But ever since I've returned from the Most Fabulous Conference Ever (SCBWI-New York in February), a statement made by an editor there has been banging around in my head. At the Friday workshop, one of the participants at my table offered a synopsis as her 500-word sample, as opposed to 500 words from a WIP. Her synopsis was, by all accounts, what I've always heard a synopsis should be: a direct account of the plot. It was clean, single-spaced, and on one page. But it was also, unfortunately, dry.
Why is this, we writers asked. She did everything right, so why wouldn't this synopsis catch an editor's eye? Our guru responded that while yes, a synopsis should briefly summarize the plot, what is most important is the story arc of the main character. Smaller plot lines and secondary characters have no place in a succinct synopsis. You should first show where your character is in the beginning of the story (not physically - mentally. Is she sick of her mom? Does she want to overhaul her image? Is she counting the days toward a big event?). Next, show a few major plot points, and how those IMPEDE your character's goal. (And they must, of course, impede. Otherwise, there is no story). Then, wrap it up by showing where your character winds up. (Again, mentally here. She reconciles with Mommy Dearest, or she accepts who she is, or she realizes that she should not base her social status on the prom alone.)
The editor said, (and I'm paraphrasing here): "A synopsis is a summary of your CHARACTER'S story, not a summary of the story itself."
Wow! It's such good advice, it almost makes me want to dash off a few quick synopses, just for fun.
Almost... :-)

Funeral mass readings are an essential part of the funeral service. They will resonate well with friends and family that knew the person. Funeral readings can also bring about comfort for those that are deeply affected by the person's death.
Losing a loved one is a very difficult thing to go through. However, despite the grief, time must be spent planning the funeral and selecting the funeral mass readings. The readings that are spoken at the funeral are a significant part of the mass and will be appreciated by everyone attending.
In Catholic funerals there are three types of funeral mass readings: the first reading, the second reading and the Gospel. The first reading is always from the Old Testament while the second reading and Gospel should be derived from the New Testament.
Funeral Mass Readings
Funeral Mass First Readings
Isaiah 25: 6-9
"On this mountain the LORD of hosts will make for all peoples a feast of fat things, a feast of wine on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wine on the lees well refined. And he will destroy on this mountain the covering that is cast over all peoples, the veil that is spread over all nations. He will swallow up death for ever, and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from all faces, and the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth; for the LORD has spoken. It will be said on that day, "Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, that he might save us. This is the LORD; we have waited for him; let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.""
This excerpt says that the Lord will 'destroy death forever' and that when we join him there would be no more pain for in him we are saved.
Ecclesiastes: 3:1-7,11
"For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;"
"He has made everything beautiful in its time; also he has put eternity into man's mind, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end."
This is a beautiful verse that takes the shape of a hymn or a poem. It tells us that God has planned the appropriate time and cycle for every single event including death.
Wisdom. 3:1-9
"But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and no torment will ever touch them. In the eyes of the foolish they seemed to have died, and their departure was thought to be an affliction, and their going from us to be their destruction; but they are at peace. For though in the sight of men they were punished, their hope is full of immortality. Having been disciplined a little, they will receive great good, because God tested them and found them worthy of himself; like gold in the furnace he tried them, and like a sacrificial burnt offering he accepted them. In the time of their visitation they will shine forth, and will run like sparks through the stubble. They will govern nations and rule over peoples, and the Lord will reign over them for ever. Those who trust in him will understand truth, and the faithful will abide with him in love, because grace and mercy are upon his elect, and he watches over his holy ones."
This is a verse that speaks of the relief, comfort and glory that a man of God experiences once he passes away and joins the Lord. For in death they experience no pain and instead, if he has kept God's Commandments, they shall be lifted up as rulers of his kingdom.
Funeral Mass Second Readings
Corinthians 14: 7-12
"If even lifeless instruments, such as the flute or the harp, do not give distinct notes, how will any one know what is played? And if the bugle gives an indistinct sound, who will get ready for battle? So with yourselves; if you in a tongue utter speech that is not intelligible, how will any one know what is said? For you will be speaking into the air. There are doubtless many different languages in the world, and none is without meaning; but if I do not know the meaning of the language, I shall be a foreigner to the speaker and the speaker a foreigner to me. So with yourselves; since you are eager for manifestations of the Spirit, strive to excel in building up the church."
This tells us that in life and in death, we are still for the Lord. That we, at the end of our lives, would be asked to take account of it and that though we have passed away, we are still with him as his disciple.
Timothy 4: 6-8
"If you put these instructions before the brethren, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished on the words of the faith and of the good doctrine which you have followed. Have nothing to do with godless and silly myths. Train yourself in godliness; for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come."
This shows us how Paul has exemplified the life of a true follower of Christ and therefore he need not fear death.
Funeral Mass Gospel Readings
A funeral mass reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew (5: 1-12)
"Seeing the crowds, Jesus went up the hill. There he sat down and was joined by his disciples. Then he began to speak. This is what he taught them: Blessed are the poor in spirit; theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are the gentle; they shall have the earth as their heritage. Blessed are those who mourn; they shall be comforted. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for what is right; they shall be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful; they shall have mercy shown them. Blessed are the pure in heart; they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers; they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted in the cause of right; theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people abuse you and persecute you and speak all kinds of calumny against you on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven."
A funeral mass reading from the Holy Gospel according to John (14: 1-6)
"Jesus said to his disciples: "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God still, and trust in me. There are many rooms in my Father's house; if there were not, I should have told you. I am going now to prepare a place for you, and after I have gone and prepared you a place, I shall return to take you with me; so that where I am you may be too. You know the way to the place I am going." Thomas said, "Lord, we do not know where you are going, so how can we know the way?" Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one can come to the Father except through me.""
The funeral mass is an important event because it is part of how we say goodbye to the person that has left us. The friends and family of the deceased who want to pay their respects to their loved one, attend the funeral mass. Everyone wants to have a funeral that is as meaningful as possible, which encapsulates the life and memories of the person that has just left this earth. This includes the funeral mass readings that are selected to celebrate the life of the departed.
The funeral mass readings that you choose will make the ceremony more meaningful and help you pay tribute to your loved one. If you would like additional options, read our other articles on funeral readings that are listed below.

