Hi. My name is Linda, and I am a certified professional makeup artist.
Few years ago, I would introduce my self differently. I graduated with an IT Degree.
Predictably, I was working in the IT field for 6 years.. My first job was as a receptionist at MICROSOFT and I worked my way up to be an enterprise security product manager. The experience working in that environment was priceless, I learnt many things.
How to deal with client, with your supplier, with your boss, foreign principals, with internal issues, boardroom dramas, logistic, costing, marketing and much more.
I had the chance working with the best brands, best engineers, best and worst bosses and colleague. I love them all. The working experience is best described by the film, Limitless. The pace was intense, the days moved faster than you could keep up. You had to constantly on your toes, and in here (point to my head). You will be dreaming about your work, which technically feels like you are working 24 hours a day. Your mind constantly thinking your next move, next year project, sales target….
There's no pause button, even on leave day.
I didn't hate it.
But…. Deep inside, I knew that I belong in a different world.
I feel instant happiness when I walk into a cosmetic counter. I was always abreast with the latest makeup trends & technology. Whenever I went to work, I looked like walking cosmetic advertisement. My colleague always came to me for their beauty woes.
I longed so much to be in the beauty and fashion industry. I daydream how it would be nice if I could. I wonder how cool it would be to appear in CLEO magazine.
The thing was, I never really believed that I could be in beauty industry. I just hope, or think how nice if I could, how fun it could be. I just daydreamed about it, just like other people. I daydreamed from age of 5 until I was 29! THAT was how long I waited, to finally take the 1st step of a thousand journey.
Today, my work revolves on making people feel and look gorgeous. I get cool invites to beauty and fashion launching. Try out and do review on latest beauty products before they come into Malaysia. I go behind and in front of live camera of the beauty world, meet Prof and Doctor who make significant chance in society. I get chance to go up close and personal with cool people like Sheila Majid to talk about spa business or with Dato Siti, on makeup tips…
I also meet everyday people who are unique in their own ways. Everybody has an interesting chapter in their life.
And currently, I am living my dream life. It is an incredible feeling.
Owh, I do not need to get stuck in a jam every morning, or evening for 5 days a week.
I really have to thank my husband, syukor alhamdullilah, for…
He is half of my pillar of strength and hope. Other hald has to come from yourself. He is a changed man, began to think ahead and blooming into an extraordinary visionaire. He made me believe I could achieve my dreams if I believe in it and plan for it. He didn't mind if how silly my dream was.... he practically amused my crazy journey of up & downs ......
I usually look up to Tun Mahathir, Tony Fernandez for their amazing strive for making outstanding change.... but now i realize my idol is the one sleeping next to me.
SO, here is the first step. LISTEN & BELIEVE .
You have to hear that little voice in yourself, telling you how much it wants to do something else.
Something that you love doing.
Something that bring happiness and spark in your day.
If your body/mind is at work because of commitment, because you have to, BUT your heart is constantly some place else, you GOT to do something.
You feel it in your heart, you are special, you belong some where else. There seems to feel like unfulfilled sense of purpose in your life, then do your self a favor.
Step back.
And listen, to what your heart has to tell you.
Or what your friends and close one's sees in you.
Then you got to believe that you can do it.
" If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it, eventhough I may not have it in the beginning"
By GANDHI
Believe in your self.
In my line of work, I meet photographers. And in many times, they are actually teachers. Doing wedding photography as a hobby or part time income.
Some of the work is OK..KAY.
BUT, some of their personal photoragraphy work… is OUTSTANDING!
I am talking about pictures that stick in your head for days or just something you'll never forget. You know, NATIONAL GEOGRAPHY quality, where the picture is just technically marvelous, but tells you a thousand story. Invokes questions, stirs emotions. & personal memories.
SPECTACULAR. Tapi….
"Owh… I part time jer, sajer…. Suker sker.. Mana buleh cari mkn keje ni"
Such a shame, I think. Talent like these, don't come by suker2 jer. It is passion.
Imagine, if this guy would have gone for photo journalism all the way, he may be the one who can harumkan nama Negara with winning best Nobel award.
But now, his work remains on a blog, unpublished… not deserving the credit or recognization that it deserves.
OR, a beautiful articulate lady, who looks better than some international model, or beauty icon. Conversational skill boleh celen Oprah Winfrey….
Dreams to go on modeling .. Tapi…malu sebab pendek.
So works in the icy cold server room.
Sayang. She could have represented Malaysia as an international super model. Kate Moss height is well below the required minimum model height, did that stop her. Sophie Dahl is like almost 20kg over the maximum model weight. Did that stop her?
Don't let yourself, or other people limit your dreams.
We look at them.
We know some of them. And you know they can go further and beyond what they are doing. Tak kisah in what field, sports or business or movie/music industry… We have so much potential people around us, who can go very, very far if they want to. TAPI… byk sangat dgn TAPI nyerr.
We see most successful people at their best now. BUT have got to think about, what if these people did not pursue further of their dreams and ideas… They wont be where there are now AND WE wont be able to share the success of their inventions or ideas.
You can worry about the HOW later. BECAUSE the HOW, can sometimes make you overanalyze the possibilities. You end up not trying at all. The logic and the worry of 'how' to get there, boleh ker? Boleh ker aku? The worry cycle here, will take out your courage, and you may not even get to the first step, which actually where most people fail.
