The excitement is rapidly building as the Gelato World Tour prepares to come to the Middle East for the first time, after attracting almost 350,000 visitors in its first three stages in Rome, Valencia and Melbourne.
Dubai will be the next Capital of Gelato, the regional hub showcasing the nutritious and mouth-watering iced treat. Originating in Italy, its ancestor is the Arabic Sherbeth, with more than 100,000 shops devoted to it worldwide. The Gelato World Tour, organized by Carpigiani Gelato University and Sigep-Rimini Fiera in collaboration with IFI and MEC3 and in association with Desita and Franchise Middle East, aims to bring the culture of fresh and high-quality artisanal food to the global public.
Sixteen renowned gelato artisans from the Middle East are ready to compete for the title of World's Best Gelato, making their own single-best flavor, combining tradition with innovation and bringing out the taste of the best ingredients.
The Gelato World Tour is delighted to partner with Emaar, the UAE's leading international property developer, which has provided a venue in the heart of Dubai; and DGT LLC, the distributor of Sirma natural spring water across the Middle East and the official water sponsor. The public is invited to enjoy what is sure to be a spectacular celebration, stretching from 2pm to midnight at Burj Park, in the prestigious Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard on February 13th - 15th.
Entry to the Gelato World Tour Village is completely free of charge. The public can enjoy free gelato-classes "From the fruit to the Sherbet", special workshops for children about the history of gelato from 12.000 B.C. to today as well as games and contests. They will also get the chance to watch a live demonstration of gelato of being made and taste the delicious flavours by purchasing the Gelato Ticket on site during any of the three days (Costs AED 60, and includes two cups of gelato and three samples). With the purchase of the Gelato Ticket, and for the first time in the history of Middle East, the public will become part of the jury and be given the opportunity to vote for the "World's Best Gelato". Each ticket holder, by voting, will get the chance to participate in the "Taste & Win" contest, along with a chance to win an Ipad4 (Apple). Each ticket holder, by downloading MyGelato App show the qr code at the cash point, will get another free tasting! With MyGelato App everybody can easily find the gelato shops near him/her, everywhere in the world, give and receive free gelatos and discover sweet news about the gelato world. MyGelato can be downloaded for free from the App Store and Google Play. Moreover, with the purchase of the Gelato Ticket, the public will be supporting a charitable cause, as a percentage of ticket sales will be donated to Dubai Cares, a philanthropic organization working to provide children in developing countries with access to quality primary education. To date, Dubai Cares has reached more than 8 million children in 31 developing countries.
Below is the list of the 16 gelato-artisans competing in Dubai. They have been selected by Luciana Polliotti, top writer and journalist in the artisanal gelato sector worldwide. Also listed are their shop name and the flavour they will enter into the competition:

The President of the Technical Jury of this stage will be the Armani Hotel Dubai's Executive Chef: Emiliano Bernasconi. Bringing the Armani lifestyle philosophy to life through the hotel's food and beverage positioning has given Emiliano Bernasconi a unique opportunity to not only to implement his own innovative ideas, but also to play an active role in the development of emerging culinary talent in the city.
On the occasion of this unique event, two of the best culinary schools in the world, ICCA (International Centre for Culinary Arts Dubai) and Carpigiani Gelato University, are starting a new collaboration to spread the artisanal gelato culture in the Middle East.
The general public is invited to a FREE Open Day, on February 11th at ICCA: Alice Vignoli, Carpigiani Master Trainer, will hold a professional mini gelato-class to celebrate the official launch of the collaboration (all the journalists will be invited at the press conference: [email protected]). After the Gelato World Tour, some Gelato Base Courses are already planned in Dubai that will become a centre of excellence for artisanal gelato.

GIMPS has discovered a new largest known prime number: 282589933-1 (24,862,048 digits)
108 = 22 * 33 (the product of the first two primes raised to themselves). [Sladcik]
The difference between the smallest (136) and second smallest (244) sums of squares (a^2 + b^2) where both a and b have more than one prime factor. [Hunter]
108 can be written as the sum of a cube and a square (a^3 + b^2) in two ways. [Hunter]
The concatenation of 108 with its previous and next number is prime, i.e., 108107 and 108109 are primes. [Bopardikar]
The smallest possible sum for a set of six distinct primes such that the sum of any five is prime: {5, 7, 11, 19, 29, 37}. [Honaker , Noe , Porter]

Tracheomalacia can have no symptoms, especially if the condition is very mild.
However, the more the airway is blocked, the more severe the symptoms are. Symptoms of tracheomalacia are often attributed to other conditions, such as emphysema or asthma.
The major symptoms in adults are:
- Difficulty breathing
- High-pitched or rattling, noisy breaths
- Noisy breathing, that may change when body position shifts and may improve during sleep
- Severe coughing fits that may interrupt daily activities
- Episodes of feeling as though you are choking
- Wheezing
- Lightheadedness due to coughing fits
- Recurrent pulmonary infections
Causes and Risk Factors
Some causes of tracheomalacia are prolonged intubation (as when a patient is under general anesthesia for a long time with a tube in their throat to help them breathe), a history of tracheotomy, chronic bronchitis , emphysema , or diffuse pulmonary fibrosis.

Don't you know, Mr. Wise Beard Man? All works of parody are malicious and vile, and all people who create them are suppressive and glib. That's why SNL is the most hated show on TV and Tina Fey is an outcast in the world of entertainment. Thank God nobody in this world has a sense of humor. That's all I'm gonna say.

No extra funding for teen shelter in Quebec City
For the past 25 days, Le Squat Basse-Ville, the only shelter for runaway teens in the Quebec City region, has been closed. If the organization's board accepts the latest proposal put forward by the regional health agency, it will re-open in about 10 days.
But not as it was, and not with many of its previous support services. It's a tough pill to swallow for those who run the Squat and those who've received its help.
Glenn Wanamaker was down at the Squat yesterday and joined host Susan Campbell in studio to explain the situation.

