solicitor would be required to issue court proceedings supported by a witness statement explaining why the ‘discretionary uplift’ should be applied. The legal work, including representation at the court hearing, would cost at least £200 plus VAT. The court issue fee for a small claim under £300 (assuming it was only the discretionally uplift in dispute) would be £35 and the hearing fee would £25. Given the average damages for an injury lasting under 24 months would be around £1000 (based on figures from the Impact Assessment which shows the proportion of claims that settle within each injury bracket), who would risk incurring costs of at least £300 to persuade a judge to award them £200.00?
20. The Government will say these cases are ‘straightforward enough to be brought without the need for legal representation’, but does it really believe that a litigant in person, having been told by an insurer that they are entitled to £450 for a 6 month injury, would also be told about a ‘discretionary uplift’. And, even if they were, would they be prepared to draft and commence court proceedings, pay an issue fee and hearing fee amounting to £60, and attend court to argue against a barrister appointed by the insurer that their case was exceptional such that the court should award them an additional 20%. Not a chance.
Banning the settlement of claims without medical evidence.
21. Whilst we support a ban on pre-medical offers, we believe it would be impossible to enforce because insurers, knowing they cannot make a pre-medical offer for injuries, will simply offer the claimant an arbitrary amount of money, most likely described as being towards the cost of ’treatment’, which the claimant will accept in full and final settlement.
22. Therefore if a ban is not to be implemented, we make two proposals; that pre-medical offers to unrepresented claimants should never be in full and final settlement, and that insurers must disclose to the CRU every settlement they make with an unrepresented claimant specifying whether it was made without medical evidence.
23. Raising the small claims limit to £5,000 and implementing the proposed tariff scheme, will have the following consequences.
24. It removes access to justice for the majority of injury victims. The reality of increasing the small claims limit to £5000 is that it impacts on almost every claimant who has suffered an injury because it is impossible to advise an injured claimant whether the value of their injury claim exceeds £5000 without medical evidence. Only claimants with legal expenses insurance, or those with a clearly serious injury, would get help from a lawyer in the early stages of their claim. The rest would be left to fend for themselves.
25. If the claim is valued at less than £5000 the only costs a solicitor can recover are those that can be deducted from the claimant’s damages, which is limited under the CFA regulations to 25% including VAT. Going forward, based on the suggested tariffs, costs on some cases will be limited to £62.50 including VAT, which is not enough to pay for legal representation on a no-win, no-fee basis.
26. Children and clients under a disability will not get legal representation. The Impact Assessment acknowledges that raising the small claims limit could ‘adversely impact children’ because injury claims involving children ‘must be settled via the court’ and the legal cost of doing so will no longer be recoverable. The Government assumes that the cost of court proceedings will be deducted from the claimant’s damages but, as we stated earlier, the 25% success fee does not provide enough remuneration to cover this cost.
28. The Government’s contention that ‘most minor PI cases are straightforward enough to be brought without the need for legal representation’ is undermined by evidence from Caseman (the County Court case management system) which shows ‘96% of PI claims in the SCT have legal representation’.
29. The Government strives to underplay the effect of the reforms on access to justice by suggesting that claimants with BTE insurance will still have legal representation, however this ignores the fact that the take-up of BTE insurance will fall dramatically as a consequence of the FCA’s ban on opt-out selling which came into force in April 16 and the increase in the cost of BTE insurance as a consequence of these reforms.
30. It seems the Government is so fixated on increasing the small claims limit just because it has not changed for 25 years, that it has not explored whether its objectives could be achieved without destroying the efficiencies and cost savings that have been achieved through the implementation of the RTA and EL/PL Claims Portals and the associated protocols, and without removing access to justice for those that cannot afford a solicitor or do not have legal expenses insurance.
31. The rules and regulations governing the conduct of personal injury litigation and the amount of legal costs that are recoverable have changed beyond recognition from what they were 25 years ago, and so it is irrational to suggest the whole system needs to be changed solely because a small part of it has not changed for 25 years.
32. When the small claims limit was set at £1000 solicitors were paid an hourly rate for the work they did, and this continued though the introduction of Conditional Fee Agreements in 1995, and the recoverability of success fees and ATE premiums in 2000. In October 2003 Predictable Costs were introduced and this was the first of many subsequent reforms that reduced legal costs.
33. The RTA portal was introduced in 2010 together with fixed portal costs of £1200. In 2013 the Jackson Reforms extended the RTA portal to all claims up to £25,000 and reduced portal costs for cases up to £10,000 to £500. At the same time the LASPO reforms abolished the recoverability of success fees and ATE premiums and introduced fixed recoverable costs for non-portal cases.
34. When Professors Fenn and Rickman were instructed by the Civil Justice Council in 2002 to carry out research into the legal costs of pursuing low value RTA claims, they found, based on a dataset of almost 40,000 cases provided by defendant insurers, that the average base costs for non litigated cases in 1999 was £1600 (almost £2600 in today’s money). Today the average base costs for portal cases up to £10,000 is £550.00 – 79% less than what it was in 1999!
35. Legal costs for injury claims that settle in the RTA portal claims are lower now than they were 25 years ago, and costs for cases outside the portal are fixed and proportionate, so why increase the small claims limit when doing so has serious consequences.
36. We do not accept that the current system needs to change but if the Government is determined to press ahead, then we would suggest the same savings could be achieved by simply reducing the amount of legal costs payable for those cases under £5000 that are simple and straightforward and settle in the portal.
37. Where the case does not settle at Stage 2, which is an indication the claim is more complicated, the existing cost rules should apply.
o It keeps costs proportionate to the amount of money involved and the complexity of the case.
o It encourages good behaviour by reducing significantly the legal costs payable by insurers where they admit liability early and make reasonable offers.
o Legal costs are retained for cases that require litigation.
o The RTA & EL/PL Portal, which are effective and efficient systems for handing volume claims, will continued to be used to process injury claims.
o Injured children and vulnerable claimants will get legal representation.
o The number litigants in person will not increase.
o Solicitors, rather than CMC’s, will continue to act as ‘gatekeepers’ of the personal injury claims process.
o We also support the Alternative Claims Framework proposal put forward by the Access to Justice (a2J) group. This proposal would also achieve the Governments aims without dismantling the existing claims process.
39. Fraudulent motor claims are a problem but they are nowhere near as widespread as the insurance industry has led the Government to believe. According to the Association of British Insurers (ABI) there were 59,900 “dishonest” motor insurance claims in 2013, with a value of £811 million, however this evidence was criticized by the Transport Select Committee because it was not “clear from published material how the ABI has arrived at these figures or what counts as “dishonest”.
40. On the ABI’s website it states insurers are encouraged to report cases of “clear detected fraud”, however in an explanatory note to its members it also encourages insurers to report cases where a claimant has withdrawn a claim, or accepts a reduced settlement, or fails to provide documentation.
41. The ABI must know the number of cases where “clear detected fraud” exists but chooses not to release this information because, we suspect, the relatively few cases of detected fraud, evidenced by the scarcity of arrests and convictions, would undermine the one of the key justifications for the reforms.
The role of Claims Management Companies.
42. The proposed reforms will increase the prevalence of whiplash claims and, as a consequence, the number of fraudulent claims because CMCs, who are largely unregulated, will move into this market offering representation for a larger share of the claimant’s damages (typically 25% to 39%).
43. Solicitors act as the “gatekeepers” of the personal injury claims process, rejecting thousands of claims for a variety of different reasons e.g. liability is poor, the injury is minor, the claim is statute barred, the claim is spurious etc. Some claims are rejected because the claimant, having been told about the consequences of making a dishonest claim, decides not to pursue a claim. If solicitors are removed from the process, CMCs will submit these claims and swamp insurers with cases that should never have been brought.
44. Evidence from the Claims Management Regulator suggests this behaviour is rife with 23% of regulated CMCs faced regulatory sanction by the Claims Management Regulator in 2014/15. Furthermore, the Insurance Fraud Bureau reported that in the 18 months to July 2015 it had received more than 400 intelligence reports about suspected CMC fraud, that more than half of its live investigations featured a CMC, and that this included 56 separate CMCs under investigation for involvement in ‘crash for cash’ scams. Add to that the result of an ABI survey which showed that 83% of people had received unwanted cold calls or texts from CMCs.
Based on 27,378 RTA cases from Defendant insurer A and 11,420 RTA cases from Defendant insurer B where the claim settled for less than £15,000. | 2019-04-19T00:41:06 | https://www.true.co.uk/news/true-solicitors-response-justice-committee-inquiry-personal-injury/ |
Lp: Tell us about your journey in leadership at Perimeter.
Leah: I began in High School ministry and later worked as an office manager at Perimeter School. I began working with the residency development team in 2014. Our first class started in August of 2015.
Lp: Tell us a bit about where your residents have come from and where they are today.
Leah: Well, we’ve had about 30 or so come through the program. Of that number about a quarter are from the Atlanta area or from internally here at Perimeter. The majority who have finished the 2nd year, are employed at churches, one went on to Seminary, and we have a couple over in Greece working with the refugee crisis there.
Lp: That’s a great track record! If you boiled it down to one thing, what do you think the secret sauce of Perimeter Residency is?
Leah: Well, I think I could say there are two things. First, we are an equipping church. From the top down in our DNA is this idea of raising up volunteers into leadership and setting them free. This would be impossible without that vision.
Secondly, I’d say the two-year approach. I just think most residents are deer-in-the-headlights for three or four months. It takes a while for them to come up to speed just in the working environment. So, if it’s four months just to get comfortable, and another half-year of proving oneself in a ministry setting, then the 2nd year is where the great stuff happens. This is where they really begin to shine. In worship, for example, the residents are running one of the venues by the 2nd year. That’s a lot of trust and that won’t happen in the first year.
OK…let me add a 3rd thing – our staff! Our leaders who are taking these residents are amazing! They are committed to it.
Lp: But without the top down DNA, they probably wouldn’t view that as part of their job.
Lp: Two-year stay is something we talk about every day. “Two years” sounds like forever when you’re 20 or 24.
Leah: I know! But we can’t get there in the first year. At the 18-month mark they are beginning the transition of resumes, interviews, getting connected to Slingshot, or wherever for their role. Once we’re at that point it’s like wow that was fast!
Lp: How do you fund the program?
Leah: It comes from our ‘All In’ giving campaign which is over and above regular giving. Our church is committed financially as well as in our DNA.
Lp: What are you up against?
Leah: Well, the recruiting piece for one. It’s just tough for our staff to do all that’s required of them and set aside the time for all of the talking that it takes to ensure a great team fit.
Lp: What’s your advice to another church considering this?
Leah: Build community! If your residents are coming out of undergrad, they are exiting probably the most intensive time of community they’ll ever experience. You have to back fill some this.
You can read more about Perimeter’s residency program here and their church here.

