I haven't exercised in years--Why should I start now?
Even if you've never been active, it's never too late to reap the many health benefits of regular exercise. Regular cardiovascular exercise, such as brisk walking, bicycling or swimming strengthens the heart and muscles, boosts energy and endurance. It also helps control blood sugar and cholesterol levels and works as a natural mood elevator.
Being sedentary raises the risk for developing such serious health conditions as diabetes and heart disease.
Strength exercise, or resistance training, helps preserve muscle tissue and bone health. It will help you stay strong, so you can go about your normal daily activities.
I have several medical conditions--Is exercise safe for me?
Consult with your health care provider before starting an exercise program. Ask about precautions specific to your condition and which exercises are beneficial and safe for you. Regular exercise helps manage health conditions and can speed up the recovery process of serious illnesses, including heart attack, stroke and joint-replacement surgery. Your doctor may recommend that you start exercising in a medically-supervised setting before you exercise on your own.
Which exercises are easy on your joints?
Water exercises (swimming, water walking) or non weight-bearing exercises (Bicycling, rowing, elliptical machines) are easier on the joints and often recommended for people with joint issues. However, your health care provider may recommend some weight-bearing exercises (walking, jogging) to protect and strengthen your bones.
How much exercise is enough?
Start with 5 minutes or whatever you can manage, then gradually work up to 30 minutes a day of cardiovascular exercise most days of the week. You should notice a difference in how you feel within 6-8 weeks. Perform muscle-strengthening exercises twice weekly with at least 24 hours in between sessions.
To get started, hire a certified personal trainer, attend group strength-training classes, visit your library to check out a strength-training DVD and visit the Ace Exercise Library.
I'm not overweight--Do I really need to exercise?
Even if your weight is in a healthy range, regular exercise is key for maintaining good health and to reduce health risks. One study showed that physically fit overweight people had significantly lower health risks than thin, sedentary people. An inactive lifestyle raises your risk for developing serious health conditions, including metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and heart disease.
I'm a Senior. Is strength training good at my age?
Strength-training is critical for older adults. Adults lose 4-6 lbs. of muscle tissue per decade, which means a significant loss of body strength and a lower resting metabolism.
Older adults who undergo a structured strength-training program have shown to regain lost muscle mass, increase their strength, metabolism, bone density and balance and improve their quality of life. One study linked muscular strength to reduced stiffness in the aorta, the major artery carrying blood from the heart to the rest of the body, which can reduce the risk of death from cardiovascular events, independent of current aerobic fitness levels. However, if calorie intake isn't also reduced, fat weight increases.

I think there's some good content, good tips in there - so thanks for sharing of course.
One not so nice thing is the choice of fonts in the graphic elements for all the Uservision on and off views - they are amateur and horrible looking - makes it hard to get through looking at those elements.
Do it like this, OP: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vThw5_VvltY/UWFTbY5iYsI/AAAAAAAALME/bNxvwPo80c8/s1600/Jeremy-Clarkson.gif
Good content, and good distro policy. I am sending this to my COO as a discussion starter. Good job referencing the web of resources out there, as well. Please give your team two thumbs up from me!

sample the album:
"The pianist Christine Wodrascka and the percussionist Jerome Lacoste, in forty-eight minutes and thirteen pieces of remarkably well-constructed works, offer a whole panorama of sounds, articulations, vibrations, timbres, crazy pulsations ... The piano is carefully prepared, filled with objects And hammered beyond the reasonable, its timbres and resonances entangled in the percussive proliferation. After the furious obstinato of the second piece, Shaolin Si, comes the hovering sounds of the cymbals with the bow and the ethereal vibration of a great gong supendu supplemented by the deep rumble of the depths of the great piano. Total symbiosis worthy of the best AMM! The fourth movement, Hokusai, is intended to be mobile, volatile with the keyboard and sharpened with metallic percussions, punctuated by a big drunk and thundering drum. The gestures of the instrumentalists shake literally and make the objects that clutter the piano and the drums resound. The number five, La Pierre Jaune, solicits the violent scraping of the cordiers of the carcass and the expressive and moving sawing of a twisted cymbal resonating on a skin. From a sound point of view, one is thoroughly free music that does not hesitate to put forward the unusual sound possibilities with a real expressive force as did Paul Lytton and Paul Lovens three or four decades ago . What is fortunate is that their duo owes nothing to anyone. They chose to distinguish the sound atmosphere and the musical content for each of the pieces, which are all really successful. Focused on the richness of sounds rather than the articulation of phrases, arpeggios and bearings. We hear voices haunting the frictions of percussion and the creaking of the strings. In the very short 7, Erichtho, it is a delirious harp which asserts itself produced on the strings of the piano. And the next piece brings something new again. Divergent instrumental ensembles are combined and combined with each other, creating a surprise. Inthe end, Erythro is a wonderful album and among the most interesting for the pleasure of listening and discovery. Excellent from start to finish."-Jean-Michel van Schouwburg, Orynx (translated with Google Translate)