BELIEVE in your self.
This is the leap of FAITH. You just do it. You worry too much, you will never go anywhere. And you'll always wonder, what if , but… you are still there, forever wondering, at square one.
I hope if there's anybody here, still thinking, thinking.. and still at thinking (giving excuses, justifying why I can't do this, I can't do that…)
Once you've the done leap of faith, the swim towards the other side is going to be hard. I am NOT kidding, when I say, I feel like giving up, quitting many, many times… trying to turn back into my comfort, safe zone.
TAKUT GAGAL. Because by now you have realized things may not be easy. You will be tempted to give up.
Keep going. IF you feel like giving up, take baby steps, think of the small achievements. Appreciate your little moments.
Reflect on your VICTORY of making that first step, when you're thinking you that you may lose.
If everything seems to falter, you feel you cant do it, then it is best to surround yourself with people who believe you can. Positive thinking people. They will push you up, when you're feeling down and have your back when the going gets tough. Have someone there for you, when you're down or feel the temptation of giving up. Morale support is very important. Especially for me, because I don't like reading self motivation books, they put me to sleep.
In fact, I cannot stand reading any motivational books, be it jutawan fakir la, or jutawan senyap la or even big reknown stuff from Anthony Robbins or Robert Kiyosaki. And I LOVE BOOKS. There is nothing wrong with these books, it is just me. Maybe I should….
So, I get my positive vibes from my hubby who loves to read this genre of books. And my close friends too.
By nature, I am very competitive, a worrier, a planner, and for me failure is NOT an option. And the problem with fear of failing, I end up NEVER trying at all, in the first place.
So… we end up doing NOTHING at all.
Avoid the fear of failure. Because once you limit yourself to what is acceptable, or reasonable chances (playing safe la)
YOU… your self have already oppressed your own dreams and what you really want or could achieve.
Not fate, not work, not your boss, mak ayah…
NOT other people. But YOU have already limit yourself.
So, take charge of your life. Be an author of your own life story.
Is your life a book that only you would read?
Or is it a book that other people would want to read too?
OK. I hope I didn't put you guys to sleep. But I do hope if there is anybody here who is unsure, in doubt of what they want to do, still scared to make the first step will be able to move forward, and reach for your dreams, take it where only the sky is the limit. Good luck and remember God, Allah will always help for those who ask for His help.
In syaa Allah.

Until the appearance of this collection, only one single-volume translation included the bulk of the extant writings of Menander.1 Norma Miller's 1987 Penguin volume nicely translates all the texts from F.H. Sandbach's 1972 OCT Menandri Reliquiae Selectae and has been the only book suitable for use as a classroom text.2 W.G. Arnott has completed his superb three-volume Loeb edition of Menander, but it is too expensive and unwieldy to serve as a textbook for most classroom uses. The Penn Greek Drama Series has issued a Menander volume, but a host of problems make it difficult to recommend (cf BMCR 1999.03.08). For most classroom use, then, the choice now becomes one between Miller's Penguin and Maurice Balme's new contribution to the Oxford World Classics series (once the sensibly priced paperback edition becomes available). Both are reliable and the choice will be one of taste and preference. Balme's translation is a shade more exact and up-to-date but Miller's remains more readable overall.
Peter Brown provides a sharp and wide-ranging, yet coherent introduction. Brown covers Menander's life, dating of the plays, the development of Greek stage comedy, theatrical and generic conventions of Menandrean comedy, and an assessment of Menander's legacy for world theater. He also nicely emphasizes the lively stage action of Menander's comedy in performance. Too often the generic constraints and stock requirements of Greek New Comedy tacitly suggest such comic drama was a fairly lifeless affair, so Brown's comments are especially welcome.
The translations include all the plays of which anything substantial has been recovered on papyrus, arranged from most complete to least: The Bad-Tempered Man (Dyskolos), The Girl from Samos (Samia), The Arbitration (Epitrepontes), The Shield (Aspis), The Girl with the Shaven Head (Perikeiromene), The Man She Hated (Misoumenos), The Man from Sikyon (Sikyonios), Twice a Swindler (Dis Exapaton), The Hero (Heros), The Lyre-Player (Kitharistes), The Farmer (Georgos), The Apparition (Phasma), The Flatterer (Kolax), The Girl Possessed (Theophoroumene), The Girl from Leukas (Leukadia), The Girl from Perinthos (Perinthia), The Man from Carthage (Karchedonios), The Women Drinking Hemlock (Koneiazomenai), the bits of the unknown play from P.Caerensis 43227 (as in Handley's OCT), and a selection of other quotations of Menander from antiquity (again as in Handley's OCT, but equipped with cross-references to Kassel-Austin).3 Each play comes equipped with its own brief introduction, which tells what survives of the play, its cast, and basics of its plot.
Balme's translation is the most meticulous yet to appear in English. He renders the Greek iambic trimeter into blank verse and the trochaic tetrameter into English trochaics. The result feels more like rigid versification than poetry, though some could say the same about Menander's orginal. Balme expends the most effort making his translation reflect the state of the tattered remains of the scripts of Menander's plays. He dutifully notes gaps, supplies hypotheses about their contents, and for shorter textual problems, he italicizes any translation of tentative reconstructions (see example below). He also capitalizes on the most recent scholarship, e.g., Arnott's Loeb, noted above. For Epitrepontes and Misoumenos especially, this means measurable additions to the texts available to Miller for her 1987 translations.
