You might have been told that high-impact exercises are bad for you because of the stress they put on your joints. While there is some merit to that, recent studies suggest your bones need daily doses of impact to remain strong.

http://www.golfdigest.com/ Jan 24
Invented by a recent exercise-science graduate from Central Michigan, Derek Mikulski, the bar comes in weights ranging from six to 18 pounds, starting at $120.

From Budapest to Vienna, via one surprisingly quick train journey, I found myself with a whole new city full of museums to explore. Vienna is a city known for its, *ahem* idiosyncratic character, full of laconic wits with a morbid bent, and a whole load of odd museums. But where to begin?
Personally, I'm a big fan of city museums. They tell you so much about a place, the people, and the character of a city (looking at you, Museum of London).
This being my first time in Vienna, I headed straight to the Museum of Vienna in Karlsplatz, right in the heart of the city.
The museum building itself is out of step with the surroundings. The concrete block looks more like an office complex than a museum, standing out from the stately structures that surround it.
Enough about the outside though; what's inside?
One of the things that I enjoyed most, was a scale model of Vienna. A physical representation of the city is a good starting point to help anyone understand more about where they are. There's a different model on each floor, showing how much Vienna had changed over time. But sometimes, what stays tells us more than what changes. In all the iterations of the city of Vienna, one building constantly dominates the skyline; St Stephen's Cathedral.
With a history going back almost 1000 years, it's not surprising that the most important religious building in the city stands out.
Vienna is a city with a history of being an artistic hub. The Wien Museum shows off the city's arty side, as well as the historical stuff. I enjoyed this piece, which celebrates Wine, Women and Song as the best things in life.
The jewel of Wien Museum's art crown is Pallas Athene (1898) by Klimt.
Rather striking, isn't she? One thing that struck me in particular about Vienna, was how ubiquitous reproductions of Klimt's work is. Go to London, or any other UK city and all you'll see are Union Jacks and "Keep Calm and…" posters. I like that Vienna is a bit classier, with its Klimts and Mozart Balls.

I have had the experience of being harassed by government creditors. I was a partner in a child minding centre that was wrought with financial issues stemming from a husband and wife partnership. The government body for WorkCover, QBE, were owed money and proceeded to threaten me with a summons to court and the winding up of the business. This was some time ago now, and even though I no longer am partner in the business and the business has been sold, this government creditor continue to call and threaten me. To date I have not seen a summons.
#DougConstable #GovernmentDebtcollectors #Bullies #Intimidationbycreditors
I have a client who couldn't pay his GST. It wasn't that he didn't want to pay GST, it was that his business was on shaky grounds and he couldn't free up any cash. The ATO caught up with him and, rather than hitting him with a demand for $25,000 which was the GST owed, they hit him with a fine of $22,000 and a total bill for $47,000. If this chap was already struggling then this additional impost was guaranteed to force him out the back door! In the end he had to sell his house for $360,000, a forced sale which surely devalued the amount received. The bank paid out its mortgage of $280,000 and the balance was split between the liquidators and the trustees. The ATO got a fraction.
Bullying and Intimidation by Creditors
In reality, when you owe money, people will threaten you with all sorts of things. The fact is that most business owners don't go into business to not pay their bills. Stupid threats are not going to change the situation that you simply don't have the money to pay. It makes absolutely no sense that a person who puts everything on the line to start a business is intimidated when they experience a financial setback, sometimes through no fault of their own. Should we perhaps also intimidate and threaten those on welfare because they are unable to get a job. Where does the bullying and intimidation start and stop?
One of the interesting things I found in my experience in business and with other business owners is the common misconception of "If you don't pay, I'll send someone over to break your legs" or similar intimidation tactics. How often this happens in reality is questionable. When it comes to creditors wanting their money, there are two types of intimidating debt collectors that could be sent around. Scary looking people that try to intimidate you, but won't really do anything, and people who are influenced by drugs and will do just about anything to get their next fix.
Unless you operate in shady circles, it is unlikely that you'll receive a visit from either of these shady, questionable debt collectors. Common sense prevails that it really doesn't make sense to break your legs if you owe creditor money. That's just going to make it more difficult for the creditor to collect his money from you.
In my experience, there was ever only one creditor that I encountered that had the ability to apply common sense and logic to an otherwise doomed situation. A steel company that had got into financial trouble contacted me for assistance. They were unable to pay their creditors and the best solutions were to liquidate the company, recover and start again. When we attended the creditor's meeting, one of the creditors, who was a major supplier for the company, was at the meeting along with several smaller creditors. It was like music to my ears, on hearing the words from this creditor to my client: "Tell me how I can help". A few days later, my client received calls from a number of new clients referred to him by the major creditor.
With the help of the creditor he owed a large sum of money to, my client was able to get back on his feet and pay all the money outstanding to his creditor. If you are a creditor, and your client has got themselves into trouble, consider how you can help. Remember, you have more chance of getting your money if you use your common sense and logic, rather than threatening to hurt them or their families, or send them into bankruptcy.