We were in a posh part of Kent (no not Dover!!) somewhere near Ashford on Thursday night just gone. We had been hired to ensure a well known (although I’d never heard of them) wine brewer of sorts had a Christmas staff party to remember! It was a cold night and therefore we thought it was best that we got all guests in as efficiently as possible. Norman was in charge of car park design in the only way he knows…’it will fit in there!’ Once all guests had arrived and were ready to sit down for service, we scarpered. A couple of scruffy looking agency staff waiters then rocked up and caused quite a scene and talking point amongst the wine revellers!

U.S. President George Bush waves to reporters Oct. 11, 1992 upon leaving the White House in Washington.
Regardless of politics, most people will acknowledge that the late President George H.W. Bush, had all the most important qualities of a human being, and as an American.
I’m not going to recount here all the accomplishments of his long life of service to our country. You probably have read it all on Facebook and in newspapers, and have seen it in the news the last few days.
What I remember most about President Bush is that he was a decent man.
It’s not an exaggeration to say this holiday season is quite a stretch.
Obviously, he loved his dear wife Barbara from the day they met until his last breath. Even in the height of power as leader of the free world, he would exercise decency and was a true gentleman.
I remember the victory in the first Gulf War, and how he built the large coalition of countries from around the world to push Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait. It was possible, in part, because of the relationships he had built over years public service.
One of the small things President Bush was known for was making you feel special when you were in his presence, no matter your place on the social or economic scale.
Another was his note writing. He would spend hours sending handwritten personal notes to those he met. From world leaders to a 6-year-old visitor to the White House, he made a point to connect with you.
Harford County Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Sean Bulson has said on several occasions that the safety, security and mental well-being of the 38,000 HCPS students and 5,000 employees is his and the community’s first priority. He said so again during a budget work session Tuesday evening.
On his last day in office as the most powerful man in the world, President Bush left a note to Bill Clinton, the man who after a brutal election had defeated beat him, removing him from office.
The note ends with: “You will be our President when you read this note. I wish you well. I wish your family well. Your success now is our country’s success.
I personally don’t believe decency died with President George H.W. Bush. We all should not give up on being a decent person, should not give up on politeness and respect of each other — and also of the people we elect to lead our country, even if we don’t always agree with their policies.
The author runs the Griffith Never Give Up Foundation. In 1992 he attended an appearance and speech by George H.W. Bush when the president came to Riverside/Belcamp. | 2019-04-26T02:39:59 | https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/harford/aegis/opinion/ph-ag-letter-dwight-griffith-20181203-story.html |
That's right, y'all. Thursday is Chinese New Year and so begins the Year of the Monkey. Personally, I thought EVERY year was Year of the Monkey, but this time it's official.
6:30pm - Ride to the International District to Top Gun Seafood Restaurant (668 S King St)... the best Chinese restaurant in Seattle. Someone remind me to call them before we leave and tell them how many of us are coming.
Somewhere between 8 and 9pm - Ride to the Rickshaw Restaurant and Lounge (322 North 105th) for some of the weirdest karaoke you'll find.
ALTERNATE PLAN: If it's raining, we'll instead go to Bush Garden (which I realize is a Japanese restaurant) instead of the Rickshaw for karaoke. Bush Garden is at 614 Maynard Avenue South.