Unfortunately, such meticulousness does not always result in clarity. Balme's allegiance to meter and precision can leave passages and lines ranging from decent to awkward to nearly inscrutable without checking the Greek. Readers are likely to find a line like "Call me your mother, Gorgias/ And say it's urgent" unintentionally humorous coming out of the mouth of the old man Knemon (Dyskolos 699-700). Students, especially in America, may be less amused with Knemon's archaic style in his great monologue, which features lines like "Lie me down. I hold that no one should say more than he needs must" (739-40).
Comparison with Miller's translations tends to show that Balme is not often bad but also never establishes a rhythm that will convey to the reader the flow of Menander's Greek, which made him so popular and quotable in antiquity. Two examples will suffice.4 For προάγει γὰρ ἡ τῶν πραγμάτῶν ἐμπειρία of Dyskolos 29, Balme offers "experience brings men on." Typical of Balme, it is accurate, literal, and vague. Miller turns in the epigrammatic "Experience matures a man," which brings out more of the force of the maxim. For a more extended example, consider Balme's handling of Chairestratos's speech from the last act of Epitrepontes. Chairestratos debates with himself about his feelings for Habrotonon, the hetaira in the company of Charisios, his friend and neighbor: the opposite, and you,Chairestratos, must now consider whatShould happen next; how you can stay his friend,Faithful as you have always been? For she'sNo common tart and it's no chance affair;She's seriously in love; she's had this child;And in her mind she's free. Enough of that!You must not look at her. First she must haveA talk alone now with her dearest love,Her sweet Charisios... The italics are original, reflecting Balme's convention of italicizing conjectures. The use of traditional brackets might have been preferable, since on the printed page the italics have the distracting effect of emphasizing words and phrases at cross purposes to the content and manner of a character's speech. Now Miller for the same passage:
the opposite, and you,Chairestratos, must now consider whatShould happen next; how you can stay his friend,Faithful as you have always been? For she'sNo common tart and it's no chance affair;She's seriously in love; she's had this child;And in her mind she's free. Enough of that!You must not look at her. First she must haveA talk alone now with her dearest love,Her sweet Charisios...
[brooding] Contrariwise, Chairestratos, you have to consider the inevitable consequence. How do you propose to continue to be Chairisios' loyal friend? She's not a common tart, who's available to anyone. It's serious, she's had a child, she's no slave. [Pause] Oh, stop it! Forget her! Let her first have a tête-à-tête with her "dearest, sweetest Chairisios" ...
Miller offers a looser, prose version, preferring to delineate the turns of thought in Chaerestratos' aporia. She also silently omits the more fragmentary lines.
Choosing between Miller and Balme will depend on purpose and taste. In Chaerestratos' speech above, Balme preserves more accurately the individual lines and words of the Greek text, but at the expense of the general sense of the whole. Miller conveys general thrust of the speech. For an ordinary classroom text, or for any occasion to introduce Menander to the Greekless reader (student, performer, director, etc), Miller will be by far the more accessible. For years I have used Miller's translation with success in courses on ancient comedy in translation. It is not perfect, but students have been able to articulate many of the issues raised by Menander's plays, even as they have still struggled with the fragmentary state of even the better preserved plays. Balme's version would certainly cause them to lose the forest for the trees. Those seeking a reference translation or crib for Menander's Greek, however, will find Balme precise and reliable. Indeed, for any close line-by-line analysis, Balme's efforts will be helpful. Overall, then, for Brown's introduction and Balme's exactness, this new volume will be rewarding, so long as its goals and strengths are kept in mind.
1. This does not count reprints of translations from early in the twentieth century which are very much outdated by newer finds or single plays available in their own editions or in compilations. 2. F.H. Sandbach, Menandri Reliquiae Selectae (Clarendon: Oxford, 1972; revised with appendix, 1990). The revisions and additions of the 1990 edition of course appeared too late for Miller to incorporate. Miller adds to the Dis Exapaton the parallel lines from Plautus' Bacchides for easy comparison of this unique instance where we have both a Greek comedy and its Roman adaptation. No other edition contains this handy feature. 3. R. Kassel and C. Austin, Poetae Comici Graeci, vol. 6.2 Menander: Testimonia et Fragmenta apud scriptores servata (Berlin: Walter de Gruyter, 1998). 4. For ease of comparison, I use the same two passages I used in my review of David R. Slavitt and Palmer Bovie, eds, Menander (Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 1998) in BMCR 1999.03.08.

Planetary & Space Science Research Projects
The main focus of our space science group is ionospheric and magnetospheric physics. We investigate ionized gas in the planetary environments in the Solar System by means of theory, simulation and data analysis.
Aurorae (northern and southern lights) are among the most visible space physics phenomena. They have been observed on many planets of the solar system, like Jupiter for example. The conditions in the near-Earth space environment are commonly called the space weather. They include the changes in the magnetic fields (geomagnetic storms, ionospheric disturbances etc.) and the influence of energetic particles from the Sun (flares and coronal mass ejections). All these phenomena have direct or indirect influence on our lives (by damages to satellites, for example, or a power grid failure).