My Daily Routine + Free Printables!posted by Andrea | 02/9/2011
It's no secret that I absolutely LOVE my weekly planner!
I carry it with me everywhere I go and reference it at least 27 times each day — seriously, I do.
And even though my daily planner is super helpful for remembering and tracking my weekly, monthly, and other long-term appointments and activities; I was still struggling to find the perfect "planner" for my busy, BUSY daily activities.
I like small planners, but small planners mean I don't have enough room to write everything I do on a daily basis…so I resorted to lots of lists and sticky notes shoved inside my planner.
It worked, but I knew I could come up with something better!
I started looking around the web to see what I could buy or find for free, but I really didn't come up with anything that I absolutely loved. There are a lot of other great daily planner worksheet and printables out there, but they never seemed to fit my life.
So I created my own!
I sat down and figured out exactly what I needed and wanted in a daily worksheet, and THIS is what I came up with…
— I also created a blank worksheet that you can download for free, so keep reading! —
Here's a little explanation for each category in my worksheet.
Top 5 List:
Sometimes I have really productive days, other times I hardly get anything accomplished — can you relate?
However, even on my "bad days" I still make a good effort to complete my Top 5 List — or the MOST important things for the day. If my Top 5 List is checked off, I've done what needed to be done and the rest can wait until tomorrow!
Meal Plan:
I put the meal plan right next to the Top 5 List because I want to start thinking about any food I need to cook, bake, or defrost right when I wake up. This saves me a lot of stress around 5:00 pm!
Exercise and Water:
I don't know about you, but I am REALLY bad at making time to exercise every day, and I never drink enough water. So I put these 2 items on my daily worksheet because I'm much more likely to do something if I need to "cross it off my list". Seriously, this really works!
Other Boxes:
The left column below is pretty self explanatory — I think! I wanted a place to write all my other daily to-do's, appointments, things I need to buy, and notes — so I created a good-size box for each category. And the appointments box even has a place for the time!
Daily Routine:
The right column below is my personal daily routine. I obviously don't do everything on this list every day; but on days when I'm working from home all day, I try to check every box! {I'm really competitive so it's a great motivational tool for me!}
Double Planner:
I also created a Double Planner so I can print 2 sheets on the same page {I also print them double sided} and put it inside my purse or inside my monthly planner.
This simple document has helped me be more productive, more efficient, and better manage my time each day. Plus, it's always rewarding to look back and see everything I've accomplished in one day!
I almost love it MORE than my weekly planner… almost!
Print your own FREE Daily Worksheet:
My Daily Planner — SINGLE This is the worksheet I use every day. The daily routine column is already filled in.
My Daily Planner — DOUBLE This is a double version of the worksheet I use every day {see picture above}
Blank Daily Planner — SINGLE This is the same as my worksheet but the "daily routine" column is BLANK.
Blank Daily Planner — DOUBLE This is a double version of my worksheet with BLANK "daily routine" columns..
UPDATE {as of 8/14/2012}
You can now download a customizable version of my daily planner here!

Thank you!
I'm retired. While I was good at organizing at work and even supervising others…I can't seem to get it together in retirement.
So today, I decided to start at the beginning. Organize MYSELF, then attack my environment.
After looking at your daily routine sheet, it looks like the best tool I've found on the internet.
Thank you for your free gift. I believe it will help this senior lady get her act together!
Hi, Andrea,
You may know about this already but I was looking through Pinterest and found a daily planner layout that is very similar to yours. Exact layout but the headings are different. So here's where it is at in Pinterest – https://www.pinterest.com/pin/380132024795403506/.
I did follow the link to this blog – https://candleinthenight.com/2011/06/getting-my-house-under-control-part-1/.
What caught my eye though is that she is charging $1.99 to download hers whereas yours are free. I was going to pay the fee but then she did link your post and has acknowledge where she had gotten the layout.
I know that it takes awhile to layout a page…a lot of work. So I thought you may need to know this especially since you have a copyright on it.

Thanks so much Marlene –yup it looks like she basically copied my layout and is now charging for it. Bummer!
Well, I hope you enjoy my free version!
I probably won't contact her because my printable is SO old and her pos is quite old too. I have a feeling this type of thing happens more often on the internet.
Thanks so much for taking the time to send me the links though!

Ancient Egyptian lore speaks of the god Hathor descending to the earth to kill men. One day, the King of Upper Egypt and the King of Lower Egypt, Re, came to inspect the beer but, as the day dawned, he saw that Hathor had slaughtered the the men. King Re spoke, "How good that is, I will protect mankind from her." He then stated, "Bring hither the beer to the place where she is slaying mankind." When the beer was brought in the twilight, it was poured out so that it overflowed the fields. When Hathor returned, she saw the inundated fields and her face was beautifully reflected in the beer. Hathor drank from the beer and was satisfied; and, drunk with beer, she left man alone. (Adolf Erman, Life in Ancient Egypt at 268-69).
Beer saved ancient Egyptians not only in lore, but also in life. It was a fundamental part of the Egyptians' diet and has been described as the "national drink" of the time. Drawing inspiration from ancient recipes, Dogfish Head has sought to recreate that drink for people today. The brewers used ingredients from Egyptian hieroglyphics, brewing the beer using an ancient form of wheat (Emmer Farro) and loaves of hearth baked bread. The brewers also used a Middle Eastern spice mix, Za'atar, along with Doum fruit and Chamomile to flavor this beer. They then went to Egypt with petri dishes to collect native yeast strains, capturing a native Egyptian saccharomyces strain. The result is:
Roughly translated: Ta Henket.
Roughly translated: Ta Henket.
The Ta Hanket has a somewhat deep orange color, with a nice level of foam that gives way fairly quickly to the beer itself. The aromatic elements highlight some interesting bready, malty and yeasty aromas. There are also hints of the za'atar spice mix, which is usually made with, among other things, thyme, sumac and sesame. I could definitely catch the sumac and a little of the sesame aroma in the beer.
The interesting nature of this beer carries over to the flavors. This beer does not taste like any other beer that I've had, which is a good thing. The za'atar is clearly present in the taste, both up front and continuing into the finish. As for the other flavorings, doum fruit and chamomile, they are a little harder to detect. One reason may be that I've never had doum fruit before, so I am unsure what I am looking for and whether I've found it.
According to the brewers, the Ta Henket can be paired with a range of foods, including grilled fish, pork chops, feta cheese and roasted vegetables. This beer inspired me to make my Baharat Turkey, pairing a turkey rubbed with a modern version of the Egyptian spice mix with a beer inspired by an ancient Egyptian recipe. A connection between today and yesterday, culinarily speaking.
The Ta Henket has an ABV of 4.5% and IBUs of 7, which clearly underscores the fact that this is more driven by malt flavors than hop flavors. The beer is a limited release that sells for about $12.99 a bottle. I found this beer at a local Whole Foods Market.

