Friday was a great day for justice. A corrupt mayor, who had been getting public money from the city he was suppose to work for, got busted. According to the ABC News:
"Federal prosecutors today announced a 21-count indictment against former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, accused of enriching himself as the city struggled to rebuild in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Nagin is accused of using the office of mayor to steer city projects to business associates who, in turn, allegedly paid kickbacks and bribes and flew him on lavish free trips to Hawaii, Jamaica, and Las Vegas. Nagin was charged with bribery, honest service wire fraud, money laundering, conspiracy and filing false tax returns."
So does this teach us that crime doesn't pay? Close. It teaches you that crime doesn't pay if you are a mere local politician. But if you are the Pentagon, the rules are entirely different.
"The Government Accountability Office said Thursday that it could not complete an audit of the federal government, pointing to serious problems with the Department of Defense… 'The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) cannot render an opinion on the 2012 consolidated financial statements of the federal government because of widespread material internal control weaknesses, significant uncertainties, and other limitations," the agency said. 'As was the case in 2011, the main obstacles to a GAO opinion on the accrual-based consolidated financial statements were: Serious financial management problems at the Department of Defense (DOD) that made its financial statements unauditable. The federal government's inability to adequately account for and reconcile intragovernmental activity and balances between federal agencies. The federal government's ineffective process for preparing the consolidated financial statements.'"
Now, I'll grant, this report doesn't a list of people who lined their pockets. But don't be fooled. The fact that the books can't be reconciled is because money went into secret places. This wasn't lost in the couch; it lined someone's pockets. For two years in a row now, the military has not been able to present financial statements that can be audited.
Let's remember, this goes way back. The day before 9-11-2001, the Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld announced that the Defense budget had lost $2.3 trillion. He called it "a matter of life and death," but no one saw it that way the next day. The problem seemed to only get worse through the following years.
Furthermore, now it is not just the Pentagon. The Department of Homeland Security is copying the Pentagon's procedure:
"Along with the Pentagon, the GAO cited the Department of Homeland Security as having problems so significant that it was impossible for investigators to audit it. The DHS got a qualified audit for fiscal year 2012, and is seeking an unqualified audit for 2013. The report released by the GAO on Friday indicates serious accounting problems at two of the largest government agencies: the Pentagon and the Department of Homeland Security. The Department of Defense has a net cost of $799.1 billion to the federal budget, while the Department of Homeland Security has a net cost of $48.7 billion."
So, when you see small politicians prosecuted by a Federal Agency, you can be happy that they didn't get away with it. But you can also be pretty sure that some much bigger crime is being overlooked.
Once you get higher up the Federal food chain, the crooks are too big to jail.

Dr. Howard Short Case Study
Video Transciption
Dr. Howard Short: I didn't even know what a chiropractor was when I was younger. My parents were medically oriented; my dad being a surgeon, my mom is an RN. I had no idea what chiropractic was until it came to be about 16 years-old when I had my first experience with a chiropractor. I had many sports injuries and each one of them got helped with chiropractic. It just kept getting better every time I went, no drugs, no surgery, it was like wow. This is a profession that exists; I want a piece of that.
Dr. Alyssa Holum: I originally knew I wanted to be a chiropractor around high school age, I was playing competitive volleyball. I had a pretty severe injury and I was told by of doctors that I wouldn't be able to play throughout high school and probably not in college. So my mom decided to take me to the chiropractor and I walked in in severe pain, barely able to walk, and walked out standing up straight. He told me I would be able to play and he changed my life and I knew that I wanted to do the same for others. It's one of the greatest things.
Heather Short: I remember before Cash Practice years ago, I would spend hours and hours in the office doing paperwork.
Dr. Howard Short: When we started our practice it was just me and my wife Heather, she did everything manually. We're talking about the manual appointment book we started with the old Parker System, and we had one of the very first Macintosh Computers if you can believe that back in the day.
Heather Short: A lot of times I when I was there much longer than the doctor until 10 o'clock at night just balancing everything, getting all the insurance done, the paperwork, it was astronomical.
Dr. Howard Short: Some of the things that I liked are, that you can put together a care plan very efficiently, very fast. It just makes it much easier than trying to figure this out by PayPal, or credit cards, or anything else that people do, I really don't know. I wouldn't want to do anything else.
Dr. Alyssa Holum: The Cash Plan Calculator has made it really simple not only for the doctor but the patient as well and it really just benefits both parties.
Dr. Howard Short: Patients when they are on the Auto Debit, they really don't get off of it if they are on a maintenance plan or a wellness plan as we would call it. Actually, when patients go from a corrective care plan to a wellness plan and they see their payment go down, that's exciting for them as well.
Dr. Alyssa Holum: Using the Drip-Education System has really simplified the process of sending out a mass blast, for example, an event. We're really able to reach all of the patients.
Dr. Howard Short: It's really easy to get that broadcast email out to them, and we always on every new patient set up campaigns so that seamlessly they go out without our CA having to adjust to that.
Dr. Alyssa Holum: That wouldn't be able to be done I don't think without Cash Practice.
Dr. Howard Short: I started out with the Cash Practice System when it was on floppy disks. Well, we've obviously grown from that and my understanding of how it was going to work in the cloud was completely like, oh my gosh is this really going to work? And once we started using it we never looked back.
Dr. Alyssa Holum: Coming out of school as a new chiropractor can be really overwhelming there are so many things to learn, you don't know what you need to learn. But Cash Practice has made it really easy and simplified with tutorial videos.
Dr. Miles Bodzin: In this lesson, I'm going to discuss one of the most common topics that get brought up by our members. The topic of how do you convert existing patients into new programs?
Dr. Alyssa Holum: It just makes it one less thing that you have to worry about.
Dr. Howard Short: It's very difficult for me to imagine practicing without Cash Practice, anyone can use it. Why everyone doesn't use it, I don't know?
Dr. Alyssa Holum: Customer service at Cash Practice is actually one of the best I've ever had an experience with. Any questions that I've ever had I've called, they have a quick response. Specifically, Spencer has helped me a few times and made sure that I get my problem handled efficiently and completely.
Spencer Plante: Well thanks for calling in Dr. Holum, if there is anything else I can help you with just let me know.
Dr. Alyssa Holum: I'm very impressed.
Dr. Howard Short: Anytime that I have had a need for service, the staff is completely educated on what they need to do to help the chiropractor or the staff member.
Dr. Alyssa Holum: I would absolutely recommend Cash Practice. I couldn't imagine if I had to sit there and write out care plans all day, so it really is a lifesaver.
Dr. Howard Short: What I can tell you just from experience, it may be one of the best decisions you ever make.

