Xtreme Cartoon WrestlingEdit
Television Champion (2012)Edit
On the first week of January, Tai competed in the first match in XCW: a 4-way ladder match for the vacant Television Championship, including Spike Spiegel of Cowboy Bebop fame, Arthur Read, and Luigi. Kamiya became the inaugural champion after beating Arthur to the title. The following week, he along with Sora defeated Hotsuma and Lee Kanker for XCW's entry to the Supershow hosted by the Cartoon Wrestling Federation (CWF). By the end of the month at Whiplash, XCW's first pay-per-view, Tai successfully defended the title against Luigi.
The following month, his friend Bugs Bunny wanted a rematch against Mario for the World title at Doomsday in a steel cage match. The XCW Commissioner Space Ghost wanted to give Bugs a test to earn that shot by defeating Garfield. Later, in the main event, the match was well in hand with Garfield, especially since the referee was knocked down. He was free to put the Cathug (Bearhug) on Bugs with no one to interfere. But then, Tai rescued Bugs with a couple of chair shots and a flying kick. The referee woke up and saw Bugs pinning Garfield making the 3-count. The following week, Garfield and his manager John Arbuckle warned Tai for "sticking his nose where it doesn't belong" and took it out on the XCW locker room. Tai was scheduled to defend the Television Championship against Luigi in a Whiplash rematch main event, but Garfield beat Tai to a pulp from the locker room to the ring, while Luigi picked up an easy victory and the title. After that, Garfield put Kamiya through the mat with a chokeslam.
Feud with Garfield and World Heavyweight Championship Pursuit (2012)Edit
Garfield and Jon Arbuckle issued a match to Tai at XCW Doomsday while verbally insulting his wife Sora. At the pay-per-view, Kamiya put a valiant effort, even scoop slammed a seven-foot-three, 425-pound monster of a cat. After landing the Tai Dive, he could have won if it weren't for Arbuckle's interference. Kamiya lost by pinfall after a Chokeslam.
At week 2 of March, Tai returned for a chance to qualify at the March Majesty tournament after defeating Arthur Read via his new Crossface submission hold. He advanced to semi-finals by making Solid Snake from the Metal Gear video games tap out in week 4. At the March Majesty pay-per-view, he hit the Tai Dive onto Spike Spiegel and moved on towards the finals, which will be later against Tommy Vercetti from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. That was a fierce battle between two of the hottest rising stars of XCW with two different fighting styles. Tommy got hit with a Tai Dive, but managed to kick out. Kamiya got crowned by the Vercetti Driver, but thanks to that undying will, kicked out before the three. Vercetti tried again, but Kamiya countered into the Crossface for the submission victory, which won the tournament, became the first-ever Majesty of March, and earn a shot at XCW World Heavyweight Championship an Endgame against Garfield who "won" in a triple threat match main event, who defeated Bugs Bunny and the former champion, Mario.
The beginning of next month, John Arbuckle, who was the interim commissioner at that time, coordinated a celebration for Garfield winning the championship, becoming the new "face" of the company, and told that Garfield was "destined" to regain the title against Tai at Endgame. Tai and Sora interrupted the celebration and scolded Arbuckle to use their own exclusive story, "Destined" to make money. Garfield scolded back for insulting Jon by destroying Tai not only physically, but emotionally as well before the pay-per-view. The following week, Arbuckle assaulted Sora after her Gauntlet match with help from his newest acquisition, the new Hardcore Champion, Odie. After consulting her, Tai rushed into the ring after the main event, and brought the pain to Garfield and Odie with a steel chair, threatening them and Arbuckle that they bought the Extreme Team founder back to life and to insured to not only to defeat Garfield, but to making sure that Arbuckle and company never walk this halls again.
The following week, Tai was to compete in a handicapped match against Garfield and Odie in the main event. But Tommy Vercetti wanted a piece of them by becoming his tag team partner. At the main event, the interim commissioner stripped Vercetti the Hardcore title after what had transpired from Odie, and also announced that the World Heavyweight Championship match between Kamiya and Garfield would be no-disqualification. The main event, however, turned into a no contest as Kamiya and Vercetti struck both Arbuckle and Garfield. The number-one contender even managed locked in the Crossface to both of them as payback for what they did to Sora. At the go-home show before Endgame, Arbuckle wanted to damage Tai physically and emotionally one more time by sending out Claude Speed of the Grand Theft Auto video game in a hardcore match while putting up Speed's Toon WWE Hardcore Championship on the line. It's a back and forth hard fought contest, and Kamiya had the upper hand in the end. He was about to end this with a Tai Dive, but Garfield's music distracted him, given Claude a diving back drop right through a table and retained the title. Then the World Champion and interim commissioner entered the ring, and the two combatants gave some last words before the pay-per-view. Tai, along with Sora, came to compete at the AWF Christmas Supershow against Masaru Daimon . After he won, Garfield walked toward the ring and Chokeslammed both the number-one contender and his wife.
World Heavyweight Champion and Various Feuds (2012-present)Edit
At the end of April, at the XCW Endgame main event, Tai went one-on-one against Garfield for the World title in a no-disqualification match. They have fought at ringside, through the audience, on the stage, and back to the ring. Kamiya was the first person to fought out of the Cathug. Odie tried to assist Garfield by bringing him a steel chair, but the champion responded by giving him a Chokeslam on the exposed concrete. Jon Arbuckle tried to distract Kamiya, but got dropkicked instead. One Tai Dive later, he pinned the monster and became the new World Heavyweight Champion.
On the first week of May, Tai along with Sora said that he will defend the title like a fighting champion and set an standard of excellence since XCW has not seen since its inception. He also told the audience that World Champions in other companies at that time have a reputation as a bad guy. However, his first challenger, Mario, insinuate that he is a good guy and explained about his hiatus after losing the World title at March Majesty. Then the interim commissioner told that due to "unfortunate events" that occurred at Endgame, Mario's number-one contendership would be on the line that night against the former World Champion Garfield, and he put a less than 100 percent Sora against himself, where if Tai interferes in that match, not only he would be striped of the World title, but be fired from XCW. When it all said and done, Sora defeated Arbuckle during Space Ghost's shocking return as commissioner, and Mario retain his contendership with unknown assistance from Tommy Vercetti. At the Nightfire main event, Tai and Mario fought of the title and Kamiya retains via submission.
At the first week of June, Space Ghost announced that XCW will host a summer Supershow. Tai along with new Women's Champion Sora competed against Mario and Princess Peach and won after a Tai Dive/Shooting Star Press simultaneously on respective opponents. The celebration was short-lived when Garfield stepped into the ring and Chokeslam them both and raising the World title belt, making it clear that the monster still have unfinished business with Kamiya. The next week, Space Ghost announced that Tai and Sora will be in one of the main events in the Supershow by having an intergender tag team match against Ben and Gwen Tennyson of CCW. The commissioner later told both Tai and Garfield to pick a superstar in the back to compete in a "Pick Your Posion" match where the winner will choose the stipulation in the Heatwave pay-view-view main event for the World title. Hotsuma stepped in as Garfield's pick while Kamiya chose Bugs Bunny. At the main event, after an unseen blow of his spiked knuckles followed by the Akujiki, Hotsuma emerged victorious, in which Garfield make the main event at Heatwave a Last Man Standing match.
The following week at the XCW Summer Supershow main event, Tai and Sora fought against Ben and Gwen. After a war of words towards their opponents at the during the beginning of the show, it was a back-and-forth, very competitive fight between two of the most iconic units in fiction wrestling. Ben and Gwen tried anything to steal the win, but in the end, Sora kept Gwen away with a Shooting Star Press to the ringside floor, while Tai locked Ben in the Crossface for a submission victory. The following week, Kamiya competed in a six-man tag team match with Ed and Edd of D-Generation-Ed against Spongebob Squarepants, Hotsuma, and Mario. The match ended in chaos and Garfield made his final statement to his rival by Chokeslamming him through two tables on the ringside floor.
There were some major health concerns about Tai's right knee since his Throw in the Towel match against Davis Motomiya at WrestleMania, but he continued to participate at the Heatwave pay-per-view. The Last Man Standing match was an absolute war as Kamiya went through a barbed-wire board and slammed through an announcer's table, while Garfield got his head smashed by a fluorescent light bulb and a top-rope German suplex which imploded the left side of the ring. In the end, it was one unbelievable Brainbuster through the stage that Tai became the last man standing, ended the rivalry, and complete his resurrection.
The following month, XCW had ushered in a new era. In which, the main event of Massacre featured Tai going one-on-one with Bugs Bunny for the World Heavyweight title. It was a classic match between two of the most respected men in the business when all of the sudden, he was attacked by Hotsuma, Solid Snake, Needles "Sweet Tooth" Kane, Scorpion, and Sub-Zero. Bugs and other personal around the ring was also attacked, but it was Kamiya who received the worst of the attack and carried out on a stretcher. The following week, the five men later referred to itself as the Knighthood of Assassins, who assaulted Rolf of D-Generation Ed which Snake became Hardcore Champion and the South Park Four. Scorpion and Sub-Zero issued a challenge for the Tag Team Championship while their leader, Hotsuma, want Tai's World title at the Sliver Lining PPV. XCW Commissioner Space Ghost was about to fire them, until Kamiya stopped him and accepted Hotsuma's challenge to end their rule of XCW before it begins. He fought against Sweet Tooth, but due to his injured right knee, he lost via a Chokeslam. The Knighthood was about to mug him just like last week, but was rescued by the South Park Four and Bugs Bunny.
On the go-home show before Sliver Lining, Hotsuma acquired Daffy Duck as the Knighthood Strategist after the latter betrayed Bugs the previous week, and to be in his corner in the World Title match. Tai came in and countered to have Bugs in his corner. In the main event, Kamiya competed in a six-man tag match with Stan Marsh and Eric Cartman against Hotsuma, Daffy and Scorpion. Tai's team got the victory after a Tai Dive to Scorpion. At the Sliver Lining PPV, Hotsuma did everything to cripple Tai by targeting his injured knee while with some assist from Daffy. However, with determination and heart, Kamiya fought back while Bugs kept Daffy at bay, and scored and victory by a small package. He earned a month-long break, but not after he got a post-match Akujiki courtesy of Hotsuma and a Killswitch from Daffy to Bugs on the championship.

