We had scheduled for a 2 day, 1 night trip at Yosemite right before holiday time officially kicks in and before prices go crazy. We opted for the cheapest option – a heated tent at Camp Curry. Everyone I told was in shock that we would cheap out so much to live in a tent. But surprisingly and to our delight, it wasn't that bad at all if you just plan to simply sleep in it. It's a mini cabin size but has tent-like tarp walls instead of log cabin.
Originally we had intended to borrow a ZipCar which Matt signed up for shortly before we flew out to SF, however his account still had not validated in time for us to use. Thankfully, SF being most technologically advanced, they had an app made for borrowing cars! Getaround would allow you to search for cars (make, year, location parked, price) and once chosen with a start time, the app would allow you to unlock the car via WiFi, to enter the car and grab the physical keys!! How amazing is that?
Unfortunately this car did not come with a navigation system as expected so we navigated our way the old-school way, with a physical map. I'm horrible with directions but luckily for us the way to Yosemite wasn't too difficult to guide out. Though we did get lost a few times from missing our exit (one time being because I fell asleep and Matt didn't want to wake me up yet). However, the weather was not on our side for this trip. Bea always tells me how it never rains in SF and how they are in a drought…and the ONE day we go on a road trip, it rains all day. Our 5-6 hour drive ended up being around an 8 hour drive and we arrived quite late in the evening. We were so happy when we first saw the welcoming Yosemite sign :')
For a note, if you ever go to Yosemite in the winter, apparently tire tracks are a thing, and they may be required if there is snow. Although its quite temperate in the Bay area, it's chilly up in Yosemite! It wasn't cold enough that we needed the tracks, but snow was visible in the valley of Yosemite. Which makes total sense considering people ski up there too.
With the snow and rainy weather that was unexpected, we didn't really have the gear, nor the time to do any hikes – we initially wanted to do a day hike on both days. It rained the whole night as well, so the next morning we decided to just do a driving tour of Yosemite Valley and did a very small 20 minute hike to Lower Yosemite Falls – just to have met some landmark. I would also like to note that Arcteryx jackets are my new love, not only did it work amazingly in my Peru trip, it worked extremely well for the rain in SF. I have the Beta LT worn if anyone is curious..
Driving back to SF was progressively sunny though!
We stayed the night at Bea and Leander's and got to try Crawfish Fusion (similar to Boiling Crab in Las Vegas, and Captain's Boil in Toronto!) and played a bunch of board games. We got them Quantum for Christmas and everyone loves it. Though be cautioned that it can ruin relationships….
I'd definitely like to go back to Yosemite again sometime to do some actual hiking! And take better photos of course.

But let's be real as to why I made up this meme: I just want the opportunity to post something about Harry Potter.
This week, I wanted to talk about the visionary genius of J.K. Rowling. How so? Well, recently there have been a few news articles talking about some new inventions in the works... and they sound an awful lot like well known Harry Potter magical artifacts, Omnioculars and the Invisibility Cloak:
Breakthrough in the creation of a functional Invisibility Cloak:
To see these two inventions coming to life in reality after first being made popular by a fantasy fiction writer is so cool! And it really proves how visionary and forward thinking Jo was in making up her imaginative and sometimes whimsical magical inventions. I would love to own both of these (if I was a rich woman). I would also want to own an actual working broomstick so inventors need to get on that, please.
Are there any of J.K. Rowling's fantastical inventions that you would like to see come to life? I would love to know what you think in the comments!

Apple is holding its annual fall event on September 12, 2017 at the Steve Jobs Theater in Cupertino California. iPhone 8 (iPhone Pro), Apple Watch Series 3, Apple TV 4K, HomePod, and more could all be featured in the keynote, along with the final betas for iOS 11, macOS High Sierra, watchOS 4, and tvOS 11. Here's what we expect!
When will Apple hold the iPhone 8 Event?
September 12, 2017. Starts at 10 a.m. PT.
Where will Apple hold the iPhone 8 Event?
The Steve Jobs Theater at the brand new Apple Park campus in California.
Apple will be streaming the iPhone 8 event, right?
Absolutely, just like the company has done for the last few year. Come keynote time, just point your favorite Safari browser at:
Or load it up in the Special Event app on Apple TV.
Tell me about iPhone 8!
Rumor has it Apple will introduce not just two but three new iPhones this year:
- 4.7-inch iPhone
- 5.5-inch iPhone Plus
- All new iPhone Pro
The first two would be updates to the 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch iPhones we've enjoyed since iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus in 2014. New features for the duo are rumored to include glass backs for inductive charging, improved camera systems, ProMotion displays, and new mirror and copper finishes.
The third iPhone would be a new edge-to-edge OLED version that packs the bigger display into the smaller casing. New features are rumored to include Face ID facial identity scanner, wireless charging, and a much-improved camera system.
Read our full iPhone Pro rumor roundup
What about Apple Watch Series 3?
The original Apple Watch was shown off at the iPhone 6 event in September of 2014. What better time to show off Apple Watch Series 3 than at the iPhone event in September of 2017? Here's what we might get:
- Apple Watch Series 3 in 38mm and 42mm
- Apple Watch Series 3 (LTE) in 38mm and 42mm
LTE networking would make Apple Watch less dependent on iPhone. Streaming would hit the battery hard, but quickly transmitting data and then racing to sleep again could allow the same type of efficiencies Apple got with GPS last year. (Though some of us would still trade the feature for always on display...)
We should also see the continuation of Apple's successful partnerships, like Nike+ and Hermes, and a new fall collection of watch bands.
Read our full Apple Watch Series 3 rumor roundup
Any chance of Apple TV 4K?
Every chance! The original Apple TV debuted before the original iPhone. Apple TV 2 hit in 2010. Apple TV 3 in 2012. Apple TV 4 was announced at the September event of 2015. That means we could see an update as soon as this fall.
The biggest new feature, of course, would be 4K and HDR support. Which means iTunes 4K/HDR to go along with it. Hopefully that includes full-on Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos as well.
It would be a good match for the 10-bit HEVC (H.265) support — which allows for 4K HDR hardware acceleration — Apple has been adding to iOS and macOS, and the A-series processors.
Read our full Apple TV 4K rumor roundup
HomePod for sure, right?
HomePod is slated for release later this year in a very few, English-language countries. Since WWDC 2017 focused only on Apple Music and left any and all Siri demos for later, the September event is a great opportunity to show off the device again.
iMac Pro and... Mac mini?
Apple has already announced iMac Pro so, a brief reminder aside, it's tough to see the company going too far into the Mac lineup again, especially when September usually has iPhone and iOS devices in the spotlight.
Mac mini, though critically overdue for an update, would similarly distract from the event's narrative. Perhaps next year when the new, modular Mac Pro debuts?
And all the software?
All of it. Almost. WWDC 2017 saw the unveiling of the latest versions of almost all of Apple's software platforms:
Apple's also released a lower-profile beta for tvOS 11 (though we'll likely only see more on that when Apple TV 4K is shown off.) Then we should get Gold Master versions of the all the betas, along with any new hardware-specific features developers need to prepare for.
Any more things?
Apple can still surprise us. ResearchKit and CareKit, which have been near-miraculous for many in the industry, are two recent examples. That said, September events focus on iPhone, and iPhone remains Apple's biggest business.