UNIGINE's Import System allows you to import models and scenes in various external formats (FBX, DAE, OBJ, etc.). Although the basic set of file formats supported by UNIGINE out-of-the-box includes the most commonly used ones, in some cases you may need to import models or scenes in some specific file format. Fortunately the Import System can be extended to support any custom file format.
Implement your own custom importer as a plugin.
Create your own import pre-processor.
Use your custom importer to bring a scene stored in a custom file format to UNIGINE.
So, in this example we are going create a custom importer for a custom file format. Let it be an xml-based format in which we declare our scene as a hierarchy of nodes that have a transformation and can have a mesh, light or camera attribute. Let our file format have a .myext exstension. An example of a scene in our custom format containing all available elements is given below.
At the end of this example we're going to have this model imported to UNIGINE's world and saved in UNIGINE's native file formats in the specified folder. But before we get started, a little bit of theory (as key points).
UNIGINE's API offers us a set of classes for implementing customized model import.
A custom importer should be inherited from the Importer class.
A custom import processor should be inherited from the ImportProcessor class.
Enough words! Let's get to business! The code below is supplemented with comments explaining the basic aspects of the process.
As you know each importer should be implemented as a plugin. So we're going to create a C++ plugin.
As for plugin implementation, it's also simple. Include UnigineImport.h for basic import functionality and our importer's header file (MyImporter.h).
To learn more about creating a C++ plugin please refer to this article.
First we should define some intermediate data structures to which all parameters of imported scene elements are to be extracted. And we should declare a common template for UserData to be able to assign data to the import structures.
Extract data from the input file, put it to the corresponding import structures (ImportMesh, ImportLight, etc.) and add them to the import scene.
Use pre-processor(s) to prepare scene metadata when necessary (e.g. merge all static meshes into a single one, optimize vertex cache, etc.). In our example we're going to strip off light color information if the corresponding option (make_lights_white) is set.
Save generated UNIGINE objects to *.node and *.mesh files. This part is performad by the DefaultProcessor, so we do nothing here.
These default values can be changed in your application when using the importer via the Importer::setParameter*() methods.
First, let us create a new project named MyProject, that will use our library. Let it be a simple project using UnigineScript only (the idea for C++ is the same).
Put our plugin library module (a *.dll, *.so or *.dylib file) to our project's bin directory.
Make sure your project's binary and plugin library have the same bitness and version.
The same can be done in the project's system logic via Engine::addPlugin() on the C++ side or via Engine.addPlugin() on the C# side of the project.
Use the plugin in our project. Let's add some lines of code to the init() method of the world script (MyProject.cpp file) to demonstrate the idea.
my_importer.init("my_scene.myext", ~0); // initializing the importer with default import flags IMPROT_LIGHTS, IMPORT_MESHES, IMPORT_CAMERAS, etc.
Now when we launch our project with MyImporter plugin loaded and MyProject world opened the scene will imported to the world and corresponding files are saved to MyProject/data/output_folder/ folder. | 2019-04-23T08:32:39 | https://developer.unigine.com/docs/2.7.1/code/usage/custom_import_plugin/index |

Members of the Hudson Explorers Aquatic Team pulled double duty Jan. 28, acting as both participants and host at its own meet.
The team hosted its annual Turn Up the HEAT meet at Cleveland State University’s Busbey Natatorium.
Not only did the nearly 200 HEAT members take part in the competition, but they hosted close to 300 additional competitors from other local swim clubs as well.
While many meets are about the swimmers, Turn Up the HEAT was a true team effort for the parents as well. Dozens of volunteers helped out with everything from timing events, posting results, getting the kids behind the starting blocks on time, and everything in between.
"Thank you to the veteran parents, who stepped up to lead the way, and to the new parents, who jumped in with enthusiasm," HEAT meet director Sue Walton said. "Thank you, too, to our coaches and parent leadership council."
The following HEAT swimmers achieved top-five finishes at the meet, scored individually by age. | 2019-04-20T13:19:34 | https://www.mytownneo.com/sports/20190204/hudson-explorers-aquatics-team-excels-at-turn-up-heat-in-cleveland |
TAYCHEEDAH - Two men were seriously injured Thursday night in a head-on crash in the town of Taycheedah.
A 35-year-old Fond du Lac man was traveling west about 7:30 p.m. on Fond du Lac County WH east of Konen Road, crossed the center line and struck another vehicle headed east, according to the Fond du Lac County Sheriff 's Office.
The driver of the other vehicle was a 41-year-old man from Mount Calvary.
Both injured men had to be extricated from their vehicles and were flown to Theda Care Regional Medical Center in Neenah.
County WH was closed for approximately five hours as the crash was investigated and the scene was cleaned up.
The Sheriff's Office says alcohol may be a factor in what caused the crash.
City of Fond du Lac Ambulance, Town of Calumet Fire Department, Flight for Life and Theda Star Helicopters, and the Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Office Crash Investigation Team assisted at the scene. | 2019-04-23T10:51:39 | https://www.fdlreporter.com/story/news/2018/02/09/two-injured-head-crash-fond-du-lac-county/322693002/?from=new-cookie |
For days this month, the ambulances from this Ebola treatment unit went out in search of patients, only to return with just one or two suspected cases. And many times, those people ended up testing negative for the disease.
“Where are the patients?” an aid worker wondered aloud as colleagues puzzled over the empty beds at the International Medical Corps treatment unit here in Bong County, Liberia, which opened in mid-September.
Around the country, treatment centers, laboratory workers who test for Ebola, and international and national health officials trying to track the epidemic have noticed an unexpected pattern: There are far fewer people being treated for Ebola than anticipated.
As of Sunday, fewer than half of the 649 treatment beds across the country were occupied, a surprising change in a nation where patients had long been turned away from Ebola units for lack of space.
Now, new admissions to treatment centers are dropping or flatlining, the number of samples being submitted to Ebola laboratories has fallen significantly, and the percentage of people testing positive for the disease has dropped as well.
Dr. Bruce Aylward, the organization’s assistant director general, in a dial-in news conference from its Geneva offices, said that there had been a drop in the number of burials in Liberia and no increases in laboratory-confirmed cases.
While Dr. Aylward cautioned that it was premature to draw conclusions, and that Ebola cases could rise in Liberia again, he appeared to be optimistic that the global effort to combat the outbreak was making headway.
“Do we feel confident that the response is now getting an upper hand on the virus?” he told reporters. “Yes, we are seeing slowing rate of new cases, very definitely” in Liberia.
“The numbers are decreasing, but we don’t know why,” said Malin Lager, a spokeswoman at a Doctors Without Borders treatment center just outside Monrovia, the capital. Its vast campus of white tents, which has a capacity for 253 patients, had only 90 on Sunday.
“It’s too early to celebrate,” Ms. Lager said.
“People ran away,” the Rev. G. Victor Padmore, a member of an Ebola task force here, reported after visiting a community where there had been a case. Days later, in another district, he visited a family that had recently lost a 3-year-old child.
Some rural health workers say the outreach efforts have made residents more willing to report cases and seek treatment.
“It’s not as it was in August or September,” said Kollie Singbeh, an Ebola case investigator for Margibi County.
Elvis Ogweno, a Kenyan nurse who heads the International Medical Corps ambulance team, said that several Ebola-affected communities he had visited still reacted with fear. | 2019-04-23T03:55:59 | http://transact.seesaa.net/article/407988047.html |

We are spending two months in Florida. One month each at Williston Crossings RV Resort, , and Rock Crusher.
Typically, RVs come equipped with either a 30 amp or a 50 amp electrical system . The majority of RVs are equipped with a 30 amp electrical.
A 30 amp cord has three prongs, and a 50 amp has four.