Call our quote line
A police dog from New Zealand who was killed whilst protecting his handler has been awarded the People's Dispensary for Sick Animals (PDSA) Gold Medal.
On July 13, 2010, Senior Constable Bruce Lamb and his five-year-old German shepherd, Gage, went to carry out what they thought would be a routine drugs search at a house in Christchurch, Dorset. Sadly Constable Lamb was shot in the face by one of the suspects. When they aimed to shoot again, Gage leapt into the path of the bullet.
Constable Lamb and Gage managed to exit the house whilst the suspect continued to shoot at other officers. Once outside Lamb realised the severity of the situation. "I looked down to find Gage lying motionless in the middle of the street, at that moment I realised that the bullet fired, which was meant for me, had in fact killed my faithful companion."
The PDSA Gold Medal is only awarded for the most extreme acts of courage and dedication. The award, widely recognised as the animals' George Cross, is only given to those that are influential in saving human or animal life when its own life is in jeopardy or through outstanding devotion to duty.

Debts on the rise, but Canadians are paying upBy Andrew Rickard | November 11 2016 11:30AM
Non-mortgage debt balances rose by 2.3% in the last quarter, and they will probably continue to increase for the next two years. Serious delinquency rates, however, are mostly flat.
At the end of September, the average Canadian non-mortgage debt balance reached $21,686, up from the $21,195 reported for the same quarter last year. Those in Ontario and Quebec took on the most debt, where balances were up by 2.6% and 3.6% respectively. The credit bureau believes non-mortgage debt levels will reach $21,747 by the end of next year and $22,000 at the end of 2018.
Although people are taking out more loans, the report reveals that serious delinquency rates (i.e., 90 days or more past due) have only risen slightly, from 2.62% in Q3 2015 to 2.70% in the third quarter of this year. Transunion says the largest yearly delinquency gains have been in Alberta (+13.4%) and Saskatchewan (+11.9%), while Ontario (-1.2%) and British Columbia (-0.4%) have seen modest declines. The company expects the overall Canada delinquency rate to improve, dropping to 2.63% by the end of 2017.
"The recent government outlook of weak economic conditions may have led some consumers to believe low interest rates will be here for a long time, which could result in pushing balances even higher due to low expected borrowing costs," says Jason Wang, TransUnion's director of research and analysis in Canada. "With the latest data in hand, we think it's especially important for lenders to continue monitoring and stress testing their portfolios to ensure they can maintain stable performance when interest rates do eventually rise."