How to Choose a New Upright Fridge
Find your refrigerator's space for frozen goods quite lacking? Then it's probably time to invest in a standalone freezer. In looking for a standalone freezer, you may have come across two types: the upright fridge and the chest fridge. In terms of energy efficiency and space, a chest fridge beats the upright fridge. In all other aspects like organization, ease of maintenance, and convenience, however, the upright fridge wins hands down, which is why this buying guide focuses on helping you find the best upright fridge 2019 has in store for you.
Storage Capacity
People usually buy an upright fridge because the freezer area in most standard refrigerators feels cramped. That being said, it's important to take into account the type and quantity of food you want to store. Fortunately, the footprint of an upright fridge is small compared to chest fridges, so you usually don't have to worry about having enough room to fully open the fridge door. A good way to find out how big your upright fridge should be is by finding out how the capacity of the freezer compartment in your current refrigerator and use that as a minimum size; it's a good idea to double that size, especially if you plan on no longer using the freezer compartment of your refrigerator after buying an upright fridge.
Energy Consumption
The size of a fridge is directly proportional to the amount of energy it consumes, as more power is needed to cool a larger area. This is why you shouldn't go overboard and buy a 20+ cubic feet fridge if you only plan on storing a week's worth of frozen goods for a small family; your fridge is bound to overwork just to keep the interior, the majority of which is empty, cool. Some high tech fridges actually have door alarms so that you don't leave the door open too long, so if you can spare a bit more cash for that nifty feature, then go for it. Generally, there's an energy rating label you can check so that you'd know how much you'd be adding to your electric bill when you add a freezer. You'd also see their energy efficiency rating – how much energy consumed actually goes into cooling your goods.
Auto vs. Manual Defrost
Refrigerators with automatic defrost work by heating up the refrigerator coils inside regularly in order to prevent frost from building up. Because of this, the refrigerator will consume more energy, almost like you're running both a heater and a refrigerator. Also, some people have noticed that a lot of automatic defrost fridges aren't very good at keeping things cool compared to manual defrost fridges. Manual defrost fridges, on the other hand, consume less energy at the cost of convenience; you'd have to manually defrost your fridge manually to keep your fridge efficient. This would mean that you have to defrost the moment that frost builds up to more than a quarter of an inch, otherwise, you lose the energy savings you'd get from getting a manual defrost fridge.
Top Rated Upright Fridges in 2019
Finding the top rated fridges 2019 has to offer may be quite daunting, considering that the best upright fridge reviews contain a lot of outdated and phased-out models. Fortunately, we've compiled a new list of upright fridges based on the newest, best upright fridge reviews given by food amateurs and food gurus alike.
Danby DUFM085A2WDD1 Upright Freezer
The Danby DUFM085A2WDD1 Upright Freezer is 8.5 cubic feet fridge that looks just like an ordinary refrigerator. It comes in a classic white color and sports a clean, minimalistic design that makes it blend in perfectly in any room. This freezer has a manual defrosting system, which means that you'll have to carve out frost manually once in a while. Together with the Energy Star rating, this feature will help keep your electric consumption down.
What people love about this fridge is that it runs quietly, almost like it was just a giant, lifeless paperweight. Normally, manual defrost fridges are rather tedious to maintain, as frost quickly builds up, and consequently, the efficiency falls down. This one, however, doesn't frost up as much as a lot of models in the same price range do. Because of this, it doesn't put out a lot of heat (when frost builds up in a fridge, ironically the refrigerator has to work extra hard to keep things cool, therefore producing more heat in the process).
What some people don't like about it, however, is how improper handling in transport could easily deform and dent the unit. In fact, some people have reported receiving broken units. In any case, it's best to check the unit you receive for any signs of abuse before using it just to make sure. Other than this minor problem that doesn't particularly reflect the product's performance, this upright fridge proves its worth in the family kitchen quite well, so long as you're willing to perform occasional defrost duties.

Need a smaller fridge that'll blend in quite well in an office or any cramped room? The SPT UF-304SS Energy Star Upright Freezer boasts 3 cubic feet of storage space behind a simple, modern fusion of a silver brushed stainless steel finish and an inconspicuous black finish in a simple, minimalistic design. What people love about this fridge is how it maximizes its relatively small size, such that it'd fit under most counters or tables (though it's advisable to keep it in a well-ventilated area).
The SPT UF-304SS also has easily adjustable foot pegs for a no-hassle leveling. Apart from the fact that it just fits in any kitchen perfectly, it runs quietly too. It doesn't have automatic defrost, though most fridges that come in this size will most likely be manual defrost (it isn't particularly hard to defrost a 3 cu ft. fridge). Fortunately, it doesn't easily build up frost and can operate for more than a month without needing to be defrosted.
Should you choose to get this fridge, however, take note that you need to let it sit for about 24 hours before plugging it in and using it. This isn't indicated in the packaging but is an apparently well-known fact for most kitchen junkies (this isn't a good assumption to make though). In any case, if you find yourself running out of space for huge family dinners and events, then this might just be the perfect solution to your storage dilemma.

Whynter CUF-110B Upright Freezer
Looking for a small fridge that you can easily hide under any table or even on small end tables? The Whynter CUF-110B Energy Star 1.1 Cubic Feet Upright Freezer provides a cost-effective way of adding freezer space while not really being much larger than a microwave oven. The simple black finish blends in perfectly in any kitchen, office, or living room and can be placed comfortably on most countertops or desks. The door can be flipped so that one can open it in either direction, which is a nifty feature a lot of modern refrigerators are currently adapting in their designs.
This upright fridge also has a lock, which is great if you want to keep off unwanted hands off whatever you're storing. Add that to the fact that it is ultra-quiet, and you'd almost think that it was created specifically for the workplace. If you're looking to store bulky items like a whole turkey, then you may find this fridge quite cramped. If, however, you only need a space for vegetables, liquor, frozen treats, or any other small items, then this will suffice.

