How I Learnt to Start a Business From a Man Who Led 10,000 People
I learnt how to start a business from a man who led over 10.000 people. He led his production team to become one of the most efficient manufacturing companies in the 4th most populous country in the world. They supplied 1.2 million products per month to brands such as Adidas, Nike and Reebok. This man is my dad.
At home, my dad hardly speaks about the intricacies of his work. More often, he shares little nuggets of wisdom and habits that I continue to apply to my life today. Here are four lessons I've learnt from him.
1) Don't be afraid to dream big — At a young age, my dad instilled in me and my siblings an adaptation of Napoleon Hill's expression: "Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can be achieved." A person's mindset seals their own fate.
The only barrier to achieving success is your own mind. How do you envision your life? On a piece of paper, write down your desires. Don't be afraid, and think that anything is out of reach. As my dad says, anything can be achieved if you can imagine it.
2) Have a plan and set goals — Dreaming big can help you envision the possibilities. However, it's not enough to simply sit and wait for them to come true. My dad carries in his wallet a piece of paper that he wrote when he was 16 years old. The paper lists a number of goals, of which 80% he has accomplished.
Creating a life blueprint helps you make decisions. After envisioning how your life can be, write down a list of goals that will help you achieve your desires. What steps do you need to take in order to move forward? Make these goals relevant, and keep them specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time-bound.
3) Meditate and reflect — Take the time each day to get lost in your own thoughts. This allows you to check-in and have a 'conversation' with the most important person—your own self. My dad spends his mornings on his desk, where he reflects and plans out his day. He writes in his journal, and looks back at his goals. This habit has helped him stay motivated and ensures he stays on track to accomplish his goals.
As someone who has always enjoyed the company of others, I had found it hard to form this habit. To overcome this, I began taking a few minutes before going to bed to reflect. I turn off all my electronics, grab a pen and paper, and just write.
When starting a business, it becomes easy to lose focus on why you started in the first place. It gets easy to lose motivation and forget why you love what you're doing. Meditation and reflection helps to stay focused on the bigger picture. It's as simple as taking 5-10 minutes each day, and asking yourself questions. What did you learn today? What are you thankful for? What can be improved? This can be done at any time, whether it be in the morning while drinking a cup of coffee or strolling in a park during the evening.
4) Be humble — There is no doubt that money is a necessity in the world. My dad is the simplest man I know. When he was growing up in a rural area in the Philippines, they had a small home with no fancy gadgets. Jokingly, he mentioned that they did have a sunroof, which was a hole in the roof, where rain would drip into their home. As kids growing up in Indonesia, me and my siblings asked our parents why we didn't have a swimming pool like other expat families. His answer was simply, "We don't need a swimming pool to be happy in life."
My dad has always reminded us that placing happiness in material objects is dangerous. It gives a temporary high that lasts until it breaks, or when a new shiny object comes along. Adapting his mantra, I believe that an occasional splurge should be acceptable. After all, you've worked for your hard-earned money. It's most important to remain humble in the face of success. Encourage others to share your joy, but always be reminded of those with hardships. Invest in yourself, but also in others.
Starting a business can be difficult, but these 4 habits form the foundations of mindset, goal-setting, focus and humility. They've helped a man who has led 10,000 people, and hopefully they will help you too.
Happy birthday, Papa!

I love soooo many things, but here's the distilled version:
Reading & Writing have shaped who I am. Taking in the work of authors lets me experience worlds I would never otherwise be able to, and producing my own writing helps me process the world I live in.
There's nothing more relaxing to me than painting. When I was growing up, instead of going to Chuck E Cheese's, my two sisters, mom and I would spend the weekends on the porch with our paintbrushes. Now whenever I paint it feels like home.
|A painting of my mom's
I'm not crazy about exercising, but I do love to dance. In November I'm going to the Movement Lifestyle Tour with amazing teachers like these two newlyweds:
I love animals of all kinds, with a special soft spot for kitties, bunnies, and whales. This has led to a slight obsession with animals in weddings, as you can see from my pinterest board.
|oh heyy kitties~
Animal-shaped things also really do it for me.
|I might never grow up
Cooking at home saves me so much money, is (usually) healthier than eating out, and is always fun to do with friends and family :) Wanna come over and make dinner?

ATLANTA - Critics are claiming a former lawmaker's connections helped him get a sweetheart state job.
Former Republican state Sen. Chip Rogers is now making $150,000 a year at Georgia Public Broadcasting.
Channel 2's Lori Geary obtained a copy of a resignation letter from a GPB veteran who said she's quitting in protest.
Ashlie Wilson Pendley worked at GPB for 15 years, working her way up to an executive producer position. In her resignation letter, she said she's had enough after hearing Rogers was hired for a similar position making three times more than her.
Wednesday was Rogers' second day on the job at GPB and already there's fallout.
After several weeks of open-records requests, Geary found out his salary is $150,000. His appointed position is executive producer of "job creations."
When asked for his job description Geary found out there isn't one.
The senior human resources manager responded saying, "Currently we are working on a job description that details the duties that will be assigned."
"People are outraged over this," said Bryan Long, who heads watchdog group Better Georgia.
Long said Better Georgia obtained Wilson Pendley after her resignation from GPB.
"She's unhappy with the sweetheart deal Chip Rogers got," Long said.
Wilson Pendley's letter read, in part, "I think it is unconscionable to create a position and compensate any individual in this manner during these difficult times. This was the wrong decision for GPB. It has the appearance of the political manipulation of the public airwaves. This stinks of cronyism. I believe this decision was in fact made at the highest political levels and forced upon this organization."
Geary found Pendley's recent salary was not quite $54,000, and nowhere near Rogers' $150,000 salary.
"We have a petition at FireChipRogers.com," Long said.
Long blames Rogers' appointment on Gov. Nathan Deal.
"Tax dollars matter and in this economy they matter a lot. Gov. Deal has a responsibility to manage those dollars wisely instead of giving government handouts to his political friends," Long said.
The governor's office had no response, saying the governor did not hire Rogers.
Geary also reached out to
Pendley, who said she won't comment because her official last day is Jan. 31.
A spokeswoman for GPB said they don't comment on personnel matters.

Things are getting very patriotic here in the UK. It's the Queen's Diamond Jubilee next week and the London Olympics are just around the corner.
With all of the street parties happening for the Jubilee I was thinking of things I could make for the momentous occasion. What is something traditionally British that people love to eat...? Scones! With cream and jam of course ;)
I've come up with a recipe that is sugar-free, gluten-free and vegan. They are much smaller then regular scones which makes them an excellent addition to any party food table.
Royal Mini Party Scones (Sugar-free, gluten-free, vegan)Makes 12 cupcakes
Ingredients:For the scones
- 1 1/2 cups Gluten-free oat flour (I grinded up gluten-free oats to make flour, you can use ordinary oats if gluten is not a problem.)
- 1/2 cup non-dairy milk (I used soy)
- 1/2 cup oil (I used olive, coconut oil would be great too)
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp flax seed
- 3 tbsp water
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp liquid stevia
- 1/4 tsp salt
For the raspberry jam
- I used Eating Bird Food's Chia Seed Jam recipe. It's really easy and sugar free. It simply uses raspberries (or any berry you like) and chia seeds.
For the cream
- One can of coconut milk left open in the fridge overnight.
- Approx 10 drops of liquid stevia
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
For the scones
- Preheat oven to 180C
- First we are going to make a flax seed egg! Mix together the flax and water. Whisk until properly combined and then set aside to thicken up.
- Mix together flour, baking soda and salt in a bowl.
- In a separate bowl mix together the oil, vanilla extract, stevia and the flax "egg".
- Thoroughly stir the wet mixture into the dry.
- Add the milk one tablespoon at a time into the mixture.
- Spoon batter evenly into 12 cupcake cases. (I used silicon cases)
- The batter will be quite thick so make sure you level out each scone so the top is flat. The easiest way to do this is by wetting your fingers with a little water and pushing them flat.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
For the raspberry jam
- Check out Eating Bird Food's Chia Seed Jam recipe. Of course you can use any jam you like, but try and find the most natural.
For the cream
- Once you have left your can of coconut milk in the fridge opened over night, it should have thickened up to create a cream like consistency at the top of the can.
- Scoop out the cream and place in a bowl.
- Add stevia and vanilla and mix together.
Once the mini scones are finished baking allow them to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice them in half.
Add the coconut cream...
...followed by the raspberry jam.

