On Tuesday night Unión Española broke a 'curse' that had lasted 18 years by qualifying for the knockout stages of Copa Libertadores with a 2-1 success over Bolívar.
In 1994 La Furia Roja reached the quarter-finals under Nelson Acosta with a squad including current coach José Luis Sierra. Thanks to Pablo Fernández we have the footage of the 1994 campaign where Española fell to eventual finalists Sao Paulo. Continue reading

When animals or insects get my attention, there is a book that I refer to called Animal-Speak by Ted Andrews. According to that book, praying mantis symbolizes the "power of stillness". This was helpful for me and may also benefit you.
The praying mantis is a reminder to quiet the mind. That can be through meditation or sleep time. For me, I had not been getting enough sleep. Constant thinking about issues in life may also be draining. Some quiet time may be what is needed to bring balance to the body, mind and soul.
Thank you, Chinese praying mantis, for showing up yesterday. It is time for me to learn about the "power of stillness"

Recruiting is NOT a part time job. To grow your business and your market share in today's competitive real estate industry, brokers and managers have to put the systems in place to ensure that they are always in front in their recruiting efforts. That means building a strong, viable hit list of experienced recruiting candidates and consistently 'farming' them month after month. It's also a recommended practice to put additional systems in place to ensure you are attracting new agents as well and paying close attention to the needs of your current sales associates so as to not lose any great producers who might feel slighted or overlooked.
How do you put together a successful recruiting campaign for experienced agents?
First – create your hit list. In a database of some sort (it can even be as simple as excel), create your list of top agents who you would like to bring on board to your organization and then start learning all you can about these top producers.
Second – start sending. We've got a powerful, direct-response campaign of postcards that makes touching base month after month really simple. You can also message them on social media, send them handwritten notes, a quick word via email – but the most effective and easy way to stay in touch and top of mind is the recruiting postcard.
Third – follow up! This is the hardest part for most brokers – the dreaded phone call! Remember though – if you're using the experienced agent recruiting postcards consistently then you're actually warming up those calls which makes it easier to pick up and dial. Be personable, be strong, let them lEknow what you are doing differently in your office that would make a difference in their career and close for the appointment.
Here are four great reasons to pick up the phone:
1. Congratulate the agent on a job well done if they co-brokered a listing with one of your agents, landing a big listing that you heard about, won an award, or shared some great news on social media.
2. Invite them to a training seminar or workshop that you are hosting or that is being held in your area by a speaker and let them know that your team values giving agents all the tools, training and motivation that can help them grow their business.
3. Ask them if they've ever thought about weighing out their options and what learning what other companies have to offer and that you'd be happy to share with them in a confidential conversation just why your agents are getting a higher split/more market share/more closed gross commissions per year – or whatever your power numbers are.
4. Tell them you're impressed. That you've been in the business a long time and it is terrific to see a strong level of professionalism and integrity in the marketplace and you wanted to give them a call and let them know. Many times agents aren't getting the accolades they'd like at their current brokerage. It pays to pay attention!
These are just some great ideas to help you recruit experienced agents using our simple-to-order, direct response experienced agent recruiting postcards. Learn more today by calling our team at 866.405.3638 or click through to see results-producing recruiting postcards we have to offer!

S: Chinese Immigration
BC: Bibliography All images are from Google images Angelisland.org and its links www.aiisf.org and its links Mrs. Underhill
FC: The Life of a Chinese Immigrant Written and illustrated by: Dakota Whisnant 2 final copy
1: in this book I will explain the life of a typical Chinese immigrant and of all the hardships they faced.
2: This is where all the immigrants came who were coming from a ship that came from the Pacific Ocean, San Francisco Bay | or known to the immigrants as Angel Island. Millions of immigrants came here as the first step in getting a chance that all Americans get everyday. Many people were detained for as much a seven to ten years, or they could be out of Angel Island in a week.
3: This is the Building that all immigrants came through on the island directly off the ship, they were checked for papers, given medical checkups and then separated by ethnicity. | Also many families were split up, even some families were sent back to there home countries, it was hard times for these immigrants
4: When any immigrant came to Angel Island they had to have a passport that gave there date of birth, name and other personal information. | If you didn't have the proper paper work then you were automatically denied access to the US and sent back home. If you passed through this part, you were sent for a medical checkup.
5: If you had a disease or sickness usually depending on the severity you could go to a on site building to get better if you didn't you were seen home. Most Chinese Immigrants were overall healthy people though. | This is a small identification card for a Chinese immigrant
6: Chinese faced hard times while at Angel island. Here are some journal entries from an unknown Chinese Immigrant. Dear Family, "We have came to America in effort to have a better life, but all we have faced are persecution and hard times. They are making us stay on this island until they process our papers. Much love, Xeong | Chinese rice Farm | C | Chinese poem
7: Dear Family, This is where I am staying they call it a Tenement building it smells, and it looks bad but hopefully one day I will be able to afford a nice home in New York. Much love, Xeong | Tenement building
8: Xeong as a child (right)
9: Sample Detention Paper | Sadly Xeong will never get to see his family in America, in 1882 the United States Government passed the Chinese Exclusion Act which banned almost all Chinese Immigrants from coming to America. In 1890 Xeong died of natural causes, or a sickness he wasn't used to have in China.
10: Today Angel Island is a state park in California. in 1940 a fire burned down the building that the immigrants had to come through when they first arrived in, this is when Angel Island was shut down until just recently when it was restored. Today it is a very historical site and many people visit from all over the US.
11: Rare color photo taken of Barracks in the Restored Park | This is a form many Immigrants filled out when they came to America, Immigrants that come to the US today also fill this out

Territories - s/t
To see such potential in a new band and album, and to see how viral the songs have become so quickly, has been inspiring. Seeing everyone that they have touched so far has been incredible. Every single track on this album will strike a chord with someone, and be their favorite song this summer! The full-length was even pushed back to accommodate releasing all twelve songs as individual picture flexi singles prior to the release of the whole album. People have been eating them up at record stores and venues, and in magazines all over the world; and the videos are being streamed in droves as well! These tracks each stand on their own as pinnacle signs of musical talent and creative intuition. Climbing from the ashes of long time Canadian stronghold band KNUCLEHEAD, this new arrangement - presented to the world as TERRITORIES - is arguably better, and bound for even greater things! The song writing is phenomenal, and together as a composition, these tracks paint a picture that is impossible to misinterpret. Intelligent, focused and passionate lyrics drive these unbelievably well written songs home. This album will undoubtedly be on a lot of ?Best Of? lists this year, as it is bound to ring out and grab hold of hugely diverse groups of reviewers and fans alike. Tune in and get these tunes stuck in your head too - you?ll love it!