Gary Johnson will announce his candidacy in April, here's an excerpt from Politico:
Citizen activism and blogging make for a smaller political world than one may think: Last year I was in discussion with Governor Johnson's assistant, setting up a potential meet-and-greet or phone interview for LCR. Unfortunately it didn't pan out but I would still love to get the opportunity.
Gary Johnson will formally announce his candidacy for president in April while stumping in New Hampshire, an adviser told POLITICO.
The former New Mexico governor will skip the step of creating an exploratory committee, opting for an immediate start to his bid for the GOP nomination.
Also read: LCR friends Libertarian Patriot and the Humble Libertarian (who interviewed him here) are also a big fans of Johnson. Related discussion: Memeorandum.

For a while now I've struggled with questions like "Are you a soft or hard polytheist? What do you mean when you are panentheist, and isn't that just a cop out for people who have monotheist sympathies? How can you be in both your tradition and also be as influenced as you claim with the Hellenic Gods? Isn't feeling drawn to Gods from multiple cultures just appropriation and a bad habit? Isn't eclectic just a synonym for appropriation? How can you be a witch and worship the Hellenic Gods?" Quite frankly, many of these questions aren't ones that have been directly stated to me (hell, I've gotten very little direct badgering over my blog and, let's be honest, who would come to this tiny corner to insult me, and if they did why would I give a shit?) and are in fact questions I've been anticipating before I involved myself into any sort of serious discussion with the broader Pagan/polytheistic community. Particularly with the way that the Neo-Pagan flavor of things has gotten a very bad rap and the way that many polytheists and Pagans now shut down any of the influences drawn from the Neo-Pagan movement, I've been quite hesitant to involve myself with the community at large.
In some ways, dealing with these both inner and outer questions has been a major roadblock in my path. They lead to much inner skepticism that has made it at times impossible to fully throw myself into my practice and devotion to the gods and spirits. Yet, over time I think I'm finally beginning to conquer these questions, at least in my internal monologue. Whether or not these would prove satisfactory in communicating with a skeptical polytheist, Neo-pagan or anyone else is still remained to be seen, but quite frankly at this point I don't give a shit. I eventually do want to involve myself with the community at large. Although perhaps not at the moment (being barely able to function with school such a large part of my life) I think that I will be able to contribute to the Hellenic polytheist community. If all goes well I'll be graduating with a bachelors in Classical Civilization within the next two years, with a year and a half each in Greek and Latin (with my own private goals to continue studying the languages until I can translate the Theogony and Marcus's Meditations for myself, the latter a gift for my sweetheart) and then going on, I hope, to get my MLS and become a librarian. If anything, I have access to sources that many people can only dream of, being able to access a library of a top 20 (US rankings, not world) University with a Master's Graduate Program in Classics and a fairly thriving Undergraduate department (not trying to sound snobbish, but I have a goal to saturate myself with the academic study of both Classical religion, comparative religious studies and modern social and religious movements so that I can specifically be a better member of the community and help develop it so that, maybe when I'm old and gray, I can point my maybe existing in the future children to this time and show them the vast amount of progress we've made, instead of showing them to the mass of petty squabbles and internet cat fights that have been going on lately).
I realize that I want to share the strides I've made, mentally, about these questions-in part, because I usually do better with discussion than with purely internal monologue, and in part because I hope that they can stand up to base scrutiny and that, just maybe, they can help inspire others to critically examine their own cosmological views so that they can at least try to understand the notion of internal consistency (again, not to sound condescending, but I do notice a tendency towards inconsistency within individuals that I find to be a weak point in the state of both the larger Pagan/Neo-Pagan movement as a whole and in the respective smaller movements). I'll probably do this in a set of posts, since it is difficult to address all of what I want to mentally in a concise format. Already I'm over 700 words in this post alone, and I'd rather not create TL;DR monsters that make people skim over my blog like old milk- these are supposed to be serious examinations that could possibly provoke serious conversation, and even if it doesn't (considering the small scope of my blog thus far) I'd like to at least delude myself into thinking that they will have that potential. I'm off to campus soon, but I hope to post something later today with more specific substance.
Until then, enjoy this little fantastic bundle of awesome and let it make you have the most enormous smile today (even if people look at you like you are crazy!) (no seriously, I'm not kidding. Watch this and you will be skipping afterwards)-