A Saudi man divorced his wife hours after they were married, because she was apparently too busy replying to congratulatory messages from friends to consummate the marriage.
The groom reportedly became enraged when the couple returned to their hotel after the wedding in Jeddah – but his wife refused to stop sending texts and come to bed.
A relative disclosed that following the marriage ceremony, the groom had taken his bride to the hotel where they had booked a room.
However, as soon as the bride was in the room, she "kept using her mobile". Her groom reportedly tried to get closer with her and "become more intimate", the relative told Gulf News, but was "shocked when she ignored him" and didn't respond.
"When he asked her about the reasons, she answered she was busy communicating with her friends who were congratulating her on her marriage on the mobile," the source said. "The groom asked her to delay the messages, but she refused and became angry.
"When he asked her if her friends were more important than he was, the bride answered that they were."
In the heated argument that followed, the groom reportedly told his new wife he was divorcing her and left the hotel.
The relative said a divorce case had been filed and when the court referred the case to a reconciliation committee, the groom refused to forgive his wife and withdraw the case.
A Saudi legal expert who spoke to Al Watan warned of rapidly rising divorce rates among newly married couples, which have risen to almost 50%.
"Misunderstandings, differences in views and the easy approach to marriage without a deep appreciation of the responsibilities are among the major causes for divorce among young people," Ahmad Al Maabi told the newspaper.
"Marriages are bound to fail when there are no robust foundations or trust."

