From its very first release, AmpKit has earned a place in the hearts of high-gain guitarists, with tons of great high-gain amps and effects, each accurately delivering the full high-gain experience of the real gear. When we designed the Peavey AmpKit LiNK guitar interface, we included circuitry to minimize crosstalk, which greatly reduced the problem of feedback on high-gain setups. So where other apps were forced to dumb-down their gain to avoid feedback, in AmpKit you've always been able to rock out with full-strength gain.
AmpKit 1.0 included an extensive array of high-gain amps, including models based on Marshall®, Mesa Boogie®, and Fender® amps. Better yet, our relationship with Peavey enabled us to offer official, highly-accurate versions of their high-gain screamers including the 6505+, 6534+, and 3120. AmpKit 1.0 also included six distortion pedals that cover the full spectrum of tone, from the Elevenizer (based on the Ibanez Tube Screamer) to The Haze (modeled on the Big Muff Pi).
We've built on this strong foundation in AmpKit 1.2, dramatically improving the high-gain picture with the addition of great new high-gain gear, upgrades to all of AmpKit's existing high-gain amps as well as the Noise Gate, and several other important improvements for the high-gain player. (Check out the two embedded videos for two examples of AmpKit 1.2 high-gain play.)
Gear for Gain
AmpKit 1.2 includes six new amps, whose gain levels range from sizable to extreme:
- Fargen Hot Mod™ Baby Blues: This amp actually models a Ben Fargen-modded Fender Blues Junior™. The hot mod results in a significant boost in gain, as you can hear in this AmpKit demo track that Ben created.
- Fargen Olde 800™: This great amp features a decade selector. Dial up 60s, 70s, or 80s and you get three very different tones reminiscent of popular amps from the selected decade, with the '80s setting providing the most gain.
- Budda Superdrive 30 Series II: In preparing this blog series, I checked out what people were saying in various forums about this Budda amp, and the consensus was "want!", first and foremost because of its ultra-smooth overdrive tone, and AmpKit's SD30 model faithfully reproduces this creamy overdrive.
- Fargen Super Collider™: This amp is a rare Fargen Custom Shop model; Ben had to actually borrow an amp from one of his customers so we could model it. The OD channel delivers sharp, stinging distortion.
- Sultan Rack 88: Now we're getting up into the "extreme gain" zone. The Rack 88 is modeled after the Soldano rack-mounted X88R preamp pushed through a Mesa Boogie® 20/20 power module, with a nicely matched 4×12 cabinet. Both the Rhythm and especially the Lead channel really crank; we love the unique treble-weighted feel of this amp.
- Uber Xtreme 101: The high-gain winner among the new crop of amps in 1.2, this beast models a Bogner Ecstacy 101B and will definitely blow your hair back.
These are great new high-gain amps — but don't forget, we completely rewrote all of the amp and cabinet simulations* for all of the "old" high-gain amps we already had in AmpKit. AmpKit now does two-stage amp simulation, modeling both the preamp and power amp, which provides the biggest tone improvement with high-gain amps. I've done A/B testing on all of the new models, and the improvements are dramatic. The lead channels on all of the Peaveys are just incredible now. I'll put AmpKit's free ValveKing up against anything out there (except perhaps other AmpKit amps!); the lead channel of the Peavey Classic 30 is really lovely now and is the favorite AmpKit model of guitarist Rob Math; and the 65xxs and 3120 are total gain monsters.
Let's not ignore pedals either. Both new Sonic Edge pedals bring gain to the party. The Tumbleweed is a dual-function pedal, combining boost with a snappy new compression circuit. The boost comes in Brit, Cali, and Jazz flavors, with the first two rocking significant distortion. The J&J Overdrive delivers a wide range of overdrive tone, all the way up to full-on tube crushing drive. Rocktron's two offerings push into the extreme gain zone. The Cottonmouth Fuzz is a modern fuzz design that is maximally configurable, with a total of eight controls, including level, a full 3-band EQ, and four unique distortion controls: Bite, Spit, Strike, and Venom. And last but definitely not least is the Zombie Rectified Distortion®: I agree with commenters on Twitter and Facebook that this is perhaps my favorite tone of any of the new gear; it's like a rectified-distortion amp, but with even greater tone control, in a pedal form factor.
Taming the Beast
One of the downsides of high-gain setups – real or virtual – is that you sometimes have "gain accidents." On stage with your Peavey 6534+, this might result in ear pain for you and a few thousand of your closest admirers. In AmpKit, what you get is a hit of screech feedback followed by a strong need to tear off your headphones. Either way, gain accidents are best avoided. In AmpKit 1.2, we started by totally revamping the Noise Gate pedal. The upgraded version is capable of blocking feedback with much higher gain setups, and eliminates most cases of bleed-through noise. This may sound like a small improvement, but it isn't: we can't emphasize enough how much nicer this gate makes working with high gain gear.
Even with the improved Noise Gate, gain accidents are still possible, especially when using high-crosstalk guitar interfaces. So we tackled the heart of the matter: the feedback event itself. AmpKit will now detect almost all loud screech feedback and automatically attempt to kill it, first by enabling another AmpKit feature, the Noise & Feedback Filter, and then by lowering output gain. The Noise & Feedback Filter, at its lowest setting, has almost no tone impact, but instantly kills screech feedback in a lot of cases; and ratcheting down output gain takes care of any remainder. So what might have been loud feedback in earlier AmpKit releases now becomes a short burst of feedback that immediately stops or becomes dramatically quieter. So you can now tackle monstrous high gain setups like Thirty Greenies (30 Elevenizer pedals in sequence!) without fear.
Freedom of Interface
With AmpKit, you have total freedom of choice on which guitar interface to use. AmpKit works with all headset interfaces. If you have a high-crosstalk, feedback-prone interface, you'll be thankful for the improved Noise Gate and Feedback Suppression features discussed above. If you have a low-crosstalk Peavey AmpKit LiNK, you'll be in great shape. All headset interfaces get the benefit of AmpKit 1.2′s Adaptive Input Compensation, which restores the frequencies lost when your guitar signal passes through the iOS device's voice-oriented headset circuitry.
Headset interfaces aren't the only game in town, however. AmpKit also supports dock-connected and USB guitar interfaces such as Sonoma GuitarJack, Apogee Jam and Alesis iO Dock. These interfaces have minimal crosstalk, which eliminates feedback except in the most extreme setups, making them a great choice for high-gain play. In AmpKit 1.2, we improved AmpKit's handling of dock/USB interfaces, ensuring that these interfaces are detected as soon as they are connected.
Anyway, to sum it all up: AmpKit 1.2′s combined lineup of new and rewritten high-gain amps and pedals, along with better ways to manage gain and ever-broadening support for guitar interfaces, is a fantastic jump ahead for high-gain guitarists.

