After the Easter Egg Hunt
A dozen creative ways to enjoy hard-boiled eggs
Sean Locke/Stocksy
After your kids and grandkids are done with their Easter egg hunts, what do you do with a refrigerator full of hard-boiled eggs? We have the answer.
Start by peeling the eggs, then …
1. Slice them and use instead of poached eggs in eggs Benedict.
2. Chop them and mix into fried rice, a stir-fry or sautéed greens for extra protein.
3. Drop them whole into a sterilized glass jar, cover with leftover pickle juice and seal to make pickled eggs; chill and enjoy for up to two weeks.
4. Make a Salade Niçoise. Cut each egg in half; plate with boiled new potatoes, steamed green beans, olives, sliced tomato, torn lettuce, flaked tuna and Italian vinaigrette.
5. Grate them over any pasta dish. Or just grate the yolks — the new Parmesan!
6. Slice them and layer into almost any sandwich. They're especially tasty on burgers.
7. Grate them over any vegetable salad for yet another protein bump.
8. When making a vinaigrette, whisk in 1 finely chopped yolk to replace 1 tablespoon of the oil — less fat, more flavor, better thickening.
9. Chop them and scatter over sliced avocado on toast — so good!
10. Chop them and add to a hash of home-fried potatoes and sausage: breakfast for dinner.
11. Grate them over plain pizza. Trust us, it's delicious!
12. Make a Sauce Gribiche — mash 1 yolk with 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, then whisk in 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 teaspoon wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon capers, 2 minced small pickles (cornichons/gherkins), the minced egg whites, and salt and pepper; then drizzle over asparagus, potatoes, chicken or fish, just as you would with hollandaise sauce.
Bonus: If all you do is make egg salad, at least give it a little kick this year. For avocado egg salad, mash 2 hard-boiled eggs with 1 avocado, 2 tablespoons mayo, 2 teaspoons chopped green onion, 2 teaspoons lime juice, salt and pepper. Add some chopped jalapeño if you like it spicy.

Google Easter Eggs - Our Favourites
Posted: 22 July 2013
Google may seem like the big horrible overlord that rules the web (especially after reading our last two SEO blogs!), but behind all of the hard-faced SEO algorithms they do have a sense of humour!
They often indulge in seasonal Easter eggs and holiday-based doodles for their home page, but they also have a host of treats buried in their search engine which you can try out for yourself by simply typing in phrases.
Note: To get back to regular Google just search for something else in the google search bar.
If you type in 'tilt' or 'askew' into Google, the page does just that!
Great fun as a trick to play on an unsuspecting victim, they won't know what's hit them!
Do a Barrel Roll!
A similar trick is the 'Do a barrel roll' gag, which originates from the Star Fox 64 game for the Nintendo 64, in which the same voice clip was used for every character when they said 'do a barrel roll'. When typed into Google, the whole page flips!
Atari Breakout
Remember the original Atari breakout, launched in 1976? Even if you don't, you will probably have played one of its numerous clones at some point. If you haven't, type 'Atari Breakout' into Google Images and have a game! Great fun!
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
The instantly recognisable lyrics from Harry Nilsson's hit song 'One'. Quite a sad song, but leave it to the search giants at Google to put a smile on our face! Type in 'the loneliest number' into Google, and you are greeted with the correct answer!
If you type 'Anagram' into Google, it will give you just that!
Type 'recursion' into Google and it asks you if you meant 'recursion' and this keep recurring, and recurring, and recurring, and recurring….
If anyone reading this is a keen gamer then you may already be aware of the term 'Zerg Rush'. It originates from the popular RTS game 'Starcraft', in which you could mass produce offensive units very quickly, allowing you to overpower your opponent by sheer number. Often considered a dirty move, Google has a fun take on it. Typing 'Zerg Rush' into Google presents you with a little mini game where the Google 'O's attack your search results, eating them, and to kill them you must click them 3 times. It also gives you a counter with the total kills you have, and your APM (actions per minute) count. Great fun!
If you get beaten by Googles Zerg Rush, which you most likely will (eventually), they will form into 'GG' which, in the PC gaming world, means 'Good Game'. Good game indeed, Google.
Six degrees of Kevin Bacon – The 'Bacon Number'
The 'Bacon number' of a person is calculated by the number of degrees of separation an actor or celebrity has from Kevin Bacon. The original game was created in 1994, and the aim was to name an actor or actress, and link them to Kevin Bacon in less than 6 steps.
A lot of you may be more familiar with the concept through the recent EE advertisements about 'Kevin Bacon; Centre of the Universe':
In the summer of 2012, Google introduced a feature to calculate a person's 'Bacon number' by simply typing 'Bacon Number NAME', cracking stuff! All the possibilities of Googles vast wealth of information, and they made a Kevin Bacon calculator. I, for one, approve!
There are quite a few that we haven't mentioned, but they are for you to find out. This proves that

Jake Gyllenhaal discovers his double in this menacing, sepia-toned theatrical trailer for Enemy. The clip shows Gyllenhaal's bearded university-lecturer character confronting a look-alike in a stark hotel room. "The film is a haunting and provocative psychosexual thriller about duality and identity, where in the end only one man will survive," teases the synopsis. EARLIER: Denis Villeneuve's 'An Enemy' to Shoot in Toronto The thriller once again teams the actor with director Denis Villeneuve, whose Prisoners debuted to critical acclaim at Telluride Film Festival last August and went on to earn over $60 million at the domestic box office. Enemy (once titled An Enemy) made its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival last September. In a review, The Hollywood Reporter's critic Deborah Young wrote that the title may be divisive to moviegoers: "Overall it feels like an experimental outing whose disturbing artiness might find a home with cult and midnight audiences."

A tasty source of protein, avocados are plentiful and and inexpensive at this time of the year.
My family and I are not major meat eaters. Nevertheless we have just joined the Meatless Monday movement and we are asking our town and the local university to consider doing the same. At a time when some political figures pollute the air space with claims that global warming is a myth created by liberals, we feel that it is important to take to take action.Even though we take the size of our carbon footprint seriously and try to reduce it whenever we can, there is much more that we need to do. We need to more in order to green the community and the local university.
If studies done in New Zealand are correct, our Great Dane's carbon footprint is four times larger than that of a Toyota Land Cruiser. How large is ours? We read recently that every time we do a Google search we use up energy sufficient to brew three cups of tea. We are great Googlers and we shudder to think of the many ways in which we squander non-renewable resources.
Giving up meat once a week is an easy thing to do. At the tri-state area we have access to a great variety of inexpensive legumes, nuts and protein rich fruit such as avocados. We live in a rural area where farmers are glad to provide the goat and sheep's milk with we use to make cheese.
Folks in Tel Aviv, Ghent and Sao Paulo agree that going meatless on Monday is easy peasy. Won't you?
Folks in Tel Aviv, Ghent and Sao Paulo agree that going meatless on Monday is easy peasy. Won't you?
Here are some reasons why it is a good move,
Environmental Benefits
- REDUCE YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT. The United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization estimates the meat industry generates nearly one-fifth of the man-made greenhouse gas emissions that are accelerating climate change worldwide . . . far more than transportation.[3] And annual worldwide demand for meat continues to grow. Reining in meat consumption once a week can help slow this trend.
- MINIMIZE WATER USAGE. The water needs of livestock are tremendous, far above those of vegetables or grains. An estimated 1,800 to 2,500 gallons of water go into a single pound of beef.[4] Soy tofu produced in California requires 220 gallons of water per pound.[5]
- HELP REDUCE FOSSIL FUEL DEPENDENCE. On average, about 40 calories of fossil fuel energy go into every calorie of feed lot beef in the U.S.[6] Compare this to the 2.2 calories of fossil fuel energy needed to produce one calorie of plant-based protein.[7] Moderating meat consumption is a great way to cut fossil fuel demand.