Education is life
As Principal, I encourage all parents to be involved in your child's education.
Education needs to be highly valued as it gives everyone the opportunity to improve themselves and their future prospects. Education is a great leveller, despite economic circumstance, each student in a public school is provided with the opportunity to engage with quality education. Staff at Kingsthorpe State School rightly pride themselves in the wide variety of achievements and opportunities that ex- students have been engaged in.
At Kingsthorpe State School, children have the right to receive an education in a safe and respectful learning environment. General student behaviour and attitudes at this school are of a very high standard. If any bullying issues are reported the school staff is pro-active in dealing with the situation. Behaviour expectations are taught and acknowledged using the Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) philosophy. For a small school, Kingsthorpe has a proportionally high number of children who go onto achieving student leadership positions in their chosen High School. This is a credit to both the families who attend and the staff who work here. Our Responsible Behaviour Plan outlines school expectations of behaviour in more detail.
All Kingsthorpe State School staff implements the Australian Curriculum using the Queensland curriculum support documents, C2C. Staff aim to provide quality, engaging learning experiences that meet individual needs in addition to building a positive rapport with all children. The teachers here are consistently impressive in their dedication and ability to provide and promote an excellent learning environment. We are a progressive, busy and vibrant school.
Teachers and teacher aides engage in professional development opportunities on a regular basis. The capacity of the staff is built through collegial engagement both at the school and cluster level, and a collaborative team approach is fostered to ensure consistency of curriculum delivery.
We look forward to meeting with you for a school tour of our exceptional educational facility

1. Re: Multiple email inbox with one workspaceJean AD Jul 30, 2012 4:42 AM (in response to Allan NameToUpdate)
Hi Allan,
This feature is possible however it does come with 2 limitations:
1. Regardless of what the To: address is, the From: name/reply address will always be only one of the multiple addresses. For example, if you have firstname.lastname@example.com and email@example.com going into the same workspace, all emails that come from this workspace will have a from name/reply address of the first configured email address for the workspace (email@example.com in this document). It will not differentiate between the two to determine what to display.
2. Also, editing any of the modified mail accounts via the web interface will overwrite any of the changes made in this document. You will have to re-do the changes.
In the FootPrints Incoming Email Setup (Administration|System|Email|Configure Incoming Mail), add each address and select a workspace for each address.
Next, open the MRMultiIncoming file found in FootPrints/etc/. Use a text editor such as Wordpad or Notepad to edit the file. Each line represents a different email address entered in the system email page. Each piece of information is delimited by a colon ":" character. The second to last piece of data represents the workspace number. Change each line's workspace number to match with the workspace number that should receive all of
the emails. Save and close the file.
Depending on the type of email account used, different instructions apply.
If the email accounts are IMAP, then edit the imap.txt file in the FootPrints/etc/ directory. In this file, each field is delimited by 3 colon ":::" characters. The last value is the workspace number. Again, change each value to match the workspace number that will receive all the emails. Save and close the file.
If the email accounts are POP, then edit the mrpop_%username%%workspacenumber%.bat file found in the FootPrints/cgi directory. In my example, I want to point firstname.lastname@example.com address to the Service Desk workspace. The email@example.com address is currently pointing to workspace 18. Therefore, the mrpop file will be named mrpop_appsupport18.bat. In this file are 3 lines. Changes need to be made to the first and
third line. The first line has data delimited by 1 colon. The last field has the workspace number. Change that value to match the receiving workspace's number (53 in my example). Do the same on the third line after the user name for the email account. This must be done for each pop account created.
Once the above steps are finished, each .bat file needs to be renamed to change the %workspacenumber% (ie the 18 in mrpop_appsupport18.bat). Change that number to match the receiving workspace's number.
The appsupport address will now be pointing to the Service Desk workspace.
Please note: Editing any of the modified mail accounts via the web interface will overwrite any of the changes made in this document. You will have to re-do the changes.
The next steps are optional. The following steps allow FootPrints to auto-assign a team based on the "To:" email address. For example, emails to firstname.lastname@example.com will automatically assign tickets to the Application Support team in my Service Desk workspace.
Edit the MRlocalDefs file found in the FootPrints/cgi directory using Notepad or Wordpad. Add the following line after the $NT = "NT"; line:
Save and close the file.
Next, double-click the icon below and open the file in Wordpad.
Edit the file to match up each incoming email address to a team name in the workspace. Be sure to leave the quotes in place as they are in the file and type in the team name exactly as it exists in the workspace.
Save the file as AutoAssignIncomingEmail.yaml into the FootPrints/etc directory.

2. Re: Multiple email inbox with one workspaceAllan NameToUpdate Jul 30, 2012 11:15 PM (in response to Jean AD)
Thanks Jean Abou-Diwan for your answer it's very informative.
Just want to try my luck for this question,
Is there anybody tried a way to workaround the limitation 1 which the "From" address display accordingly?.
Thanks in advance.
3. Re: Multiple email inbox with one workspaceJean AD Jul 31, 2012 2:29 AM (in response to Allan NameToUpdate)
I don't think it's possible, once it's created as a ticket, FootPrints can't send with a different FROM, from the same workspace....
You can manage this with multiple workspaces... but I always try to convince my customers to make a unique FROM because it's easier to manage. (and for incoming emails, I even manage this with some rules in outlook)
4. Re: Multiple email inbox with one workspaceMichael Santos Jul 31, 2012 11:12 AM (in response to Jean AD)
Jean is correct. I authored the document and without code changes, there will only be one FROM address/name.
Also, the PDF was originally a Word document that had the AutoAssignIncomingEmail.yaml file. It's not "clickable" in the PDF, so I'm attaching it here. You only need to use this and the MRlocalDefs variable if you wish to assign tickets to a team based on the address that the mail was sent to.

Hi !
I'm quite interested in that...as I have a project that read from multiple emails (it always send from the same email) but they use the incoming email to assign to one team.
At the begining I solved that using rules in Notes (with notes script) that add a text in the subject and a rule that send that email to the email that footprints read...and escalations that read the subject and assign to the group... It was working like a charm and had a lot of accounts working in that way...then we changed to outlook 365 and no option to change the subject of the email (only with transportation rules but they are restricted and are "general" rules so they affect to performance....so I had to find a plan B...I'll create (today I've made my first) one workspace for every email account that will only read the ticket and move to the good workspace adding to the title the text...
That doesn't like to me as I will had to have X workspaces for nothing... so I'll try that (I belive I've made test with toying with the MRmultiincoming but had problems...mainly that sometimes the emails to that accounts where send in cc or in cco not in To: and that I didn't know how to assign then the tickets to the team that should work with it - and that you have given me the clue)
So thanks...I'll see if I can do something with all that information.

today I will expend time playing with that but I've a question...the AutoassingIncomingEmail.yaml what read is the real TO: or take into account from wich email it cames?
I'll try to explain...if I don't have one email configured in the "configure incoming email" in the multiway that you explain can I still use the yaml for that?... I'll try to use email rules to simulate the all emails going to a single project...
I have email A, B, C and the D is the one that the workspace has configured...
I create a rule that says that A, B and C all the emails go to D (as I've done that I know that the TO: keeps the original A, B or C) the email will be readed by FP in the email D and if the yaml work I can say if it cames "from" A assgin Team A...if the TO: is B assign Team B...
I'll see if I've a way to test that...
I really need to have this working and this post as opened the eyes to a new way to do it...hope it works !

