So today my baby sister turns 16. I can't get over how much she's grown up, particularly in the last few years. She's turning into a "person" and is looking at colleges and all that stuff. It's fascinating and scary for me to watch as her big sister.
D, I remember what life was like for me at 16 and I know what life is like for me now 10 years later, so let me give you a bit of birthday guidance:
- The big dramas that seem really life changing and horrible now won't even be remembered in 10 years.
- Get out of Kentucky. Seriously. There's a whole wide world out there with loads of amazing places to visit, to live. Kentucky will always be there… you can always go back. But get out.
- Don't worry about the future or about bad things happening. Whatever will be, will be… you can't change that you can only experience it and move on from it.
- Take chances on people, on situations, on hunches. If you're wrong, you learn from it. And if you're right, it was worth it.
- Choose your friends wisely, always. The really good ones will have your back, no matter what.
- As you get older, your idea of fun will change. Friday nights in will be more attractive than a night out.
- Drink lots of water. It's good for your skin, your body, your mood.
- Exercise. Even if it's just a walk down the road.
- Don't waste more than 50 pages on a bad book. Life is way too short and there are too many amazing books out there.
- Love will find you… you don't need to actively search for it. It'll be unexpected and beautiful, but it will find you. Love back, hard.
- "You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should." – Desiderata © Max Ehrmann 1927
Wow, that all sounded a bit like Baz Luhrmann's Everybody's Free to Wear Sunscreen speech. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this 90s gem of positivity:
Full lyrics are here.
Ah geeze. Now that I'm older, that makes me a bit teary eyed because my goodness it's true.
Happy 16th birthday, D… I hope your year is as brilliant and as gorgeous as you are.

Axis Shift necesitaba un nuevo diseño de app y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 4 diseños de 1 diseñadores freelance.
Simple to play arcade game with a Clash of Clans theme featuring a character inspired from Clash of Clans.
The gameplay features multiple copies of a character bouncing around the screen. Players must tap on an area of the screen and this will create a blast radius, which will result in characters clashing with this blast radius. Once the clash, the blast radius expands. Players earn points for the numbers of characters that enter the blast radius. Each blast new bast radius lasts a maximum of 3 seconds, so the objective of the game is to capture as many clan members in your blast radius.
The game will feature one background, but as levels progress obstacles will appear in the level reducing the flow of clan members, making the task increasingly difficult.
The game is based on a re-skin of Zombie Reaction - a video of this game can be seen here :- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JH_xq6I5RM
Game visuals will be inspired by clash of clans and the environment and character will need to resemble (not directly copy) elements from this game.
Sample inspiration can be drawn from the following games:-
Clash of Tribes - Clan Kingdom Frenzy
Screen 1- Main gameplay screen.
Initially main gameplay screen will display menu & buttons (with clan character moving in background of screen). Once player makes start game selection, the menu buttons will disappear, a target number of clan members required to complete the level will be displayed and then from there the game will begin.
All gameplay and menu buttons will utilize the same background screen.
Please review Zombie Reaction available from the link here in order to understand the graphical requirements and workflow of the app as Clash of Tribes - Clan Kingdom Frenzy will be a re-skin of this code :-
I have uploaded the number of assets that will need to be re-skinned to reflect the Clash of Tribes - Clan Kingdom Frenzy theme. There are 25 art elements in total.