Content protection features in Windows Vista are preventing customers from playing high-quality video and audio and harming system performance, even as Microsoft neglects security programs that could protect users, computer researcher Peter Gutmann argued at the USENIX Security Symposium in Boston Wednesday.
Vista requires premium content like high-definition movies to be degraded in quality when sent to high-quality outputs, so users are seeing status codes that say "graphics OPM resolution too high." Gutmann calls this "probably the most bizarre status code ever."
Gutmann, who wore a white T-shirt marked with a Windows Vista logo during his presentation, first issued his criticisms several months ago with a paper titled A Cost Analysis of Windows Vista Content Protection.
Gutmann's paper called Vista's content protection rules "the longest suicide note in history."
Microsoft acknowledged that quality of premium content would be lowered if requested by copyright holders, the BBC reported. Microsoft defended its copyright protections after Gutmann's paper came out, saying they are common features of many playback devices, the BBC article says.
The protections allow copyright holders to prevent video from being played in high definition unless users have equipment that supports the High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) digital rights management system developed by Intel. If PC users have graphics cards with video connections that don't support HDCP, they are out of luck.
High-definition audio is also blocked in many cases, Gutmann said Wednesday.
"It's taking this open architecture that IBM created 25 years ago and making it closed again," he said.
In a 132-slide PowerPoint presentation, Gutmann outlined numerous features of Vista that he says are frustrating customers and programmers. New functionality related to content protection makes it hard to develop new drivers, he said. When ATI was finally able to ship Vista drivers, they crashed Windows, and Dell and Gateway had to delay Vista upgrades because they couldn't get working drivers, he said.
Gutmann said hardware costs will increase because vendors can't provide Vista-approved security functionality unless Hollywood studios like MGM, 20th Century Fox and Disney grant written approval saying the content security meets their standards.
A Vista function known as "tilt bits" -- like the tilt sensor in pinball machines -- requires hardware and software drivers to report every minor glitch, even ones that cause no problems, Gutmann said.
"Every otherwise unnoticeable minor glitch is suddenly surfaced and turned into a showstopper," he said.
Separately, all the extra encryption required to meet Vista's content protection standards means some computer components can never enter power-saving mode, he said. Thus, when you play a movie your CPU keeps running at full steam, he said. The extra power demands make it hard to reduce electricity usage.
"It's a bit of an extreme claim, but you could say Windows Vista causes global warming, because it's burning so much power with all this nonsense," Gutmann said.
The encryption requirements render high-end graphics processing units less effective, he said, because the best of those products emphasize graphics performance over content protection. On Vista, US$100-video cards can thus outperform those that cost $1,000.
Gutmann argued that Microsoft placed content protection above all other priorities when building Vista, perhaps to gain favor and money from Hollywood. Microsoft should have instead focused this effort on security features that protect users, Gutmann said, such as encrypted paging to protect user secrets, protected content domains that keep out malware, and anti-debugging techniques to prevent rootkit hooking.
New Zealand's government, which has argued that digital rights management fails to address the rights of people and government, appears to be the only government worldwide to express public concern about Vista's content protection standards, Gutmann said.
This story, "Vista Prevents Users From Playing High-Def Content" was originally published by Network World. | 2019-04-19T15:01:04 | https://www.pcworld.com/article/135814/article.html |
Trump – What got him here?
United States President Donald Trump, arguably the most powerful person in the world, is a phenomenon that people have been trying to measure and make sense of for the last one year. He has defied odds, made political analysts look like fools and has always had extreme opinions. What is that a video creator of the digital age can learn from Donald Trump?
Donald Trump does not have a wide repertoire of words. He is able to use a simple, stripped-down vocabulary to communicate to a wide audience. Take an important part of his inaugural speech for instance.
He uses common place words that any layman can understand. Rarely does his speech contain a lot of words with more than two vowels.
The Boston Globe reviewed the language of all presidential candidates for the 2016 election using a common algorithm called the Flesch-Kincaid readability test that crunches word choice and sentence structure and spits out grade-level rankings. The results are striking. Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush speak at the level of 8th graders, while Bernie Sanders speaks at the level of a high school senior. In the case of Trump, he speaks at the level of a 4th grader, the lowest among all candidates. A simple language seems to resonate more with the audience. Who has time for long-form analysis in the era of 140 character tweets?
Trump, as billionaire investor Peter Thiel puts it “is a grandmaster salesman”, a persuasive individual. Trump understands people’s fantasies and likes to play with it. When he says he is worth 10 Billion dollars, the number does not matter, it may be factually incorrect, what matters is that when people think of Trump they think “He is a big businessman, with a huge empire of his own making”. He also had very little to offer in terms of policies he would implement as president, but he had a few effective lines that he made a point to repeat often, such as “Crooked Hillary” or “Make America Great Again”. Simple aphorisms he knew would appeal to the public more than policy details.
One of the things that might have helped him become a better persuader is the fact that he has a low attention span. As his biographer/ghost writer Tony Schwartz recounts .“It’s implicit in a lot of what people write, but it’s never explicit—or, at least, I haven’t seen it. And that is that it’s impossible to keep him focussed on any topic, other than his own self-aggrandizement, for more than a few minutes, and even then . . . ”. Trump rarely likes going deep into a topic, which means he had to develop a technique to still stay in the game and work for his own profit.
Trump may be the world’s first reality TV star. Long before there was reality TV and long before there were vlogs, there was Trump – who loved the attention and loved playing the media to give them what they want. In the late 80s, after gossip columns reported, erroneously, that Prince Charles was considering buying several apartments in Trump Tower, Trump implied that he had no idea where the rumour had started. (“It certainly didn’t hurt us,” he says, in “The Art of the Deal.”) Wayne Barrett, a reporter for the newspaper Village Voice, later revealed that Trump himself had planted the story with journalists. He understood how to manipulate the media.
In the case of Trump, what you see is what you get. There is no filter, no second version of Trump that is an evil genius at work. This may also be one of the prime reasons that the American people trust Trump with their country.
While these are techniques that you can develop to master the game, I have to say what everyone’s favourite superhero uncle once said “With great power, comes great responsibility”. | 2019-04-24T23:49:14 | https://blog.typito.com/youtuber-lessons-from-donald-trump/ |
New to PointsPlus? Think your your daily PointsPlus target (DPT) is too high? Well read this helpful post by NewbiePoster.
Welcome to Weight Watchers! There’s a lot to wrap your head around, but here are some general observations to help you get your mental approach down. Consider this one person’s opinion, for what it’s worth.
This is not “The Biggest Loser”.
If this is a race, it is a marathon.
It is not how fast you lose, but how long you keep at it.
Whether you believe it or not, the program works when you follow it.
You are not going to always see an immediate link between your efforts and your results, but over time you will.
Be honest with yourself about what effort you are putting into the program. If you are lying to yourself, you are wasting your time.
Accurate, honest tracking of what you eat is critical as you start. In fact, it’s critical throughout.
This is like horseshoes and hand grenades. If you consistently get close, you’ll win over time.
Assigned too Many PointsPlus per Day?
If you still think you have too many points, go through the exercise of figuring out how many PointsPlus a “normal” pre-WW day would have. Short version; you don’t get too many points.
For the official WW advice on eating your points, read tinyurl.com/WWonPoints.
Check goadies.org for acronyms and more.
Ask questions: ask for help when you struggle, and then do something with the feedback you get.
And yes, there are ladies posting on the Guys message boards just like there are guys posting on the Meeting Members or Maintenance message board. Don’t get your knickers in a twist; they’ve been doing this a while and they can help you as much as anybody else. Weight loss isn’t a gender-specific thing. | 2019-04-22T15:55:25 | http://goadies.org/newbies/ |

