WorldTeach American Samoa volunteer Bryan updates us about adventures and competitions on the islands.
This weekend Colin and I decided to do some hiking behind our house, past To'o, and last beach. The goal was to get Colin to the cliffs of the Northern coast where you can look West just about all the way to Fitiuta on the other side of the island. As we made our way through the jungle, a relatively flat area that is easy to walk, Colin started pointing out all of the pig tracks. I was acting casual like it was no big deal, but through the half a dozen or so times I had been out there I had seen very few. Then Colin started pointing out all the muddy wallow pits where the pigs roll around to cool off. These were large, and looked very fresh, but I tried to act casual so he and/or I would not get spooked.
We were about 30 yards from the cliff edge when about 10 yards in front of us 3 piglets popped up, squealed and ran away. Immediately I started eyeing for the mother hog knowing that she might look to defend her little ones and attack us. Luckily this did not happen, but as I looked back I saw Colin skirting away without hesitation. We decided to abandon the cliffs and make our way back to the beach, but this time we wanted to avoid the mud so we walked around the pits and just a minute later we spooked some more pigs. This time we immediately heard the distinct grunt of an adult pig. There were two piglets that ran away and luckily for us the boss hog also ran away. I looked back this time and once again Colin was heading the other direction, away from the pigs and away from me.
He states that once I said "Yep that's a big one" he knew it was time to bail. I am not even sure if Colin saw any of the 6 pigs we stumbled upon. He made the right decision to get outta dodge quickly and quietly. I was more of just standing there, holding on to a branch and wondering if it would hod my weight as I would need to climb it to avoid the punishment of any mad pig. I am glad I did not have to find out. Ultimately, we made it back to the beach just fine and spent the rest of the day relaxing like a few beach bums.
A week or so ago I got to take 5 students to Tutuila for Speech Fest, which is an annual competition for the English departments from all the high schools in American Samoa. We were competing in four different categories, but sadly we did not place in any of them. Our students performed admirably, but we were not nearly as prepared as the other school who had been practicing since December. Due to our staff limitations during preparation for our WASC visit, we just did not have the time to properly prepare our students. Hopefully they will get to compete again next year and hopefully come back with some trophies.
The history departments across the islands hold National History Day for their competition. We sent two teams with two members in each. One of our teams won their category for a website documenting the life of Temple Grandin. They finished third in the overall competition that was between the winners in the different categories. The even better news is that the two students who placed for our school are both sophomores. One is a part of my NHS crew and the other will join NHS next year. They are promising students and one that all our staff enjoys working with. Sadly students as motivated as these two students are a real rarity in Manu'a.

2016 NEW YORK FILM FESTIVAL: Clever and beautifully endearing, Mike Mills' beautiful portrait of five people in the late 1970s is one of the year's most glamorous efforts. Vaunting an exceptional ensemble, Mills' wistful and ingenious script stands tall above the competition. Sweet-minded and shimmering in its comedic beats and even more irresistible in its dive into the dramatic elements, "20th Century Women" is one the year's most pleasant surprises.
The film tells the story of three women: Dorothea (Annette Bening), Abbie (Greta Gerwig) and Julie (Elle Fanning). The women explore love and freedom in Southern California during the late 1970s. In the middle of their self examinations is Jamie (Lucas Jade Zumann), Dorothea's son, a young boy trying to come to terms with his own self.
"20th Century Women" assembles scenes of ascertained wisdom. This is the master stroke in the actual creation of its central characters, all authentic and genuinely real. Mills' casual hand at storytelling reveals itself as something much deeper by film's end. He captures the essence of humanity, giving a refreshing peek into the dimension and clash between generations, all with their own unique voice.
Bening delivers her best performance since her Oscar-nominated turn in "American Beauty." She taps into the defensive yet vulnerable nature of Dorothea, allowing the audience to be invited into her world and happily just reside. Another Oscar-caliber performance from the veteran actress.
Gerwig's work is her most contrasting of anything she's done before. Not just playing eccentric or idiosyncratic for the sake of her audience, she discovers and exposes a fragility in herself as an actress. It's her finest work to date.
Fanning's capacity as an actress has been well noted throughout her young career. "Super 8," "Ginger & Rosa" and "Trumbo" just began to scratch the surface. As the promiscuous and tortured Julie, Fanning designs a convincing and distinct teenager in a time where adolescence is all too confusing.
Leading the charge is the young Zumann in his sophomore feature performance. He finds the willingness in Jamie to explore his world, and the pain of the absence of so much.
Billy Crudup, as the deeply sensitive William, finds his stride early on. He gives off Russell Hammond vibes in all the best ways.
What's best about "20th Century Women" is how much larger it feels. The exterior shows a small, coming-of-age indie gem but Mills utilizes the sensibilities of cinematographer Sean Porter. Porter keeps the reels intimate and nearly flawless. He paints a beautiful vision of life in the 1970s. Roger Neill's music is deeply affecting while Leslie Jones' editing gets most of the job done. An apparent hump exists, but for the final scene alone, everything will be forgiven.
"20th Century Women" is the best Centerpiece selection of the New York Film Festival since 2009's "Precious." The film deserves every bit of emotion it wrenches from your soul. It is a human comedy that touches the human factor. This is the film that the Oscars need to recognize in 2016, performances and all.
"20th Century Women" is distributed by A24 and is scheduled to be released on Dec. 25 (limited).

Peter Keightley began his world culinary tour at the age of fifteen when he received a scholarship to study Japanese at Shibuya senior high school in Tokyo. Following this influential year in Japan he experimented with Japanese food preparation in Canada.
He worked in kitchens throughout his school years and also started his first Catering company at eighteen with his best friend. He enrolled in Japanese Studies at McMaster University, ultimately dropping out in second year to move back to Japan. After two wild years in Tokyo studying Japanese further he moved back to Canada and settled in Montréal with the goal of studying French.
While living there he became involved with sailing, joining up as crew aboard the open 40 racing vessel, "Bleu Voile Océanique". Following his first Atlantic crossing with Bleu he landed in the Caribbean and took up residence on the island of Tortola. It was here that he started a career in high end cooking in restaurants and villas. After a year he was offered the position of chef aboard Sir Richard Branson's yacht S/Y Necker Belle. This launched him into an International chef career including working for the Sultan of Qatar, cooking for Paris Hilton, Princess Beatrice and many of the world's rich and famous. He has many exciting stories from his travels such as pirate attacks off the coast of Somalia, freak storms in the Mediterranean and tragedy in the lesser Antilles.
Peter has his captain's license in Canada and pilots a 36' Lobster trawler as well as a collection of sailboats. He loves to share with people not only his enthusiasm for world cuisine and culture, but also his passion for the water. In Drift he merges cooking and sailing by offering up his life experience both on land and out on Lake Huron. He can be found in Bayfield either in the kitchen creating, on the water with guests for a sunset sail, or at the bar mixing cocktails for "Drifters".