Project: Ballymore Eustace, Ireland
Contractor (and Architecturs): Ascon Ltd. Irland
MEVA Systems: Mammut 350, CaroFalt column formwork, Triplex
Formwork Engineering: MEVA UK
Ballymore Eustace is Ireland 's largest water treatment plant. Located southwest on the shore of Poulaphuca reservoir, the plant delivers water to Dublin City and thus serves a third of the country's population. From 2007 until 2011 the plant is being modernised. Work includes the erection of new facilities as well as the demolition and modernisation of existing ones. Since Ballymore Eustace will continue to provide clean water to the citizens, all construction work must be carried out without interference with its water output. All civil and building work is done by Ascon Ltd. Established in 1958, Ascon is the largest Civil Engineering Contractor in Ireland and a member of the Royal BAM Group of the Netherlands . A satisfied MEVA client for many years, Ascon has invested in a substantial MEVA formwork stock. To this was added more MEVA equipment shipped in from MEVA's logistics centers at Tamworth , UK , and Haiterbach , Germany . By supporting Ascon and the Ballymore Eustace project with their know-how and MEVA formwork, MEVA UK has further strengthened its key position in the local market and proved its exceptional competence.
Proved & Tested: MEVA's Wall Formwork Mammut 350
Construction work at the plant includes erecting a water reservoir building measuring 125 x 60 metres. It features two basins and different walls: an outside wall up to 10m high and sloped on the outside; a wall separating the two basins, 9.20m high and sloped on both sides; and in each basin a baffle wall 8.75m high. All walls were erected using MEVA's large wall formwork Mammut 350. The durable and torsion-proof Mammut 350 offers a formwork area of 8.75m² and is ideally suited for industrial buildings with large walls. The sloped walls are up to 55cm wider at the base than at the top, requiring the formwork to be placed at an angle. In addition, the heavy-duty braces Triplex were used to prop the formwork at the high walls and columns. Triplex is a modular prop system. Its components can be combined as required and assembled on site.
Columns Erected With MEVA's Mobile Column Formwork CaroFalt
The slab covering the basins sits on 216 columns standing in the basins. The columns are mushroom-shaped at the top and have different heights to make up for the sloped ground area and slab. The middle part of each column is 8.10m high and was erected using CaroFalt
A Special Construction Saves Time and Money
As the outer corners of the sloped outside wall taper at the top, formwork for these corners would have required a solution with timber fillers – a time-consuming and costly method. MEVA developed a special formwork construction matching the special geometric requirements. This helped Ascon save time and money.
Last but not Least: the alkus All-Plastic Forming Face
In 2000, MEVA was the first formwork manufacturer to use the pioneering alkus all-plastic forming face. While until recently not widely known in Ireland, alkus was welcome by Ascon and widely used together with the wall formwork Mammut at Ballymore Eustace. Its steady distribution and growing acceptance is also underlined by the fact that Ascon, when lately regenerating its MEVA equipment, had much of their old timber forming face replaced by the alkus forming face.
More to Come and Still Much To Be Done …
The Ballymore Eustace project is enormous and there are more construction phases to follow until 2011. The next one will see the erection of the outlet manifold and the sediment tanks. MEVA is prepared and has finished the formwork plans for the walls and columns of the outlet manifold.

Fledgling digital music mavens and developers are encouraged to apply for the Startup Innovators Challenge at SF MusicTech Summit at Hotel Kabuki on May 28.
The 12th annual event is a pivotal one in the digital music space, drawing international visitors and poising the aspiring entrepreneur for some incredible networking (and maybe even funding) opportunities.
Applications are open even to those who haven't registered for SF MusicTech, lowering what could be an economic barrier for some people; the current registration price of $279 expires on May 10 and climbs up to $600 on the day of the show.
The Startup Innovators Challenge last took place at SF MusicTech's February event and featured companies such as Plug.DJ, a virtual platform to play music and videos with friends and strangers online; CueNotes, a soon-to-be-public site for crowdsourcing facts and observations about songs to create the ultimate liner notes; and Lyricle, an app/game that tests your capacity to remember popular lyrics.