Factors to Consider while Buying the Best Mattress for Kids
Kulbhushaan Raghuvanshi
Oct 8, 2018
Babies require sleep for the larger part of the day, so it's very necessary that you get good mattresses for them.
While looking for a mattress, it's very important to know which material is it made of and where it was made. Your kid will lay his/her head on whichever mattress you choose for years to come. It doesn't matter if you choose a memory foam, latex, or an innerspring mattress, make sure that the manufacturer is well-known.
People all over the world generally prefer American mattresses; the simple reason being Americans have stricter guidelines. This doesn't mean that other countries don't make good mattresses but if you take people's general opinion, a majority of them will prefer American brands.
Remember that mattress for kids and adults are different. There are many factors you have to take into consideration while selecting a good mattress. You just cannot select a particular brand of mattress for your little one. In such cases even your instinct doesn't work so it's always advisable that you consult someone or only shop at reputed brand stores.
Factors to Consider
Choose a size that fits your kid's bed or crib appropriately. Its size should be such that if the kid wants to toss or roll over, the mattress should allow him/her to do so without any discomfort. Remember, kids need more room to move so as to have a peaceful sleep.
Choose a mattress which is comfortable for your kid. Kids have a tendency to learn whatever you teach them. So obviously it's up to you that you provide them with something soft and comfortable for their growing bodies.
Always remember to choose the right kind of mattress with a good amount of spring. Would they like memory foam? It is not feasible to purchase it as memory foams are usually very firm.
Prefer Organic
Choose organic mattresses if you can. Kids suffering from chemical reactions and allergies should always rest on organic mattresses, as they contain ingredients which minimize the chances of allergy reactions.
Few companies have specific rules as to the type of foundation they require your mattresses to be placed on. If you ignore these rules, the warranty goes void automatically.
As mentioned earlier, avoid the use of memory foam. But if you are happy with memory foam make sure the bed you purchase has a solid foundation to support it. If you're buying a simple standard mattress then setting up a bed is a piece of cake. You just place your kid mattress on a flat spline.
Here are some good brands to choose from.
Stearns & Foster
Spring Air
Sealy Spring Free
Simmons Beautyrest
Night Therapy
Make sure you also read some reviews before making any purchase and remember to see that the mattress has an extended warranty just to be sure.

You Have A God
Where your soul retires forever is still far greater than all your temporal ambitious achievements in this limited life. The world is like a dream that passes away. The earth and it's joy grow dimmer with silent approach. It's fading glory tells on ageing of humanity and moments are passing on.
The youthful class of puberty stimulates and intoxicates, greater moments of your life have paid deaf ears to the voice of your God. The hassles and hazards of ambition for earthly clamours had perhaps affected your eternal ears from hearing the eternal voice of God. This is not the best. The Lord knows your needs. He will give them to you; after all that your want may not become your very need. The Lord knows the best of your needs.
You have a Maker. He is LORD of all. You should know this.He is your beginning and your ending. he created the first Adam in His own image. You were inside Adam. When he was inside God's breath you were together inside God's image as a woman is conceived of a child. He is your God. That's the way you came. You mean you don't know these yet? God's image is your original village, city and country. Do you think you have not filled up the space of God in your mind with things you want you want most for yourself?. It could be business, marital affairs yet inconsistent; education, rock 'n' roll in pubs, sport, private life, cinema-show, stealing, robbing, hitmanship, or any fast deals that gives money fast. What about God's eternal judgement?.
It is due time for you to return from your own ways through Jesus Christ; which is the very way of God (John 14:6). He is your saviour: not as if you have not heard or known this. If you have neither heard nor known that it is only through Jesus Christ you shall come to God. It is still a right time, hearing this before it is too late. Whatever be the case, come home. he stands-by to welcome you. We have wandered afar enough. the hope may be lost if you delay too much. What is going on? You can return to Jesus today. Do not delay any longer to answer your Saviour's call. There is danger while we delay; it is time.
Christ is non-prejudicial, non-racial,non-colour bound. He is the Lord of all. He loves and will deliver anyone from the bondage of this life. Prove Jesus for your freedom, salvation and miraculous turn-around. Make hay while the sun shines. Amen.
Your spiritual welfare is the Lord's concern