The hot vampire recently decided to start his music career. Not as if he wasn't perfect enough, we can shortly listen to his voice over and over again. Fulfilling his dream to become a singer will increase the number of his fans, charming them away with his modern romantic style.
The British actor, who actually got famous for his vampire role
in the fantastic romance story Twilight, has decided to release
some of his works in music. Believe it or not, he's playing the
guitar and piano to and he's even composing.
Pattison has been writing songs and performing at small venues and he's absolutely ready to release an album. He's quite shy, so he decided just to enjoy working with some good musicians, who are also old friends of his, and probably don't really care if it will be sold out or not.
For now, all we can find, are some amateur videos about his performances, but he surely has much to promise. The biggest hit is that they even included a few songs of his in the New Moon soundtrack and Pattison wants to compose songs for the third part of the vampire story, Eclipse.
Listening to his work will be more than a thrill, but does this mean he's quitting and stop acting? Robert is decided not to release any videos, avoiding any extra income from his music career. He says he just wants to have a back-up plan, playing in pubs and other small places.
But let's face it: he's already the hottest vampire alive. Releasing the soundtrack for Eclipse will surely make a hit and drive all his fans crazy. So let's see what's more to find out about this gorgeous British guy and till than, listen to the soundtrack of "How to Be", another collection of Pattison's work.

Did you know that if you drank a Coca Cola in 1914 you would be getting a healthy shot of Cocaine along with your soda or if you bumped across the states unpaved paths that year in
your Model T Ford, you might be dreaming about a road with some type of smooth paved surface like asphalt.
Chemistry has changed lives in the last 104 years in Maryland? In October of 1914 the Maryland Section of American Chemical Society held its first meeting to help scientists deal with real world problems through improvements in Chemistry. Since that time chemists have made dramatic accomplishments that have changed the lives and life spans in every area of modern existence. For example, in Agriculture, Farmers in Maryland have doubled and then doubled again the crop production on each acre of land from advances in agriculture in the state since 1914.
Try to go for one hour without touching a piece of plastic and imagine how this simple chemical invention has revolutionized our daily lives in the last 104 years. Think about how you great grandparents faced the life threatened effects of Polio or treated infections without antibiotics. Chemistry is an integral part of our daily lives, just as it was 104 years ago.
The Maryland Section of American Chemical Society held a 100th Anniversary Gala at the Maryland Science Center on Friday, Oct. 17th, 2014 with a Maryland Governor's Proclamation delivered by Dr. Robert M. Summers, Secretary Maryland Depart of the Environment and a keynote addresses by Bill Carroll Director-at-Large, Chair of the Board American Chemical Society.
Dr. Keri-Beth Pettengill, Director of the Bioprocessing Technology Program at Frederick Community College received the Prestigious Braude Award at the 2014th E!00th Year celebration event. This was the first time a faculty member from a two year institution had been
This prestigious award honors outstanding academic faculty who contribute to significant research accomplishments in Maryland in memory of the outstanding chemist George Braude who founded the award.
The Maryland Section continues to celebrate the accomplishments of advances in chemistry through the accomplishments of its members. They are on the forefront promoting opportunities for education and advancement in chemistry.
The Maryland Section Charter established in 1914 is shown below:
Before 1914, the nearest ACS Section was the Washington Section. If you think that Route 95 is tough to travel today, travel between Baltimore and Washington was undoubtedly even more difficult in the early part of the 20th century. In 1911, a group of chemists headed by Ira Remsen, then the president of Johns Hopkins,founded the Baltimore branch of the
The official petition for the Maryland section founding, addressed to the Council of the American Chemical Society, was dated June 1, 1914. It stated that the headquarters would be in Baltimore, and it bore twenty
signatures of Baltimore area chemists. Among them was W. D. Penniman, whos engineering company (Penniman & Browns, Inc., Chemists, Engineers and Inspectors, Falls Road) is still in business.
The first Maryland section meeting...
The new section meeting was held on October 10, 1914, at Hopkins Hall. It was called to order by C. P. Van Gundy (another one of the twenty petition signers) at 8:30 PM. The constitution and by-laws of the Baltimore Branch of the Washington Section was adopted, with "such changes as are necessary", by the Maryland Section. An election of officers followed - the aforementioned W. B. D. Penniman and C. Glaser were nominated for chairman, and W. B. D. Penniman was elected. Also, J. C. W. Frazer was chosen to be vice-chairman, F. M. Boyles became secretary-treasurer while C P. Van Gundy and J. H. Shrader became members of the executive committee. Dr. Glaser presented a paper entitled "The Catalytic Decomposition of Bornyl Chloride by Copper" (Bornyl Chloride: 3-chloro-4,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptane). The meeting adjourned at 10 P.M.; the attendance was 31.
Increase in academic and Industrial laboratories
lead to an increase in membership...
The total membership of the section in 1914 was 90 members; it is about 2000 today. There is a good reason for this increase: there are many more chemists in the area served by the section than there were in 1914. They work in the numerous academic, industrial and government laboratories in the area. Here are few examples:
The McCormick Co. was founded in 1889, so it was well established by 1914. Since then, the W. R Grace Co. and the Millennium Inorganic Chemicals (formerly SCM Corporation), Becton-Dickinson. Gascoyne Laboratories and Guilford Pharmaceuticals (to name only a few), have arrived.
Examples of government laboratories within the section are Aberdeen Proving Grounds, Edgewood, the Maryland State Department of Health, Frederick Cancer Research Center and the State Police Crime Laboratory and, of course, the Maryland Section is home to many outstanding academic institutions: universities, four-year colleges and community colleges. All of these places have a history or excellence in research (and the academic institutions excel in teaching, also). It is not surprising that many world-famous products (e.g. Saccharin, Mercurochrome, Bromo-Seltzer and Bufferin) were discovered within the boundaries of the section
C₇H₅NO₃S C₂₀H₈Br₂HgNa₂O₆ C33H41BrKN6NaO16 CH3COOC6H4COOH
Bromo-Seltzer, was a brand of antacid to relieve pain occurring together with heartburn, upset stomach, or acid indigestion. First produced by inventor Isaac E. Emerson's drug company of Baltimore, Maryland, in 1888, Bromo-Seltzer was sold in the United States in the form of effervescent granules which must be mixed with water before ingestion. You can visit the tower!
Today, the Maryland section is as active as ever. The regular meetings begun on October 10, 1914, are still held. The section co-sponsors the annual, highly prestigious Remsen Award with The Johns Hopkins University; recipients have gone onto win Nobel Prizes. In 2017, however, we had a Nobel Laureate win the Remsen award. One of the most important goals of the Section is to reach out to the young chemists of the future. The section has a very strong outreach programs for K-12 students and supports graduate and undergraduate students in their chemistry careers and scientific research. Some of the events include: (l) Annual awards to an outstanding chemistry student at each academic institution within the section, (2) Active participation in National Chemistry week, (3) Annual sponsoring awards and programs for high school teachers, (4) Annual participating in the US National Chemistry Olympiad, co-sponsored by the national office of the ACS and (5) annual Awards to distinguished chemist in the nation and in Maryland area ( the Maryland Chemist of the Year Award). In recent years, the section has established a program recognizing individuals for 50/60/70 years of membership in ACS and for their valuable contribution to the chemistry field.
The Maryland section has indeed had a distinguished past, and it looks forward to an even brighter and more productive future.