From John Adams to John Taylor, 19 April 1814
Quincy April 19th. 1814
That Aristocracies, both ancient and modern have been "variable and artificial" as well as natural and unchangeable, Mr. Adams knows as well as Mr. Taylor, and has never denied or doubted. That "they have all proceeded from moral causes" is not so clear; Since many of them appear to proceed from physical causes; many from immoral causes; many from Pharisaical, jesuitical and Machiavilian Villany; many from Sacerdotal and despotick Fraud; and as many as all the rest; from democratical Dupery, Credulity, Adulation, Corruption, Adoration, Superstition and Enthusiasm. If all these cannot be regulated by political Laws and controuled, checked, or ballanced by constitutional Energies, I am Willing, Mr. Taylor Should Say of them, as Bishop Burnet Said of The Hierarchy, or the Severest Things he can express or imagine.
That Nature makes King Bees, or Queen Bees, I have heard and read. But I never read in any Phylosopher or Political Writer as I remember, that Nature makes State Kings and Lords of State. Though even this, for ought I know, might be Sometimes pretended. I have read of Hereditary Rights from Adam and Noah, and the divine Right of Nobility derived from the Dukes of Edom: but the divine Rights, did not make Kings, till holy Oil was poured upon their Heads, from the Phyal brough down from Heaven in her beak by the holy Ghost, in the Person of a Dove. If We consult Books, Mr. Taylor, We Shall find, that Nonsens, Absurdity and Impiety are infinite!
Whether "the Policy of The United States" has been Wisdom or Folly, is not the question at present. But it is confidently asserted, without fear of contradiction, that every page and every line <
of> Mr. Adams's < Writings> has ever written was intended to illustrate, to prove, to exhibit, and demonstrate, its Wisdom.
The Association of "Mr. Adams with Filmar," in the third page may excite a Smile! I give you full Credit, Mr. Taylor, for the Witt and Shrewdness of this remark. It is droll and good humoured.
But if ever Policy was in diametrical Opposition to Filmar it is that of the United States. If ever writings were opposed to his Principles, Mr. Adams's are So opposed. They are as much So as those of Sidney or Lock.
Mr. Adams thanks Mr. Taylor, for proposing in the third page, to analyze and ascertain the Ideas, intended to be expressed by the Word "Aristocracy". This is one of those Words which have been abused. It has been employed to Signify any thing, every thing and nothing.
Mr Taylor has read Mr Locks Chapter "On the Abuse of Words"; which, though it contains nothing but what, daily experience, exhibits to all Mankindl ought, never the less, if he had never written any thing else; to Secure him immortal gratitude and renown.
Without the Learning of Luzac, Vanderkemp, Jefferson or Parsons, Mr Adams recollects enough of Greek, to remember, that "Aristocracy" originally Signified "The Government of the best Men."
But Who are to be Judges of the best Men? Who is to make the Selection of the best Men, from the Second best? and the third? and the fourth? and So on, ad infinitum? For good and bad, are infinitely divisible, like matter. Aye! there's the Rub! Despots, Monarchs, Aristocrats, and Democrats, have, in all Ages, hit, at times, upon the best Men, in the best Sense of the Word: but at other times, and much more frequently, they Have all chosen the very worst Men: the Men who have the most devotedly and the most Slavishly flattered their Vanity, gratified their most extravagant Passions and promoted their Selfish and private Views.
Without Searching Volumes, Mr. Taylor, I will tell you, in a few Words what I mean, by an Aristocrat, and consequently, what I mean by Aristocracy. By an Aristocrat I mean every Man, who can command or influence Two Votes; One beside his own.
Take the first hundred Men, you meet in the Streets of a City, or on a Turnpike Road in the Country, and constitute them a Democratical Republick. In my next Letter, you may have some conjectures of what will appear in your new Democracy from
John Adams

Fabric actually has several meanings, according to the material of the fabric is called textile fiber.
Although there are many kinds of textile fibers, they can be divided into two categories: natural fibers and chemical fibers
Natural fibers refer to the textile fibers that are present in nature or are directly obtained from cultured animals.
Chemical fiber is a textile fiber made from natural or synthetic high polymer materials
Artificial fiber refers to the fiber of natural high polymer (such as wood, bagasse or animal fiber).
Synthetic fibers are made of petroleum, coal, natural gas, and some agricultural products.
一、Natural fiber property
1、Strong moisture absorption, comfortable wearing, easy to dye, easy to shrink
2、 Alkali resistant acid, mercerized cotton is the cotton fabric treated by caustic soda.
3、 Cotton fiber is more heat-resistant, but unfavorable to be in 100 degree long time to deal with, if iron hot temperature is around 190 degrees, cotton fabric is best to spray wet when pressing, benefit to iron flat.
4、 Cotton fiber soft, weak sex, cotton fabric feel good, comfortable, washable, but easy to wrinkle, suitable for the four seasons clothing and bedding.
There are many kinds of hemp, such as ramie, flax, jute, hemp, etc. The first two are the first two. Hemp and cotton have some of the same properties.
1、 Strong moisture absorption and acid resistance.
2、 Heat resistance is also good, the ironing temperature can reach 190 degrees - 210 degrees, easy to burn.
3、The strength is higher than cotton, hemp fiber is stronger, weak sex difference, fabric is easy to wrinkle, than cotton fabric hard, quite, cool. The so-called summer cloth, namely the ramie fabrics that southerner loves to wear, after sweating, not close.
Ramie is the best fiber in hemp fiber, it has the characteristics of cool, moisture absorption, air permeability and so on, and the rigidity is high, hard, strong, not fitting, suitable for making summer clothes. Ramie and polyester blends are made of "hemp" and have a good style.
Wool, usually referred to as wool, is the largest wool fiber used in textile use.
The wool fibers are thicker than cotton fibers and have a certain curl, which is covered with scales. Due to the presence of the scales, the wool has a special property, namely, the velveteen. Fleece refers to the rubbing of wool in warm water and washing liquid, and the properties of the blanket. In life, it causes the hair products to be shrunk after washing, the density becomes larger, and the densification is one of the reasons. If the scale is damaged and its smooth and smooth surface, the wool products will not shrink. So the machine-washed sweaters sold on the market go through this kind of surface treatment.
Natural silk is divided into home silk and wild silk, the silk of the home silk is silkworm silk; The main cultivar of wild silk is tussah silk. Silk strength, long fiber, soft and smooth, weak sex is better than cellulose fiber, with unique luster. Silk fabric is known as a thin yarn, and it can make it full and aggressive. It is a high quality clothing material, which belongs to protein fiber like wool.
二、The properties of chemical fibers
As the main material of clothing, the seven nylon, their common characteristics are as follows:
A. Moisture absorption is generally lower than natural fiber, easy to carry static after friction, easy to absorb dust.
B . Most of them are of high strength, good elasticity and long fuzz.
C .When it burns, it usually softens and contracts, and some can melt, drip, drip, and smell, which is lower than natural fibers
D . Heat finalisation is better, because they are less hygroscopic, so they remain intact after washing。
It is the fastest growing fiber in chemical fiber. It's commonly known as positive. It is made of silk fabrics with soft silk, julienne, and kanas, as well as the so-called "linen yarn" popular with ladies in the summer market. Dacron polyester and cotton blended said cotton (cotton polyester), and wool blended wool, and flax spinning temperature, such as MaDi its characteristic: has the feeling of hot, airtight, dyeing, friction belt after static, dust collection, but less prone to shrinkage, easy to wash, fast drying.
Commonly known as nylon, nylon, drugs, such as its characteristics: good elasticity, high strength, high wear resistance, light fastness is poorer, yellowing easily in the sun is often used in socks, gloves, knitted sportswear, etc.
It has the characteristics of fluffy, soft and warm, such as light weight, low price, bright color, high degree, no mildew, not hot. Suitable for autumn and winter clothing fabrics, such as polyester knitwear, woolen fur coats, blankets and so on.
After blending veron and cotton, it became a popular fabric in the domestic market. Wien fabric is very similar to cotton cloth, which is the most closely related to cotton fiber in synthetic fiber. Since it is used for less clothing in China, it is more used in bedding. Therefore, it is seldom introduced.
Its raw material is a natural substance, such as wood, bamboo, cotton linter, bagasse, spinning fiber is also called the rayon, the fabrics are as follows: beautiful, artificial satin, silk, inferior spinning spun rayon, wool, etc. Its characteristics are as follows:
1、 Large hygroscopic and flammable.
2、 The surface is smooth and soft. Viscose fabric drape is larger than cotton, suitable for dress and various clothing fabrics, lining.