I had an opportunity to meet with expert technologists at the world-renown Technion scientific and engineering institute as well as top physicists at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot — both working on leading advances in biotech and other disciplines that could change our lives. Turning a full 360 degrees, I also had the chance to explore the Old City of Jerusalem and its many historic sights, from the Western Wall to the City of David to the Dome of the Rock. This was made all the more memorable on a chilly, near-deserted evening in the Old City while Shabbat prayers were underway.
On a Saturday, when all public transit and everything else was closed, I walked to the well-secured, hilltop Knesset legislative center, following the elevated train tracks on the return so as not to lose my way back to the recently opened and spectacular Waldorf Astoria hotel where I was staying in Jerusalem, only steps away from the main Jaffa Gate entrance to the Old City.

S: Great depression
1: How did the great depression start? It started by bank loans were uninsured and people couldn't pay them back.
2: The great depression started in 1930 and ended that same year.
3: The great depression started in 1930 and ended that same year. It was very rough and there were shortages of food water clothing and shelter. Many families barely survived and unemployment rates were through the roof.
4: Everyone was affected by the great depression, not just the middle class and poor but even the rich were facing hardships.
5: The depression was ended by the start of WWII, it gave people the jobs they needed by building things in factories and sending the men off to fight.

Great forum! I have just joined as I've got a quick question for the Note 2 gurus in New Zealand . Hope you can help me!
I am in Singapore at the moment and travelling to New Zealand later this week. I would like to purchase a Galaxy Note 2 from a retailer here and bring it with me to New Zealand. When I was mentioning this to a friend of mine, I was told that I better check things as not all Android phones (or phones from other countries) work with New Zealand sim cards and/or networks.
Is there any truth to this rumour? I am purchasing the phone from a commercial electronics export house (and hence at a slightly lower price - but every dollar counts :) ) and I think this should be a Korean model (I have heard there are US models, Korean models etc etc)
Thank You very much in advance. I just don't want to make a costly purchase and find out I cannot use the phone straight out of the box in NZ.
Kind regards, GLG

While I'm out of the country and getting ready for the All-Asian Creation Conference in Malaysia next week, I am thinking of a very special day back in the United States: Veterans Day. We have many military veterans on our AiG staff, but this time I want to acknowledge two of them who are long-time volunteers of AiG and who served in World War II: Art Hunsicker and Dick Sauer.
Art served in the European theater of the war, and actually fought in the famous Battle of the Bulge during the very cold winter of 1944 and 1945 in the forests of Belgium. Art is now 90, and has been an AiG volunteer for about 14 years. Dick Sauer has been a volunteer for 16 years, and he served in the Pacific theater of World War II. Sadly, his brother died in the North African campaign of WWII.
By the way, Dick's wife Marlene is the longest-serving volunteer at the AiG ministry, and we acknowledged that effort yesterday during our staff chapel as we also celebrated her eightieth birthday. She started volunteering here during year one (1994). I recorded a video greetings for Marlene before I flew away.
Here is a photo of Marlene with some of the flowers given to her yesterday.
Thank you Marlene! And a thank you to Dick and Art for your service to America!
Bethlehem Village and Dazzling Christmas Light Display—Coming to the Creation MuseumBelow is the press release we have just sent out nationwide about the Creation Museum's annual Christmas program—it will be more spectacular than ever:
Now going into its fourth Christmas season, the Creation Museum is preparing once again for its popular annual free holiday celebration "Christmas Town," which includes a live nativity, dramatic presentations, a re-creation of first-century Bethlehem and a breathtaking "Garden of Lights" (featuring more than 60,000 Christmas lights). Gaining in popularity throughout the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky region, last year's event saw crowds of 22,000 over eight days, up from 17,000 in 2009. Most of the events are free.Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
Some attendees ask what the Creation Museum has to do with Christmas, but those who have visited realize that the museum – while presenting scientific exhibits regarding the Bible's Book of Genesis – culminates with Jesus' life, death and resurrection.
"The entire account from creation through Christ's life and death on the Cross must be told to share the true history – His Story – of God's plan of salvation," said museum and Answers in Genesis president and founder Ken Ham. "This is what the museum is all about – we are not just a museum about creation, but we want to help people understand the real truth of the nativity and be challenged with the need of Christ as Savior. That's the best Christmas gift anyone can receive, and it's the main reason we hold Christmas Town, our gift to the community."
As part of that challenge, the quality dramatic presentations go beyond just a re-enactment of the nativity to include other characters from that time and how they responded to the news that theCreator Himself became human and entered the world as an infant. These include:
The replica Bethlehem village will include a first-century marketplace, making it easier to gather last-minute Christmas gifts and souvenirs, from oil lamps and pottery to handmade scarves, hats, toys, and baskets. Nearby, "Noah's Café" will serve holiday-themed beverages and snacks.
- The story of Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist, and the joy she felt when she was told she would bear a child of promise;
- The temple guard, Hyam, whose life was transformed from shame to hope with his search for the "child born King of the Jews"; and
- The Magi, wise men who will share how and why they followed the star.
In addition to the spectacular light display, dramas, and village, the museum's acclaimed planetarium will present a special ticketed program, "The Christmas Star," about the mysterious star in the east that heralded the birth of Jesus and guided the wise men to Him.
"Christmas Town" is open 6-8 p.m. ET, Dec. 9, 10, 16, 17, 26, 27, 30 and 31, and all outdoor events (except for the camel rides) are free and open to the public. More information about these special Christmas events, plus details on purchasing tickets for the planetarium and the Creation Museum, can be found at www.creationmuseum.org or by calling (888) 582-4253. Also, admission to the museum's exhibits will be only $5 after 5pm on Christmas Town nights; the last museum entry will be at 8pm.