< Day 7 | Day 9 >
Day 8: A Song You Liked When You Were Younger
The song I liked when I was younger is Itooshi Hito no Tame ni (いとおしい人のために) by Satou Akemi (佐藤 朱美), which is the opening theme song of the reverse harem fantasy series Fushigi Yuugi (ふしぎ遊戯).
Uploaded by: BJac2014
I remember watching Fushigi Yuugi as a small girl, and I now suspect that it was one of the great corruptors of my childhood innocence. I can't believe my parents let me watch this series! Not that I'm complaining now. I'm thankful that I get to watch this classic shoujo anime as a kid.
Whenever I hear the first strings of Itooshi Hito no Tame ni back when I was a kid, I instantly ran to the TV and forbade anyone who dare change the channel. They usually ended up watching the anime with me. I also remember that whenever there was a mature scene (like Tamahome & Miaka doing it, you know), my parents would just cover my eyes until the scene was over. No harm done. I could still clearly hear what was happening, and sometimes their hands weren't covering my eyes well that I could still peek through between their fingers. That was as far as their censorship went. Now before you accuse my family of poor parenting, I would like to say that I grew up an awesome and mature human being (wink, wink), so basically that gives you no right or whatsoever to judge their parenting style.
Moving on, Itooshi Hito no Tame ni will always have a special place in my heart. As a kid, I didn't really understand the lyrics of the song, but I understood and marvelled at its ethereal quality even at that time. Now that I'm an adult, I still think that it's a beautiful song. It never fails to make me nostalgic whenever I hear it. Sometimes when my body & mind are both relaxed, and I'm in a quiet place; I get goosebumps listening to this song.
Now you know that Itooshi Hito no Tame ni by Satou Akemi is the song I liked (well, I still like it now) when I was younger. What's yours?

Teacher Pension Shenanigans

Obama seems to be transitioning from the left's newest dream boat to a standard issue politician albeit of a somewhat uncommon skin shade and younger then most.
It's comforting that despite the surface differences there's an underlying commonality.
- Mr. W said...
I have to say at least everyone knows how shady Hillary is. The dems are thinking they are putting this savior on the ticket and ever so slightly his past is coming out...and it isn't so pretty.
As a Republican...I am enjoying this so much, it's laughable. If McCain wins, the Democratic party should fold and start over as something else.

Welcome to our new website.
We are still developing this, so please bear with us, whilst we update and add things over the next few days/weeks..... :-)
Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any queries, or observations - or even suggestions to make our website a better experience!
As the name suggests, Bikers Retreat is all about bikes. Whether it's motorcycles or bicycles, you will find that we are ideally placed to enjoy two wheels in one of the best locations the UK has to offer.
For the motorcyclist, there is everything you want, from open sweeping roads across virtually traffic-free moorland to narrow single track roads over high passes. With stunning scenery around nearly every bend, it really is one of the best places to ride a motorcycle in the UK. Both Nigel and Tiv have been riding bikes for more years than we care to remember. They have maps available and can advise on the best roads and stops to make your day the best it can be. Alternatively, you could join us on our guided rides which take in the best the area has to offer. All you have to do is concentrate on the ride.
For the cyclist, we have the best of the road world and the mountain bike world. With Coed Y Brenin, the premier dedicated mountain bike centre in Wales, if not the UK, on the doorstep and other trail centres (including Antur Stiniog) within easy reach, there is something for every cyclist. Graded trails in abundance and some stunning cross country rides are what make the area a mecca for the mountain bike enthusiast.
For the roadies, we have the highest unclassified road in Wales, the fearsome climb of the Bwlch y Groes, just around the corner. The road across Arenig Fawr, part of the Cambrian Big Dog sportive, will test your legs or try some undulating but testing rides to challenge your legs. Whichever your choice of bike, you can be sure that there is a warm welcome waiting and your bikes will be looked after.
We have secure storage and comprehensive toolkits for those little repairs that need doing, a recovery service if you have a problem whilst you are here and laundry and drying facilities, should you need them, are all part of the service. We have a small but well-stocked bar and can provide hearty evening meals. Have a good night's sleep and then go do it all again the following day. Bikes are our passion and we enjoy sharing that passion with all our guests.