Giorgi Baramidze (Georgian: გიორგი ბარამიძე, born January 5, 1968) is a Georgian politician who served as Vice-Prime Minister of Georgia and State Minister for Euro-Atlantic Integration from 2004 to 2012. On October 21, 2012, he was elected as a vice-speaker of the Parliament of Georgia.
Early life[edit]
Baramidze was born on January 5, 1968, in Tbilisi, Georgia. He graduated from the Department of Chemical Technologies of the Georgian Technical University in 1992. While at the university, he was a co-founder and one of leaders of the student movement. In 1990, he joined forces with other activists establishing and leading Green Party of Georgia. Following graduation from the university in 1992, he worked as the head of a department at the Committee of Human Rights and National Minorities. In 1995, he graduated from George C. Marshall Center for European Security Studies and Defense Economics in Garmisch, Germany.[2]
After start of the military operations in Abkhazia in 1992, he became the head of Green Party Humanitarian Aid Office where he oversaw provision of humanitarian supplies, evacuation of peaceful population from the occupied territories and liberation of Georgian hostages. He's credited with freeing of 200 Georgian prisoners and facilitating rescue of 3,000 Georgian civilians who fled the conflict zone.[3] He later participated in combat operations in Labra village of Ochamchire district and around Sukhumi.[2]
Political career[edit]
Member of Parliament[edit]
In 1992, Baramidze was elected to the Parliament of Georgia and served as the Secretary for Commission of Human Rights and National Minorities and as member of Parliamentary Defense and Security Commission. He was also elected a member of the State Coordination Commission of Georgia's participation in NATO Partnership for Peace Program (PFP). In 1995, he was one of co-founders of Eduard Shevardnadze's Union of Citizens of Georgia Party and was elected its deputy chairman, acting as Secretary General of the party from 1995 through 1996.
In the 1995 parliamentary elections, he was elected from Didube district of Tbilisi. In 1996, he was elected Chairman of Investigation Commission of Parliamentary Anti-Corruption Committee. As a result of anti-corruption activities, he masterminded to have the following several ministers resign, D. Gulua (Minister of Agriculture), P. Injia (Minister of Communications and Postage), D. Zubitashvili (Minister of Energy), D. Iakobidze (Minister of Finance) and D. Eliashvili (Chairman of Department of Gas of Georgia) among them.
In 1996, Baramidze was elected chairman of the parliamentary faction of Union of Citizens of Georgia. A year later, he started joint Georgian government-UNDP program on Corruption Investigation Center becoming its first director.
From 1998 through 1999, Baramidze worked as an Associate Researcher at Institute for the Study of Diplomacy of Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., conducting research on U.S. government policy, structures and functions as well as on political, military and defense issues in Caucasus. In 1999, he worked with Senator Carl Levin in the United States Senate Committee on Armed Services.
Upon his return to Georgia in 1999, he was re-elected to the parliament from Didube district and elected Chairman of Defence and Security Committee in 2000 and Chairman of Faction of the United Democrats of Parliament of Georgia in 2002, subsequently playing an active role in the Rose Revolution in November 2003. In 2003 parliamentary elections, Baramidze was re-elected from the same district of Tbilisi.
Ministerial positions[edit]
With the new government in power in late 2003, he was appointed Minister of Internal Affairs of Georgia.
He was seen as a member of the government faction grouped around the then Prime Minister (and Rose Revolution leader) Zurab Zhvania[4] that were seen to be in opposition to the President Mikheil Saakashvili. As such he publicly cast doubt upon the official explanation for Zhvania's death due to carbon monoxide poisoning and instead appeared to endorse the possibility of foul play stating "none of the versions [of explanation for his death] should be ruled out."[5]
In June 2004, he was appointed Minister of Defense replacing Gela Bezhuashvili. In December 2004, some sixty servicemen went AWOL and rallied outside the Human Rights Ombudsman's Office to demand better social conditions in the army. The former military Ombudsman, Irakli Sesiashvili said that while Baramidze was in charge "these soldiers have not taken a bath for two months; there is not enough food. Over the last two months, they have eaten meat only a few times. The soldiers do not even have cold water regularly. Heating equipment has been installed, but there is no fuel… all of these Ministers care more about repairing their offices and purchasing new jeeps."[6]
In December 2004, he was moved to the post of Vice Premier and State Minister for Euro-Atlantic Integration.[7]
Return to the Parliament[edit]
In August 2012, Baramdize resigned from his government position in order to run as the United National Movement's majoritarian candidate in Batumi in the 2012 parliamentary election.[8] The election saw the defeat of the UNM by the Georgian Dream coalition and Baramidze lost the Batumi race, but he obtained a seat in the new parliament through a party list. On October 21, 2012, he was elected as one of the vice-speakers of the Parliament of Georgia, representing the parliamentary minority.[9]
In June 2013, the UNM named Baramidze as one of the four candidates for the party's presidential primaries.[10][11]
Personal life[edit]
Baramidze speaks Georgian, English, Russian and French. He is divorced. Baramidze has one daughter, Ann.[2]

Polish retail sales grew 3.7% y/y in constant prices in June, the statistics office GUS said on July 19.
The reading marks a slowdown of 1.9pp in retail turnover growth in comparison to y/y expansion recorded in May. The reduction is a result of the calendar effect, Erste says. "The unusual negative calendar affect and earlier start of the holiday season had a negative impact on the June figure," the Austrian bank said.
Still, the expansion in June is in line with Polish households' general inclination towards increased consumption, driven by the good situation on the labour market, as manifested by low unemployment and growing wages.
The June slowdown in growth of retail sales turnover is "unlikely to mark the start of a sustained slowdown," Capital Economics said.
"This looks to be temporary and we expect robust wage growth alongside a fiscal stimulus equivalent to 2% of GDP which is focussed on households to support consumer spending this year," Capital Economics said.
Poland's GDP growth came in at 5.1% y/y in 2018, the fastest expansion in over a decade. The economy also expanded 4.7% y/y in the first quarter in adjusted and non-adjusted terms alike in a show of resilience amidst the worsening of the external environment.
All but three retail segments expanded y/y sales in constant prices in June, GUS data showed. Sales of textiles, clothing, and shoes grew 12.9% y/y while sales of furniture, audio and video equipment, and domestic appliances increased 8.9% y/y. Sales of food, drinks, and tobacco products declined 1.5% y/y. Fuels sales grew 2.9% y/y.
In monthly terms, retail sales gained 1.6% in constant prices in June. In current prices, retail sales grew 5.3% y/y versus an expansion of 7.3% y/y in May. In monthly terms in current prices, sales grew 1.5% compared to a fall of 3% m/m in May.
In January-June, retail sales grew 6.2% y/y in constant prices and 7.5% y/y in current prices.