Published at Wednesday, December 27th, 2017 - 14:18:52 PM. Bedding. By Darcel Leroux.
Always take your time reading through the description when buying online to determine what is included in the luxury bedding set you are thinking of buying. In most cases the set will include a duvet cover and matching pillow cases. A single cover will have one pillow case, while double or larger will come with two pillow cases. You will then need to find extra pillow cases and a sheet that matches your colour choice perfectly.
Two people sleeping in a King size bed will get the same amount of personal sleeping space as in a Twin bed. In fact, if you pushed two Extra-Long Twin beds together they'd be about the same size as an Eastern King. For great versatility in a guest room, if you have the floor space, use 2 extra long twin beds separately for singles or push them together to make a king bed for couples.

For healthy weight maintenance and cholesterol levels
Research indicates that Chitosan may:*
- Reduce the body's absorption of cholesterol in the foods we eat
- Support healthy cholesterol levels
- Support healthy circulation
What is Chitosan?
Chitosan is a form of dietary fiber that is most commonly derived from the hard outer shell of such sea creatures as shrimp, crabs, and other shellfish.
What does Chitosan do?
According to research, Chitosan may have the unique ability to bind to fats in the stomach, thus preventing the fats from being absorbed into the body. Scientists think this characteristic is linked to Chitosan's strong positive magnetic charge, which enables it to attract and bind to fats, which are negatively charged. The most common uses for Chitosan are for healthy weight maintenance and cholesterol health.*

Homeopathic physicians seek to treatment their sufferers on the physical, mental and emotional levels, and every treatment is tailor-made to a patient's particular person needs. And I have had homeopathic treatments work for me. Attempt some arnica the following time you assume you'll get a bad bruise. Some medical professionals add homeopathy to their existing fashion of practice while others practice solely homeopathic drugs. Plus, homeopathic remedies are safe for breastfeeding mothers and infants, with out a risk of damaging or dangerous unintended effects.
The legislation of similars states that a disease is cured by a medicine which creates signs just like these the patient is experiencing in a healthy person. Disenchanted with the dismal yield of typical drugs within the care of power illnesses, he turned to the exploration and thorough study of Alternative Medication. In some instances, the homeopathic medication does include traceable amounts of the original medicinal substance.
Increasing numbers of ladies are making use of homeopathy throughout labour and childbirth, and homeopathic treatment will be very useful after supply, or throughout breast-feeding. The outline includes, but is not limited to, information about the ingredient name, name synonym, description of the substance, preparation and homeopathic efficiency for various functions.
Duty in work or relationships can create debilitating anxiety and concern of failure, which can manifest in sexual difficulties, irritability, digestive complaints, and claustrophobia. At this dilution level you'd need to drink 8,000 gallons of water to get one molecule of the medicine — physically possible however implausible. An online degree doesn't result in instructor licensure in any state; online education schemes are not CAE or TEA or NCATE accredited which is a requirement for certification in some states. Homeopathic remedy — usually bashed by trendy scientific establishments and docs — basically falls beneath the holistic umbrella. No scientific proof supports its use; the theory of how homeopathy could work is past the realm of known physics; and governments worldwide are increasingly denying insurance coverage payments to cowl homeopathic remedy.

ADMISSIONS: Life as a Brain Surgeon by Henry Marsh
"Like DO NO HARM, Marsh's previous memoir, ADMISSIONS is 'wandering and ruminative, an overland trek through the doctor's anxieties and private shames,' our critic Jennifer Senior writes. Marsh once again recounts his miscalculations and surgical catastrophes; rails against the constraints of an increasingly depersonalized British health care system; and describes his operating theater in all of its Grand Guignol splendor." — New York Times Book Review (10 New Books We Recommend This Week, 10/12/17)

A compelling and important addition to any collection of personal narratives by women of color." — Library Journal, starred review
NASTY WOMEN: Feminism, Resistance, and Revolution in Trump's America, edited by Samhita Mukhopadhyay & Kate Harding
"Twenty-three influential and eloquent feminist writers of the twenty-first century have come together to create this searing and urgent collection.