In January 2011, I held up three positive pregnancy tests. Three days later; I was in hospital with excessive bleeding & abdominal pain.
I was around five weeks pregnant when I found out through home pregnancy tests. We shared the news with family, friends, and social media. We were excited. We were going to become parents.
I didn't think about the fact that we were dating for barely a year. We weren't ready to welcome a baby into our lives yet. We were barely supporting ourselves, how were we going to support another person?
I didn't realize what responsibility had just fallen into my lap & I didn't bother thinking it through. I was going to have a baby. My own, my blood, & I was going to be a mother at 20.
When I first noticed the spotting, I didn't give it much thought. I knew from stories that friends told me that it was normal for it to happen. The next day there was red everywhere & it didn't stop. We couldn't afford to go to the hospital. I had no choice but work through it & hope for the best.
When the cramps started, I couldn't move. I was literally sitting on the loo, my head resting on my knees with no way to sit up, & crying. Sobbing. There was no control.
There were two reasons for the tears leaving my eyes; I was in agony & I knew that I was losing the foetus. I didn't need to do research to know the obvious. I had heard stories; I had read the posters on the clinic walls.
We finally made a plan to get to a hospital. After two sets of blood tests, the (student) doctor told us that I was nor miscarrying nor pregnancy; sort of in middle state. I wasn't fooled; the pain, the blood. I knew what was happening & I knew there was no turning back or saving.
I was given pregnancy hormones to help save the pregnancy but it backfired & there was more blood & more pain following. Eventually, the same answer was given; I'm in the middle still. They sent me home with painkillers.
I hardly slept that night. I lay in the bath after a while; washing away the blood & having the warm water ease the pain. The next day; heavily sleep deprived I tried to carry on with the day, doing everything to distract myself. To no avail, I was back in the hospital that evening.
Blood tests, urine tests; results showed that I was now officially experiencing a miscarriage. I spent three hours in ICU with different doctors checking up on me, pocking my stomach & leaving with different conclusions. There was no mutual ground between them to bring me clarity. There was no assurance that everything was going to be okay. But I didn't need a genius to tell me the obvious: I wasn't pregnant anymore.
I knew of my expectancy for five days. I was excited for a few hours. I will remember this for the rest of my life. I can't say I'm over it completely. How can you forget a moment in life where you were experiencing the start & the end of a life – inside you?
We nicknamed the baby Bean as we obviously never knew what the gender was. We knew we weren't going to afford the baby, but we weren't going to let it go because of our irresponsibilities & actions.
I don't regret falling pregnant, & I don't regret my excitement. Even though little Bean never made it, it lives forever in my heart & one day I'll meet my little one who grew its angel wings too soon.
Fly high, little one.

Change a Hard Drive's Icon
I'd like to change the icon for a hard drive on my system. I know it's possible, because one of my disks already has a different icon. I must have done it somehow, but I can't find the tip on how to do that.
There are two ways to create a drive-specific icon. The first step for both is to determine the full pathname of the file containing the icon you want, as well as the index of the icon within that file. To view the icons contained in an EXE or DLL file, right-click any shortcut that links to a file (as opposed to a system shortcut like My Computer) and choose Properties. On the Shortcut tab of the resulting dialog, click the Change Icon button. Click Browse and select the file whose icons you want to peruse. When you find the one you want, count off the icons to determine the correct index. Start in the top left corner with zero and count down each column, then to the right. For example, icon 12 in C:\ Windows\System32\Shell32.dll is a picture of a memory chip. Make a note of the full pathname of the file and the icon index, then click Cancel, and Cancel againyou don't actually want to change that shortcut's icon. The Microsoft Windows files moricons.dll and progman.exe, both found in C:\Windows\System32, also contain numerous icons.
One technique for assigning a drive-specific icon uses a file named Autorun.inf in the root directory of that drive. Launch Notepad and enter [autorun] on the first line. Enter ICON= on the second line, followed by the full pathname of the icon-holding file, a comma, and the icon index. It might look like this:
Save the file as "C:\autorun.inf" (you need the quotes to prevent Notepad from appending the .txt extension). Now restart the computer. When you open Windows Explorer, the drive should display its new icon.
The other technique involves editing the Registry. Launch RegEdit from the Start menu's Run dialog and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrenTVersion\Explorer. If a subkey named driveicons is present, open it; if not, right-click in the right-hand pane, select New | Key and name the key driveicons. Under the driveicons key, find or create a subkey named C (or the letter of the drive whose icon you want to change). And under this C key find or create a subkey named DefaultIcon. Double-click the (Default) entry in the right-hand pane and set its value to the full pathname of the icon-holding file, a comma, and the icon index. Again you'll need to restart Windows.
If one of these techniques seems not to work for you, try the other. If you apply both to the same drive, the Autorun.inf file takes precedence.