For business travelers, communications are essential. Those on the road need to stay connected and current at all times, which means users need a reliable, and secure Internet connection. However, with obstacles such as time zones, poor/limited Wi-fi connectivity, cultural issues, limited power, etc., staying connected while traveling can be a hard nut to crack. Luckily, the same dependency has also produced various techniques and strategies to maintain communications on the go. Here’s our guide for business travelers on how to stay connected with limited resources.
Most travel starts and ends with a flight, so it’s important that you’re equipped to maintain communication even while in transit. Though the FCC recently approved the initial proposal allowing passengers to make voice calls from their mobile phones during flights (this includes Wi-Fi calls), it’s not yet fully approved or in effect. Therefore, business travelers have to be savvy with other ways of communicating.
• Prepare Yourself for Airport Wi-Fi: Some airports charge for Wi-Fi and others are free. Additionally, different airports use different providers, too. As such, travelers would do well to research airport Wi-Fi usage charges and providers. A good reference is Air Fare Watch Dog’s Airport Wi-Fi Access Infographic, which details US and International Airports’ Wi-Fi hotspots including name, provider, and pricing.
• Select an Airline With Wi-Fi: Airlines all over the world are starting to rollout the availability of Wi-Fi while in-flight. As such, travelers need to BE SURE the selected airline offers Wi-Fi. According to a recent survey, Delta, Southwest, and US Airways have the most domestic flights with Wi-Fi; however, in terms of consistency, Virgin America and AirTrans are the ONLY airlines with 100% of their fleet Wi-Fi enabled. While these airlines are reputable, they may not be the names you’d think to be leading the Wi-Fi surge.
• Research & Book Your Seat To Account For Outlet Availability: With limited outlet availability, it would suit travelers well to research their flight, as well as their seat in advance. Services like SeatGuru and SeatExperts maps seats and shows what each seat offers, such as outlet availability.
Just because you’re leaving your office doesn’t mean you have to leave your business communications behind. There are tons of ways to stay connected to your business/team with or without an Internet connection.
• Stay Connected Without a Connection: The truth is you’re not always going to be with an Internet connection; however, you don’t necessarily have to be in order to stay connected with your team/business.
– Offline Mode Apps: Some applications have an offline mode, which enable use without an Internet connection. For example, you can use Google Maps’ Offline mode on your phone to navigate your way to/from meetings. As such, users without unlimited data (or a data plan altogether) or with a poor connection can utilize the service.
– Read Offline: Apps like Pocket and Instapaper allow users to save information directly from a browser or other apps like Twitter, Pulse, etc. In doing so, users can view content while they have a connection and save it to view later (without a connection)—enabling offline accessibility.
• Store Files in the Cloud: We all know the Cloud enables users to store and access key files and information from any able location; therefore, it’s really great for mobile users, and especially travelers. As such, there are a number or services and providers available that offer cloud backup services. Amazon Cloud Drive, Apple iCloud, Box, Dropbox, and Google Cloud are just a few of the many providers that offer free cloud storage services (up to a certain amount—i.e. 2GB-10GB). There are also paid services that allow for unlimited storage.
• Take Your Business Phone Number with You: Travelers would do well to investigate a phone service that supports call forwarding and/or call routing. Both these features enable users to set up his or her phone system to dial out to their mobile phone when the main number is being dialed. In doing so, customers call the same phone number, but can reach you even if you’re not in the office.
• Send Faxes Anywhere You Have an Internet Connection: Virtual Fax services enables users to compose, edit, send, and receive faxes from any Internet enabled device. As such, there are a number of mobile applications that enable users to do this directly from your phone. All you need to do is pick the service and application, download it on your phone, and integrate your contacts list.
• Sign & Scan Documents Electronically: Import, scan, sign, and receive any document digitally via your email on your smartphone regardless of your location. Again, all that’s necessary for you is that you download and install the appropriate mobile application on your phone, laptop, or tablet.
• Attend & Host Video Conferences via Mobile Device: Conduct and enter conferences anywhere, anytime via your laptop, tablet, and smartphone. Services and mobile applications like Skype and Google Hangouts can be downloaded directly to any of the aforementioned devices. As such, these services allow for users to video message regardless of their location. Your phone, laptop, and tablet all have built in cameras and microphones; therefore, all you’ll need is the application/service installed on your device. Additionally, you can choose to go through a provider and their application/service directly. For example, 8×8’s mobile app allows for Video Calling.
While Wi-Fi is a great way to stayed connected, what happens when you don’t have a suitable Internet connection? There are ways to prepare yourself to connect without relying on Wi-Fi.
• Use Ethernet to Create Your Own Wireless Network: Bypass the charge (and service) and use the hotel’s Ethernet, the wired connection, to create your own wireless network. Though it’s a bit technical, Wired.com outlines the process in detail. As such, all users really need is a wireless access point that doubles as a USB Ethernet adapter. From here, connect this to the unused networking cable and create your own Wi-Fi network and password.
• Use Your Smartphone As A Hotspot: Travelers can transform their mobile phones into portable Wi-Fi hotspots by tethering (or Internet sharing), which works as mini access points for laptops (and other devices) to access through the phone’s 3G/4G connection. To do this, enable your phone’s hotspot setting, configure wireless security with a password, and then connect your device with the network as you would any Wi-Fi network. In doing this, you’ll be able to share your Internet connection with all of your devices. NOTE: Not all phones are able to do this; however, popular models such as the iPhone, the Samsung Galaxy S3, and other support this.
• Go Through Your Existing Cable Provider: CableWifi is the joining of 5 major cable companies that allow their customers to access each other Wi-Fi hotspots (total over 200,000).
• Download a Signal Map Application: This app provides a map that shows users the closest cell towers nearby and directs them to the closest Wi-Fi hotspots. Some apps go beyond this. For example, Open Signal’s Android App, 3G/4G/WiFi Signal & Speed Maps provides coverage maps, a speed test feature, a signal booster, and much more.
• Exploit Dial Up As A Back-Up Plan: If you’re unable to find a suitable wireless Internet connection, a wired connection might be a good back up. Look into dial-up provider services and determine if their offerings are suitable for your needs. “I keep my old Aol.com subscription – maybe $6 a month- so once in a while, when Wi-Fi is bad or unavailable – especially at a tech conference hotel, I can simply unplug the phone and plug the cable into my laptop’s legacy modem input. And as nobody uses dial up anymore, I can get good high speeds of 53 kbps or so. Clean. Plenty fast enough for emailing. Most local calls are free so the service being a lot less expensive than using a hotel’s overpriced, unreliable and oversubscribed Wi-Fi network,” states Mark Shapiro at SRS Tech PR.
It’s essential for all your devices to to be fully powered on the road; therefore, travelers need to optimize battery life of their laptop, smartphone, & tablet best they can. While this sounds simple enough, constantly searching for Wi-Fi or using a Bluetooth connection can really drain one’s battery; however, this doesn’t mean there aren’t effective management techniques for your device.
• Eject All Discs From Your Laptop’s Disc Drive: Your laptop will burn battery by spinning discs in your drive so only use what you need when you need it.
• Connect External/Bluetooth Devices on a Need-Only Basis: Keep your mouse, webcam, headset, USB drive, etc, plugged in only during use.
• Only Run The Necessary Programs/Applications: When you stop using an app or service, make sure you quit it altogether. Just closing the window keeps the program/app running in the background. For example, the Spotify Application still searches for a connection when the window is closed out. You need to manage your background applications and/or quit programs/apps properly. The more apps, programs, and/or services your computer runs at once, the less battery you’ll have.
• Manage Wireless Connection Settings: Constantly searching for a signal to connect can decimate your battery life. Pick and choose your battles. If you can afford to disable wireless connections at any point, do it. Utilize offline modes of apps and service when you can, too.
• Engage/Enable Your Phone’s Airplane Mode: Cut Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and other location services when not needed.
• Turn Off All Mobile Notifications: Disable all data-push notifications from all your applications.
• Disable GPS & Location Setting: Turn off GPS and other services that connect to inform your device’s location.
• Bring An Extra Battery: Carrying an extra battery can be a bit hard depending on your device, but if you need the extra juice, this is a straightforward way of getting it.
• Buy An Extended Battery Case for Your Phone: There are a lot of cases that charge your phone’s battery while acting as a case. For example, Power-Skin makes cases for a variety of devices including Samsung’s Galaxy Phones, iPhones, Blackberries, Windows Phones, and more. Another option would be Mophie.
• Calibrate Your Battery Every 1-3 Months To Ensure Longest Life: Each and every charging cycle wears down your battery. You want to be sure your battery is able to hold the maximum charge for as long as it did when it was new. To do this, calibrate it—run the life down near zero (without it dying), then charge it back to full.
• Employ Battery Monitoring Applications: There are a variety of apps that breakdown the battery life by usage. For example, the Battery HD Android App breaks down battery usage by category and percentage. It also shows times of usage and informs users how many hours of functionality they have left for specific functions—i.e. watching video, web browsing (Wi-Fi, Edge, 3G, 4G), and more.
When traveling, you’re bound to run into some issues with Time Zones. The world’s a big place and with 24 standard time zones, it can be hard to effectively communicate while traveling.
• Set Time Zones Manually On Your Digital Calendars: Be sure that when you’re saving events or appointments on a digital calendar the time zone is correct. 5pm Eastern Time is NOT 5pm Pacific Time.
• Utilize Time Zone Converter Web Services & Apps: Convert your current time to any other locations by using a web powered converter or a smartphone application. There are tons of websites that do this on different levels. For example, sites like Time Zone Converter offer basic and quick conversions; sites like Time & Date offer much more detail (location, month, day, year, hour, minutes, etc.
• Reference the World Time Zone Map: This map color-codes every region in the world according to their time zone. As such, users get an easily digestible glance at the world at large. Those looking for more general times would do well to use this.
Communications and connectivity go hand in hand, especially for business travelers. Though there are a number of challenges and obstacles to face, there are just as many solutions. While some may seem more obvious than others, travelers can choose to connect and communicate according to their own preferences and abilities; however, when there is some problem, it’s nice to have options and alternatives. | 2019-04-23T14:05:59 | https://getvoip.com/blog/2014/01/20/business-travelers-guide/ |