WASHINGTON: President Barack Obama sees the deaths of 24 Pakistani soldiers in a North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) raid as a "tragedy", the White House said on Monday, but argued that crisis-wrecked US-Pakistani ties were vital to both sides.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said Obama believed Saturday's attack, which threw US-Pakistani ties into turmoil, was "a tragedy," adding that "we mourn those brave Pakistani service members that lost their lives."
"We take this matter very seriously," said Carney, adding that two inquiries by the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan and US Central Command would examine what took place.
"As for our relationship with Pakistan, it continues to be an important cooperative relationship that is also very complicated," Carney said.
"It is very much in America's national security interest to maintain a cooperative relationship with Pakistan because we have shared interests in the fight against terrorism," Carney said.
Pakistan earlier in the day vowed that there would no more be "business as usual" with the United States but stopped short of threatening to break the troubled alliance altogether.
(Read: No more business as usual between Pakistan and US, says Gilani)
To attend or not to attend the Bonn Conference
US State Department reacting over Pakistan's indication to reconsider attending the Bonn conference on Afghanistan, says the conference is in Pakistan's interest as well.
Addressing the press briefing at the State Department, spokesperson Mark Toner said that it was in Pakistan's interest to attend the conference as the conference's objective was to have a stable and secure Afghanistan.
In response to a question, Toner said "the US-Pakistan relationship has weathered many storms." He added that the US was continuing to talk to Pakistan, "we're stressing on this relationship and this relationship is in our shared national security interests."
Toner added that there would be two investigations carried out into the incident, but referred reporters back to the Department of Defense on when this inquiry would be completed.
He said that the US is showing its seriousness of purpose into investigating the incident. Toner said that the US was taking this very seriously.
The State Department spokesperson said that the US was concerned about the impact of this incident on the US-Pakistan relationship. He said that the US "recognizes that our cooperation with Pakistan has yielded tangible results. There have been challenges in this relationship and we want to work through it."
On Afghanistan-Pakistan relations, Toner said that both countries had a critical relationship and had a common enemy. He said that the real goal was to create a peaceful and prosperous Afghanistan that isn't threatened by extremists.
In response to a question on the new Pakistan ambassador to the US, Toner said that many at the State Department knew her and that the United States was looking forward to working with her.
Afghanistan sticks with "self-defense" theory on NATO airstrike
NATO and the United States are trying to limit fallout from the attack but Islamabad has shut vital supply routes to the 140,000 foreign troops serving in Afghanistan.
Pakistan called the strike "unprovoked," worsening US-Pakistani relations which were already in crisis after the killing in May of Osama bin Laden north of Islamabad by US special forces.
The Wall Street Journal, following a similar report by Britain's Guardian newspaper, cited three Afghan officials and one Western official as saying the air raid was called in to shield allied forces targeting Taliban fighters.
NATO and Afghan forces "were fired on from a Pakistani army base," the unnamed Western official told the Journal. "It was a defensive action."
An Afghan official said the Kabul government believes the fire came from the Pakistani military base – and not from insurgents. Afghan-Pakistani relations suffer from routine mutual recriminations.

So....our fall mantel. I kept it simple and used mostly all things that I already owned.
I placed some cotton that I got from work last year in a small thrifted brass vase.
The white pumpkins are plastic ones that I spray painted (also from last year).
The gold candlestick is last season Target and the felt leaf garland is another project from fall 2013 (excuse the awful pics from back then).
I just love the colors in this print. And at $1.50, it's hard to beat. I printed it on some card stock and popped it into a frame.
The bird in hand print is a postcard that Clare Elsaesser included in one of my orders from her Etsy shop.
Happy Fall, guys!

Top 5 Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Lainey. You get a new topic every Wednesday, and you list your Top 5 books related to that topic. If you'd like to take part, join the Goodreads group, and add your name to the list of bloggers & booktubers!
I love this months T5W topics and it's made me so excited for November! Today we're talking about something a little daunting…the longest books on my TBR. I have over 70 books on my physical TBR so I chose to go for that instead of my general TBR which has almost 300 books on.
The last book in Throne of Glass comes in at an impressive 980 pages! When I do get round to reading this series, it's going to take me a while.
Celebrate the tenth anniversary of Twilight! This special double-feature book includes the classic novel, Twilight, and a bold and surprising reimagining, Life and Death, by Stephenie Meyer.
Packaged as an oversize, jacketed hardcover "flip book," this edition features nearly 400 pages of new content as well as exquisite new back cover art. Readers will relish experiencing the deeply romantic and extraordinarily suspenseful love story of Bella and Edward through fresh eyes.
I'm not quite sure about the page count on this book as I think 780~ includes both Twilight and Life and Death. But it's hopefully coming up soon on my TBR either way.
City of Heavenly Fire comes in at 733 pages – and I'll be reading this series over my Christmas break from uni! I'm so excited.
Emma Carstairs is a warrior, a Shadowhunter, and the best in her generation. She lives for battle. Shoulder to shoulder with her parabatai, Julian Blackthorn, she patrols the streets of Los Angeles, where vampires party on the Sunset Strip, and faeries—the most powerful of supernatural creatures—teeter on the edge of open war with Shadowhunters. When the bodies of humans and faeries turn up murdered in the same way Emma's parents were when she was a child, an uneasy alliance is formed. This is Emma's chance for revenge—and Julian's chance to get back his brother Mark, who is being held prisoner by the faerie Courts. All Emma, Mark, and Julian have to do is solve the murders within two weeks…and before the murderer targets them.
Their search takes Emma from sea caves full of sorcery to a dark lottery where death is dispensed. And each clue she unravels uncovers more secrets. What has Julian been hiding from her all these years? Why does Shadowhunter Law forbid parabatai to fall in love? Who really killed her parents—and can she bear to know the truth?
Lady Midnight is 720 pages long, but my edition is a very large paperback so I'm sure the word count is through the roof!
And not far behind at 699, my edition of Lord of Shadows. I bet my copies of Queen of Air and Darkness will be similar!
I'm not going to lie, I always find big books daunting and leave them to the back of my TBR which is so bad of me! But I definitely need to fight my fear and pick some of these up soon.
May your shelves forever overflow with books! ☽

The cornerstone of developing into the world's leading cleaning specialist was laid in 1950 with the invention of Europe's first hot water high-pressure cleaner. When Alfred Kärcher died in 1959, his wife Irene continued her husband's life's work until her own death in 1989. Kärcher has remained a family-owned company to this day, headquartered in Winnenden near Stuttgart (Germany).