I'm sitting at my desk, looking at some mail, watching the clock and pondering what to fix for dinner. Then it hits me.
At some point, my desk, the mail, the clock and whatever it is I'll put on the plate tonight was transported by a truck. Someone hauled the logs, loaded up the van or put my milk in a tanker and then it traveled down the road until it got to me. Maybe I passed next Tuesday's breakfast or the propane that will heat my neighbor's house way too soon on my way to the office this morning. And you know, I never even noticed.
That's a compliment to the professional drivers who run alongside my car. I don't notice them. They drive safely and respectfully. So they deserve the attention that's coming their way. September 19-25 is National Truck Driver Appreciation Week.
There's another reason to high-five your local trucking pro. Between 2005 and 2009, the number of fatal crashes that involved a commercial vehicle in Missouri fell by 49 percent - almost HALF!
It happened because roads and visual elements are better designed. Rumble stripes keep cars and trucks in the driving lanes. Missouri's law enforcement folks are on the job, making sure unsafe behavior has consequences. Emergency responders react with skill, speed and care.
But a lot of credit goes to drivers and motor carrier companies. They respect the equipment they operate and feel an obligation to look out for other travelers on the road - even when other drivers don't seem to care for their own safety.
I bet I notice every truck I meet on the way home tonight. I might even wave at them all - especially the ones who deliver to my local pizza place. On busy days like this, I'm most thankful for them!

Easter In Cyberspace started in 1997 as a labor of love, and continues in the same manner. Through God's grace this site has been profiled in The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, America Online, Internet for Christians and Computing Today Magazine, among others.
We are grateful to the many people around the Web who have linked to this site. I have received encouraging e-mail from Australia and Alberta and many points in between. It's amazes me how a guy with an Internet connection and an idea can share Easter with people from around the world. With God, all things are possible!
I like bunnies as much as the next person. You probably like bunnies, too. But Lent is not a time to be confused about the reason for Easter. It's not about rabbits distributing eggs, ooh-ing and aah-ing over cute baby chicks or wearing outlandish bonnets in "easter parades."
On Easter we celebrate the historical fact that 2,000 years ago a man died, lay in a grave for three days and then got up and began walking around again, telling people that God loves them. Easter is a celebration of Jesus Christ and the realization that the events of Good Friday and Easter Sunday have meaning for us today. The tomb in Jerusalem is still empty. Jesus lives, and he'll live forever. And so can you!
Our hope is that these pages and the links you find here will make this Lent and Easter season a deeper, more meaningful time for you and your loved ones.

Over the course of the last four years one thing has been constant in certain quarters. A small slice of the fans, the squeakiest and shrillest of the media, and often the most outrageous of bloggers have called for the head of Claude Julien on a platter. From the first he's been derided as boring. He's been called too rigid. He's been lashed by the wagging tongue of various talk radio voices right left and center. He's been called "too defensive" more times than anyone can count. But let's take a look at some of those numbers.
Goals for rank: Apparently two top five years in four is a sign of being overly conservative and too defensive minded. I did not know this and thank everyone for pointing it out to me.
Shorthanded goals: In all four of Claude Juliens years the penalty killers have been tied for or higher than fifteenth in the league. Yes, that means top half at scoring when you're trying not to be scored upon. Very conservative.
Playoff appearances: Four of Four.
Points totals: 94, 116, 91, 103 = 101pt average.
Development of young players:
David Krejci has led the team in regular season scoring each of the last two years, and leads this years team in post season scoring.
Phil Kessel had a career high of 36 goals under Julien and has not equaled or exceeded that in two years time in Toronto despite getting about 30% more minutes per year.
Milan Lucic, thirty goal scorer.
Tyler Seguin, Young Stars selection,
Adam McQuaid pressbox to primetime player, was a +30 in the regular season, has peaked at over 19 minutes in the playoffs, was behind Chara and Seidenberg in total hits and blocked shots, despite only 67 games and was. Was 2nd among rookie defensemen in blocked shots and 4th among rookie defensemen in hits.
Brad Marchand, led all rookies and at one point the whole league in short handed goals, was fourth in regular season goals this season for the Bruins, and is third in goals scored in the post season.
Two Northeast division titles, a Jack Adams award for best coach. A Jennings Award for best defensive team, one Vezina trophy win for best goalie, one Norris Trophy for best defensemen, an additional nomination for each of he latter two.
His bosses:
Julien was given a contract extension in the off season, owner Charlie Jacobs recognizes how the players respect him.
So for those key smashers and tongue waggers who have spent three and a half years wanting Julien fired, how about you pick on something else, he's in a just short of invulnerable position for the next year or so.