Types of Premiums
Premiums for life insurance coverage are classified under five types. These are: single premium life, term life, whole life, universal life and variable premium life insurance.
- Single Premium Life. Under this classification, the insured individual is required to give a one-time payment of the premium fees before he can be awarded a life insurance plan that is fully paid. This is easy when it comes to term life insurance policies particularly those that are renewable on yearly basis. However with long-term policies, insurance companies usually accept annual payments from the insured person until the end of the insurance term. Nonetheless this does not limit people from making a single payment for the entire term if they can afford the whole premium amount.
- Term Life Premium. This allows the insurance company to award the face amount of the insurance if the insured person dies before the end of the insurance term. Payment of these premiums may take place in one to 30 years depending on the stipulated duration in the contract.
- Whole Life Premiums. These are usually higher and have a coverage of up to year 100, which is equivalent to the full longevity of a person. Insurance companies commonly utilize premiums for whole life insurance in other investments, particularly stock market.
- Universal Life Premiums. They are similar to whole life however investment of the money is placed on money market.
- Variable Life Premiums. These are another form of whole life premium insurance. They differ only in the aspect where the company provides you with the option on where you want a portion of your money to be invested. Click here to learn about return of premium life insurance policies.
Ranking of Insurance Companies Based on Premiums
Top life insurance companies are ranked according to their direct premiums that refer to the gross premiums paid to insurance companies for coverage, which are not surrendered for reinsurance purposes.
The following are top 10 premium life insurance with their respective premium rankings.
- American International Group Inc. This group has direct premiums of $30,432.50 and market share of 18.08%. American International Group Inc. is based in New York City, New York.
- Metropolitan Life Insurance has a share of direct premiums amounting to $12,711.71 with 7.77% share in the insurance market. MLI maintains its main operation in Madison Square, New York.
- The Hartford Financial Services Group Inc has $8,376.41 direct premium shares and 4.98% market share. Its main company serves clients at Hartford Plaza in Connecticut.

It must be noted that the ranking enumerated here may vary from time to time. Also, these companies are mostly based in the United States with few of them exclusively operating only in several states. Although insurance companies normally expand their business outside the country, not all of them are able to meet the requirements set for global operations. Of course, Prudential Life, which is fifth among the insurance companies in the list of top 10 premium life insurance companies, has been in the industry for many years and has established its mark outside US. On the other hand, Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Co. offers service basically within the US territory although it does have some subsidiaries in other areas.