So, why is there a whole page on Bass Arpeggios? Why are they so Important to learn?
Fact of the matter is, most basslines are built using Arpeggios as a/the main part of the bassline!
There are a quite a few reasons why Arpeggios are so useful when it comes to playing any kind of music, especially on the bass:
1. They are the best way to outline many different kinds of chords.
Many different kinds of Scales and Chords can be built out of each Arpeggio. Knowing many of them will give you different ways of looking at various kinds of harmony.
2. With enough practice, they will allow you to learn the notes on the neck much easier.
If you can play Bass Arpeggios up and down the neck proficiently, you'll have a much better grasp of the neck.
3. They are fairly simple to play.
Due to the fact that there are only a few notes to learn for each one, they don't take as long to learn as scales, or even chords.
4. The Patterns are movable up and down the neck.
The Major 7 Arpeggio, for example, is the same up and down the neck. It is the same for every other root up and down the neck.
5. They give you a lot of harmonic information with a few notes.
Playing through even the simplest Arpeggio will give you all sorts of information about what kinds of Scales and Chords you can play with it.
The following examples were all written in the key of C Major.
Lets take a look, shall we? :)

Remakes of old abandoned games: action-adventure
Games running on DOS date back to the XX century and, well, there's no other way you can define them - they're just dated. Graphics, user experience, and sounds vastly progressed over the years: Today's games belong to an entirely different world.
Many of the old games that used to run on DOS have been recreated from scratch to varying degrees of faithfulness, whether by the hands of big gaming companies or indie developers. Some of these remakes are available as free games, while others can only be played online, and some are available for purchase.
Here's a list of remakes and ported games for the benefit of nostalgic enthusiasts and new generations of gamers alike.
Action-adventureAction adventure games combine features from both action and adventure games. The name itself is quite generic, as it includes a large number of different games. Normally, action adventures require quickness and dexterity when it's about the action, and careful thinking for the adventure part.

All of Java's Input/Output (I/O) facilities are based on streams, which provide simple ways to read and write data of different types. Java provides many different kinds of streams, each with its own application. The universe of streams is divided into four large categories: input streams and output streams, for reading and writing binary data; and readers and writers, for reading and writing textual (character) data. You're almost certainly familiar with the basic kinds of streams--but did you know that there's a CipherInputStream for reading encrypted data? And a ZipOutputStream for automatically compressing data? Do you know how to use buffered streams effectively to make your I/O operations more efficient? Java I/O, 2nd Edition has been updated for Java 5.0 APIs and tells you all you ever need to know about streams--and probably more.
A discussion of I/O wouldn't be complete without treatment of character sets and formatting. Java supports the Unicode standard, which provides definitions for the character sets of most written languages. Consequently, Java is the first programming language that lets you do I/O in virtually any language. Java also provides a sophisticated model for formatting textual and numeric data. Java I/O, 2nd Edition shows you how to control number formatting, use characters aside from the standard (but outdated) ASCII character set, and get a head start on writing truly multilingual software.
Java I/O, 2nd Edition includes:
- Coverage of all I/O classes and related classes
- In-depth coverage of Java's number formatting facilities and its support for international character sets

INSTRUCTIONSPrint Project
- Cut card base to 8-3/4" by 6" and fold at the side.
- Cut red cardstock to 4-3/8" by 6" and adhere to the front of the card.
- Cut green card stock to match the I Beam Stencil.
- Place I Beam Stencil on card stock. Tape edges with removable tape.
- Load the stencil brush with green from the ink pad.
- Tap off the excess ink on paper towel.
- Use the loaded stencil brush in gentle circles over the top of the stencil to create a subtly stenciled background.
- Cut Sticky Panels and a panel of white cardstock to the size of the Candy Cane Stencil.

- Place the project face down on a flat surface.
- Carefully peel a corner up from the edge of the stencil and use it to gently remove the mounting paper from the stencil.