Team is Unbeaten in Last Three Road Matches
PRAIRIE VILLAGE, Kan (July 2, 2013) – After a powerful 2-0 victory over Portland Thorns FC on Sunday, FC Kansas City will travel to Maryland to take on the Washington Spirit. The Wednesday night match will be the second meeting between the two clubs. When the Spirit visited Verizon Wireless Field on June 23rd, Kansas City won 2-0 with two goals from Lauren Cheney. Washington will host the 'Blues' after a 4-0 loss against the Western New York Flash on Friday. Kick-off is scheduled for 6:30 PM CT in Boyds, Maryland.
GAME NOTES - FC Kansas City vs Washington Spirit
FC Kansas City has been busy on and off the field. The 'Blues' played the top two teams in the National Women's Soccer League standings this past week. A 2-2 draw at Sky Blue FC, then a 2-0 win over Portland at home. With 23 points, they now sit in third place on the league's table, only three behind Portland. Off the field, Kansas City acquired forward Tiffany Cameron and traded for midfielder Teresa Noyola from Seattle Reign FC. Included in the trade for Noyola was the Reign's 2nd round pick in the 2014 College Draft and the rights to defender Nikki Krzysik, while Seattle received forward Renae Cuellar.
On Sunday, the 'Blues' faced off against Portland Thorns FC for the third time this season. The developing rivalry already featured a 1-1 draw on the league's opening night and a 4-3 Portland victory earlier in the month. 'Blues' midfielder Lauren Cheney scored the first goal of the match taking the top spot in the NWSL scoring leaderboard from Abby Wambach. Kansas City dominated possession in the first half keeping play in Portland's half and making numerous plays towards goal. The teams went to the locker rooms for half time with FC Kansas City up 1-0. In the second half, as Portland tried to push forward towards the equalizer, Kansas City defender Leigh Ann Robinson intercepted a Portland clearance pass and pushed it up the field. Robinson's cross found midfielder Merritt Mathias after being misplayed by Portland goalkeeper Karina LeBlanc, scoring Kansas City's second goal and securing the 2-0 victory.
The Washington Spirit comes off of a 4-0 loss against the Western New York Flash on Friday. United States Women's National Team allocated midfielder Carli Lloyd scored 2 goals in the first half and went on to complete her hat trick early in the second half. Brittany Taylor of the Flash scored the fourth goal on a pass from Abby Wambach. Following the loss, the teams seventh of the year, Washington replaced their head coach with Mark Parsons. Parsons previously directed the DC United Women and the Chelsea Ladies Reserves.
Wednesday, the Blues will be playing without Lauren Cheney who scored both of the goals in their previous matchup with the Spirit. She is not with the team as she prepares for her upcoming wedding to NBA player, Jrue Holiday. However, the Washington defense will still have their work cut out for them against the 'Blues' offense. The entire offensive side of Kansas City is dangerous; Erika Tymrak has 3 goals while Courtney Jones and Merritt Mathias have each chipped in one of their one. Although the Spirit added Lindsay Taylor to their team this week, they will still have to fight for any opportunities at the Kansas City goal. With captain Becky Sauerbrunn and Lauren Sesselmann anchoring the middle, and Jen Buczkowski and Desiree Scott cleaning up the midfield, getting offensive pressure is never easy. Spirit goalkeeper, Ashlyn Harris will once again have to be at the top of her game to keep her team competitive in this match.
FC Kansas City fans are invited to watch the game at the Futbol Club Eatery and Tap. The soccer-themed restaurant is the Official Watch Party Site of the 'Blues'. Located at 12030 Blue Valley Parkway in Overland Park, fans are encouraged to come out and support FC Kansas City. Kick off will be at 6:30 PM CT on Wednesday. Kansas City will return home for a match against Western New York Flash next on Sunday July 7.

Our choice for best low-cost broker, Ally Invest does it all, but it's especially good for active traders.

Our Take
The Bottom Line: Ally Invest's $0 account minimum and $0 trading commissions help make the firm our choice for best low-cost broker. Ally also charges a low $9.95 per mutual fund transaction.