Hi !
I'm quite excited as it works...the only problem is that when I try to put more that one rule in the yaml (one for every to: email) it gives me an error... can you please tell me how will be done?
I'm doing in that way...but (for past experiences) I know that the yaml are a bit tricky with the spaces, enters...etc...
team: 'Team Vegas'
Can somebody tellme if it's right or how can it be done !
Sorry for kidnap the post but I really need that to work...it was a solution in the last minute !

Thanks for the offer !
At last I made it work (It was a matter to put an space before the team: and between the team: and the 'team' )...so I've made with 2 accounts and it seems to work...I'll try with more (only making test for now)...
I see that if they send to multiple TO's that won't work (only if the right one is the first) and that only works for To not for cc. I saw in and old numara post a "patch" to do that...but I see that is not official...
Do you know if you can put also the project: ? (I see in the the documentation of the old post but doesn't know if it was refering to the patcht they made or to the original issue the TO)
Thanks again for the offer
10. Re: Multiple email inbox with one workspaceAntonio Martorell Ferriol Sep 12, 2012 11:54 AM (in response to Allan NameToUpdate)
Sorry to resurect that treath !
Can it be assigned with the Yaml file to an agent instead of a team? how?
It only work for TO: not for CC: right?
11. Re: Multiple email inbox with one workspaceAntonio Martorell Ferriol May 15, 2013 3:59 AM (in response to Allan NameToUpdate)
I have to play with it again.. only the TO: assign...I've it working for an email but I have to add more and having problems with the yaml file... can anybody tell me how to do it for several accounts ?
What I've is that - the first one was working fine is after adding the second account that it keeps giving me errors in FP...
project: 27
team: 'TeamGreece'
from: 'TUI Travel PLC A&D'
reply: 'email@example.com'
project: 27
team: 'TeamTurkey'
from: 'TUI Travel PLC A&D'
reply: 'email@example.com'
There's any way I can test that before putting in production and get an error? that is working in the 11 ? I'm not at 10 but hope to change to 11 soon and want that to work
EDIT: I've found it I had to ask to install the ysh to be able to do the cat file.yaml | ysh but it allowed me to see what was wrong (an space in the last empty line)

Allan, and anyone else asking about how to control the Reply To: address and From: value used in notifications from the workspace that has multiple incoming mailboxes, see Antonio's post from May 15, 2013 and note how each entry in the .yaml file has a 'from' and 'reply' property. If an issue is assigned to the team matching the 'team' property of one of the yaml file entries, then the notification will use the 'from' and 'reply' value from that same entry.
To make all notifications from the workspace have the same from: and reply to:, you could add a line to MRlocalDefs
and then you don't have to define a 'from' and a 'reply' setting for each entry in the yaml file.

I have that exact situation and I know this article is quite old. Do you know the solution for v12? I can't find any of the files mentioned in this article in the FootPrints Directory.
I have two email accounts forwarded to one account. FP only checks one email account and I need to be able to assign teams based on who the email was addressed to.
Thanks, Abby Hebert

Iran has sent 'thousands' of troops to Syria to assist Russia in bolstering President Bashar Assad's regime, according to reports that have emerged this week.
Unnamed officials speaking to Reuters said that Aleppo, the major city in Syria's north, would be the focus of the new offensive. That is where Russian airstrikes have targeted U.S.-backed rebel groups, allowing Islamic State to move closer to the front lines against government forces. (RELATED: ISIS Has Actually Gained Ground Since Russian Airstrikes Began)
Iran has acknowledged supporting Syria's government with military advisors and specialists. But this week's incursion is the first non-covert entry of Iranian troops into the country.
One of the officers who spoke to Reuters said, "it is no longer hidden that thousands of Iranians are now in Syria and their role is fundamental" and that an attack is expected "soon."
The Iranian troop movement is likely to worsen violence between the regime and rebel groups. It may provoke Turkey, which opposes Assad, into further involvement in the region. So far, Turkish action has been limited to airstrikes against Islamic State — as well as occasional attacks on its own Kurdish rivals in Syria. (RELATED: Turkey's ISIS War Is About Much More Than ISIS)
There is also a risk of entanglement between American and Russian (or Iranian) assets in the area. U.S. warplanes have participated in airstrikes around Aleppo. And while they are reluctant to negotiate with Russian officials, the one area of concern on which the U.S. has turned to Russia is planned air maneuvers — to avoid a mid-air collision which would further escalate tension between the two countries.
Besides Iranian troops, forces from the Iranian-backed Lebanese militant group Hezbollah are involved in the deployment.

They say a person is never too old to learn something new and that happens to me often. A couple of months ago I learned that there is an entire world-wide subculture that enjoys videos of people getting their pimples and blackheads extracted by dermatologists. There's even a dermatologist in California who has become world-renowned by the title, Dr. Pimplepopper. It's been rumored that there is discussion about her hosting a reality TV show on one of the major cable networks.
In my teens I had a case of acne like many other teens. There was nothing good about having a face full of pimples except that everyday you got to stand in front of the medicine cabinet mirror and squeeze your bullets for a while. I wonder how many moms got pissed at having to wash the mirror so often?
Anyway, those days may be behind us as teens and others seem to be choosing to pay someone else to do the popping.
NOTE: Here's a sample of the hundreds, if not thousands, of videos that live on YouTube. Warning, if you have a weak constitution you may not want to click here.