So, my little man just lost his first tooth a week or two ago. It didn't necessarily go as planned for him, but he was so excited. He came to me one evening and said his tooth was loose. I get the heebie-jeebies from loose teeth, so I mustered up some excitement for him and congratulated him (while inside I was cringing).
The following day he had a dental checkup and the dentist asked if I wanted him to pull it. It was looser than I expected it to be so we decided to pull it. This saved me from the terror of the loose tooth, but it left me unable to do anything special for his first missing tooth. Now, for his second tooth which is now loose, I have some making up to do so I took to the internet for inspiration.
There are a lot of books about loose teeth and the tooth fairy, but some highly rated titles are: The Night Before the Tooth Fairy, Peppa Pig's The Tooth Fairy, My Tooth is Loose Dr. Moose, and my favorite, Little Rabbit's Loose Tooth.
I had Little Rabbit's Loose Tooth when I was little. Oh, how I loved that book! I loved it so much that I just ordered a copy for my son with the original cover because I'm nostalgic like that. To me, this one is a must-have.
Have you ever lost a tooth under the pillow? I have! One of my oldest son's teeth fell between his mattress and headboard and at that point, I said I was going to approach the tooth under the pillow thing a little differently. We chose to use a tooth pillow , but there are so many cute ideas to choose from.
Tooth dish
Tooth pillow
Tooth box
DIY Tooth boxes
Tooth pouch
Fancy new toothbrush
We have the Minions and Ninja Turtles Colgate Talking Powerbrush toothbrush at home. These toothbrushes are timed for two minutes, but the coolest part is that they also talk. The toothbrush will tell your child to brush certain areas of the mouth for a given amount of time and tell them when to switch to another area. My son has been brushing his teeth so much better now that we got these toothbrushes for him. I highly recommend them.
Are you good at origami? Even if not, this tutorial could have you folding money into butterflies in no time. How fun would this be to get under your pillow?
Glitter is a really fun way to make money from the Tooth Fairy look extra special.
Tooth Fairy coin
I bought this coin when my son first told me had a loose tooth. I was going to give him something a little special for the first tooth, but it didn't arrive before the dentist unexpectedly pulled it out. So we missed the first tooth, but he will get this as an IOU for his second tooth.
If just putting a tooth under the pillow in exchange for cash isn't enough for you, these are cute ideas for making a visit from the Tooth Fairy even more magical.
Tooth Fairy letters
A note from the Tooth Fairy herself is sure to put a smile on your child's face. You can order tiny envelopes already pre-made, or if you are the crafty type, you can make them yourself.
Tooth receipt
Leaving a receipt for the lost tooth is a fun idea along with their money or small gift. I love this idea because you also have a memento with the date lost for each tooth without actually keeping the tooth.
Tooth certificate
Fairy door
Install a tooth fairy door in your child's room so the Tooth Fairy can find her way in. You can sprinkle some fairy dust or even make little footprints if you feel like going all out.
Fairy footprints
These little footprints would be adorable coming from the door above, or even on a windowsill. This might be the cutest thing ever!

Layton, R. H. (2006) 'Order and anarchy : civil society, social disorder and war.', Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.
Argues against the view that the Capitalist market economy is uniquely conducive to the creation of civil society. Shows that Locke and Ferguson identified civil society with social co-operation based on rational self- interest in all human societies. Draws on Darwinian theory to represent the evolution of social systems and the environments in which they are situated. Criticises claims for a direct evolutionary link between chimpanzee inter-group aggression and human warfare.