I was 27 or so, and working with a real tough guy who was maybe three years older.
He wasn't a chef, he was just a guy trying to make it as cook. But he seemed like less of someone that should be a cook than anyone I ever knew
He had come from a broken home. Some steel town outside Pittsburgh. He said his daddy beat him senseless all the time. It was like he had walked right out of that album, right out of that title song, "Born In The USA".
He seemed like he had probably done some time; maybe he had, but what he talked about the most was how he'd left home at 16, joined the Army and ended up in Vietnam. He was entirely affected by it all; he wore an American flag headband and an Army jacket and we called him Rambo. He talked like Rambo, walked like Rambo, acted like Rambo and wouldn't you know it he looked just like Rambo too, except his nose was a lot more crooked. And he was a big, strong, fit SOB too with a look like he could creep up on you and stab you in the neck and you wouldn't even make a sound. He was the first guy I knew that had one of those little locks of hair growing longer from the back. I think they call it a "Rat-Tail".
His favorite song of course, was Born In The USA, he sang it always.
He seemed like a guy who might go off any minute, kill a cop and end up in the woods somewhere, and a whole army wouldn't be able to shake him out of there. But I found favor with him somehow, maybe because we'd be preppin' in the kitchen, and I'd get the song started by banging a pot with a spoon keeping time, then "Born down in a deadmans town", and pretty soon the whole kitchen is singin' it.
We'd belly bump, and he'd let me box him, like a Doberman might let a Terrier nip at him.
Fuckin' Rambo. I think about him every time I hear a Springsteen song.
He had a girl, but I think he slugged her one night, and I don't remember if he got fired, or if he just stopped showing up. All I know for sure was he was a stick of dynamite with a short ass fuse. And like a wolf, no matter how much you fed him, he would always have one eye on your throat and another on the woods.
So when a buddy posted "Downbound Train", a song I'd never heard before that I can recollect, it made me think of Rambo. Fits him, it does, maybe even more than the obvious Born In The USA. And I got to say, upon hearing this song I got choked up thinking about Rambo, and how I cant even remember his right name, and hope to God he's doing OK.
I hope to God he's doing OK.
"Downbound Train"
I had something going mister in this world
I got laid off down at the lumber yard
Our love went bad, times got hard
Now I work down at the carwash
Where all it ever does is rain
Don't you feel like you're a rider on a downbound train
She just said "Joe I gotta go
We had it once we ain't got it any more"
She packed her bags left me behind
She bought a ticket on the Central Line
Nights as I sleep, I hear that whistle whining
I feel her kiss in the misty rain
And I feel like I'm a rider on a downbound train
Last night I heard your voice
You were crying, crying, you were so alone
You said your love had never died
You were waiting for me at home
Put on my jacket, I ran through the woods
I ran till I thought my chest would explode
There in the clearing, beyond the highway
In the moonlight, our wedding house shone
I rushed through the yard, I burst through the front door
My head pounding hard, up the stairs I climbed
The room was dark, our bed was empty
Then I heard that long whistle whine
And I dropped to my knees, hung my head and cried
Now I swing a sledge hammer on a railroad gang
Knocking down them cross ties, working in the rain
Now don't it feel like you're a rider on a downbound train

On the way in to work this morning I only saw 4 cars and gas was 1.66 a gallon.
Hello? Did I miss the Rapture?

Every year I go through the same exercise at Kohls. The cashier asks if I have a Kohl's Credit card.
"No ma'am"
"Would you like to apply for one?"
"Ma'am, there's no way they are going to give me one."
"We will give you 20% off just for applying"
Well, who can turn that down?
So every year I hold up the line to get my 20% off, the cost being the shame, humiliation and suffering I go through while everyone is watching.
I hear the guy two people down ask whats taking so long, and the woman behind him whisper "He's trying to get credit", then the computer spits out its answer, and the girl cocks her head and says "I'm sorry, here is a number you can call to find out why you were DENIED"
I don't need to call, I know damn well why I was denied, but HEY, I got my 20% right?
Well, let me tell you something sister.
This year is different.
I'm going down to Kohls and get my 20% AND their fricken' card because I'm getting approved for credit all over the place!

He comes up with a new one every few years.
Tonight, on stage at the USC auditorium, he is barefoot, just to make his point.
And the island he moved to, now that he has nothing, having abandoned all the toils and troubles of the world?
I lost all respect right then.

Some folks are under the impression that a store owner can just refuse service to anyone for any reason. That that is what America and the First Amendment is all about.
But that's not true. What America is all about is exactly the opposite.
You have the right to purchase goods and services from anyone, anywhere, no matter who you are and the accident of your birth.
That was the purpose of the Civil Rights Amendment back in 1964.
That no one could be told where to sit on a bus, or which water fountain to drink from, which restroom to use.
That no man be denied buying lunch, having his car repaired, or lodging for he and his pregnant wife at a hotel, based on his skin color, or his religion, or lack of one.
There was a court case up in Oregon where a Biker was suing because he was refused service for being biker. But that's not why he was being refused service. He was being refused service for being loud and obnoxious. That's what the court ruled.
Lately, many states have expanded those rights to guarantee service regardless of race, creed or color to include Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender. It seems like the only people that are really against this are Christian. They tend to see this as an attack on their Religion.
I'll go along with that when I hear about a Gay Florist refusing service to a Methodist.
The fact is....
They wonder aloud "Whatever happened to the right to refuse service"?
But they themselves have never been refused service.
I've never been refused service. Tell me how that works, because I might be a tad miffed if I went to a service station with a flat tire and was refused service because I was a woman, or black, or Muslim or was not a Christian, or FOR ANY REASON. Or because I was Gay.
There was a case in Colorado, where a Bakery denied service to a Gay couple who wanted a wedding cake from his shop. The Baker, a Christian of course, says it offends his religion to have to bake a cake for a Gay Wedding. I've got friends that agree, that think he has a right to refuse service on these grounds.
"Why can't they just go somewhere else for a cake?" they ask, those who have never been denied service.
Those who have never been in a minority.
"You boys look gay to me"
"Yes we are"
" I refuse to make a cake for you"
Well, me and my beloved are shattered. We really liked the big poo-poo's cakes, and what started out as joyous occasion has turned into a bag over the head punch in the face. Yes, we will go get a cake somewhere else, but we will also file a complaint against the big poo-poo.
The good thing is the courts see it this way too. The court in Colorado ruled that anyone who denies service based on sexual orientation will be fined.
We are all, as Americans, guaranteed a right to service regardless of race creed or color, and in many states regardless of our sexual orientation.
The tide, I think, has turned.
It is sometimes argued that if a Christian cake baker is compelled to bake a gay wedding cake, what would prevent a black cake baker from having to make a cake for an Aryan Nation Wedding with Swastka's on it.
Well, the judge in this case ruled on that as well. Click here and see pages 8 and 9.
As much as I admire the outcome of these cases, I especially enjoy the logic and language employed in the rulings:

I said "It doesn't hurt. As long as I don't get too carried away"
So I kinda eased up ya know, but I didn't say anything, or she'd have got all over me, and that would have been the end of that, if you know what I mean.
And so I showed him how I was up, with both arms locked like in the missionary position and I said "Well, I was watching TV, and I got up like this like I was going to do a push up, but I didn't do a push up, I just kinda stayed in this position because it felt good"
And he looks at me and says "And that feels good?"
"It doesn't hurt?"
"Well, you seem to be OK. Maybe it was just scar tissue"
I was pretty relieved.