Soheil Parsa – Director/Writer Soheil Parsa is an award-winning director, actor, writer, dramaturg, choreographer and teacher, whose professional theatre career spans thirty-five years and two continents. In his native Iran, Soheil completed studies in Theatre Performance at the University of Tehran and began a promising career as an actor and director. Arriving in Canada with his family in 1984, Soheil completed a second Bachelor of Arts in Theatre Studies at York University and then went on to establish Modern Times Stage Company as one of the most exciting theatre companies in Canada. Soheil's own work at Modern Times has been recognized with four Dora Mavor Moore Awards, a Chalmers Fellowship in 2002, and a senior artist creation grant from the Canada Council, as well as a number of international prizes and master class requests. In 2007 and 2010 he was short-listed for the Siminovitch Prize in Theatre Celebrating Directors, the highest honour in Canadian theatre. Soheil's work is based on his experience in Iran and focuses on oppression and loss of freedom, especially loss of speech.
From the Artistic Director, Soheil Parsa
As with all of Modern Times' projects over the past 25 years, we chose to create 'Forgiveness, a theatrical poem' because it is material that matters to us deeply and urgently. The idea started in 2006 when I was in Bosnia and Herzegovina with Peter Farbridge to set up a theatre project. We met a man there who told us that walking around the town he would often bump into the soldier who had killed his father during the war. When we asked him how he dealt with that he immediately said he had forgiven him.
This fascinated us. How could it be possible for him and not for others?
'Forgiveness, a theatrical poem' has been in development since 2010 and has received three workshops in Canada and Denmark. It has been a unique collaboration between writers, dancers, actors, designers, choreographers and theatre creators. We have been researching, finding material, examining and staging it in this creative process. Forgiveness is huge, endless and shapeless. It is deeply personal and immediate, as well as infinitely timeless. In the end, we hope that this production produces more questions than answers.
Creative team
• Direction: Soheil Parsa Assistant Director/dramaturg: Barbara simonsen • Choreography: Don*Gnu, dreamwalker dance • Writers: Peter Farbridge, Soheil Parsa, Barbara Simonsen • Performers: Peter Farbridge, Stavroula Logothettis, Andrea Nann, Jannik Elkaer Nielsen, Kristoffer Louis Andrup Pedersen. • Designers: Thomas Ryder Payne (Sound), Angela Thomas (Costume), Michelle Ramsay (Lighting), Lindsay Anne Black (Set)

The Quick-Shelter Door
Love the simplicity of this door, which provides an emergency shelter during an earthquake. It collapses from the center to form a reinforced tent, under which you can huddle till the shockwaves subside. This door can be any door in the house and office. And if for a moment we keep aesthetics aside, just imagine how many people it can end up benefitting. Love it!

So, one of these would be necessary for every person in the building?
I can imagine fights breaking out over who gets to use one…
The problem is in finding the stability to unhook it and pull it down whilst in an earthquake.
The real problem is finding any stability to keep the structure from buckling under falling objects. This concept does not solve the self-prescribed design problem. The first slide says "An effective emergency exit is necessary…" and instead, the concept blocks normal emergency exits with a steel tent that has no structural basis other than the statement that a triangular shape is "most resistant to heavy impacts". This idea of taking one principle of structural engineering out of context and attempting to use it as proof or validation of concept is saddening. This is not a triangle, but a V shape. If it clamps into the floor and the door frame, you can call it a triangle. Now the user must rely on the crumbling structure of the building to provide strength to the shelter. What's in the hinge that's keeping it from folding flat again? I won't go into detail on the dangers of the release latch.
If the structure is collapsing then is it not likely that the structure fixing the position of the door is moving, twisting or overturning negating its benefit. It would be likely to work on the ground floor.
This triangle only has two sides as far as I can see, so with a heavy force applied it would flatten into a single plane, as it is in its normal door use.
Also it is far from discrete. Given a risk (or cost) to benefit analysis, I'd do without.
- Pingback: A porta que salva vidas | Ponto de Apoio
The doorframe itself is stronger, holds multiple people and doesn't block the only exit.
The door itself meets all your goals… but the object you designed will flatten people and trap everyone else inside. FAIL.
good idea!!
this will cause more accidents than anything.
this will be expensive..i will rather make a very strong steel table i will just hide there "with" my family in case its really impossible to go out.