She keeps these old appliances (dated to about the early 1960's) in pristine shape. Her kitchen is neat as a pin. Walking into her kitchen makes you feel like you just arrived at Leave it to Beaver's house complete with appliances. I don't think I have ever seen an oven in my life time with a dial clock on it. They look great for old-as-the-hills appliances, but they work just as well as one would expect old-as-the-hills appliances would. Barely. They are definitely not reliable.
I would say the love and care she has given these old beauties qualifies her for a vote for a new set of appliances so that these old work horses could retire with dignity. If you would, head on over to the Sears KitchenAid Rescue my Appliances contest and vote for her real quick. Its is a good karma thing to do and will enter you in a contest to win a KitchenAid stand mixer of your own.
The voting portion of the contest runs until November 17th, you can vote once a day and each time you vote enters you in a chance to win that KitchenAid Mixer!
Thank you so very much and I appreciate your time in reading this post.

Blog Post by : Davendra Paltoo, Offering Manager, Data Replication
Follow Davendra on Twitter at : https://twitter.com/Davendr18397388
Real time analytics can provide real time insights. When businesses have data at the right time, they can be more efficient and make the right tactical and strategic decisions. Apache Kafka® is used for building Data hubs or landing zones, building real-time data pipelines, and streaming apps. It is horizontally scalable, fault-tolerant, wicked fast, and runs in production in thousands of companies.
The Apache Kafka (https://kafka.apache.org/) platform now has a vibrant associated eco-system.
When messages are landed in a Kafka cluster, there are a variety of available connectors or consumers that can in turn retrieve messages and deliver such messages to target destinations such as HDFS and Amazon S3. Users can save time and costs by using one of these available consumers, such as those listed on https://docs.confluent.io/current/connect/connectors.html or https://community.hortonworks.com/topics/Kafka.html
IIDR (CDC), with the initial version of its 11.4.0 release, provided users the ability to replicate from any supported CDC Replication source to a Kafka cluster by using the IIDR (CDC) target Replication Engine for Kafka. This engine writes Kafka messages that contain the replicated data to Kafka topics. The replicated data in the Kafka messages is by default written in the Avro binary format. Consumers that want to read these messages from Kafka clusters needed to utilize an Avro binary deserializer.
Users on the other hand, desired more flexibility in the IIDR (CDC) Kafka apply so that it could help users produce the various permutations of data formats of messages written to Kafka expected by the wide variety of off the shelf, custom connectors and consumer applications.
To help customers solve this challenge, IIDR (CDC) has recently introduced support for "Kafka custom operation processors" (KCOP) to improve the flexibility of message delivery into Kafka. Customers can make use of a number of integrated predefined output formats, or adapt these user exits to define their own custom formats, what data is included in the message payload, and more. Apart from giving users the flexibility of defining the message formats and payloads, users are now also able to specify the Kafka topic names for their message destinations, and much more.
Moreover, as more common customer needs are assessed IBM will add more such predefined output formats.
For more information on the KCOP and samples available, please see the IIDR (CDC) knowledge center:
For demo videos on how to make use of the sample KCOPs or to contribute to the IBM Data replication community, please see the replication developer works page: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki/W8d78486eafb9_4a06_a482_7e7962f5ac59/page/Replication%20How%20To%20Videos

The stomach is a muscular sac that is important for absorbing food and preparing food for further digestion.
Endorphins are naturally occurring amino acids. Their function is to reduce sensitivity to pain. They do this by attaching to the receptors in the brain and spinal cord and stop the transfer of pain signals. In this regard they can be considered to be naturally generated opiates that dull our sensitivity to pain. Physical exercise stimulates the production of endorphins. They have been linked to stress-related infertility problems.