Free Things To Do In Barcelona You Shouldn't Miss
Barcelona is Spain's second largest city and is rich with cultural heritage from the Casa Batllo to the Palaca Reial. If you're traveling on a budget there are plenty of free things to do in Barcelona. You certainly shouldn't miss the city's museums, many of which open their doors for free on certain days of the month.
The Ethnological Museum, located up on Montjuic Mountain, is free to visit on the first Sunday of every month. If you are interested in Spain's many historical and cultural artifacts, this is the place to go to. You can combine your visit with other sites in the area such as the Greek Theatre, the historic Poble Sec District or stop for a cool beer at the Kentucky bar. At the other end of town, in El Borne, is the Picasso Museum. One of the most popular attractions in Barcelona, this museum is home of many stunning paintings and sculptures from the artist's early days. It is also free on the first Sunday of each month.

The most important advanced pilot trainer of World War II was the AT-6 Texan. The aircraft was so good and so popular, that it was used by many different service branches and many different countries. Our aircraft was one of those built for use with the Navy during WWII.
A much more advanced and challenging airplane than the BT-13, pilots who earned their wings on this great aircraft went on to learn how to fly the fighter or bomber that they would likely see combat with.

A few weeks ago I did an Instagram survey asking preferences about what would you guys like to see on my next post. Choices being my personal style, street wear, or something fancy and flamboyant. And boy was I surprised. Almost 90% people voted for personal style and street wear. To be honest it was kind of a relief for I was almost getting weary of dressing up with well, lets just say off beat hair and make up. haha
I love experimenting with my hair, make up and styling and I strive on creating images hoping that they would narrate my story, for I have somehow always believed that I am a better artist than a writer. But I am glad that you guys are keen on knowing more about me. So here I am, presenting to you, a 100% transparent version of who I am and what my personal preferences are, hope you would find and like something to refine yours.
How I developed my personal style
It is true when people say that clothes speak a lot about your personality, so let's start with my outfit here. All you need is a glance and I bet you can tell that I am someone who loves wearing comfortable clothing. Never would I compromise on style over comfort. No sir!
Coming to footwear, I have a shoe fetish. I am fine with having a small sized wardrobe, for being born in a middle class family, the art of playing around with a limited wardrobe is something that I have mastered in. But yes, I go weak at the knees when it comes to shoes and I absolutely despise heels! Especially stilettos and pumps. I am barely 5.2″ and honest to goodness, had I been 2 inches taller, heels would have been a rare sight in my shoe closet, which is why I lean more towards platforms and block heels as much as I can.
More random facts about my personal style
My Indian outfits have to have some kind of a western or bohemian element to them. I wear a lot of cropped tops and I cinch my waist whenever possible, for it is a trick that I learnt for creating an illusion of longer looking legs.
Additionally, I follow trends, but I would never choose to buy something I know is going to be in everybody's closet and I might have been born with an 8th sense that can assimilate fashion trends that are going to get viral. For instance, snap button pants. I would love to own a pair, but I would probably not like it as much when I see somebody else wearing one.
I do not have an obsession for accessories, or make up, especially bags and belts. As long as I have one of each of the basic styles and colors that I can wear with almost anything, I am good. Although, there are times these days that I do not mind loading myself with chunky fashion accessories, especially anything in gold. Statement earrings are my favorite and I am always looking out for bold earrings, the bigger the better!
To add some more interesting facts about this post, the whole series was shot on my Lenovo K8 Plus for I was too far away from home, until I realized that I had forgotten my camera's battery and going back and scheduling another day wearing the same clothes and make up was out of the question. But I have to admit, I was not all disappointed with the way the images turned out. What do you think?
Ok, opening up about myself was almost fun. Hope you enjoyed reading it and if I by anyway inspire you, do let me know on the comment section, I would love to know you and help you with any style related queries you might have.
Talking about fashion and trends, have you read my previous article on Spring Summer' 18 popular color trends yet?
Thank you for stopping by and I will be back soon with another post.