For further information on space physics and space weather we recommend the following websites:
Selected research results:
- Transport of Energetic Particles into the Near-Earth Space Environment
Sun's Long-Term Variation
Because satellite-based radiometers have revealed continuous changes in the total solar irradiance and its spectral distribution since 1978 [e.g., Willson and Mordvinov, 2003], the constancy of the Sun is not assumed anymore. Understanding the variability of the Sun has important implications for both terrestrial and space climatology, but presents a formidable challenge. Sun and Earth are complex dynamic systems, which are linked through radiation, particles, and magnetic fields.
The open solar magnetic flux is one solar characteristic that is believed to have an influence Earth's climate. A doubling of this flux during the 20th century has been inferred by Lockwood et al. [1999] and has been linked to a corresponding rise in Earth's surface temperature during the last 100 years [Lockwood and Stamper, 1999]. Empirical models of the magnetic flux also show a large increase in the 20th century [Solanki, 2000].
These reports have engendered controversy, leading to a series of papers in the October 2002 issue of the Journal of Geophysical Research. In particular, there is no evidence for an increase in the solar flux after ~1955 [e.g., Arge et al., 2002, Richardson et al., 2002, Kotov and Kotova, 2001]. This absence of an increase in the recent data has raised questions about the reality of the reported increase prior to 1955. The doubt has been substantiated by one of us [8], who used polar cap geomagnetic fields to found no long-term trend in the solar wind electric field between 1926 and 2001.
The ensuing contradictions suggest that the aa index is not uniformly calibrated, since Lockwood et al. [1999] results are based on aa and their method is sound.
To exploit the long time-series of geomagnetic variations available, new indices are being proposed [7], that will separate the influence of solar wind speed and the interplanetary magnetic field.

Transport of Energetic Particles into the Near-Earth Space Environment
- Bubble interchange appears to be the major form of transport in Earth's magnetic tail, and geomagnetic conditions near Earth result from this transport.
- Quantification of this transport is crucial for understanding, modeling, and eventual prediction of critical space-weather events.
- One goal of this project is to provide quantitative observational information for use in specifying that transport and near-Earth geomagnetic conditions.
The solar wind flowing outward from the Sun interacts with Earth's magnetic field to confine and compress the magnetic field on the day side and form a wake or tail downstream of Earth. This is Earth's "magnetosphere". The Earth's magnetic field confines a plasma. The plasma is a completely ionized, electrically neutral, collisionless gas consisting of solar-wind protons, atmospheric oxygen ions, and electrons. The plasma behaves as an ideal gas with specific entropy, s = PV5/3, where P = nkT is the plasma pressure, and V is the flux-tube volume. The differential drifts between the plasma's ions and electrons result in electrical currents which couple to Earth's ionosphere. Normally, earthward transport in the magnetic tail is weak. However, during geomagnetic storms and substorms, magnetic reconnection occurs in the middle portion of the magnetic tail which substantially reduces the specific entropy of flux tubes. These flux tubes of reduced specific entropy, or "bubbles", rapidly interchange with flux tubes of larger specific entropy. This results in the rapid transport of energetic plasma and magnetic flux toward Earth. These low-specific-entropy bubbles preferentially deposit their energetic plasma and magnetic flux near Earth and determine the electrical coupling of the magnetosphere with the Earth's ionosphere.
Hence, the specific entropy of flux tubes in Earth's magnetic tail is a critical quantity that determines both geomagnetic conditions and the energetic particle environment near Earth. The problem is that determination of the specific entropy requires determination of the flux-tube volume, V. Whereas the plasma pressure is approximately constant within a flux tube (so a point measurement of the pressure suffices), the direct measurement of V is impossible. Space is large, spacecraft coverage is sparse, and the magnetic field varies greatly in both time and space. We have developed a method by which to estimate the volume of a flux tube given a point measurement of the magnetic field at a spacecraft [Wolf et al., 2006]. The method involves fitting a single, spacecraft measurement of the plasma pressure and magnetic field to a generalized solution for the global plasma and magnetic field configuration in force balance. The volume, of the flux tube sampled by the spacecraft is calculated from this fitted solution, and the specific entropy, s = PV5/3, of the sampled flux tube is estimated.
We have introduced a method to obtain the specific entropy of flux tubes from single-satellite measurements of the plasma and magnetic field. We confirm that rapid Earthward transport of plasma and magnetic flux occurs as flux tubes of reduced specific entropy ("bubbles"). Quantitative determination of the specific entropy of flux tubes is critical for the understanding, modeling, and eventual prediction of space-weather events that affect power grids, communication, navigation, as well as radiation exposure to humans and satellite assets.

This project is supported by NASA under grant NNG06GH72G to Prairie View A&M University. Geotail magnetic field and plasma data were provided by T. Nagai, H. Hayakawa, and T. Mukai through DARTS at the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS) in Japan.

Fireman's outfit, pristine cello, 1 million sports cards
San Diego Reader Classified ads, December 4, 2019
3 p.m., Dec. 6
5662 La Jolla Boulevard, La Jolla
When it comes to a good hand-crafted cocktail, according to the bar manager at Beaumont's Eatery, Gavin McManes, the trick is in the treat.