Full Review
Ally Invest — now with $0 trading costs as well as a $0 account minimum to begin investing — appeals to both the beginning investor and experienced stock trader, and continues its reputation as one of the best low-cost brokers.
But Ally doesn't merely compete with the major online brokers on costs: It also offers bells and whistles like forex trading, an automated portfolio management option, and a suite of free tools for technical investors.
Ally Invest is best for:
Active traders.
Options traders.
Forex traders.
Commission-free trades.
Ally Invest at a glance
Where Ally Invest shines
Free trading: As of October, Ally Invest dropped its trading commissions to $0 for online stock, options and ETF trades. The price for options trades also dropped from $0.65 to $0.50 per contract, a price previously available only to investors who make 30 or more trades per quarter or have a balance of $100,000 or more. These moves are a boon to active investors, and a reason Ally Invest is one of NerdWallet's picks for best brokers for day trading.
Account minimum: Ally Invest's $0 account balance minimum means there's no roadblock to getting started. That's a bonus for stock-focused investors funding an IRA. (Mutual fund-focused retirement savers: Check out our roundup of best IRA account providers for other no-minimum account options.)
Trading platform: Ally Invest's browser-based platform offers quick trading capabilities, real-time streaming quotes and data, a customizable dashboard, and access to all of the broker's tools. Customers who frequently trade from various computers — home and work, for example — will appreciate this web-based platform, which doesn't require any downloads. Ally has also advanced the ability for customers to trade via mobile devices with the company's apps, or to use a smartphone to access the web-based platform.
Investing research and tools: Ally Invest offers a suite of investing tools that exceed expectations for a deep-discount broker. Its options trading tools are particularly strong and include an options pricing calculator to compare current bid/ask prices to forecast theoretical values, and a strategy scanner that identifies and executes option strategies based on criteria you choose. (Just getting into options trading? Here's our 101 guide.)
Technical traders can dive into a suite of free tools powered by Recognia. Other free tools include a profit-and-loss calculator, a probability calculator (that uses implied volatility to determine your likelihood of hitting your targets) and the Maxit Tax Manager, which identifies tax implications of trading decisions (e.g., as short- and long-term gains and losses, wash sales) for planning purposes and generates on-demand 1099 forms.
Side note about data: Standard quotes are free to all customers, but free, real-time streaming data is available only to investors who trade more than 10 times per month.
Where Ally Invest falls short
Mutual funds: The company offers more than 8,000 mutual funds, but unfortunately none of them are free of transaction fees. Ally Invest's commission for no-load funds is $9.95 (one of the lowest among brokerage firms), but investors would be better off using one of the other deep-discount online brokers — such as E-Trade, Merrill Edge or Interactive Brokers — which offer thousands of funds with no transaction fees.
No physical branches: Plenty of brokers have an online-only presence, but it's worth pointing this out here for beginner investors who may feel more comfortable knowing they could visit a branch office for hands-on help. That said, Ally offers online and phone customer support 24-7.
The bottom line
Ally Invest has competitive pricing, helpful trading tools and an easy-to-use trading platform. With no account minimum, it's easy for beginners to get started, while active investors will appreciate Ally's commission-free trades. Those looking to buy no-transaction-fee mutual funds, however, may find a better home at another broker.

|This poem has a great rhythm to it and it really lets you get to know Stillpoint! No wonder she's in the position she has in Underhaven, with an attitude like this.

|This is such a good piece for showing us the *why* behind Stillpoint's seriousness and difficulty with humor. I love that she sees the safety of all as an important priority.

|I really like how this poem shows Stillpoint's serious side... but also how that is related to her dedication and concern for her fellow trolls. It really brings her to life and makes her quite sympathetic.

|I was totally inspired for this by Peggy's lovely picture, of course. :) I wanted to do the perfectionism I saw in the illo justice with the poem, and I hope I did! I also had fun doing a piece in such a different "feel" overall since it's a troll character rather than the elves I'm used to writing about! :)

|Very nice :) I like the non-nonsense feel of this and I love how much devotion to her place and her function in the society she shows in this. I'd say it's not necessarily you best poem but it''s really gripping in it's theme and meaning :)

The Nigerian U-17 team has qualified for the 2019 African Cup of Nations Tournament scheduled to hold in Tanzania in 2019.
The Eaglets beat their Ghanaian counterpart 3-1 in penalty shootout after both teams could not be separated after 90 minutes. The win means the Golden Eaglets has picked up the sole ticket to the tournament to represent the zone at the tournament.
The black starlet of Ghana broke the deadlock in the 54 minutes, but the Eaglets responded almost immediately through Amoo who scored after great work in the midfield. .
Both teams couldn't add to their tally and the game inevitably went to penalties according to the rule of the of the qualifiers.
Amoo, who was the hero earlier missed his spot kick bvut his blushes were saved by Ghanaian's duo of Agyapong and Issaaku who were unable to convert from the spot.

You Asked For It!
While I did receive a last-minute comment 10 minutes before midnight on my ultimatum post, it was from a friend of mine who was making a sarcastic remark about something I may have believed he told me when we were younger and, thus upset me.
Therefore, from this day forward, I will only be posting on my new weblog: The House of Spanks!
The first post is an introductory one familiarizing all my new readers with my kitten, Mr. Spanks! I'm very excited about the new direction that this is going.
Maybe I'll keep posting here, but only if something happens to Mr. Spanks, and I don't see that happening.

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway will make about $700 million a year from its Apple holdings just by collecting dividends.
The Oracle of Omaha revealed to CNBC that Berkshire bought an astounding 75 million shares of Apple during the first quarter. That adds to the 165.3 million shares Berkshire already owned at the end of 2017.
Apple "is an unbelievable company," Buffett said in a "Squawk Box" interview that aired Friday. "If you look at Apple, I think it earns almost twice as much as the second most profitable company in the United States."