This is the third installment of this week's Holiday Gift Guide with "Maya approved" toys for your little ones. [Check out my other gift guides for 0 - 18 months and 18 months - 3 years.]
3 - 4 years old is the stage that we are currently in with our daughter, and I have to say, it is the most FUN thus far! The thing I love about this age is that there is so much creative and imaginary play. My daughter will often play with her toys and create funny dialogues, which are so interesting to hear. Vocabulary and speaking is much better than it was in the last stage - now you can actually understand what they are talking about! Children at this stage will definitely be in preschool, and will be learning to share and socialize. They also like to help others. A major thing I noticed about this age is that my daughter's drawings have become less like scribbles and more like actual figures. During this age they will also start the very beginnings of learning how to write their name, and identify letters.
Check out my full list with links below!
*Note that this list is gender neutral*
1. One of my friends gifted us this cool lacing game and I was amazed at how easily Maya did it - it looked quite hard to do but she was so ready for it! It is so colorful and the laces are really long, so they easily go through all the holes. It comes with several boards so you can easily pop one in your purse, the car, and they are also great for the airplane.
2. Maybe it's because we have a retail store, but one of my daughter's favorite imaginary games to play is taking people's money (ha ha!!!!). She loves to come up to me with her shopping cart, and tally up the vegetables, play with money, fake credit cards, and then get the receipt. This cash register is super cute because it has a weigh scale too. This is an excellent game to play for their counting skills.
3. Play Doh is a classic kids' activity that keeps them busy making shapes and experimenting with their hands. I like this set because it has such a great variety of parts. I often set up Maya with play doh while I am trying to do my make-up or cook something. It's also one of the few kids toys that are really cheap!
4. One of my daughter's favorite pretend-play activities is playing "doctor" to all her stuffed animals. This kit has 9 doctor tools that come in a cute kit that you can easily put away. After going to school, your kids will get sick frequently as they build their immunity up, so this kit helps make doctor visits a bit less scary.
5. This age is THE stage for puzzles and visual problem solving. I love to buy puzzles that have a learning element to them - like this cute map of the world. After it's done, we point to all the continents, oceans and countries and show my daughter where all her relatives live. Sometimes she lines up all her toy figurines on the map too!
6. Instead of regular play food, this chopping toy is a big hit with Maya and her friends. It is made out of really good quality wood and makes a chopping sound when you cut it. It is great practice for safe cutting for them, and how to hold a utensil. My daughter also takes it along in her shopping cart, and cuts the pieces for a picnic to share with all her animals.
7. I was thinking about getting a play kitchen for years, but I wasn't sure that my daughter would play with it. But now, especially at this age when she does imaginary play the majority of the time, she really gets into it. I prefer this kitchen set because it has two separate counters - one stove-top and one for dishes. I also love the peekaboo window and curtains. This kitchen set is less bulky and fits great in small spaces. Kidkraft kitchens in particular are very well made and durable.
8. We bought this ABC puzzle when we were traveling and we loved it so much that we bought two - one for grandma's house too! This is an upgrade to a basic peg puzzle because it is educational and teaches them to identify letters. Underneath the letters, there are cute drawings of words that are associated with the letters - like "A" for "apple".
9. This is a fun magnetic paper doll type of game so the kids can play dress up. During this age, getting them dressed is a big thing and you'd start encouraging them to learn how to dress themselves. This game makes it fun, without a big mess. I love how it is magnetic, so it doesn't fall off and go missing!
10. This is another magnetic toy - but for building! It's a great alternative to Lego, where you can build geometric structures like houses and castles. It is an award-winning toy for a reason!
11. Lately, it's ALL about figurines! My daughter loves to line them all up in a herd and put them in a tray "to take the boat to India"! She can play with them for hours around the house. I love this line because they are all hand-painted, well-made and durable.
12. We gave Maya a scooter for her 3rd birthday this year and she absolutely loves it. She tears around the neighborhood like an absolute little devil! This scooter tilts to the sides when you want to turn the wheels, making it easier for the little ones to coordinate. It has a bigger foot area than the "big kid" scooters. I have also noticed that using the scooter has really improved her balance too. This product is also inexpensive (thank god!)
13. Our newest edition to our home is this awesome Ikea art easel for kids. My daughter draws on it every single day, and I love that I can watch her from my kitchen. This easel fits easily into small spaces because it is narrow. It is also very sturdy, and has a nice tray to hold all their markers. A bonus is that there is a chalkboard on the back! Two children could easily use it at once.
14. One of Maya's favorite toys at grandma's house is a doll house. This is a beautifully crafted wooden doll house that is a keeper for years to come. A doll house is perfect for kids who like to play "house" and have an active imagination.
This concludes my holiday gift guides for this year!
Happy shopping, dear readers!

HI guys!!
"The African race is a rubber ball. The harder you dash it to the ground, the higher it will rise. ~African Proverb
i read that and i thought it was a great quote, especially this time of the year!!!
even tho i dont think black history should be celebrated one month out of the year….but should be part of a regular history rotation, i felt like i should immortalize artistically something that could be a great reflection of the steps forward that have been made in the years…so i made this new painting, its called BHM and i really had fun working on this!and i hope you will like it too!!
i have a new piece in the works and im really excited about it if it comes out the way im thinking of it, the idea was given to me by my favorite person in the world, and she hit this one right on the nose!!!!so will see what i make of it!!!!
BALL…so this weekend we lost to the best, still undefeated team in the league..and even tho we only lost by 6…and everyone around us was really proud of us…i still feel like 1…no reason to be proud of a loss….2 we could have played so much better and actually have the best upset of the season…but oh well no point in dwelling on the past, so getting ready for mondays game will be the task at hand!!!
HAIR….i decided my napps are in need of a break from smog…cold…and combs…so my hair is now "unbeweavable"…lol….and it turned out ok so its going to be looking like this definitely for a couple of weeks…then will see when i get bored with it!!!
Until next time,

What the critics say…
Since I started ghostwriting books for clients, I have always felt very fortunate to have written for some amazing people, helping them turn their idea for a story or a book into a reality. It's always a great buzz for me as their ghostwriter to see the look on the face of someone who is holding in their hands the first copy of their very own book. Brilliant!
Here are some comments from clients and reviewers…

A wonderfully written book… great sense of humour. A moving book, a true story.
P Camp
Maggie stands out as a true wordsmith. I genuinely enjoyed the book and couldn't put it down.
Anna Murby, BBC Radio Northampton presenter
Maggie's writing has a unique quality that engages you from the first word. Her style is witty and conversational, yet poignant and honest, and she explores those places we all visit in our lives and makes sense of them. A truly awesome first book.
Alison Keenan, TV playwright & presenter
A fantastic read. Couldn't put it down.
Ian J
Made me laugh, made me cry. One of the best written books…
Pippa T
I have read this book and have been gripped by it. It is real. All life is there. Maggie is a 'natural'. Believe it.
George Mann, publisher
Really grabbed me… laughter and tears rolled into one!
Neal T
And other books I've written…
I could not have written my book without Maggie Allen. My story was unusual and not a comfortable read for most people, but I felt I had a moral obligation to do this. The book received 5 star reviews from top experts in the field of psychology in the US and the UK. Maggie is so personable and genuine, and really puts her heart into her work. She is a natural.
Pamela Roche – Broken Lives, Broken Minds
From our first contact Maggie inspired confidence. Very professional and clear about her role, also very warm, engaging and empathetic. I had a story that I needed a ghost writer to engage with, not just on a factual level but, as importantly, on a human level. I needed to know that my ghost writer would be able to connect with me and my situation, and the struggle I had gone through. Maggie more than met my expectations in all respects and it is a pleasure to work with her
J.T. [book not yet published]
Because of the underlying passion and the skilled assistance of Maggie Allen, this book is hard to put down.
Australian radio station 'Dads on the Air' – Broken Lives, Broken Minds
Absolutely fantastic – Maggie took me back in time but in a good way. Putting my story into words became much more than the original intention when I started reading the pages as brought to life by my ghost writer, Maggie.