Dear Designer, go and look at a door. Now imagine it folded into an "A" frame. Now please explain how any human being (other than a baby) can fit into that space? I am from Christchurch and appreciate the thought but this is just irresponsible design.

BOSTON- State Senator Jamie Eldridge (D-Acton) was named 2011 Senator of the Year last night by the Massachusetts Chapter of the National Association of Social Workers PACE Committee (NASW-PACE) for his leadership on issues of importance to the social work community, including efforts to reduce poverty, raise progressive revenue, and professional development for social workers.
Also receiving awards were State Representative Carl Sciortino (D-Medford), who was named the House Legislator of the Year, Christie Getto Young, Policy and Budget Director for Senator Sal DiDomenico (D-Everett), who was named Senate Staffer of the Year, and Jenny Nathans, a staff member for the Health Care Financing Committee.
"NASW MA PACE is thrilled to honor social works' greatest champions in the State House, Senator Jamie Eldridge and Representative Carl Sciortino. Senator Eldridge's work on the Asset Development Commission to reduce poverty and homelessness and his unyielding leadership in support of social work professional issues like Loan Forgiveness for social workers working in the areas of highest need — amongst other critically important issues to social workers — make him a perfect fit for this award," said Rebekah Gewirtz, Director of Government Relations and Political Action at NASW MA Chapter.
"NASW PACE is an organization that works incredibly hard to promote social and economic justice for everyone in our Commonwealth, and I'm honored to receive this award," said Senator Eldridge. "NASW sees the underlying connections between a wide variety of issues, and whether it's advocating for funding for crucial social safety net programs, universal health care, fair working conditions and wages, or equal rights for everyone in our society, including immigrants and transgender individuals, NASW is always a strong, reliable partner in the fight for progressive change."
The NASW MA Chapter's mission is to advance social work practice and to promote human rights, social and economic justice, and unimpeded access to services for all. The PACE Committee endorses candidates that support that mission and proposed legislation.

You came into my life,
When I had recovered from love.
I got to know my life again.
I had picked up my trampled heart
And kept it locked away
Within toughened sinew
You came into my life.
When I first saw you
I marvelled on your smile.
But you walked over mine with hob-nail boots
And looked over my hand of friendship.
Destiny proved stronger.
Though my smile was not for you –
My heart had a mind of its own.
(Its spirit survived.)
so I walked into your life.
Took no great notice of your past.
Took you into my heart.
Took you into my home.
Took you to be my partner, lover and love.
Destiny had its say again,
Our hearts were pushed and torn,
Mine tried its best to cling onto yours,
Yours did the same.
Hope survives.
Love carries on.
Life lives upto its name.
You walked into my life.
Your name is now linked to mine.
I try my best to keep my faith in love
And leave the rest to you, your heart and time.

You may think it takes hundreds or even thousands of dollars to make your homes seem like they cost more than they actually do. And though cost may equal value, here are five simple and easy ways to have it feel like a million bucks.
Stick to a theme
A bit of research is key in trying to find the best design and inspiration ideas that bring out the best features of your home. While you can always check magazines or hunt the Internet for stylespirations, knowing your property and what you want to do with it will determine the best furniture to bring in. Coordinated pieces make it look like a professional had a hand in the decorating process. When you put a lot of thought into choosing the different style elements that compose the space, you not only end up with comfort but even luxury as well.
Search for signs of deterioration
Nothing ruins a great wardrobe than holes in your shirt or runs in your stockings. That's the same way with our homes. No matter how well your carpet matches the drapes, termite-infested walls and floors ruin the entire look, and that's just one of the problems that a poorly-maintained area can suffer from. Preventing any of these issues from escalating will not only do wonders in terms of aesthetics but it can save you a bucketload of money in repairs.
Create a cost-effective environment
Yes, you may be avoiding hefty costs through planning and prevention but if your home generates (and wastes) great amounts of energy in the process, then you're still throwing cash away. Contact your local utility company and schedule a free energy audit to see if you are making wise choices in terms of the appliances you use. Opting for "greener" solutions is never the wrong way to go as it is always an advantage to have in every household.
Seek advice from a professional
Just because an interior decorator's full services could cost a fortune, there's no reason to shy away from the wealth of knowledge that they have when it comes to maximizing just about any kind of space. Getting your home assessed by the experts will help you see its strengths and weaknesses, and they can even provide you with some great money-saving advice that's tailor fit to your needs. Look for pro decorators whose standard hourly rate is $100 or less. This worthy investment will save you from having to make any damaging decisions in the future.
Get a new coating
Sometimes, what can really jazz a place up is a good paint job. Nothing says old and unkempt than the peeling paint coming off your walls. Neutrals are a good way to go to make the area seem bigger and brighter. They're also the easiest color palette to match. And, if you do it yourself, you won't need to pay anyone for the labor.
Whether you're preparing for a new place or you want to breathe new life into an old one, these five tips can help you get started without burning a hole in your pocket. They're quick and easy suggestions that make you think why you haven't tried any of them yet.