Remodeling Your Home's Exterior
Luxury Bath offers the most ideal solution for all their clients' bathroom remodeling needs. Australian bathroom design This article discusses how to design a bathroom correctly, so it functions well for your family. If you want to hire a decorator, go right ahead, you have every right to. However, if you are looking to remodel your bathroom on budget, you may want to get ideas from somewhere else.
Also, considering the safety of your bathroom, electric wires and plumbing connections must be checked as part of bathroom remodeling costs. If you having the plumber move the plumbing for a different location of the fixtures then it will cost from $500 to several thousand dollars or more.
Sears quoted me an approximate cost of $10,000 to use acrylic and won't remove the tub except in pieces I cannot afford that. Otherwise, the cost of running new lines to your bathroom can dominate your budget. Be aware that moving the electrical and plumbing in your bath will increase the cost substantially.
I feel the same way about all the building shows where things are done in a flash at such a LOW cost. With a better understanding of what these changes will cost, you can better determine your budget for your dream bathroom remodel. New toilets, sinks and fixtures are one of the best ways to give your bathroom a quick boost.
A well done home remodel increases home resale value, with a return on investment of up to 80{8cff66e03fefcf64bd6092cf341640f4e6c07f325093f5e26fe55411f8ed2503}. Homeowners usually recoup at least 80 percent of the cost when they sell, which is higher than what people get for most other rooms. One of best ways to save and increase precious space in your bathroom is to forgo the bathtub and install a walk-in shower instead.

|In the bowl of a food processor, combine flour, salt, and sugar.
Add butter, and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal, 8 to 10 seconds.
With the machine running, add ice water in a slow, steady stream through feed tube.
Pulse until dough holds together without being wet or sticky. Be careful not to process more than 30 seconds.
To test, squeeze a small amount together: if it is crumbly, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time.
Divide dough into two equal balls.
Flatten each ball into a disk, and wrap in plastic.
Transfer to the refrigerator, and chill at least 1 hour.
Dough may be frozen for up to 1 month
To bake the crust without a filling:
Preheat the oven to 190°C (374°F)
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it out into 1/3 cm thick.
Fit the dough into a pie/tart pan.
Trim excess dough.
Chill for 15 minutes.
Place a parchment paper over the dough and fill with pie weights, or any kind of beans.
Transfer to the center of the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
Remove the pie weights and parchment paper and bake for additional 5-10 minutes, until the crust is golden.
Remove from the oven and let it cool.

Every Wednesday, in the center of Funchal, there is a farmers' market offering locally grown organic fruit and vegetables. It's advisable to come early because the demand for organic food is greater than what can be supplied. FreshBio also offers a weekly delivery service of fresh organic vegetables for inhabitants of Madeira.
The organic vegetables of FreshBio are produced at Quinta do Pomar. Because of the steep hills on Madeira, being a farmer is not an easy job.
Bernardo Araujo, Director of Agriculture and organic enthusiast, explains that it's the aim of the government to move to a more sustainable way of farming. One of the points in their strategic plan is to stimulate the organic production of bananas, the most exported agriculture product, mainly to mainland Portugal, via extra subsidies. Another important export product is of course the Madeira wine. The vineyards producing the wine have switched over to organic, so in a few years time there will be organic Madeira wine.
The 'Mercado dos Lavradores' is a covered farmers' market spanning two floors. No organic products, but lovely local Madeira produce: mainly vegetables, fruit, and colourful flowers.
You will find this label on locally produced Madeira products: bananas, liquor and more.
The fish market is located next to the veg and fruit market.
The somewhat scary looking 'espada' or black scabbardfish is line fished of the Madeiran coast in the Atlantic ocean. It can swim to a depth of 2.000 meters! The espada has very big eyes and lots of sharp teeth, contributing to its scary appearance.
Lapa is a local delicacy, served with garlic and lemon juice. Other local fish are dorade, pargo, sargo and robalo.
We enjoyed our meeting with Filipa Martins, one of the passionate volunteers at Organica, a non-profit organisation with a mission to promote organic food on Madeira. They started in 2012 during Food Revolution Day and at the moment there are five people, organising events, school sessions in which they prepare organic lunches with the help of chefs, and a campaign called the Bio Week.