Two weeks ago I posted about how I spiced up the graphs in CMS. Well, now it's time for the gantt charts. This is what they looked like before:
And this is what they look like now:Read More
Note: An old college friend recently asked me to critique the design of one of his web projects. I thought some of my advice might be helpful to web developers in general, though, so I'm publishing a few excerpts here.
Color scheme and ascetic choices are some of the more subtle design decisions, but they go a long way towards improving site usability. Take the video sharing site, Vimeo, for example. Zach Klein, one of my favorite designers, is largely responsible for its look and feel, and he's done a great job creating a site that just seems easy. Don't confuse good design with simplicity, though. A lot of effort has gone into making this page look clean.Read More
The graphs in CMS get the job done, but they're just not as attractive as they could be.

I just posted a brand new five minute CMS tour to our products page. Just click on the video at the top of the screen to play.
We've updated the website to show off our new CMS 2.0 software. The products section now has a screenshot tour of CMS as well as a brand new section for our ETL tool, Spider Connect. We've updated a bunch of other pages too, so hopefully all of the information you need will be even easier to find than before.

hearing myself talk
Well, hello.
If a person blogs in her backyard and there's no one there to read it, did she really write anything?
We shall see. So I am thinking about perhaps rejuvenating this blog. But the problem is, what sort of blog would it be? Would it be a knitting blog? A teacher blog? A person who owns several ukuleles but doesn't really play them sort of blog? Maybe a showoff what I've been baking and knitting kind of blog? Parenting trials and tribulations? All those things currently live on facebook… is there a reason to come back to the blog format?
What with it being summer and having some extra time that would ordinarily be allocated to laundry, blogging is looking kind of appealing.
Even if it is just for my own head-clearing writing-muscles benefit, I think I"ll try for a 15 day challenge. Let's see if I can write just a little something every day. Here's day one… anyone there?
Concerns to consider:
Is this blog auto-mailing itself to anyone from my previous life as a blogger… and is that going to be a mess?
Is this blog connecting itself automatically to facebook and twitter? In a good way?
How do I get a pinterest button up in here? (Anyone know?)
That's all for now! See you tomorrow…

Click here to view an interactive map of the Northern Ireland dataset as currently collated by CEDaR.
The map is generated through the NBN Gateway using their Interactive Mapping Tool.
This is one of the smallest (4-6cm) of the beard lichens which form little erect tufts on a wide range of twigs and branches, for example, garden shrubs, fruit trees and thorns. The base of the holdfast is unblackened and the tiny branches twist and writhe, bending at the ends to form hooked tips covered in white patches coated with soredia. The medulla (lower layer) is K + red, Pd + red (scrape away a little of the cortex (outer layer) then test). West and central Ireland; rare in the extreme east.

Are you eating enough fibre?
Most Canadians don't eat enough fibre. According to the Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation, adults need 21 to 38 grams per day, but the average Canadian consumes 14 grams daily.
We all know a high-fibre diet is healthy for us-it helps lower blood cholesterol levels, in turn reducing the risk of coronary heart disease; and it also promotes good digestive health (a polite way of saying, it helps prevent constipation and hemorrhoids). But many of us don't go out of our way to include high-fibre foods in our diet. We think they're boring, or hard to prepare. Wrong!
Try these 10 tips and you'll find a high-fibre diet can be as deliciously easy as it is healthy.