I don't remember who it was that came to the house, could have been any one of us I reckon, but dad sat me down later to talk.
He liked to smoke his cigar when he talked all serious to me at the kitchen table. He would say three words
("You are judged…",
pause for effect, look at his cigar like it was a crystal ball, take puff and blow great clouds of smoke out, and as the smoke cleared, I would be looking him dead in the eye. He would say two more words
("by the…"),
his eyes would follow the smoke coming off the stogie making its way to the ceiling. I couldn't help but watch with him. Then, as punctuation, he would tap his cigar on the ashtray, and finally finish his thought
("…company you keep"),
which happened to be some new buddy with bad posture, a slouchy hat, long hair and bloodshot eyes.

text: Every business, no matter how new or successful, or how big or small, requires some kind of bookkeeping system, whether it's through a desktop software program or an established bookkeeping firm. But, is there a difference between a bookkeeper and an accountant? Do you need a bookkeeper and an accountant? The answer to both questions is yes. Each position holds a distinctive set of responsibilities, and a successful business should have both a bookkeeper and an accountant in the Sydney CBD.

One of the things that surprised me about being pregnant the most wasn't the swollen ankles, constant sickness or any of the other fun and slightly gruesome symptoms. No, it was other people and in particular middle-aged men – oddly enough.
From the day I began to properly show and it became obvious I was definitely pregnant and not just a bit more portly than usual, people began to make the most intrusive and ridiculous comments. The fact that strangers make comments and ask questions was not a total shock as there are plenty of blog posts, comedian's sketches and references in general pop culture about this. However, the fact that the worst culprits were middle-aged men who were complete strangers was not something I was prepared for.
A few examples?
A male cashier in a supermarket asking if I was married or if I was a girl in trouble.
A male colleague asking if I plan on breastfeeding whilst making squeezing motions with his hands against his chest.
Another male colleague saying that I was selfish if I did breastfeed as my boobs should only be for my husband.
Asked by a man in a hospital waiting room if I was planning on using curry or sex to ensure baby arrives on time.
Being asked what pain relief I plan on using so many times – being told an epidural was overkill and made me pathetic – being told that I was going to rip myself a new one and would need everything going – being told that if I took anything I would be being selfish and damaging my baby. All by men, who, coincidentally had NEVER given birth.
And my personal favourite; whilst enrolling a man's son at the college I work at the father asked me if I planned to deliver vaginally… and if so would I "be making" my husband watch? He then went on to explain that if I did I should expect him to cheat on me because it was "messed up" to expect any man to deal with that and not stray… Needless to say this man's son and I were both sat with our mouths open and looking totally confused by his comments.
These are just a few examples of the top of my head, the ones that stuck with me the most. Now you may ask why I have only picked on the comments made by men? Because there were definitely unwelcome comments from women as well, ones that made me stop in my tracks and my jaw drop. But the reason I am picking on the ones from men is how they made me feel, I will try to explain this.
Firstly, when a woman makes a comment generally I felt happy answering back in whatever tone matched my mood at the time. Also when a women made a comment it had usually followed a conversation with them about childbirth or rearing, so I assumed it was made from a place of concern or interest in being helpful (I know this is not always the case).
Secondly, when a man-made these comments it was always completely out of the blue – I had never preceded these events with a conversation about being pregnant. Why did they feel like they had the right to suddenly ask extremely personal questions?
The scariest part is that when these men made comments or asked questions I was alone, or the only other people around were with the man. This made me feel very vulnerable and in a few situations a bit scared to respond without receiving retaliation.
Surely, by now, people are starting to understand that it is not acceptable to ask personal questions or judge extremely personal things about another person. I mean, what if I walked up to the security guard in my local supermarket and asked him what sexual position he preferred most? Or if I asked a male colleague whether he preferred to hang his penis to the left or the right in his boxers? Or perhaps asking a bus driver if he intended to make his wife go with him to a painful and invasive hospital procedure for support, and if he was then explaining why he was a selfish twat. Do you think this behaviour would be acceptable to these men? Do you think that they would just smile sweetly and change the subject for fear of my reaction? No, I don't think so either.
So WHY is it still seen that pregnant women are almost public property? Why do you have the right to ask what I plan on doing with any part of my body? Why do you have the right to judge me for choosing one painkiller over another? Simply because I managed to grow a human inside me does not equate me to a vending machine that you get to poke and prod and input commands to your hearts desire in order to get a yummy goody out of me.
So from one woman to all the men (and women) out there, please, please do not ask or make invasive comments about a pregnant woman's body or what choices she may make. You may not be so lucky and get one who is be brave enough to bite back and not just whimper and run away. ALSO (and more importantly) you have no right to make those judgements or ask for that information.

Having just text and no other markup can be an advantage, because then you can control everything from the webpage. As such, I would not judge SRT to be of minor quality. It is clear that DFXP has a large number of features that SRT does not have and that professional subtitling/captioning requires, which is the reason for having both, DFXP and SRT file support as proposed baselines. I don't think we need to discuss DFXP and SRT here any further and would prefer we focus the discussion on smilText. >> From my perspective, SmilText or profile of DFXP (or both) would be best >> as >> a recommended caption-text format.

Why waste > time now on hauling SRT up through an RFC? Because it's a minimal effort and I can do it in an afternoon. How long will it take to create DFXP profiles? When can we expect a baseline DFXP profile that is as simple to implement as SRT? I think you are fighting something that will actually help the DFXP cause: once SRT support has been implemented into browsers and all the fundamental technical issues have been addressed, it will be easier to extend that to DFXP. Also, once people see SRT working in browsers, they will ask: so what about richer text presentations - can we get a richer format? This will all support the cause of DFXP. However, as long as there is no specification of DFXP that has been published as W3C recommendation, and as long as the simpler profiles have not been developed, you are fighting for something that is a moving target for the browser vendors and that is really difficult to implement completely. I think it would make sense to start working on profiles. That will hold back DFXP more than anything SRT will do. Best Regards, Silvia.Received on Saturday, 20 February 2010 04:35:25 UTC

We are pleased to announce the publication
of the most comprehensive and definitive anthology ever
of Debbie Friedman's music.
She is regarded as a prophet of our times;
and as the greatest Jewish singer-songwriter in history.
However you describe her life and legacy, Debbie Friedman ( z''l ) (1951 - 2011) gave us classic and timeless music, filled with peaceful and universal messages, that will forever be sung.
SING UNTO GOD: THE DEBBIE FRIEDMAN ANTHOLOGY is a tribute to her life and music, featuring every song she wrote and recorded (plus more than 30 songs previously unavailable) and insight into her incredible life.
SING UNTO GOD: THE DEBBIE FRIEDMAN ANTHOLOGY was published by the Friedman family along with the URJ. Edited by Joe Eglash with Cheryl Friedman, it features beautifully-engraved music (much of Debbie's catalog has never been transcribed to sheet music), her life story, tributes by respected peers and colleagues of Debbie, various handy indexes of her music, and much more.
The Friedman family is happy to share with you these unique recordings of Debbie writing or teaching some of the previously unpublished songs included in Sing Unto God. The demo recordings above have heretofore only been heard by Debbie's family. (Thanks to Jules Frankel for the Hava Nashira recordings.)