Vertical cell transistor is necessary to drastically reduce the chip size of the dynamic random access memory. This structure has a great advantage in terms of shrinkage, but it also has the disadvantage of increasing the OFF-state current by causing floating body effect (FBE). For the first time, it is demonstrated that a stretched tunnelling diode, which consists of a p+ layer next to the n+ active layer in the buried body, leads to a drastically suppressed FBE. The OFF-state current is sharply reduced by about seven orders compared with a conventional structure. Furthermore, the decrease in the OFF-state current is at minimum when the length of the stretched p + region is approximately half the channel length (L p/L=1/2).
Large-scale machine-learning (ML) algorithms require extensive memory interactions. Managing or reducing data movement can significantly increase the speed and efficiency of many ML tasks. Towards this end, the authors devise an energy efficient in-memory computing (IMC) kernel for linear classification and design an initial prototype. The authors achieve a power savings of over 6.4 times than a conventional discrete system while improving reliability by 54.67%. The authors employ a split-data-aware technique to manage process, voltage, and temperature variations and to achieve fair trade-offs between energy efficiency, area requirements, and accuracy. The authors utilise a trimodal architecture with a hierarchical tree structure to further decrease power consumption. The authors also explore alternatives to the hierarchical tree structure with a significantly reduced number of linear regression blocks, while maintaining a competitive classification accuracy. Overall, the scheme provides a fast, energy efficient, and competitively accurate binary classification kernel.
With the increase in processing cores performance have increased, but energy consumption and memory access latency have become a crucial factor in determining system performance. In tiled chip multiprocessor, tiles are interconnected using a network and different application runs in different tiles. Non-uniform load distribution of applications results in varying L1 cache usage pattern. Application with larger memory footprint uses most of its L1 cache. Prefetching on top of such application may cause cache pollution by evicting useful demand blocks from the cache. This generates further cache misses which increases the network traffic. Therefore, an inefficient prefetch block placement strategy may result in generating more traffic that may increase congestion and power consumption in the network. This also dampens the packet movement rate which increases miss penalty at the cores thereby affecting Average Memory Access Time (AMAT). The authors propose an energy-efficient caching strategy for prefetch blocks, ECAP. It uses the less used cache set of nearby tiles running light applications as virtual cache memories for the tiles running high applications to place the prefetch blocks. ECAP reduces AMAT, router and link power in NoC by 23.54%, 14.42%, and 27%, respectively as compared to the conventional prefetch placement technique.
This study presents a new energy-efficient design for static random access memory (SRAM) using a low-power input data encoding and output data decoding stages. A data bit reordering algorithm is applied to the input data to increase the number of 0s that are going to be written into the SRAM array. Using SRAM cells which are more energy-efficient in writing a '0' than a '1' benefits from this, resulting in a reduction in the total power and energy consumptions of the whole memory. The input data encoding is performed using a simple circuit, which is built of multiplexers and inverters. After the read operation, data will be returned back to its initial form using a low-power data decoding circuit. Simulation results in an industrial and a predictive CMOS technology show that the proposed design for SRAM reduces the energy consumption of read and write operations considerably for some standard test images as input data to the memory. For instance, in writing pixels of Lenna test image into this SRAM and reading them back, 15 and 20% savings are observed for the energy consumption of write and read operations, respectively, compared with the normal write and read operations in standard SRAMs.
Multicore processors are widely used in today's real-time embedded systems to satisfy the performance and predictability requirements as well as reduce cost. A vast majority of multicore embedded systems are running several tasks with mixed-criticality, in which the non-functional requirements of the tasks are different or even conflicting. A major challenge in mixed-criticality systems is to maximise the efficiency of shared resources while satisfying the criticality requirements. Shared memory is a key component that should be well managed and memory controller plays the main role in this case. Several memory controllers have been introduced in the literature for multicore processors. In this article, the authors performed a deep investigation on three state-of-the-art memory controllers using gem5 full-system simulator and Xilinx ISE Design Suite, and compared them in terms of predictability and performance. Then, the authors proposed a memory controller that provides the same predictability as the most predictable existing controller while improving the performance by 12.3%.
Non-filament 3D vertical RRAM (VRRAM) is a promising technology for emerging high-density memory applications. In this Letter, the layer-dependent resistance variability at both low resistance state (LRS) and high resistance state (HRS) is assessed on state-of-the-art 8-layer 3D VRRAMs. 2048 devices are measured with the aid of an FPGA-controlled relay matrix which enables automated switching of devices without changing the cabling. The results show LRS exhibits little layer dependence while both the average and the standard variation of HRS decrease from the top layer to the bottom layer. A qualitative speculation is proposed to explain the observation based on the high-resolution transmission electronic microscope image. This work is beneficial for future 3D VRRAM circuit design and performance improvement.
This article presents a review of physical, analytical, and compact models for oxide-based RRAM devices. An analysis of how the electrical, physical, and thermal parameters affect resistive switching and the different current conduction mechanisms that exist in the models is performed. Two different physical mechanisms that drive resistive switching; drift diffusion and redox which are widely adopted in models are studied. As for the current conduction mechanisms adopted in the models, Schottky and generalised hopping mechanisms are investigated. It is shown that resistive switching is strongly influenced by the electric field and temperature, while the current conduction is weakly dependent on the temperature. The resistive switching and current conduction mechanisms in RRAMs are highly dependent on the geometry of the conductive filament (CF). 2D and 3D models which incorporate the rupture/formation of the CF together with the variation of the filament radius present accurate resistive switching behaviour.
A novel offset-cancelling current-mode sense amplifier (OC-CSA) to improve the sensing speed of embedded flash (eFlash) memory is proposed. To reduce the precharge time related to random address transitions, this OC-CSA adopts a new precharge acceleration scheme. Moreover, by employing offset cancellation, double sensing margin and strong positive feedback techniques, the new OC-CSA can achieve a sensing speed 1.6 × faster than other OC-CSAs. A 130 nm 1 Mb eFlash macro to confirm the high-speed capability of the proposed OC-CSA is fabricated. The experiment results show the new OC-CSA can achieve a read access time of 11 ns at VDD = 1.3 V.
This study proposes a single bit-line and disturbance-free static random-access memory (SRAM) cell for ultra-low voltage applications. SRAM cell with read-decoupled and cross-point structure addresses both the read-disturb and half-select stability issues; nevertheless, the write-ability is degraded due to the stacked pass transistors. In this study, the authors propose a single-ended 8T bit-cell and dual word-line control technique that can simultaneously improve the read stability, half-select stability, and write-ability without additional peripheral circuits, which is advantageous for bit-interleaved ultra-low voltage operations. A 4 kb test chip was implemented in a 90 nm complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor process to verify the proposed design. Silicon measurements indicate that the proposed design can operate at a voltage as low as 360 mV with 2.68 μW power consumption.
Due to the Von Neumann bottleneck, in-memory-computing, as a new architecture, has drawn considerable attention and is becoming an candidate of next generation electronics system. It presents an inmemory-computing approach for multiplier design based on Multilevel-cell (MLC) of Resistive random access memories (RRAMs). The paper proposes a Look-up-table (LUT) operations to optimize the speed, area and power of the multiplier circuits. The proposed MLC function of RRAM revealed that RRAM could have a multilevel stable resistance by adjusting the operating voltage. The simulation results show that, taking a 16-bits multiplier as an example, the circuits of this paper has a calculation speed thatis increased by 35.7 percent and an area that is decreased by 14 percent under the similar power consumption conditions when compared with other traditional 16-bits multiplier.
In high-density three-dimensional (3D) memory technology, a stacking method is used to create memory devices and access devices at the intersections of bit lines and word lines. For this application, access devices should have a high on/off ratio, high current density for writing cycles, and high endurance. Consequently, an arsenic–tellurium–germanium–silicon nitride compound (AsTeGeSiN) threshold switching device with a high current density of 104 A/cm2 above the threshold voltage (V th) is reported as a good candidate for use in access devices. In addition, scaling down of access devices as well as memory devices is essential for high-density 3D memories. However, in AsTeGeSiN threshold switching devices, fast degradation by pulse cycling in smaller devices is observed. To find the main cause of fast degradation by pulse cycling in smaller devices, the low-frequency noise properties are examined. The rapid increase in the trap density (N T) in small devices is the main cause of fast degradation by pulse cycling in AsTeGeSiN devices. On the basis of this evaluation, the author examines the effect of annealing temperature and annealing time on the pulse endurance in smaller devices. Using an annealing temperature of ∼600°C improves the cycling endurance of smaller devices.
NAND flash memories, due to their several advantageous characteristics, have recently dominated the data storage industry and its global market. Currently, multi-level cell memories, in which each cell can store more than one bit of data resulting in higher data storage capacities, have gained a considerable amount of research interest. However, this comes at the cost of several limitations and increased performance degradation. Various studies have shown that among several error sources in multi-level cell memories, inter-cell interference is the most significant one. Therefore, to mitigate the devastating effect of the interference, simple, feasible, and yet efficient equalisation techniques become essential for achieving desired data reliability. In this study, first, a thorough analysis on deriving the distribution of the interference-free and interference-affected data is carried out. Then, novel low-complexity equalisation methods are proposed, and their beneficial complexity-performance trade-offs compared with the existing techniques are illustrated. Finally, simulation results are presented to show that the proposed algorithms considerably improve the error performance, while maintaining the low-complexity constraints.
This study compares the performance and reliability of classical complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) gates with Schmitt trigger (ST) ones. The ST hysteresis, caused by the added positive feedback transistors, improves the design static noise margin (SNM) and offers noise immune operation. Hence, ST-based circuits are expected to operate more reliably than the ones implemented using classical CMOS. Although many research papers have been focused lately on using ST design concepts for implementing more reliable static random access memory (SRAM) cells, significantly less work was devoted to the application of ST concepts in the combinatorial logic domain. Moreover, available research on ST-based logic gates had only focused on the low-voltage/power applications range. The authors are going to look at the whole voltage range and performance spectrum to compare and understand not only the SNMs and the power consumption (at different frequencies and voltage levels) but also the delay and the power-delay-product of ST-based logic gates. These will be compared with classical CMOS as well as with optimally sized CMOS and ST-based logic gates. This study should give a clear picture of the potential advantages ST could offer for combinatorial logic in advanced CMOS technology nodes and of their application range.
This work investigates the delay performance of junctionless silicon nanotube (JLSiNT) field-effect transistor (FET) based 6T SRAM cell. The study demonstrates that the delay performance of symmetric drain/source DS-JLSiNT FET (inner gate covers drain, channel, and source regions) based 6T SRAM gets improved when the inner gate of nanotube covers only either drain and channel regions (D-JLSiNT FET) or source and channel regions (S-JLSiNT FET) because of improved I on/C gg. The improvement in read (write) access time is ∼22% (17%) and ∼9% (20%) when DS-JLSiNT FET is replaced by D-JLSiNT FET and S-JLSiNT FET, respectively, in DS-JLSiNT FET based 6T SRAM. Furthermore, due to partial covering of inner gate, the gate electrostatic integrity is reduced which decreases the ratio of on-current to off-current (I on/I off) resulting in degraded static noise margin (SNM). However, the deterioration in write SNM, hold SNM, and read SNM are almost minimal (∼0.3, 0.9, and 2%, respectively) for S-JLSiNT FET based SRAM as compared to DS-JLSiNT FET based SRAM. However, the deterioration in SNMs is aggravated for D-JLSiNT FET based SRAM as compared to DS-JLSiNT FET based SRAM. Thus, S-JLSiNT FET is the best configuration for designing of JLSiNT FET based 6T SRAM cell.
In static random access memory (SRAM), some cells are not selected for writing, but due to the distribution of the word line signals in the SRAM array, their word line signal is activated. Therefore, they may be mistakenly written. Such cells are called half-selected cells. This study presents two schemes, one for single-ended and the other for differential sensing SRAMs, to eliminate the half-selection disturbance. In the first proposed scheme, the content of the desired row of the SRAM array is read before the write operation and is written back on the corresponding write bitlines. This operation results in eliminating the possibility for noise to be written onto the half-selected cells. In the second scheme, a simple read operation is performed before the write operation. The authors applied their half-selection resilient schemes to 8 and 6 T SRAMs. Simulation results show that in the presence of radioactive particles, by applying their write-back scheme to 8 T SRAM and their read-before-write scheme to the conventional 6 T SRAM, the failure rate is reduced from an average of 56 and 20%, respectively, to 0. The proposed schemes do not degrade write-ability of the SRAM cells, and are bit-addressable. Moreover, their proposed schemes consume smaller amounts of power compared with their rivals.
Generalised concatenated (GC) codes are well suited for error correction in flash memories for high-reliability data storage. The GC codes are constructed from inner extended binary Bose–Chaudhuri–Hocquenghem (BCH) codes and outer Reed–Solomon codes. The extended BCH codes enable high-rate GC codes and low-complexity soft input decoding. This work proposes a decoder architecture for high-rate GC codes. For such codes, outer error and erasure decoding are mandatory. A pipelined decoder architecture is proposed that achieves a high data throughput with hard input decoding. In addition, a low-complexity soft input decoder is proposed. This soft decoding approach combines a bit-flipping strategy with algebraic decoding. The decoder components for the hard input decoding can be utilised which reduces the overhead for the soft input decoding. Nevertheless, the soft input decoding achieves a significant coding gain compared with hard input decoding.
Graphics processing units (GPUs) are playing more important roles in parallel computing. Using their multi-threaded execution model, GPUs can accelerate many parallel programmes and save energy. In contrast to their strong computing power, GPUs have limited on-chip memory space which is easy to be inadequate. The throughput-oriented execution model in GPU introduces thousands of hardware threads, which may access the small cache simultaneously. This will cause cache thrashing and contention problems and limit GPU performance. Motivated by these issues, the authors put forward a locality-protected method based on instruction programme counter (LPC) to make use of data locality in L1 data cache with very low hardware overhead. First, they use a simple Program Counter (PC)-based locality detector to collect reuse information of each cache line. Then, a hardware-efficient prioritised cache allocation unit is proposed to coordinate data reuse information with time-stamp information to predict the reuse possibility of each cache line, and to evict the line with the least reuse possibility. Their experiment on the simulator shows that LPC provides an up to 17.8% speedup and an average of 5.0% improvement over the baseline method with very low overhead.
Fast search block matching algorithm (BMA)-based video coding provides reasonable good quality video with minute cost of computation. In fast BMA, clock cycles required to read pixel data are quite more compared with matching operation due to erratic location of candidate macroblocks (CMBs). With aim of reduction in number of clock cycles, parallel memory system is used in this study, which can accelerate reading of CMBs and speedup motion vector (MV) computation. Novel concept of register array is introduced to organise CMBs, which expedite computation hungry search process. Owing to shape of register array, lesser space is needed to store CMBs and architecture addresses wide range of search patterns. The proposed sum of absolute difference processor with parallel memory system computes MV of 1 macroblock in 28 clock cycles in average case. Compared to single memory system, it saves 68% and 80% clock cycles in CMB access of initial search and intermediate search process, respectively. Hardware architecture is tested with Xilinx Virtex5 field programmable gate array. The proposed fixed 8×8 macroblock size architecture processes 354 high definition (HD) (1080p) frames per second (fps) and configurable architecture processes 201 HD fps which is more than adequate for real-time encoding.
An open-loop per-pin skew compensation with lock fault detection is presented. The proposed circuit employs an open-loop reference selector, a two-stage open-loop delay lock method which is separated by a coarse and fine lock for fast lock-in time, and a fault lock detecting scheme to prevent lock fault by dead zone of samplers. A unidirectional scan method ahead the fine lock stage to minimise pin-to-pin skew errors after calibration is also applied. The circuit was fabricated with 55 nm CMOS technology with a 1 V supply voltage and an area of 0.0036 mm2 for one de-skewing module. The measured result shows that the skew error at 1 GHz operation was reduced to <6 ps after skew calibration when the skew between input/output (IO) pins was 230 ps, and the lock-in time was 11 clock cycles.

