You've completed your host family profile, perused the database of available au pairs, and now it's time to interview your selected candidate. Interviewing your potential au pair can be exciting and nerve-wracking, but there's no need to sweat! Check out these top tips for interviewing and matching with your au pair.
Start with the basics.
Begin your conversation with a smile, and tell your au pair all about your family. Your potential au pair will be interested to know the unique personalities of your little ones, what your town is like, and how a typical day in your household goes. Keep things light, demographic, and informative. Don't forget to cover any special circumstances your household may have like dietary requirements or unique schedules.
Ask about their lifestyle.
Now that you've introduced yourselves, it's time to find out a little more about the personality of your au pair. Your au pair will not only be your childcare provider, she'll also be living with you as a member of your household. Ask questions to see how your daily patterns will fit together.
Try the following questions:
- Are you a night owl or a morning person?
- What are your favorite hobbies and interests?
- How often do you spend time with friends? How often do you relax on your own?
These types of questions will give you an idea of what it will be like to live with your au pair on a day to day basis.
Discover their motivations.
Now that you've warmed up to one another, it's time to move on to the formal part of the interview. The question "Why are you interested in becoming an au pair?" is good but digging into past experience is even better. Ask your potential au pair about their previous childcare work- what was exciting about it? What was the best part? What was the most challenging part? This will give you some authentic insights into how your potential au pair feels about working with children and why she wants to be an au pair.
In this section, you can also ask your potential au pair how much she's traveled outside of her home country or lived outside of the home before. These questions serve as an indicator of how your au pair may adjust to the adventure of moving overseas.
Learn about their experience.
From there, you can ask the more typical questions about childcare experience. Try to avoid yes and no answers, opting for descriptive questions instead. Not only will this provide richer information, it will also give you a better idea of your au pair's English abilities.
Examples include:
- What types of activities do you enjoy doing with children?
- How old were the children you worked with?
- Are you comfortable driving with the children in the car?
It's also important to ask situational questions. Ultimately, you are vetting your potential au pair on whether she can perform a job.
Go for pointed questions like:
- Describe a time you had to handle a child who was not listening to you and was misbehaving. What did you do?
- Describe a time where your activities for the children didn't go as planned. How did you adjust and adapt?
Situational questions help you explore your potential au pair's problem-solving style.
Interviewing your au pair is the fun first step in your relationship together! For more information, read our complete Host Family Interviewing Guide or check out a Local Coordinator's perspective on how to know if a specific au pair is a good fit for your family.

George Soros is considered by most accounts as a brilliant man. If you don't know who he is then you haven't been watching the news or financial markets.
Mr. Soros is one of the wealthiest men in the world. He's a hedge fund billionaire, philanthropist and all around financial genius. When this guy makes moves, world markets hold their breath. One of his most storied accomplishments is breaking the bank of England. Don't ask me to explain how he did that, but it did happen.
What could this person possibly have to do with emergency preparations?
Well it seems that George Soros has recently made some pretty grim predictions concerning the health and fate of the world's economy. In a recent interview for The Daily Beast (Jan 24, 2012) Mr. Soros warned of some dark times that are coming. Below are some excerpts taken from the article.
Europe is confronting a descent into chaos and conflict. In America [Soros] predicts riots in the streets that will lead to a brutal clampdown that will dramatically curtail civil liberties [emphases added]. The global economic system could even collapse altogether.
We are facing an extremely difficult time, comparable in many ways to the 1930s, the Great Depression. We are facing now a general retrenchment in the developed world, which threatens to put us in a decade of more stagnation, or worse. The best-case scenario is a deflationary environment. The worst-case scenario is a collapse of the financial system.
At times like these, survival is the most important thing.
Take the time to find this article and read it in its entirety, it's an eye opener for sure. Regardless of the type of disaster we can expect, now is the time to get ready. Making proper preparations now will likely mitigate the possible impact of these hard times, if they do come to pass.

Comparing and gathering information about available training programs plays a major role in choosing the best life coaching school. Make your decision only after exploring life coach career options and comparing them to your personal goals and expectations. Also consider cost, program length, and any previous experience that may be required with the different styles of life coaching.
Determine any particular area you want to pursue before deciding on a life coaching school. Life coach programs focus on different styles of coaching, and you may be better suited for one area or another. People hire life coaches for a variety of reasons, from career guidance to help with relationships, getting fit and healthy, or becoming more spiritual.
If you already know what type of coaching career you want, then you can choose life coach courses in your desired specialty. If your interests are unclear, then explore the different styles of life coaching to find what suits you best. Consider your personality, past experience, and abilities when deciding on a specific coaching style. Established life coaches and guidance or admissions personnel at life coach schools can offer helpful advice regarding styles of life coaching.
Life coach schools vary in size, type, and cost. Many community colleges offer life coach courses that are part of a college degree program. Other life coach schools provide the specific classes required to become a certified life coach. Both degree-based and certificate programs offer benefits, and you must decide which one best meets your needs.
Degree programs include general education courses in addition to life coach courses. These can provide a broader overall experience but can also take longer. An associate's degree typically takes two years to achieve, if the student attends full-time. Certificate programs offer a more direct approach, focusing solely on life coach training. Earning a certificate usually takes less time than degree-based programs since it is more focused.
Cost may be a deciding factor when choosing the best life coaching school. College programs frequently accept government-funded financial aid to help with tuition, and community colleges are one of the least expensive types of higher education. Certificate programs may not have financial aid options, and tuition may be higher. Choosing a life coaching school should involve a thorough examination of how much money will be needed, as well as any scholarships or aid programs that may be available.
References can help you narrow down the best life coaching school. Seek knowledgeable, experienced life coaches in your field of interest, and ask them where they were trained. Gathering information from experienced coaches can help prevent mistakes and missteps along the way. Beware of life coach programs or schools that have a poor reputation, even if they may appear well put together online or in a brochure.
Post 3
@heavanet- That is a good point. Finding a good life school is the first step to finding a good life coach. You can probably even get information about the training that goes into educating the graduated coaches.
Post 2
@raynbow- I think that is where the good life coaching school comes into play. When a life coach has had qualified schooling, he or she will be more open to helping clients achieve numerous types of goals.
You can probably even find a good life coach by contacting a life coaching school These organizations are more than willing to promote their graduates.
Post 1
One good way to find a good life coach is to look for someone who is willing to work with you on the issues that affect your life. This type of coach will be able to give you the best direction for helping you achieve your goals, from career plans to relationship strategies.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