How Parents Can Prepare Their Heirs And Keep the Money in the Family
It was the North African philosopher, Ibn Khaldun, who first made the now commonplace observation that the first generation founds the ruling house, the second generation makes it powerful and the third loses it all. So he said.
Through the years, there have been varying versions of the same theme. So now, you hear old people sigh and say that it is the first generation that establishes the family fortune, the second generation that makes it big, and the third that squanders it all away.
My father was trained in old-style banking, where people are actually lent money to start and grow real businesses rather than to use it for pure speculation. He rose from the ranks and certainly worked hard to become "the bankers' banker" he was regarded by the industry. Perhaps, too, certain circumstances in his life helped shape his values and attitude towards money. For instance, he was just two years old when he lost his father. He was raised by a mother who had a sharp nose for business and a thing for hard work. She made sure none of her kids would ever have an idle moment.
My father made all of us, his kids, work summers after graduating from grade school. Like everyone else, we had vacations—but only from school. Summers found us waking up early and dressing for work every day while our classmates went out to play.
In those days, the expression "child abuse" went by the name of discipline. And children never thought of questioning the discipline imposed on them by their parents. They might grumble under their breath but children never questioned their parents' discipline, obeying what they're told to do. This was true in our case, and every summer of my high school and college years, I went to work. Once, I was in New Accounts Department, in charge of stamping checkbooks. Another time, I was in the Personnel Department.
Aside from sheer obedience, what kept us children at our jobs was the fact that my mother stopped our allowance. We had to rely on what our summer jobs paid us. My parents had one thing in mind. It was not to rob us of our childhood. Rather, they wanted to teach us the value of money. This was the Golden Rule in our family. And we didn't consider ourselves rich. We never wanted for anything. Our parents took us abroad where we lived in a hotel for as long as a month, but we never stayed in a suite; we only had connecting rooms. We always thought rich referred to other people. And we wondered if the same frugality was taught the kids by such people.
Frankly, I know how to earn money but I don't know how large fortunes are made other than inheriting it. And I don't know if rags-to-riches stories are really true without some uncle in the background giving some propulsion. But I think I have observed some things by which fortunes are kept and not lost.
I encourage my kids to put aside a third of their income as soon as they gain some.
The publication, U.S. Banker reports on its website that at least $12 to $18 billion worth of wealth is passed on by parents to children in the next generation. These figures pertain to the United States, but since some of our own billionaires have made it to Forbes Magazine's list of the world's richest, it can be assumed that affluent families here are not far behind in bequeathing to their heirs the same, if not close to the kind of big bucks mentioned.
Citibank's Judith Go says, "It's crucial for families to ensure that their hard-earned wealth is not squandered away by future generations." So how to train children to be careful with money while having so much of it around?
The first rule is never to give them that much money. And this rule applies even to those who have been sent to study abroad. The dean at Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania told me that many parents of foreign students think that by giving their children a big allowance, their loneliness will be assuaged. Most untrue.
What happens is that your child will go on a spending spree, to shop for clothes or buy companionship by being the fool who always picks up the tab. Whatever good feeling your child gets from resorting to such activities is temporary. They will fall back into feeling homesick again. To this dean and my daughter's dismay, $150 a week was considered a big allowance.
Children should learn to live within a budget, a budget sufficient for their needs. For sure, it won't be enough for their wants, but that is another thing altogether. And for what they feel they just need to have—an iPhone or a Gucci tote—they will simply have to work for the money to buy those.
The ATM card has
The second rule is never to answer for your children's financial deficits. Once your children have gone overboard with their ATM, or worse, maxed out on their credit cards, do not volunteer to pay. Make the erring child propose a payment scheme. Help only after they have tried to solve their problem. But make sure you are paid back even if it will take years of monthly deductions from the child's allowance.
After you have saved enough—or inherited a lot—have a good investment plan.
Compounding the shopaholic's plight, credit card companies have invented the "
Ben Franklin, who wrote Poor Richard's Almanac said this about money: beware of little expenses; a small leak will sink a great ship.
My father told us never to buy anything that depreciates on amortization because, he said, "you don't have the money in your pocket and you are already spending it." And because that car (or, these days, that smartphone) will not have the same monetary value a month from now. A good money manager will advise you to purchase assets that appreciate and provide income.
Real estate is a different story. You and you alone should check the reputation and credit of the developer. Don't rely on brochures; don't be swayed by the advertisement that you can have luxury by paying only P2,000 a month for 60 months. Chances are you will have the luxury of stepping into a closet-sized apartment.
The third rule is to teach your children to save. Remember how our grandmothers always opened savings accounts for all the
For us fortunate few with parents who worked and saved so hard to be able to gift us with the good life, the only way we can show our appreciation is to be as prudent with the money they left us as they were in making it.
The fourth rule is, after you have saved enough—or inherited a lot—have a good investment plan. According to experienced managers like those with the Citigold Wealth Management group, assets should be allocated according to a person's goals, time horizon, and tolerance for risk. Remember that most get-rich-quick schemes are very high risk and can become, even more quickly, lose-it-all schemes.
Time and again we read about investment scams, pyramid schemes, and the great number of people who still fall for them. But gullibility is not a uniquely Filipino trait and these schemes all started and still flourish abroad. Everybody believes that it can happen to someone else but not to him. Well, you can be that somebody else's someone else.
I advised my stepdaughter, who is generous and always helpful, that the last people she should buy anything from or put her money with are friends and relatives. First of all, it is hard to say no, and when you do say no, they get mad at you. Invest with professionals, and only those connected with reputable firms. Don't be gulled by foreign degrees; these only show how sharp he is, and not all the time an indication of how honest he is. Forget the best friend or the daughter of Tita
Although there is no substitute for hard work, some of us may be luckier than our parents since we do not have to start at the bottom with an empty pocket. For us fortunate few with parents who worked and saved so hard to be able to gift us with the good life, the only way we can show our appreciation is to be as prudent with the money they left us as they were in making it. In this regard, I am reminded of a story told about the founder of the Oberoi hotel chain who built a small house on the same grounds where his son's huge mansion is. Asked why his house was so modest, he answered, "I didn't have a rich father."
These steps will ensure the family wealth is protected:
Protect your assets. Life insurance can help protect the wealth you have built over your lifetime. It can also shelter your heirs from estate taxes and provide income replacements for your loved ones.
Manage funds well. Borrow money to purchase assets that appreciate or provide income, but not to splurge on things you don't need. Make a financial plan. Handle windfalls well by putting away a good amount of investment.
Plan for your future. Save for retirement. Plan your retirement spending. Plan your estate so your taxes won't be so high.
Prepare your heirs. We all know we can't take it with us. Help your heirs to be adequately prepared to take over one day and handle the family wealth responsibly.

I've always loved wearing white-on-white looks. Although not the most practical, I still prefer it over all-black outfits any given day. It makes you look polished and instantly elevates even the most casual looks.
For this ensemble, I teamed my high-waisted shorts with a sleeveless peplum top from Let's Stylize. Business in the front and party at the back― this chic white number is great to wear to fun nights out with the girls and dinner dates with the beau. I especially like how the crisscross open back complements the lace-up detail of my heels.

Each teenagers were new to campus in September 2012, and the pair quickly turned mates via a shared appreciation of different rock bands such as Coheed and Cambria and Silversun Pickups. Early on, Duffin sensed that Jackie was keen on pursuing a romantic relationship with him. Duffin valued her friendship however politely rebuffed Jackie's advances for extra.
The new horror in locations like Afghanistan comes from a younger girl who is being pursued by drug traffickers everywhere in the countryside. She is on foot and alone. Her father offered her to the traffickers to repay a debt for cash he borrowed but then she escaped. This is common practice in some Islamic international locations, so the story goes. Her fate may be she might be or has been caught and given as a bride to a person. Or, what is now commonplace, she will probably be drained of blood, which is a salable commodity and used to repay the debt, as also are her physique parts. Her life has no value.
Now. That state of affairs does leave out a significant portion of the incoming freshmen who don't have any sense of their own talents and potential, and without the intellect to both succeed in faculty or anywhere else. A few of these college students are competent and bright, too, but have been stunted intellectually by the fraud perpetrated on them by the high school education they received. But that's one other matter.
We continue to offer that service because we have a deep commitment to bettering racial equity in our metropolis's schooling system, and imagine that the CEG has been instrumental in retaining the challenges dealing with Jacksonville's young black males front and center within the public dialogue. As I mentioned at our ONE by ONE Convention just a few weeks in the past, we all know our city can't succeed until all of our children succeed, and CEG's focus on younger black males is important to this purpose.