Bosnia to grant visa waiver
Bosnia and Herzegovina has decided to grant Republic of China passport holders visa-waiver privileges, bringing the number of countries and regions Taiwanese can visit without a visa or landing visa to 128, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said yesterday. Yaser Cheng (鄭泰祥), deputy director-general of the ministry's Department of European Affairs, said that the southeastern European country has not yet announced the maximum stay for visa-waiver visitors or the program's implementation date, but he expected it to do so soon. Separately, Cheng advised Taiwanese visitors to the UK to remain vigilant following a number of incidents in which tourists have encountered fake police officers who demanded to see their credentials and took their wallets.
Google map used in case
A judge recently used a Google map showing an unleashed dog as evidence a man was responsible for his neighbor's bike accident. The defendant, surnamed Lee (李), denied being the dog's owner and causing injury through negligence. The victim, surnamed Peng (彭), testified that he became scared after the dog began chasing him when he was riding his bicycle in July last year, as a result of which he fell and injured his forehead. Judge Song Kuo-chen said yesterday that a two-year-old Google Street View picture showed the dog standing in Lee's yard, which meant that Lee was its owner. The judge fined Lee NT$59,000.
Mercury hits year high
Temperatures of 36.2oC were recorded in Taipei yesterday, surpassing the year's previous high of 36.1oC on Tuesday, according to the Central Weather Bureau. The high was recorded at 11:57am, following days of sunny weather caused by a Pacific high pressure system. The weather pattern has affected the whole nation, with daily highs ranging between 30oC and 35oC, the bureau said. However, showers were likely later in the day in southern and southeastern regions because of an approaching tropical depression, the bureau said.
Airport numbers set record
The number of passengers passing though Taiwanese airports reached a 10-year high from January to May, the Ministry of Transportation and Communications said yesterday. The ministry said passenger traffic through the country's 17 airports, including three international ones, in the first five months of the year was 18.23 million, an increase of 13.9 percent from the same period last year and the highest in a decade. The number of passengers on international routes, including Hong Kong and Macau, was more than 9.53 million, up 10.9 percent year-on-year, ministry statistics showed. Air travel between Taiwan and China also increased in the first five months of the year, with passenger numbers rising 31.4 percent to more than 3.66 million year-on-year, the figures showed. The ministry attributed the increases in part to the creation of the "Northeast Asia Golden Aviation Circle" with direct flights from Taipei International Airport (Songshan) to Haneda International Airport in Tokyo, Hongqiao Airport in Shanghai and Gimpo Airport in Seoul. Passenger traffic at Songshan airport in the first five months of the year was 2.23 million, about 12.23 percent of the total, a ministry official said.
Youth agency launches draw
The government is offering prizes to young people who share pictures of their overseas exchange experiences in order to promote more international exchange activities, the National Youth Commission said yesterday. Young people are encouraged to share up to three photos from international exchanges such as volunteer programs, internships or working holidays, the commission said. A 140-word description should be attached to the pictures, the commission added. Not only will this campaign promote international exchanges, but it will also allow countries around the world to learn more about the many aspects of Taiwan, the commission said. A total of 43 prizes are up for grabs, with the winners being chosen at random. The prizes include cameras, luggage locks, suitcases, clothing and cellphone straps. All entries must be submitted before Aug. 31 and should be posted online via the iYouth (Youth International Exchange Information) Web site.

Refectory table – The antique dining table is the premier gathering place in our house. This is where families and friends gather to eat, play games, laugh, speak, and enjoy each other's company. We have become part of its rich history. The story grows with time and passes from one generation to the next. When I look through a rather tangled wood and wear an uneven foot, I can imagine when I'm new, like a clean leaf ready for the writer to start writing an interesting novel. The round tip seamlessly reminds many, who in the past, have added their wear and tear.
How different daily lives should live in past and different cultures. An antique refectory table is a common thread that enters our life that binds us together with those who have gone before and those who will come after that. Material, style, and workmanship are windows originally. For example, table background back to medieval times and is the safest type of dining table. The top is made of long wood planks located on top of the trestle and can be unloaded and moved to give space to other activities.
6 Photos Gallery of: Antique Refectory Table
Inside the 16th century lunch table grew. This is a more permanent table make of oak or walnut. The lengthening tables become increasingly popular throughout Europe. The basic table was built in the early 18th century. This is usually round, but can be square or oblong and distinguished by one, center column or cylinder support. The antique refectory table is not just furniture. It touches our lives and we become a chapter in a long and lasting history. We are the guardians to maintain and appreciate it. Then we proceed to the next chapter to write.

In the black and red corner
Totally new team built round the Manor Motorsport squad which had previously been very successful in minor league single-seater racing, most notably Formula 3. Propelled into F1 on the back of Virgin boss Sir Richard Branson's belief that he could do a better job than the Brawn (now Mercedes) squad which carried Jenson Button to the world championship. Some hope.
Countdown to lift-off
Team established only just before the end of last season and personnel have been working flat out behind the scenes to get the factory up and running and the cars built in time for at least some pre-race testing.
Just don't mention
That the front wing fell off only a few laps into the car's first pre-season test at the Jerez circuit in Spain, halting the session as they had no spare as back-up. Embarrassing.
Change is good
Another team doing their best to show that the new rules designed to reduce F1 budgets can provide a worthwhile opportunity for them to elbow their way into the F1 business. Team principal John Booth is a seasoned racer with more than 20 years of experience in the sport.
Stands out in a crowd
Nick Wirth, once Benetton's chief designer, has shaped this car using computational fluid dynamics - that's without using a wind tunnel. He believes that this way will lead to more consistent and predictable handling. Some of his rivals think he is a clever dick who will find out pretty quickly that not using a wind tunnel was a very big mistake.
Most likely to crash into
Campos Meta, although if the Spanish newcomers go bust before the first race of the season, they won't have to. As a Cosworth-powered debutant, Virgin will be measuring themselves against the rival Lotus squad. And it will be tough for them to outperform Messrs Trulli and Kovalainen.
Pitboard message
Where did you hide that spare front wing?
Who pulls the strings
Wirth likes things done his way while Booth is a safe pair of steadying hands. He might need to be given Branson's reputation as a man who wants to be the centre of attention in any situation.
Cockpit compatibility
Would have thought the highly rated Timo Glock, who was occasionally very quick indeed at the wheel of a Toyota, will outperform Lucas di Grassi from the outset. However, there is nothing like mutual interest to get drivers pooling their knowledge and resources and these two will be aiming to make as much progress as possible up the grid in as short a time as possible.
What's in the boot
Richard Branson did not get rich by spending money, so the team will be practising what it preaches by keeping costs under control. Like all the other newcomers – and established squads such as Williams – their performance will depend on just how good the latest Cosworth engine turns out to be and how adept a computer can be at designing a racing car.
Tiger in the tank
Even the other cynical teams in the pit lane think the new Virgin is a tidy looking machine with a degree of promise, although it's about four seconds off the pace if its initial testing times are anything to go by. Otherwise, nothing special.
Tweet this
This Virgin sharpens penknife for first notch on the bedpost.
Not this
Designed by computer, driven by automatons.
Title odds
If they were an iPhone app
Wise Buddha
Lessons for times of pressure if a limelight hungry boss gets cranky when the photo opportunities dry up: 'Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.' Also offers serenity now when the wheels, not literally, start coming off. 'It is better to travel well than to arrive' soothes the soul and would be perfect advice if travelling well was not going to be so problematic.
The drivers
1. Timo Glock, 27, Germany
He's the one who
Models his eyebrows on Chris de Burgh and his hair on Worzel Gummidge. He called German police last month to protest about his house being snowballed by children. The phone was answered by an officer called Michael Schumacher and both refused to believe that the other was not taking the piss.
On track for
A couple of second places in the past two seasons promised much but this unpretentious and prudent driver was let down by Toyota's farcical, capricious and profligate spell in Formula One. Unlikely to give beardie Branson the type of publicity coup he craves.
In another life he'd be
Making you retch with his greatest hit, the Lady in Red, before demanding an ASBO for your kids.
2. Luca di Grassi, 25, Brazil
He's the one who
Is the epitome of the well-educated, middle-class, dapper Brazilian that is fast becoming an F1 stereotype just as much as the cadre of serious-faced Germans. Sports the charm and good looks of one of Adrian Lester's sidekicks in the BBC's Hustle franchise, not startling the horses and hovering around the fringes of the action.
On track for
Tested for Renault and worked with Manor in F3 so he knows and is trusted by the team. He did well in GP2 without dominating or, indeed, winning all that much but has the intelligence and ingenuity not to get caught up in midfield skirmishes if his car can get him that far up the field.
In another life he'd be
Haloed by a ring of confidence in a 70s Colgate toothpaste commercial.