The Veterans Affairs Department is evaluating how high-fidelity videoconferencing could support the agency's missions and better serve veterans.
VA has launched a pilot project using AT&T's TelePresence Solution, which combines the company's Multiprotocol Label Switching global networking capabilities and Cisco Systems' TelePresence technology.
"We have under way our first generation of what we are referring to as the Enterprise Video Teleconferencing Network," said David Cheplick, director of VA's Office of Telecommunications. He spoke earlier this week during a demonstration of the AT&T TelePresence Solution that linked participants in AT&T and Cisco offices in Herndon, Va., Indianapolis and Washington.
VA officials want to extend the capability to let clinicians have real-time sessions with veterans or family members who are not able to travel to a major medical center. Instead, patients could go to a local outpatient clinic, where they could communicate with a clinician at another location via videoconferencing, Cheplick said.
A high-fidelity system such as AT&T's TelePresence could also play a role in real-time medical collaboration, Cheplick said. For instance, clinicians could provide consultations or learn various skills by watching other physicians perform surgery remotely.
VA has a designated TelePresence room set up at a medical center in Orlando, Fla. The agency plans to create a second site at VA headquarters in Washington so officials can evaluate how TelePresence might be used to serve administrative and clinical applications.
A complementary technology
Rather than replacing existing systems, TelePresence's capabilities could be part of a portfolio of technologies that VA would use to achieve its missions, Cheplick said.
TelePresence "would be at the very high end. We're not looking at this as a one-to-one replacement but hope it takes [videoconferencing] to a higher level," said Don Herring, president of AT&T Government Solutions.
The AT&T TelePresence Solution includes equipment, installation, full monitoring and management, remote help-desk service, and on-site equipment maintenance and repair. It runs on AT&T's Private Network Transport. Three-screen and one-screen site options are available, based on Cisco TelePresence Systems 3200, 3000, 1000 and 500.
Agencies can buy the AT&T system through the General Services Administration's Schedule 70 contracts or Networx, which would require modifications to that contract vehicle, Herring said. Agencies can also buy the system outside those contracts, he added.
VA's videoconferencing pilot will run throughout the year, Cheplick said, and the resulting recommendations will be available in fiscal 2011.

High school senior Max McHugh, our #5 recruit from the class of 2018, is currently competing in his first high school swim season after opting to focus on club swimming for his first three years.
McHugh is primarily a breaststroker. His top times include a 52.46 100 breast, 1:55.38 200 breast, and a 1:49.41 200 IM
He represents the combined Wisconsin Division II team of Sturgeon Bay/Sevastopol/Southern Door, which kicked off its season in early November. The team competed at the Plymouth Boys Invite last weekend, and McHugh showed the field just how good he is.
In the 200 IM, he won the race by nearly 18 seconds, throwing down a 1:54.56, splitting 24.50/29.60/31.92/28.54.
In the 100 breast, McHugh went 54.12 , demolishing the current Division II state record of 56.43. He was just shy of the overall state record, 54.08, set by now-freshman at Ohio State Paul Delakis.
He also split 24.17 on the breaststroke leg of his team's first-place 200 medley relay. They won in 1:42.72, nearly eight seconds ahead of the second-place team, whose splits were nearly identical outside of the breaststroke swims.
To close out the meet, McHugh dropped a 20.74 on the anchor leg of his 200 free relay, with the team winning in 1:32.73.
Click here to see the full results.
He is committed to swim next year at the University of Minnesota, where his brother Conner is currently a senior. Conner also swam last weekend, and went slightly slower than Max did in his 50 breast split (24.29) on the medley relay.

6 kinds of window coverings for your home
When it comes to designing that perfect interior, many people tend to overlook one integral part of the design – the window coverings. Good old fashioned drapes are well and good, but you have to carefully consider all of your options when your interior style is leaning more towards the modern or contemporary design setting. There are quite a few options to consider while you're searching for the perfect complementary window treatment. You could go for blinds, shutters, curtains or even shades. Each of these categories have so many designs of their own that it could be challenging to make the final choice. Below, let's look at some of the options available in the market and what styles they complement.
- Sheer curtains
When your interior design lies somewhere between casual contemporary and modern rustic, then sheer curtains are the way to go. Made from breezy fabrics these can lend an air of refreshing uniqueness to your design. They will also filter out the light and create decadent patterns within your interior space.

- Shutters
You have to be extremely careful while selecting the shutter window treatment. Make sure that the aesthetic you choose doesn't give of a commercial office-y vibe and plays well with the overall aesthetic of your space. the image below is the perfect example of this selection – where the brown vanes of the shutter complement the industrial vibe of the design pretty well.

- Shades
Out of all the choices in window coverings available in the market, these are the ones that are the most beloved. They are majorly used for residential interiors and come in various sizes and patterned designs. However, if you're choice runs the gamut of simple then there are quite a few choices in that genre too.
Interior Design, Home Renovation Image Source: In Interior
- Vertical blinds
A separate genre of simple blinds, these come in elongated vertical partitions. With these vertical blinds, you could easily demarcate different window panes in different designs or colors to match the scheme of your interior design.

- Woven blinds
Another beloved genre of blinds, these have been in fashion for a long, long time. so if you're going for a homely an pleasant look then woven blinds would be the way to go. These are largely used in residential settings and can affect the overall ambiance to seem dated, retro or even transitional.
Interior Design, Home Renovation Image Source: Icon Interior
- Curtains
The evergreen window covering, curtains are loved by all. The best part about choosing curtains for your window coverings is that there are a number of choices – all in various fabrics, linings, embroidery and patterns – that will match with your interiors to a T and complement them in the best of ways.

San Francisco Wine Panel
93 Points
NVWE Notes: The nose of this highly evolved yet clearly age-worthy wine is an intriguing perfume expressive of blue and red fruits, loads of savory spice and dried herbal notes poised above gamey-earthy undercurrents. It fans-out on the palate as a melange of dark plum, blueberry, mulberry cobbler, red and black currant, violets and dark red rose, peppercorn, date sugar, dark pipe tobacco, leather, star anise, dried sage and rosemary, with undertones of bacon smoke and soy sauce. It is plush in texture and richly satisfying already, and the finish - a blast of mulberry, plum, peppercorn and black licorice - keeps the tannins at bay. Great now with dark fatty meats and winter stews, it will be a much grander wine if allowed two or three years of cellar-time. 465 cases produced.
Wine Enthusiast
93 Points
Named for the famous wine from France and similarly made by co-fermenting Syrah with Viognier, this cool-climate offering features a delightfully juicy backbone of red fruit and savory earth. Floral and spicy, it remains elegant on the palate and will take on additional nuance in the cellar. Drink now through 2020.