Classic Kate Tassel Clutch Gold
From: $160.00
Carry this golden treasure and take your style to shimmering new heights.
Retail price $1,920.
Crafted in Italy from lustrous gold calfskin, featuring a shimmering diagonal grain and smooth texture.
The Classic Kate tassel clutch embodies Parisian elegance in clean, fold-over envelope design. This elegant evening option is accented with gold-tone hardware in the intertwined YSL monogram logo and swinging chain tassel.

A timeless clutch designed to be carried in the hand.
Chic chicks with strong style sense know that metallic pieces instantly elevate even the most formal outfit. And this gold Kate takes the game to another (few) level(s). Perfect for openings, awards and launches, followed by steamy sessions on the dancefloor, we love seeing Kate paired with playful party frocks and jaw-dropping jumpsuits.

Imagine my surprise when I returned a call to my divorce attorney and was immediately put on hold. No. . .that part wasn't surprising. In this season of incessant holiday sing-alongs, jingles and carols, one might anticipate a chirpy (albeit politically incorrect) Musak version of Angels We Have Heard on High while waiting to be patched through to the correct office, but I was stunned by this haunting pipe organ. A bit ominous, no?

Hi, my name's Veronica, and I'm the co-founder of CEO Solutions Pte Ltd, a full pledge digital marketing agency that specialize in SEO services.
Over the past 20 years, I served as a marketing professional in many multi-national companies, in both B2B and B2C industries, and have successfully designed and implemented innumerable and impactful marketing programs from the ground up.
Among all the marketing arena, I am most passionate about SEO marketing as it is indeed the most cost effective and powerful traffic generator to any business.
Regardless if you are a small or medium-sized business or a large enterprise company, you will need SEO services to make your site visible online and be seen by your potential customers when they are searching in Google or other search engines for your type of products/services.
Although SEO marketing is powerful, yet it can also cause damage to your site if you engaged someone who are incompetent or unethical. I have seen many business owners being taken advantage by unscrupulous SEO agencies that have taken their money without delivering the SEO results.
When these Singapore SEO agencies were being questioned about the lack of result, they will reply with a lame excuse that SEO is highly sophisticated & complex thus require a LONG time before you can see any page 1 result.
Some unethical SEO companies also use black-hat SEO tactics, or purchase a bunch of spammy backlinks that are in violation of Google's guidelines, thus causing their clients' websites to be penalized by Google and removed from Google's index.
That's why I caution business owners to make their choice of SEO agency selection carefully and not to base their decision mainly due to pricing.
As the saying goes, "If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys" - this very much apply in the SEO marketplace. Every good quality product/service will come with a price.
Low quality work and incorrect SEO tactic could cause more damage to you, although it may be cheaper.
It is my personal ambition and goal to apply my rich SEO knowledge and proven SEO strategies to help as many business owners to move their sites onto page 1 of Google FAST and SAFE.
So far, I am pleased to see all our clients sites moving to page 1 of Google within a couple of months after engaging our SEO services.
They are enjoying unlimited FREE organic traffic from Google, increasing their sales without spending a single dollar on expensive ads.
Why Search Engine Optimisation Is Crucial
Your Competitive Edge To Thrive
Be Found By Your Customers
Boost Your Brand Visibility
Increase Targeted Sales Leads
SEO stands for search engine optimization. Site optimisation includes both the on-page factors like site content, meta-tags as well as the off-page factors like a site's backlinks, social media signals, business listings, citations and the overall domain authority and trust of your site.
To put simply, search engine optimization is the process of providing search engines like Google, Bing and Yahoo the information they needed to know about your website so they can list your website for the most relevant search terms in their organic search results.
Your site may have the best web-designed, but it will not benefit your business if your potential customers cannot see your site when they are doing a Google search.
Not being visible in Google's search is costing your company money, you're essentially handing your competition money.
Why Engage The Best SEO Company In Singapore
Perhaps you may have researched and studied about how to optimize your website and have some basic understanding of on-page SEO from the available search engine online blogs and forums.
However, the success of your business should not be based on trial and error. If you do not know the right strings to pull, you may end up hurting and harming your website rather than improving its ranking in search engine.
For instance, link building can help establish your site's authority but having unnatural links or poor quality backlinks could have your entire site being penalized and removed from Google's index.
Using incorrect SEO techniques can damage your site and your reputation so it is important to work with an SEO agency like us that is competent and keep abreast with the latest search engine algorithm and have proven credibility and great track records.

Subscribe To Robert Downey Jr. Takes Fans Down The Red Carpet As The Judge Opens Toronto Updates
I've already subscribed
The Opening Night slot at the Toronto International Film Festival carries certain weight. It guarantees that the eyes skimming a very crowded field fall squarely on you and your movie, at least for a few hours. Some movies rise to the occasion (like Rian Johnson's Looper, for example). Others wilt in the spotlight (like last year's The Fifth Estate).
Judging by reactions, David Dobkin's The Judge falls right in the middle. It generated both praise and mild scorn, but justified its presence with mega-wattage star power provided by the movie's leads, Robert Downey Jr. and Robert Duvall. The former showed off his social media skills by taking fans through his red-carpet prep, via Twitter.
He dropped one photo before the red carpet outside of Toronto's Roy Thomson Hall.
And then onto the carpet, where he had to do countless interviews:
And, finally, he took us into the post Judge party. The life of a rock-star movie actor.
The Judge kicked off this year's Toronto International Film Festival, and opens in theaters on October 10.