Recipe: Roasted Kangaroo Short Loin
by Chef James Green
Executive Chef
Locus Restaurant & Lounge
4121 Main Street, Vancouver, BC
Tel. 604-708-4121
A mouth-watering roasted kangaroo short loin recipe that uses a macadamia nut herb crust, Canadian winter hash and sour Australian mango chutney in a Shiraz red wine reduction. Out-of-this-world delicious!
Serves: 4
Kangaroo Short Loin – Ingredients & Preparation:
2 lbs. Kangaroo short loin meat
20ml Extra virgin olive oil
- Remove the loin from the packaging and dry with a paper towel.
- On a cutting board with a sharp boning knife, remove and silver skin or excess fat from the loin.
- Trim any excess meat from the ends of the loin.
- Place loin in cling film wrap and roll tightly so the loin is shaped like a cylinder.
- Let sit in the cooler overnight so that the loin retains its cylindrical shape.
Macadamia Nut Herb Crust – Ingredients & Preparation:
100g Macadamia nuts, de-shelled
50g Panko bread crumbs
5g Sea salt
3g Parsley, fresh, coarse chopped
3g Lemon zest
2g Black pepper
1g Mint, fresh, coarse chopped
1g Cilantro, fresh, coarse chopped
- Toast the Macadamia nuts in a pan with a small amount of sea salt.
- Place all ingredients into the food processor and grind coarsely (not too fine).
- Place on a sheet tray and dry out in room temperature for about 2 hours in a dry place.
Canadian Winter Hash – Ingredients & Preparation:
680g Purple yams, peeled, small dice
454g Golden beets, peeled, small dice
150g Swiss chard, stems removed, chopped
100ml Maple syrup
31g Butter
3g Sea salt
2g Black pepper
- Toss the purple yams in a small amount of olive oil, sea salt and black pepper and roast in the oven for approximately 15-20 minutes at 375 F, tossing frequently.
- Boil the golden beets in water until tender — cool down rapidly in an ice bath.
- Prepare the Swiss chard.
- Add the purple yams, golden beets, and Swiss chard together in a container.
- In a sauce pan melt the butter until bubbling. Sautee the yams, beets and chard with sea salt and black pepper.
- Finish the dish with the Maple syrup off the heat and toss all the ingredients in the pan well.
Sour Australian Mango Chutney – Ingredients & Preparation:
454g Australian mangos, peeled, de-seeded, small dice
250ml Sherry vinegar
75g Brown sugar
60g Shallots, halved, sliced
50ml Lime juice
5g Sea salt
2g Black pepper
1g Star anise
1g Cardamom, ground
- In a saucepot sweat the shallots in a small amount of vegetable oil.
- Add the star anise, cardamom and brown sugar and let dissolve.
- Add the mangos and coat with the melted sugar, cardamom, and shallots.
- Add the sherry vinegar and lime juice.
- Reduce, and cook down the mixture until soft and tender.
- Season with sea salt and black pepper. Adjust other seasonings if necessary.
Shiraz Reduction – Ingredients & Preparation:
200ml Australian Shiraz (red wine)
31g Butter, chilled
2g Sea salt
1g Black pepper
- In a sauce pan add the Shiraz red wine and reduce by half.
- Remove from heat and whisk in the butter.
- Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste.
Entrée Composition Instructions:
- Roll the kangaroo short loins in the Macadamia nut-herb crust.
- Roll in cling film very tightly and place back in the cooler for about 1 hour to keep the loin cylindrical in shape and to promote even cooking when it comes time to cook the meat.
- Put a sauce pan on medium heat and sear the kangaroo short loin until the crust is golden brown.
- Place in the oven for about 8-10 minutes.
- Cook the loin medium rare — this is the doneness most preferred to ensure that the loin is moist and juicy.
- Let the loin rest in a tray with a paper towel to absorb any excess blood and meat juices. You do not want the crust on the loin to be too wet.
- While the loin is resting, place the Canadian winter hash on a warm entrée plate, warm up and add a generous swipe of the sour mango chutney on the plate.
- Carve the roasted kangaroo loin into medallions and place over the hash.
- Apply the Shiraz reduction under the meat.

Purchase of new mixing equipment is typically not a hasty event. Unless an unexpected challenge abruptly hit your operations such as a sudden failure of an existing mixer or a right-now sales opportunity demanding an unprecedented spike in production, process engineers generally have time to prepare for what could be a serious expenditure. As with any capital investment, the purchase of a new mixing system ideally requires time and research. Getting the project approved entails a sound evaluation of your goals, your company's business needs and all technical and financial options available to you.

Hi guys, I travelled to Cambodia, here's a review!
My name is Daisy and I travelled to Cambodia with Original Volunteers this summer; and I can honestly say it was the best decision I've ever made! I will never forget the fantastic, life changing trip I had.
When we first arrived it was quite a shock as me and my friend Tabby sat in silence as the taxi driver drove us to the project; he drove like a mad man! We later realised that this is how everyone drives in Cambodia!
We were greeted by so many friendly children and volunteers that we felt instantly comfortable. We were given a tour by one of the volunteers and chose a sleeping spot. Our first meal in Cambodia that night was a traditional Khmer curry made by the locals, it was delicious!
The project is tucked away in the countryside amongst rice fields. The sleeping is basic but exciting with all the volunteers in hammocks and mosquito nets. The toilet and shower is, erm… very interesting! ahaha… but all these are worth the experience of teaching and travelling here.
We visited children at a neighbouring project.
My free time from the capital to the coast
We travelled to the capital Phnom Penh and checked out traditional cuisine and visited the museums and important historical attractions such as the killing fields and S21. This was deeply moving but essential for a trip to Cambodia and I left with respect and more love for the country. To lighten the mood we also got manicures in one of the capital's many spa's!
Another incredible city was Siem Reap… I spent all my money here! With markets that seem never ending and beautiful temples Siem Reap was fascinating. We sat eating corn on the cob from a stall watching the monks in their vibrant yellow, orange and red robes gliding the streets. The places to eat, temples to visit, markets to get lost in, streets to wander and so many lovely people to chat to made Siem Reap a highlight of the trip… just overwhelming!
Hanging out at the coast in Cambodia.
We also visited incredible tropical islands, with beach huts and hammocks to sleep in, local children cooking and showing you around, beautiful lanterns and fireflies lighting the shore. These beautiful deserted tropical beaches were completely empty, we ran to the sea from our little beach huts and swam for hours. This whole little world was our own. We would venture to a little cafe to buy food whilst watching the sun set. Experiencing this all with new volunteering friends was a completely breath taking adventure. We travelled by tuk tuk, taxi, and boat… which one volunteer; Lauren screamed the whole way and was the only one to wear a life jacket!- very amusing.
We decided we wanted to live there and work in Cambodia forever!
(For other volunteer destinations with great beaches, see more).
Teaching the main attraction
But of course, the main attraction of the trip was the teaching!
No previous teaching experience was required and it was not at all scary like I expected! The people and children are so friendly that I felt so comfortable. We taught everyday for a couple hours each, with three volunteers in each class. One of my classes was of twenty five 8yr olds and the other was twelve 17yr olds. We taught them things to find in the classroom and how to write a postcard.
The younger ones become so attached and wanted to constantly play games and jump on your back or be spinned around until they are dizzy! And the older ones wanted to feel my curly blonde hair and ask about the UK. They are the most friendly people!
(New to English teaching abroad? Check out the Original Volunteers quick guide).
One little group of local children called, Bao, Leam, Rosa, Sreymean and Sreymoi came to find me everyday to play games or draw pictures. I'm studying art and so I drew them pictures and wrote their names out in pretty fonts… they loved this. The girls made me crowns and bracelets of flowers. While the boys made paper aeroplanes. I've kept all their drawings they did for me, because they are adorable! They have written 'Rosa <3 Daisy' and drawn flowers and hearts. Rosa took me to meet her family and see her house. Her parents were happy to meet me and I played skipping rope games with her little sisters. I will never forget how happy they all looked as we sang and counted their jumps. I always returned to the hope agency with flowers they put in my hair!
A new love of Cambodian cuisine
Since I have returned I really miss all the lovely children, the fantastic volunteers who inspired me and definitely the food! CAMBODIAN FOOD TASTES SO GOOD! I am constantly cooking noodles and rice and curries now, but nothing lives up to proper Khmer cuisine.
Travel bug now caught!
It was certainly an inspiring and incredible trip, I've made new friends, tried new foods, been pushed outside my comfort zone, witnessed some incredible views, such as, magnificent temples, glorious beaches, luminous rice fields, massive rivers, amazing houses and beach huts, and so much more that I can think of, the list is endless.
The future…
I have the travelling bug now, and want to go with original volunteers around the world! Tabby and I began planning next years adventure on the plane home!
I cannot describe in words how unbelievable our trip was as it truly exceeded all expectation. I want to spread the word and push everyone to do trips like this, because it is an eye opening and life changing experience. Go! Apply now!
Daisy… writing this really made me excited haha! Gotta plan my next trip quickly! Thank you so much for the experience Original Volunteers!