62O ARMSTRONG W H IT WORTH Mr HI TI E r No. 7 SQUADRON By JOHN YOXALL The History of a Famous Bomber Squadron FEBRUARY ioth, 1941, was an important day, markingas it did the squadron's first operation in World War II.Three Stirlings, captained by S/L. Griffith-Jones, D.F.C., S/L. Lynch-Blosse, D.F.C., and F/L. Howard Smith, successfully bombed oil-storage tanks at Rotterdam; 46 X 500-lb bombs were dropped. All three aircraft returned safely from this trip but later in the same month S/L. Lynch- Blosse failed to reappear after attacking shipping in Brest harbour. It was not until after the crew's relatives had been informed that it was found out that the Stirling had landed at Boscombe Down after jettisoning its bombs "safe" on Salisbury Plain. Oakington itself was visited by a lone Dornier but the only damage sustained by No. 7 was a slightly chipped elevator. The first casualties were S/L. Griffith-Jones and his crew, whodid not return from a raid on Brest on March 3rd; some of them were known later to be prisoners of war. Brest at this time wasthe squadron's chief target, mainly because of the presence there of the two battle cruisers Schamhorst and Gneisenau (nicknamed"Salmon and Gluckstein"). The German capital was first attacked by No. 7 on April 17th,when F/L. Williams dropped a 5 x 1,000-lb and 7 x 500-lb load on targets in Berlin. Occasionally, also, there was a daylight raidon German or Dutch docks or on enemy convoys moving along the continental coast. The night trip to Berlin from Oakingtonand back took at least five hours, and a raid on Brest harbour about the same; the elapsed time was to a great extent dependenton the routeing of the raid. Four aircraft were the squadron's usual contribution to a raid in April, but a month or so laterthis was stepped up to six and occasionally nine Stirlings. Excitement ran high during the chase and sinking of the Bismarckin May, 1941. Seven aircraft of No. 7 put in 52 flying hours searching for the cruiser Prinz Eugen, which had parted companywith the crippled battleship. The search was led by W/C. Graham, but unfortunately the ship was not located. As soon as it wasknown that the cruiser had reached Brest the squadron made more heavy night attacks, at times sending in seven Stirlings. Itproved to be a difficult and unsatisfactory target, owing to the smoke screens continually laid by the Germans. On the daylight raids there were frequent excitements. Forinstance, on June ioth, two Stirlings—S/L. Seale and F/O. Blacklock, D.F.M.—left in the afternoon with Emden as theirobjective. Cloud cover failed and the Stirlings turned back. Blacklock was attacked by three Me 109s; he immediately wentdown to sea level while heading towards cloud cover. The Germans opened fire at 300 yards with both cannon and machineguns, breaking off at 150 yards. Sgt. Graham, the rear gunner, engaged the enemy first on the port and then on the starboardside. Two further double attacks were made and on one run the German aircraft approached from dead astern. The Stirlingjinked to starboard and a Messerschmitt went to port, giving Graham an opportunity to get in a long burst; he hit the fighterin the centre of the fuselage, whereupon it dived straight into the sea. By now two of the rear guns had gone u/s, but in spite of seven or eight repeated attacks Graham cleared the stoppages, meanwhile instructing his captain on which way to turn to avoid being hit. A final attack came from the starboard bow, when Sgt. Ashton, the front gunner, managed to get in a long burst before the Messerschmitt broke away. The engagement had lasted 18 minutes. Both Stirlings returned to base but Blacklock's was considerably damaged. Three weeks later Blacklock was in trouble again in the same area. The Stirling accompanying him (F/L. Collins) was shot down by some yellow-nosed Messerschmitts and, to add to his troubles, his own aircraft was "jumped" by some Hurricanes as it crossed the coast near Southwold on the homeward journey. It was a difficult and testing period. Almost every aircraft,whether operating by day or by night, was attacked by enemy A rear gunner testing the 01 turret and the f Dolly-loads of bombs being hoisted into the bomb-bays, maximum bomb load was 18,000 Ib.