Nobody's Story: The Vanishing Acts of Women Writers in the Marketplace, 1670-1820
Nobody's Story: The Vanishing Acts of Women Writers in the Marketplace, 1670-1820
I was strongly advised against calling this book "Nobody's Story" because the title, it was feared, would suggest exactly the sort of study this is not: one lamenting the unjust absence of women from the eighteenth-century literary canon. Let it be known at the outset, therefore, that the "nobodies" of my title are not ignored, silenced, erased, or anonymous women. Instead, they are literal nobodies: authorial personae, printed books, scandalous allegories, intellectual property rights, literary reputations, incomes, debts, and fictional characters. They are the exchangeable tokens of modern authorship that allowed increasing numbers of women writers to thrive as the eighteenth century wore on.
Nobody was not on my mind when I began this study. Noticing that the appearance of what was called "female authorship" in the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries coincided with the appearance of a literary marketplace, I set out to show that many women writers emphasized their femininity to gain financial advantage and that, in the process, they invented and popularized numerous ingenious similarities between their gender and their occupation. Far from disavowing remunerative authorship as unfeminine, they relentlessly embraced and feminized it. And, far from creating only minor and forgettable variations on an essentially masculine figure, they delineated crucial features of "the author" for the period in general by emphasizing their trials and triumphs in the marketplace. This book, in short, began by describing the reciprocal shaping of the terms "woman," "author," and "marketplace."
At the outset, my objective was to show the extreme plasticity of these terms as well as their interrelations. I was inspired by studies in the history of sexuality, which point to the mid-eighteenth century as a watershed of European discourse on the topics of sexuality and gender, a time when the very meaning of "woman . . ."

Your comment cracked me up! The other day the "birds" started chirping and our 11 year old asked his Dad "what is that?" and he replied "sounds like birds" so our son started whistling and the bird kept "answering" him back. He was so excited as he walked around the house trying to figure which window the bird was perched on. I didn't have the heart to tell him it was my blog. A few days later he figured it out and turned red in the face!
and yes, I agree, your son is talented...and it sounds like you are, too!

The (King James) Bible itself is composed of 39 books in the old testament and 27 in the new. These being divided topically into:
The Torah (Pentateuch) - 5
Historical Books - 12
Wisdom Literature - 5
The Major Prophets - 5
The Minor Prophets - 12
The Apostolic Gospels & Acts - 5
The Epistles - 21
Apocalyptic - 1
**Notice the symmetry of 5-12-5, 5-12-5 capped off at the end of the age by the book of Revelation. Notice also the propensity of the number 7 throughout the structure. For example, the difference between 12 and 5, in 4 sections, the number of epistles that are perfectly divisible by 7, leaving the Apocalyptic book of Revelation as the odd one out. Again there are 7 major topics, if we leave the odd book of Revelation out. There is an integral mathematical symmetry and design through out the whole Bible as a collection, that is truly mind blowing (revealed to this author circa October 2014).** This permeates through the Hebrew, Aramaic and the Koine Greek language Bible. Jehovah thus proves his Word through mathematical complexity which even the most powerful computers in the world would not be able to calculate if they were millions of times more powerful. Take note that chapters and verses were not instituted till the 5th century for the New Testament.
Roman Catholic Bibles have 73 books, 46 in the Old Testament and 27 in the New Testament. Protestant Bibles have 66 books with only 39 in the Old Testament. The books removed from the Protestant Bibles are Tobit, Judith, Baruch, Wisdom, Sirach, 1 and 2 Maccabees, and parts of Esther and Daniel. They are called the 'Deuterocanonicals' by Catholics and 'Apocrypha' by Protestants. Martin Luther removed those seven books and placed them in an appendix during the reformation.
Hellenistic Greek was the language du jour during the time of Christ. This was due to the fact that Alexander the Great had conquered the region several hundred years before. We infer that Christ was fluent in Hebrew and Aramaic (since fluency in these languages were needed to read the Torah in the Temple) as well as Hellenistic Greek.
The Hebrew language was on its way out, and there was a critical need for a translation of the Hebrew Old Testament for dispersed Greek speaking Iverites. This translation, called the Septuagint, or LXX, was completed by Judaistic scholars in about 148 B.C. and it had all of the books, including the seven removed by Martin Luther over 1650 years later. The New Testament has about 350 references to Old Testament verses. By careful examination, scholars have determined that 300 of these are from the Septuagint and the rest are from the Hebrew Old Testament. They have shown that Yeshua Christos Himself, quoted from the Septuagint. Early Christians used the Septuagint to support Christian teachings.
For the first 300 years of Christianity, there was no Bible as we know it today. Christians had the Old Testament Septuagint, and literally hundreds of other books from which to choose. The Catholic Church realized early on that she had to decide which of these books were inspired and which ones weren't. In concurrence with the opinion of St. Augustine, Pope St. Damasus I, at the Council of Rome in 382, issued a decree appropriately called, "The Decree of Damasus", in which he listed the canonical books of both the Old and New Testaments. He then asked St. Jerome to use this canon and to write a new Bible translation which included an Old Testament of 46 books, which were all in the Septuagint, and a New Testament of 27 books.