In this essay, the British curator and art critic Guy Brett traces the linkage between the different phases that made up the artistic career of Brazilian artist Lygia Clark. From her Neo-Constructivist paintings and sculptures made in the late 1950s to the articulated objects of the 1960s, and from the participatory experiences based on sensory perception that she organized in the 1970s to, finally, her practice of psychotherapy and healing that took place in the 1980s, Brett skillfully interprets the different chapters in Clark's life as experiments that change our perception of what an art object is and what it can accomplish for the spectator. He contextualizes in ingenious ways the development of Clark's works beginning with the Modernist program of the 1920s in Brazil, which she surely inherited, leading up to the avant-garde movements and ideas that flourished in the 1950s. Writing about the general importance of looking carefully and closely at Lygia Clark's work, Brett mentions that "she, like her contemporary [Hélio] Oiticica, embodies an intricate and reciprocal relationship between the international and the local in culture which resulted in an important reorientation of the avant-garde."
This document is part of The Adolpho Leirner Collection of Brazilian Constructive Art at The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
The London-based art critic and curator, Guy Brett (born 1942), played a major role in introducing a generation of Brazilian Concrete and Neo-Concrete artists to European and American audiences. (For other examples of his writings, consult documents #1232285 and #1232349.) A case in point is this essay published in Art in America in 1994 about the artistic career of Lygia Clark (1920–1988). As Brett declares in his opening lines, before this essay Clark had not been introduced to American audiences. In fact, this is one of the few essays that, by the mid-1990s, had been published in English about Clark's work (see also #1232662). Not long after this article was printed, the journal October published a special Lygia Clark dossier edited by Yve-Alain Bois in 1994.
Some of the works and series discussed in this essay include: the Borrachas [Rubber Grub] series, 1960s; the Bichos [Critters, translated here as Animals] series, 1960s; Ar e pedra [Air and Stone], 1966; Máscara sensorial [Sensorial Hood], 1967; O eu e o tu: roupa/corpo/roupa [The I and the You: Clothing/Body/Clothing], 1967; Baba antropofágica [Anthropophagous Drool], 1973; and the "Relational Objects" she used in her psychotherapy sessions starting in the mid-1970s. Furthermore, the essay is illustrated with black and white as well as color photographs of some of her most important works, including an installation view of the special room dedicated to her oeuvre at the XXXIV Venice Biennial in 1968. (For a document related to the Brazilian participation in this exhibition, see #1232444.)

Leakage is the result of buyer and seller agreeing to exchange payment information outside of the marketplace. In these cases, if the marketplace's business model includes a percentage of each transaction, the marketplace experiences leakage – loses money.
Here are the top 5 ways to prevent leakages in an online marketplace:
- Maintaining the "best" users – Don't let just anyone sell on your platform. Form and follow a vetting process on all registration attempts – requiring references, implementing review/rating policies (crowdsource quality)…
- Offer insurance and guarantees – Freelance platforms like Fiverr and Upwork do this very well. These platforms hold escrow of the project fees, do not release the funds until the customer approves the job, and therefore protects you from getting burned.
- Be definite when punishing users who break the T/C's, and let other sellers know about it – The other way to help ensure those selling on your platform do not go direct is to kick them off indefinitely when they do go direct. I would go as far as notifying the other experts (use a nag screen when they log in) of the incident and the repercussions. A step further would be adding a machine learning content delivery system to the site and emails so you can serve dynamic unique content to each user as they browse (check out boomtrain or getblueshift.com).
- Engagement campaigns using relevant retargeting – Track what your customers buy, what content they view, who engages with what type of profile tags… using an event-data and messaging provider like Clevertap or AgileCRM so you can supply relevant messaging back to your users based on their interactions with your content and steps in the funnel.
- Be the largest – If you have the most ______, users will always come back to you before going elsewhere. Constantly recruit/market to add new users to your platform. Keep your vetting systems in place, and only show the reviewed profiles to cold traffic, but have all of your profiles be searchable on a directory page.
But it's important to clarify whom you mean by "customers" – Marketplaces have two+ customer types. Depending on your business model, you may actually monetize both in separate ways (i.e charging one a fee, and running ads at the other), or simply monetize the transaction. Traditional P2P marketplaces offer a medium where a safe (and sometimes even insured) transaction can take please with ease. In return for providing this platform and intro, you take a share of each the transaction (either flat fee or percentage). So in this case, your "customers" are both user types. You require both parties to make money.
Marketplaces like Thumbtack are getting more creative with the way they charge and turning their suppliers into their customers by charging them a fee to reply to their potential customers quote requests through the platform. In this case, their customers are the service people. But they still require both sides to make their money (a bid solicitation step is necessary).
Regardless of your business model, if you are in fact a "marketplace", and not the seller or customer yourself, then you will need to retain both user types.
In the end, a niche platform with the most professional and engaged users will not have a difficult time controlling leakage.
I hope this helps.

Coupons and incentives are a crucial part of the shopping culture of today. If a consumer can get a discount of a product at one store, they are not going to pay full price at another. As consumers are looking for the best deal, marketers have to be smart about how to promote these deals to consumers. The days of the weekly mailer are long gone. Consumers do not remember that they got a coupon for a department store that is only good for two weeks. They remember when they are near or even in the store. This is why location targeting for mobile advertising is the best way to reach these deal searching customers.
If a consumer sees an ad as part of their in-app experience that explains this nearby coffee shop is giving away a grande coffee for a tall price, they are more likely to go into that coffee shop. Putting the deal in front of nearby potential consumers is the best way to use incentives to drive sales. However, just because a consumer is near a particular retail location does not mean they are the perfect consumer for your product. Location data providers are working with companies to add additional data points to their solutions to provide even greater targeting. Webbula specializes in providing deterministic data with a focus on data quality, and our demographic data is why location data providers are working with companies like ours. This additional targeting help companies directly reach their ideal customer when they have arrived at the ideal location.
This is why Webbula's industry-leading Audience Targeting solution can give our customers the data they need to make these location-based ads more powerful and successful. Our data comes from a multitude of sources including publisher partners, surveys, transactional events, social media, and other individualistic sources. Once Webbula receives the data, we apply our CloudHygiene technology to mitigate fraud and then we score the data for accuracy. Our data is tied to mobile IDS and cookies that are ready for targeted campaigns.
One example of what Webbula's data can assist with was a campaign with a national spirits brand. This brand purchased a billboard in a new, up and coming neighborhood known for popular and trendy bars. The goal of the brand was to target mobile users around this billboard to drive awareness and sampling of their new vodka brand. Since this is a liquor brand, all consumers that were targeting for their campaign were required to be at least 21 or over to see this ad. By partnering with a DSP that has access to Webbula's deterministic data, they have the confidence that their ads are only being shown to the right audience. Furthermore, they can narrow down their target audience by gender, income, profession and more.
Location data targeting is a powerful tool. By adding additional data sets like demographics or even interest data, location targeting can become even more powerful. Webbula is partnering with these data providers and others to make data more relevant to consumers and advertisers alike.