Major News and Events of 08 August 2015
What Happened on 08 August 2015
After Threat Letter Security beefed up for Justice Dipak Misra
PM Modi meets AIADMK Chief to Discuss GST Bill and Cauvery Issue
CEC led Election Commission Team meets representatives of political parties in Bihar
ISRO's Commercial Arm signs Deals to Launch 9 American Nano/Micro Satellites by 2016-end
Reports claim Suresh Raina dropped from Zimbabwe Tour after ex-IPL Chief Lalit Modi's Mail Bomb
With the sanctions on Iran all set to be lifted, National Aluminium Co Ltd (NALCO) has planned to set up $2.6 billion worth Aluminium Complex (consisting aluminium smelter and power plant) in Iran. NALCO's Chairman-cum-Managing Director, Tapan Kumar Chand, is learned to be meeting foreign ministry officials of India and Iran's ambassador to India in the coming week for making the ball roll. The announcement comes after Indian company KIOCL agreed last month of selling high-grade iron ore pellets to Iran, whose worth is $200 million per annum. Reports also say a NALCO appointed consultant shortlisted Indonesia and Oman for setting up smelter.
After Justice Dipak Misra (one of the three Supreme Court judges who turned down last minute plea of 1993 Mumbai Blast convict Yakub Memon) received an anonymous threat letter, his security arrangements has been beefed up. Security arrangement of his residence has been increased through deployment of central paramilitary force commandos and a bullet proof car has been arranged. Meanwhile, Home Ministry has issued warning that the intelligence agencies of Pakistan have planned to hack computer networks of key Indian ministries including External Affairs and Defence. The MHA advisory said that complex matrix of online proxies will be used by Pakistan intelligence agencies for hacking.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi today met J Jayalalitha, Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, over lunch in her Chennai's Poes Garden residence. During the 30-minute lunch meeting PM Modi sought support for the proposed GST bill from AIADMK supremo. Though PM's main official purpose of visiting Tamil Nadu was to inaugurate National Handloom Day function at University of Madras's centenary hall, Modi's meet with Jayalalitha hogged the media limelight. In fact, TN CM also received PM Modi at the airport. An official communiqué of the Tamil Nadu government said that CM presented a memorandum to the PM that consisted the state's pending issues with the Union government.
Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Nasim Zaidi led team of Election Commission (EC) has arrived in Patna on a 2-day visit for assessing preparations for upcoming Bihar Assembly election. CEC Nasim Zaidi, Achal Kumar Jyoti (Election Commissioner), and Umesh Sinha (Deputy Election Commissioner) met representatives of different political parties of the state separately and discussed (took requests, suggestions, and opinions) about the upcoming election. For ensuring free and fair election, Vashisht Narayan Singh (JD-U's Bihar President) led a delegation and submitted a 10-point memorandum. JDU spokesperson Neeraj Kumar said that they demanded adequate deployment of CRPF, RAF, and BSF personnel during election.
Indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO) commercial arm, Antrix Corporation, has entered into an agreement to launch 9 American nano/micro satellites and put them into orbit by 2016-end. Reports say that micro satellites weigh between 10 kgs to 100 kgs and nano satellites weigh anywhere from 1 kg to 10 kgs. An ISRO official said that an Astrosat satellite is all set to be launched in September with the help of PSLV (Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle) rocket. The official also said that ISRO is currently busy making arrangements for launching communication satellite GSAT-6 on 27 August through heavier GSLV (Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle) Mark II rocket.
Report published in a national newspaper claims that Ajinkya Rahane was not the first choice of the BCCI selectors for the position of skipper for Zimbabwe tour. They initially chose more experienced cricketer Suresh Raina for the captain's position for two T20s and three ODIs. However, ex-IPL chief Lalit Modi's mail bomb (to ICC CEO Dave Richardson back in June'13), alleging Raina as one of the three Rajasthan Royal players of having accepted favours from a real estate tycoon, made a top BCCI official intervene and change the decision. However, both ICC and BCCI have given clean chit to the accused three players including Suresh Raina.

Have you ever been to Lost and Found ? It's a shadowy place we discover only through loss. It's filled with hats, mittens, watches, toys, and rings of gold and silver. And it smells of hope and fear and musty books. A child's first visit is a powerful experience. A valued possession has been lost. Perhaps in the classroom or on the playground. A frantic search leads to tearful resignation. Finders, keepers; losers, weepers.
But wait. A classmate steps forward. Have you tried the Lost and Found? Understanding is instant. A place for lost things. That makes sense. A short walk to an office with a cardboard box under a table. There it is. That's mine. A happy ending.
Of course, sometimes finders are keepers. Sometimes things get lost between the cracks. It depends what you lose and where and when. The idea of Lost and Found is universal. It's a social institution that transcends place and time. But the instantiation is another matter. A cardboard box in your local school. A steel cage in a foreign airport. The idea adapts to suit its environment. Each instance is defined by location.
Or at least it was until that disruptive technology known as the Internet came along. People from all over can now report and seek items using the Internet Lost and Found. The site sports an international database of pet and property listings, and the stories of success touch the heart and mind. An 83-year-old woman recovers a beloved heirloom necklace. A 10-year-old boy is reunited with his English Springer Spaniel. Dogs, cats, watches, wallets. Lost in the world. Found in cyberspace. Our digital networks locate physical objects. Keyword search isn't just for documents anymore. Technology has entered the shadow lands of Lost and Found, and we ain't seen nothin' yet.
Some speak of a coming techno-utopia, a magical era when all our problems will fade into the sunset. The end of poverty and starvation. No more sickness and disease. Global peace. Eternal life. In the words of Ernest Hemingway in The Sun Also Rises, isn't it pretty to think so? The human condition won't be untangled so easily, and technology is a double-edged sword. Arthur C. Clarke once said "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." His remark conjures both promise and peril.
We can be surprised and delighted by innovation. A vaccine for smallpox. A man on the moon. A computer through the eye of a needle. Sometimes anything seems possible, and yet it's not. Technology remains subject to the laws of physics and the gravity of economics. Unfortunately, false prophets abound, and today's technology is advanced enough that we have a hard time separating fact from fiction.
On the Web, these prophets claim that artificial intelligence will make it easy for us to find what we need, or better yet, for our digital agents and smart services to find us. Indeed, progress will come, but it won't come so easy. Information anxiety will intensify, and we'll spend more time, rather than less, searching for what we need.
These sober predictions derive not from the laws of physics but from the limits of language. For that's what we talk about when we talk about findability. While the Web's architecture rests on a solid foundation of code, its usefulness depends on the slippery slope of semantics. It's all about words. Words as labels. Words as links. Keywords.
And words are messy little critters. Imprecise and undependable, their meaning shifts with context. One man's paradise is another man's oblivion. Synonyms, antonyms, homonyms, contranyms: the challenges of communication are part of the human condition, unsusceptible to the eager advances of technology.
Some speak of a coming techno-dystopia, a brave new world of more ignorance and less freedom. Librarians worry about students who never step foot in libraries, a dot.net generation that goes to Google when they need to read. One woman I met at a conference in Paris even accused the Internet of creating "a black hole in our cultural heritage."
While sometimes funny, these fears aren't irrational or insignificant, but they don't keep me up at night. Because, when it comes to the Internet and the future of ambient findability, I'm an optimist. In Marshall McLuhan's insight that the medium is the message, I see the power of the Internet to engage people as participants in the collaborative, productive enterprise of knowledge creation and dissemination. For information is ultimately about communication. As S.I. Hayakawa once wrote:
In addition to having developed language, human beings have also developed means of making, on clay tablets, bits of wood or stone, skins of animals, paper and microchips, more or less permanent marks and scratches that stand for language...Humans are no longer dependent for information upon direct experience alone. Instead of exploring the false trails others have explored and repeating their errors, they can go on from where others left off. Language makes progress possible.[*]
We take language and the Internet for granted, yet they are testaments to human ingenuity and our ability to enlist selfish genes in remarkable acts of cooperation. So, as the Web rolls on, I don't fear the loss of culture. On the contrary, the Web makes our cultural heritage more accessible. The dialogues of Plato, the sonnets of Shakespeare, and the poetry of Paradise Lost are all findable and accessible, even from a beach in Newport.
Yesterday will not be lost, and we won't find paradise in the morning. But tomorrow will be different. Findability is at the center of a quiet revolution in how we define authority, allocate trust, and make decisions. We won't forget the past, but we will reinvent the future. And as we wander into the uncharted territory between the land of atoms and the sea of bits, we should bring a compass, or even better, a Treo, because the journey transforms the destination, and it's easy to become lost in reflection.