cathedral is shown our Saviour's coat, and St. Peter's staff, to which miracles are ascribed.
482. Liege. The bishopric of Liege, between Brabant and Luxemburg, is 90 miles in length, and from 25 to 35 in bredth. It is a fruitful country, abounding in corn, wine, pasture and wood, with mines of iron, lead, coal, and quarries of marble. In this territory is Spa, whose mineral waters are much celebrated. It is watered by the Samber and Meuse, on the latter of which stands Liege, the capital, in a fine valley, surrounded by hills. The Meuse is navigable to this city. It is well fortified, has 16 gates, 17 bridges, 154 streets, and 100,000 inhabitants. The churches and convents are numerous, and the cathedral contains many silver coffers full of relics, and silver statues of saints. This bishopric is large, populous and rich; containing 24 walled towns, 52 baronies, and 1500 parishes.
483. Mame and History. The kingdom of Denmark comprehends the peninsula of Jutland and Sleswick, part of Holstein, Norway, and several large islands in the Baltic. Denmark, or Dane Marc, signifies the country of the Danes. Norway is derived from Morrick, north kingdom, or Worth-waeg, north sea. The primitive inhabitants of Jutland were the Cimbri, a Celtic nation, from whom descended the Welch of Britain, whose language was formerly called from them Cumraeg. The Cimbri were expelled by the Goths and Teutones, a century or two before the christian era. The Swedes and Norwegians afterwards conquered the country, but its early revolutions are involved in obscurity. Christianity was introduced into Denmark in the ninth century. Norway was originally peopled by the Finns or tribes of the same race, which were afterwards conquered by the Goths, and it remained a distinct kingdom till 1387, when it was united to Denmark.
484. Situation and Extent. Denmark, including Jutland, Sleswick, the Duchy of Holstein, and the islands in the Baltic, lies between 54 and 58 degrees of north latitude, and between 8 and 13 of east longitude. Jutland is a peninsula of 250 miles in length, and from 40 to 100 in bredth. Norway is a narrow territory north of the Skaggerac Sea, or Categate, and between the ocean and a chain of mountains, which separate it from Sweden; in length 7 or 800 miles, and in utmost bredth, about 150. To these may be added Danish Lapland, a cold, barren region, of 250 miles in length. 485. Mountains. Jutland being a narrow slip of land contains no elevations which can be called mountains. The same is true of Holstein, and the islands in the Baltic. But in Norway a chain of very high mountains extends the whole length of the country between Sweden and Norway. The peaks have different names, and it is observable that as the Celts gave to the summits of mountains the name of fien or ben, a head, as in the words Pennine and Appennine, in Italy, and Ben Lomond in Scotland ; so the Gothic nations gave to such summits the name of horn, as in Grosshorn in Swisserland, Hornalend in Norway. The Norwegians also called mountains feld, as Dofrafeld, Langfeld. 486. Rivers. As Denmark and Norway consist of narrow tracts of land, bounded by the ocean and mountains, the rivers are necessarily small. The Eydar, between Sleswick and Holstein, was formerly the boundary between Denmark and Germany. The peninsula of Jutland has many small streams not worthy of notice. The Glomen, in Norway, is 300 miles in length, and remarkable for a multitude of cataracts, and for conveying 50,000 trees annually to Frederickstadt. To the west of this is the Damme, which enters Christiana Bay, and in Lapland is the Tana, which flows to the North Sea. 487. Creeks and Lakes. In the northern part of Jutland is Lymefiord, an arm of the sea, which penetrates from Categate almost through the peninsula, and within three miles of the ocean. It is navigable, full of fish, and contains many islands. There are many other fiords or friths, but smaller. The lakes in Norway are numerous. The Mioss is a narrow lake of 60 miles in length the Rands, or Rands-sion, 50 miles in length ; the Feemund is 50 *: in length ; the Tyri is a beautifui 2
sheet of water 15 miles in length, surrounded by a country diversified with hills, forests, and well cultivated fields. 488. Forests and Mative Animals. There are some woods in the Danish islands, but the principal are on the Norwegian mountains, which are clothed with pine and fir, that furnish masts and spars for the northern nations of Europe. Among the animals are the lemming, or Norwegian mouse, armies of which sometimes migrate from the mountains towards the sea, devouring every plant in their way. In the north is that celebrated and useful animal, the rane, a species of the deer kind," which feeds the Laplander with its milk and flesh, or transports him on a sled upon the Snow with incredible speed. 489. Minerals. In Norway are the richest silver mines in Europe. Those near Kongsberg were discovered in 1623, by two peasants who were throwing stones for their amusement. They are worked by 36 shafts, and yield annually about 300,000 dollars. There are also mines of copper, cobalt, lead, but especially of iron; and the latter are esteemed the most profitable. These are mostly near Arindal, in Christiansand, and near Skeen. Norway also furnishes alum, marble, alabaster, jade and magnets. 490. Curiosities. The principal natural curiosity is the Malstrom, or tremendous whirlpool, at some distance from the shore of Norway. This is a rapid current, caused by the flowing and ebbing of the tide, between the islands of Loffoden, one of which is called Moskoe, and another Ver. So violent is the current, and such the whirling of the water, that its roaring may be heard for many miles. If a ship comes within its force, it is inevitably swallowed up, and shivered to pieces on the rocks below. Even the giant strength of the whale is not sufficient to save him from destruction.— When he begins to feel the force of the stream, the affrighted monster roars and bellows, and lashes the waves, in his mighty efforts to escape ; but all in vain; he is * *name is most corruptly written rein.
hurried forward and forced into the abyss, where he is instantly dashed to pieces. 491. Climate and Productions. The climate of Denmark, which is every where near the sea, is more moderate than in countries in the same latitude remote from the ocean. Yet it may be considered as a temperate climate in summer, and cold in winter ; for not unfrequently the entrance into the Baltic, and sometimes the Baltic itself, is covered with ice. The southern parts of Denmark and the islands are well cultivated, and produce corn and grass in abundance. But many parts are *marshy, and susceptible of great improvement. In Norway the crops are scanty, and the air so humid that great care is necessary to save them. 492. Religion. The religion of Denmark and Norway is the Lutheran. There is no archbishopric, but the dioceses are twelve, six in Denmark, four in Norway, and two in Iceland. The chief diocese is that of Zealand, whose income is nearly 4500 dollars a year. The inferior clergy are archdeacons, parish priests, and chaplains, who are maintained by glebes, tythes and surplice fees, but some of their livings fall short of 100 dollars a year. 493. Government. Denmark had anciently a free constitution; the king being elective, and the legislature consisting of representatives of the nobility, clergy and citizens. But the nobility claimed an entire exemption from taxes, while the citizens and peasants were extremely oppressed. At length the commons took the resolution to free themselves from the tyranny of the nobles, by making the king absolute ; which was effected in the year 1660, when the deputies of the clergy and people made a formal tender of their liberties and services to Frederick the third, who accepted the same, and promised them protection and relief. At this time the crown was made hereditary, and the king absolute ; but justice is administered according to a code of established laws. 494. Population, Revenues, Army and Mavy. The population of Denmark is estimated at nearly two millions and a half, of which Norway has 700,000, and Iceland 50,000. The revenue is about 7 millions of dollars, of which half a million is levied upon ships which pass the sound or strait at the entrace of the Baltic, between Zealand and Sweden. The army consists of about 70,000 men, and the navy of 33 ships of the line. But Denmark has not recently been engaged in war. 495. Education. There is a university at Copenhagen, and another at Kiel, with a royal academy of sciences founded in 1742. There is also the royal society of Icelandic literature, designed to cultivate the history of the north, and a society for cultivating science at Drontheim. In Denmark, schools are established in each parish for instructing common children in their own language, writing and arithmetic. There are also some Latin schools maintained at the king's expense, four of which are in Norway, and two in Iceland. Denmark has produced some writers of eminence, as Saxo Grammaticus, Sweno, Snorro, the historian of Iceland, Tycho Brahe, the astronomer, and Niebuhr, the traweller. 496. Language. The languages spoke in the Danish dominions are all dialects of the Gothic, except the Laponic, or Laplandic, and that appears to have some affinity to the same language, so that it may be considered as a more ancient branch of the same stock. The purest dialect of the primitive Gothic is that of Iceland, for the inhabitants of that island being separated from the continent of Europe at an early period, have suffered no changes by migration or conquest. 497. Condition of the People. The peasantry of Denmark proper are said to be kept in vassalage, and of consequence are humbled, dispirited and idle ; and having no motive but necessity to induce them to labor, they are in a mean condition. The peasants in Norway, who enjoy more freedom, are in a much better condition. The Laplanders live in a cold, barren, inhospitable region, and resemble the Samoids, and northern Tartars. They are from four to five feet high, with short black hair, narrow dark eyes, large heads, thick lips, high checkbones, a wide mouth, and a swarthy complexion,