Many buildings require steel reinforced concrete beams, designed to withstand the loads imposed by the fabric of the structure, furniture and occupants. In many instances, prestressed concrete is used, which combines high tensile steel with concrete to create an incredibly strong beam. This is vital, as using just concrete in a beam means it may bend and deflect, which could result in the concrete breaking. This could result in catastrophic failure of the structure.
Step 1
Fix the rods of steel to the tensile machinery, which will stretch them. Arrange the rods in two layers of an equal number, such as three rods above, three rods beneath.
Step 2
Build formwork around the steel rods, ensuring that the rods will run through the center of the concrete beam.
Step 3
Pour concrete into the formwork, ensuring all the steel is covered. Allow the concrete to cure for a few days.
Step 4
Release the steel rods from the machinery, and transport the beam to the desired location.

Franz Ferdinand's Alex Kapranos slams Hackney Council after introduction of strict licensing laws
"It will rip the soul out of the area".
Franz Ferdinand frontman Alex Kapranos has led the backlash against Hackney Council after it imposed strict new licensing laws on the borough's bars and nightspots.
The new rules were passed on Wednesday night and will restrict new venues in areas including Dalston and Shoreditch from opening past 11pm on weeknights and midnight on weekends.
But it has faced direct backlash from campaigners who say that it risks killing off nightlife in the capital.
"Very disappointed with proposals from @hackneycouncil to cripplingly restrict licensing hours and conditions", Kapranos wrote on Twitter.
"It will rip the soul out of the area and is overwhelmingly opposed by local residents. Please reconsider."
He was backed by Plastician, who described it as "awful news".
"Awful news here once again", he wrote.
"Hackney clamping down on future venues essentially making it pointless to open a night time establishment there."
Hackney Council has since defended the decision, claiming that current licensing rules are "out of date and need renewing".
Councillor Emma Plouviez told the Evening Standard: "Without these steps to manage our nightlife, we face a potential situation where the committee could be forced to approve late licences for venues that are completely unsuitable and will have a huge impact on residents' lives."
A protest against the ruling is being held next Friday (July 27) outside Hackney Town Hall at 12pm.

Capitol Alert
CSU eliminates remedial classes in push to improve graduation rates
Aiming to help thousands of students who get sidetracked in developmental courses that don't count toward their degrees, California State University will do away next year with traditional remedial education.
In an executive order issued Wednesday night, Chancellor Timothy White directed the 23-campus system to overhaul by fall 2018 its curriculum for students found to be unprepared for college-level English and math. About 39 percent of CSU's incoming freshmen, or 25,000 students, are required to take remedial classes for no credit before they can begin their general education.
University officials argue this is no longer the right approach in an era of mounting concerns over college affordability. They have already undertaken an ambitious plan to more than double four-year graduation rates to 40 percent by 2025.
"The idea that students have to take courses that don't count toward their degree costs them money and costs them time," said James Minor, senior strategist for academic success and inclusive excellence at CSU.
Minor added that the separate remediation track sends an "unintended message" to students, many of whom get discouraged that are they not progressing toward their ultimate goal of graduation. Nearly 3,300 freshmen who entered in fall 2015 did not complete their remedial classes and were ineligible to return to school.
"It really invites first-generation students to question whether or not they really belong in college," Minor said.
The order leaves it to campuses to decide how they will meet the new curriculum policy, but all students can expect to earn credit starting their first day. Freshmen who would usually be directed to developmental English or math will instead enroll in the same general education classes as their peers, but they might receive additional tutoring or take the course at a slower pace, stretched over multiple semesters. A summer program for incoming freshmen who need extra preparation will be redesigned to count for credit.
CSU also plans to eliminate the placement tests it used to determine students' readiness for college-level work. Skills assessments will instead be based on high school grades and standardized test scores.
"Placement exams are not the most reliable indicator of how students will perform in the classroom," Minor said.

Chromebooks have been picking the pace and with the introduction of Android apps for ChromeOS, the adoption rate is only expected to go higher. HP has unveiled a new Chromebook lineup that would leverage the capability to run Android apps.
The HP Chromebook 11 G5 runs Android app and also embraces a touchscreen display, a first for Chromebook. The touch-enabled display is expected to bring in a whole new level of possibilities especially after considering the fact that Android apps and games were originally meant for smartphones with a touch screen.
The HP Chromebook 11 G5 comes fitted with an 11.6-inch display set at a resolution of 1,366 x 768 resolution and will draw the power from Intel Celeron N3060 Braswell processor. Furthermore, the Chromebook will be available in both 2GB RAM/16GB Internal Storage and 4GB RAM/32GB Storage. Just like most of the previous Chromebooks, the G5 is light at 2.6 pounds and is expected to return a battery life of up to 12.5-hours. On the connectivity front, the laptop heralds with Bluetooth 4.2, USB 3.1 ports, HDMI 1.4 port, microSDXC card slot and a usual 3.5-mm audio jack.
At this point of time, it is only Asus Flip Chromebook that is allowing its users to access the Android apps and considering the fact that Google is still working to make it compatible across the Chromebook line-up it's just a matter of sooner or later. HP has also managed to keep the base prices for the G5 Chromebook low, at $189 the Chromebook just makes so much more sense. The caveat, however, is that the touchscreen is optional and would cost a premium over the base variant. The HP Chromebook G5 will be available across select HP retail partners starting from this October.