If he is sure because he verified the key fingerprint while meeting the owner in person, and the owner provided photo-id (or is someone he has known for many years) then he can do that. Alternatively signing a key based on a phone call with someone you know well enough to recognise their voice may be OK.

GAM acquires UK based multi-strategy systematic manager
Zurich headquartered GAM has announced the acquisition of Cantab Capital Partners (Cantab), a multi-strategy systematic manager based in Cambridge with $4bn (€3.6bn) in assets under management for institutional clients.
Established in 2006, Cantab runs two funds, the CCP Quantitative Programme and the CCP Core Macro Programme, seeking to deliver risk-adjusted returns that have low correlation to traditional assets.
GAM will fully acquire Cantab's investment business, at the exception of 40% of future performance fees, which are retained by Cantab's partners.
The deal consists of a cash payment of $217m (€195.7m) at closing and deferred consideration, based on management fee revenues, payable in 2018, 2019 and 2020.
The deferred consideration would reach around $75m (€67.6m), GAM estimated, relying on management fees figures of 2015.
GAM specified the consideration will be funded through the firm's existing cash resources.
The deal, pending to regulatory approvals, is expected to close in the second half of 2016.
GAM has also announced the launch of GAM Systematic, an investment platform focusing on systematic products and solutions across liquid alternatives and long-only traditional asset classes including equities, debt and multi asset.
GAM said Cantab will form "the cornerstone" of GAM Systematic.
The new platform will complement GAM's active discretionary investment offering and is set to serve as GAM's innovation hub for the development of new technologies, investment ideas and approaches for systematic strategies and products.
Alexander Friedman, group chief executive officer of GAM, said: "We have been evaluating how best to enter the systematic space for the past 18 months because we believe it represents an important capability for an active investment firm in the current environment and in the decades to come.
"GAM Systematic will offer our clients a compelling range of unique products complementary to our strong discretionary product range at a time when the investment industry is challenged to provide cost-efficient, liquid and diversified sources of returns."
"The market turmoil following the UK referendum last week has only reinforced our determination to pursue, and deliver on, our strategy of diversification and long-term growth.
"In Cantab we are acquiring industry-leading intellectual capital, a highly distinguished decade-long investment performance track record, and a profitable and scalable business. In combination with GAM's global distribution reach, I am convinced that this business is well positioned for significant growth," he added.
As of 31 March 2016, GAM has assets under management of CHF114.7bn (€105.5bn).