"Anytime someone comes into my bar, I'm basically treating them as if they're in my living room," he says. "I like to treat my bar as their home away from home."
In fact, when tricks and treats matter most, McManes comes through for his customers, offering the Jack-O-lantern again this Halloween at Beaumont's, the usual haunt for Bird Rock's own gaggle of ghouls, goblins and ghosts. The Jack-O-Lantern was such a scream last year, McManes says, that he's brought it back again this year as the proper potion for celebrating the witching hour.
"We were trying to come up with a Halloween drink last year," he says, explaining how he created the cocktail in his secret laboratory. "I try to get away from the more funky stuff and sought a more culinary bent with this drink. The idea was to incorporate pumpkin, which is a fall flavor, with the Halloween theme. Since we use Jack Daniels as the base, we thought the Jack-O-Lantern was a good name for it."
According to McManes, a taste for pumpkin is a must for anyone trying the Jack-O-Lantern, but even for those that think whisky and pumpkin mix about as well as The Werewolf and Frankenstein's monster, beware! This story has an unexpected twist….
"Pumpkin is definitely an underlying flavor," he says. "But it's a very balanced drink. The citrus balances the sweetness from the pumpkin and the whisky has such a powerful flavor that it adds to the savory character. Whereas vodka, say, would only give you the blandness to compete with the orange and pumpkin, the whisky balances out the citrus with the sweetness."
Kitchen Proof: The perfect elixir for bringing taste buds back from the dead, McManes's balancing trick of ingredients makes this treat worth a good howl at the moon…
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, pour:
Shake ingredients, pour into martini glass, dust top with cinnamon and get ready to light your pumpkin…

Tips for Achieving Your Goals
Have you ever gotten to the end of a week and thought, "I had such plans. How did this week get away from me?"
Each Monday, I write out a list of goals for the week. I'll be honest – it takes some time – sometimes 15 minutes – sometimes, much longer. It seems like it should be easy to think of them, but I can overwhelm myself by wanting to come up with too many – I keep it to two goals in five areas: Home, Relationships, Me, Business and God. That doesn't mean that I don't do anything else in those areas. What it does mean is that by next Saturday, I want to look back on this list and have these specific things done.
Some of them I need to break down, (finish speaker page is multiple steps and will involve multiple people,) but if I don't write down the goal, and then break it down, it will stay on my mental "wish list" for months.
Many of these goals are part of my bigger plan for life. "Research shade solutions for back patio," is part of my summer goal or having an outdoor living space. Again, breaking things down into 15 minute chunks (that's all it takes to start researching,) will get me that much closer to my goal.
So here are my goals for the week. I hope they serve as a little inspiration:
Home Goals
Make meal plans for the month of June (including trying two new healthy menu options)
Research backyard shade solutions
Relationship Goals
Plan June Birthday parties/Father's Day
Plan a date with Roger for Washington
Me Goals
Walk 1 Mile, 3xs
Read The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You're Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are
Business Goals
Finish my speaker page
Read Podcast Launch – A Step by Step Podcasting Guide Including 15 Video Tutorials
God Goals
Names of God study
Extended Quite Time on Wednesday
And now you: Tell me at least 3 goals you have for the week, and I will enter you to win The Me Project Entries must be received by June 7th!

How To Start A WordPress Blog
The biggest mistake made by beginners when they start to blog is selecting the wrong blogging platform. Fortunately you are reading this article, so you won't make this mistake.
For around 95% of all users, using WordPress.org, which is also referred to as self-hosted WordPress, will make the most sense. Why is that? Because you can use it for free, you can customize the design of your site, install plugins and most important of all, earn money from your website without any restrictions.
You might have heard before that it is free to use WordPress. You may be wondering why it's free and what the catch is? There isn't any catch. The reason it is free is because you need to do your own setup and host it on your own.
Getting Started
You will need to get web hosting and a domain name. The domain name is what individuals type into their browsers to get over to your website. It is the address for your website on the internet. So for example, bestwebhostingforbloggers.com or google.com.
Your website lives on its web hosting. It is the house for your website on the internet. All websites need to have web hosting.
Typically, the most affordable hosting companies start around $1.99 per month and a domain name costs around $14.99 per year. That can be a lot of money for some beginners who are just getting started.
Fortunately, Bluehost, which is an officially recommended hosting provider for WordPress, has agreed to offer new users 60% on their web hosting and a free domain name.
Bluehost is one of the older web hosting companies, that began in 1996 (even before Google). For WordPress hosting, they are the largest brand name, since they hosting millions of different websites (including a number of sites that we own and run).
Since 2005, Bluehost has worked with WordPress, and they are fully committed to giving something back. That is why they have made the promise that if you are unable to get your blog launched online in 30 minutes through following the tutorial, our experts will get the process completed with you without a charge. We will be compensated by them, so you won't have to pay us. For free help with your blog setup contact us.
Before you continue reading, go buy your domain and hosting plan (you can click here for a special discount) from Bluehost so you can follow these steps.