Celebrities in Shock and Grief Over Mass Shootings at Orlando Gay Nightclub
What might have been another easygoing summer weekend was shattered with the news of a mass shooting at Pulse, an Orlando, Fl. gay nightclub. According to People, authorities are saying about 50 people have died and at least 53 are injured, after a gunman identified as Omar Mateen opened fire on the crowd in the early Sunday morning hours.
As authorities are still investigating the motive behind the shooting, hundreds have lined up to donate blood. Celebrities, meanwhile, have expressed an outpouring of grief.
Soccer player Alex Morgan, who is a forward for the Orlando Pride soccer team, was especially hit hard.
So heartbroken for our city. Thank you @OrlandoPolice and @orlandohealth for your tireless work. #staystrongOrlando #PrayforOrlando— Alex Morgan (@alexmorgan13) June 12, 2016
While others in the LBGT community and beyond were shocked and saddened by the massacre.
I am speechless, sick, and so sad reading the news from Orlando. Sending strength to my gay brothers and sisters. 50 people!!!! FIFTY— Andy Cohen (@Andy) June 12, 2016
How many people have to be killed before we act as a nation to #EndGunViolence? #Orlando @Everytown @MomsDemand https://t.co/UBeBearjF2— Julianne Moore (@_juliannemoore) June 12, 2016

Horrified by the mass shooting in Orlando. When will we do something to prevent these killing sprees?— John Legend (@johnlegend) June 12, 2016
It's been a dark weekend overall. The shooting takes place a day after news that The Voice star Christina Grimmie was killed in a fan meet and greet.
Our thoughts are with the families of both Grimmie and the victims of the Orlando, Fl. shooting.

For those of you living under a rock in a crater on the moon that haven't heard the news, there's been a tad bit of controversy over Anna Paquin, Alexander Skarsgård and Stephen Moyer's naked, blood soaked appearance on the new issue of Rolling Stone magazine. It seems people are offended – outraged – that such filth is allowed on the newsstand. Children could see it and have their minds warped forever. Ladies and gentleman – overt your eyes, plug your ears and cower in the basement. The actors from a television show known for pushing the gory, sexy envelope is out to corrupt your children. Or, perhaps, you could think more rationally. Is it really a big deal? It's just three people with a little syrup on them. I know this should really go without saying, but just because I feel some people are just that dumb, it isn't real blood. They're not even really naked. You don't see any naughty bits. It's implied that something improper is afoot, but that's implied in a lot of things.
Remember a time when Britney Spears was Miss. American Pie? She was fresh faced – sweet and innocent. The kind of role model kids could really look up to. I remember that. I remember that well. Why? Because her first big song, the song that launched her career, featured her dancing around in a school girl's outfit singing the words 'hit me baby one more time.' I didn't protest it. I didn't even skip buying the album because I was a teenage girl and that song was catchy as hell. What I didn't do was go run around school half naked asking the boys to 'show me how you want it to be'. There's a good reason I didn't do that even though the newest pop idol seemed to make it appear such a thing was a good idea. My mother taught me to have respect for myself and my body. Weird how that works, isn't it?
Fast forward a few years. That same sweet as pie, all-American girl appears on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine with a phone to her ear wearing a short skirt and her bra. People everywhere were outraged! How scandalous! How dreadful! This poor little girl being exploited to sell a few magazines! That is, of course, somehow different than that some girl being exploited to sell a few albums. Welcome to showbiz and selective moral outrage.
Britney Spears would again shock the world when she did a strip tease on national television and, shortly thereafter, appeared again on national TV wearing next to nothing with a snake dangled over her shoulders. Thus began the war between Britney and her then contemporary, Christina Aguilera to see who could put on the sluttiest show. Britney did the 'Slave 4 U' video. Christina did the 'Dirrrty' video. Christina took to Britney's turf as well and covered Rolling Stone wearing nothing but a strategically placed electric guitar. The world pretty much agreed that no one knew what happened to the two girls who once seemed so wholesome and innocent. Their attempts to look more grown up, edgier and more appealing to an audience over the age of 13 came across as looking desperate and a little sad. They were the popstar equivalent of the girl that gave hand jobs behind the gym at lunch time in high school. It was a shame, but that's the way the business is. Sometimes you try to have bite but you just wind up getting bitten.
Today, Christina Aguilera is still trying to shock us with over the top outfits and videos in a struggle to complete with the new reigning pop queen, Lady Gaga. Britney, on the other hand, actually managed to shock us, but not in any sort of conscious way. No, instead Britney shocked us by completely losing her marble, then again by pulling herself back together and launching a pretty damn impressive comeback. While Christina was the girl with more talent, it's Christina who's plummeting further and further down the charts while Britney holds steady. Herein lies my point. While sex may sell, shock sells a lot more. Combine the two and you've got nearly guaranteed success.
This, folks, brings us back to the True Blood Rolling Stone cover. Here's what I see. Three members of the cast of an incredibly popular show representing more or less what this show is all about – sex and blood. When Britney and Christina showed up on the cover of Rolling Stone wearing next to nothing, or in Christina's case, nothing, it was actually shocking. It's a bit of a different story with the True Blood cover.
True Blood is technically about vampires and all manner of other ghosts and ghouls interacting with humans, but really, it's all about the sex and the blood. I, personally, am not a fan of the show. Not because I find it offensive or anything like that. My problem with the show is that it's really nothing new. It's Twilight for grown-ups. Everything about the show is over the top and as much as I like the actors and actresses that make up the cast, particularly Ms. Paquin (now, Mrs. Moyer, I suppose), there isn't a single character on the show I don't want to hit with a shovel the second they appear on the screen. That said, I'm obviously missing the appeal as all of my friends love it and beg me to give it another shot. These are friends with great taste. Just can't get on board with this one. That said, I absolutely love the cover.
What the photographer has done with Stephen Moyer, Anna Paquin and Alexander Skarsgård in this picture is show you exactly what True Blood is. This picture gets to the heart of the matter. It isn't offensive. It's honest. It's open. It's, yes, shocking. What it isn't, however, is pornographic. The argument that this shouldn't be carried on newsstands is just flat out ridiculous. Many magazines features people nearly nude. Without four key factors – two breasts, a penis and a vagina – this picture simply cannot be considered pornographic.
Here's the real question. Is the controversy here about the nudity or the blood? More importantly, are either of those things even the problem? Dexter, another wildly popular show with an edgy subject matter, has been on several magazine covers drenched in blood. Many celebrities have taken it all off for photographers to be on the cover of magazines you find in the checkout lanes. Are the headlines on some of the tabloids in those checkout lanes any less disturbing than this picture? I think what really has people riled up about this picture is the fact that there are two naked men sandwiching a naked woman and what that implies. To that, I just have to say, your kids are going to see and hear all about this sort of thing regardless of whether they get the peak at this magazine or not and, if they have internet access, the naughty bits likely won't be covered when they find it.