It seems like for over a year now, our family has been in transition. First, we walked through the slow process of pregnancy with Alisa. Nine months of surprises and unexpected complications brought us to a sweet ending at her birth. We brought home our sweet-smelling, pink baby girl with fuzzy blonde hair last November, and we began to adjust to life as a family of four. Those early months of her life were filled with joy over her life, grief over her diagnosis, and concern over her health. I have already stored up in my heart many treasured memories from that time.
Not too many months into her life, though, we felt God calling us to open our home to another foster child. We had placed our home as inactive throughout my pregnancy, so we did what was necessary to reopen our home again for fostering. Early in March, we received the call we had anticipated: a little two-year old boy needed a home, a family. We talked it over, prayed with our then 4-year old, and decided it was the right time to say "yes." Our little buddy showed up smiling and barely talking that early spring night, and our new transition came as we began adjusting to life as a family of five.
We live in an older, larger two-story home, and I can honestly tell you that while I have thoroughly enjoyed our time here, we knew in early spring that we needed to find a smaller one-story home for our family. Suffice it to say, it is a lot of work keeping up with three young children in a two-story house, and I was tired! So without much of a plan, we put our home on the market, and thus began another season of transition. We went through the process of many showings, and pretty quickly, we secured a contract on our home. Unfortunately, the buyer backed out of that contract, and we began again the process of showing and waiting. Not too long after, though, we entered into a contingent contract with our buyer. Her home secured a contract fairly quickly, and our closing date was set for mid-June.
That season of transition was very crazy. In the midst of trying to decide if we should by or rent next, I was busy with many doctors, specialists, and therapy appointments for Alisa and our foster son. On top of that, packing with three young children underfoot is almost an impossible task! We finally settled on a home to rent until we found the home we wanted to buy, and our closing date approached. However, the day before our closing, just one hour before we were to sign the lease on our rental home, the couple who was to purchase our buyer's home — so that she could then buy our home — breeched their contract and backed out completely! Everyone was baffled, frustrated, and overwhelmed.
There is an important detail to it all, though. That very same day we were to sign the lease, my husband had received a phone call that morning about a job opening in another city. We had no idea what to do, as we were selling our home the next day and signing a year lease on a rental home. Little did we know that later that day, the sell of our home would come to an abrupt halt. Little did we know that the great frustration and upheaval of all of our plans would actually bring about a greater transition and a sweeter plan than what we could have ever imagined.
Now, here we are today, a little over five weeks removed from that frustrating time when our home did not sell. Tomorrow, we will be loading all of our earthly possessions into a moving truck, and we will be relocating to a new city, a new job, a new season of life.
This last transition is a huge one. We are leaving what has been our home for the last 6.5 years. Trey and I moved here in March 2010. Just the two of us, we could still taste the freshness of our newlywed days. We moved into the parsonage on a Saturday, and it snowed heavily that night. We walked across the street the next morning with snow crunching under our feet, and we were warmly welcomed by our new church family. It was our first church together, Trey's first full-time ministry job as a married man.
A lot can happen in 6.5 years. We purchased our first pets, our dogs Pete and Dapple. We became parents, falling pregnant later that year with our firstborn daughter, Kate. We then endured many years of unexplained infertility. We bought our first home. We became foster parents, and the footprints of many little lives who have entered our home are now stamped forever on our hearts. We became pregnant again to our second-born daughter, and then we became special-needs parents.
The years have been full. We have laughed; we have cried; we have danced; we have mourned. We have buried loved ones. We have seen friends come and go. We have made mistakes; we have mended relationships. We have faced lifelong strongholds, battling them out before the Lord, and we have seen Him work healing wonders in our hearts.
I look back, and in hindsight, I see now that some things I felt so huge were really not such big events in the grand scheme of things. I recall the many worries I carried, the fears and the doubts, and I realize that I often wasted energy and time on nothing at all.
I recall words I have said, and I know now that if I had a redo, I would not have spoken so many words. But I remember other instances, other moments with people, and I know I should have said more words. Life is not for regrets, though, so I have settled in my heart to leave those things behind. It will do no good to wish we had a redo. We will take the lessons and make them purposeful. We will learn from our mistakes. We will grow.
We leave behind us many treasured friendships, which will not end though distance grows more. We leave behind a church family that has loved us deeply and cared for us thoroughly. With gratitude, we praise God for the wisdom and investment those of our church have poured into us.
We close this chapter of our lives with joy and with sadness. Forever we are changed by our time here. In this transition, we thank the Lord for those of you we leave behind. Thank you for bearing with us while we've grown. Thank you for your grace when we have made mistakes, and thank you for your encouragement when we have needed it most. And because I couldn't say it better, we will join the Apostle Paul in his words:
"I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. And I am sure of this, that He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. It is right for me to feel this way about you all, because I hold you in my heart, for you are all partakers with me of grace…" —Philippians 1:3-7

Some things never go out of style, and that includes the rules for great content. Almost seven years ago, before content marketing was really a "thing," The Content Factor published a piece about writing white papers. I often think that we should update it. Yet, whenever I read it, I am amazed at how relevant.

These last months of situations and last years of in one sense losses in my life have lead to a somewhat sound sense of what death means to me. Be it the little death or a shedding of skins that leads to new possibilities of horizons, le petit morte which is definitely not as bad as it sounds, the death of body of loved ones and even my own mortality. Death can be both beautiful and positive as it can be upsetting causing deep emotions of grief and loneliness. So a half poem half text dedicated to all these myriad moments where one reality it shedded and let go for a new one.
Hiding from feeling anything
And yet not hiding at all
am i in shock or denial,
Intense pain or exuberant freedom
that is intoxicating every cell of my body.
Shedding the skins of bounderies and hurts past
for a radiant glistening skin
i am human, i am myself again
i am feeling and analytical and living
I am my loves and i am my friends
I am all that is my family
There is no we anymore, no second heart to care for
Only my own, which seems to be a busy place
I miss your heart and realize i am surrounded by them
Valhalla that is my heart where loved ones reside,
by choosing to feel intensely i open myself to love
and pain in equal measure,
Not to love is no life at all
Valhalla of my heart where you reside
Grandpas, grandmas, my beloved uncle,
father, mother, brother and cousins
Valhalla that is my heart with open doors to another world
of acceptance and love, closeness, longing and desire.
Existing and believing we are worth our deepest most profound dreams
Thankful to the man who showed me love exists,
and to another who showed me what is could become,
to the others who have touched my soul with your grace
others who brought pain so bad as to make me renew myself.
Valhalla that is my hurt hurting with continual expansion,
yet feeling at peace with its new metamorphosed existance,
Friends who are like stable rocks, new ones like family you never had.
Old ones who have become brothers and sisters
and a cousin who for eternity will be a mix of these all.
People keep you company on the road fo life,
taking you down the highway with its easy access and flow
At times down a hidden forgotten path
with obstacles that befuddle you and keep you lost
until miraculously you find the main road leading continuously
into the near or far future where i will also rest.
But for now touching every now and again the love that resides in my heart.

The Mets' star outfielder Yoenis Cespedes is unlikely to re-sign when he becomes a free agent.
The New York Mets are unlikely to re-sign star outfielder Yoenis Cespedes when he becomes a free agent this off-season, reports ESPN's Adam Rubin.
Cespedes was traded from the Detroit Tigers to the Mets just minutes before the 2015 trade deadline in exchange for pitching prospects Michael Fulmer and Luis Cessa. In his 57 games in New York, he hit 17 home runs with 44 RBIs while leading his team to the NL East title and eventually the National League pennant.
The Mets are expected to offer Cespedes to return, but will likely not provide a large enough contract to entice him to stay. Cespedes has publicly said he would like to stay in New York, but will reportedly seek a minimum six-year contract via free agency after spending the last two years with four different teams.
Mets infielder Daniel Murphy will also be a free agent this off-season. Despite being crowned NLCS MVP after homering in a postseason-record seven straight games, he is also not expected to re-sign with the team.
The Mets lost Sunday night's game, ceding the World Series title to the Kansas City Royals.

Hipstamatic Developers Announce oggl, Their Social Photo Stream
Hipstamatic has been a bit of an odd duck on the App Store. While it was one of the first photo apps to gain a strong following, it has already been used to take over two billion photos. But, it has been somewhat forgotten now that social sharing has taken center stage. Don't get me wrong, it still has a large and very vocal following, and also a very creatively talented following, but it doesn't have the mindshare of an app like Instagram. Somewhat forgotten even though it's still going strong with over four million monthly users. The reason for it losing mindshare could be that Hipstamatic lacks an integrated social stream like Instagram and others. Well, that is until oggl is released later this week.
Instagram was a great idea, and a very wonderful creative stream of photos, for a short while anyway. But now it's filled with duck faces, selflies, and bad pictures of food. While oggl is open to anyone, it is expected that it will maintain a much higher quality clientele than what is currently seen in Instagram. While Instagram is mean to share, oggl is mean to inspire. Some of the artists on there already are truly astonishing.
Expected to be on the App Store on Thursday, oggl takes the high quality filter system that Hipstamatic pioneered and adds a sharing community on top of it. They do this for free, ad-free, and the artists retain full rights to their photos. How can they do this? Add-ons of course. The Hipstamatic community is pretty crazy for new lenses and films, the add-ons that add new effects to photos in Hipstamatic. So you can buy them in Hipstamatic and access them in oggl, or you can subscribe to oggl for $0.99/month or $9.99/year and get access to all of the lenses and films ever made.
Now the bad news, oggl will be granting access slowly, over time to those that request it at http://oggl.com/. The slowed down access is to ensure that the service quality isn't degraded as it ramps up. So, head over there now and request access.
This is an interesting move, if not completely unexpected one for Hipstamatic. It should be a great community for photographers and creative types. That is if they can keep the duck faces to a minimum.