Step 1. Choose Your Domain Name & Get Hosting
After you fill in your account information, be sure to get your package information finalized in order to get the process completed. On that screen, there are optional extra options you can choose to buy. It is completely up to you whether you want to buy them or not, but in general we don't recommend that you buy them. You can add them later in the future if you decide you need to have them.
Hosting Checkout
After you have completed the process, you will get an email that includes details on how to get logged into your web hosting's control panel (cPanel). That is where you will be managing everything from emails, support, and many other things. Most important of all, that is where you will be installing WordPress as well.
Step 2. Install WordPress
Inside of cPanel, there are dozens of different small icons for various features and services. That can be somewhat overwhelming, so you should just ignore 95% of these since you won't be ever using them.
In the website section, scroll down and then click on the WordPress icon.
Installing WordPress from cPanel
Next you will be redirected over to the Bluehost Marketplace's Quick Install WordPress screen. Then you will need to click on the Get Started button.
You will choose your domain name on the next screen. Go to the dropdown and choose your domain and then click on Next.
WordPress Setup – Enter Domain Name
Next you will need to enter in your username, password and Site Name for your website. All of the checkboxes will need to be checked and then click on Install.
Bluehost Marketplace – Install WordPress
The QuickInstall starts to install WordPress. Then you will be prompted by the marketplace to browse through WordPress themes, as WordPress is being installed.
You don't need to do this right now. In the next step we will be showing you how you can get free WordPress themes.
After WordPress is done installing, the success notice will show up in the top header bar.
Completion of Bluehost WordPress Installation
Click on the link for Installation Complete, and it takes you over to the screen for your WordPress password and login URL.
WordPress login details – Bluehost Marketplace
Your WordPress site is now created. Congratulations! That wasn't so bad.
Your WordPress login URL is going to look something like the following:
- http://yoursite.com/wp-admin
To login to your dash, click on the WordPress login link.
At this point we are ready to get your site's appearance customized and start to blog.
Step 3. Choose your WordPress Theme
Themes are what controls what your WordPress blog looks like. When you visit your blog for the first time you will see the default WordPress theme.
For most people that isn't very appealing.
One of the most rewarding and exiting aspects of getting your WordPress website crated it customizing your blog's look and feel.
There are thousands of WordPress themes that are pre-made and available for you to get installed on your website. Some of them are paid themes and some are free.
In order to change your them, go into the WordPress dashboard on your site and click on Appearance > Themes.
Installing WordPress Themes
Click on Add New button.
Then on the next screen, you can search through around 4,100 free WordPress themes that the WordPress.org official themes directory has available. You can sort them by features, latest, popular or other feature filters (layout, industry, etc).
Choose a Theme
Once you have found a theme that you want to use, just hover your mouse over it, and the click on the Install button. Then just wait for the theme to get installed. Then an Activate button will replace the install button. Then click on Activate on the theme.
Installing and Activating Your WordPress Theme
After your theme is installed, you can get it customized by going to the Appearance menu and click on the Customize link.
After you choose your WordPress theme, you can then get your first blog post created.
Step 4. Create Your First Blog Post
In order to get your first blog post written, click on Posts > Add New Menu inside of your WordPress dashboard.
There will be an editor area to write your blog post in.
WordPress Blog Post Editor
After you have finished writing, then click on the Publish button to get your first blog post published.
There are several other sections on the posts screen like Tags and Categories. These can be used for organizing your blog posts.
Step 5. Customizations and Plugins
After your first blog post is written, you will most likely want to get started by adding some other elements on your website like an about page, contact form and more.
To customize WordPress even further and to add features such as sliders, galleries, contact forms and more, you will need to use some WordPress plugins.
WordPress plugins are apps that let you add some new features to your site. There are more than 46,000 WordPress plugins that are currently available for you to use.

What's your OS?
My setup works as:
laptop to monitor 1 --> USB C to USB C
monitor 1 to monitor 2 --> DP out to DP in
I prefer this setup as the USB C to USB C connection also charges my laptop in addition to extending the displays. Personal preference but reduces me to 1 cable plug and play.
Thanks Yazoo Jr
but I assume you use a Windows laptop right?
Windows 10. Running this off an X1C6.
01-07-2019 01:12 PM - edited 01-07-2019 01:40 PM
I recently switched from an X1C6 to a P1, and daisychaining still works fine. My setup is:
Laptop <-- USB-C --> Monitor 1 <-- DP --> Monitor 2
There is one slight difference with the P1. With the X1C6, I only had daisychaining enabled in monitor 1. Windows appropriately identified Monitor 1 as #1 and Monitor 2 as #2.
With the P1, and daisychaining enabled only in Monitor 1, Windows insisted on identifying Monitor 1 as #2 and Monitor 2 as #1. Of course you can rearrange the monitors in Windows settings, but that is not quite the same because some things seem to default to monitor 1.
The solution was to enable daisychaining in both monitors. Then Windows appropriately identied Monitor 1 as #1 Monitor 2 as #2.
Note that both the X1C6 and P1 are a bit finicky about recognizing the monitors at startup after the laptop has been disconnected. I usually have to plug in the USB-C cable to the laptop, then toggle the power button on Monitor 1 to get the monitors to be recognized. Once the monitors have been recognized, they remian so until the next time they are disconnected.
Also note that with the P1 or X1E (and probably other models that use > 100W power supply), the monitor cannot supply power to the laptop. A separate power supply is needed.