Avoiding Relegation
Just because the Cubs took three of four from the Fish doesn't mean they are somehow "back on track."
It just means Miami would be in line for the demotion to AAA this week if the majors had such a thing. It's nothing to be proud of.
Has Kevin Gregg "stabilized" the bullpen? My god, no.
Is Anthony Rizzo "emerging?" Sure - he'll be hitting .281 in no time!
Did the Cubs answer a "wake-up call?" Please.
Are the Cubs happy to have Darwin Barney back? Yes, but enjoy him while you can.
Don't forget: You're not supposed to even care for a few more years.
Week in Review: The Cubs lost two of three to the Reds before taking three of four from the Fish to go 5-4 for the week. Enjoy it now because it might not happen again until 2016.
Week in Preview: The Padres come in for four and the Reds come in for three. Yippee.
The Second Basemen Report: Darwin Barney is back and flashing more leather than Freddie Mercury at the Manhole.
The Not-So-Hot Corner Cody Ransom got three starts to Luis Valbuena's four - Valbuena also got a start at second - and went 3-for-9 with an RBI and a walk. If the Cubs were smart, they would trade Ransom now while his value is at the highest it will ever be for the rest of his career.
Prospect Joshua Warren Vitters is still "on track" to open his season at Des Moines any month now.
The Guns of Navarro: Dioner hit his third home run in 30 ABs this week - his first hit as a starter.
Dale Fail: Daytona manager Dave Keller benched star prospect Jorge Soler for not hustling this week, while Sveum kept writing Soriano and Castro into the lineup.
Deserted Cubs: Tony Campana stole second, third and home for Reno this week. He is missed.
Ameritrade Stock Pick of the Week: Shares of Fish may have slumped this week but history tells us they are still a better long-term investment than Cubs.
Sveum's Shadow: 6 p.m. Dale Sveum's Shadow returns to Chicago in the 7:30 p.m. position, a 30-minute gain from its darkest days. Dale Sveum's Shadow is easy to fool.
Shark Tank: Jeff Samardzija is 1-4 with a 3.03 ERA and learning what it means to be a Cub.
Jumbotron Preview: Six thousand square feet of 15-year veteran Alfonso Soriano neglecting to throw to the cutoff man - again.
Kubs Kalender: Wait 'til
next year 2016.
Over/Under: Games until Sveum admits Kevin Gregg is his closer: 1.5, depending on when Kyuji Fujikawa returns.
Beachwood Sabermetrics: A complex algorithm performed by The Cub Factor staff using all historical data made available by Major League Baseball has determined that the Marlins have replaced the Astros as the only team the Cubs can beat.
The Cub Factor: Unlike Alfonso Soriano, you can catch 'em all!
The White Sox Report: Know the enemy.

Justin Michael feat. AJ from Saint Motel - Eyes Closed
Rocktronica is taking a great leap forward in the game of EDM. After the Top 20 position in the Beatport prog-house chart, the eclectic affair of producer Justin Michael and singer AJ Jackson brings in another pack of remix madness. This is 'Eyes Closed', with new interpretations.
The hauling guitars and smooth house beats made up for a contagious, balanced tune that instantly worked. 'Eyes Closed' is now on for round 2, doing another global tour with three new remixes.
Mexican music junkie Digital Freq stirs up the acids, kicking in with a loud and outrageous electro-house interpretation. Disfunktion shows to understand the meaning of big-room, with hi tops and deep bass. Last but not least, German producer Jerome Isma-Ae touches the deep, progressive side of 'Eyes Closed', in a warm and driving remix.

7 Simple Tricks to Make Time for Self-Care
We all know that Self-Care is good for the body, mind, and spirit, but how much of a priority are you making it in your life?
When I ask my clients to write out a list of their top five priorities (Work, kids, their marriage, their pets, volunteering, etc.), many times they look down at their paper and see that they forgot to add themselves to their own list.
When they do manage to squeeze self-care on to their list, the next hurdle they tell me is "time."
I don't have time to exercise.
I don't have time to prepare healthy meals.
I don't have time to meditate/write in my journal/quiet my mind.
We all have the same 24 hours.
We all get to choose how we want to spend it.
For many us, we choose work as our number one priority because the income we make ensures a roof over our heads and food on the table. This is totally understandable.
But what about the rest of your day?
When clients tell me they don't have time for themselves, I invite them to keep a Time Journal. Much like how a Food Journal increases awareness in what you're really putting in your mouth every day, a Time Journal is also an awareness tool to see where you are really spending your time.
Many Time Journals tend to include a lot of "screen time" in the form of social media and TV (your phone and tablet count, too!).
One client of mine kept a Time Journal for a week and saw that she was spending three hours a day on the computer between Facebook and browsing online shopping sites. This was a big eye-opener for her. She remedied this by removing Facebook as the home screen on her computer. By not going on Facebook first thing in the morning, she was astounded to see that she got everything done by 8:00 am, which in the past would have taken her until 11:00 am. By making this one change, she now had three hours to use on herself.
Here are six other Time-creating Tricks you can experiment with:
1. Instead of getting sucked in when scrolling through social media, save the videos you want to watch or the blog posts you want to read in a folder to view/read after you've taken care of yourself first.
2. Record your favorite TV shows and watch them later when you can fast-forward through the commercials.
3. When waiting for your kids while they are at sports practice, walk the track yourself or march up and down the bleachers rather than just sitting.
4. Listen to your favorite podcasts while exercising, commuting, or cooking.
5. Practice saying NO to volunteer requests unless they don't impact your self-care routine.
6. Wake up even just fifteen minutes earlier so that you can quiet your mind with meditation, a deep breathing practice, or simply setting your intentions for the day.
When it comes to Self-Care, you don't find the time—you make the time.
Because you are worth your own time.
Because you are worth caring for.
If you think about it, if you don't take care of yourself and your body, who will?