These quick Halloween celebrity costume ideas are knockouts!
The celebrity theme Halloween costume is perhaps one of the easiest, fastest and most successful of party costumes. You may be invited to a sort of impromptu Halloween bash at the last minute, so to speak. If you've got just a week's notice, rental shops will be out of most stock and discount store racks will be picked clean. Where do you find a costume? Here's how to put together a list of quick Halloween celebrity costume ideas in a hurry, be the hit of the party and not spend much.
Pick your favorite celebrities. Use the image feature of Google to locate images of your celebrity pick. You'll find the images form a composite style analysis, allowing quick Halloween celebrity costume ideas to flow like silk.
If you're going as a couple, some of our picks for quick Halloween celebrity costume ideas are naturals for a couple. The idea is to simply catch the style of the desired celebrity, noting signature items such as hats and jewelry. Shop thrift or retro shops for clothing, shoes and accessories. Inexpensive wigs are readily available and can be styled, gelled or whatever. Makeup may be important to capture the celebrity persona. You want to be easily identifiable, with your true identity anyone's guess.
The femme fatale is a popular celebrity costume genre. Take Marilyn Monroe, or perhaps Paris Hilton. Marilyn would require red lipstick, a short blond wig you'd style and a 1960s glamor girl dress with wide skirt and dainty heels. Among the femme fatales, Paris might require nothing more than lingerie, the wig and plenty of pink lipstick and mascara, if you have the nerve. Otherwise, you can go for a sun dress. Unmistakably Paris.
How about some classic celebrities? Lauren Bacall and Bogie had strong, distinctive personas. Lauren's signatures were her slim 1940s high-class dresses, her hair and a provocative, strong personality. Thrift and retro stores and a wig are your resources. Bogie's hat, the ever present cigarette and plain suit describe him to a T. Add a little sophisticated macho and you're Bogie. Developing your character is key to any quick Halloween celebrity costume idea that works.
Using this technique, think about these celebrity possibilities: Elvis is a perennial favorite. How about Dustin Hoffman as Tootsie, complete with 1950s eyeglasses and shimmering red vamp dress? Scare fans may enjoy being Robert Englund, as Freddie Krueger or the Phantom of the Opera. Hannibal Lecter is another unforgettable scary guy. Get a mask like that he wore after he was caged. A couple? She's Clarice, with a bottle of Chianti and a piece of liver. Pick your celebrity.
Here's a good one: Governor Sarah Palin is now a celebrity politician. Early 1950s eyeglasses, a navy suit and a 1950s bouffant. Easily replicated and identified! Arguably the top pick quick Halloween celebrity costume idea.

Across the Pond: Are We Going to be on "Fire"?
Yes in one week we'll be playing Chicago Fire, the club who was dead last, last year.
Chicago improved much and they play better. With the comming of Johan Kappelhof and John Goossens, the Dutch media is all over the Fire. First of all Kappelhof.
Kappelhof has been a great defender for FC Groningen the past couple of years. For me, and almost every other Dutch man, it was a surprise Kappelhof left FC Groningen. He played almost every game as a starting XI player, so why would he go to the MLS? I think, because of the fame and the lifestyle. In my opinion, he isn't earning more money than he had at Groningen, but living in Chicago, one of the biggest cities in the USA, is attractive. It's also a new adventure for t. MLS is a league, that improves with every season. When I was on S2E1, I said that every team improved and none is getting worse. So you want to be a part of the rollercoaster, that is only getting better. Sebastian Giovinco of Toronto FC came to the MLS for that reason.
On to John Goossens.
John Goossens has been a minor player at both Ajax and Feyenoord, but still, those two clubs in your history helps. You don't have to play matches to learn, and that's the case of Goossens. Goossens is the kind of player who can choose to be a star in a minor club or to be a substitute on a major club. He choose the second. It's not a bad thing, but you want to play sometime. A dog can't stay inside, it wants to be outside. So he went to some small leagues, leagues in Europe that don't really matter. But again, it's not a big club. And it's a bit of a downfall. So he went to the USA to chase his American Dream and that dream comes to live in Chicago. He was on training with Chicago Fire -just like Ivanov for NYCFC- and played some pre-season matches. In one of those matches, he scored a goal which was out of this world. Picked it up out of the air and shot the ball as hard as he could in the net. Beautiful. It drew media attention here in the Netherlands, with headlines as "the old dog, as good as a puppy". I think the reason why Chicago got him, is of his experience in Europe. He played at many clubs, sometimes on the highest level and sometimes as a sub.
But is NYCFC ready for Chicago Fire and for the 21st season of the MLS?
I have three answers for that: YES, NO and Maybe.
YES: NYCFC found a solution to the problem last year: defence. With the likes of Brillant, White, Mataritta (such a hard name) and Martinez we should not complain about bad transfers (yet). We also picked up some midfielders. Another reason why I say YES, is because of our pre-season. We won almost every game, even against Montréal. One game we lost, but hey that can only be good. It keeps us awake and doesn't make us cocky. With these facts I think we will win.
NO: We have new players, okay fine, but are those new players great teammates? With so many new players, it's like we build up the club again from the ground up. Are all these players going to work together well? Is the new defence ready? Can we score goals and are our DP's ready for the season? In my opinion, there are too many questions to be answered.
MAYBE: It's a new season. New players are in and are unknown to the league. But we aren't the only club who thinks this way, every club does (or do I need to say "franchise"). Chicago Fire may as well think about us this way. We are all unknown to eachother and we both don't know what to expect from eachother. The chances are 50/50 for all of us.
At last I want to say that I hope NYCFC gets some silver. I don't care what kind of silver: US Open Cup; Eastern Conference championship or MLS championship. It's all good to me, but this team is too good to have an empty trophy cabinet.
What do you think? Is NYCFC ready for the season? We'll find out in one week.