You can experience indigestion when you drink coffee or from an underlying medical condition. Coffee increases stomach acid production, which could lead to indigestion as a normal side effect, or indigestion can occur as a result of gastroesophageal reflux disease, also called GERD. Your symptoms should not last more than a few hours. If your symptoms continue for more than a day or they continue to get worse, call your doctor. Coffee contains caffeine, a naturally occurring stimulant drug that could cause negative side effects when consumed in excess or ingested with certain medications.
Indigestion Definition
According to the National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse, indigestion commonly occurs among adults, sometimes on a daily basis. Most healthy adults experience indigestion on occasion, especially after overeating or eating spicy or highly acidic foods. Indigestion causes the feeling of fullness as you eat a meal, or the burning or pain that occurs in the upper portion of your abdomen. In some cases indigestion may cause bloating, gas and stomach pain. If you develop indigestion every time you drink coffee, you most likely have another medical condition causing the symptom.
Normal Side Effects
Because coffee contains a lot of caffeine, you may develop indigestion as a normal side effect. Caffeine affects your central nervous system and, as an ingredient in coffee, tea and chocolate, it increases stomach acid production. If you drink too much caffeine you can develop heartburn, stomach pain, diarrhea, belching, lightheadedness, nausea, vomiting, irritability and sleeplessness, according to Michigan State University. Cut your daily coffee consumption in half to see if that helps reduce your symptoms. People with a greater sensitivity to the acid and caffeine content of coffee may need to avoid the beverage.
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease
GERD causes stomach fluids to backwash into your esophagus. The main symptoms of GERD include burning in your throat, heartburn and nausea, according to PubMed Health. Certain foods can trigger GERD symptoms, such as drinking coffee or fruit juices and eating chocolate. Treatment for GERD includes over-the-counter antacids and other medications. Talk with your doctor before using any medication to treat a medical condition.
If you develop other symptoms, such as a headache, severe stomach pain and chest tightness, call your doctor. You may have an allergy or intolerance for one or more of the ingredients commonly found in flavored coffees, such as dairy, nut oils or gluten.

Six-year-old Jasir Lightfoot's nightmare makes perfect, sickening sense.
On July 27, his cousin Terrence "Terre" Adams walked to a store in East Germantown and never came back. The Parkway High senior was killed at a playground, say police, by a bullet that may have been meant for someone else.
A few nights later, Jasir - nicknamed "Little Terre" because the two boys were inseparable - wakes weeping.
"Jasir said that in the dream him and Terre was going to the store for ice cream," says his grandmother Lisa Lightfoot, "and they both got shot."
As the bewildered, grieving adults who loved Terre try to understand, the little ones seem especially lost.
Last Thursday, Tamir Garner, 4, is among those who crowded into Terre's Blakemore Street home to inscribe a pair of And 1 sneakers donated by community activist Sonny Hill's basketball league, where Terre had worked part time.
Tamir, Terre's nephew, eagerly grabs a marker. Then says sadly, "I can't make letters," and surrenders the shiny shoe.
At the teen's funeral, Sonny Hill describes Terre as a youth "who knew how to move in the right direction." Others remember him as a happy, generous young man who wanted to be a graphic artist, loved basketball, and had a soft spot for small children.
A favorite was nephew Marquan Washington. At the cemetery, the 8-year-old runs ahead of the coffin to confer with cemetery workers and to peer into the hole - as if casing the gravesite could afford him any control over the violence that passes for everyday life in Philadelphia these days.
As the coffin is lowered, Marquan stands between Jasir and Tamir, his arms draped protectively around their small shoulders.
Two hours after Terre was killed in a melee in which three others were shot, the mayor called for an end to the violence. It gave Terre's neighbor Eric Gates, 12, hope.
"I think the mayor should get all these guns and violence off the streets now," he says.
Eric shot hoops with Terre, and loved when the teen chased him.
"We always played like that," he says. "Until now."