MCH1202 is telling you that by subtracting a longer variable size from the shorter variable size the result might be truncated.
I imagine the reason it works in your second example is that you are maxing out to the absolute length of the B value and also A is the same length which sort of "Fakes" the AS/400 into letting it know there's no loss of data. however if you use a smaller value, less then the full length the AS/400 is trying to let you know you may incure some loss of data during a computation.
In any case, while not always necessary, you might consider using the same field sizes whenever performing mathematical operations. use a temporary work field defined as the same size as your longest field and move the B value into it to avoid this conflict.

Q&A: HIPAA-related policies and regulation enforcement
Kate Borten answers users' HIPAA questions.
The security requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) often leave security managers scratching their heads in bewilderment. The enigmatic guidelines set forth frequently raise more questions than they answer, and the resulting misinformation complicates compliance efforts. In our expert webcast Security compliance -- Separating FUD from reality, part two: HIPAA, Kate Borten, president of The Marblehead Group Inc., sets the story straight and separates the truth from fiction. Here, Kate answers some of the questions submitted by listeners during the live broadcast.
Can you give an example of a qualitative or subjective method you've used to value patient health information (PHI)?
It may be more helpful to view PHI in the context of an information classification scheme – which every information security program should include. HIPAA defines PHI as confidential. Security is defined as the assurance of confidentiality, integrity and availability of protected information assets. On the confidentiality scale, an organization may define public data, private or corporate data, confidential data and highly confidential data. Each of these classifications should have its own appropriate set of access and handling controls. Typically, the "confidential" classification includes information such as PHI, payroll and employee data, some legal documents (such as a pending lawsuit), and sometimes business strategy planning documents.
Wireless users jeopardize the security measures of the larger hard-wired network infrastructure that they access. How does the healthcare institution handle the vulnerabilities posed by clinicians who create rogue access points?
Start by developing a reasonable wireless policy that supports the organization's mission but protects information assets. Be sure that the draft policy is reviewed by organization leadership, including at least one physician, to get buy-in. That policy should prohibit establishment of access points by anyone other than designated staff (security or IT) in order to ensure proper control and configuration in accord with the information security program. Develop written procedures for submitting and handling requests for wireless use. Then disseminate this new information through training mechanisms to all affected, particularly the physician community and any others likely to want wireless networking. Finally, monitor compliance through procedures such as periodic war driving.
If data from a healthcare facility is to be transferred to another facility that has a non-disclosure agreement in place, what means of encryption are available or required for CD/DVD-ROMs?
First, HIPAA's security rule does not absolutely require encryption in this case. This is an addressable specification, and each organization must determine whether encryption is an appropriate tool to mitigate risk. (Additionally, the rule does not specify what encryption algorithms to use and their minimum key lengths, but government Web sites such as csrc.nist.gov provide guidance.) However, I recommend using encryption in this case since a CD can easily fall into the wrong hands.
Second, if the two organizations routinely exchange confidential information via CDs, they should agree in advance and in writing on the selected encryption tool(s) and the method for exchanging keys. There are many products available for symmetric file encryption using widely accepted algorithms such as 3DES and AES.
Who or what governing body oversees and enforces HIPAA compliance? Who enforces compliance by the smaller healthcare entities such as group practices? The American Medical Association (AMA) states that for now, the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) oversees this process, not by proactively investigating but by responding to complaints to the OCR or Department of Justice. Is that what your experience/knowledge suggests?
The AMA statement is correct. It is a fact (written in the law) that enforcement of the HIPAA Administrative Simplification rules is complaint-driven only – and at least for the foreseeable future. Privacy rule complaints go to the U.S. Department's Health and Human Services' (HHS) Office for Civil Rights. The OCR handles civil penalties and refers potential criminal complaints to the Department of Justice. All other rules under Administrative Simplification, including the security rule, will be enforced by HHS' Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Office of HIPAA Standards. This is true of all "covered entities" large and small. There is no government agency or other body that officially audits proactively for HIPAA compliance.

The Body Shop Banana Shampoo
|The Body Shop Banana Shampoo
Today it is my first post and i'm going to review The Body Shop Banana Shampoo.I have tried many products from TBS and this is one of my all time favorite product from this brand.I have dry, dull and thin hair. I was using this shampoo two years back but then I don't know why I switched to Tressemme and Dove (may be because I get bored using the same shampoo again and again).

Our reading this week is from Alastair Shearer, a meditation teacher from the UK, in his introduction to his interpretation of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali:
Yoga is a way to restore our lost wholeness, our integrity as complete human beings, by unifying [our] personality around a centre that is silent, unbounded, spacious and joyful.
This week, notice any false beliefs you carry about your "brokenness". In noticing - and without judging - see if you can use them as pointers to return to your best, deepest or truest self.