Biscuit Heaven...I have just entered that hallowed ground established by my ancestors before me!! I have achieved that light and fluffy texture that my great-grandmother's biscuits were famous for.....and I used olive oil!! From the time that I was small, I can remember walking into my great-grandmother's kitchen just in time to see her pulling out a large cast-iron skillet full of mountain high biscuits from the oven. They were quickly flipped out upon a plate to expose their crusty browned bottoms. Then, the plate of biscuits, big and feathery light, circled around the family table with hands grasping from all sides as her words echoed, "Don't just take one, have two..., there are plenty more!"
At first bite, your teeth slid into the creaminess of melting butter slowly infiltrating the hot feathery softness and finally landed to rest upon the crunchy brown bottom.... You soon understand. It is hard to eat just one. Biscuits are the bread of life in the South, not just for breakfast or dinner, but also for dessert...as demonstrated at our family table where they are savored with a slathering of fresh fruit preserves or jelly.
I learned the craft of making biscuits from my great grandmother. In her early years, she would make her biscuits in a wooden dough bowl and then transitioned into using a large vintage bowl. Her process included making a well in the always used Gold Medal self-rising flour and incorporated vegetable oil and milk. I would diligently watch her form the sticky dough into smooth balls. I was amazed at how quickly she could whip up a batch of biscuits. The biscuits were baked in her well seasoned cast-iron skillet. If her cast-iron skillet could talk, it would probably share of the hundred plus years of use by my great grandmother's mother and her and the story of how it lost its handle.
"The crackle, snap, pop of the fire rang in my ears as the bubbly gravy warmed my bottom. The intense heat creeped to my handle in a fiery fury then suddenly it ceased." - cast-iron skillet
The act of recreating her biscuits but putting my own twist to them was the challenge. Olive oil and I have a strong bond. I not only love the intense peppery and sometimes fruity flavor of extra virgin olive oil but also its health properties. I wanted to incorporate it into a biscuit dough.
Olive Oil Biscuits
2 cups self-rising flour plus 1 to 2 Tbsp. more if needed
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil plus 3 Tbsp. for greasing the skillet
1 cup whole milk
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch cast-iron skillet with 3 Tbsp. olive oil.
Pour the olive oil in the well and then add a few tablespoons of the milk. Using one hand, carefully stir the liquid mixture while incorporating more flour and gradually adding more milk.
Once a wet dough forms, begin using a folding technique to incorporate the rest of the flour and milk, if the dough is too wet add 1 to 2 tablespoons more flour.
Bake on 425 degrees F for about 12 minutes or until biscuits have fully risen. Do not overcook. If tops are still white, change your oven setting to broil and cook until the tops are golden brown.
Serves 6 (1 biscuit)

The attractive development in Swallowdale Lane, Hemel Hempstead, will include 87 one-and-two bedroom flats for affordable and intermediate rent. The area is convenient for shops, green space and public transport as well as being close to Hemel Hempstead town centre.
The development on the former site of Viking House is part-funded by the Homes & Communities Agency and Dacorum Borough Council and will be built on the site of a former office block, with demolition work beginning in December 2016.
The outdated building will be replaced with contemporary architecture. The entrance on Redbourn Road will lead into a courtyard surrounded by three four-storey blocks, rising to a nine-storey block creating a 'landmark' corner building.
The central landscaped space will create a focus for the development and be a shared area for the residents to enjoy. Click on the images below for an artists impression and plan of the development.

Blat through the Baltics: Riga
One further week, and one further Baltic country. This time, the minibus rattled along roads in northern Lithuania, past fields where farmers had erected stork-nesting platforms in hope of attracting the fortune-associated birds, and pulled up in Riga amid unseasonable sunshine.
Latvia, the brother-in-arms of Lithuania and likewise home of one of the oldest surviving Indo-European languages, was to be my home for the next seven days. These are my impressions.
2 Responses to Blat through the Baltics: Riga
Great photos! I love the central market 🙂 I see that Riga is changing, now I'm attracted to visit it again 🙂
By the way – the Freedom monument (the tall statue) is called Milda, hehe 🙂
Greetings from Vilnius!

We've all heard that coconut oil is an amazing beauty product. It's a fairly inexpensive way of treating your skin and body with a bit of love. But does it actually work, and do the results last?
In short, yes! I love using it as a pre shampoo treatment to really hydrate my hair and scalp. I apply quite a bit from root to tip, really working it into the scalp. Not only does it deeply condition the hair, but it helps keep your scalp nice and healthy. I try and leave it on for at least an hour for it to soak in. I do have to shampoo my hair at least three times to rinse it out, but it's worth it. My hair feels so smooth and looks incredibly healthy and shiny. I've not used it for a couple of week and my goodness can I tell a difference. It doesn't have the softness or shine that I crave. I absolutely recommend coconut oil for your hair.
The next way I've been use it is as a moisturiser for my feet. I'll exfoliate them using my Micropedi and then slather on the coconut oil and put on some fluffy socks. That combination is pure gold. Not only does it make your feet look so healthy and feel so smooth, but the oil is treating the nails and making them stronger. You also get immediate results. I do this nearly every single day and while it can be a bit of a chore, my skin thanks me for it. Just because it's getting colder, doesn't mean we can't have summer ready feet all year round!
I haven't tried oil pulling, honestly, the idea of it makes me queasy. My mum on the other hand is much braver than me and swears by it. Just remember to spit it on a tissue and throw it away. If you spit it in the sink, it'll solidify and block the pipes. You see why I feel queasy?
There are so many ways of using coconut oil and I've only touched the surface. I really want to try cooking with it and using it as a body moisturiser at night. I've also heard it's a great way to remove make up. Try and find a good quality coconut oil too. I've used a run of the mill one and didn't think much of it until I tried the proper organic stuff. I love Lucy Bee Extra Virgin Coconut Oil as it's completely organic and is 100% pure coconut oil. You can find it in Sainsbury's for about £6.
What's your favourite way of using Coconut Oil?
Thanks for reading,

Weighed in this morning at 154 pounds, down one from yesterday.
I started yesterday with a serving of kefir, and then not too long after my wife asked if we could go out for lunch. So, I had my usual salad bar, starting with a spinach salad consisting of tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, and topped with salsa. Then I had some chicken soft tacos with guacamole, olives, and jalapenos. I drank down only one glass of iced tea.
That evening I ate the rest of the strawberries, and had some almonds too.
I tried exercising yesterday, doing my usual two-mile jog, but I didn't get far. I just didn't have the attitude. My body felt fine, but my mind wasn't into it. I think I only did about a half-mile, and then walked back home.
I'm starting to think more about getting a membership at a gym. I know I'm doing exercises at home, but wondered if I could do better with all the equipment at a gym. We finally got some debts paid off this month and we're in a better financial position. But I guess I'm in no hurry right now.