Does it mean, that the issue is in MAC?
Is it HW or SW limitation? I wonder, whether apple will change something because of lenovo
I've been struggling to determin if the issue is primarly the X1C6 or the P27h-10. We replaced all our P27h-10's with Dell U2719DC's thinking we'd resolve the MST/DaisyChain and other quirks with monitors not always showing up, limited connectivity popups etc coming from our X1C6's and the issue was actually worse. Which leads us to believe that while the monitors certainly had their issues (P27h-10's) that the larger majority of the issues stemed from the X1's themselves. Especially since the early december firmware updates. Super frustrating as we've now wasted thousands and thousands of dollars trying to make a reliable single usb-c monitor + x16c solution work.
01-09-2019 04:26 AM - edited 01-09-2019 05:05 AM
Hi all, do we have clear info, whether this is MAC/apple limitation and will never work?
Or I can confirm whether apple will support it with upcoming releases? Is it MST feature for multiple monitors we are looking for here?
Having again talked to Apple, they now confirmed that it should work with Mac.
I have now requested new monitors which will be send to me in the upcoming two weeks. I will let you know if the older firmware on my current monitors was the problem.
Matmid01, thank you very much for your effort. I hope you will be able to resolve the issue.
I would expect that apple and lenovo can make this work.

Prez Sirleaf lauds China in Liberias Ebola fight
(elbcradio.com/Liberia/Nov. 26, 2014)-President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf has lauded the Chinese Government for its prompt response to supporting Liberia in its fight against Ebola.
President Johnson-Sirleaf also commended Chinese President, Xi Jinping, and the Chinese people for committing their resources to helping Liberia in the Ebola fight.
She recalled that in June, July and August, 2014, the Liberian Government was saddened by the deaths of hundreds of Liberians, infected by the Ebola virus.
"Amidst the Ebola deaths, the Chinese Government was one of the first to respond to Liberia's SOS call on the global community for assistance in the ongoing health crisis," President Johnson-Sirleaf said.
"The Chinese Government responded with a ship-load of Personal Protective Equipments (PPEs) and other medical supplies."
The Liberian Leader spoke Tuesday, November 25, 2014 at the dedicatory ceremony of a 100bed Chinese Ebola Treatment Unit (ETU) at the Samuel Kanyon Doe (SKD) Sports Complex in Paynesville.
The Liberian President also said: ""The prompt response from the Chinese Government encouraged other partners to join the fight against Ebola in Liberia."
She described the Chinese Ebola Treatment Unit (ETU) as the first high quality international relief efforts and commended the Chinese Army for the construction of the ETU.
"I hope quality materials used to construct the ETU will be translated into high quality treatment for Liberians and will be extended to treat other infectious diseases apart from Ebola, the Liberian Chief Executive added.
Turning the facilities over to the Liberian Government, the Head of a Chinese Delegation to Liberia, Cui Li, praised President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf for her determined commitment and strong leadership in the fight against the pandemic.
Madam Cui said: "The ETU is designed to meet high standards in the prevention and control of infectious diseases other than Ebola."
Speaking through an interpreter, Madam Cui also said: "The ETU is for isolating suspected and treat confirmed Ebola patients, including UN staff, has qualified medical staff and first class international doctors and Ebola experts."
The Vice Minister of the National Health and Family Planning Commission of China told the gathering that the Chinese ETU is expected to run for six month period.
"The Ebola Center, the first of its kind in Liberia, was built with semi-fabricated materials and has a lifespan of over 15 years," Madam Cui noted.
"The Chinese Government is prepared to carry out exchanges with all parties on disease prevention and control, and will also share China's experience with others," she also said.
The Chinese Envoy said: "My Government has contributed more than 750-million Chinese Yuan for four rounds of assistance to Ebola affected countries."
"The financial assistance also goes to relevant international and regional organizations in West Africa to fight Ebola," Madam Cui added.

No ... that's O(n^2), whereas factorial algorithms are O(x^n), for some constant x ... If you eliminate counting both ways, you are essentially dividing by a constant factor, not changing from an exponential algorithm to a polynomial ... d.

I took off the probationary sticker which has been stamped on my car for 2 years today. Truthfully, it's a moment that I've been always looking forward to.
I had been through the heart-pumping moment of passing a freaking driving test, had my first-time experience of fetching a handful of friends who tried to fit into a 4-seaters car, and then almost collide with a Mercedes, had a minor accident which caused the backdoor some damage, rode as far as possible with mates, had tried out crazy things like speeding side by side with another gang of mates (we had the sound booster turned on and sung out so loud as if we're like a moving k-box), reaching peak mileage just to feel the excitement and intensity, and not forgetting secretly driving my father's car to pick up girls 8) .