This was just written, Gentle Reader, this very minute. There was a lengthy process that took hours that I used, and I'm not really certain how I feel about this piece just at the moment, or if it was worth it. Nonetheless, here it is. It will doubtless be polished and edited later, but here it is, rough and unnamed.You're old enough to lie, aren't you, darling? It's life at all that's so hard: In the uninhabitable hours, I dally with my memories of you, Then I put on a veil, blow out the candle, and hide on the chaise – Sometimes, it's necessary to lounge in evening clothes all day. I want to arise, like a libertine angel, covered in cloud and in fire; My heart was not gnawed by a specific tiger, my love. There are days when I hardly speak; I will frequently take vows of silence that are broken within an hour. The ghost of Yeats will not leave me alone, today, And I can think of no better way to die than a bathtub of champagne: My sorrows, apparently, are survivors – why won't we drown? The secret ingredient is my blood; it tastes of cocktail music. I had a dream, of the Emperor and Empress of Brazil; We discovered a hamlet drowned in years, at the foot of an active volcano. I had a strange desire to replace my teeth with carved ivory, and with the unfertilized eggs of a dead woman. In the uninhabitable hours, my love, I grow frustrated by the intersection of our madness. The ghosts of our surviving sorrows, and our dreams, buried in an antique child-sized casket, Are covered in cloud and fire. You're old enough to lie, aren't you, darling? It's life at all that's so hard.

This guy's CV isn't a regular list of achievements.
Rather than blow his own trumpet, Jeff Scardino chose to send off a CV detailing his failures instead.
In it he lists his education as 'pissing off a few art directors' and dating a 'free-spirited girl who ruined' his third year.
Rather than list his skills, he lists his weaknesses including 'difficulty remembering names' and 'could be more punctual'.
Under experience, he lists getting 'eaten alive by bed bugs' and not getting hired after a brief stint as an intern for Droga5.
And the surprising thing? It drew more responses than his regular CV.
Jeff, an advertising executive, sent off two applications to 10 different companies – one with his regular CV, the other with his honest CV.
He received one response for the regular CV and no meeting requests, while with the honest CV he received eight responses and five meeting requests.
One employer told him:
When I read your cover letter, I thought it was a joke. But after looking at your resume I'm really impressed with your honesty. I've never seen anything like this. I wish more people would send me a resume like this.
To download your own template of the honest CV check out Jeff's website here.