HOUSTON, Oct. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- W&T Offshore, Inc. (NYSE: WTI) announced today that it has closed its previously announced acquisition of exploration and production properties in the Gulf of Mexico from Newfield Exploration Company and its subsidiary, Newfield Exploration Gulf Coast LLC ("Newfield"). W&T is also providing an update of its current operations and 2012 production guidance.
W&T acquired 78 federal offshore lease blocks (two of which are held in escrow subject to the exercise or expiration of preferential rights held by a third party) on approximately 432,700 gross acres (416,000 gross acres excluding overriding royalty interests), which includes 65 blocks in the deepwater, six of which are producing; 10 blocks on the conventional shelf, four of which are producing; and an overriding royalty interest in three deepwater blocks, two of which are producing. W&T acquired total undeveloped leasehold acreage of approximately 312,000 gross acres, 91% of which is in deepwater. As of the closing date, the adjusted purchase price paid for the Newfield properties, as reflected on the preliminary closing statement, was approximately $208 million, subject to further post-effective date adjustments and assumption of asset retirement obligations associated with these properties. The acquisition was funded from W&T's available cash on hand and revolving credit facility.
Total proved and probable reserves acquired include 7.7 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMBoe) and 1.2 MMBoe, respectively, per third-party engineers' estimates as of July 1, 2012. During July, average production from these properties was approximately 8,350 Boe per day net, of which 37% was oil and approximately 75% was from the deepwater. W&T expects to take over operations of approximately 90% of the production.
The producing deepwater blocks are in the Garden Banks, Mississippi Canyon and Viosca Knoll areas. In addition to the production in those deepwater blocks, we acquired exploration potential in each of those areas, as well as in the Green Canyon and Atwater Valley areas. The producing conventional shelf leases are in Ship Shoal, West Cameron, Vermilion, and West Delta.
Tracy W. Krohn, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "This acquisition adds production, reserves, cash flow and several hundred million barrels of unrisked exploratory potential to our portfolio. With the addition of these primarily deepwater properties, we have substantially expanded our footprint in an area that offers significant upside potential."
Operations Update
Offshore, we are currently participating in three non-operated exploration wells and one operated development well. At our Mahogany field (SS 349/359), we are continuing our highly successful development drilling program and are nearing total depth on our fifth well in this program. Three non-operated offshore exploration wells are currently underway in the Gulf of Mexico, including Mississippi Canyon 698 ("Big Bend"), a potentially, oil focused high impact deepwater exploration well. Additionally, we have two exploration wells drilling on the shelf, one at West Cameron 73 and one at Main Pass 163.
Onshore we have a very active drilling program in three key areas. In the Permian Basin at our Yellow Rose field we currently have four operated rigs drilling. Three of our rigs are continuing our vertical Spraberry development program, while our fourth rig is drilling exploratory horizontal Wolfcamp wells. We expect two horizontal wells will be fracture stimulated and on test before year end. In Terry County, north of our Yellow Rose field, we also have one rig drilling a two well exploratory horizontal Wolfcamp program, which we also expect to be on test before year end. At our Star Prospect in East Texas, we have one operated rig drilling a horizontal exploration well in the James Lime, with another well to be drilled before the end of the year. Those wells are also expected to be down and on test before year end.
Production Guidance Update
With the closing of the acquisition of the Newfield properties and a number of events that impacted third quarter production, we are revising our 2012 production guidance. Our new production guidance includes the effect of production deferral resulting from Hurricane Isaac, Tropical Storm Debbie and third party pipeline outages, which combined, reduced total third quarter production by approximately 0.8 MBoe. In the fourth quarter of 2012, we will benefit from the contribution of the properties acquired from Newfield that are expected to contribute between 3.4 and 4.4 Bcfe to our 2012 annual guidance. Production in 2012 is also being reduced by approximately 1.8 Bcfe for the sale of South Timbalier 41 field effective April 1, 2012 and the sanding up of our A2 ST Mississippi Canyon 243 well. We expect to begin drilling a sidetrack of the A2 well before the end of the year. With the exception of South Timbalier 41, the deferral of production from these unexpected shut-ins referred to above, should not impact total proved reserves.
We now expect our full-year 2012 production to be between 17.1 and 17.8 MMBoe or 103 Bcfe and 107 Bcfe and are expecting to see a year end exit rate of approximately 50,000 to 55,000 Boe per day or 300 to 330 MMcfe per day. We expect that our full year estimate of lease operating and other expenses will continue to be in line with our prior expense guidance.

Globalists Want Chinese-Style Control for Americans Under Agenda 21
Aaron Dykes
September 28, 2012
While major metropolitan cities including San Francisco, New York and Boston are rolling out tiny micro-apartments, local and rural areas are working across the United States heartland to implement Agenda 21 containment policies by stealth.
Under H.U.D. grants driven by President Obama's Partnership for Sustainable Communities, regional governments are implementing "smart growth" and "sustainable" policies to force the population into concentrated development patterns that favor insider profits and "green"-branded solutions. It is a "planned-opolis" vision for the future where the State is God and the individual is subservient to the "greater good."
Whether or not such measures are preferable or favored by a majority is irrelevant to the fact that the public has not been properly informed nor has it been asked about this drastic shift in policies concerning property rights and lifestyle. Instead, a slow and sustained kettling has been underway to corral the population into a total control grid, circumventing the common practices of law while eroding at the natural rights recognized under the Bill of Rights, the Magna Carta, and other key documents. If the tyranny is not recognizable by its tip-toeing silence, then it is surely marked by its deceptive aims.
The already evident abuses of world government bodies (under various names and sub-organizations) is masked by declarations of respect for the environment, for human rights, and other lofty ideals. In reality, however, there are ruthless control freaks manipulating the terms of our enslavement. Real life measures for carbon tax schemes, energy austerity, food management, species & habitat management, re-wilding (land seizure) takeovers and more have been vehicles for eugenicist-banker led agendas– indeed ambitious components of Agenda 21 that are changing the rules of the game to the eternal detriment of freedom.