A Lesson in Self Discovery for Early Elementary Students
The Art Lesson is a great book to use with early elementary school students or pre-school students for a read aloud. This story can be used to teach students about their own interests, how their classmates have diverse interests, ways to cope with disappointment (and not be afraid of it,) and finally discover that everyone has to practice to get good at something.
I recommend using post it notes to highlight the pages in The Art Lesson as noted below. On these post its list one or two teaching tips you want to talk about with your students.
This lesson is one that welcomes open discussion with your students. Since these discussions can be lengthy you may want to consider limiting the number of students who may comment on each page. I also encourage you to read through the story one time all the way first without stopping. After this re-read the story using the post it notes and encouraging discussion.
You'll have to gauge what is right for you group of students for the above. Some have longer attention spans than others alter it to fit their needs.
Page 2 Post It:
We discover on page one of The Art Lesson that Tommy loves to draw. On page two we learn that his friends also have things that they love to do. Jack collects turtles, Herbie makes cities in his sandbox, and Jeannie likes to do cartwheels.
Ask your students what it is that they like to do the best?
What do some of their friends and siblings like to do?
Point out that everyone has diverse interests that are unique to them. Explain how this is a wonderful thing about people. Just like the colors of the rainbow we are all different and beautiful in our own way.
Page 4, Post It 1:
As The Art Lesson progresses we learn that two of Tommy's cousins are in art school to become real artists. They've told Tommy never to copy and to practice, practice, practice.
Ask your students why the cousins told Tommy never to copy.
Explore the idea with the class of how important it is to be true to your self in all you do. Be original, be unique. Discuss times when they went against the crowd or norm and did what was true to them. Tell them examples of when you did or someone you know did.
Page 4, Post It 2:
Ask your students why the cousins told him to practice his art.
Discuss how it's important to practice at anything you want to be good at doing. Tell the class how although we each are inclined to do one thing or another everyone must practice. Give examples of sports figures, singers, etc. and how much time they spend practicing.
It's important to teach kids this lesson. Many kids have the mistaken belief that you're either good at something or not. Teach them early on to practice to be good at what you want to do.
Page 13, Post It:
After seeing on the previous pages how many people love Tommy's artwork we now get to watch Tommy go to Kindergarten. He's been waiting for this so he can have 'real' art lessons.
As he meets his teacher, Miss. Bird, Tommy's first question is "When do we have our art lessons?" He just can't wait!
He learns here that kindergarteners don't have art lessons. He's told he has to wait again until next year and first grade.
Ask your students:
How do you think Tommy feels when he learns he has to wait till first grade for art lessons?
Discuss with the class that Tommy probably feels disappointed. Ask the students if they've ever experienced being disappointed. When? What happened?
Find out how the students coped and felt? Were they angry, sad, didn't care?
Then discover what they did to feel better. Discuss positive ways to move from disappointment to feeling better. This is an important life lesson.
Let kids know that they will be disappointed in life and that's okay. It's part of life and it's okay to feel that way. Teach them hear (by simply beginning a discussion) that there are steps to take to stop feeling sad or bad.
Use examples of your own life and other people you know. Once again using famous figures here is a good idea. Many of them are idolized and for kids to know they too have been disappointed but kept their chins up and never gave up is important.
Finish the book and let discussion flow.
Complete this lesson by asking students to draw ways that they can feel better when they get disappointed.
Many lessons evolve into other mini-lessons if you let the students guide the discussions (with your oversight and guidance.)
Extension Activities
This lesson plan will take up the majority of a regular class time. Engaging in conversation related to the text is the most important part of this lesson.
If you need to extend it here are a few simple activities:
- Draw it! Ask students to draw a coping skill they used in the past to deal with a let down.
- Draw it! Ask students to draw a coping skill they learned about in this lesson that they may try in the future.
- Write both of the above.

March 21 - April 20
If you are not in a relationship and wish to be, I think it is a good idea to get an akarshan yantra and place it in the north east of your home. Because you have worked so hard in December, Venus blesses you with big pay checks.
Apr 21 - May 20
After Christmas, travel and education is on the cards, especially with family members. To balance yourself, place a fuchsia pink cushion in the south east corner of your house. This will help bring in peace and good health.
May 21 - June 21
For those who are having a bad month when it comes to finances, place a money plant in the extreme north corner of your house.Wear topaz jewellery as it helps bring peace in the family. A topaz pendant or ring will help you settle down.
June 22 - July 23
Be it your bracelet, necklace or clothes, wear all shades of pink. Use pink even when you are gifting something to your friends. The last week of the month will be fantastic as those who are single will find the special someone.
July 24 - Aug 23
December is a party month and the party animal in you will enjoy it to the maximum. Put lots of yellow coloured cushions in the east of your home and office. If you can get a sun yantra, this would be the time to use it!
Aug 24 - Sept 23
December will be an exciting month for Virgo as love and intimacy are heightened especially if you are planning to go away for Christmas and New Year. Some may have a special surprise in store if you are in a relationship.
Sept 24 - Oct 22
You need the help of Mars this month. If you suffer from high BP, keep a red cushion in the extreme south of your bedroom and if it is too open or too light, move heavier furniture into that room. This will help you to think of creative ideas.
Oct 23 - Nov 22
If the north of your property is blocked by heavy furniture, remove it and paint it parrot green. Also check the centre of house or office, clear it and place a copper bowl with drinking water and some flowers on the spot. This will invite blessings.
Dec 23 - Jan 20
For more tranquility in the coming year, the room in the east should be made into a meditation room and filled with light colours and pictures of your favourite gods to help you concentrate better on meditation.
Jan 21 - Feb 19
You will seem to have the Midas touch and people are intuitively attracted to you. To continue to feel that power, I would suggest you place a sri yantra on your puja table in the North, and thank god for all the blessings he has bestowed.
Feb 20 - Mar 20
December may be a difficult month for the shy Pisces. To protect yourself, wear lots of white and blue t-shirts and hang thick curtains in south and west of your home. Rest assured your private life will not be scrutinised.