We explore… Attractive Acle
The town itself features everything you'd expect from a quaint Norfolk settlement, including a lush village green, traditional shops, and opportunities to stroll along the river. Read on to learn more…
Acle's past
Acle has a vast and varied past to be researched and explored during your stay. For example, during Roman times the town was regarded as an important port, used for transporting goods. Once its purpose as a port dwindled, it was still an exciting centre for trade and markets. The name Acle translates as "a clearing in an oak forest", although much of that forest was felled during Tudor times in order to build warships.
Acle Farmers Market
A traditional market town that still maintains all of the character of its past, Acle still holds a weekly market and a monthly farmers' market, which is held in the church hall. If you're on the lookout for fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and fish, and locally made produce such as jam, marmalade, bread, cheese, and home-brewed beer, you've come to the right place. Imagine the feast you could have back at your self-catering cottage after a visit to the market.
Acle Bridge
Although the bridge has been replaced a number of times, with its most recent incarnation in 1997, Acle Bridge still maintains its title of being the only crossing point across the River Bure between Wroxham and Great Yarmouth. The bridge is also the setting for a grizzly ghost story, involving murder and revenge. Research it more if you dare…
We have one property located in Acle, and it's a beautiful one. Please do check out our other properties, which are dotted around the gorgeous county of Norfolk.

Hi all,
Today, we are coming back to Adelaide (I am currently writing this in the QANTAS lounge!), from Melbourne.
I had a fantastic time at the Beatles In Australia exhibit, but it was slightly different to it's Sydney equivalent. I was disappointed to see that John's suit had not made an appearance (it must have been sent back to the V&A, where it is kept), and that the gift shop was fairly limited (I did, however, purchase an Anthology 2 disc!) but it was still fabulous! It's quite ironic, really, that John, Paul, George and Ringo can still create the same euphoria that they did all those years ago, isn't it? Look out, future children/godchildren/nieces/nephews – prepared to be brainwashed with the Fab Four! Sadly, photography was prohibited within the exhibition (probably because of Apple Corps.' strict copyright laws), but here is the link to the accompanying website, plus a sneaky shot of me out the front!
The exhibition (in Melbourne) included sights such as a drumhead signed by Ringo, a block of stone from the urinal at The Cavern, a jukebox stacked with all the singles released by The Fabs before June '64 (when they came), a projection of 'The Beatles Sing For Shell' (a TV broadcast of one of their Melbourne concerts from '64) and one of John's famous Lennon caps that he had actually worn (!). If you're in Melbourne before July 1st, go and check it out – it's a must-see for every Beatlemaniac!
Despite the fact Beatles merchandise within the exhibition was limited, I managed to find a stall in the Queen Victoria Markets which was selling band t-shirts – I found one with an incredibly-attractive picture of John and Paul repeated film-style over a black background. I also found an official Beatles postcard in a vintage clothing shop (in which I also bought a gorgeous 1960s orange shift-dress, that fits perfectly!). My latest editions to my collection of Beatle-y things are pictured below.
When The Beatles Drove Us Wild is on tonight (as you probably already know) – apparently, it scans everything from the concerts to their effect on society, from the famous campaign to bring them to Adelaide (thanks, Bob Francis!) to groupies, and according to The Advertiser, John says something "that will pierce your heart" at the end (what are you going to say, Johnny?). Make sure you tune in!
Also, it's my Dad's birthday (da da da da da da, da da) today – if you're reading this, Dad, happy birthday; hope you had a great day!
So anyway, have a great rest of your Tuesday (I'm missing a day of school – how fun!), and enjoy my Beatles picture of the week! Bye for now.

Agrifly: drones for crops
AgriFly uses drones to measure the biomass of crops, making it easy to see which crops are growing faster than others. Farmers can use this data to see whether their crops receive too little fertilizer, or too much. The startup is one of the first lucky few to start experimenting with the new 5G mobile network in this year, and in fact is the first Dutch company using 5G for drones.
Agrifly was founded just a little over a year ago by Peter Hooghuis and Wilco Stollenga. In May last year, they received the Audience Choice Award of the Anner Awards for student entrepreneurs. Their autonomous drones are fitted with special cameras that measure the biomass of crops, making it easy to see which crops are growing faster than others. Farmers can use this data to see whether their crops receive too little fertilizer, or too much.
Both founders have their own area of expertise; Peter knows all the ins and outs of IT and drone technology and Wilco is the son of a farmer and business student at the Hanze University.
5G Fieldlab
5Groningen, an initiative by the Economic Board Groningen, will transform the northern part of the province into a testing ground for innovation. Starting this year, entrepreneurs, 5G experts, students and other talent, will start testing new and innovative applications for the lightning fast mobile network.
Wilco was already involved in the 5G project when he started Agrifly: "I'm also involved in the initiative to bring fiber optic Internet to the northern part of the province and that's how I came into contact with the Groningen Economic Board. They invited me to join the 5G project and the idea for Agrifly was also a perfect fit for the project, since agriculture is one of the five focus areas."
Using the lightning fast new network will make things a lot easier for Agrifly, because the drones collect a whopping 20 gigabytes of data in a single flight. Using the old network, it would take about 10 hours to process all of that information, but using the 5G network, all of the processing can be done during the flight. The scan will be complete the moment the drone has landed. "It saves us a lot of hours, but also means we can have more flights per day, which means our prices can go down too", Wilco adds.
Soil and biomass
The type of soil and the fertility on a single acre of land can vary greatly . "I grew up on a farm and still live there, so I know a lot about crops and agriculture. But what's really interesting, is when you fly over crops and get a bird's eye view, it really gives you a whole different perspective, because there are all these subtle differences in color", Wilco explains. "And these differences in color actually tell you how well a crop is doing."
The drones are fitted with cameras that can accurately measure the biomass and density of crops. "We use high precision cameras now, but the first one we used was actually a consumer camera that we hacked and turned into an infrared camera."
Based on the data, Agrifly maps out which crops are doing well, and which could be doing better. "The crop yield depends on a lot of factors", Wilco explains. "But by mapping out how well crops are doing, we can sit down with farmers, look at possible causes and come up with a solid plan. So using drones is only half of the service we provide, and giving advice is the other part."
That way, farmers will not only save money on fertilization, but Wilco estimates the total yield can be 10% to 20% better. "Once we show the data and maps, farmers are very enthusiastic. But of course they're also interested in hard data and figures and practical results. Last year was our first season, so this coming harvest season we should be able to see more exact results of our advice and help. That will give us a lot more leverage and proof of concept, so more and more farmers will get on board."