Please email [email protected], call 541-737-7568 or go to Kerr Administration room 236 for assistance.
Mandatory insurance provided by PacificSource.
The Graduate Employee Health Plan through PacificSource includes coverage for medical, dental, and vision services.
Graduate Fellows are required to either enroll in the PacificSource Health Plan or waive out with comparable coverage.
Oregon State University contributes 89% of the premium for the fellow and dependent coverage, plus 50% of the administration fee. The remaining 11% of the premium for the fellow and dependent coverage and 50% of the administration fee is charged to the OSU business account monthly. This portion is to be paid by the fellow, unless their specific funding covers their insurance expenses.
Premiums will be charged to your OSU business account at the end of each month that you have coverage.
Graduate Fellows are financially responsible for prompt payment of these expenses.
When will my insurance be effective?
Your insurance begin date is dependent on your fellowship start date.
1st – 15th of the month: coverage starts the 1st of the same month.
16th – last day of the month: coverage starts the 1st of the following month.

New enrollments or waivers are due any time you return from a break in your fellowship.
Can I enroll family members in this coverage?
Qualifying life events include: birth, marriage, permanent move to U.S., adoption, or involuntary loss of other group coverage.
Once enrolled, you may only remove your dependents from your plan during fall term open enrollment, or when a qualifying life event occurs. A qualifying event in this case could be: divorce/separation, dependent gains other health coverage, or dependent moves outside the U.S.

How is PacificSource billed for my services at SHS?
The OSU Student Health Billing Office will submit claims to the insurance company for services rendered at the Student Health Center on-campus. The billing process may take 4-6 weeks before the insurance responds with an explanation of payment.

Chicken Soup - Let the Baking Begin!
In my family we eat one pot of soup at least every week and sometimes we don’t mind having it for dinner – that’s partially why I make them thick, with lots of veggies and not that much broth. I try to change up the ingredients to make it a little more fun, but no pot of soup is any good if it doesn’t have any potatoes and beans, well at least we think so.
I’m sure that you all know how to make soup, but for those that don’t, here’s how I make mine.
Chicken Noodle Soup – A classic chicken noodle soup made in the slow cooker.
Chicken & Dumplings – Creamy chicken soup with dumplings.
Hearty Zuppa Toscana – The best copycat recipe.
Place chicken meat in a large pot. Fill the pot to 3/4 full with water, place on a stove and turn to medium high heat and cook for about 40 minutes until the chicken is tender. With a slotted spoon continuously skim the water from impurities. While it's cooking work on the rest of the vegetables.
In a skillet, over high heat, saute the onions in 3-4 tablespoons oil, constantly mixing with a spoon until golden in color. Add the carrots, bell pepper and saute for another 3-4 minutes. Add a ladle of broth from the pot with the chicken into the skillet, quickly cover with the lid and let the vegetables cook on low for about 7-8 minutes.
In a separate pot, bring about 2 qts of water to boil. Drop the noodles and cook until al dante. Drain and rinse with warm water.
Once the chicken is almost ready, drop the cubed potatoes and let them cook until soft, but not falling apart, about 10 minutes.
When the potatoes are cooked, take out the meat into a separate dish and shred it into small pieces using mixer with a paddle attachment, or two forks.
Transfer the vegetables from the skillet into the pot, add canned beans, mushrooms, shredded chicken, noodles, salt, pepper (to taste) and garlic. Let the soup come to boil.
Turn heat off. Add chopped parsley. Serve with a dollop of sour cream.
Soup is even better about an hour or two after cooking.
This soup sounds so good! Does it reheat well? Ad in noodles don’t swell up and take up the water?
Yes it reheats awesome! Any time you have a soup with noodles they will absorb additional water after cooking, so I tend to undercook the noodles a bit before adding them to the soup, that way they won’t be mushy once they absorb that additional liquid. | 2019-04-22T18:13:24 | https://letthebakingbegin.com/chicken-soup/ |

Peter had walked a few steps on water, towards Jesus, before he began to sink. He started off courageous, he started off believing, he started off with a goal in mind. But after a while, he began to sink; he saw the wind and began to sink. Does this mean the wind wasn't blowing before he started walking on water?
No! In fact, if you go back to read from verse 22, you'd see that the wind had already been blowing. What could possibly cause a man who started off strong to sink?
As Christians, why is our faith shaken at the first sight of "wind"? The world isn't an all jolly place; it is filled with many troubles. Jesus himself told us what to expect in John 16:33. There will be troubles, there will be trials, there will be moments when we are pushed to the wall. The Bible has never sugar coated the struggles we will face as believers but we have been reassured countless times of the victory we already have in Christ. Is this enough to keep us prepared?
The moment we take our eyes off Jesus, we become conscious of our nakedness, we become aware of the raging storms around us, we become vulnerable to fear. And then we begin to sink- Peter didn't begin to sink until he paid attention to the wind. Our troubles may seem big but we need to keep our eyes on something bigger, something that cannot be moved; an anchor that cannot be broken- We need to keep our eyes on God.
Our worries are nothing compared to the hope we have in Christ. Our brokenness is temporary and the world is temporary. There's an ultimate prize, a beautiful end and an everlasting victory.
"When you feel like you're at the end of your ROPE, you're not at the end of your HOPE"
Action words: Challenge yourself this week to fix your eyes on Christ no matter what the weather brings. | 2019-04-23T14:22:00 | https://www.moyosmiles.com/2015/09/devotional-fix-your-eyes-on-jesus.html |