Here is the basic camera equipment I recommend for real estate agents to begin using video effectively in their business.
- Your Smart phone camera.
- Rode Lavalier Microphone
- Smartphone holder/mount: MeFoto
- Tripod
- Small portable tripod
- Studio lights
Watch the video for more details and ideas. There are many options depending on your budget and expertise. My main recommendation is start simple…and most importantly, just start.
Last week, I did a video on the importance and the absolute essentiality of using video as a real estate agent. If you're going to be relevant in the future of the industry, video is not only the future, but video is the present. I've gotten so many great comments and feedback from you guys, both in the video blog and on the YouTube video, where you've asked for more information, with questions like, "What should I be shooting video of?" and "What kind of equipment do I need?", and so forth. I said, "Hey, you need a smartphone and that's about it." But, to really get going, what else do I need?
On this video, I'm going to talk about the basics of what equipment you can invest in that will really set you up to do anything you want to do as a real estate agent. I'm going to give you the basics and some different options and so forth that you can start with.
First, obviously, is starting with a good video camera. I'm going to highly recommend that you not, unless you're planning to get really advanced in video, that you just use your smartphone. Whether it's an iPhone or a Samsung, a smartphone ... The video camera capabilities that these guys have today is better than the best, most expensive video camera was, or comparable to the best video cameras 10 years ago. This camera, the video quality in it, is absolutely phenomenal.
What you do want to pay attention to is the audio quality. The built-in microphone in this is pretty good in an office, in a quiet environment. So, if I'm shooting a video in my office, there's no other sound around, then I may just use the built-in microphone. However, whenever there's any other background noise or there's a possibility of it, or I really want a better audio quality, then I'm going to recommend that you get an external mic. The external mic that I recommend and that I use is the Rode, R-O-D-E, wired lavaliere mic. It's just a little microphone, just like that. It's a Rode mic.
I'm going to post the links to everything I'm going to recommend and show you today. I'm going to post the links down in the description of the video so that you can click on the links and get them. Everything that I have, I got directly off Amazon, so it's a piece of cake. This is a Rode mic, R-O-D-E. It's little lavaliere mic. It's not cheap. I think it's like fifty bucks, or something like that. That's the mic that I use, and like his one is done, I wire it under my shirt. Put it in. If you're using a pullover shirt, you can run up through here and you can hook it on, and so forth.
The problem is that when you connect this to your phone, to your video camera on your phone, and you set it up on a tripod, it's only three feet long, so there's not a lot of space. To answer that, just get an extension cable. This is going to be very inexpensive. I'll put the link again to that. This is a 6 foot extension cable, microphone extension, that you simply plug into the microphone and then you plug this into your phone, if you're using an iPhone, then you're going to use the little adapter, and so forth, and that's what you plug directly into your phone. Now, I have a nine foot extension and I've got plenty of microphone that's going work for me great.
What do you use to hold your phone? One, you're going to need a tripod, and two, you're going to need an iPhone holder. First, let's talk about the holders. Here is my favorite that I use with my iPhone. It is a MeFOTO. I'll put the link on this. Again, this is aluminum. It's really high quality. I like it for two reasons. One, because it's very versatile. You put your phone on it, you adjust it, and it sits like that. The thing I like about it is because of the way this is made, it actually has a flat on the bottom.
That by itself can literally sit, and I can set that somewhere, and it will hold ... I'm setting on my desk, here. I can set this somewhere, and it will actually hold it for me so that I can talk directly to it. If I'm sitting, or I put it up at a high enough level, I can set it down. I don't even have to have a tripod. That's pretty cool. I used to take a box and I can set it on top of a box. I don't even have a tripod and that will work for you. But, again, this is not a cheap ... MeFOTO is not a cheap one.
Another one that you can use is one like this. It's a much smaller one, and it actually folds up so that it's like this. This is actually a quick-connect to another tripod I'm going to show you in a second. That literally is that small and it takes your smartphone, and it attaches just like that, so it's spring-loaded and this springs up like that, spring-loads, and I connect my phone in there, and now I have that. Then I can attach it to a tripod.
I'm going to show you two tripods. One is this little thing. I think it's called a GorillaPod. It's by Joby. I'll put the link down below. There's different sizes. This is a small one, and this little, like, clicks in here. Now I've got this thing. The reason I bought this one was because it's super-lightweight. I actually bought this because I was going on a backpacking trip this last summer, and I wanted something that I could carry in my backpack that was super-lightweight, that I could have a tripod that was set up, but also that I could use it ... So I could literally use this like a selfie stick. I kind of use this ... I can actually use it like a short selfie stick. God gave me long enough arms that I have my own built-in selfie stick, but I can use this kind of like a selfie stick as well.
Then I can set it up, and the beauty of this GorillaPod is that these legs are flexible. You can literally, whatever ... If you're on uneven ground, you can do that. I don't think you're going to need that in your office. You're going to use your desk and it's flat. You can use that, and then you just set this up, and that's your tripod. You can set this on your desk.
When you're shooting video, one of the things is you want the camera to be basically at face level. Mouth level, nose level, chin level. That's about how high you want it. I don't want my camera way down low like this so the camera is looking up my nose. I don't want it down below me. I want it up at that level. This is perfect if you're sitting at your desk and you've set this on top of your desk like this, then it's going to be there. If I need to lower it a little bit, I just spread the legs out and when I set it on the surface, it's going to actually lower it. This is a portable tripod that is great for using in your office. If you're videoing in a home, where you can set this on a countertop, then this works great for you.
However, when you're doing video and you're out on location ... Let's say you're doing a video in front of a house, and you need a tripod, then I recommend that you get a full-size, collapsible, portable tripod, like this. We'll post the link on this. You can buy these, or Amazon Basics, for 20 bucks or less on Amazon. This is a full-size tripod, so I can set this up out in front of the house, or inside of a house, or wherever, and I can adjust this and I can put it up at that level.
Again, I've got your holder that you're going to now attach into the tripod. This is actually set up for different tripod. Then you set your phone on it, just like that. Now I can attach it in. I'm going to plug in my microphone. So I plug it in, just like that. I set it up. I'm going to put on the mic, and again, when I do this, I can run the mic up under my shirt, or blouse, or whatever. Then I'm going to loop it under and I'm going to post it ... I'm going to stick it right here. If you're going an up-close, where you're really zoomed in, then you can just post it ... Not post it, but clip it on the outside just like that and shoot and it'll work just fine. But obviously, the wire out of sight is going to work better.
We've got the tripod, and by the way, when you're done with the tripod, the beauty of this tripod is that it simply ... It's very compact. It's very quick to ... Take the legs, they're telescopic, you flip them up, and I literally now have a tripod that I can put into a bag or your backpack or whatever. Now I've got a portable tripod. I can throw that it the back of my car to head out on location. Again, small tripod, great for desktop. By the way, this little thing here, it will work on this tripod. This little thing here, it will also work on this tripod or that tripod. They're interchangeable. You can have multiple pieces. I'm just giving you some different options that you can use to get you started.
If you're shooting in an office space, and I'll do another video ... I'm going to do another video, one on content, and I'm going to do another video on some dos and don'ts of actually shooting video. One of the things you want to have with video is you want make sure you have enough good lighting on your face. You don't want to have a window behind you where your face is dark and all the light's behind you. When we're recording here in my training room, in my studio, we have studio lighting. I'm going to actually pull one of these lights over here to show you. Again, we'll post the link. This is a StudioPRO by Fovitec. This is the kind of light. It's a shadowbox light, like that, that we use. This one has five 85 watt bulbs, so it's a lot of power. The link I'm going to put in the description below will be to one similar to this. I think it's by the same company, Fovitec.
I also have a videographer, which is great later, but don't worry about that yet. You don't need one of those yet. He's actually helping me run all this. I'll post a link there and it will have different sizes and powers. The ones that I have set up ... I have two shadowbox lights like this. They each have five 85 watt light bulbs in them. I don't know exactly what that comes out to. There's 10 85 watt light bulbs. That's the link I'm going to post below, but there's also different price points that have smaller ones with a little less light that will be good for you, depending on the size of your space and depending on outside lighting. In terms of investing in this, it's going to cost you 150-200 bucks for the lighting. You don't have to have that if you've got good outside lighting. The best lighting is natural light. Good outside lighting. What you don't want to do is you don't want to shoot out in the direct sunlight, because it's too bright and there's too many shadows.
This gives you the basic set-up of the kind of equipment that you can use to get started. Start simple, but the most important thing is that you start. If you have other questions, other things you'd like to know to get more information on any of this stuff, feel free to post it down below. Give the video a thumb's up. Share it, and what other videos would you like for me to share with you or other information on video marketing for real estate agents. I'm going to be doing several of these videos over the next few weeks. I appreciate your comments and feedback so I'll know what you are looking for and what I can do to help your business, and I'll see you on the next video.