The Ancient Ozarks Natural History Museum at Top of the Rock is a 35,000-square-foot treasure trove of American Indian artifacts and art, dioramas showcasing massive creatures who roamed the land before humans, and an impressive collection of Civil War relics.
Before you actually get into the museum, you're welcomed to the property by a massive wooly mammoth that stands just inside the entrance. It's an awe-inspiring greeting to be sure.
When you first enter the museum, you dive right into American Indian culture, courtesy of an amazing collection of arrowheads — cases and cases of them. Even if you're not a collector, you'll be impressed by the size and scope of all that's before you.
And then come the animals. And they don't disappoint.
The Terror Bird resembles an ostrich, only much scarier. Like, you wish it would put its head in the sand, scary. In real life, the Terror Bird (or Titanis walleri if you're so inclined) stood more than eight feet tall, tipped the scales at 300 pounds and used its heavy beak to take down prey.
The Terror Bird's exhibition neighbors — The Hell Pig, Bear Dog and North American Jaguar — are equally as impressive.
One of the final focuses of the museum is the Civil War. Cannons, rifles, sidearms and sabers are on display, as are flags, uniforms and paintings of historic figures, including President Abraham Lincoln.
One of the most surprising items inside the museum is also one of the smallest. It's a small locket containing a strand of hair.
That hair belonged to Lincoln. The story behind the lock of hair is nearly as surprising as its appearance in the museum. But that's one tale you'll have to visit to read more about.
Check out the Ancient Ozarks Natural History Museum the next time you're at Top of the Rock — or make a special trip. It's a wow-worthy experience.

Ever have those times where your stomach was feeling a little off ? Lately we've been taking up a many thousand year old tradition of making a simple tea – using a plant that has been used by Yogis, and in ancient Indian Ayurvedic traditions – to combat many ailments including indigestion.. Drinking fresh mint tea. No complex ingredients that you can't pronounce here. The recipe is as simple as it gets – boiled water and a handful of fresh mint leaves.
Tired of that gassy, bloated feeling after you eat and have to succumb to opening the button on your pants? Ya – we know. Well read on to see how you can "de-bloat" and feel your best, ASAP.
Mint leaves are natural aromatic decongestants which helps to clear up your sinuses, relieving nausea and headaches also. Certain to be in high demand with these nasty flu / cold bugs going around.
Antioxidants have been a big buzz for the last few years and drinking an easy to make cup of this tea will give you a huge antioxidant boost as it has one of the highest antioxidant levels of any food!
The big one for us is that this tea helps promotes digestion, "de-bloats" and helps sooth the stomach in cases of indigestion or inflammation. That uncomfortable and sometimes painful feeling that can sometimes last hours, can be quickly gone and relieved with one cup.
Need help sleeping? Drink a cup before bed and you will feel relaxed and ready to catch lots of zzzz's; as being a natural stimulant – it can help in sleeping and with depression. It is also anti – pruritic so it helps clear up acne, pimples and infections.
Lastly, grab yourself a cup mid day to help you stay alert while working and to help retain things you need to remember!
Have we convinced you yet? Beyond just having minty fresh breath – mint tea is a simple pleasure with many healthful properties. So go ahead – enjoy this aromatically pleasing & relaxing natural tea, while drinking up a whole bunch of side benefits, too!
Namaste. My muse and I.

Introducing the Tudor Black Bay Ceramic One for Only Watch
Listings for the biennial Only Watch auction are out, and in addition to mega watches from the likes of Patek Philippe and F.P. Journe, the comparatively accesible Tudor is once again participating with a unique Black Bay. Only Watch, over the course of 7 prior auctions, has raised over 40 million Swiss Francs to benefit muscular dystrophy research. Let?s take a closer look at the Black Bay Ceramic One.
Tudor Black Bay Ceramic One for Only Watch
Case Material: Ceramic
Dial: Black
Dimensions: 41mm
Crystal: Sapphire
Water Resistance: 200 meters
Crown: Screw down
Movement: Tudor Manufacture Calibre MT5602
Strap/bracelet: Hybrid black alligator leather and rubber strap
Price: N/A
Expected Release: N/A
Tudor comes to Only Watch 2019 with a first for the brand ? a Black Bay in full ceramic. Not only that, but it?s fully, and I mean fully, blacked out. The case is the familiar Black Bay shape, but in a sleek, bead-blasted black ceramic. The dial, hands, and hour markers are black as well. Contrast for legibility, it would seem, is provided by a gloss finish to the lume-filled indices, but let?s face it: if you?re a serious bidder for this watch, legibility might not be your primary concern.
Taken together, the presentation is ultra modern and unlike any Black Bay we?ve seen before, although it could well be considered a cousin of the Black Bay Dark, introduced in 2016. Still, that was a PVD-treated steel case with bright-white hour markers and hands. It even had a touch of red text on the dial. The Black Bay Ceramic One is a whole other kettle of fish. One of the nicest design touches on the watch is the open caseback, something we just don?t see much of in Tudor?s tool watch lineup. It shows off the in-house MT5602 caliber nicely, which now, of course, features a black ceramic (and skeletonized) winding rotor.
While the Only Watch one-offs are very often just that, it?s worth observing that, on occasion, a unique piece making its debut at this auction serves as a springboard to a regular production model somewhere down the line. The use of ceramic as the primary case material by Tudor in this Black Bay certainly gets the mind working to dream up what they might have in store for consumers a year or two down the road.
The Black Bay Ceramic One is listed with an estimate of $4,500-$5,500. If you?re thinking of bidding and sniping a bargain, recall that the Tudor Black Bay One, the brand?s 2015 debut entry in the Only Watch auction, hammered at 375,000 Swiss Francs, about 120 times its original estimate.
The Only Watch auction will be held in Geneva on November 9. You can view all of this year?s unique pieces at the Only Watch website, right here.