UPDATE 2014.09.11: the schema entry point is main.xsd not oscl_rm.xsd. Thanks to Geoff and Paul for pointing this out.
The best way to extract information with RPE from DOORS is via the native DOORS driver in RPE. There is however 1 scenario where going through the DOORS native driver is very difficult to design and inefficient at runtime. The scenario is producing a document from RQM artifacts which have DOORS linked data.
This post contains the video my colleague Kumar has prepared on how to setup RPE to work with DWA as well as a brief textual description of the process.
NOTE: the information exposed by DOORS through the OSLC APIs (DWA) is limited compared to the one available through the DOORS native driver. If you use DOORS as a starting point in your report you should always use the native DOORS driver as its the best and most efficient way to get DOORS data into RPE.
The RQM artifacts are linked to DOORS requirements using OSLC APIs which are nothing more than DWA URLs . To get from these URLs to identifiers that can be used to configure a native DOORS driver instance in RPE you need to parse the URLs. This approach has several downsides":
- parsing URLs in client code is a bad practice
- inefficient – for each linked requirement RPE will make a separate request to DOORS.
- requires DOORS to be installed
For this scenario the easiest and most efficient way to get the information is to have RPE follow the OSLC links into DOORS and pull the data though DWA.
- RPE 1.2.1 and above version should be installed
- DWA up and running
- Consumer key and secret are setup in the DOORS client
- a schema for DWA data – you need to build this schema manually as there is no service to offer it. A sample DWA schema is available here: RPE DWA Schema Example
The entry point of the schema is main.xsd
Steps to enable RPE to extract data through the OSLC API
- Edit oslcServiceProviders.xml in RPE_HOME\config
- insert/update base URL, pattern, consumer key and secret fields for DOORS Web Access
- RPE ships with an oslcServiceProviders-sample.xml which you can rename after editing the fields
- How to find the DWA URL
- Logon to DWA to find URL or retrieve the info from the DOORS client
- Set Authentication type as OAuth-OLSC in the document specification

"People say the world is a rough place, and there should be someone to fix it.
We say the world is full of gratefulness because we do what we truly believe in our heart."
It has begun!
We are 2013 Illini 4000.
The weather was not necessarily pleasant, but that made a stronger bond among team members to stay together. I appreciate everything we have faced and got accustomed to learn and be cheered.
There are so much I want to share about our host, and I would like to mention those great things separately.
Every mile counts and every heart beat rhymes with what our spirit is meant to dream of.
Thanks for your support and kindness!

Hi beauties..!! Hope you all doing good. 🙂
Ok..! I guess by this time you might have already thought that who is using tooth powder these days. Right? 😛 But trust me, this isn't just a tooth powder, but more than it. A powder with medicinal properties that aids you to keeps your gums and teeth healthy and clean. A review that is worth sharing with you all..! 🙂 I hope it helps you too in the way that it helped me to maintain a better oral hygiene.
Acacia arabica
Azadirachta indica
Mentha spicata
Quercus infectoria
Sodii Chloridum
Anacyclus pyrethrum
Syzygium aromaticum
piper nigrum
Curcuma longa
Cinnamomum camphora
Mentha piperita
Sepia officinalis
Potash alum
Dosage and directions of use : 2-5g. powder or as required rub gently & roundly with help of finger tip or soft tooth brush on teeth & gums twice daily in morning before breakfast and in evening after dinner or as directed by the physician.
Indications: useful in all types of teeth & gum problems and maintains oral hygiene.
M.R.P (Incl. of all taxes) : Rs. 65/- for 100g.( It will last for so long, I bought it 3 months back and didn't finish it yet :P)
Patanjali DIVYA Dant Manjan REVIEW:
Well, Needless to say as we all know patanjali products are one of the best products which does what it claims that too with the power of herbs and natural ingredients. I guess this is the reason which makes us love these products the most than any other. 🙂 Patanjali DIVYA Dant Manjan comes in a handy container type small bottle that has a flip top cap with a small hole on the cap of the container. This allows the right amount of product to fall on your palm.
Neither too much nor too little. Its packaging is quite simple and handy to use even while travelling. To talk about the color of the product, it is in brownish shade (Take a look at the picture below).
To take on the effectiveness of the product, it is quite satisfactory. A small amount of the powder will do the job (Do not take more product as you will definitely end up wasting it). Seriously, 2-4g is more than enough. As your brush, the powder foams a little which gives you "looks-like-i'am-actually-brushing-with powder" feeling 😛 .This also reminded me that there wouldn't be any sulfates or silicates that would give much foam as toothpastes ( Thumbs up for this 😉 ). I suggest you not to brush for more than 2 minutes as the Cinnamon and the other herbs may overpower your mouth. After you wash , your mouth and teeth feel so squeaky clean and fresh. 😀
Does the product gives justice to what it claims? Yeah..! Quite well. Although it doesn't specify on whitening part of the teeth, it maintains the oral hygiene and also reduces any teeth and gum related problems.
Worth a try/buy? If you don't have any special problem seeing your toothbrush a little yellow, then its surely a worth to try.
UPDATE ( After 7 months of using)
I am updating it again after using it for almost more than 7 months now. Believe me I'm still using the same which i bought for the first time and it is about to end now. LOL. I still cant believe that i used this tooth powder for more than half an year and still not bored of it. Seriously, the quantity is so much to use for a single person (FYI to check how long the product lasts, am the only one who used this form my whole family. hehe)
Another TIP I discovered myself was- As a Mouth wash 🙂
Just in case If I am lazy or I didnt find time to brush my teeth in the night before going to sleep. I'll just put a small teaspoon of "Patanjali Divya Dant Manjan" in my mouth and then gargle with water for 30 or 40 seconds. It acts as a natural mouthwash, cleans your teeth and freshnens your breath. Isn't that a life Hack now 😀
Try this next time. Only in case if you are lazy as I am. 😛
Let me know if anyone of you have ever used this tooth powder or just discovered any other lazy hack like me,then just comment them below. Who knows, you might be helping a random lazy girl out there. 🙂 🙂

text: Gwen Stefani, one half of America's favorite The Voice couple, tried not to discuss that relationship this week on Ellen. "I thought it would be a good idea not to talk about Blake [Shelton]. See what would happen…." she told the host. So Ellen suggested they just take a gander at some pictures of the couple. The lovey-dovey pics were all it took: Gwen's subsequent giggling and blushing as she hid her face made it very clear how things are going between Blake and her. "This is so embarrassing," Gwen said, as Ellen smiled. Win.