Thank you for participating in our GladSoles minimalist sandals giveaway and congrats to the winner. Today we launch our Double T-Shirt giveaway. Win a t-shirt for yourself and give one to a friend. Use the widget below to enter the giveaway. The contest runs for about a week and you can place new entries daily.
*U.S. residents only.
It shouldn't be a surprise to you that I now like what could be called "minimal" shoes as you've seen me running a bunch in SKORA since I first got my hands on them last spring. Before transitioning to zero drop, or minimalist shoes like a lot of people want to call them, I had never thought that it would happen. At least not in the near future.. All I heard was that I needed a cushy shoe for my medium-high arches, and as a fairly new runner I believed it was the truth and nothing but the truth. Of course, we are all different and I'm sure the "traditional" cushiony shoes are perfect for some runners. However while I was transitioning to zero drop and less shoe I came to realize that this was great – I had found "my way" through the running shoe jungle. Zero drop and "less shoe" – more strength – better form (or a reason to work on my form). Since making SKORA my beloved go-to shoes I have been curious about trying out even LESS of a shoe – I have been looking at sandals, both for running and everyday wear (after all I live in Hawaii and I don't have a sandal tan?! Just kidding, maybe.). So when GladSoles contacted me asking me if I wanted to try and review their custom made sandals I jumped on it!
After having a chat with GladSoles I got my feet traced. This is done to get a pair of custom made sandals – made for just YOU and your feet when you put in your order. After tracing your feet you can scan and email your foot tracings to GladSoles, or simply send it with snail mail. Once GladSoles received my tracings things were moving fast, within a day or two my custom made sandals were on their way from the far East to the Big Island of Hawaii.
To be honest I could barely wait to get these sandals and try them on. So when they did arrive just a few days later, I hurried up getting the lacing guide videos up on the computer and I got going.. I had a lot of fun trying different colors of laces and different tying techniques and probably bugged my post-work tired husband to the maximum by constantly saying something in the lines of "Look baby, they even look great on my ugly feet?!", "What color of laces should I use first?" or "Which tying method do you like better?".
The great thing with this kind of sandal is that you can tie them on in so many different ways and therefore find one or more tying methods that fit your feet perfectly and will make for great fit and feel when your running, walking, doing yoga or whatever you choose to do in the sandals. GladSoles offer a tutorial video for the standard GladSoles tying method. This was really helpful for me when tying them on the first time, and.. This method is great! I used this for my first few runs, the sandals stayed put on my feet perfectly while running and a big pro is that you don't have to re-lace the sandals every time you put them on – you just slip them on/off, which of course is very convenient!
Since I've been using the sandals more I've found other ways to tie the sandals on that also works great for me – same basics but different placement of the laces. I found that experimenting with the tying methods and watching YouTube/Vimeo videos for tutorials and ideas was very interesting and fun. For everyday wear I really like the traditional Huarache tying method. I have been using a variation of GladSoles tying method and the latest one I tried and also liked a lot is a variation of Barefoot Bonez method. Why am I using the word variation so much? Yes, because our feet are all different and different tying methods and placements of the laces will be good for different people.
So after experimenting and doing some tweaking with the tying methods a bit I got going running in the sandals. I received the GladSoles Trail model with 8mm sole and a bit of thread on the sole (see photo above) and these sandals are just amazing for running. I have been running on both roads and on trails and both have been wonderful experiences – there is something very special with being barefoot in nature, feeling the air against your feet as you move forward. I am somewhat a clumsy girl and was worried I would trip, both running on roads and trails, but I haven't even been close to tripping?! This obviously has to do with how well the sandals stays on my feet, they really stay put and move with my feet. I especially enjoy trail running in the GladSoles, the ground feel is truly AMAZING and makes for smooth and secure running while the sole is still offering great protection against hard rocks, uneven surface etc. I love the way my feet are allowed to splay and it is obvious that my feet due to this have the ability to fully adjust to the ground beneath me! Running in the sandals have been wonderful and I will keep enjoying it. A lot.
Another thing I really like about GladSoles is that they as a company put in effort on being sustainable and cruelty free. The sandals are completely vegan (no leather or animal based glues) and nobody, nor animals or people, were harmed in the making of the sandals – I love that.
What I also have been happy about with these sandals is that they work just as well for everyday wear as for running. I live in Hawaii and haven't had a pair of sandals that treated my feet well for… A long long time. Therefore I have used them when going to the beach or to town running errands etc. Every time I am around people I tend to get compliments on my nice looking sandals – who doesn't love that?! For runners who aren't quite ready to try running in sandals, I would say definitely think about using GladSoles for everyday wear – by being close to the ground and zero drop they will help you naturally work up strength and mobility in your feet which will help you with your running. Plus, they stay put on your feet which will save your from the "toe pinching" technique many of us use to keep sandals like flip-flops in place while walking.
Do yourself a favor and make your feet happy with GladSoles! Head on over to GladSoles.com, choose your sandals, color of laces and use the code "EvRuns" for 15% off! I highly recommend these sandals for running, both road and trails, and for a pair of great looking and comfortable sandals for everyday wear.

Kristen Stewart Will Kick Butt As Snow White, 'Twilight' Director Predicts!
Catherine Hardwicke says super-fit and fighting-trim Kristen is the perfect choice for 'Snow White and the Huntsman' — 'she's a kick-ass' chick who is perfect for the role! Who would know better?
Kristen Stewart , 20, is in final talks to take the starring role in Snow White and the Huntsman and her Twilight director thinks it's just the right role for the young star who is now shooting Breaking Dawn.
"I love it," Catherine Hardwicke told Pop Sugar at the premiere of her latest movie, Red Riding Hood, which stars Amanda Seyfreid.
Catherine says Kristen "going to be a bad ass, learning how to hunt. That is perfect for Kristen! She's an athelete. She's a kick-ass chick. She's going to do good in that."
Physically, Kristen's got the look in every way, Catherine gushes: "And she's got that white skin, so she's perfect."
If all goes according to the producers' plan, Kristen would join Charlize Theron and Viggo Mortensen in the Snow White cast. Filming is to begin in August.
We can't wait!