As many of you already know, I love baking and I dream to one day open my own bakery.
I have time and again contemplated to take up a pastry course either in the UK or Paris, but due to personal commitments, I still find myself here in Melbourne, in the media advertising industry.
But there's a girl out there, living my dream.
This girl goes by the name Bee.
Bee loves baking, and she finds joy in creating beautiful and delicious cakes. It puts a smile on her face to see others enjoy her creations.
Unfortunately though, like many Asian parents, her father told her that she had "to get a stable job" and that's how she ended up with a Bachelor of Commerce degree.
It didn't take long for Bee to land herself a job in a bank, but alas, she wasn't proud nor happy; she didn't get that job satisfaction all of us yearn for and she knew deep down inside what the problem was.
Millè & B.
To keep her parents happy, Bee now juggles between baking to orders whilst maintaining her job at the bank, with a dream to one day open her cake shop in Melbourne.
This, my readers, is what I call dedication.
For that, I give Bee my utmost respect and as you can see, I'm doing my best to support her by spreading word of mouth about Millè & B.
Millè & B as you would have guessed, is an online cake shop specializing in the classic French cake known as Mille Crêpe Cake.
Each cake is handmade to order using fresh ingredients, and consist 20 even layers of delicate, paper thin crepes with each layer filled with luscious pastry cream of various flavours.
But the best part for me is the crunchy salted caramel popcorn that Millè & B makes in-house. Don't say I didn't warn you, but those popcorns, gosh, they're incredibly addictive!
The use of vinegar not only brings out the beautiful, bright red colour, but also totally enhances the natural sweetness of the strawberries.
Topped with white chocolate and green tea ganache, then finished with a matcha crumble (which I could not get enough of), this cake is made for every matcha lover out there.
I really like that Millè & B cakes aren't too sweet, and they have great, consistent texture throughout.
When eaten fresh, they are soft, smooth and taste absolutely divine. I can't wait to try the Tiramisu and Hazelnutella Banana flavours too!
Whilst some might find the crepe layers a tad too thin for their liking, I actually prefer it the way it is.
Bee mentioned that she experimented with thicker layers prior to starting her business, and she personally preferred the thin layers to achieve the melt-in-your-mouth texture. I'm with you, Bee.
My Mum who isn't usually a big fan of cakes or anything sweet, went back for a second serving. I was so surprised and gobsmacked when she even requested for a bigger slice!
That's how good Millè & B's crepe cakes are. ;)
You really need to try these crepe cakes for yourselves! And the good news is, I have ONE WHOLE CREPE CAKE to giveaway to one very lucky Melbourne-based reader.
To be in the running to win, you will need to be living in Melbourne, to either have the cake picked up from Mille & B's location at Lygon Street, Carlton or have it delivered to an address within 10km of Melbourne CBD for a flat fee of $10.