Season 2 Got Leaked!
I was minding my own business, watching Deus Ex and suddenly a group notice pops up saying "Season 2 Leaked!" and I said "What did I miss?". So apparently during a commercial that happened this morning while I was watching a few episodes on my DVR (Total dick move...) leaked a few scenes from season 2. This makes me want fall to hurry up.

(An excerpt from article "PaK: Ethnicity, Democracy and Islam" taken from book titled "Of Occupation and Resistance, Writings from Kashmir")
By Mazhar Iqbal
Those who have a difference of opinion with the official position are considered troublemakers. They have to face arrests and disappearances, financial losses, fake criminal cases in courts and in some cases, extra-judicial killings. Innocent people are forced to join with fundamentalist organisations. In the autumn of 2011, the residents of Neelum Valley complained about renewed guerrilla activity in their area. This border district has been used as the staging post for guerrillas entering Jammu and Kashmir right since the 1990s.
A local civil society organisation, Press for Peace (PFP) claimed that a large number of women protested against the activities of some banned guerrilla groups in the Neelum Valley. According to the PFP, the women also approached the Pakistani army in Athmuqam – the district headquarters of Neelum Valley – and urged the officers to stop the 'militants' from crossing into the Indian side of Kashmir. Their main fear was that guerrilla activity in their area would once again adversely affect the relative peace that had held on both sides of the LoC since the 2003 ceasefire. With memories of regular crossfire along the LoC still fresh, their fear was that the presence of guerrilla organisations in the area would adversely affect their lives.

Additionally, the organization picking unmanaged server hosting needs in-house assets to deal with the hosting perspectives and irregular issues, as and when required.

18 years ago on Valentines Day, Scott and I had our first date. I am so blessed to have Scott in my life! How do I love him? Let me count the ways…..
– When I accidently burnt the bacon this morning, he said, "It's perfect! This is just how I like it". (awwww)
– On Sunday mornings, he cleans up the kitchen after breakfast, just so I can have a few extra minutes to primp and get ready for church.
– He does all the vacuuming, so that I don't have to push the heavy sweeper.
– If I haven't gotten to fold that last basket of clean laundry, he'll just start folding it (he's usually watching a ballgame at the same time). 🙂
– He took me to Chipotle and Macy's on our date night last night, even though I know they are not his favorite places.
– He still opens the car door for me – what a gentleman!!
These are just a few of the many ways that Scott shows his love to me. When I think of my husband, I think of I Corinthians 13:4-7 "4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."
Scott, thank you for all the many ways you say you love me……… without saying a word! Happy Valentines Day!

D.Gillah Website
Website Design and Development for London based filmmaker and cinematographer Dylan Gillah.
In the spring of 2018, London based cinematographer and filmmaker Dylan Gillah approached me to design his website and his digital brand. Dylan is a recent graduate of Bath Spa University's Film, Television, and Video Production program and has been hailed as an upcoming auteur. Dylan's most recent projects deal with complex topics like loss and separation, virtual reality, etc.
" When looking for a design for my website, I felt I needed something that would reflect the traditional nature of my camerawork. I opt to use tripods and dollies over the handheld look most of the time, which feels more considered. However, the content I work with and what's in front of the camera is far more contemporary and experimental, delving into very present cultural change. My website needed to reflect these two ethos effectively."
The Design:
Taking inspiration from Dylan's work and the brief provided, the visuals developed for the website were a perfect blend of traditionalism and modernity.
Type styles for various heirarchy of information and links on the website were as follows:
Since Dylan is a filmmaker, the color pallete was carefully considered. The information on the website was presented against a dark backdrop, much like in a movie theater.
The Userflow:
The userflow of the website was simple and straightforward. Visitors can navigate between the six main sections quickly and easily through the ever-present fixed navigation bar on the left. The contact section can be opened up on any of the pages. External links to Vimeo, Instagram and IMDB are also ever present on the left navigation bar.
The Wireframes:
Initial medium fidelity wireframes for the website were developed in Sketch.
Wireframes for a responsive version of the site were also developed for an opitimzed mobile viewing experience.

There was a day that was rainy and beautiful. I had final exams to worry about but all I could think of was how lovely the rain was. Coincidentally, I found my camera that morning. I wanted to capture all the beauty of nature and the feeling that the rain brought about. I found a friend and ventured outside, but the rain had paused. We took a picture anyways. View on lookbook.