Are donations received from various individuals taxable?
I do voluntary work in poor communities after quitting my job a few years ago. Various people knows this and are paying money into my account as donations. Is this money taxable in my hands?
The amounts varies between R20,000 - R30,000 p.m. I do not know all of my supporters as a lot of them stays anonymous and just put 'donation' on the bank reference.
Most of the amounts are paid to me this way on a month-to-month basis and the biggest amount is R6,000 p.m. I am not offering a service to any one of the people supporting me and only work with the poor and disadvantaged.
This entry was posted in Tax Q&A and tagged Salary / IRP5, Donations, Audit / Verification, SARS & eFiling. Bookmark the permalink.
Can you tell me more about the work you do, how do you go out and find the work or do the communities come to you when they need you? The supporters are they members of these communities or others who have heard of the good work you do?
There are lots of communities with needs. Sometimes it is to train people to get jobs, helping with relationships, drug rehabilitation, skill training, HIV / Aids etc. To do this kind of work you just have to walk into one of these communities and you will be able to make a difference if you are willing (no special skill needed). Sometimes there will be community centers already setup who needs volunteers.
The people donating / supporting are completely unrelated to me or the communities where I work.
Given you answer, SARS most likely will accept that you are not earning remuneration/income and actually receiving donations instead. There is a section on the tax return where you fill in your donations amount which aren't subject to tax and you would include this there. If you are audited however you may need to prove that you are not performing the same work for the same community on a recurring basis. It is also very important that you are not paid by anyone you are performing tasks for and that the they are not connected to the person who you are doing the charitable work for. In a sense you are being given money to do good things! | 2019-04-18T18:49:34 | https://www.taxtim.com/za/answers/are-donations-received-from-various-individuals-taxable |
Apparently in the early 1900s Kenya was a hotbed of debauchery. People could go to Kenya and start new lives, be out and proud, and eventually the past would catch up to them, and then they would have to murder someone.
Heat of the Sun is a fun and interesting BBC crime drama. Kenya is a beautiful setting, and seeing a glimpse of life there during the 1930s was so interesting.
I found Supt. Albert Tyburn, played by Trevor Eve, to be charming and intelligent. Both my husband and I enjoyed watching him unravel the crime, find a way to keep his moral code, and follow the orders of his superior.
I love BBC! I’m addicted. | 2019-04-20T01:09:58 | http://alicamckennajohnson.com/2013/04/debauchery-in-kenya/?share=google-plus-1 |

There's no need for a full review of the new Google Play Edition of LG's G Pad 8.3 - you're familiar with the software thanks to LG's own Nexus 5 and other AOSP devices, and you can check out Cameron Summerson's review of the retail version of the G Pad 8.3 for a look at the hardware. Aside from the "V510" badge on the tablet's legal tiny type, this is the same device, and there's not so much as a Google logo to tell the two apart.
The Galaxy S III, announced at a highly anticipated event last week, immediately impressed me with its advanced software. Samsung has stuffed the SGS III with so many features that my mind explodes every time I try to remember all of them - and what you saw during the unveiling is only half the story. There's more, a lot more, which is why the S III is going to be the most interesting Android phone to play with and review this year.
While Big Red may not be getting an HTC One series device just yet, the finally official Incredible 4G is actually very close. Announced yesterday just in time for CTIA, the Incredible 4G, along with most of its specs, was leaked by Android Police back in early April and briefly showed up two weeks later at DroidDoes.com. Yesterday, Verizon threw together a nice unofficial shindig for the press where we could finally check out the Incredible 4G in person. | 2019-04-18T18:21:39 | https://www.androidpolice.com/tags/quick-look/ |
Aside from the traditional usage, the term empire can be used in an extended sense to denote a large-scale business enterprise (e.g. a transnational corporation), or a political organisation of either national-, regional- or city scale, controlled either by a person (a political boss) or a group authority (political bosses).
An imperial political structure is established and maintained in two ways: (i) as a territorial empire of direct conquest and control with force (direct, physical action to compel the emperor's goals), and (ii) as a coercive, hegemonic empire of indirect conquest and control with power (the perception that the emperor can physically enforce his desired goals). The former provides greater tribute and direct political control, yet limits further expansion because it absorbs military forces to fixed garrisons. The latter provides less tribute and indirect control, but avails military forces for further expansion. Territorial empires (e.g. the Mongol Empire, the Median Empire) tended to be contiguous areas. The term on occasion has been applied to maritime empires or thalassocracies, (e.g. the Athenian and British Empires) with looser structures and more scattered territories. | 2019-04-20T12:43:24 | http://www.primidi.com/empire |

Vyacheslav Ruksha, Director General of FSUE Atomflot, has revealed that the first consignment of Taimyr coal to be produced by VostokUgol will be despatched on 15 June 2017.
This will be shipped via a 45,000dwt vessel from the specialist coal terminal on the Taimyr peninsula specifically built to handle such flows.
Speaking at the VI International Forum “Arctic: the Present and the Future”, Mr Ruksha stated that, in future, annual shipments from the coal terminal could amount to between 20 million and 30 million tonnes.
The high quality anthracite is being mined by the Arctic Mining Company, which is managed by VostokUgol. Both a railway link from the mine and a dedicated port are being constructed by the company specifically with coal consignments in mind.

Assures reporters will not be blocked from covering Asean summit in Vientiane.
Laos yesterday defended its latest regulations imposed on foreign journalists, saying it would not prevent foreign media from covering the 2016 Asean due to be hosted in Vientiane.
“We don’t have restrictions but procedures, the procedures that other countries also have to ensure national security,” said Laos’ Information, Culture and Tourism Vice Minister and Lao Journalists Association (LJA) president Savankhone Razmountry.
The new rules came into effect in January 14 and require foreign media to submit its coverage to the Lao government for screening before publishing, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Thailand.
However, foreign journalists who cover the Asean Summit in November will not have to do so, said Vorasack Pravongviengkham, deputy director general of Lao National Radio (LNR).
“Only those who come to film or cover documentaries are required [to submit their coverage],” said Vorasack. To cover Asean Summits in Lao, foreign journalists are expected to go through government procedures and be escorted by its officers, according to Savankhone.
Visiting journalists have to declare lists of questions and topics for their coverage to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Lao PDR, he said.
The country has a mechanism to deal with visiting journalists, including state agencies, the Press Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, embassies and also the LJA, he said, without mentioning how it operates.
“There will not be any problems for the foreign media to cover this news in Lao,” stressed Savankhone.
He was speaking at a seminar entitled “Laos as host of Asean” hosted by the Thai Journalists Association (TJA). LJA has been visiting Thailand to strengthen ties between Thai and Lao journalists and create better understanding among each other to ensure smooth cooperation in Asean.
Meanwhile, Vorasack said that Lao media usually takes time to ensure news accuracy before publishing. It does not attempt to conceal facts, he said, referring to two cases in March when Chinese tourists were ambushed, leaving nine injured and one dead. TJA and LJA have for decades had close ties – but there were certain different points of view, said TAJ president Wanchai Wongmeechai, and it was important to learn from each other.
During the seminar, TJA adviser and senior correspondent Kavi Chongkittavorn pointed out the challenges that Laos would face when holding an Asean summit. He said ‘big brothers’ – the United States and China – also had ambitions to play an important role in the Asean community.
Kavi emphasised Laos success as the host of Asean. It was shown in its courage to help ease international issues such as those of the Korean Peninsula, the South China Sea conflict, and its sincerity in following the Asean charter. | 2019-04-26T08:35:22 | http://www.nationmultimedia.com/national/Laos-defends-curbs-foreign-media-30283442.html |
"How can we get more volunteers on the sound team?"
It's a question that gets asked all the time in church tech circles.
But having "more volunteers" doesn't really solve anything. In fact, it can make matters worse.
"How do we grow our tech team with the right people and get great sound?"
There are some important steps you can follow to do it right, and there are four key things you need in order to get consistent technical results every week.
The first crucial thing is to get the right people involved.
Having the wrong person in the wrong position of service is never a good idea.
So, how can we do a better job getting more of the right volunteers on our sound team and helping them do their best to deliver great sound?
This often has to do with our approach to "recruiting" volunteers.
It is entirely possible that a tech team cannot grow simply because of the way would-be volunteers perceive the sound team or leadership.
Do volunteers feel openly invited? Is there a space for them? Are there growth opportunities? What are the commitment requirements? Are they expected to serve every single week? What kind of support can they depend on?
Because of this, it's important to take a close look at how serving opportunities are presented to potential volunteers.
There are plenty of stereotypes about the average sound engineer.
Instead, try looking for people who show an interest in music, the arts, or production.
Musical expertise is not required though.
In fact, a lot of church sound techs are not musicians. They just love listening to music, or enjoy being part of a production team.
Many great sound techs can tend to be "behind the scenes" kinds of people, so they don't always go out of their way to be in the limelight. Sometimes a simple invitation to help out is all it takes to get your next volunteer engaged and excited about joining the team.
Remember, the primary requirement for any ministry volunteer is a servant’s heart and a desire to learn.
The next important consideration is how you prepare and empower your new volunteers to achieve the great sound you and your congregation deserve every week.
We all know that putting a new volunteer behind the mixing console and saying “good luck!” doesn’t really help.
Unfortunately, that exact scenario occurs far too often – even when we don’t mean for it to happen.
It’s important to establish a clear process that your tech team members can follow when they join a team.
What type of training will they receive? Are there any formal benchmarks or technical requirements they need to know about? How many training sessions do they have before mixing on their own?
Training new tech team members doesn't need to be an academic affair, but you do need to provide the right balance of hands-on practice with a dose of helpful live sound concepts.
This approach allows the new team member to grasp the big picture and and know the "why" behind what they are doing, as well as developing the skills of building a mix and working with the worship team.
Defining expectations and providing opportunities to grow and learn will go a long way in preparing your sound techs for success.
We've briefly covered three of the four critical needs that affect just about every church tech team.
This is such an important topic that I created a free email course to help address all of this in a lot more detail.
If you don't currently have a sound team or depend on just one person every single weekend, you definitely need this.
If you have a sound team, but can't seem to get everyone on the same page, you absolutely need this.
And if you're just getting started with sound or volunteering on a tech team, this will be the perfect introduction to church sound and team building.
This free email course is perfect for pastors, worship leaders, team leaders, and even new volunteers.
You’ll receive about 8 emails over the next week or two with helpful information, supporting documentation and guides, and some cheat sheets that will get your team started in the right direction.
Simply sign up below for this free email course and get the first email packed with some great info in just a couple minutes, including "6 new ideas for growing your tech team." | 2019-04-24T20:08:38 | https://www.greatchurchsound.com/great-church-sound-blog/how-to-get-more-church-sound-volunteers |