RadioNow Returns To Indianapolis
Two days after flipping CHR WNOU to All-Christmas in preparation for the move of WIBC from AM to FM in January, Emmis Broadcasting has sold the intellectual property for the "Radio Now" CHR format to Radio-One. RadioNow's website says the format is now available on 100.9. That's the former "Smooth Jazz 100.9" WYJZ.
At 4:30pm, WYJZ signed off with Jeff Lorber's "Anthem For A New America". Following a half-hour of looping a sweeper "Radio Now, NOW at 100.9", the station segued into Akon's "Bartender".
The Press Release follows below:
Indianapolis, Ind. — Emmis Communications (NASDAQ: EMMS) has sold the intellectual property of RadioNow (WNOU-FM) to Radio One, Inc. The intellectual property sold includes the RadioNow brand, WNOU trademark, and all station imaging. No purchase price was disclosed.
Beginning after 3:30 p.m. (Eastern) today, Radio One will broadcast RadioNow in Indianapolis on 100.9 FM.
RadioNow was previously the contemporary-hit-radio format of Emmis station 93.1 FM. RadioNow has been off the air since Monday, when Emmis announced its plans to migrate WIBC-AM news and talk programming to the 93.1 FM frequency beginning in January 2008.
"The decision to take RadioNow off the air was a difficult one,†said Tom Severino, vice president and market manager of Emmis Communications' Indianapolis radio properties. "It has been a vibrant, successful format, which is why we're so pleased with this agreement with Radio One. It benefits both companies, and it especially benefits the loyal listeners of RadioNow. We consider this the best-possible ending to this story.â€
"We are returning RadioNow to Indianapolis listeners, and we intend to preserve the music and spirit that has made it one of the most-listened-to stations in the market,†said Barry Mayo, radio president of Radio One. "This is a particularly satisfying announcement in view of the wonderful history of friendship and cooperation between Radio One and Emmis.†Before joining Radio One in 2006, Mayo served as senior vice president and market manager of Emmis' New York radio properties.
In January 2001, the companies formed the Emmis Communications/Radio One Community Fund, a $1 million endowment that supports non-profit organizations that improve the quality of life for the Central Indiana minority community.
Emmis Communications – Great Media, Great People, Great Service®
Emmis is an Indianapolis-based diversified media firm with radio broadcasting and magazine publishing operations. Emmis owns 21 FM and two AM domestic radio stations serving the nation's largest markets of New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, as well as St. Louis, Austin, Indianapolis and Terre Haute, Ind. In May 2005, Emmis announced its intent to seek strategic alternatives for its 16 television stations, and has since sold 15 of them. Emmis also owns a radio network, international radio stations, an interactive business and ancillary businesses in broadcast sales. Emmis Indianapolis radio properties include WIBC-AM, WIBC-FM, WYXB-FM, WLKH-FM and Network Indiana.
Radio One, Inc.