The most ridiculous incident ever happened was experiencing a series of car breakdowns. It was last year's Chinese New Year eve when I fetch Mr Lee and friends for an outing at Sri Hartamas. It was plain-sailing until I couldn't shift the gearbox when the traffic goes green. How could a car move when the gearbox isn't functioning? As luck would have it, my car was on a sloop. I released the handbrake and let the force and momentum to do the job so that I can prevent some 'heated' environment, that is to say, drivers behind, lack tolerance, will hit the honks. I realized the brake was too, got out of hand. Parked the car aside, I called for rescue. Dad came, did some inspection, and he managed to drive the troubled-car away home. At some stage I was impressed at the ability of problem-solving of my old man. Our outing carried on, I drove my father's car instead. We had a great time hanging out together, we return home at 0000GMT. The series goes on. Choobs' tyre went flat! I must ask myself that time what on earth is going on? 6 of us who have no knowledge on fixing a flat wheel against one bloody flat tyre. Choobs was crying so we want to shut him up and we worked all the way replacing a new wheel as time ticks away. Obviously, we're 6 wisemen, everything is back to good in an hour.
Time flies. Finally the time has come for me to tear off this 'P' initial sticker from my car, I thank all the memories you gave me along this two years, but you look freaking ugly, I have to get rid of you!

Project Description
Camp Quality
High Net Worth Sales Pack
Camp Quality are responsible for a vast range of family support for people growing up with cancer. From camps to in-hospital care, the essential services they provide are vital to the emotional and physical health of children facing the toughest time of their lives. One of the most important fundraising avenues for Camp Quality comes from philanthropy and high-value donors.
Sitting across the table and speaking face-to-face with potential philanthropic partners or high net-worth individuals requires care, concentration, and courage. Marlin was asked to create the communications that could support the interaction.
As fundraisers, Marlin understood that our clients (and their Board of Directors) would require some support to substantiate why they needed big gifts. We ran a workshop with Camp Quality to discover what funds would be used for.
This uncovered the insight that Camp Quality was at risk of being seen as a "nice to have" and that many of the audience would not be aware of Camp Quality's work in hospitals or schools. Each of these was identified as a potential barrier to securing a major gift or partnership.
We set out to develop a way to introduce people to these work beyond camps – without losing the strong spirit of the brand.
Marlin developed candidates for a new value proposition for the charity. This process helped identify that our message and materials needed to show the breadth of places that Camp Quality interacted with a girl or boy growing up with cancer.
To portray that message we developed a sales kit containing case studies, ask sheets, and a prospectus. But instead of a standard folder, we created a pop-up diorama that could become the memorable centrepiece of presentations in homes and workplaces.
By commissioning illustrations and helping to procure print sponsorship, Marlin developed a kit that gave every fundraiser (professional or volunteer) confidence.
Face to face fundraising is about breaking down barriers to giving AND barriers to asking. Marlin's work provided a solution to both – by developing the right materials to justify a major gift AND providing a way for the fundraiser to gain momentum in the conversation.

Summary – How to be free from the zombie trap of working
I previously wrote an entry on the tips for first day at work. So many friends joined in and added additional ideas to it.
But what happens next? So for those that had already worked, are there any tips?
There's one thing that may be worth sharing. It's on how to free yourself from the zombie trap. These questions can determine whether or not you are already trapped.
1) What is it about the job that makes you happy? the freedom, the money, the colleague or the girl/guy you're eyeing 🙂
2) When you go back this evening, can you predict what's your work going to be like tomorrow?
3) How's the boss? friendly? enemy? Do you even have any friends?
4) Did you improve when compared to yourself when you first started working? knowledge, experience, attitude, qualification wise?
5) If you are on leave for 1 months, can somebody else do your job?
6) We work to make money, do you have an emergency fund (at least 6 month of your salary)?
We go to work, work, go back home and collect money end of the month. This is very much like a zombie. It is a very soul-depleting process. We are supposed to gain more than just money in working such as friends, experience, knowledge etc
To summarize : A person free from the zombie trap will work for 5 years and by the end of the 5 years –
- He can resign from the job anytime, and the company will make an increased offer for him just to make him stay
- Other competitive companies had already proposed to him, and anytime he resigned they will take him
- He had a six month emergency fund.. maybe more.
- He make friends in the company (lots of friend)
- He is now an expert in what he do. Nobody can do what he does
- He now know what exactly he want from his life
– I wonder –
How do you think we can be free of this trap? maybe writing up a resignation letter dated 5 years in the future. It will remind us to be very secured when the time come. (The letter is just for reminder only, not to be submitted)
Any other tips?
———— Personal Note ————-
I have this dream of becoming self employed. But in order to do that, I must be very secured with my source of income. And the work must be something I enjoy doing.
Hopefully 2008 will be the year I started my very very small business, a lemonade stall perhaps.. 🙂 Amiin

An economist is telling everyone to sell their BP shares in a roundabout way, by warning that the switch to electric cars could be so swift that current petrol and diesel models could all be on the scrap heap within eight years.
Driving a petrol or diesel model will be soon saved for enthusiasts only, says professor Tony Seba, who thinks that once electric cars are cheaper and can drive themselves, the fossil fuel industry and all it powers will collapse in no time.
Seba said: "We are on the cusp of one of the fastest, deepest, most consequential disruptions of transportation in history," with his analysis of cost curves saying internal combustion engines will rocket in price once electric takes over, plus there's a chance people in urban areas will entirely give up on the idea of car ownership altogether, what with self-driving options becoming the norm in towns.
In Seba's fantasy sci-fi world this might all happen by 2025, with the "mass stranding of existing vehicles" seeing petrol and diesel things dumped en masse. So there. [The Sun]