|LPA, Specialized NGOs, professionals from the medical, social and justice sectors, women and men from Chirsova
|Project Document:
|Addressing violence against women in the Republic of Moldova: exploring and learning from local solutions
|See more information about the project on the transparency portal.
Project Summary:
Moldova adopted a series of documents to address the issue, such as the, that calls for investments in social, psychological, legal, educational and economic services for women and girls. However, despite political will, little capacities are in place at national and, especially, at local level, to address Gender Based Violence Against Women (VAW). The aim of the proposed pilot initiative is, on one side, to help localize the National Strategy on prevention and combating violence against women and domestic violence for 2018-2023, by designing, implementing and evaluating a Local Action Plan to address violence against women, in a selected multi-ethnic community (Chirsova village). On the other, by using the lessons learned and the results of the pilot, to equip decision-makers with enhanced policy recommendations, as well as partners, at local, national and international levels, with new knowledge, skills and tools to reduce GBV (gender-based violence).
- Provide support in designing a municipal level VAW action plan for prevention and response aligned with the national policies in Moldova in a participatory manner;
- Provide support in developing sectoral referral mechanisms including standard operating procedures (SOPs) for community police, local governments and local social service providers for cases of VAW, describing the roles of each and ensuring a coordinated and a joined-up approach;
- Implement, evaluate and cost the respective referral mechanism and local action plan to support replication and scale up;
- Strengthen the capacity of local key service delivery institutions to planning for the enforcement of service provision for VAW survivors: strengthening systems of service provision – health services, legal and psychological counselling;
- Raise public awareness to support prevention and disclosure of GBV cases.
Expected results:
Component 1: A local adaptation of the National Strategy on prevention and combating violence against women and domestic violence for 2018-2023 is piloted in the community of Chirsova, Comrat district
- Duty bearers trained and capacitated on national standards with regard to address Gender Based Violence Against Women, to elaborate and implement local VAW action plan;
- Sectoral referral mechanisms including standard operating procedures is developed and implemented;
- Both, the elaborated local plan and referral mechanism are evaluated implemented and costed;
- At least 200 women from the pilot community have access to the created service and trained proffessionals;
- Raised awareness among opinion and decision-makers and wider society about the GBV issue – with at least 3,000 persons covered by awareness-raising activities.
- One functional social non-reintegration service providing assistance to victims of GBV;
- At least 3 trained staff members and 3 professionals from local institutions providing services to victims of GBV.
Component 2: Advocacy for implementation of policies and laws on VAW in Moldova
- State Legal Aid system to provide timely and quality legal support to the victims is strengthened.
- Multi-Disciplinary Task Force on Counteracting Gender-based-violence with approved Job descriptions and Regulations, institutionalized;
- Situational Analysis report, based on the results of sociological research, which contains proposals of the interventions and connections between SDGs and local targets, elaborated;
- Conducted participatory community discussions, including one public hearing, on the Local Action Plan on combating GBV (LAP). The Plan was approved by local public authorities (December 2019);
- Community awareness raising activities within the regional campaign "16 days of active actions against gender based-violence" successfully implemented;
- Initiated the establishment of the regional Safe Space (locla public authorities allocated the building for future service). The future service, which will encompass both the safe space and the shelter component, will be finalized till the end of 2019.

The Natural History of Selborne both volumes 1790 By Gilbert White
Natural history of a town in England, first published in 1790. According to Wikipedia: "Gilbert White FRS (18 July 1720 26 June 1793) was a pioneering English naturalist and ornithologist… White is best known for his The Natural History and Antiquities of Selborne (1789). This was a compilation of his letters to Thomas Pennant, the leading British zoologist of the day, and the Hon. Daines Barrington, an English barrister and another Fellow of the Royal Society. These letters contained White's discoveries about local birds, animals and plants. He believed in distinguishing birds by observation rather than by collecting specimens, and was thus one of the first people to separate the similar-looking Common Chiffchaff, Willow Warbler and Wood Warbler by means of their song. White is regarded by many as England's first ecologist and one of the founders of modern respect for nature."
Intriguing story. A The Natural History of Selborne both volumes 1790 I found hard to put down. The ending was disappointing as I was expecting some climax or epiphany that never happened.
I couldn't put this The Natural History of Selborne both volumes 1790 down! Very suspenseful, I never expected the things that happened when I turned the page