A medical school personal statement is an important component of a medical school application, providing information about the candidate designed to illustrate why the candidate would be a good fit for a given program. The goal of the statement should be to make the candidate stand out from a pool of other applicants, and to intrigue the admissions committee enough for them to request an interview. Strategies for medical school personal statements should revolve around keeping the statement clear, concise, engaging, and interesting.
Other parts of a medical school application provide information about academic history, test scores, participation in research, and other matters of relevance to the admissions committee. The medical school personal statement offers the applicant an opportunity to provide personal information, humanizing the application and creating a image to go along with the numbers and grades. It can be a good place to bring up interesting elements of the applicant's personal history, and the reasons why the candidate wants to go to medical school.
It can help to start a medical school personal statement by jotting down some ideas. Applicants may want to think about why they are applying to medical schools and what they want to do with their degrees, as this could furnish some material for the personal statement. Someone who wants to work in developing countries, for example, should definitely mention this on the application. If an important personal experience made the applicant want to pursue medicine, this would also be important information to add.
Applicants should also think about what sets them apart from other people when they prepare a medical school personal statement. They may have unique life experiences, like growing up on a commune, having attended school in a foreign country, and so forth that might be interesting to an admissions committee, and would increase the diversity of the entering class. Students should also think about the programs they are applying into, and consider whether they have personal experiences that fit in with a school's mission. A school interested in technological innovation in medicine, for example, will be interested in an applicant who has participated in research involving medical technology.
A medical school personal statement should avoid slangy language and an overly informal tone, but allowing some regional expressions and personality to show through is advised. Candidates should also avoid commonly used lines like "I have always wanted to be a doctor because..." and "I knew I wanted to become a doctor when..." to make their applications stand out. Unless the application specifically indicates that people should write their personal statements completely independently, it is also advisable to ask a friend to look the statement over for obvious spelling and grammar errors, as well as readability.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Have you been injured in a Fire or Explosion Accident on a Construction Site? Choose an Experience Personal Injury Lawyer. Choose Parker Scheer LLP.
Construction workers face many hazards while working at a construction site. On of these is the risk of a fire and/or explosion while on the job. Chemical fires, explosions resulting from natural gas storage, and dust explosions can occur when workers and property owners don't follow the safety regulations, which have been set by Occupational Safety and Health Administrations (OSHA).
One of these, dust explosions, became a serious focus of OSHA after a series of deadly fires happened across the United States. One of these occurred in a foundry in Massachusetts in 1999. In order for a dust explosion to occur, the following five ingredients are required:
- Combustible particulates sufficiently small to burn rapidly when ignited;
- A suspended cloud of these combustible particulates at a concentration above the Minimum Explosible Concentration (MEC);
- Confinement of the dust cloud by either an enclosure or a partial enclosure;
- Oxygen concentration greater than the Limiting Oxygen Concentration (LOC) for the suspended dust cloud; and
- Delayed ignition source of adequate energy or temperature to ignite the suspended cloud.
According to a Safety Bulletin that was issued by OSHA, the casual factors of the dust explosion in the foundry in Massachusetts in 1999 included: (1) the inadequacies in the housekeeping to control the dust accumulations; (2) inadequacies in the design of the ventilation system; (3) inadequacies in the maintenance of ovens; and (4) inadequacies of the equipment's safety devices. The fire that occurred in Massachusetts was a great tragedy, one that caused the deaths of three people and injuries to nine others.
Even if the fire and explosion does not cause any fatalities in itself, it can still result in serious personal injuries to the construction worker and the construction worker's family. The construction worker may require life long medical care for the injuries, which may include burns, broken bones, head injuries, paralysis and death. Getting the medical care, physical therapy and/or rehabilitation that these types of injuries often require can be costly. In addition, these injuries can leave the construction worker unable to return to his or her previous line of work, and, in severe cases, unable to return to any kind of work at all. This can have a devastating effect on the worker and their family.
Injured in a Fire or Explosion Accident on a Construction Site in Massachusetts? Speak with a Construction Site Accident Lawyer to find out if you have a case.
Whether you or someone you know has suffered a serious injury or was killed as the result of a fire or explosion accident in Boston, Massachusetts, the personal injury attorneys at Parker Scheer are here to provide you with experienced representation.

From what I understand about Orgonite, the metal in the mixture is meant to "accumulate" the Orgone Radiation (OR), and it will do so by attracting both the Deadly Orgone Radiation (DOR) and the Positive Orgone Radiation (POR) varieties. It is the crystal(s) job within this mixture to transmute any DOR that it does accumulates into POR. Wilhelm Reich's original work was all about the organic (resin) to inorganic (metal) combination of attracting, and sometimes projecting, OR, but since he didn't discover the benefits of crystals within his accumulators, he would place them in regions that were high in POR and far away from DOR.
So theoretically, if a crystal(s) is placed within a resin mixture without many metal shavings, it will have the capacity to transmute DOR into POR, the mixture just wouldn't have a strong capacity for accumulating a high flow of DOR to transmute it into POR. The metals/resin mixture pulls and attracts the OR of what is around it, DOR and POR, which is why orgonite Tower Buster's are thrown near DOR sources, to accumulate and then transmute the toxic energy into POR.
I read a post from an online orgonite vendor, and he had purchased over 50 pieces of other vendor's orgonite the past 10 years, and he said that 50% that he tested with an "Ion Air Tester" did absolutely nothing to the environment. Of the remaining devices he tested, 50% of those registered low to average in their ability to accumulate and transmute DOR into POR. He attributed this statistic to the lack of metal in relation to the amount of resin in the pieces he tested, as it should be a 50/50 ratio between the two.
In my first two batches of Tower Busters, I used stainless steel pot scrubbers, and although my muffin molds were filled to the top with metal, it wasn't very dense, and there was a lot of wasted space. Even though it looked full, it was at probably only around 30/70, metal to resin; it wasn't nearly as dense metallically compared to some of the other devices I've viewed. I still believe that my batches will test out as statistically average when my Ion Air Tester arrives, but I know that in future batches, I'd like to include a higher density of metal shavings in them.
I know that my first batch is still effective since I placed them near some sick trees with droopy leaves, and after four days, the leaves are perking back up. I will be doing some posts with documented video evidence in the coming weeks, on how to use orgonite with your gardens and yards.

The Balinese have what is known as Nyepi. This is considered a "day of silence for Bali". This is an annual event and it's date is referenced according to the Balinese calendar. For 2012 the day of silence in Bali was during the month of March.
The silence period usually lasts for 24 hours and finishes the following morning. Generally the day of silence is considered a Hindu holiday for the Balinese however, the tourists and all other non Hindu's in Bali also respect this day. Normally on the day of silence it's a day for peace and for people to take time to think about life itself as a whole and also their own individual lives and well being.
During the day of silence in Bali, everything comes to a complete halt. The airport stops running, all businesses close and nobody is on the streets visiting tourists attractions.
For some it can be quite limiting on this particular day, however as it is a deeply cultural part of Bali, all those who are in Bali on this day do respect the Balinese culture and follow their traditions.
I have known people in the past who have planned their holiday in Bali and the day of silence has landed on a day during this time. It can cause somewhat of an inconvenience to people if they aren't prepared for it beforehand. So it's a good idea to know when the dates are as I have highlighted below and also understand about why it happens in Bali.
All tourists are generally restricted to their hotels. Airports may only allow planes to travel in the event of emergencies on the day of silence.
It can even seem as though it's a ghost-town in Bali on the day of silence. The only people you are likely to see around the streets anywhere on this day are the security guards known as Pecalang. Their duty is to ensure all the peace keeping restrictions are maintained for this particular day.
The security guards are on patrol to make sure nobody is on the streets, beaches and any other common attractions. The common limitations on the day of silence include, nobody works on this day, nobody embarks on any form of entertainment, this can also include in privacy with a partner, travelling is not allowed, no fires, noise from homes and hotels are kept to a minimum such as televisions and radios. Lights are kept dull in homes and hotels.
For some of the deeply religious they also do not eat or talk during the entire day. The proceeding day after the day of silence is celebrated and considered a New Years day. Business operations are generally back to normal and tourists are out and about throughout Bali.
Important note: Keep track of these dates before preparing for your Bali holiday. If you're in Bali during the day of silence, it can interrupt your holiday plans significantly due to the restrictions in Bali on these dates!