Choosing the Best Running Hydration Pack
If you are doing a run of more than about 30 minutes, then it is important that you keep yourself hydrated. For runs only a little over this it is fine to just get through it, or to carry a small bottle of water. If you are running, regularly, for period of more than about 90 minutes then a hydration pack is a good idea as it is often the best way to spread the load of carrying water in a way that least inhibits your running.
Camelbak were for a long time the market leader in selling these items, but now there are a number of companies in this market providing very good kit.
Try to buy one which has wicking on the back so that you don't get too sweaty with it resting against your back.

The Deputy Prime Minister, who has taken temporary charge of Downing Street with David Cameron on holiday, said the Government had made its case as ''radical and reforming'' rather than producing the "insipid mush" some had predicted.
Speaking at a Town Hall-style event hosted by MSN.com in London, Mr Clegg was asked how he thought the coalition had performed in its first 100 days in power.
''I think many people felt that a coalition government by definition would be some sort of insipid mush, where different parties sort of haggle constantly with each other until they produce some lowest common denominator policies that do not really make a difference,'' he said.
''Actually, what we are finding out after after 100 days we are being accused of doing exactly the reverse, which is doing things too quickly, too fast, too radical, too reforming.
''I think that is a sign of a government - whether you agree with it or not - that has got a strong sense of purpose.''
Nevertheless, he said it would take the fixed five year duration of the Government to "sort things out" but added: "I think there is light at the end of the tunnel.
"There's so much gloomy news out around, I think there are some glimmers of better news.
"I hope when the five years are up people will see that we have taken difficult decisions, some controversial ones, some unpopular ones, but we have done it for the right reasons in order to get the economy right, get growth going again and give people a sense of hope for the future again."
He said the measures taken to bring down the deficit could not be "ducked" due to the economic turmoil in Europe and the pressure exerted by the markets.
It was also "morally wrong" to continue to build up debt.
"There's nothing fair or socially just about handing on debt from one generation to the next.
"Someone had to draw a line and say 'no, we're going to sort this out' because you can't create growth, you can't create a fair economy on the sands of debt."
One of the potential fault lines in the coalition is over the replacement of the Trident nuclear deterrent.
Mr Clegg said his views, opposing a like-for-like replacement, were well known.
"It's going to be difficult for someone who is going to receive less housing benefit because of the changes we are introducing to understand why, at the same time, we should spend huge, huge amounts of money in a hurry on replacing Trident in full."
Mr Clegg answered questions submitted over the internet on Twitter and email during the wide-ranging session.
He acknowledged that ministers may have failed to spell out the reasons behind the tough tax and spending measures contained in the Budget and acknowledged there had been lengthy deliberations within Government before the VAT hike was agreed.
The Deputy Prime Minister said: "I can assure you in lengthy, lengthy meetings we looked at so many different ways of trying to avoid this or do something different."
He added: "The Budget we produced, and I think it's one of the things that maybe we didn't communicate enough, was a very different budget to previous budgets.
"It wasn't a budget for six months, it wasn't a budget for a year, it was a budget for a parliament which included, yes, this VAT move at the beginning.
"It's not something we relished, far from it. It's not a comfortable decision to have to take at all.
"But I think if you put it in the context of all the other things we are going to do, we're trying to make this package as fair as we can and trying to make sure that we're not hitting frontline public services harder than would have to be the case if we don't do something like (raise) VAT."
On immigration, Mr Clegg said there was no "magic number" for the amount of migrants allowed to enter the UK.
The Government plans a cap on the number of non-European immigrants but Mr Clegg said a major focus should be placed on building confidence in the system.
"I don't think there's any magic number.
"I think it's a combination of things. I think you, as the Government has published in our coalition agreement, you put an upper limit to the overall number of people who come in from outside the European Union but much more important than that you've got to make sure that the immigration system has people's confidence and has people's trust."

My stock pick of the month is OTC ticker ACBFF : Aurora Cannabis. I chose Aurora because of the impending legalization of recreational marijuana use in Canada in October. Marijuana stocks are currently bullish with other heavy hitters like Canopy Growth and Tilray making huge gains over the last month.
As of September 17,2018 there has been rumors/whispers of Coca Cola being in talks with the company. The CCO of Aurora was recently interviewed on the Midas Letter & advised the company plans to list in the US in October which is good news and gives the company more legitimacy. Also, Aurora is currently under $8/share compared to the other major players like Canopy Growth which is $49/share and Tilray ,which I believe is way overvalued, at over $120/share. Aurora Cannabis has been acquiring many other companies in Canada and internationally in the last year looking to be a future mega force in the cannabis sector. At this time many are worried about the ACBFF stock being diluted due to multiple acquisitions meaning there is a high amount of floating shares. I understand the concern, it is a risky investment but as with the whole cannabis sector there is a chance of huge returns in the long term. Dilution is an issue but since it is a young market there is plenty of room for growth. It is also wise to remember that cannabis/marijuana isn't legal everywhere. It is legal in certain states in the United States of America but not on a federal level. There are also European countries that it is legal. There is future opportunities outside of Canada for when it becomes legalized in other countries. This allows them to have a head start on production. At this time, Aurora Cannabis is setting itself up to have a high production rate not just for recreational use but for medicinal use worldwide. Since it is still a new market/ young company future profits are purely speculative.