If the arranged tour has to be changed only due to the client's own wishes, he or she is supposed to pay for the corresponding additional cost.
Travel Documents
It is the responsibility of tourists to see that proper documentation is obtained in advance of the trip. Each tourist must be in possession of a passport valid for more than six months after the return date of arrival. Tourists must check visa requirements directly to obtain necessary information prior to their departure. Transworld Travel Services will not be responsible for alternate or additional land or air arrangements resulting from improper documentation.
No refund will be made for any portion of the tour unused because of a cancellation or change made by tourists themselves while the tour is in progress.
Health Requirement
Currently Malaysia does not require the tourists from major western countries immunizations. However, it is subject to change at any time. Please check with your tour agent to ascertain if the country you are visiting requires proof of any inoculation. It is the tourists' sole responsibility for compliance with vaccination and other health requirements of the visited country's government. For those planning to go to Tibet, please consult a physician before making the trip. Visitors with respiratory or cardiac problems should avoid such high altitudes.
Transworld Travel Services provides limited insurance for all customers who have booked tour services, which is called Travel Agency Liability Insurance regulated by National Tourism Administration. The insurance includes the coverage of liability for compensation, borne by a travel agency in organizing tourism activities; and for personal injury and property loss of tourists during a guided tour.
Transworld Travel Services is dedicated to offering our clients a safe and smooth journey with a lifetime experience. While for your benefit and convenience, we highly recommend you to purchase other travel insurance at home before departure since the policies of most travel insurance companies cover a wide range of inconveniences from lost & damage of baggage, to flight delays & cancellations, etc.
Air Transportation
Air transportation for all the programs is based on economy class travel. The international airfares usually are not included in the tour cost unless otherwise specified. Transworld Travel Services endeavors to follow the itineraries as we proposed for you; however, if the flights are not available at the scheduled time, we reserve the right to modify the air and land arrangements for smooth operation of the tour.
Clients should provide the correct personal information, such as the full names, passport number, nationality and brith date, for reservations. Once the flight tickets are issued based on the incorrect information provided by the clients, they will be responsible for the extra charge of the cancellation of tickets and issuing new tickets.
The fuel tax and other applicable airport tax have been included in the air tickets. Therefore, if your domestic flights are included in the tour package, then you don't need to pay any extra cost after your arrival at the airport. But Transworld Travel Services is not liable for the excess bagguage charge. Please note that in China the flights to Hong Kong and Macao are still regarded as international flights, therefore, passengers are required to go through the customs.
Note: Recently because of the quick price rise of oil, the airlines kept raising the fuel tax in the past year. So the fuel tax fee is subject to change with prior notice, which should be covered by the clients' own expenses.
When the hotel listed in our service confirmation is not available, the hotel at the same or better level will be substituted. Transworld Travel Services will inform you immediately before arrival.
Transworld Travel Services will try to reserve a double-bed room if clients requested, and we can't 100% guarantee its availability as some hotels in China have very limited double-bed rooms, and they follow the rule of "First come, first served".
We offer assistance in arranging room shares, but cannot guarantee its availability. Singles who wish to share with another should request this at time of booking and will be booked as a single but willing to share if possible. If on your arrival there is another person willing to share, then the single supplement will be refunded.
For domestic flight passengers in Malaysia, the free baggage allowance is 20kg per person for Economy Class, 20kg for Business Class, and 40kg for First Class. Transworld Travel Services is not liable for the excess baggage charge.
Regulations under CAAC (Civil Aviation Administration of China) specify that all check-in suitcases must have a locking device attached. Failure to follow this regulation may result in refusal by airport staff to check in your baggage. In case of any damages and losses of your personal belonging, baggage insurance at home is highly recommended.
For international flights, please kindly check with the airlines for more information regarding the baggage issues.