Langzaam druppelen de Reviews van Dark Reign2 binnen. Dit keer Avault.
Dark Reign2 is een 3D RTS (zoals alle RTSen tegenwoordig )
Grafisch is het een "wonder" volgens Avault en krijgt het 5 sterren.Overall 4 sterren en je hebt een goede game met Realtime en Grafisch geweld .Gameplay ****: For the most part, Dark Reign 2 is a traditional RTS offering -- collect a resource, build bases and armies and attack your enemy. One of the variances in Dark Reign 2 compared to the original is that you only collect one resource. Resource management is the one area where I believe they were right the first time, but it's more of a personal choice than anything. Dark Reign 2 plays somewhat like Command & Conquer in terms of managing resources, and as such the "attack the harvester" tactic is, to a degree, overly powerful here as well. The resource spots in Dark Reign 2 are usually short-lived, and a couple of collectors can ravage a site in no time. This requires players to build in different locations, and depending on how long the game goes, it's plausible a player may have buildings in more than 10 locations. The dynamics in finding, mining and defending these locations during the course of a conflict becomes one of the title's primary draws. There's a good amount of strategy involved with maintaining control of a map's resources, and Dark Reign 2 surely provides some of the best attrition wars the genre has seen. Unit construction is also nicely handled. Queues are provided that allow players to rack up troops without having to be at their base, and there's virtually no limit on the amount of units one player can control or build. Combat is also a lot of fun, as long as you're able to get past how pretty things look. The lack of formation ability, extreme pathfinding problems and some boneheaded AI are causes of frustration, though, and negatively impact gameplay. However, these concerns are more evident in the single player campaigns and do not affect online play nearly as much. The vast amount of units and their weaponry available is really cool too. Pandemic obviously spent a lot of time on making sure the opposing sides were balanced and yet unique. Certain units have natural defenses against one another, which makes unit selection key to victory. While Dark Reign 2 doesn't have the experience system and location specific damage model offered in Ground Control, its units are still pretty cool and are a positive trait overall. Despite its somewhat inadequate interface and flawed AI, Dark Reign 2 delivers a high-quality experience. If you're trying to decide which of the latest 3D strategy offerings to buy, Dark Reign 2 is a good choice. It's not quite as polished as Sierra's heavily tactical Ground Control, but it's as good or better than anything else, including Earth 2150. Ach gelukkig mogen we zelf kiezen wat we kopen Kopen of niet ? Lees de Dark Reign2 review.

#MLBPlayers411: Billy Hamilton is stealing bases, fans' hearts
With 169 stolen bases in less than three full seasons -- including his four-steal game against the Pirates on Sunday that gave him a National League-best 43 -- Billy Hamilton has been refining the way he uses his unmatched speed.Back at the top of the Reds' batting order in recent
With 169 stolen bases in less than three full seasons -- including his four-steal game against the Pirates on Sunday that gave him a National League-best 43 -- Billy Hamilton has been refining the way he uses his unmatched speed.
Back at the top of the Reds' batting order in recent weeks, Hamilton's been in position to run more often, and he's only been caught six times this season, a far cry from the league-leading 23 times he was thrown out as a rookie in 2014.
"Now I'm trying to get in some curveball counts where you know they're going to pick the leg up," Hamilton told the Cincinnati Enquirer recently. "It's been a process, but I feel like I'm learning more."
For the center fielder from rural Collins, Mississippi, it's just part of the growing process as a Major Leaguer.
A standout athlete at Taylorsville High School, Hamilton played baseball, basketball and football. He excelled enough in football to receive a full scholarship to Mississippi State University. He also scored 54 points in a high school basketball game but ultimately chose to play professional baseball.
Hamilton was the king of sports at Taylorsville High, but his royalty wasn't confined to athletics. During his junior and senior years, Hamilton was also named Homecoming Prince and Homecoming King, respectively.
Outside of school, however, Hamilton led a more humble, country existence. Hamilton says he grew up picking peas and watermelons for local farmers in Mississippi, a state he never left until he was drafted by the Reds in the second round in 2009.
So now he's making up for lost time. He enjoys sight-seeing on road trips, especially in places like New York and Miami, cities where the pace is almost as fast as Hamilton.
More from #MLBPlayers411:
- Hamilton's favorite movies are White Men Can't Jump and Love and Basketball.
- His Major League debut came on Sept. 3, 2013, as a pinch runner. He stole second base off Yadier Molina and eventually came around to score on a Todd Frazier double.
- Puerto Rico is the most interesting place Hamilton has been. He loves the beaches and finds the entire island beautiful!
- One of his highlights was meeting Muhammad Ali.
- Hamilton considers himself a big kid -- he likes going to places like Dave & Buster's to play video games and enjoys going to Kings Island amusement park in Mason, Ohio.

Love is the key word on your wedding day, so it makes sense to spell it out big enough for the whole world to see.
Hayley and James Harbrow did just that. The couple hired 1.8m-high letters spelling out 'love' and had them sitting by the riverfront at their wedding ceremony, at Morning Glory Resort in Moama on November 7, 2015.
"They were in where we had the ceremony, alongside the river, so while all our guests were waiting for the ceremony to begin they all took photos around them," Hayley said. "Just going through Facebook they have got them as their cover photos and stuff like that. "It's nice to see not only the memories me and my husband and the bridal party have with them, but also the guests."
The use of giant letters as decorations and photo props was a growing trend, GV Party Planners owner Jonelle Arnold said. "They are nice and eye-catching at the back of a garden ceremony, we've done a couple where people have used them for their photos — their bridal party have actually sat in them," Jonelle said.
The letters can be easily customised to suit any wedding style or theme or to create a certain mood. "You could drape lights, you could lay flowers across them, and even if you wanted to get a little creative you could lay some tulle or material," Jonelle said.
Despite any theme or style, Hayley said at the end of the day weddings were all about love. So to have it spelt out in giant letters while the pair exchanged vows topped off the ceremony. "Our decision to hire the six-foot letters not only lifted the mood at the ceremony but also encouraged the inner children of our guests, creating some of the best photos and laughable moments," Hayley said.