Clevagen Intensive™ is a revolutionary an all natural, two-part proven system for increasing your breast size. Clevagen Intensive™ now has the extra powerful ingredient Volufiline™, and Clinically Studies showed Increased Breast Size By Up To 8.4% In Less Than 60 Days!
Not like many of the unproven products on the market, Clevagen™ is a new breakthrough breast enhancement therapy program that works both internally and externally to help firm and enlarge women's breasts for a fuller more youthful appearance.
This daily supplement pill is taken twice per day depending on desired results.
This all natural daily supplement that contains Natural, SAFE Phytoestrogens. Clevagen Naturally Increases Overall Breast Volume! Overall breast size and fullness is impacted by the stimulating presence of hormones like estrogen.
The building blocks of the powerful Clevagen™ System is a Daily Supplement pill that contains a powerful natural, safe phytoestrogens that naturally stimulate the action of estrogen to firm and lift your breast tissues.
Clevagen is also formulated with a variety of potent herbals, nutrients, antioxidants and hormone balancers that promote overall breast health while also reducing symptoms and complications associated with PMS, menopause, diminished sex drive, vaginal dryness, and other unpleasant sexual problems.
Step 2: Along with the daily supplements pills you apply Clevagen™ Lifting & Firming Cream to your breasts every day and watch over the next 60 days as this stimulating product delivers vital cell-plumping action directly to your breast tissue.
The secret ingredient is Volufiline™, which has been clinically proven to increase breast size by up to 8.4% in less than 60 days.
Volufiline™ contains sarsasapogenin, which stimulate lipogenesis – which simply means it interacts with the fatty tissue in the breast, causing the fat cells to grow meaning that your breasts become larger and firmer.
Now you can enjoy enhanced breast fullness, firmness, and even have cleavage, without harmful side effects, health risks, or damage to from risky surgery to your breasts!
Clevagen™ Lifting & Firming Cream is formulated with a 3% concentration of Volufiline™ to maximize safety and results for continuous usage.
Developed by a leading team of scientists, and subjected to rigorous laboratory and human testing, Volufiline™, the foundation ingredient of the Clevagen™ Firming Cream, has been shown in both clinical trials and in a human study to increase the volume of adipose tissue in the breasts by up to 8.4% for a noticeable, measurable increase in the overall breast size and shape!
... For a noticeable, measurable increase in the overall breast volume!
Volufiline™ contains sarsasapogenin, which stimulate lipogenesis – which simply means it interacts with the fatty tissue in the breast, causing the fat cells to grow in quantity and volume for fuller, firmer looking breasts.
Clevagen Firming Cream has been formulated with an ideal 3% concentration of Volufiline™ for maximum results (for as long as you continue using the Firming Cream).
The Clevagen Cream with Volufiline™ works by naturally increasing the fatty tissue in the breast area for a noticeable increase in breast volume.
This is considered very safe given that your breasts are already made up almost entirely of mammary glands and fatty tissue!
Just look at how Volufiline™ performed in laboratory testing:
Testing in the lab was just the first step...
In order to make sure that Volufiline™ would absolutely work for any woman, a group of 32 volunteer women were recruited.
Each woman participating met the following criteria:
... Then, each woman participating in the trial was instructed to apply Volufiline™ to ONE breast, twice daily.
Scientists then compared and measured the treated breast against the untreated breast of each woman at Day 28 and Day 56, looking for differences.
Here's what they found:
Note that 25% of women participating saw a 6.6% increase after 28 days... and a 8.4% increase after 56 days!
Here's a visual representation of the percentage increase:
The conclusion is clear:
While results do vary by individual, Volufiline™ has been proven in clinical trials and a human study to *measurably* increase volume of fat tissue in the breast...
... Resulting in breasts that both look FULLER and feel FIRMER!
Women who participated in the human trial for Volufiline™ saw results by day 28 and even greater results after 56 days.
Clevagen™, however, contains FAR MORE than just Volufiline™. It's a complete, two-part natural breast enhancement system that includes a wide range of other positive health attributes:
Because every woman is different, it is difficult to say exactly when you will see noticeable results.
But, in general most women should expect to begin noticing RESULTS approximately 28 days after starting the Clevagen™ therapy.
Remember you can also expect additional results by day 56... with the BEST results visible after continuous usage of 90 days or more.
Keep in mind, that just like taking a daily vitamin, you will only continue experiencing the cumulative benefits of Clevagen™ for as long as you continue using the therapy system.
If you could buy Clevagen™ at a pharmacy, this product could be more than $89.95, for a one month supply.
With our special online offer women around the world are realizing the dream of larger breasts without having to spend hundreds of dollars on products at local drug stores that simply do not work. We have taken the middle man out and now allow women to order directly from our US manufacturer so we can keep our cost lower than almost any other similar product. A PROVEN product at an AFFORDABLE price is our top priority; its also why we have so many happy repeat customers.
Even more- we are now offering additional value when you purchase one of our VALUE ADDED packages to start the Clevagen™ therapy: we currently offer some packages for as little as $49.95 per month, less than you would pay for a quality vitamin supplement or skin cleanser per month.
... Only you're getting the COMPLETE Clevagen™ Therapy System for this same low price!
Time to put your priority in the right place, time to spoil yourself with something you have always wanted for less money than most women spend per month on hair and beauty produts that don't have nearly the impact as getting LARGER BREASTS. This all natural therapy is not only proven it is also a much more affordable way to see noticeable results and much safer that procedures like artificial implants, fat augmentation, or breasts pumps that can cost $2,500 to $10,000 or more.
With Clevagen Intensive there is a reason we have so many happy repeat customers: We have created a great PRODUCT with great VAULE. WHAT'S EVEN BETTER IS THAT THIS PRODUCT IS SAFE AND PROVEN!
Your friends will think you got implants but you won't have the down-time away from work and you won't have the large credit card bill to pay for the surgery. There is a reason that fewer and fewer women are now having breast implant surgery. Natural enhancment supplements are here to stay! They now finally work!
Clevagen™ Breast Enhancement System is all NATURALL!
Our product will give you the curves you always wanted and also help with unpleasant symptoms of PMS, menopause, diminished sex drive, vaginal dryness, and more!
Be one of the many women who have experienced the tremendous benefits of CLEVAGEN INTENSIVE!