Credits for Frankie Cutlass
Much like his idol Marley Marl, Frankie Cutlass gathered MCs and vocalists under the umbrella of projects — which he spearheaded as producer and mixer — while still maintaining an edge as a DJ by playing consistently in clubs, both dance- and hip-hop-oriented. Originally from Puerto Rico, he moved to Spanish Harlem in New York with his family while still a child, and began to grasp America's culture firsthand through the influence of hip-hop. His brother, a member of the Zulu Nation, taught him to DJ, and Cutlass first hit the decks in the '80s at the age of 12. He joined his own crew later on, working with DJ Funkmaster Flex's Flip Squad. By the early '90s he had moved into production as well, working with TKA, K7, and the Cover Girls. The recording sphere beckoned, and by 1994 he had produced his first record, "Puerto Rico Ho." It and the later single, "Boriquas on the Set," became underground hits, spurring Frankie Cutlass to sign with Relativity Records. His first album with the label, 1997's Politics & Bullshit, showed his enthusiasm for the old-school rap he had grown up with. The album's single, "The Cypher, Pt. 3," reunited several veterans of Marley Marl productions, including Biz Markie, Roxanne Shanté, Big Daddy Kane, and Craig G. Also lending their talents were Mobb Deep, Redman, Method Man, and Smif-n-Wessun. ~ John Bush

I'm home sick today, having been hit by one of the many evil viruses making the rounds at work. My fever is hovering between 102 and 103, so I'm really not trying to do anything more strenuous than change channels on the tv and skim a few blogs. I started feeling the onset Wednesday afternoon, but I didn't have any fever then, and kept trying to convince myself that it was just tiredness or allergies or some other non-sickness condition. But it soon became clear that I was actually coming down with something, and that I wasn't going to be able to finish grading all of my students' essays to hand back in class on Thurs. (Of course, if my psychic abilities were good enough to let me predict who would actually show up for class that afternoon, I could have just graded those students' work -- but that's not really my strong suit.) I feel genuinely sorry for my students, some of whom are anxious to learn their grades, and I hate feeling like one of those professor cliches. So I was heading into Thursday's class feeling bad about letting them down, and also just feeling plain bad physically: my head ached, I was coughing, and I could feel the fever beginning to burn.
So I was upfront with my students: I explained that I was coming down with something -- this was of course pretty obvious, since my voice had dropped two octaves and I was coughing. And then we did a small group activity in which I assigned each group a section of the text, and some focus questions based on the previous day's lecture, asking them to discuss it, and come up with some specific passages to present to the class. They spent 20 minutes in their groups, then the rest of class was a moderated discussion with their presentations and my expanding on what they pointed out, and bringing up some additional passages.
Yes, this activity was easier for me to manage, given the state of my voice that day and my low energy level. But it was also the group activity I usually do with this particular novel at about this point in the text. I would have done a similar activity in any case, sick or not. There's no way to make that clear to my students, although we've done group work before in class. I'm sure some of them assumed I did the group work because I was sick.
I always give very clear directions for group projects, and make it clear how that work relates to the rest of the class (in this case it was about developing close reading skills). That, and doing lots of different kinds of things in the classroom, are part of my approach to making my pedagogy visible to my students.
Although I don't think I could or would have done anything differently, I'm still thinking it over. Earlier this term, I made the mistake of looking myself up on ratemyprofessor because one of my students said he'd enrolled in class because my ratings were good -- to me they don't seem that good, but maybe I don't know what ratings my colleagues get. In any case, there was a vicious comment from a student last semester (a term for which I have not yet seen my official evaluations) about how I was lazy and did group work because I didn't feel like teaching. I know that the negative comments always ring louder than the positives, and I also know that each semester I have a couple students who dislike an active-learning, discussion based approach. They would rather sit and listen to a lecture. Because that's not the way I teach, they're never going to be happy, and I can assume that the complaining student was probably one of that group.
I don't need every student to be happy all the time, but I also don't want my class to think I was lazy. Plus, I made myself kind of vulnerable to my students by revealing my sickness. I was honest in telling my class that I was sick. To pretend otherwise would have been stupid. But I fear that it might have seemed manipulative, like I was asking for sympathy. I suppose I feel a little odd because, in fact, several of my students were sympathetic. One offered me cough drops and another sent me an email hoping I get better soon. It's a weird position to be in with my class.

My memories of Japan are full of happy, helpful people steering my husband and myself in the right direction, of smiles and generosity, of neat and tidy landscapes, of beauty in scenery and design. Of friends like Tom Oyama and the children at the Tokyo expo who absorbed us into their chattering fun filled circle.
I can't bear to dwell on the images now reaching the world by way of television and newspapers. It is a horror of unimaginable depth.
Our disasters in the southern hemisphere, Queensland's floods and cyclones, the earthquake in Christchurch, shocking and heart breaking as they are pale almost, almost into insignificance beside the nightmare the Japanese people are now experiencing.
I can only add my tears to those from the rest of the world.

Uber and other ride-sharing services would be required to maintain $1 million insurance coverage for all drivers from the moment the driver accepts a ride request to the time the ride ends.
House Bill 190, sponsored by Rep. Rich Golick, R-Smyrna, also calls for a minimum $300,000 coverage for bodily injury or death and $50,000 for property damage whenever a driver is logged into the company's system.
The bill does not address background checks, taxes or licensing of drivers, although separate legislation is expected this year. A House study committee last fall met to consider how or whether to regulate the popular app-based services.