Orphan Movie Review
Evil children are creepy. Why? Because they look all cute and cuddly, but then those innocent, buggy eyes turn cold, the curl of the lips reveal something sinister and they are able to do just about anything they want while parents attempt to overlook the fact that their kid is a sociopathic killer. These are the reasons why "bad seed" movies continue to be made, because they are just so much fun to watch.
Orphan, starring Vera Farmiga (Up in the Air) and Peter Sarsgaard (An Education), is a creepy little thriller that has been faulted for its absurd twist ending. The movie is about a husband and wife who, despite already having two children (including Jimmy Bennett, who played the young James T. Kirk in Star Trek), decide to adopt a 9-year old girl named Esther. Esther, from Russia, appears to be extremely innocent and polite, but it soon becomes apparent that she is a sociopath who will stop at nothing to get her way - even if it means murder.
Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, the man behind the surprisingly decent (though not great) House of Wax remake, Orphan has a very cold and subdued look that works in the movie's favor. Collet-Serra's style makes everything in the movie look bleak and forlorn, isolating the characters despite their modern setting. When Esther begins her rampage, Collet-Serra doesn't hold back, presenting some R-rated goodness in the form of blood, gore, sex and murder.
Gone are the days when evil children movies are truly shocking, so you have to take them for what they are: a fun, what-if hour-and-a-half of fun. Orphan is no more or less special than a dozen movies like it over the last decade, though the cast and crew do their best to elevate the material. All around, the movie is fun to watch, if not relatively predictable.
A lot has been made about the twist ending, and had I not known that there was an "absurd" twist at the end I may have had a different reaction, but what ends up happening is pretty entertaining. Farfetched? Yes. Completely impossible? No. Messed up and creepy? Certainly. Fun to watch? Absolutely.
The twist ending works well enough for the movie at hand, but Orphan also benefits from a pretty good screenplay, strong acting (young Isabelle Fuhrman gives it her all) and the willingness to push the limits. Not every character I expected to live makes it, for instance.

Get your listings ready
We recently sat down with listing and branding experts Frooition to look at some of the best ways you can optimise your listings, make sure you check out that article here. In addtion to that advice, making sure you have your listing set up in the 'Black Friday Deals' area of the marketplaces is a crucial way to driving traffic and increasing your sales.
Also, try offering bundles! This is a tip I picked up from Chris at Tamebay who thinks the biggest selling items this festive period will be bundles and hampers, because who doesn't love a hamper at Christmas right?
Automation is your friend
For many companies, the festive period is the busiest time of year, companies deal with record number of enquiries, orders and dispatches with the same requirements for speed, efficiency and accuracy. This is where automated processes come in. Tools like shipping assignment and bulk label printing can benefit a company. For any Linnworks user, we highly recommend the rules engine and shipping mapping tools to help you speed up your order dispatching process.
For any businesses not using an order management solution at this time, we highly recommend signing up for one even if just for the Christmas period. At Linnworks, we offer a 30-day free trial that will take you through till after the busy period, we also offer a free Linnworks Express plan, ideally suited to a smaller businesses with under 200 SKUs, this plan is restricted to syncing every hour.
Maintaining stock levels is crucial
Understanding the assets your company currently holds is vital to the success of your business. But during the hectic and stressful time of the festive period, overselling is one headache you really cannot afford and is easily avoidable. By keeping track of your stock in an efficient and organised manner, you can substantially reduce the risk of out-of-stock listings and letting down customers this Christmas time.
Inventory managements systems can do this automatically for you. With features such as withdrawing out-of-stock listings and keeping stock levels up to date on your listings. Which can advertise how much of an item you have left to encourage customers to buy. These inventory management systems do require some set-up, so if you don't have time or resources to set this up, I recommend a basic spreadsheet that is only used for tracking stock. Meaning you can quickly and easily review your stock levels and re-order any low-level stock before you run out.
Picking the right shipping arrangements
Remember, with such an increase in volume, everything slows down. To counteract this, you need to ensure you are assigning the correct shipping method. Is there really a need to send everything on overnight delivery? Can you trust your usual shipping provider to deliver on time? Do you have a back-up if anything goes wrong?
Remember what happened to Yodel in 2014? They stopped doing pick-ups for a large part of the festive period. Do you have a back-up if your service provider suffers from exceeding capacity? An extreme example of this was when CityLink ceased trading last year; there were a lot of companies left without any delivery service at all and ended up having to overpay to ensure delivery on time and lost a large amount of profits because of this.
Black Friday is not the end; it's the beginning
As we've discussed, for many companies, Black Friday is the busiest day of the year and the main focus for many companies. But with the move away from focusing on one day of the period, Black Friday is no longer the only big selling day in the festive period. With the rise of companies offering deals in alternative ways, see Amazons Black Friday Deals week and Green & Cyber Mondays. To see how the eCommerce industry is moving away from focusing all their festive selling efforts and deals on one particular day.
Extra tip: Follow up after the surge
A great way to get more from the festive sales rush is to take advantage of the January sales by following up with the customers you have acquired before Christmas. Try offering related products to extend the profitability of each customer, excellent examples of this are in the media and electronic categories. Console games and Camera attachments are two examples of how this could be effectively achieved.

It's not often I crave junk food, but when I do, beware — I might just transform into a werewolf if I don't get my way.
There are many alternative meat and dairy products available to vegans these days but not all of them satisfy a craving for the real stuff to the desired degree. When I was at the Om Yoga Show in Kensington Olympia last October I was introduced to Vegusto, a new brand based in the UK. Their vegan cheese has without a shadow of a doubt the most authentic cheese flavour I have tasted so far.
I prepared this pizza for myself but also made a plain margharita pizza for an Italian friend who assured me it was delicious — approved by a true Italian, that's got to be worth something!
Disclaimer: I am not sponsored by Vegusto and only mention this product because I truly think it's the best on the market at the moment. I never use products I don't like.
This also happens to be a very lazy recipe. Because if I'm going to have junk food, I am not going to put much effort into the cooking. That doesn't mean it has to taste merely "OK", though. Kind of greedy, but what can I say, I want it all.
Prep time: 10 mins
Cooking time: 10-12 mins
Serves 1-2
1 packet of pizza flour
1/2 pack of Vegusto melty cheese, sliced
10 Vegusto paprika slices
3-5 tbsps tomato puree/sauce (either will work just fine)
a pinch of red pepper flakes
1 garlic clove, peeled and finely minced or crushed
Pre-heat the oven to 200ºC. Line an oven-proof tray with baking parchment.
Prepare the pizza flour according to package instructions. Roll the dough out to a flat circle.
Arrange the toppings on the pizza, starting with the tomato puree, then the cheese and "ham" (see pictures), finishing with the spices.
Cook in the oven for 10-12 minutes, checking regularly that the pizza doesn't burn.
Serve hot with some vegetables on the side if you're sharing.
What's your favourite vegan "junk food"?