Update: Telltale's Teasing Us With Walking Dead Season 2 Trailer
Update: Telltale's Teasing Us With Walking Dead Season 2 Trailer
Probable Christa sighting, and a whole lot more.
Telltale's The Walking Dead Season Two is so close we can almost taste it, and the developer's been teasing the world with Clementine-themed Vine shorts. But that's not all it's teasing us with: there's a big announcement due later on, and if you don't want to miss it, better start paying attention aroundabout 12pm PST, or 3pm Eastern Standard.
Yeah, I know, the suspense, killing me, and so forth. We know Clementine's the main character this time around, we know that Omid's going to show up, but beyond that, it's all one big zombie-infested mystery. What's that house in the Vine shot? Does it really have electricity? Why's Clem splattered with gore?
Aaaarrrrghllllll ...
This one's due on Steam December 17th, Xbox December 18th, and an unknown date for other platforms.
Source: Telltale Twitter
Update: Trailer added!
Clem, being horrifically traumatised by all the deaths she has seen including that big one at the end of season one (spoilers), turns into a serial killer and you play the game hunting down the remaining survivors, winning their trust with her cute charms and then brutally murdering them one by one? Could explain why she's spattered with gore...
Looking forward to this one immensely. I'm really interested to see how the 400 days group fits into all this. Will they just be bit players in Clementine's story or are they going to be the new main characters? I can't see those people taking orders from Clem like the old group did with Lee.
Also, anyone else just not get Vine? It just seems like a shittier youtube. At first I thought it was just Twitter for cameras, but where twitter is in-the-moment thoughts, you still have to dig out your camera phone, frame, film, edit, and post a video. And youtube can still do all of that. I don't get it.
An overly elaborate explanation with a humourous twist to a situation with a benign answer - I like you. Just don't wander outside the realms of fiction with this talent, or else the reptilians will devour your brain!
Well Episode 2 takes place three months after the outbreak, and while its uncertain to be sure how long (at least through in game means), Episode 3 seems to only take place a few weeks after Episode 2. Episode 3, 4, and 5 take place over the course of three to five days. So going off of all of that, it seems that the end of Episode 5 is about four months into the outbreak, somewhere around 90 - 120 days. Give it the benefit of the doubt and make it five months, its still roughly an entire year between the end of Episode 5 and the conclusion of 400 Days.
My guess - we'll either see them, or at least signs of them, in each episode, and to see all of them, this season will be stretch along that time of what 400 Days was (259 Days, so eight months), or everything will be happening well over a year after the end of Episode 5. I'm leaning towards the latter, since Clem does look older.
There's a guy who looks identical to Kenny at 0:38 in the trailer.
ERMERGERD I AM SO EXCITED! The feels! The feels will be too much! I don't think I can survive this alone! Quick! Someone hold me!
Aw man, I'm having flashbacks to the final episode of the previous season because of that one clip they used.
Dem feels man. ;.;
Totally excited for this though, the time to get on the feel train is nigh!
So, people I'm sure I spotted include:
Also, in the shots of Season 1, the ones that are from Episode 3, 4, and 5, she's clearly not wearing the hoodie from the stationwagon, so has that become canonical? More pressing, does that mean a lot of major choices were decided as to whether *this* happened or *that* happened without regard to a player save import? Because thats probably the worst decision they could've made going into Season 2, and it'd certainly create an enormous disconnect. For example, when I played, I:
-Stole from the abandoned stationwagon
Just to name a few major ones off the top of my head. Those are minor decisions, those are huge decisions, and it'd be jarring for me to see any of them different from what I chose. I mean, I know you can't account for everything, but there's going to be some major disconnect inbound when people go "Wait, I didn't cut off Lee's arm? Why does he have an arm?!", "I had Clem leave Lee, why did she shoot him in my version?" and so on. TTG obviously made the trailer to hide as many of these decisions as possible, just so that the trailer jives with everybody as much as possible, but now I'm left questioning what decisions they made about the game. This isn't a minor quibble, its like if some of the most major decisions in Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 got screwed up in import. Whether its significant or not is one thing, and if they never reveal things like who the killed The Stranger, thats fine, but if they show who killed The Stranger, and it was different from who did it in your playthrough, thats really going to take a huge bite out of the experience.
I wouldn't be so worried about this if TTG just answered my damn tweets to as whether or not they have a save import.
Honestly though, I doubt it, thats just a tinfoil hat theory. Lets face it, that would be the second most unrealistic thing in the TTG TWD franchise so far, with only, well, the very existence of zombies ahead of it in terms of being "unrealistic".
From what they have said I am fairly certain if you have a save file from your play through it can load that and your choices will be the ones that you chose on your play though. I may be wrong, but thats how I understood it. Guess we will know for sure next week haha.
That would be awesome if it were like that, and they actually have the save imports work this time XD
I thought so too, went back and paused. I googled images of Kenny... it might be. Red hat, bit of stubble, flared hair.
... Not sure if I'm a sad person for doing that. Kinda hope he doesn't show in Episode 1, though. Unless he's batshit crazy.
Oh Mylanta, Telltale has resorted to reusing dead characters. This must somehow be part of a sinister plan to screw over us poor consumers.
I mean, I clearly saw Kenny get forced off screen while being suspiciously unharmed, he's 100% dead. No doubt about it.
TTG didn't say which episode, just that he'd make an appearance in Season 2. Hell, they didn't even say that he'd be alive, so who knows. Could be alive, could be walker, or a corpse, or a memory from the Season 1. I'm hoping the latter, and that they use it to actually show a scene with Clem and without Lee.
Hands off mai Clementine >:0
First off, you likely should have that list with what you did in the first game as spoilers. Most of it is pretty harmless. But the last one is a major thing, and you never know when someone who hasn't played it might stumble on your comment.
Second, I doubt that the decisions being brought over will be much of an issue. Mostly because most of the decisions didn't really change anything in game. I played through it a second time with a friend, who made quite a few different decisions than I did. And he didn't really have anything different happen. They honestly did an excellent job of making your choices seem important without them actually effecting anything.
Other than some character-model changes and some bits of dialogue, I don't think it'll be a lot more work for Telltale. But I might be wrong about that. They might do it different in season two. We'll just have to see.
I'm just honestly kind of worried that this won't be as good as season one was. Clem was a big reason season one had the emotional punch is did. You didn't control her, but it felt like your decisions changed who she was as a character. You saw her develop. The way they're trying their hardest to push everything being about her, and the fact you now control her in the game, makes me worry she's going to be less interesting as a character. You don't mold her with your decisions anymore. You just make the decisions for her, just like you did Lee.
I thought it was rather dubious that they shy'd away from showing Kenny ACTUALLY die, and then proceeding to give you speculative options when you debrief with Christa.
Take a look here:
After Lee tells Christa "he wasnt a bad guy", the top left does that notice thing and says that "They will remember that."
In fact, why would they shy away from showing his death scene in BOTH INSTANCES that he "dies"? It's just too convenient.
All of this plus the trailer heavily hints that they're bringing Kenny back for some people. None of this is even tin-foil hat far fetched speculation. I mean, the set up just seems too convenient, especially given the fact that they did not really shy away from confirming any other character's fate adamantly.
Also, of course they're going to say he's dead at the stats page at the end of Season 1. They're just lying so it's not spoiled. lol..
With Lee, they already had his character written out to end as it did I'm more than willing to bet. So while it's true your decisions molded Clementine, while only making them for Lee, that's simply how it worked. Besides, in a sense, there's no molding to be done because ignoring his character's backstory, you were free to choose how he acted. You don't mold your own character, you change how others perceive him.
The issue here, I see, is going from shifting how Clementine views the world as her own character, to using Clementine as a vehicle for the player. It's a shift in perspective that will be the trickiest thing to handle for them, because unlike Lee you already see her personality developing throughout the games. She's her own character, variable as it might be, and now she's becoming the player.
The trick here will be to tie in the decisions from the first season, in order to affect any choices within the second. If she doesn't use a gun at all, and was never trained with one, perhaps some point in season two she'll have to make a choice involving a gun, and that inexperience can lead to a death or incident or what have you. Or, as another example, if she was to receive the sweater/shirt/whatever in season 1, she may be more willing to steal/take what is needed or the like.
I'm also betting that Telltale is hoping that players will treat this as a continuation, and not just a new game entirely. The way you acted in the first season should be carried over into the second, as Lee's attitude would tend to match her own.
Unlike most Bioware games, especially the Mass Effect trilogy, there isn't some arbitrary good/evil mechanic within the game. And also unlike the Mass Effect trilogy specifically, it doesn't punish you again and again for ever deciding to take the "Renegade" routes throughout the game.
It never said that he "died", it was something similar to "Kenny was lost to the horde". They used a word like "lost", maybe even that word itself, which could both mean "killed", and "hopelessly separated".
And TTG did confirm that Kenny would make an appearance in Season 2. I'm just hoping they didn't make him Houdini out of either of those situations, because thats the most uncanny thing to happen in Season 1 behind the existence of zombies.
That was my point. The fact that she was such a huge part of what made the first game great is going to be tried pretty hard when the player actually gets control of her. If there's some way for Telltale to have 'personalized' speech options for how Lee taught her, that'd be cool. But I doubt it'll even go that far.
The problem is, a lot of those choices you can't avoid. I don't believe there's any way to avoid training Clem to shoot, using your example. You can't avoid doing a lot of the big events in the game. And the ones that seem big carry no huge consequence. And for the Steal/Take option, I'm willing to bet that's going to have the same thing as season one. There's going to be an option, left to the player, to steal or not to steal. I doubt it'll be specifically molded to the player. But Telltale is skilled at making people think the game is, based on season 1.
That said, there are some options they could carry over and have it be interesting. Such as having anyone you spared in episode two of season one come back. But even for that kind of decision, I'm willing to bet they'll have another character doing the same thing if you just killed everyone.
You compared it to Mass Effect, and I think that's a fair comparison. But between the two, I think Walking Dead gives a very good illusion of choice without actual consequences. Mass effect, on the other hand, felt like your choices didn't matter quite as much, but actually had things change based on those decisions. But Mass Effect has had three games, and Walking Dead only one season. So we'll see if Telltale keep 'illusion of choice' or has actual consequences when season two comes out.