Social Media Monday is a weekly feature that helps businesses and consumers understand how to use social media tools to their best advantage. This week, Teresa Siles, director of social media at Nuffer, Smith, Tucker, shares tips from last month's San Diego Social Media Symposium, which she co-founded. (Look for her on Twitter @tsiles.)
"If Twitter were around 25 years ago, the words 'Challenger,' 'explosion' and 'teacher' would be trending," said social media entrepreneur Peter Shankman at last month's San Diego Social Media Symposium. Shankman was making reference to the symposium's session date — Jan. 28 — the anniversary of the Challenger explosion, and the prominent role of social media today.
Twenty-five years later, as Shankman spoke, it was clear the world has changed, and as the crowd of nearly 200 demonstrated, organizations of all sectors and sizes are struggling to keep up with emerging technologies.
Shankman is probably best-known as founder of Help A Reporter Out, which matches reporters and bloggers with willing news sources. He offered his four rules for social media:
• Be transparent: Transparency is key to earning trust and building relationships. It's "the new black."
• Be relevant: Content is king, and in a fractured media world with so much vying for consumer attention, you need to give consumers the information they want and need. If you don't know what that is, ask them.
• Be brief: You have 2.7 seconds to get people's attention (think Twitter and text messaging), so brevity is key, and brevity is good writing. Bad writing can kill your business.
• Be top of mind: Social media is a long-term relationship building strategy, and small gestures like saying "Happy Birthday" to your friends on Facebook can go a long way to help you stay top of mind for your audiences. Reach out and say "hi" without wanting anything in return.
Other tips from seminar participants:
• Turn around a negative customer experience and you'll gain a fan. Sometimes you need to forget the brand and realize we're all people. — via Liz Philips, community strategist and manager, Hewlett-Packard.
• Good content is what will drive people to your page. — Beth Avant, founder, San Diego MOMfia.
• When you provide content, pay attention to feedback. Listen to your audience. — Jacob McKean, social media coordinator, Stone Brewing
• Every tweet is insight into how we can make things better. — Tracey Black, web center manager, Sharp HealthCare.
• Social media is a digital tailgate. — Joel Price, manager of new media, San Diego Chargers.
• Your audience drives your brand, which drives your content. — Karen Worley, creative content manager/marketing, San Diego Zoo

Lahore- Government has decided the final formula for negotiations with Imran Khan and is ready for re-elections in the said four constituencies.
According to media reports, government is ready for counting and re elections in four constituencies NA 110, NA 122, NA 125 and NA 154 as demanded by Khan.
The suggestions which Imran Khan will present in Election reforms committee will be accepted however his demand for PM's resignation is non-serious and his statement regarding this is undemocratic and would not be considered, sources said.
However regarding Tahir ul Qadri no leniency would be shown as Tahir-ul-Qadri is a foreign citizen and he will not be allowed to create anarchy in the country; he has no right to sabotage democracy and journey of progress in the name of revolution, sources said.
Government is thinking over putting Tahir-ul-Qadri's name in exit control list (ECL).

Discipline: Political Science
Theory underlying much liberal political thought.
There is a division between the public world of paid employment and public affairs, and the private world of the household or family.
For mainstream liberal theorists, the private world is the arena of free individual choice; for feminist and Marxist critics, the division is a sham which in fact sustains either class or gender inequalities.

Looking to start a part-time business but lack ideas and cash? We take a look at some cost-effective suggestions…
With life growing increasingly expensive, most people could do with some extra cash. Everything from property to the price of a pint feels more painful on the pocket, money not stretching quite so far as it used to.
It's against this backdrop that moonlighting has become noticeably more popular, a growing tide of 'five-to-niners' supplementing their earnings in the evenings. Elsewhere, faced by mounting fees there's evidence that Britain's students are getting more entrepreneurial - stats suggest that around 80% now work part-time.
As their enterprising spirit shows, there's plenty you can do to boost your income. So, without further ado, let's take a closer look at some low cost part-time business ideas…
- How to start a business in the UK in 7 steps
- Setting up a limited company in the UK: a step-by-step guide
- Contract of employment template - free download
- Do I need business insurance?
Part time business ideas without investment
First off, let's start with some of the most cost-effective ideas.
Recently, we looked at research that revealed the best industries for startups, and within that top ten there's a number of businesses that require little to no investment. Amongst them…
- Consultancy businesses (PR and marketing agencies, recruitment agencies, financial management)
- Office support businesses (telephone support, document preparation, specialised office support)
- Computer programming and consultancy (business and domestic software development, IT consultancy)
All you really need for any of these businesses is a laptop and a telephone, so if you've got the right skills and experience it's worth exploring where the opportunities lie. Explore free jobs boards like peopleperhour, as well as more industry-specific sites, and consider some free networking events to get your name out there. You might be surprised at how many people are looking for part-time support.
Part-time business ideas with low investment
A few months back we looked at how to start an online shop, stats suggesting that the UK sees £100bn spent online every year. A growing market with relatively few barriers to entry, online retail offers excellent opportunities - so what are some lucrative part-time business ideas?
Get crafty
If you've got some creative flair, Etsy could be an excellent platform to sell your wares. Everyone from part-time painters to part-time potters sell their goods on the site, which apparently sees around 2 billion visits every month. Listing fees are reasonable too, at around 14p per item.
Become an eBay entrepreneur
Remarkably, some Brits are making millions selling through eBay, their part-time pursuits becoming so successful they've taken to trading full-time. One man - Chinedu 'Ken' Emechebe, a successful electronics trader - now posts sales of £1.5 million per month, and tops the UK's "eBay Power 30". Check out the list in full here, and perhaps spark some ideas.
Set up your own site
Although slightly costlier and a little tougher than trading off an established online platform, setting up your own ecommerce site is still pretty cheap and may make you more profit in the long run. You'll avoid the fees that eBay and Etsy bring but you may need to spend more on SEO, as well as pay fees for your domain name and hosting service.
Possible to balance with full-time work and potentially profitable, online retail can be an attractive part-time prospect. Do bear in the mind the logistics, however, and factor them into any costs. You'll need to pay for posting and packaging for one, whilst online retail insurance is also important.
The most profitable part-time business ideas
So, what are the most profitable part-time business ideas?
Well, unfortunately there's no definitive answer but there are some questions you can ask yourself, such as…
- Can I run my part-time business from home and keep my overheads low?
- Is my product/service designed for a healthy and growing industry?
- Can I offer a better product/service than my current competitors?
If the answer to all of these is yes then you stand a good chance of being profitable. Consider your skills and tailor them to the opportunities out there, and you ought to be on your way to creating some lucrative part-time business ideas.
Do you run a successful part-time business? How did you come up with your idea? Tell us your story in the comments section.