I do not know how many changes I had to make this year, but it was as if there was no problem at all!
I attempted to use a benefit software company several years ago to do benefit statements and the process was ridiculous; we even had to download a specific program to fill in our information! This process was very confusing and time consuming and we didn't have one specific person dedicated to our account. I appreciate the way your organization works and how efficiently they get things done."Tovah, FL"Our contact at BeneSync made producing the total compensation statements an enjoyable and fairly simple process.

It gives them a tangible thing to hold on to as a reminder of the great benefits we offer and the costs associated with those. They appreciate seeing their value in black and white and like to see how that value grows each year they get a new statement."Alexa, SC"We have been using HiddenPaycheck for several years now and each year the process get easier and easier. Their conscientious staff members are always on top of things. We could not be more pleased with the product."

The Biosmart project (www.biosmart.no) will establish knowledge and support for the development of a profitable and sustainable Norwegian bioeconomy, and especially for integration across the traditional sector barriers.
This report contributes to the project by presenting the status and recent trends in value added in the Norwegian bioeconomy. It introduces a classification system for the different segments of the bioeconomy based on official statistics and the industry classification system used by Statistics Norway, which also is compatible with the NACE system of Eurostat.
Value added for different bioeconomy industries for 2014 as well as development since 1970 is presented for the national level. It further includes how wage costs, operating surplus and subsidies varied across the bioeconomy sectors in 2014 and within them the latter years. The absolute and relative importance of the bioeconomy sectors in the Norwegian counties is also included.
The biggest bioeconomy sectors in Norway in terms of value added are Food products, beverages and tobacco, Agriculture, Aquaculture, Fisheries and Wood and wood products except furniture (from 2014 numbers). Wage costs, operating surplus and subsidies make up very different shares of value added in the industries.
All the industries have experienced considerable fluctuations in value added over the last four decades. However, the trends are in particular that Aquaculture and Fisheries have grown a lot. Forestry has also grown, as has Agriculture. Textiles, wearing apparel and leather goods is the sector that has a marked reduction in value added over time.
The value added in the nine bioeconomy sectors reported here made up 3.7 % of Norway's total value added in 2014. This is a lower bound for the value added of the Norwegian bioeconomy. Many sectors of the national accounts of Statistics Norway include both bioeconomy and non-bioeconomy industries and are therefore not included here. The bioeconomy sectors' value added differs a lot between the counties of Norway, both in sum and in what sectors that are dominating.

Salon de Notre Société loosely translates to Salon Of Our Company a collection of 400 affordable works of art by 40 artists all encapsulated in Primary Projects. The exhibition is overwhelming, difficult to focus on anything. Initially it feels like visual junk food with art from every conceivable medium jostling for attention or recognition. Whether this is a good thing is a matter of taste but it's the very picture of ambition.
Curators Books IIII Bischof, Chris Oh, and Typoe pay homage to 'outsiders,' they honor the raw talent of contemporary art by showcasing pieces one atop the other in a style reminiscent of 17th and 18th century exhibitions in France. The show is steeped in the historical reference of "Salon des Refusés" of Paris which was a reaction to the established institution of the 1600s and 1700s. Elitist institutions rejected artists who later became some of the most influential of that period, including Édouard Manet. This is the overall promise of the exhibition that these works will be given value and weight with the aid of time.
One needs adequate time to absorb every piece of work given the number of variables presented within its dimensions, however, it does deliver in excessive retinal delights. No one can declare that this is a boring show – far from it. It will be exciting to see what history will present for all of these artists in this Salon.
Participating artists include – Bask, Nick Arehart, Autumn Casey, Fernando Garcia, Lawrence Gipe, Lu Gold, Felice Grodon, Douglas Hoekzema, Boris Hoppek, Miru Kim, Nick Klein, Charles Krafft, Anthony Lister, Catalina Jaramillo, Michael Loveland, Jel Martinez, Stormie Mills, Emmett Moore, Edouard Nardon, Larry Newberry, Joe Cinnante, Sarah Newberry, Andrew Nigon, Jessy Nite, Jeffrey Noble, Lori Nozick, Brandon Opalka, Gustavo Oviedo, Kenton Parker, Christina Pettersson, Luis Pinto, Manny Prieres, Metro Zu, Nicholas Arehart, Melanie Ratcliff, Rebeca Raney, Evan Robarts, Johnny Robles, Jonathan Rockford, Samantha Salzinger, Shelter Serra, Scott Shannon, Magnus Sodamin, Karen Starosta-Gilinski, Cole Sternberg, Tatiana Suarez, Jill Weisberg, Antonia Wright and Noa Yafe.

Topic : Website launch marketing plan template.
Author : Seth Hale.
Published : Wed, Sep 18th 2019 18:02 PM.
Format : jpg/jpeg.
There is a generic template that is available for all types of businesses. To make a business plan template, you need to modify the standard template that is suitable for your industry and business. The style of writing, the overall organization and the presentation of the ideas is what makes a good business plan template. Creating a template involves a significant amount of research, re-thinking and planning. Detailed notes regarding the sources of information and the underlying assumptions that support the financial data and information must be kept carefully for quick and easy reference as and when needed.
Then, standard business plan templates typically have parts that need filling up. They are mostly about ratios of operation, marketing and strategy plans, cash flow statements, and balance sheets. In addition, executive summaries are extremely vital. And these may seem really difficult for individuals who have never transacted any business in the past. Fortunately, business plan templates will efficiently guide these individuals through each document.
Nevertheless, templates still make planning easier, as well as, save a lot of money. They are less expensive alternatives to actually hiring professionals to make planning business work. An individual can choose from the many types of available business plan templates. Aside from appealing designs, the suitability of the plan template to his business must also be taken into consideration. In other words, if his business is about crafts, then, a business template for baking will clearly not work. Similarly, if the operating system of his computer is Windows, he should select a template that is compatible with Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel.