The Sun Oracle deal, which was supposed to take place long ago, is still not finalized because of the European Commission and its antitrust issues with the deal. The deal, which was initially valued at $7.4 billion is fast losing value and is proving to be a loss, for both the companies.
The European Commission is especially worried that the deal would discourage competition in the database industry, as both Sun Microsystems and Oracle currently own popular database product of their own, namely the MySQL and Oracle database. While the Oracle database is more popular for database servers and financial services in company networks, the MySQL database is extremely popular as a database for web-servers. They are vastly unrelated and cater to two different sections of database users.
In the midst of all this, Sun is cutting out on its services like Zembly, laying off employees(3000 of them planned for the next few days) and alike. Basically, it is doing everything it can to stay alive in the face of this disaster. Inspite of all this, investors and even customers are backing out of the company. This is pushing Sun Microsystems into even bigger losses.
All this fuss over a database which is Open Source! My question is, why is the European Commission so interested in a saving a database which is Open Source and can as well, survive with help from the much larger Open Source community? With Sun Microsystems going down so badly, will preventing the acquisition help MySQL in any way at all? What is the open-source community's response to this? Where are the MySQL developers and what is their take on this?

The future of celluloid acquisition in Film Schools
Nicholas Oughton 2013
A number of film schools around the world have ceased teaching celluloid (film) while others have reduced the emphasis on film in their programs. Among the numerous reasons are the high cost of film capture; the unavailability of processing laboratory and telecine facilities; the vast improvements in the quality of digital capture; the availability of cinematography-friendly digital cameras; substantial advances in the scope and subtlety of digital post-production; the cessation of film cameras manufacture; the decreasing availability of motion picture stocks; and the current popularity of 3D cinema.

On becoming an expert beginner
Collins used climbing again to explain one thing, i.e. the world is evolving and things have changed that most people who thought they have mastered what they have been doing do not often see changes. Although Collins has been a climber for 25 years he explained how challenging routes differed in today's sport and he had to learn freshly from a coach in order to grow as a better climber. This is the sort of mistakes being made by a lot of veteran Managers. Their reaction to problems is normally by answers already in their head instead of a clear mind led by smart questions. Collins believes that any creative or entrepreneurial endeavor requires the precision of a scientist and the wonder of a child. Collins also uses a story on Sam Walton of Wal-Mart to demonstrate the importance of life time learning and humility.