It is that time of the year when you reflect on your business, set goals and begin the march toward achieving those new goals to grow your business. Don't forget to take stock of your IT and plan to make improvements so you operate your business more effectively.
Seven Practical Steps for Small & Mid-Sized Business to Improve IT Security
Is a small/mid-sized business (SMB) more vulnerable to IT security threats than a large corporation? Taylor Amerding of CSO Online (a quality IT publication), states:
Seven Intelligent Ways to Reduce IT Costs with Plunging Oil Prices
Turbulent times can create pause for business owners to crack out the spreadsheets and find ways to become a leaner organization and pare back expenses.
Custom Business Apps Can Cut Costs
With the price of oil flirting around the $40/barrel mark, Calgary-based companies are increasingly looking for ways to cut costs to manage the downturn.
Cloud Basics for Business Owners
Do you remember the early days of the "internet"? It was this cryptic term but everyone was talking about it. It didn't take long for it to pick up so much steam that it flipped our worlds and how we do business.


text: Russia and the US may not be best buds right now, but that hasn't stopped the former building a homage to one of New York's famous landmarks in its newest shopping mall. The VEGAS Crocus City teamed up with Philips' booming lighting business to build a scaled-down version of Times Square, complete with the red bleachers found on the TKTS booth on 47th street. Naturally, the lighting company supplied both jumbo screens and its Color Kinetics LEDs for the inside and outside of the building, which can show off 16 million colors and broadcast text and graphics depending on what's required. We bet the team over at the Allianz Arena are now casting some envious glances east.

The latest iteration of Greenville School's Spirits Week* has proven rather disappointing for this reporter. Continue reading "Surprising Lack of Spirits This Week"
Month: September 2016
Against all odds, grass begins growing on the Hellscape that is Greenville's lawn
In a shocking turn of events, witnesses report that GRASS has been growing on Greenville's lawn. It has been long thought by most reputable scientists that such a feat would be impossible, seeing as the soil in Greenville's lawn is composed of a toxic mix of 85% asbestos and 15% left-over food from the Greenville cafeteria – which is possibly even more poisonous than the asbestos.
This of course comes as a shock, as it was long assumed that after Greenville tore up their own lawn in a hare-brained plot, nothing would ever be able to grow in that wasteland ever again. But shockingly, our reporters have been able to confirm the rumors: there IS grass starting to spout there.
Multiple scientists have weighed in their own opinions, and approximately 60% of scientists have agreed; the only possible explanation is that some advanced form of super grass has evolved.
Recently in the news there has been a great fear of superbugs, but now, super grass is the new greatest threat to humanity's survival. If grass can actually grow in the shattered remains of Greenville's back field, what is to prevent it from growing anywhere? In our schools? In our department stores? In our bathrooms? In Mr. Siebrecht's perfectly maintained history room? If such a horrific incident like that could occur, what could possibly prevent the invasive super-grass from migrating to Siebrecht's also perfectly maintained shiny bald scalp? All of society would certainly crumble if such an event were to occur, and Mr. Siebrecht would certainly lose his cookies.
Whatever you do Greenvillians, do not trust this mysterious grass. We'd recommend against walking on it, rolling on it, intensely staring at it, or eating it (yes we're looking at you Broomcloset Sasquatch) until further scientific research can be acquired.

First Annual 'Murica Monday Proclaimed a Total Failure
As spirit week kicked off this year, there was a resounding difference from the previous years. Strangely, Color Day, a longstanding favorite among the Greenville student body, was thrown out of spirit week, to be replaced by the first annual Nationalistic Brainwashing Day, or "'Murica Monday" as it is known by the Greenville student body.

IM BACK! Rant #2 Work, School, etc…
Alright. Now that that's out of my system, I'm back. It's been a long time since I've written an article that actually contains some real merit so I'm going back to my rant that I started and never followed up on. Here we talk about the unrealistic expectations set upon us by "The Man".
Over the summer, as I'm sure none of you know or really care, I got a job. As a summer job, this was honestly one of the best things I could've done for myself. I got my lazy pudge off the couch and got some money along the way. Granted, this did add some stress to my life and brought some deep issues to the surface but I'm in the process of fixing it all. No real issues came about from my job. Honestly, I wouldn't take back getting this job. I do really enjoy it. I just wash some dishes at the Bavarian Manor (shameless plug). And I actually got to meet a really cute girl there who I do really like. It's, overall, been a grand ol time.
Now that school has come around, however, I've encountered a bit of a conflict and am in a rather precarious situation. I lack time to do a lot of school work and it's just really exhausting to work until 10:30. Heck. I didn't get to bed last night until 12 something. Learning to balance these two things has proven to be quite an arduous task, much more than I'd anticipated at first. I'm actually quite embarrassed by my lack of control over my current situation. It has gotten easier over the past week but I do foresee many complications as my boss pushes for increased hours.
I do know I'm not the only one in this situation and to all of those who do this as well, goddamn do I respect you. And I'm also thinking about the near future. I'll be doing sports stuff soon. I'd originally planned on doing cross country but that fell through for reasons I'd rather not admit. In hindsight, I don't know if I could've handled all of that. I'm falling behind on work as we speak and I'm at the point where I kinda just accept my situation.
Well, that's all I'll subject you fine little noodles for today. But you all know I'll be back. Have a fine and cheesy day sonnies.