Suggested for this Experiment
- CC Bubbles
For this experiment I decided to start with type as the source layer. The main effect is CC Bubbles, which I've used in the past but never applied directly to type, and had no idea how it would look. To my surprise I got an interesting, organic look pretty much out of the box. With a bit of tweaking, the addition of CC Wide Time and Compound Blur and Displacement Map to help integrate the type, it started to look pretty sweet.
I came back to it the next day and added Gradient Ramp, Glow and Sapphire S_Glow and S_BokehLights and am really happy with the result. Take a look at the project and see what you can come up with. If you don't have Sapphire you can download a free trial or try some different effects but be sure to focus on CC Bubbles.

In order to do so, the artworks must be in a place accessible to all the employees, throughout the next for years after its acquisition.
Imagine a compagny that obtains three artworks with MyArtMakers in 2014 for an amount of 100 000€. This society will deduct 20 000€ of it's imposition from 2014 to 2018, in the 5% limit of its annual turnover.
The artwork must be saved in an adjustment account. The deduction will then be detained in a special reserved account. The price of the artwork will be deducted on taxes in a non-accounting way from the acquisition date and the four years after, dividing the amount equally every year. The deduction amount must be subscribed to a special reserved account passive from the society.
If you want to separate yourselves from an artwork obtained with us, or if you want to carry out a deduction on the special reserved account, the amount deducted will be reintegrated in the taxable year.
This deduction is carried out in equal parts after the annual tax results and the four years after for bought artwork starting from 1.1.2002 (or the nine or nineteen years after for other following artworks that were bought on the 1.1.1994 or before).

Newest obsession? MAD MEN. I am now on season 4 and I don't want it to end! Does anyone know when the next season starts? And does anyone else watch? I even made myself into a Mad Men character, hehe.
This past Saturday, I had a very important event. Also, a very sad milestone. September 17th marked the 6 month anniversary of my Father's death. It also happened to be same day as my local Out of the Darkness Walk supporting suicide prevention. It was a bittersweet day. I was so happy to raise money for the cause and do everything I could to help... I was just sad I had to.
Everyone wrote on the sidewalk a tribute to their lost loved one.
Balloon Release.
Louis and I walking for my Dad.
A wonderful thing did happen though. I got in the car to drive to the walk and what came on the radio?
If that isn't a sign, I don't know what is.
I do know, Dad. And I miss you..
PS, Hannah is having a giveaway. I want it.

Research Summary:
Our body's immune system is a complex collection of cells and soluble substances produced by cells. These components interact with one another and play a fundamental role in maintaining good health. In a healthy individual, the interactions and communications among all immune system components result in protective responses to disease caused by infection from viruses and bacteria. In the absence of infection, having a strong immune system promotes rapid wound healing.
Sometimes, for reasons we do not yet understand, the immune system becomes unable to discriminate between harmful infection and normal healthy organs of the body. This can cause debilitating diseases that affect joints, leading to arthritis; affect the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas, leading to diabetes; affect the gut, leading to inflammatory bowel diseases; and can also cause allergic reactions.
Dr. Julius aims to understand the nature of each immune system component and characterize, at a cellular and molecular level, how the interactions among them lead to normal healthy immune responses and good health.
Once we figure out how the immune system functions in healthy individuals, we will be able to design ways to increase its ability to protect our bodies, and we will be able to pinpoint and "fix" the components contributing to circumstances that result in the improper functioning of the immune system.