Weighed in this morning at 162 pounds, down 2 pounds from yesterday.
Good news, I beat my weight loss goal for the week, which was 163 pounds by this morning's weigh in.
Yesterday I was supposed to be on the beef jerky diet, but decided to stay off.
Instead, I finally did some afternoon hiking. I went out to the desert, Anza Borrego Desert. I basically hiked up a wash. Actually, I drove my truck up most of the wash until it goes into a canyon, and gets too tight for the truck. Then I set out and hiked up the wash. Eventually, I get up to a mountain range, and then hiked up the mountains. I sat up there and enjoyed views of the valley.
But I still did a 2-mile jog in the morning before setting out.
All I ate yesterday was a serving of kefir in the morning with some strawberries. Then I had four bottles of Fruit2O (3 bottles before the hike, and 1 after). Then I had several grapes, and finally ended the evening with a bottle of lemon water.
That's pretty hardcore dieting and exercising for one day.
But I had a lot of fun hiking up the wash and climbing up the mountain. It reminded of the days when I was a kid and our family would camp out in Anza Borrego. It was pretty hot out there, but I don't mind the heat. It's that whole quiet and solitude of the desert that I like.

Unfortunately, The Chocolate Garage has closed.
The Happy Chocolate journey started over 12 years ago, with a trip to an isolated village in the Amazon river basin of Ecuador. While there, I saw the potential power cacao held to create more opportunities for locals to transform their own lives. For the better. For the long term. I started to use the term "Happy Chocolate" to represent the way forward that could not only engage the end taster in the magic of delicious chocolate, but care for all the hearts and hands that touched the cacao and chocolate on it's way to you! I started leading trips to visit cacao growers and chocolate makers, so that I can give you a glimpse into what Happy Chocolate can look like, how it can change lives, and how it can be a powerful tool to create change! If you can't come on a trip, you can still get a sense for what we learned and loved, watch our mini-documentaries to learn more. Here is Nicaragua, next up: Cuba!
You can also shop for Happy Chocolate right here, through The Chocolate Garage's online market. Or come see us in person in Palo Alto, CA, during our weekly Saturday Farmer's Market.
Please sign up for our Newsletter to learn about upcoming trips, tasty new bars, learn more about chocolate, and hear what we are up to as we work to bring change to this industry through transparency, caring and engaged tasters!

First, the good news: 90% of plantar fasciitis cases can be successfully resolved with simple, conservative treatments.
What's the bad news? The longer plantar fasciitis goes unaddressed, the longer the healing process takes and the more potential complications that may arise. Not allowing your arch enough rest time after an injury, continuing to participate in high-impact activities without proper footwear or support, and failing to follow through with at-home treatments are the most common ways plantar fasciitis persists and gets worse.
Click here to get the #1 plantar fasciitis inserts.
What are the risks for leaving plantar fasciitis untreated? And what other complications can arise as plantar fasciitis gets worse?
Plantar Tears
Over time, if plantar fasciitis is left untreated, the inflammation and stress to the plantar fascia can result in small tears. You may not be aware of the moment that these small tears appear, however you will notice your pain level gradually worsen. If these tears are left unaddressed, they may grow in size and number, and make the plantar fascia more vulnerable to rupture and debilitation.
Plantar Rupture
Plantar rupture can occur if plantar fasciitis is not addressed, and an individual continues to participate in activities that place a great deal of impact on the plantar fascia. These activities could include jogging, sports, or even standing for long periods of time in ill-fitting footwear.
Symptoms of plantar fascia rupture usually include a loud popping sound, followed by intense pain, bruising, and swelling in the foot. Putting weight on the affected foot will be very painful. If you suspect plantar rupture, you should seek medical help immediately. You will likely be required to wear a boot or crutches for a period of time after a ruptured plantar fascia.
Plantar Fibromatosis
Plantar fibromatosis is a condition in which benign, slow-growing nodules form along the plantar fascia. The nodules often grow slowly and undetected, followed by sudden, rapid growth. As time passes and the nodules grow, walking may become uncomfortable or painful.
While many cases of plantar fibromatosis are believed to be triggered by genetics, there is is a correlation between individuals with plantar fasciitis and individuals with plantar fibromatosis. Some researchers believe that plantar fibromatosis can be triggered by a tear in the fascia that is left untreated.
Heel Spurs
Heel spurs are one of the most common consequences of leaving plantar fasciitis untreated. In an attempt to protect the arch of your foot and mitigate damage, your body sends an army of cells to the site of the problem, which begins depositing calcium. Over time, these deposits can build up into sharp protrusions that dig into the fatty pad of the heel and cause a great deal of pain with each step.
Heel spurs can build up over several months' time without causing pain. In other words, allowing plantar fasciitis to go untreated may mean that a secondary problem brews unnoticed–until the sharp pain reappears.
Recognizing the symptoms of plantar fasciitis and treating this condition early is the best way to avoid secondary problems and complications. Think of the pain from developing plantar fasciitis as a warning, encouraging you to address the problem at hand before more damage occurs. Stretching, icing, and using special orthotic inserts are all effective ways to curb the damage from plantar fasciitis and begin healing.