I'd say 10 weeks out I'm at 90%. The groin area no longer really bothers me, it's my lower back and left glute. Over the last few weeks even those issues have subsided. I can definitely see a day in the not too distant future where I can again run, full speed, pain free. That's a great feeling that I had no hope of 11 weeks ago.
Playing soccer three times a week and running 2-3 miles and speed work on other days. I still need to do quite a bit of stretching, but things are definitely looking on the up and up.

We had a great weekend full of family and friends and celebrating. We hosted Liv's birthday on our back deck on Saturday afternoon, and while it was a little prickly and cold outside, the outdoor fireplace and heater helped to warm things up.
I'll try to get to more of the details of the party in future posts (like the easy little favor pouches a friend helped me throw together last minute and some of the ribbon/tissue paper details we're keeping around to reuse in Liv's future big girl room), but here's a little wrap up of the event:
We served heavy appetizers, berry lemonade, and an overstacked strawberry shortcake for dessert. My favorites included my mom's delicious potato and corn chowder soup in our white coffee mugs, cheesy homemade macaroni for the kiddies, BBQed teriyaki chicken & pineapple skewers, toasted ricotta and chive bites (with pomegranate seeds to look like little flowers), and roasted tomato, cream cheese & poppyseed bruschetta. All served atop pretty floral fabric that I found here.
I found adorable plastic milk bottles online for the kids to enjoy their berry lemonade (easy and almost spill proof). The invites and sweet little signs for the event were by this Etsy artist (I loved working with Katrina, I highly recommend). Oh and I cannot forget – this is my favorite source for paper lanterns! At roughly $1.30 a pop it's impossible not to cover a room in a dozen of them (which it's hard to see from the photos, but the outside patio is).
I snapped a few photos as everyone was arriving and before it got too crazy…
We purposefully scheduled the party for post-naptime for Liv and all of her little friends… but guess who didn't nap all day? Good thing all of the excitement kept her busy!
One of Liv's presents from mommy and daddy was a finished sand box! More details on this to come but we actually built it right into the deck. The kids loved it.
I opted for an easy dessert this year since we were hosting the party at our house and I knew there would be so much to do (thanks mom and dad for all of your help! We owe you). But the strawberry shortcake fit in great with the rest of the decor and it was a tasty treat for kids and parents alike. We even used these little cups and wooden spoons to serve up the cake in a manageable size for the little ones.
An awkward photo of my but a cute instagram pic of Liv getting ready to blow out her candles (and her little cupcake hat :)).
Liv thought that the strawberries and whipped cream were most delicious (and amazingly, since it was so chilly, the entire dessert stayed assembled with no melting whatsoever).
By the time we opened presents, the sun had finally crawled out of sight and all children were decently tired out. But what a fun day!!
More on the invites and the inspiration for the party here and here. And just for fun, Liv's first birthday linked right here (with my favorite red and white striped DIY tablecloth :)).

It's not that uncommon these days to see musicians branching into the business world to acquire more income streams. However one bloke out of our hometown of Melbourne is doing a lot more than just starting a business. Chris Ferre is into so many things right now, I have no idea how he does it. We caught up with him to chat about his new bizzo, his new band and his new sport.

Vintage touches
I love all the vintage feel of parties I have been seeing this year! Hopefully this collection will help inspire you to add a little vintage Frosting to your next party/event!
This tabletop is pulling on my heart strings! I love the vintage frames (just spray paint a filler board or even the glass with chalkboard paint!)
Steal this wedding idea... runners of lace on your table cloth would add that little touch of elegant vintage to your table!
Look closely!!! These are coffee filter flowers! How beautiful (and inexpensive!) are these?!?
Source and tutorial
the perfect dessert touch are these doily cupcake wrappers! They are made from inexpensive doilies you can pick up at the dollar store! If you aren't having cupcakes, use them as snack cups or to hold sugar packets, etc.

With the holidays looming, retailers are bustling to get ready for the most important selling season of the year. But here at iProspect, we have been seeing some interesting organic trends in the retail space that could make this holiday more profitable than ever before. With the explosive growth in the volume of content and data points, it's no surprise that Google is finding more effective ways to send consumers to retail sites; and initial performance indicates that the outcome is mutually beneficial to both the consumer and the retailer.
Over the past six months, we have been watching the development of an ongoing trend that has the potential to affect all retail sites, but which has gone largely unnoticed by the industry media. Analyzing the traffic and conversation data of a sample set of Fortune 500 retail sites, we saw that while organic traffic is declining, revenue is rising. While, at the surface, this trend indicates that the quality of traffic being sent to these retailer sites is more qualified, the shift was notable enough to warrant further investigation. Questions we wanted answers to included:
As internal conversations progressed and clients began asking more questions of their own, our team dug further into the data to get to the bottom of the story.
The Data: Retail SEO Performance
Intending to use the power of numbers to unlock this irregularity, we dove into the organic performance data for six different retail sites. Each of these sites had seen traffic declines, but had also seen fairly significant increases in revenue. The graph below shows traffic and revenue numbers comparing Q2 April to June of 2016 to same months in 2015.
Changing Landscape
There have recently been some notable changes to the SERP that have affected organic rankings, and these undoubtedly played a role in the decrease of traffic to these retail sites. Some of the major contributors were the local 3-pack change, the addition of the 4th ad, and the expanded text ads. All of these changes reduced the visibility of organic in different ways, but confirmed that Google is moving toward a more "mobile-first" experience, even on desktop.
These changes in the SERP validate the drop in traffic (especially when a large percentage of traffic is driven by localized intent to find a store), but that didn't explain how these retailers were maintaining and growing their revenue. Looking at the universal rankings of these retail sites, we found that local 3-pack, places, and quick-answer queries had massively increased in volume starting around January of this year. In layman's terms, these brands are now present and visible in more search mediums than ever before, and – because those universal positions are more tailored to user intent – traffic coming from them is more qualified.
What Does This Mean?
Brands now have access to more touchpoints than ever before with the ability to be present across a dynamic content landscape of blended results. And most importantly, these touchpoints are more qualified as they appear tailored and nuanced to an individual, thus conveying more authenticity. Brands are discoverable via a multitude of search mediums including local, video, quick answers, images, apps, and more. This breadth of opportunity puts the onus on retailers to consistently be visible at all the critical moments, whenever and wherever their target consumers choose to search during their digital journey. Retailers can take advantage of this by:
In summary, the declining traffic appears to be coming from less qualified queries, a loss which does not pose a threat to our retailers. What is now apparent more than ever before is the level of granularity that search engines can display in the listings. Search engine evolutions like Hummingbird and Rank Brain have paved the way for a more custom, personalized experience that ensures all types of unique content are visible to users. Based on our findings, retailers are just now seeing the shift in organic performance.
A special thanks to Erika Karas, Yas Haque, Heather Hamrick and Andrea Zide who quickly worked together to pull some insightful data.