Poetry Out Loud
Jeanann Verlee [aud] and-or
Jeanann Verlee [aud] untruth
Jeanann Verlee [aud] Brooklyn's coming.
Debuted on IndieFeed.
Brooklyn's coming.
an open letter to Sarah Palin
On October 17, 2008 at a fundraiser in Greensboro, NC, Sarah Palin stated that small towns are "the real America."
Dear Sarah:
There is a girl on the loose side of Brooklyn who wears tap shoes, prays for rain, and keeps an origami zoo on her ceiling.
(This is no metaphor. I know her.)
She likes wine, but won't drink it. She lurches and stops, reverses,
lurches again. She is a windup toy hitting walls, bouncing back,
restarting, churning and churning, ever forward.
(This is a metaphor. She is not, actually, a toy, Sarah.)
This girl has gold where her heart used to be. She is damage dressed in
Gap and you would call her jezebel. She is expert in cute and quirk but
this girl is gravel tested, pulp vein and chipped tooth, she is America.
You, Sarah, use cute and quirk like grenades.
You use your children like cheerleaders' pompoms
and your husband like some polished gold badge.
There is a single mother on the cut-knee side of Brooklyn who wears her daughter like a smile, works sixteen-hour days and uses the bitter on her tongue like a bulletproof vest. She paid overtime cash for her daughter's braces, had to hold a fundraiser to pay for her own surgery. She likes Starbucks and soul food.
I know her, too, Sarah.
I know the woman in the window who wears good leather and keeps
her closet filled with broken men. A girl with pomegranate-apple salad
who tongue-kisses girls, writes in code and speaks the language of
canary. I even know a woman with a peacock-plumed tiara and nearly
five children who keeps libraries behind her eyes and children's stories
under her skin. She uses lead canisters in fist fights and has hearts for
(This is almost a metaphor.)
Don't you see it, Sarah? Like your small town "real," Brooklyn, too, is
And her belly is full. She is fat on jezebel: women with eight children
and women with none. Women who have sent their children to war,
buried them in flags. Women beaten so badly they no longer speak
words. Women who love women. Women who educate. Women who
have never owned a designer bag and buy their clothes at 99 cent
discount stores. Women who have aborted and women who have |
adopted. Women who inject heroin and women who raise other
women's children. Women who only buy organic orange juice.
This is Brooklyn. This is America.
So be careful. Because we have grown tired of your winks and your
instant clichés, bored with your Charles and Katie blunders, with your
shotguns and your oil fields, with your unpaid rape kits and your
banned books. So while you inject Botox into the lips of pit bulls, pull
your hair into its neat little bun, slip on your smart glasses and turn
back the clock for women's rights, remember us.
Careful, Sarah, Brooklyn's coming.