The Highlights and Lowlights of Celeb Beauty This Week
What you won't find on this blog: Posts on how to replicate celebs' looks. Because guess what? They have teams of people making them look that way and you probably don't (no offense).
What you WILL find on this blog (starting now): A recap of the good, the bad, and the ugly (literally) in the celeb beauty world when I feel it's necessary (ie. when there's just too much not to address). I'll stay up 'til 4 a.m. reading Racked, Gawker, Glamour.com, Grazia, and Twitter so you can get your beauty sleep. Thank me later. And now presenting…
This week's HIGHLIGHTS:
1. Lady Gaga cites six reasons why you need a manicure on VMagazine.com and they are as follows:
1) Having a perfect manicure instantly makes you feel beautiful and clean.
2) You'll be ready for sex or to put a penis in your hand.
3) It's a way for you to express yourself (careful how you do that).
4) It forces you to see the importance of making time for yourself.
5) It boosts your self-esteem everyday.
6) It projects an image of success, which is good for biz.
I mean, I love how she preaches about self-esteem, business, and feeling clean, then BOOM, hits us with a HAND JOB. Well played, Gaga. And also…well said.
2. Badass Janelle Monae is named the latest Cover Girl right after badass Pink is named a Cover Girl. Out with Tyra and Taylor, in with the new.
This week's LOWLIGHTS:
1. Miley Cyrus gets high, then gets her hair cut.
I'm kidding, you guys. I have no proof that Miley was hitting the bong again, but this 'do is a tad extreme. Can you say teenage angst? Or rather, newly engaged angst? Honestly though, more power to her–it definitely makes a statement that says "Hannah Montana: go F yourself." I just think she could have posted like, 2 pics on Twitter rather than 647 and also refrained from a few of her self-obsessed tweets:
I also think if she really wanted to shock people, she could have gone with another hairstyle that she's familiar with…
2. Christina Aguilera learns about ombre hair/colorful highlights two to three years after everyone else.
Why so late to the hair game, Xtina? Been too busy being a man-hater, trying to upstage your own team on The Voice, searching for the worst stylists on the planet to dress you, and still blaming the "baby weight"? Okay, maybe that last one was a little harsh, but I'm not a fan of her and her self-obsession. But I will get her hooked up with a free pass to Flywheel if she wants it.
3. Nivea fires Rihanna for being a slut.
Now, I love Rihanna's music and "I don't give a f*ck attitude," but it turns out you can't post trampy thug, wasted-face pics on Twitter (like the above) and show up on red carpets looking like a dominatrix and/or barely wearing clothes when you're trying to be the face of a 100-year-old company with wholesome values. Whoopsie, Ri-Ri! Guess she'll have to find a new gig in a hopeless place.
Whew. Thanks to all these celebs for the entertainment. Oh right. That's their job.
'Til next time!
Join the conversation! 4 Comments
Thanks for the bright and shiney celeb beauty gossip on an otherwise crap-tastic morning 🙂 Love the new segment!
[…] World Wide Web for the best in pretty and funny so you don't have to. Last week we covered celeb beauty, and ever since that picture of Miley's horrendous interesting hairdo, I've had mane […]

In late August 2013, I had another residential school for my course, again down at Albury. Once again, I camped in much better birding areas nearby, this time staying at the Rutherglen Caravan Park, as Chiltern Caravan Park was flooded. I wasn't planning on any trip after the study this time, unlike every other time I've headed down for a residential school, so I had to make the most of the birding while I was there.
So I did. And it was glorious.
There were 2 main highlights – having one of the most amazing Turquoise Parrot experiences of my life, and getting reasonable views of a banded Regent Honeyeater.
Bartley's Block is easily my favourite, and probably one of the best, spots within the Chiltern-Mt. Pilot National Park. I never fail to have a good time there, and quite often, I also manage to see a boat load of birds, and the odd mammal. This trip was no different, and I managed to get down to Bartley's on just about every morning, including taking a group of birders from the course out for a morning, as well as a few random birders who tagged along for the morning. One of the highlights of Bartley's is that it is a pretty reliable site for Turquoise Parrot, unless you're taking people along with the promise of Turquoise Parrot. To be fair, I had photographed a pair checking out a hollow 2 days earlier (male above, female below), so that promise wasn't entirely misguided. And one of the party saw a pair when he went back to the cars for a rest as we went chasing more birds, so they were around.
Anyway – when I managed these photos, I was recording the squabbling of the resident White-browed Babblers, and as I was crouched down in the tussock grass recording, an explosion of colour came up from my right. It took a few seconds for me to register what had happened – it was a pair of Turq's that had flown up to check out the old hollow fence post/tree stump in front of me, about 10 meters away! Needless to say, I dropped my audio recording gear, grabbed the camera, and slowly made my way around to get a better shot of the entry to the hollow, which is what the male is sitting at in the shot above. They were initially aware I was there, but sitting quietly watching them, they went about their business and eventually disregarded me, before flying off to have a look at some other hollow. The whole experience lasted about 10 minutes, and is up there as one of the best wildlife/birding experiences I've had. Awesome stuff.
The other highlight was getting good views of a banded and radio tagged Regent Honeyeater near the intersection of Donchi Hill Road and the Chiltern-Rutherglen Road. Sure – it is kind of cheating a bit because they had tracked it there, and essentially we just got off the bus, stood around listening to Johnno from the recovery team talk about the program, and then the bird turned up, but it's always nice to see such a great bird. My previous photographic efforts involved pouring rain, and this one involved a howling gale that meant we had to wear hard-hats (there's probably not many sights nerdier than 20-odd birders standing around in the bush wearing hard-hats!), but I'm fairly happy with the results. This is a banded female that was released in April, when I was also down in the Chiltern area. Then I heard the birds flying around out near Magenta Mine, but couldn't see any.
Other birding highlights included a guided tour of several old Barking Owl nest sites that Iain Taylor monitored during a study he conducted several years ago, so now I know where to go looking for this species that I've put in many yards for down there, but despite hearing one once, never seeing them, lots of frog action, some good spotlighting, and the networking opportunities of meeting like-minded birders. I'm having the next year or 2 off from the course to pursue another couple of things, but I'll be back to complete the Diploma, after (hopefully) graduating with the Certificate in a few weeks time. As I said a couple of months ago, the Graduate Certificate/Diploma of Ornithology is a really good course, and while I've enjoyed it greatly, I'm really, really enjoying being able to go birding instead of reading about birds. There's still a chance I'll be Doctor Troy at some point. I'm also now able to write blog posts and catch up on processing photos, so that's also a big plus.
I'm still entering all my data, but I must've seen close to 160 species over the 10 days I was away. I'll update this when I've got the numbers, and post a list.