… a wide range of holiday accommodation all over the island
Tenerife resorts and holiday accommodation are increasing in quantity and quality. This is to match the number of new visitors from Europe and elsewhere. They come to the island to be closer to nature and the beaches. The level of accommodation and services provided for visitors to the island is quite high in quality. This is especially true for luxury hotels and villas. Initially in the Canaries, the economy revolved around agriculture, livestock, fisheries and the processing of some traditional materials. Now the tourism sector has taken centre stage in the island's economy. Tourism is one of the most important sources of income for the Canaries in general, and Tenerife is no exception.
Tenerife Travel Secret
To find competitive prices, book your accommodation in Tenerife in advance. Definitely do this if your holidays coincide with the peak season (July, August and December). Bear in mind that, when visiting the islands, prices vary mainly according to the location and season.
Tenerife's Hotels and Resorts
Tenerife receives about four million tourists a year. The island has to provide top-notch accommodation options to meet guests' preferences, budgets and expectations. Many of Tenerife's hotels and apartments have swimming pools and beautiful tropical gardens. These can transport you to a lost paradise of unique landscapes... The service in most hotels is of such high quality that it makes for an unforgettable experience.
There are top-rate hotels (like deluxe or large resorts), multi-star hotels and smaller hotels with great service. The most inexpensive ones can be found in Los Cristianos. There are also some hotels with exclusive services for a lower budget, especially in Puerto de la Cruz. So, the choice of hotel in Tenerife caters for all. The variety of architectural styles is also impressive. For a Canarian style with beautiful interior courtyards, stay at the Hotel Spa Villalba in Villaflor. For colonialesque surroundings, opt for the Hotel Gran Tacande. If modern styles are more your cup of tea, try Baobab Suites.
In Tenerife the hotels sometimes offer breakfast included, half-board and full board. When you book through a travel agency, you can book travel packages with an "all-inclusive option". This is possible at the Barceló Santiago Hotel in Puerto Santiago, and it avoids extra costs. Normally, the food offered at these establishments is delicious, high quality and, in most cases, prepared with fresh, local ingredients. This is true at the restaurants near the Parque Santiago Apartments in Playa de las Américas.
Tenerife's Luxury Hotels and Villas
In Tenerife, the best luxury hotels, resorts and villas are mainly concentrated in the south (given the favourable weather conditions). It's no surprise to find amazing hotels and villas in Costa Adeje, like Royal Garden Villas or Vincci La Plantación, or luxury hotels in Playa de las Americas, like Villa Cortes. You'll also find marvellous hotels in quieter areas, like Hotel Sandos San Blas in San Miguel de Abona.
You can easily find a wide variety of excellent and luxurious hotels in the northern cities of Tenerife. Hotel Botánico in Puerto de la Cruz and others in Garachico or Buenavista del Norte are popular with tourists. It isn't hard to find tranquil hotels and holiday rentals that are full of character. Some examples are Hotel San Roque, La Quinta Roja and the luxurious Meliá Hacienda del Conde. In the central part of the island, you can find hostels in Santa Cruz de Tenerife that have a modern and cosmopolitan touch. Try the Hotel Iberostar Mencey or the Siliken Atlántida Santa Cruz.
Resorts are tailored for both relaxation and recreation during your stay. Many leisure, sport, entertainment and retail activities are often on offer. Check out the choice at Hotel Ritz-Carlton Abama or Palacio de Isora, both of which are in Guia de Isora.
Tenerife Travel Secret
You might be confused by the names of some resorts, like Los Cristianos, Playa de Las Americas, Costa Adeje, etc. These places on the southern coast have been developed over the past few decades. They cater to visitors' needs and provide them with all the services they want.
Last, but not least… Tenerife Timeshares accommodations can be found all over the island, but the majority lies on the southern coast. Enjoy mesmerizing views of the sparkling Atlantic from your private balcony, or simply relax in your multi-bedroom, upscale suite. Treat yourself in your resort's swimming pool, satisfy your appetite at an on-site restaurant, or indulge in nightly entertainment – there's always something to experience at a timeshare resort. Find an affordable unit through SellMyTimeshareNow.com, a website currently offering over 70 Tenerife timeshares for sale and rent at high-end resorts such as Palm Beach Tenerife, Hollywood Mirage and the Regency Country Club.
Final Comments from the Authors
We have no doubt that, with the help of Tenerife Travel Secrets, you'll be able to find the accommodation (seaside hotel, resort, apartment, etc.) that best suits your needs. Also, we have either visited or stayed in all of the accommodation that I have described (without exception) and will later add to this list. In this way, we can guarantee the quality through our experiences so that you enjoy your stay in a great location. Just because it has cheap prices doesn't mean it has to be low quality, so put your mind at ease and book the holiday of your dreams now.

As an educator and Ohio taxpayer, I was pleased to see the Dispatch's Feb. 1 "Short takes" on the recognition that several Ohio public universities received from Kiplinger's Personal Finance. Ohio State and Miami were identified as the 38th and 77th "best values" in public higher education across the nation.
As an educator and Ohio taxpayer, I was pleased to see the Dispatch�s Feb. 1 �Short takes� on the recognition that several Ohio public universities received from Kiplinger's Personal Finance. Ohio State and Miami were identified as the 38th and 77th �best values� in public higher education across the nation.
It's also noteworthy that two historic independent Ohio colleges bested OSU�s position in Kiplinger's listing of national liberal arts and sciences colleges � Kenyon (29) and Denison (33) � and that two more, Oberlin (41) and the College of Wooster (72), outscored Miami.
We have a great partnership between the 37 state-assisted and 85 privately funded nonprofit colleges in Ohio. To meet the educational and public-service needs of our state now and in the future, both sectors need to thrive.
As a new state administration considers higher-education policy, I hope it will not forget the role independent colleges play in meeting Ohio's educational needs, from research universities and residential liberal-arts colleges to those serving commuting and adult learners.
Efforts to keep public education affordable should be matched by initiatives to provide adequate need-based financial aid for students at all Ohio institutions if we want to open doors to the largest number of deserving students.
What's the impact of independent higher education on Ohio?
Without the state having to use public funds to construct a building or employ a single faculty member, independent institutions enroll nearly a quarter of the state's 600,000 college students and nearly one-third of all bachelor's degree-seeking undergraduates.
And while the four-year graduation rate at Ohio public institutions runs about 32 percent, the numbers at independent institutions are significantly higher.
In fact, at Denison, Kenyon, Oberlin and Wooster, the four-year graduation rate exceeds, on average, 82 percent.
Consider the numbers in the STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) fields. According to the most recent study, Ohio's independent colleges enrolled 35 percent of math majors, but produced 48 percent of the degrees; enrolled 24 percent of the students majoring in physical sciences like physics and chemistry, but turned out 43 percent of the graduates; and enrolled 30 percent of the biology majors, but graduated 41 percent of all who earned undergraduate degrees in this field.
Because independent institutions count on alumni for support, they are able to invest extraordinary amounts in their students, greatly reducing �sticker price� tuition for many with financial aid provided by the college itself.
Consequently, independent colleges enroll students from across the social spectrum and of all backgrounds.
In fact, the average family resources of students attending public and private colleges in Ohio are equal. And of students who graduate with debt, graduates of private institutions owe several thousand less after graduation, on average.
There are many �best values� in Ohio education � at OSU and Miami, and Kenyon, Denison, Oberlin and Wooster, and so many other colleges and universities.