Rachel McKibbens
Spoken word sings
Ex-punk rock chola
brings life to the party
As her web site says, "Poet Rachel McKibbens is an ex-punk rock chola with five children. Known for her astonishingly visceral stage presence and devotion to craft, McKibbens has become one of the most respected poets in the spoken word community. She is the 2009 Women of the World poetry slam champion, is an eight-time National Poetry Slam team member, a three-time NPS finalist, and a 2007 New York Foundation for the Arts poetry fellow and Pushcart nominee."
Out Loud editor Molly Kat asked Rachel if we could feature some of her work, and she kindly obliged. We trust you'll find her poetry and her voice both charming and disarming.
In the kingdom of pointing fingers
Head Above Water
Everything reminded you of what happened.
There were paintings of it hung
in the museums you frequented.
Each new canvas was the same
horrible event, only a minute later,
until finally, the last frame –
your bed, covered in flies.
It followed you home after wild nights out,
shadowed your stagger, wiped the spit from your chin.
Your friends couldn't look you in the eye any more.
They complained about it frequently:
It's always staring at me, not saying anything.
And why does it have so many teeth?
You did your best to go on with your life.
After it tore your car apart
you rode a bicycle to work.
When it started eating children,
you stayed indoors.
When the people of your town
circled your house with torches, you left quietly.
Within a week after your departure, the town
returned to its slick comforts.
Eleven years have gone by. Only a handful of people
remember what you look like. When your mother
cried out for you in her deathbed,
she called the wrong name.
The local fishermen recount slurred tales of your sightings.
They say you built a giant raft, that the two of you
are floating hundreds of miles out to sea,
where undiscovered creatures of the deep
wallow in the freedom of their namelessness.
Where the girl, somewhere small inside you,
can finally get some sleep.
Across the Street from the Whitmore Home for Girls, 1949
The Mad Girls climb the wet hill,
breathe the sharp air through sick-green lungs.
The Wildest One wanders off like an old cow
and finds a steaming breast inside a footprint in the snow.
She slips it into her glove, holds it close like a darling.
At night, she suckles the lavender tit, still warm
in her hard little hands. She drapes it over her heart–
the closest she will ever come to a Woman Thing.
The girl sleeps on her right side with the breast
tucked between her legs. Her eyes flutter like a rocked doll.
She dreams of Before the Father, when her body
was smooth as a crab, her fingers
tip-toe soft. Outside her bedroom, the Lonesome Boys
hid in trees to watch The Father lift her gown.
Before It Happened, her mouth was a shining crown,
her hair moved like a hungry dog.
In the morning, the girl is who she is again.
Her hair, a soft black brick, her body held together
by hammers. The breast is shriveled up. Gone cold
in her lap. A death-blue fish with one stone eye.
Reading All the Ads in the Back of Magazines
You fold two loads of laundry.
Your hands, once split by heat,
are now calloused, invincible.
You sit at your kitchen table,
masturbate next to a half-eaten bowl of cereal-
swollen clouds floating in pink sugar milk.
You stand in your living room
turn off the television, glare at the
reflection of your thickened hips,
wipe your hand across the screen
tearing through static.
A garbage truck roars outside your window.
You watch the barrels spit out the unwanted-
exhausted light bulbs and soggy cabbage,
a doll's torso bruised by crayons.
You press your hand against the glass, shock
at how the morning's cold presses back,
how even calluses do not deny
this pointed chill.
It is in this moment that you see yourself.
First, spot your left arm, pale blue stiff
and reaching. It tumbles with empty milk cartons
and a dead hamster zipped in plastic.
You see your heart waddle
like a damaged plum as it drops against
your breasts now sticky with syrup.
You watch your blood crumble and fall
like day-old rice, your face,
thin and jagged, slides from
the barrel like an oiled mask.
You turn away, once you recognize
the sound of your legs slamming
against the truck like twin corpses.
This is when you realize –
you should have kept his number,
should have stayed after he kissed you
so hard it split your lip
when he chewed your nipple through
your sweater and you nearly fainted
by the shock white charge of it,
when he ripped your stockings
grabbing your thighs, when you felt
his fingers move inside you
as if searching a coat pocket.
This is why the price tag still swings
from your wedding dress, why you cannot
fuck your husband with eyes open,
why you dunk your child's head too long
while rinsing his hair.
This is why permanence terrifies,
why your spine threatens to tear out
and run, why you do not own pets
but keep cages
this is how you haunt your own house,
why your hands coil in hunger
and why the sound of screaming tires
burning away in the night
is the only song
that ever puts you to sleep.

An allegory of the omnipotent state, the Leviathan occurs in Lidia Ginzburg's notes from 1943-44 and in the context of her reflections on the experiences of surviving in, and living on after, the unprecedented human catastrophe of the siege of Leningrad. Ginzburg describes her time as the "era of great experiences and tests" which started in 1914: the era of world wars with their "maximum non-freedom" and the "absolute non-freedoms" imposed by the all-powerful state, the Leviathan. The siege of Leningrad is not an exception from such a history, but a culmination of the "non-freedoms" of Soviet and, more broadly, European modernity of the twentieth century. All of these events/experiences produced a generation that "became history's experimental material. And history burned it and disemboweled it and minced it into a bloody mess." In the siege of Leningrad, various dimensions of "non-freedom"— total mobilization and total war, state terror, and mass death – culminate, converge, and confirm one another. In the struggle for survival amidst destruction, repression, and starvation, Ginzburg tries to understand the Leviathan, the omnipotent state that sanctions and orchestrates the massive obliteration of life. The new Leviathan emerges as a complex aggregate of different power technologies involving various aspects of life and, hence, producing different overlapping regimes of "non-freedoms."
According to Ginzburg, the subject is involved in the workings of the Leviathan in many ways. Moreover, as exemplified by the experience of the civilian in the siege, the individual depends on the Leviathan for elementary survival. This political and biopolitical complexity makes Ginzburg's critique more challenging than the trivial understanding of "non-freedom" as a mere deprivation of rights. Matters of life and death in the siege, as Ginzburg's witness account shows, are deeply politicized, and the power to administer and distribute life and death constitute the foundation of the New Leviathan's omnipotence. The New Leviathan's three vectors of power – repression, discipline, and biopower — each in their own way contribute to the destruction of the human and usher a new, post-human historical subject summed up in the figure of distrofik (a patient of starvation disease in the terminal stage) overpowered by the total indifference between life and death, between living and surviving. I propose to look at the strategies and politics involved in such a subjectivity, with a special emphasis on the "choreography" of besiegement: its spatio-temporal structure, its corporeality, and strategies of surviving its post-human condition, as well as the dilemmas of living on "ever after".
Invited lecture at Weaving Politics: International interdisciplinary symposium on choreography, violence and human rights