Sunday on NBC's "Meet The Press," Republican presidential candidate Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said any attempt at a constitutional amendment to ban same sex marriage is "a process that is not going to bear fruit" and would only hurt the Republican Party because of the public's shift in opinion favoring gay marriage.
Graham said, "I think it's a transformational moment. There are a lot of upset people who believe in traditional marriage. They're disappointed. They're down right now. But the court has ruled, so here's where I stand. If I'm president of the United States, here's what would happen. If you have a church, a mosque or a synagogue and you're following your faith and you refuse to preform a same-sex marriage because it's outside the tenets of your faith in my presidency you will not lose your tax-exempt status. If you're a gay person or gay couple if I'm president of the United States, you'll be able to participate in commerce and be a full member of society, consistent with the religious beliefs of others who have rights also."
He added, "I don't believe there's any chance for Constitutional amendment defining marriage between one man and one woman to get two-thirds vote in the House or Senate and be ratified …You can put it in the platform but in my view it will hurt us in 2016 because it's a process that's not going to bear fruit. I want to protect the religious liberties of those who believe that opposing same-sex marriage as part of their faith. So, no, I would not engage in the Constitutional amendment process as a party going into 2016. Accept the court's ruling, fight for the religious liberties of every American."

By Janice Hardy, @Janice_Hardy
During a panel at World Fantasy a number of years back, Grand dame author Chelsea Quinn Yarbro hit the nail on the head when she said:
There are two hooks that need to be felt for the reader to really buy into the story. The intellectual hook, and the emotional hook.
She went on to explain (I'm paraphrasing here) that the intellectual hook is the plot stuff. The things we want to know because an interesting question has been raised (story questions). The emotional hook is the stuff we need to know because we've become emotionally invested in the characters and what to see how their problem turns out.
If these two things aren't in the first fifth of the novel, then odds are it won't hold on to the reader. They might keep reading because one or the other is compelling enough in their own right, but they won't be thinking about the book long after they've finished it--or talking about it with everyone they know.
It's a great summary of the difference between a good book and a great book. It could even be the elusive "something" that would take a novel from "I just didn't connect enough with it" to "Yes, I want to buy/represent/publish this"
Books that wow have both heart and soul, intelligent puzzles and emotional connections. Readers care deeply about the characters and have to know how their problems turn out. A great example here is Peak by Roland Smith, the story of a 14-year-old boy who gets into trouble for climbing skyscrapers and is sent to live with his father, the world's best mountaineer--who happens to be about to launch an expedition to the summit of Mt. Everest. Kids climbing Everest! How can you not be hooked by that?
Besides a fantastic intellectual hook--does he make it to the summit? It has a great emotional hook--what will it cost him to reach the summit? Will this climb fix the many problems he has inches life that are creating his reckless behavior?
(Here's more on asking the right story questions in your novel)
Another great example is the movie, Mama. This is a movie that keeps you guessing, wondering, questioning everything you see, but also makes you care about the characters--including the antagonist--and even better, question what you care about, because it's so...unusual.
(Here's more on why every writer should watch Mama)
My fantasy novel Blue Fire gave me problems in the first few drafts (there were five before I got it right) because the emotional hook just wasn't there. Nya's problems were interesting enough, but readers could have easily set the book down and come back later because that emotional hook was missing. Many of my revision passes went into developing the emotional hook so readers needed to know what happened with Nya and how she solved her problems.
Two Sides of the Plot Coin
From a plotting standpoint, two hooks driving the narrative offers double the opportunity for strong storytelling that appeals to a variety of readers. If one hook isn't pulling readers in, the other can take up the slack. We can even play them against each other to heighten tensions and flesh out the charger arcs. Add in the inner and outer conflicts (which will no doubt be connected to the hooks) and suddenly there's a lot to choose from to create the plot.
We can drawn on the emotional hooks when we want to deepen the emotions, and crank up the intellectual hooks when we want to bring out the mystery. For the really big turning points, we can hit readers with both for the most impact.
Intellectual hooks are the easier hook--a great story question, a neat twist, a fascinating premise. Interesting concepts readers haven't seen before (or haven't seen in this way before) that keeps them on their toes and guessing what will happen next. This hook is plot related, since figuring out the puzzle is an intellectual activity.
(Here's more on plotting with hooks and story questions)
Emotional hooks are the tougher of the two, especially in plot-driven stories. In order to evoke the right level of emotion, readers need to care about the protagonist. A good place to start here is with a universal theme--a child in trouble, a lost love, grief, etc. Things that everyone can relate to and emphasize with. Then work in a unique twist that fits the story and balances out the intellectual hook of the tale.
(Here's more on creating likable characters)
Chances are, the intellectual hook will be connected to the external conflict, and the emotional hook will be connected to the internal conflict. Depending on the story, (plot driven or character driven) we might be developing one over the other, since we tend to focus on plot in a plot-driven story and character in a character-driven story. Whichever type of story (plot or character), look for ways to develop the other side into something as strong as the main narrative. A thriller with characters we love will only be more thrilling. A literary journey that keeps us guessing will only suck us in more.
Using Both Sides in Our Writing
The emotional and intellectual hooks work in tandem with the character arc and the plot arc to craft a strong novel. They're like the conceptual foundations for those arcs really, providing the plot puzzle and the growth arc that gives that puzzle greater meaning.
To test your own story, look at your novel and ask:
- What puzzle will make readers curious to see solved?
- What concept or situation will make readers consider the various meanings and options of the story?
- Are there questions raised all throughout the story?
- What will make readers care about the characters and the story itself?
- What (or who) will readers relate to?
- What emotion will resonate with readers during (and after) the story?
Does your novel have both hooks? Which is stronger? Can you think of any examples of stories that do both of these hooks particularly well (odds are they're your favorites)?