An outcast boy traps his classmates in their school's auditorium and then opens fire, methodically settling scores with his tormentors. Told in alternating viewpoints by four of his classmates (but crucially, not from the shooter's viewpoint), the story briskly covers forty or so minutes of terror and mayhem. Each of the narrators have ample opportunity to reflect on what they know about the shooter and his victims.
Despite the dramatic potential of the story, there isn't much of a tale to tell. People ruminate and tremble with fear, while others die. And with a large cast of characters, it was hard to get overly attached so the casualties are mostly just a body count.I never felt invested in anyone, although I remained curious about who would live and who would die.
I am stuck on the question of what it is all for? It's a lively adventure, but what is the appeal? There's certainly not much of an exploration of what drives a person to commit such an act. And none of the characters seem to have grown from the experience. | 2019-04-24T04:07:54 | http://blog.goldschp.net/2016/05/this-is-where-it-ends-by-marieke-nijkamp.html |
Following recent upgrades in other markets, Comcast announced this week that it has boosted the speed of three broadband tiers in Portland, Salt Lake City, Seattle, Denver and Colorado Springs.
With the upgrade (hat tip: DSL Reports), Comcast’s “Performance” tier doubles to 50 Mbps (downstream), “Blast” jumps from 50 Mbps to 105 Mbps, and “Extreme” leaps from 105 Mbps to 150 Mbps.
Comcast said the speed bumps come at no added cost to customers who lease their modems from the MSO, and that it will notify customers who might need to upgrade their CPE in order to get the faster speeds. | 2019-04-24T06:00:21 | https://www.broadcastingcable.com/news/comcast-speed-upgrades-hit-more-markets-136487 |

I've been dancing since I was 5 years old. I remember when my Mom took me to Ballet Class in Brooklyn, NY, I was so excited, I could barely contain myself. After I moved to Puerto Rico at the age of 9, I never went back to ballet, not because I didn't want to, but there was always some sort of obstacle that got in the way. I started getting involved with sports instead and forgot all about dancing until I got to High School, where I became Co-captain of the Cheer Squad and started the dance team. I kept choreographing in college and performing here and there, but never anything serious. About 4 years ago, I got the itch again and I formed the dance team in Puerto Rico for the Young Women's Division for the Soka Gakkai Intl., Buddhist Organization. We performed in every chance we had and it felt wonderful!
Flash forward to today, I'm 31 years old and I haven't stopped moving. I formed the dance team for the SGI YWD in San Antonio, TX, my new home. I've realized that dancing doesn't only make me happy, but it's a vehicle for joy for others as well. I get other young women to dance and feel good about themselves and we make our audience happy. We're not professional dancers, any of us, but the energy, the fun we have and the desire to make people get up from their seats and move, has given me more joy than I could ever imagine. My mission is to create a world of peace through the power of movement. I will never stop dancing!
"Live with a dancing spirit. The stars in the heavens are dancing through space, the Earth never ceases to spin. All life is dancing: the trees with the wind, the waves on the sea, the birds, the fish, all are performing their own dance of life. Every living thing is dancing, and you must keep dancing too, for the rest of your life!" | 2019-04-24T20:57:55 | http://www.thefashionlotus.com/2014/02/just-keep-dancing.html |

THAT L.A. IT GIRL: Ark Beauty - Britain's Newest Skincare Line!
Ark Beauty - Britain's Newest Skincare Line!
Hey there blog, long time no see! For those of you who are wondering what happened to me during this summer... Life happened to me. First off one of my friends had to get married, so I was not technically a bridesmaid, but I was kind of forced into helping out? I guess you would say... Anyway, so long story short, there were a lot of issues, and I got a job. So that basically summed up why I was away from my blog for so long. Today, I'm going to be reviewing a new brand called Ark Beauty. Now for those of you who are like, what's Ark Beauty? Ark Beauty is a skincare company that's made in Britain, and seriously you guys, I'm in love with their masque.
For those of you who are curious as to what this smells like, I would have to say that it just smells natural. And when I first applied this masque on my face, I was like omg, this feels like vaseline, but surprisingly enough even though it felt like vaseline on my face, when it washed away, there was no sticky feeling.
This moisturizer has the same type of smell. It just smells natural. When I first got in this moisturizer, I was like how do I use this thing? And seriously guys, I thought I was suppose to pull the rubber thing on the top off, but no, all you do is put your hand on top of this container, and push down, and the moisturizer just dispenses out.
For those of you who are wondering where you can purchase Ark Beauty here is a link! I would have to give the products 5 stars, because not only does it make my skin feel amazing, I can see an improvement on how my skin is now compared to before. Honestly, my dark circles are almost gone, and my skin feels tighter! What would you guys like to try from Ark Beauty? | 2019-04-19T22:57:53 | https://www.thatlaitgirl.com/2016/08/ark-beauty-britains-newest-skincare-line.html |