We were quickly followed by an entourage of local women. I guess they help tourists stay on their feet in hopes of tips.
The paths to the valley were narrow, sometimes steep and muddy. The views of terraced fields were gorgeous. Pigs, water buffalo, geese, dogs and chickens were everywhere.
It wasn't easy going but we did surprisingly well. We noticed a number of tourists along the way that had fallen into the mud. Fortunately, Dong took pity on us and took a shorter and less strenuous route.
Finally we descended the mountain and crossed a suspension bridge into the small Black Meung village of Lao Chải where we had lunch. They asked us if we wanted some happy water (rice wine) or to try a bong (with tobacco) but we declined.
Dong didn't need to ask, a car was waiting after lunch to take us back to the hotel.
It was a white knuckle ride up the mountain with its many hairpin turns, shear drop off and narrow road with two way traffic. I was happy when we arrived at the hotel.
Cora and John stayed at the hotel and I did a bit of shopping then returned and cleaned myself up.
We were picked up and taken to Lao Cai city where the train station is. It was also a bit hair raising with curving narrow roads, two way traffic and more drop offs. Our driver liked to pass other cars and trucks.
It was arranged to drop us off at a restaurant next to the train station. We walked around town a bit before going back to the restaurant for supper.
We then caught another overnight train back to Hanoi. I had a real challenge getting up to the top bunk so I stayed there all night until we arrived. The beds were much more comfortable than the ones we had going to Sapa.

A year later.
Too much to do, not enough time- same old excuses. You could call the last year "R&D", you could call at least two months of last year "Moving Giant Machines Around and Digging Giant Holes". You could also simply call it "Getting Ready".
I made a lot of things last year, so many of them worth uploading here, but I'm going to limit myself to showing five or six images of work, just to help get the old Blog show back on track.
three traditional, forge welded carpenters axes of various styles
Small jewelers raising hammer
Nano Carving axes
The real changes have been in the heavy equipment field.
The first, resounding addition to my arsenal is my 1921 Massey 2 CWT (110kg) power hammer which I bought, stripped, rebuilt, restored and installed last summer. Here is a photo of her in her freshly applied green (6002 emerald Green! ) warpaint. I will do a blog entry all about her very soon. Including a few videos of her throwing down.
Needless to say, the metal moving capability of this beast is simply remarkable compared to my 30kg goliath spring hammer. I am now limited by the metal I can heat up and carry, rather than the size of stock I that my gear can handle.
So that takes care of the large end of the spectrum. I have also collected my first ever piece of NEW (except hand tools such as grinders etc..) equipment, this Anyang 25kg (55lb)
I bought this hammer to compliment my new "annex" workshop which houses our traditional solid fuel forge and also provide a real delicate, finessed type of hammer blow (that is not to say the Massey is not controllable- you can really be very delicate with it if required)
This brings us on to the Coke forge itself, which has been a wonderful addition and so pleasant to use after years of standing next to gas furnaces. I was "brought up" on a solid fuel forge and having the use of it really feels like coming home in a lot of ways. It was all fine and dandy until after only 10 weeks of use the forge fan, after only the slightest adjustment to the electrical "rheostat" controls made a loud pop and caught fire. This lead to a 5 week wait on a replacement fan and after installing the new one, the rheostat doesn't work properly so I am stuck permanently on "half air", which for these fans is an awful lot, so my fuel consumption is rather high. these frustrations are sent to try us, I am sure. ...
My Dad using the Forge
Ive also picked up this nice vertical bandsaw (which promptly caught on fire after it's second use, causing an all out panic as the "on-fire" parts were totally sealed away under a panel held on with eight Allen key screws...) after the fire was dealt with (it was an electrical fault in the inverter) it sat, sulking in the corner for over a year awaiting me to organise and install replacement parts. Which I did!... eventually..
Since it's resurrection, I have been very pleased with its performance, and overall usefulness.
I also bought a large pedestal grinder which... promptly caught on fire! (old age, the motor was just fully burned out). The grinder is still sulking, or is it me that is sulking...? Anyway- anyone want a grinder?- it's cheap! )

The 33 hectare Nemunas Island in Kaunas was recommended as the site for the planned National Science and Innovation Centre in January 2016. The Island is currently used as a popular outdoor recreational space within our city, and is also home to Žalgiris Arena, Lithuania's largest sports and entertainment arena.
The Science Island initiative is a response to the success of international exemplar science centres, notably the Copernicus Science Centre in Warsaw, the Phaeno Science Centre in Wolfsburg, Germany, and the Experimentarium in Copenhagen, Denmark, all of which have popularised science through hands-on enquiry and exposition.
The architectural quality of the new Centre is a key project value, given Kaunas' architectural heritage. As the provisional capital of a newly-independent Lithuania in the interwar period, Kaunas experienced a cultural flowering as architects and engineers who graduated from Russian and European architecture schools created a unique concentration of Modernist architecture, drawing on international style tendencies – such as Bauhaus – as well as Lithuanian national styles. No wonder a total of 146 projects from architects and studios from all over the world were submitted to the design contest.
The Science Island Design Contest organized by Malcolm Reading Consultants is a one-stage anonymous competitive process to select three finalist practices who will each be awarded an honorarium of €15,000. The three finalists will be announced in a few weeks, and the final winner by the end of the year. National Science and Innovation Centre is planned to be opened in the end of 2018.
You can skim through all of the projects here (and leave your comments!) or, if you happen to be in Kaunas at the moment, do visit the exhibition in Žalgiris Arena (daily 11AM-8PM until Sept 27th). As the projects are exhibited in the perimeter around the main sports hall, you can easily imagine the proposed volumes in situ while looking through the panoramic windows of the arena.

Please note, these are instructions for regular top grain hide that has a smooth finish, not for suede and distressed leather.
1. Use a brush to remove all salt and dirt residue.
2. Create a mixture of one part vinegar and four parts water.
3. Dip a soft cloth into the water and vinegar mixture and rub a small area of the stain.
4. Dry with a soft cloth or towel then continue with another small area until complete.
5. Let the boots or shoes air dry for at least 30 minutes after you finish cleaning them then check to make sure the stains are gone. They may only show up after the leather has fully dried.
6. Condition the boots or shoes after they've completely dried, using either a natural oil or a specific oil for the type of leather your boots or shoes are made of. Regular conditioning throughout the winter will help strengthen the leather and keep them looking nicer and, most importantly, make them last longer.