As a 30-year-old writer, poet, gamer, etc, I truly thought I'd read some of the best fantasy books that I would ever find. That was until I stumbled upon a book titled "Ready Player One" suggested to me by a co-worker. At first I thought it was just a book about some geeky kid who failed at life…without even reading the first page, and boy was I wrong and in for an amazing journey. This was my first and most powerful introduction into the world of "Literary Role Playing Games" or what has been known as (Litrpg) as authors I've come across have named this sub-genre. I will put in here however that this book itself has little to NO direct correlation with the actual litrpg genre, only a small amount of elements, as a disclaimer. With all this being said, lets begin the review of this very powerful and iconic story.
World/Environment Building: 4.0/5.0 Stars
Mr. Cline does a good job at bracing the readers for this digital universe in which our main character (MC for short) Wade Watts does a great monologue plotting out our mental constellations, planet coordinates and journey. There are landscapes, sun rises and sunsets throughout the telling of this book. The only thing that was missing until almost the end of the book and a little at the beginning of the book was how the simple geography of the world's discovered and interacted with effected the story telling as well as characters actions. By this I mean the world's are sometimes glanced at and skipped over when in potential slowing down of the plot, almost like it would hinder the book's progress for a few sentences. The absolute saving grace is where the atmosphere and environment is critical to the story, Mr. Cline writes it over and over like he's signing his signature. He paints the picture like an artist should and leaves you in a world where you can almost feel the Ms Pac-Man arcade system in front of you, ready for that lonely quarter to throw down.
Story-Line: 4.0/5.0 Stars
The straight forward premise of the book became a double-edged sword in productivity, honestly. On one hand, Wade, Aech, Art3mis, and to a lesser extent Daito and Shoto. On one side, the story line is quite obvious and talked about in the first pages of the book. It sends a clear message of what the book, on the outside, had meant to convey to the audience through Wade's dialogues and monologues. This, at the very least leaves the reader with a pathway, a sense of focus on the finish line, so no one can fall off on the long ride into destiny. On the other side, this presents a problem of being too focused on the story, at a cost. Fortunately the cost isn't too high to sacrifice the story for the sake of the finish line, but nevertheless it does leave some damage in its wake. The romance within the story could have developed a lot more but, was shorted for sake of the last goal, and left partly unfinished. Also, some other ethical issues that I won't say because it would simply spoil the book in a major way. All in all, it wasn't suppose to be a "feel good" story, but an adventure that could be potentially epic and overall it doesn't disappoint.
Characters: 5.0/5.0 Stars
This is a highly critical section personally, because I filter through characters, their flaws, accomplishments, and downfalls with a fine tooth comb. Mr. Cline, with the audio help of Mr. Will Wheaton, gives us just enough flaws for every single main character, and I mean even Sorrento…god help me, to be lovable, yes I said lovable. The reason this epic has been so popular, and has been a cult hit since it was put out for the public has been because of the characters. Those chapters are more about the characters than the real story-line, something rarely seen anymore. Mr. Cline constructs his characters like Lego pieces, building blocks upon blocks until monuments stand before the readers. These pieces are were the real miracle comes out, they capture your attention so deeply that in hindsight the environment, plot, and ending come become almost background noise. I do not know if that was the intention after all, but it is wasn't, then "lady luck" has been on Mr. Cline's side for a long time.
Narration: 4.0/5.0 Stars
To be honest, I was hyper critical of Mr. Wheaton coming into this audio book. I wasn't sure if he could transition the skills needed to go from character to character successfully and sustain that momentum throughout the 348 pages. I'll gladly "eat crow" this time around. I say this because outside of my positive opinion of Will's performance, he has over 57,000 5 star rating on Audible for Ready Player One. Let that sink in, the reviews on Audible are without a doubt….brutal. Mr. Wheaton gets better with voice and personality transitions as the story progresses, he catches emotions perfectly, with just enough either silence or conversational cadence, meaning if the character is nervous he speeds up his talking pace, etc. Given Mr. Wheaton's online and media reach, he was going to be under heavy scrutiny for his role in this and Armada, but he took on the role of narrator with pride and handled himself very professionally.
Overall: 4.75/5.0 Stars
This book was the gateway to the wonderful land of litrpg's and will forever be one of the greatest books I've ever read and listened to. This took me back to the days where pop culture references were met with smiles, laughs, and overall joy than being considered cliché. With full confidence, I know that there are many authors who've drawn their urge to create dynamic role-playing components, awe-inspiring mental environments, and characters who can make you think "they're just like me". It might sound childish at first, but every good author out there has the intelligence of an adult with the mind of a child. I challenge you, the reader to find one great author who doesn't and ill find you twenty who'll stick their tongue out at you…
With this I leave you to ponder, research and enjoy. It might be that this book and this author changes your life, if not then find those authors who's lives were changed because of this book. I know this author speaking to you now certainly has. I've left certain aspects of the book either vague or completely abandoned on purpose, just like Wade, it might be time for you to go on a quest of your own. Below are a handful of authors I know that have taken up the mantle of litrpg's and ran with it, the epics they have created with leave you speechless and wanting more, I know it has for me.

Her most recent work draws on transnational feminism to analyze histories and representations of public secondary schools located in marginalized neighborhoods, examining how these institutions often fail to include the non-'universal' student (e.g. the 'veiled' Muslim girl; the queer racialized delinquent) in the contexts of (post)colonial France and the United States.
Joy earned her PhD in Comparative Literary & Cultural Studies at Stony Brook University (SBU) with a dissertation entitled, "Cruel Paris: Transnational Feminist Approaches to Banlieue Cinema." As an Instructor in the Communication & Media Studies Department at Fordham, she taught the university's first Queer Studies in Film & TV course. She holds an M.A. in French Studies (NYU) and an Advanced Certificate in Women's & Gender Studies (SBU), and she is the recipient of the Vivien Hartog Best Graduate Instructor Award for Women's & Gender Studies (SBU, 2016). Joy's work has been published in The Quarterly Review of Film and Video and Studies in European Cinema.