Among the many different applications for managing instances deployed on Google´s Compute Engine platform, few address the issue of Google cloud cost management. Google´s Compute Engine is not particularly expensive – indeed, at an instance level, the platform often performs well in cost-comparisons with other IaaS providers. However, if your business runs multiple instance on the platform, the cost can be significant.
Options for Reducing Cloud Compute Costs
There are several options for reducing cloud compute costs – whatever platform is used by your developers. Internal resources can be reallocated to develop scheduling scripts for non-production instances. Alternatively developers could be reminded to log into the Google Compute Engine console whenever they have finished using a non-production instance in order to switch it off manually.
Neither solution is without its drawbacks. If you reallocate internal resources to develop scheduling scripts, the cost in lost production may be more than the savings generated by the scheduling scripts. If your cost-reducing strategy is to rely on developers switching off non-production instances, any number of distractions could prevent your strategy from being successful. For these reasons, we have developed an application for managing Google cloud costs that is cost-effective and easy to use.
What Google Cloud Cost Management Software Does
Google Cloud cost management software automates the scheduling process for non-production instances. Most developing, testing and staging instances are not used for more than 60 hours each week. For the remaining 108 hours each week, non-production instances lay idle. Unless they are temporarily stopped – or "parked" – businesses are still being charged for the unused compute power.
Our application for managing Google cloud costs – "ParkMyCloud" – eliminates the need for internal resources to be reallocated in order to develop scheduling scripts, or for developers to be reminded about switching off non-production instances when they are not required. ParkMyCloud also assists administrators with governance and account manageability via a single view dashboard.
How ParkMyCloud Parks Non-Production Instances
ParkMyCloud is a versatile and lightweight SaaS application, through which users connect to their Google accounts. Our Google cloud cost management software locates all the user´s instances and recommends which are suitable for parking based on their names and the tags allocated to them. Users accept the recommendations, or adjust them as necessary before confirming the final selection.
Users then have a choice of selecting a pre-configured parking schedule (for example parked between 7:00pm and 7:00am Monday to Friday and all day on weekends) or creating their own. If they wish to create their own, the UI displays a grid representing days of the week and times of the day. The user picks which hours they want to park their non-production instances, and confirms the selection.
Once this process is completed, the UI displays how much will be saved over the next thirty days. Once the schedule is implemented, and the non-production instances are parked overnight, the UI displays how much money has actually been saved. For reducing cloud compute costs to the maximum, users can select an "always off" parking schedule as their default schedule, and snooze the schedule when access to the parked instance is required.
|How Much Could You Save Using Google Cloud Cost Management Software?
|On Time
|Off Time
|% Saved
|6.00 a.m.
|10.00 p.m.
|8.00 a.m.
|9.00 p.m.

|9.00 p.m.
|7.00 a.m.
|7.00 p.m.
The Benefits of Our Application for Managing Google Cloud Costs
In financial terms, the benefits of our application for managing Google cloud costs can be substantial. Businesses parking their non-production instances using the pre-configured parking schedule mentioned above (7:00pm and 7:00am Monday to Friday and all day on weekends) would be reducing cloud compute costs for non-production instances by 64% – more if they use the "always off" schedule.
In terms of governance and account manageability, ParkMyCloud provides administrators with a single view of all Google accounts and regions, the instance types and the pricing structure to which each is assigned. Administrators can also create team and role structures in order for team members to access their own instances and schedule parking times without affecting other teams´ schedules.
There are also benefits of our application for managing Google cloud costs in terms of security. While non-production instances are parked, they cannot be accessed without authorization. This means there is no risk of them being hacked or compromised – eliminating the need for security personnel to monitor the instances or run unnecessary and time-consuming virus scans – thus saving further resources.

Cummings asked that representatives from Bank of America (BAC), CitiMortgage (C), Provident and Wells Fargo (WFC) also be invited to the hearing. These mortgage servicers were spotlighted by the Inspector General's report as failing to report monthly on the escalated cases they receive.