Very good 8.2 From 46 reviews
Great stay great location
Nice stay. Very kind staff. It was a proper resort. Swimming pools are amazing and so is the restaurant within the resort. The biggest plus is that the beach is close by (4-minute walk).
Great location in Kuta Beach. Close to beach, many many restaurants and shopping. The hotel was a lovely Balanese style hotel designed around three courtyards of pools and gardens. We used the travel service to organize a driver for 3 different tours.
Love this place cheap and cheerful, although I am critical of one point, that being when you check out, they go check your mini bar and make you stand in the foyer as if you are some sort of criminal, even when I told them we never used it and I had a car waiting, you can use the card supplied if you find anything, no need for me to be there and I didn't use it anyway.
A traditional hotel with beautiful gardens. The rooms are a bit out dated and could be improved. The staff were excellent, overall a very relaxing environment and would definitely book again.

Unfinished Projects
Yesterday, while trying to find 8GB of free space to install Call of Duty 4 on a hard drive bursting at the seams with unfinished projects I stumbled upon the directory C:\Users\Brad\Pictures\Digital Camera\potemp\Rangas at Music Festivals.
I now present a highlight reel of bloodnuts and carrot tops I saw at music festivals between December 30 2007 and April 2 2008.
At this half way mark I want to say I have over three red heads as friends on Facebook, so I know they're real people too.
I'll admit that was a little weird.

Jason joined the Prime Minister in supporting National Apprenticeship Week. He praised the 1500 businesses in Kirklees that are now offering apprenticeships, Kirklees College who offer apprenticeships and the apprentices themselves. The Prime Minister spoke of the 'new norm' which he hopes will see those leaving school either go to University or take part in an apprenticeship scheme.
Across Jason's Colne Valley constituency 1,220 people started apprenticeships in the academic year 2011-12, and another 360 have started in the first quarter of this academic year. This is a percentage increase of 74% compared to the previous government's last year in office.

InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) fans have a new accelerate promotion to sign up for if they have travel plans between January 15, 2019 and April 30, 2019. Called Free Nights Faster, this game-like promotion is designed to get travelers to try different brands within IHG. Travelers will also complete different tasks like staying over a Saturday night, booking a bonus points package or paying with cash and points.
Each member has a promotion that is unique to their account. Log in and register to see what your offers are. Note that everyone is eligible to earn at least 40,000 points if they maximize the promotional offer.
For example, you can earn more than 10,000 points for staying at two or three different brands. One of the easiest offers is earning points just for staying during a certain month of the promotion. While everyone has different tasks to complete, some are relatively simple to do.
If you don't have travel plans in the near future, don't worry. This is a regular promotion that IHG runs. It can be quite lucrative if you plan your stays accordingly.
The promotion launches at the same time as the hotel company's planned award chart adjustment, which takes effect January 14, 2019. The changes are significant with as many as 700 hotels changing the prices they charge for award redemption.
While these type of award chart adjustments are normal and happen with most brands, know that it can be helpful to have advance notice so that you don't inadvertently spend more points than you need to for your next trip. Book quickly to take advantage of the old rates before the (mostly) higher prices kick in. This means that future travel can still be locked in at the old rate for the next few days.
Be careful though as there are some properties that are actually going down in points. Be sure to consult this list of hotels to compare the old and new price before making a reservation.
Of course, there's always the trusty Points Breaks list that applies discounts to many IHG properties around the world. If you're short on IHG Rewards points, the Free Nights Faster promotion and the IHG Rewards Club Traveler miles credit card bonus can quickly help raise your balance.

The Moodsign is a item designed to help bring desire back into you and your loves life. I recently had a chance to recieve this product in exchange for a true and honest review. Now let me explain about this product.
Follow Moodsign on
You can Purchase The Moodsign HERE!
You can also follow their RSS Feed
The Moodsign Device and cards (blank ones shown for PR purposes)
Not all the cards are blank. I have these shown so that it stay family friendly. Some are mild and some get a lil more Risque. :) All in good fun for adults!
This product is technically an adult product. Now lets be real here.... Have you ever wanted to tell your husband or wife what you feel like tonight? But let's say you have kids around and so you can't be all PDA or out in the open about what you are wanting? The moodsign makes this easy and its so simple you can even have it around your children.
It is a simple color system. A little box with a antenna for him and her! You set your color and can leave it out around the house if you so want to. The kids are none the wiser, however for you and your love.... the color means tons.
So how do you know what they are wanting? Its simple. The colors correspond to different card types in the deck. You even have some blank ones you can add things to. Yes some of the cards are very racy but they are tasteful as well. I do not recommend the cards being left where children could find them as even though they are written tastefully, someone could get the wrong ideas from them if they don't understand what they find. However, I think this a fun way for couples to spice things up without being afraid of scaring the kids :) Oh Hubby's have you ever wanted to know what She wants? Oh Wives what if he could answer back without ever saying a word? You see its as simple as choosing a color on yours or his side and the mystery is solved!
What do i rate this? 5/5 (honestly I would go an 10/5 because it really is ingenious!)
Here is the video for the Moodsign.
I have 3 kids, and none of them knew what the device was. Hubby understands and that is all that matters. It has brought some interesting nights to us as well as some well deserved one on one time where ya just want to cuddle. I encourage this if you have any communication issues since this is a great way to say what you want and not leave lots of questions unspoken.
(Disclaimer - I recieved one or more of the items mentioned above in return for a full and 100% honest review. While my opinions might not be the same as others, none the less they are true and honest. No other compensation was recieved.)