The proposed opening of a whisky distillery in Hawick is very exciting news for the town. Let us be honest – any new business that will create jobs can only be a good thing. I hope, therefore, that Scottish Borders Council's planning department get their finger out and the distillery application does not turn into a complete shambles like the Aldi one.

What is self love? I see a lot of emphasis on self love being about loving and embracing your body. About loving your body regardless of it's lumps and bumps and wobbly bits. I see lots of brands shamelessly playing on this and trying to self their 'stuff' to help you achieve this idea of 'self love'. As if by appearing more attractive by societies standards is meant to equate to self love. Capitalising on and trivialising something so important. Loving you body is great and important. Your body is exactly that 'your body' and therefore you are not your body meaning your body is not your self and therefor loving it is not self love. Loving your body is gratitude for being given something so wonderful to lead you through this life. If we judge our bodies by societies standards of beauty most of us are fucked. Most of us will never be happy with our bodies and this will serve as a constant distraction. If however we say "hold on a second my body is amazing because it allows me to run, jump, make babies, travel, hug my loved ones, help other people, do a job I love etc" then all of a sudden we stop needing our bodies to fit someone else's idea of beauty and realise that this body through which we experience life needs to be loved and celebrated. Love you body but don't mistake this for self love.
Self love is exactly what it says loving the self. Who and what is the self? The self is the perceiver of all things. Stay with me on this. We have the personality which isn't truly us. The personality is a collection of thoughts and beliefs through which we see the world. They shape what we see and experience and how we react to what we see and experience. The self has to be present for you to experience this life. There has to be a subject for a object to be seen. There has to be a self who says 'my body', 'my mind' to whom these elements of us belong. For example the cinema screen. It never changes. It's always just a plain screen. Many things play out on that screen and yet the screen stays the same. Never changing. The screen is the subject and the film is the object. We are the same. We experiencing emotions. Who experiences them? We experience pain who experiences it? We have thoughts. Who is seeing and hearing those thoughts? The self is. It sounds a little crazy at first I know because that what I thought the first time I heard this but then as I started to listen to my thoughts and watch the internal chatter carry on with me just observing it I realised I wasn't that chatter so then I had to be the self watching it happen. This is the single biggest discovery. Once we know this the game changes. Once we know this we can start to change things. The personality that has been shaped through years of experience and holding on to the positives and negatives of those experience to build a world view can be changed when we just change the way we think about things. For example I used to eat meat and diary. I truly saw nothing wrong with this. Now I am vegan and can confidently say I never want to touch meat or dairy again. By changing the way I look at the same situation my actions around it, my feeling towards it have completely changed. I used to pretend to be tough, strong and funny all the time to hide the fact I was super shy. As soon as I started telling the truth only about my life instead of pretending to be someone I thought I was meant to be all the thoughts and beliefs I had around this dropped away and I become more confident and open.
Self love is about this self that we truly are loving the self we portray out in the world (lets call that our outside self). This means loving the personality (outside self) when it is judgemental, depressed, egotistical and all the things a personality is. I don't know about you but I often get caught in my ego and argue with my boyfriend or just act like a bit of a dick. Sometimes I get caught in a 'poor Claira' cycle where life isn't fair. I forget who I truly am. Then when I become aware of my true self again I want to punish myself for failing to remember not to go into my story, my drama, my personality, my ego but this is a trap because this again is my egos way of making me feel sorry for myself and thus the cycle continues. Our true self loves us no matter what. We have become so disconnected from that love that we don't know it anymore so we go searching for it in other people, careers, family etc which often ends in disaster. If we develop this love we can remember that no matter how we are feeling or acting that we should be kind to our outside selves. We should love our outside selves. This is self love but there is another step.
The next step is about our outside selves loving our inside selves. A mutual love. This is true self love that unites and brings us closer to our true self and being our true self in all aspect of our life. This is the kind of love that fulfils all gaps and makes us feel whole. This is the love that no one can take from us and that we don't need anyone to give to us. It's a mutual love that flows both ways. Most people really aren't aware of this inside love. This voice that is our true inner guidance. When we were children we intuitively just listened to it. Then it got drowned out and now many people don't even know it exists. We have become so disconnected for the true self that we are. Self love is about rediscovering, learning and growing more and more. Once you establish that this true self is there you then can't go back. You then will be curious and have a longing to know more and discover more of who you truly are. That's what happened to me.
I send you love and blessings,