Believe it or not, our plant-based eating habits may not be the be all, end all of good health. It's sad really, because the fact of the matter is, our over processed farming soils are not as nutrient dense as they were 50 years ago, which has had a huge impact on our fruits and vegetables. We've always believed that eating the right foods, grown in the right ways can heal almost any ailment or beauty concern, but sometimes, your body needs the kind of boost that only supplements can provide. The issue is, not all supplements are created equal. Many are filled with fillers and artificial additives that end up doing more harm than good. To navigate the murky waters of the supplement world, we ask Jules Miller, founder of our favorite supplement brand, The Nue Co., and The Nue Co.'s official Medical Advisor, Dr. Tiffany Lester, to weigh in.
Jules MillerFounder of The Nue Co.
The Moment: What differentiates The Nue Co. products from other supplement brands?
Miller: Simplicity – rather than synthetic actives, bulking agents and fillers, we use organic foods and powerful prebiotics and probiotics to deliver highly absorbable supplements.
When you look at our ingredients we use five, maybe six ingredients, rather than thirty plus. This way we ensure that each ingredient does what it's supposed to, instead of delivering a trace element or cancelling another out.
We also don't look, feel or act like a supplement brand – we set out to redefine the category, to create products that you could engage with in the same way you would your favorite beauty brand.
The Moment: What are the biggest things/ ingredients to look out for when shopping supplements?
Miller: Next time you're browsing supplements, flip the bottle and have a look at what you're actually taking.
Common ingredients in off-the-shelf supplements include hydrogenated oils, artificial colours or flavourings, magnesium stearate or titanium dioxide – all things you'd want to think twice before consuming. It's these elements that cause the familiar most-supplement-nausea, as your body struggles to digest synthetic ingredients.
The Moment: Personally we are HUGE fans of the Pea Protein from Nue Co. as it really increases our energy throughout the day. What are some of the results others have seen with The Nue Co.?
Miller: Results can really vary from person to person – we're the first to point out that what works for one person, may not work for another. Overall, people tend to see an improvement in their skin clarity, energy, digestion and some also report better sleep.
There's research emerging weekly about the far-reaching benefits of prebiotics and probiotics, it's a very exciting time.
The Moment: What is the best way to absorb the full benefits of The Nue Co.? Should we be taking with certain foods or at specific times of day?
Miller: For optimal results, I recommend taking daily. Find something that works for you and stick to it. Personally, I take Plant Protein + Gut Food and Skin Food + Prebiotic every morning mixed with some almond milk. I do it first thing, then grab a coffee – it's such a routine that something feels off if I don't do it.
You can also take them as and when you feel you need it. For example, I usually have a spoonful of Debloat Food + Prebiotic after a heavy dinner, and I often reach for the Milk Protein + Gut Food mid-afternoon for an energy boost.
Dr. Tiffany LesterMedical Director of Parsley Health San Francisco and The Nue Co. Medical Advisor
The Moment: What is a dietary supplement?
Dr. Lester: A supplement is any vitamin, mineral, herb, or antioxidant that is taken internally or topically to enhance the body's metabolic function and/or treat imbalances/deficiencies. In my clinical practice I have found that most people don't really benefit from just taking a multivitamin. We are all a N of 1. Identifying specific nutrient deficiencies and assessing gut health which affects absorption of the nutrients is more effective long term.
The Moment: Who should take dietary supplements?
Dr. Lester: I believe everyone can benefit from taking supplements no matter how healthy their diet is or how much they exercise. In our modern world, our bodies are under constant bombardment from outside stressors while at the same time not allowing adequate time for recovery. On top of that, even the healthiest foods are lacking key nutrients because of the soil they are grown in. So that alone is not enough to maintain health and create vitality in our bodies.
The Moment: What's your number one The Nue Co. product?
Dr. Lester: Currently my number one product is the Skin Food. I have it sitting on my desk and will mix it with 2 oz. of warm water and take a shot before lunch. The prebiotic inulin helps to regulate my blood sugar since I tend to eat my highest carbohydrate load at lunch. The fact that it also brightens my skin and boosts collagen is an extra bonus!
The Moment: One of the biggest questions we get involving supplements is, what changes to look out for. How can we know the supplements we are consuming are the factor making our skin better or giving us more energy, etc.?
It's important to not make too many changes at once. While it's true that changing your diet and increasing your exercise minutes can have positive synergistic effects on your health, it can be difficult to tell what is actually moving the needle forward. Working with a doctor who can help you prioritize when and how to introduce supplements into your regime is key to track changes over time.
The Moment: Why do so many supplement companies use fillers instead of active ingredients?
Dr. Lester: The supplement industry unfortunately is not regulated by the FDA like drugs. Therefore many companies cut corners. In 2015, a study done by an outside party tested supplements from major stores like Target, GNC, and Costco. 4 out of 5 of the supplements did not contain any of the herbs on their labels. Even worse, the fillers that were added included ingredients like powdered legumes and wheat. When I work with patients in my private practice, I am often counseling people to avoid these ingredients that may contribute to chronic inflammation and disease. They could be eating the healthiest diet and managing their stress well but still not see results. It's remarkable to see my patients get better simply by improving the quality of their supplements. This is why companies like The Nue Co. is so needed because they get this overlooked issue on a fundamental level.
Supplement Dictionary
Probiotics introduce good, beneficial bacteria to the gut. They balance out the bad to keep your body working as it should.
Prebiotics are specialized plant fibers that nourish the good bacteria already in the large bowel or colon. Prebiotics act as a fertilizer for the good bacteria that is already present in the gut.
A naturally occurring, indigestible carbohydrate that boosts digestion, improves gut health, and increases calcium absorption.
Special thanks to Jules Miller and Dr. Tiffany Lester!

Departure information
Responsible tourism
Sikkim circular trekking & culture vacation, India
Carbon reduction
Your vacation will help support local people and conservation. We must also reduce CO2. Learn about the CO2 emissions of this vacation and how to reduce them.
We try not to run whistle-stop tours. Tourist haunts and large hotels are usually avoided. You are never packaged. And remember our maximum size of group is 12 and less for some expedition grade trips.
On all our Treks utmost care is taken to ensure minimal harm to the Environment. We strongly are against use of bonfires in the woods, all the trash is collected after the camp is wound-up and taken back. Any bio-degradable item is buried under the ground. We advise the clients not to use plastic mineral bottles and instead use refillable mineral water bottle, during treks we provide boiled water to the clients.
Responsible office practices
We also try to minimise the impact on the environment in our UK office. For instance:
Our brochure and stationary is printed on recycled paper
We re-use or recycle office waste paper
We make sure office equipment is turned off overnight
We support the IPPG (International Porter Protection Group)
The IPPG works to improve the conditions of mountain porters in the tourism industry worldwide. This means porters carrying for individual trekkers, organized groups, climbing expeditions and those who supply lodges. We support the work of IPPG and endorses its five recommended guidelines.
We are aware that every trip has an impact and we do all we can to ensure that this is sensitive to the local environment and benefits the local community. We want our clients to appreciate and respect other countries, their institutions, traditions, religions and heritage and we are committed to creating positive long-term relationships with the communities and places we visit.
To ensure we meet these aims, we work with local people, using local staff and supporting locally owned accommodation. Treks and group logistics are organised to have minimal impact on the environment: groups are limited (max 12); wood is only used for fuel when other resources are not available; cleanliness of water sources is protected at all times; trek leaders are rigorous in ensuring that all litter is removed from campsites and properly disposed of.
We are a member of of Tourism Concern
Tourism Concern's mission is to ensure tourism always benefits the local communities they do this through a wide range of exciting and innovative projects. From working with communities in destination countries to reduce social and environmental problems connected to tourism, to working with the out-going UK tourism industry to find ways of improving tourism so that local benefits are increased.

Fruit growers in Israel have reported delays and reductions in orders from abroad since the military operation in Gaza was launched, due to various boycotts against Israeli produce.Israel is a fitting case for boycott with or without these crimes in Gaza but they are educating people as to the true nature of the State of Israel and the zionist project and ideology.
Farmers say much of their produce is being held in warehouses due to canceled orders, and fear a sharp decrease in fruit exports to countries such as Jordan, Britain, and the Scandinavian countries.....
Eshel says the boycott did not exist before the Gaza offensive was launched. "It's getting worse, and more voices can be heard calling to boycott Israeli merchandise," he said. "Until the operation began we had excellent business, though the economic recession in Europe was causing a slight fall in the market."

Pips squeak as boycott bites
I might be mixing metaphors there, not sure. See this Ynet report.