It's all about dancing all the night away in a party. Yes we are talking about clubs. Whenever you think of going to clubs, you think of the party wear. So we can easily say that a club and its costume is very relative to each other. Club is not the place where you will be too serious and sit in a single place. It's all about dancing, drinking and a lot of fun. But if you are not comfortable with your costume, how can you be that free on the club floor. So you have to be more and more cautious about your costumes or outfits.
Not every outfit that is hanging on your wardrobe is suitable for the part or club. You have to think about the environment before choosing the dress. All your costumes are not for everywhere. Actually the most important thing is that you will have to be comfortable with what you are wearing. Club is a place where everything is of comfort and that is very important. You can't dance well wearing an uncomfortable outfit. So here are some tips that will really help you all to choose the appropriate dress for the party.
Don't wear too beautiful clothes that are in your wardrobe. Party is a very sweaty place and there you will have all your fun. So it's better to wear the dresses that are on an average. Anything can happen on a party so it's not a good idea to go with costly dresses. There must be some dresses in your wardrobe which are old and you are quite comfortable with it. Go for it and it will be the most suitable one.
Never try to wear black in a party. Although some people will never agree with it and some go into a controversy but we will always suggest not wearing a black dress for your party. Clubs are always in a dark ambience and if you still wear dark clothes you will not look unique in that sense. Black clothes under mild dark lights look brownish and that is very unattractive. Try out something graying or anything with blue shade. But if black is your only option and you are very close with it, in such case you can try out black.
If it is a summer party, then obviously you will have to wear something light so it's not good to go with coats. Once you dance for few minutes, you will feel the warmth of the club and hence it will be uncomfortable to carry the coat at that time. If its winter time and you are thinking about it, remember that clubs are generally warm because of the environment inside it. So you can wear coat during the winter time but you will feel warm. So it's better to try out something else.
Actually you will have to know about the atmosphere of the club and then about the party you are going to. It should be always remembered that dress codes depends on the type of crowds and the environment of the party. You can ask your friends those who are also going in the same party about the clothes they are wearing. Everything can be solved through discussions.
So you will have to keep all these things in mind and think of the actual dress than you can be comfortable with. Club dress is very important and you should think about it a lot. Remember; once you wear something that you are not comfortable with, there is a massive possibility that it can be a mess. Here you have got various ideas that will help you a lot.

London, England – Harry Redknapp is the new QPR manager just a day after the previous Queens Park Rangers manager Mark Hughes was sacked for failing to deliver results despite an expensive overhaul of the QPR squad lineup. In England the London soccer club is currently at the bottom of the Premier League without a win. Even worse, in all of their 12 matches so far the players only managed to eke out a mere four points.
According to USA Today, Harry Redknapp decided to start his career as a QPR manager by blasting the players for their lack of performance:
"The players have to be at it — the buck stops with them," Harry Redknapp said, ripping the players of QPR. "I know Mark [Hughes] lost his job, but it's down to the players. He could only do what he could do. The players have not performed to their potential. There are some good players here and they really need to step up and start performing. They are man enough to know they're to blame for the position we are in."
Harry Redknapp is known for turning around soccer teams and he hopes to do the same with the Queens Park Rangers. Harry Redknapp was named Premier League manager of the year for 2009-10 after taking the Spurs to Champions League qualification for the first time. Like the QPR, in October 2008 the Spurs had scored a miserable two points from eight games. In the following season Harry Redknapp led the Spurs soccer team to the quarterfinals in Europe to win eighth place.
From Harry Redknapp's enthusiasm it sounds like he's planning on doing the same thing with QPR:
"I'm delighted to be back in the managerial hot-seat at QPR," said Harry Redknapp over on CNN. "When I spoke to the shareholders and they told me about their plans I knew this was too good an opportunity to turn down. There's no doubt there's a lot of ability in the squad, but for one reason or another things haven't gone as well as everyone expected since the start of the season. I can't wait to get to work and get the results necessary to kickstart our season."
For all you soc-cough-football fans out there, what do you think about Harry Redknapp becoming the new QPR manager? Is Redknapp correct to rip the players of the Queens Park Rangers?

Section 128 - Submission of existing multi-area agreement
290.This section provides for a multi-area agreement that is prepared through procedures other than following a direction from the Secretary of State under section 125 to be submitted with a request that the Secretary of State approve it. This section allows local authorities to submit a multi-area agreement agreed prior to section 125 coming into force, or one that has been prepared without first seeking a direction.
291.Subsection (3) stipulates that all local authorities covered by the area of the multi-area agreement, other than district councils in a county council area, must be party to any request for the Secretary of State to approve the agreement whilst also expressly allowing district councils to be party to the request if they want to join it. This is consistent with who may request a direction to prepare and submit a multi-area agreement (see section 124).
292.Subsection (4) requires local authorities making the request to consult any other local authority, as well as partner authorities, for the area covered by the multi-area agreement, prior to making the request. Subsection (7)(d) requires the local authorities making the request to report the outcome of their consultation under this subsection.
293.Subsections (5) to (7) stipulate the information that must accompany the request. These information requirements are consistent with the requirements for a proposal for a direction under section 124 together with the requirements for a draft multi-area agreement in section 125.

Kellohalli Häät. Spring Helsinki Wedding. Kellohalli Wedding.
Linda writes about their day: "We didn't have that much of a vision of the wedding in the beginning. Only a idea of the venue. We wanted a place in the city but not a traditional one. When we founded Kellohalli we knew this was the place. It is a great venue, very good food and wines and excellent staff. Hey Look helped us with the invitations, decorations, flowers and print material. We got the idea of the red color from the invitations. Then I bought red shoes and Jaakko bought a red bow tie. We both liked a strong energetic color but not too much in focus.
All parts of the wedding were important to us but most of all the atmosphere. We both think that the wedding ended up better than we could even imagine. The day was magical and we where both so happy the whole day. It was a great day!"
Kellohalli Häät
What were you looking for when searching for a wedding photographer? How did you choose me?
We wanted to have some modern not traditional pictures and your pictures and style suited us perfectly.
Were your expectations met? In what areas did I meet your expectations? What did you most enjoyed about working with me?
We are very happy with the pictures. They ended up perfect for us. We didn't that much expectations just a wish to capture the feeling and atmosphere of the day with our friends and family. You are very nice person to work with – calm, funny and talented.
Are you satisfied with the quality of the photographs in terms of artistic expression? What was the response/reaction of your parents and your friends when seeing the images?
We are very satisfied with the quality of your pictures – they are very professional. You captured great the colours and moments in a fresh way! Our friends and family where thrilled of the pictures. It was easier for them to look at the pictures from your blog.

Gosh I love all of the colors in this wedding. The red jacket and lipstick and shoes just all look so good :) I love your coverage of the reception especially!
Man oh man I love a bride who loves red, and that reception is swanky wonderfulness. Gorgeous stuff!
Great coverage. Love the urban backdrop to there portraits.