AOL Canada and the Huffington Post Media Group announce regional expansion
May 08, 2012, 07:17 ET
TORONTO, May 8, 2012 /CNW/ - Weeks away from celebrating the one-year anniversary of the Huffington Post Canada, AOL Canada and the Huffington Post Media Group (HPMG) announce today a regional expansion that will include HuffPost British Columbia and HuffPost Alberta. The sites will feature HuffPost's signature mix of news, blogging, community, and social engagement, to capture the unique cultures of both provinces, with regional editorial teams leveraging the power of the HuffPost platform to deliver the most important and most entertaining local stories.
"HuffPost Canada was our first international edition and has always had a special place in the HuffPost family," said Arianna Huffington, president and editor-in-chief of HPMG. "And I'm delighted that we'll be welcoming even more voices to the conversation by expanding to British Columbia and Alberta, just as we expanded to Quebec in February. Since we're already in a celebratory mood with HuffPost Canada approaching its first birthday, there's no better time to enlarge the discussion with the unique perspectives of these vibrant provinces."
HuffPost British Columbia and HuffPost Alberta will bring HuffPost's blogging platform to the Western Canadian media market, not only connecting readers with the news they most care about, but inviting them to tell their own stories. Together with the journalistic experience and local expertise of HuffPost's editorial teams, these stories, told in the voices of those who live and work in British Columbia and Alberta, will reflect the provinces' vital issues across a range of subjects, from politics and lifestyle to business and sports.
"More than one third of all Canadian traffic to Huffington Post sites is from Western Canada, so regional expansion is a natural progression," said Graham Moysey, general manager, AOL Canada. "The site has seen tremendous success since its launch in May 2011; monthly unique visitors to Huffington Post sites have increased 80 per cent to 2.8 M UVs."
The strong social DNA, vital to the HuffPost model, will extend to connect with the social communities of B.C. and Alberta. The Huffington Post Canada currently generates more than 2 million social actions a month through its commenting and sharing platforms and its social media channels including facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest.*
HuffPost B.C. and HuffPost Alberta are scheduled to launch in Fall 2012.

license=('GPL' 'GPL3')
(namcap told me
distrho-lv2-git E: GPL GPL3 is not a common license (it's not in /usr/share/licenses/common/)
which makes total sense :D )
sekret commented on 2016-02-07 22:34
Ok, I just looked again and you are right, GPL means GPL2 in Archlinux.
$ ls -l /usr/share/licenses/common/GPL
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 29.06.2014 19:32 /usr/share/licenses/common/GPL -> GPL2/
My mistake! ;-)
daniel.appelt commented on 2016-02-07 22:29
Thanks again, sekret! An update is on the way.
Regarding the licensing, I am not convinced though. If I was to create separate packages for say Obxd and Klangfalter, the first one would have GPL as a license while the latter one would have GPL3. So, stating everything is licensed under "GPLv2 or any later version" is technically not correct as this does not apply to Klangfalter.
sekret commented on 2016-02-05 20:54
Hey, please add ladspa to the makedepends line! ladspa.h is required in the build process :)
Also, license=('GPL GPL3') doesn't make sense, because in Archlinux GPL _means_ GPL3. So please just use license=('GPL') :)
daniel.appelt commented on 2016-01-17 16:16
Thanks for pointing it out, sekret! It's fixed now.

Trading revolutionised by the internet
Although the world wide web in it's most primitive form was conceived in '69, it wasn't until 1995 that Windows popularised the idea of home internet with the launch of Windows 95 at which point we saw sites like Amazon and Yahoo! pop up.
At this point the instant access to markets really started to empower average Joe by allowing all those connected to share information and get access to real-time financial news.
That said, resources was still pretty far and few, opening a broker account was a process in itself and getting started certainly required a descent amount of knowledge.
Birth of social networking
Although sites like GeoCities and SixDegrees are heralded as the the fist social networking sites, it was really only in 2002 when Friendster grew to 3,000,000 members in 3 months when our modern notion of social networking was born.
We quickly saw sites like LinkedIn and MySpace follow suite and then in 2006 we saw the real game-changer when Facebook opened to the general public after enjoying huge success as a Harvard-only network.
Social networking was now becoming a very familiar concept and people were sharing everything and anything, including financial tips and strategies which is why 2006 also saw the first social trading network, Zecco.com.
Zecco.com did not have any of the features, like copy trading, that make social trading today, but it was the first dedicated trading community where users could focus solely on sharing and developing their knowledge of the financial markets.
This new concept of trading very quickly became popular and in 2007 we saw the likes of ZuluTrade and eToro, although still in it's questionable early gameified form. This was all very quickly followed by the likes of many popular social trading networks like Currencee, Myfxbook, Tradeo, Ayondo and many more.
Social trading now allowed investors to not only share and discuss, but simply copy trades from other traders. An effortless task that allows anyone to dabble in the markets and learn from more experienced traders. The massive growth of social trading networks in the late 2000's was also boosted by the growth of mobile technology, meaning that users was no longer tied to their desks monitoring open trades, but could stay informed whenever and wherever.
Effects on the markets
An interesting idea around social trading is that a successful strategy will eventually lead to too much volume being traded ( too many traders copying it's trades), and will ultimately lead to it's own downfall as this could create spikes in supply/demand.
Whether this happens depends of course on a number of factors and one would think that in high volume markets such as Forex, this would be much less likely.
A 2013 study by MIT, concluded that investors copying or being involved in isolated social circles or simply copying 1 or 2 traders, performed significantly worse than those that diversified both their connections and the number of traders they copy.
Either way, despite their massive growth, social trading networks are still in their infancy and this will be a very interesting development over the next few years as millions more traders & investors join social trading networks.
Future of social trading networks
Social trading networks are constantly innovating and despite all the new features we've seen in the past year or 2, it's still early days. Whilst originally the vast majority of social trading networks was restricted to trading Forex, a number of them have now introduced stocks, commodities and indices. ZuluTrade has even gone as far as introducing Binary options to social trading!
As the MIT study suggests, we'll certainly see the future of social trading become a much more sophisticated industry with investors diversifying across multiple networks and possibly even the introduction of tools to manage such diversification.