The French company Shaktiware has just launched two camera rigs that automatically generate a 120MP HD View every hour. Francois from Shaktiware tells me that the robot camera scans the scene in about 2 minutes. This is followed by an automatic process that assembles the multiple source images and uploads the result to their servers.
- visit the Coll Blanc resort in Andorra: http://www.neos360.com/saetde/collblanc360/ or (access HD View directly)
- see a 360 view of the Punta Bagna gondola at Valfrejus ski resort in France: http://www.neos360.com/valfrejus/punta_bagna/ or (access HD View directly). You can also read the description on the Valfrejus resort site here (en Français).
I'm hoping to see more cameras from Shaktiware come online soon. If you're in that part of the world it would be fun to send us a message via the camera. Did anyone see the marriage proposal done on the time lapse camera at the Apple store in Manhattan (see here and here). Seems like you could do something similar with this setup – hold up a different sign at each camera position.

That's what it looks like to me, and that's been my experience as well. I have problems with porting 4.1.25 back to 4.0.x, but 4.1.24 for example has no problems.

Creating Waves of Awareness
I have seen many repertory teachers flattering the students by asking them to recite the chapters of Kent's Repertory in chronological order. Gone are those days!!!
Before you read this, first make an attempt to recite the chapters without referring the repertory. If you can do it easily, then you need not use this method.

Once, a little girl with a severe congenital defect consulted me for the treatment of some acute infection. During case taking, she pointing at my stethoscope, and somehow whispered in a low pitched voice (due to her defect): "Will you please give me this when you purchase a new one? Because I want to be a doctor!" Might be due to my sympathy to a girl with severe birth defect, I gave my old stethoscope to her. But I was little doubtful that she may not be able to go for higher studies.…Continue

You can sacrifice arcane spells or spell slots in order to make it harder to resist your jinxes.
Prerequisites: Arcane spellcaster, Halfling Jinx alternate racial trait.
Benefit: When you attempt to jinx a creature, you can expend one of your prepared arcane spells or available arcane spell slots to give your target a penalty on its jinx save equal to the level of the expended spell or spell slot. This does not alter the effect of the jinx, only the saving throw to resist the jinx.

As if the stresses of getting ready for your first fashion show aren't enough, imagine being six months pregnant.
Meet designer Vanessa Rocha, designer of Iemanjà Swimwear.
Rocha presented her summer 2011 collection at the Cosmopolitan Summer Splash on Wednesday night, sharing the runway with designers like Ashley Paige and Sergio Rossi.
And with her first show behind her, she knows if she can tackle fashion week, being a mommy/mogul is totally in her reach.
"I have received so much great advice from other designers," Rocha said. "They tell me that of course it's going to be hard being a mom in the fashion business, but it's far from impossible. As long as you have support, you're good."
And with bathing suits and babies on the brain, she admits that her baby bump hasn't stopped her from wearing even the tiniest of swimwear.
"I love bikinis -- I definitely still wear them every time I go to the beach. I think women's bodies are beautiful to begin with, so when she is pregnant, even more reason to show off her body."
And for any women out there looking for the perfect summer suit, pregnant or not, she has a few tips before heading into the dressing room.
"The real secret is to shop for your type of body, and for a suit to fit great, you have to try it on -- Never buy it right off the hanger, because you never know how it's going to look on you."
And most importantly she adds, "Just always love and flaunt whatever you got."