Shin Min Ah Gives Strong Gaze With Short Hair For The Cover Of Fashion Magazine 'Elle' Korea and Hong Kong
By Siti Fatimah | March 17, 2017 11:49 AM EDT
Shin Min Ah is a talented actress to pull off any character given with perfect acting. Having a great success with "Oh My Venus" paired with So Ji Sub, she made a hot topic to reveal her relationship with Kim Woo Bin. Recently, she was chosen for the cover of "Elle," looking fabulous as ever.
As reported by AllKpop, Shin Min Ah was featured for the cover of fashion magazine "Elle." She had short hair as seen in "Tomorrow with You" in tvN. She could pull off chic look with her short hair. Having zigzag line to divide her hair in the middle, she could show a strong yet sexy gaze. It was reported that she did the photo shoot really well because she did many poses and made sure everything was perfect.
Having the shoot with beautiful dress with black thighs combined with yellow shoes, she could nail the shoot really well. This Kim Woo Bin's girlfriend will be featured for the cover of "Elle" Korea and Hong Kong at the same time. For fans who want to know more about Shin Min Ah through interview, they can read it on the magazine published on March 20.
Shin Min Ah's new drama "Tomorrow with You" seems to not get success as the previous drama "Oh My Venus." The rating was quite disappointing. As reported by Wiki, the first episode got only 3.9%. The rating kept on decreasing and for episode 12, it got only 1.5%. It was such a drop compared to Shin Min Ah's previous drama. Also, this new drama replaced "Goblin" in tvN. Since "Goblin" got high ratings, people expected more for this new drama. Yet, people seemed to choose another TV channel.
Shin Min Ah's new drama might be not really successful as expected but she always shows professionalism in working. You can see it especially when she had photo shoot for "Elle." Fans will be able to catch up with Shin Min Ah's recent update soon through the magazine.

Is another Mars rover best for planetary science?
NASA announced today that it's planning to send another Curiosity-class rover to Mars by 2020. The Curiosity rover has been a substantial PR bono for the agency at a time when it needs all the good attention it can get, so I understand their thinking. I'm not sure, however, if this is the best course of action for science. Mars has been studied intensively: Curiosity, Spirit, Opportunity, Phoenix Mars Lander, MRO, Mars Odyssey, and Mars Express have all studied the red planet since 2000. Uranus and Neptune, on the other hand, have never been closely studied.
Curiosity cost in the neighborhood of USD 2.5 billion. For the same cost, we could more or less afford to send a Cassini-class mission to one of these outer planets. Cassini, which has been orbiting Saturn since 2004, is NASA's last planned flagship mission to the outer planets. It's been spectacularly successful and revealed many unexpected things about Saturn, its rings, and its moons. Another option would be to follow up on some of these discoveries by sending a pair of missions to interesting moons of Saturn and Jupiter. Europa, Titan, and Enceladus all seem more likely homes for current life than does Mars.
When New Horizons flies by Pluto in 2015, it will mark the end of new spacecraft in the outer solar system. I think that's a shame, and would rather see that exploration continue before another mission to Mars.

CHICAGO --Chicago Mayor Richard Daley says he isn't sure what he can do to end the feud between Governor Rod Blagojevich and House Speaker Michael Madigan. While Daley was out of town last week, Blagojevich said the mayor should come off the sidelines in a feud over the governor's stalled capital construction program.
At a news conference Thursday, Daley said it's hard when a feud gets personal and people in politics "break trust." And the mayor asked what there was for him to patch up since the feud has been dragging on.
Blagojevich has accused Madigan of being the road block to a deal for a statewide construction program. And Madigan sends surrogates to meetings with the governor because he says meeting with Blagojevich is unproductive.