1 year on, or, 'what I caught in my net'
A year ago today I came to see the house that is now my home.
Over the year, I've watched the light fade into a blue hum that signified a coming winter colder than I'd known in a long long time. Then I've watched it lengthen and creep into the various corners of the house and light up the details (and dust) that I hadn't noticed before.
Over time I've ventured out from this place in ever increasing loops, running up the dales, measuring the land with my stride and keeping time, not looking back until, up on the top the whole landscape rolls out and away, eventually dissolving into the bright streak of wide river.
I still go on 'fishing' trips with my camera. The haul is somewhat different from France. The light is often quieter here. The time is often a little more rushed. I have to look more carefully, more deliberately.
A year ago today it was raining and this house was someone else's house filled with 40 years worth of another family's memories, traditions and life.
A year on, the sun is brightly shining and I'm wondering, after never living anywhere for longer than 5 years, if this is the place that might hold on to me a little tighter, a little longer. Perhaps, perhaps...

I can't believe it's a year already. How time does indeed fly.ReplyDelete
You seem to have adjusted to your new surroundings, different than France, but still a place to call home.
Wow! I can't believe it has been a year since your big move, and so much in between too :)ReplyDelete
It certainly has flown. My goodness, I remember to posts of packing up! Meanwhile, 5 years, I'm wondering something similar. We are on our 5th year right now, and there have been murmerings...we have itchy feet and are both settled and unsettled.ReplyDelete
It seems like your current location offers up its own beauty. The thing that strikes me more about your change in countries is the change in pace...there seem to be more big goings on in your life now than the quiet pace of france? or no?
I've been wondering that too Andrea ! I look at my dwindelling posts and wonder how I had the time to post so regularly before :(ReplyDelete
Wow-how time flies Cari-Jane. I think blog posts are just great when they feel right to be done. Yours are always worth waiting for! We have itchy feet too-7 years here and our friends have just bought the most amazing warehouse in Somerset. Are we brave enough for one last big move like that??!! xxReplyDelete

Why did Monsanto Develop an Aluminum Resistance Gene?
Monsanto is currently marketing an aluminum resistance gene. Here's the spin, folks:
Small-scale, resource-poor farmers in developing countries face daily stresses, including poor soils, drought, and lack of inputs. Ongoing trends such as climate change and population growth will likely exacerbate binding stresses. A new generation of genetically engineered (GE) crop research aims to alleviate these pressures through the improvement of subsistence crops—such as cassava, sorghum, and millet—that incorporate traits such as tolerance to drought, water, and aluminum in soils as well as plants with more efficient nitrogen and phosphorus use. (http://www.ifpri.org/publication/delivering-genetically-engineered-crops-poor-farmers)
Now, let's take a look at journalist Michael Murphy's research into chemtrails, geo-engineering, and the fact that extremely high levels of aluminum and barium are found in water, snow and soil, in areas shown to have heavy chemtrail patterns (three-part video):

Can't find Group admin
Sorry for the newbie question but I read another post that suggested "select the group whilst logged in as admin. Go to admin in the group menu. Select 'Delete Group' then confirm. Job done!"… I cannot find anywhere on the dashboard where I can delete a group. I see no group menu therefore I cannot go to the admin to delete the group. I've looked and read what seems like forever on this. I'm using WP 3.0 so maybe he dashboard looks different? Thanks in advance for any help.

The new millennium heralded the start of the age of cities. For the first time in the history of mankind the majority of the world's population is now living in cities. Whereas in past centuries natural population growth primarily occurred in rural regions, today that growth is mainly registered in cities. In the mid-20th century, 30 per cent of the population lived in the world's urban centres. Today that share stands at more than 50 per cent, and is continuing to rise. By 2050 it is expected that 80 per cent of the world's population will live in cities. more - Background: the age of cities
Forward-looking urban development is key to reaching the global climate protection targets and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda. That is why it is an important field of German development policy activity. Urban development projects with a total volume of some 15 billion euros are currently being carried out in over 50 countries.
The aim of German development policy in the field of urban development is to make a lasting improvement to the lives of the urban poor and to enable citizens to participate in political and economic life. Negative ecological impacts of urban growth should be limited, the natural foundations of cities and their surrounding areas preserved and the potential offered by settlements – especially of cities – in terms of land development needs to be harnessed. more - Urban development: an important field of development policy activity

DID YOU KNOW? If you're anything like us, you love a good weekend farmers' market – and the first one (in the modern reincarnation we know and love) was held in Bath, in 1987.
DO SAY "Bath" (like 'hearth')
DON'T SAY "Bath" (the other way)
WHAT TO WEAR Make sure you bring your cossies if you fancy a dip in the thermal waters and your Bath rugby shirt if you're in town for a match.
BEST VANTAGE POINT The Royal Crescent from Royal Victoria Park. Consistently rated the best view in the city by locals and visitors alike, you'll struggle to get the perfect, people-free Instagram snap. It's great fun to pretend you're Jane Austen or the Duchess of Devonshire taking some air.
DIARY DATE Get your skates on for Bath on Ice, which is open 18 November 2016 to 3 January 2017 at Royal Victoria Park.
WHO YOU MIGHT SEE A regular visitor to Bath is Prince Harry. If our beloved ginger prince isn't to your taste, try hanging around outside the rugby stadium on match days, where you're likely to spot a premiership player, or 15.
WHERE TO STAY In Bath, accommodation doesn't come more iconic than the Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa. Think classical architecture, cobblestones underfoot and views over the rolling English countryside.
WHAT TO EAT & DRINK As far as traditional British drinking establishments go, the petite King William pub, not far from Larkhall, is a sterling example. The cuisine uses locally-sourced ingredients, and you can eat in the bustling downstairs bar or the upstairs dining rooms. Austen might not have been caught dead here, but you definitely should be.
Our store on Old Bond Street, once home to a cobbler, is right in the heart of Bath's shopping district. Jack Wills, 14 Old Bond Street, BA1 1BL

Published at Sunday, July 22nd, 2018 - 10:31:11 AM. Bedroom. By Conradine Berger.
People do everything they can to make their homes look their best. But many can't afford hiring an interior designer for that and try to manage the home design by themselves. And the first rule is to pick a predominant color for every room and to try to stick to it and buy all the furniture, the carpet and decorations in that particular color. If you do not do that and buy randomly colored things in your house, you will have a very colorful chaos that does not look so appealing.
There's also the middle way. In such a case the black bed can be complemented by contrasting furniture but can also be linked to another black feature such as an accent wall. Try to spread out the black elements throughout the room for a harmonious look.