PLEASE NOTE: this was written last year and I would've published it sooner but I had to wait for the release of "Dear Diamond"
There has been a lot of talk around town about the visual effects industry. Without getting political and launching into my personal beliefs about tax incentives, runaway production, and corporate greed, I'd like to shine the spotlight on a talented artist who I've known a long time and have collaborated with on many occasions.
Jason R. Miller and his VFX company Skull Tree VFX are a great local resource for filmmakers in Los Angeles and around the world. As our latest collaboration proved, you don't ever need to be in the same room as your VFX artist to get a great end result. While this convenience is a blessing, it is also why great guys like Jason are running into way too much foreign competition for jobs.
A common misconception from audiences is that there are only effects shots in blockbuster monster flicks. Obviously "Life of Pi" required their wizardry, but many simple films utilize their artistry and technology to enhance what you see on screen.
For my latest collaboration with James Kapner and James T. Moore, we only had six days from officially getting the green light to when we rolled cameras. With such little prep time, we had many challenges. Thankfully, Jason came to our rescue in post-production to solve some of our issues.
There is a unique section of the venue with yellow walls and a giant white door. Because it is a functioning door, there is also an unsightly handle. Our great art department tried to cover it up, but nothing looked quite right. We had no choice but to go ahead and shoot the compromised shot. After Jason waved his magic wand over the frames, the door's true identity will never be questioned.
A majority of the video takes place in a giant warehouse. There wasn't enough time or money to dress the entire space so I was faced on a few set-ups to point my camera into the unsightly ceiling of the venue. The white walls were cause for major concern, but I knew that I could do a little magic with power windows once I got into color correction. My longtime colorist, Diego Petrusky, tried get it right, but it looked strange. We had all kinds of shapes in there but neither of us were particularly happy with the end result. Jason struck a wonderful balance between removing enough of the background that it wouldn't be distracting and not allowing the shot to look fake (Jamie feared that it would look like a composite if we cut her out of the shot completely).
The other contribution that Jason made to the "Dear Diamond" video is a solution to a technological shortcoming. When a CMOS sensor is subjected to a short and bright flash of light, chaos ensues. There is a character who yields an old style camera with large flash bulb and in the two takes that we did with her, only one of the takes rendered anything on the flash and it is ugly. The naturally captured effect of the flash on a different shot was pretty interesting, but we needed Jason to craft something from scratch to give our visuals some continuity. His attention to detail is astounding. If you go through the shot frame by frame, you'll notice that he has the chamber of the flash go through a 'cooling down period.'
I alluded to this at the top, but thanks to dropbox and fast internet connections, we never had to be in the same room for these small fixes. That is huge because it saved us all a lot of commuting time in this traffic-laced metropolis of ours. It also eased the difficulty in co-ordinating a time when all of our schedules would be collectively available.
In November of 2010, Jason directed second unit and the opening title sequence of the horror film, "Chillerama." We had a good time at the drive-in and I'm really impressed with what he was able to do with that footage when he switched roles and did all of the visual effects for the demanding feature. His directorial skills can also be seen on a much larger scale for his feature-film debut, "Unidentified". Coincidentally, the film became available on VOD this week so you have no excuse!
In the comments section below give your favorite VFX artist a public shout-out or at the very least send him or her an email reminding them how much you value their contribution to the craft. If you want to read more about the "Dear Diamond" video, then click here.

Fancy designs and distinctive prints do not get you anywhere when it comes to a good knife. What you really need is a solid design that is rugged, reliable, and useful, like this Black Steel Combat Knife. There is no muss and no fuss - just pure utility. This knife is every inch a rugged little survivor, featuring a utilitarian design that has been stripped down to the bare-bones essentials. This knife is constructed entirely from a single piece of blackened 440 stainless steel, giving it a hardly durability and a sleek black finish that is perfect for discreet ops. The blade features a classic drop point, which gives it plenty of strength and a blade made for cutting. The point is a bit less acute as a result, but is still plenty effective at piercing and thrusting, should the need arise. The knife has a small guard, while its full-tang hilt is wrapped completely in green cord to offer a secure and comfortable grip. The tail-ends of the cord-wrap are fed through a small hole in the hilt and tied off for use as a lanyard. The knife includes a nylon sheath, for easy carrying and storing. Small yet effective, this Black Steel Combat Knife is a rugged little blade that any survivalist could stand to carry, as it can be put to most tasks with shocking ease and efficiency.

Libya: UN envoy strongly condemns abduction of parliamentarian, calls for his immediate releaseJanuary 28, 2016
28 January 2016 – The most senior United Nations official in Libya today strongly condemned the abduction of a member of the House of Representatives, just days after a significant step forward in the quest to end the country's political divisions and armed conflict.
According to the UN, Mohamed al-Ra'id was abducted yesterday on his way to the airport after participating in a House of Representatives session in Tobruk, a port city on Libya's eastern Mediterranean coast.
"I am extremely upset by this unjustified and unacceptable act," said Martin Kobler, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General and head of the UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL), in a press release.
"I call on all influential actors to spare no effort to ensure his immediate and unconditional release. MP al-Ra'id should not pay the price for his courageous decision to uphold the national interest, risking his life to rejoin the House of Representatives in accordance with the Libyan Political Agreement," he added.
Last Monday, Mr. Kobler welcomed the endorsement, in principle, of the Libyan Political Agreement by the House of Representatives, taking note of the reservation of the House on an article related to the division of power.
The UN-brokered deal was signed last December in Morocco, agreeing to form a Government of National Accord with a Presidency Council, Cabinet, House of Representatives and State Council.
"We will continue consultations with all parties to find consensual solution to all outstanding issues," the Special Representative said in a press release.
He also took note of the House of Representatives' decision to refer back the list of the cabinet to the Presidency Council, and urged both them to take the necessary decisions as soon as possible.
UNSMIL was established in 2011 by the UN Security Council at the request of the Libyan authorities following six months of armed conflict to support the country's new transitional authorities in their post-conflict efforts. The four-year crisis has left nearly 2.4 million Libyans in desperate need of humanitarian aid.

How do I care for my Helmet Band-It?
Helmet Band-Its rarely will need much more than a gentle fluff, but in the event your band needs cleaning, we recommend professional dry clean only.
What if my Helmet Band-It is wet and not in need of cleaning?
Allow Helmet Band-It to air dry. Gently fluff with fingers or pet wire brush to restore to original condition.
What if my Helmet Band-It is loose on my helmet (which may only happen on a small youth helmet)?
The lining is designed to act like a Velcro loop. Apply front of Band-It as per instructions to Velcro strip on front of helmet. If Helmet Band-It is loose in back (which can happen with a small child's helmet) pinch the excess material on the band and press firmly onto Velcro strip at back of helmet. (Still looks great!)
What is your Return Policy?
If for any reason you're dissatisfied with your Helmet Band-It, you may return it for a full product refund within 30 days from ship date.
How do I size my Helmet Band-It?
All Helmet Band-Its are one size fits ALL, including helmets from youth to adult with adjustable Velcro stretch loop.