Johnny Pockets
So I was in the cafeteria today, observing everyone instead of socializing, as per usual, and heard someone talking about something interesting as I went to leave the crowded room as the lunch mothers started moving all the tables around.
Why are pants without pockets a thing?
At first I was wondering why this bothered the kid, but then it dawned on me, that I agree. Yes, I agree, this is a stupid article concept, but lets be real, if you know me, I talk about a lot of stupid stuff.
A long overdue Announcement
Hey Macaroni readers! We're here to make a public service announcement that honestly should have been made months ago, but I mean we're the Macaroni Report, we don't do things timely, if at all.
So the announcement is: the Head Chef has been replaced.
That's right, we got sick of that bastard so we sent him off to the Hudson Valley Community Prison Camp to live out the rest of his days, however few they may be. Of course, this left a power vacuum, but this problem was quickly solved. I, the amazing Kitchenette Intern, was put in command of the Macaroni. However, the majority of the Macaroni staff quickly realized that was a bad idea because I am legally insane, so I was turned into a "co-Head Chef", with the Mail Room VP being put into co-command to temper my general craziness. Of course, the Mail Room VP is completely insane when it comes to the topic of mail, but otherwise he's perfectly normal.
Of course, everyone knows who the dominant male is in this relationship. And of course there is also the fact that the Mail Room VP has disappeared in the last few days, so in his absence I have taken total dictatorial control of the Macaroni. I assure you dear reader that I am putting all of my resources (of which there are none) into finding my co-Head Chef partner. Every Macaroni employee (excluding myself of course) is being investigated for potential espionage. We will get to the bottom of this, and I am not just saying this to appear not guilty, that's a stupid idea.
Eat Responsibly.

After attending the conference, and hearing some gals mention they felt intimidated by the experience or apprehensive to approach their peers for fear of judgment or a lack of conversation, I thought it would be a good time to talk about a subject I've been meaning to touch on for quite some time - comparison. I even wrote my thoughts out on paper several weeks ago but didn't know when I wanted to post them. So after reflecting on my three days in Dallas and what I did to feel confident in my own skin, I decided I wanted to share (plus, it is Motivation Monday!).
To no one's surprise, I'm sure, being an influencer can bring to light a lot of personal insecurities. Critiquing your photos and constantly picking apart what you like and what you don't. You start to notice a lot of things you never did before. Some good and some annoying (i.e. my nose is crooked when I smile lol... not a big deal but it's something that personally drives me crazy). Also, putting yourself in the social media spotlight and exposing yourself to judgment is always sort of a gamble. Always wondering how your content and what you say will be perceived. Will people like me? My style? My makeup? My aesthetic? Will people get offended if I speak my mind?
I look at the trends in social media and some of the "hate" that goes around and feel entirely fortunate to have such amazing, positive, nonjudgmental followers and readers. Being unkind has never been cool and there are a lot of people out there who need some self-love who find it easy to tear down others from behind a screen. And we are all human, and words hurt, even if we know they aren't true. I say all of this because even in a group of like-minded women who live in the world of influencer, insecurities can creep in... maybe even more so in a group of people who have trained themselves to notice the smallest of details.
So how do I combat feelings of angst, worry, and insecurity? Whether it's with my friends, followers, or peers? Honestly, I stay true to myself. My default has always been to be everyone's friend. If my smile and open demeanor aren't met with positive reception, then that's okay - I move on to the next one! And there's nothing wrong with "faking it til you make it." I was talking with someone recently about my anxiety and how I'm able to put myself in situations like the conference, social media, and speaking in public... Confidence is key! I may be dying of nerves inside, and I am many times, but I challenge myself to keep a confident, positive, happy exterior. And as others start to believe it, so do I. Seriously, I encourage you to give it a try!
Over the last several years, I've also had to work at learning my own self-worth. It can be so much easier said than done sometimes but never forget you're one of a kind. And try to remember that when you're feeling self-conscious or worried about judgment from others. So many times judgment comes out of fear. But as women, and as influencers, it's our job to support and uplift each other to be our best selves. Just because we help each other shine brighter doesn't mean it dulls our own light.
At the end of the day, my goal is to always be inclusive, a friend, humble, hard-working, creatively me, and to never take an opportunity for granted. It's so easy to place ourselves under a microscope when our world starts to revolve around "likes" and possessions, or to wish we had what others have. But I encourage each of you, whether reader or influencer:
Let the success of others motivate you to be your best self and propel you to achieve the greatest of your goals. #caredontcompareOn Wednesday, I'll be back with another outfit from the conference and more about the components of education, brand meetings, and events.
I hope all of you have an incredible Monday!

Taste Preferences for Wine
Our taste preferences for specific wines is complex. We are all pre-programmed with likes and dislikes in wine. It's our genetics that define our sensory physiology and range to which we perceive them. Many of our tastes are related to sex and age. Physiologically, women and men vary drastically in their ability to experience certain things and that changes as we age. We can change our likes or dislikes through learning, culture, peer pressure, observation and life experience. Furthermore, environmental stimuli like music, time of day, colour and temperature of a room, etc. can all affect perception and reactions to it differ for each person. Even the price of a wine or the power of suggestion can alter our experience of its taste.

bind command
Bind a command to a key. The key argument is either a single character, a two-character sequence of the form `^x' (meaning C-x), a backslash followed by an octal number (specifying the ASCII code of the character), or a backslash followed by a second character, such as `\^' or `\\'. The argument can also be quoted, if you like. If no further argument is given, any previously established binding for this key is removed. The command argument can be any command (see section Command Index).
If a command class is specified via the
-c option, the
key is bound for the specified class. Use the
command to activate a class. Command classes can be used
to create multiple command keys or multi-character bindings.
By default, most suitable commands are bound to one or more keys
(see section Default Key Bindings; for instance, the command to create a
new window is bound to C-c and c. The
bind command
can be used to redefine the key bindings and to define new bindings.