Don't do it... it was a nightmare trying to remove myself from the program.huh? just delete the profile
Don't do it... it was a nightmare trying to remove myself from the program.
It's just as simple as removing the profile and/or just restoring the phone to the current iOS version. Just keep a backup copy of your phone on the older version of iOS.
dear guinea pigs, are u guys ready?Way more ready than the chickens are.
Sounds like Apple is introducing this to Both devs and public too soon.
It's as if devs are employees of Appl but not compensated.
Don't do it... it was a nightmare trying to remove myself from the program.
If you don't know how to remove the Beta maybe you should pass on installing it. Its quite simple too remove from any iOS device bar the Apple Watch (which cant be downgraded)
Does anybody know if there are new wallpapers? Thats the only reason I would've installed the beta. I love stock wallpapers. Unfortunately iOS 9 introduced some pretty ugly (wayyyyy too much black in those planet wallpapers) wallpapers.Indeed, most iOS 9 wallpapers really are ugly.

irite crashes DW everytime
I have a site that I build using Supersuite...and also irite.
I have had no problems with the site until I went back in to make some changes.
I have 2 update pages...that as soon as I click on irite...it crashes DW.
It only crashes on the update pages.
In addition, if I have the "applications window open"....
The page will crash DW as soon as I open it!
When the "applications window is closed"...the page will load, but crashes as soon as I click on irite at all!
Note: I have it on 2 insert pages that use irite and there are no problems there.
Just on the UPDATE pages.
I do not plan on upgrading to your new html editor.
Are there a fix for irite?
I would think there should be.

Freelancers are a great way to acquire skills for a specific project and present a business with a very cost-effective option for resourcing projects.
But as the number of freelancers you engage increases, so does your need for a robust and flexible system for managing them.
In this guide:
A freelancer management system is a central platform that enables an organisation to search and share a directory of available freelancers. Reporting and management information should allow hiring managers to control costs. An FMS should also facilitate project hiring, management and invoice payment.
There are a number of reasons why a business would want to use a dedicated FMS to manage their freelance and contingent workforce.
Without a central FMS, it is possible for a freelancer to enter an organisation anywhere. Freelancers can be hired through official HR channels just as easily as being hired directly by a line manager with a credit card.
Having various routes into an organisation, and inconsistent methods of payment, it's possible for an organisation to quickly lose sight of its freelance spend.
An FMS creates a 'central point of truth' for freelancer engagement and therefore all spend and budgets. This is by far the most common reason an organisation chooses to implement an FMS.
With an FMS in place, better freelance resourcing decisions can be made because there is accurate management information available.
Having standard, consistent, onboarding processes is crucial for an organisation. Every new employee should receive necessary H&S training, agree to security and non-disclosure protocols, and any other compliance step that ensures both employee and the organisation are safe and secure.
Without an FMS, a freelancer could create a risk. Because it's very easy for a line manager to engage a freelancer directly, it's possible for a freelancer to slip through an organisation's onboarding process. This creates potential security or IP risks. For example, without a system to provide checks and balances, a freelancer can easily be added to an email distribution list and not removed once their project ends.
An FMS will provide a consistent, correct onboarding process for every freelancer engaged by an organisation. For example:
Whilst every business has a method for an invoice, working with a large number of freelancers creates a scenario where there could be a large number of new invoices with very different terms, amounts and potentially currencies.
The volume of invoices can create uneconomic workload for finance teams. Especially if each freelancer needs to be created in an invoicing system as a 'new supplier' and go through new supplier checks or compliance.
An FMS provides an organisation a much simpler way to process the payment of freelancer invoices.
Freelancer management systems, designed for larger organisations, typically come with the following features:
As a hiring manager in a large organisation that possibly engages thousands of freelancers, it is crucial to be able to search for a freelancer that meets your requirements.
Every organisation's onboarding process is slightly different. Your FMS should be able to provide an onboarding process that meets your requirements.
It is important to note that whilst an FMS should provide basic project management functionality, it is not a replacement for a dedicated project management tool like, for example, Jira.
However, to be able to provide meaningful freelancer ratings and accurate management information, an FMS should be able to 'hang everything' off a project.
Messaging and file-sharing once a freelancer has been hired is a given. But as a hiring manager in a large organisation, being able to message and exchange files with a freelancer before you hire them for a project is a time-efficient way to conduct preliminary interviewing or screening.
Being able to see how your peers rate a freelancer helps de-risk making your first hire.
Talent pools allow you to group and share similar freelancers. For example, you could create a talent pool for 'approved Java developers in London'. Being able to call upon a small cohort of pre-qualified freelancers for regular, repeat projects is a huge time-saver.
As mentioned, paying lots of new or one-off invoices can place an uneconomical burden on an organisation's finance team. An FMS can provide a simple, time-saving method of paying your freelancers.
Spend vs Budget financial reporting is probably the most sought-after. But an FMS can provide a variety of detailed management reports, including:
As a large organisation, it's very likely you'll be running other enterprise software for example, CRM or ERP software. An FMS should have the capability to integrate with 3rd party applications, for example to share spend or budget data.
There are a number of benefits of using an FMS instead of hacking something into a spreadsheet.
The first benefit is visibility. Visibility is much more than 'producing reports'. Visibility means no part of your freelancer engagement is unknown.
For example, you'll be able to see:
Improved visibility ultimately leads to improved decisions making. Being able to see patterns of spend and utilisation means a hiring manager will be able to make better decisions on how they resource their projects.
The problem with most DIY or 'improvised' spreadsheet efforts to manage a freelance workforce is the systems lack process controls. A spreadsheet is designed to organise text and numbers and to run formulas and functions. It is not designed to manage, on-board or communicate with a team of hundreds of freelancers.
An FMS, with controls and features, designed specifically for working with freelance teams enables you to implement and manage much tighter control over your freelancer processes.
Providing a software layer for organisations to manage freelancers, independent consultants and SoW engagements.
Discover the 5 essential, must-have, components to look for when shortlisting Freelancer Management System (FMS) vendors in your RFI process.
This guide looks at what the 'SOW' is and how smarter technology can help improve the management of this critical resourcing model.
Freelancers are not employees. They are not bound, or managed, by the same rules and it is common for hiring managers, line managers and operational teams to experience challenges as they start to engage a larger number of freelancers.

HARPER, April 22 (LINA) -Residents of Putuken in Maryland County are appealing to government to transform the century-old prison village as is the case with Belleh Yallah in Gbapolu County.
Putuken, which is located across the Huffman River, southwest of Harper, was in the past used by government as a Correction and Rehabilitation Center in Maryland County, but the prison facility became dysfunctional long before the Liberian civil war.
In an Interview with the Liberia News Agency Saturday, an elder of the town, Joseph Allison, said Putuken has a population of a thousand people, but lacks basic social services.
He disclosed that residents lack school, medical facility and safe drinking water, noting that they have to cross the river into Harper daily to seek their livelihood.
"Children from the town cross the river during the rainy season to go to primary school in Harper," he added.
