Dog name trends
Through the years, dog names have changed. Giving a dog a name is special to us, in our western culture but there are cultures in which dogs are not seen as special. They are sometimes even seen as food! Many years ago dogs were used as working animals, which sometimes they still are now. Think about guard dogs and hunting dogs. Many breeds were bred especially for the purpose of herding or hunting. This is something you can keep in mind when choosing the right name for your dog.
A historical name
The first dog name recorded in history is that of a dog named Abuwtiyuw. When George Reisner led an expedition in 1935 in Egypt, they stumbled upon an inscription on a grave at the great cemetery. This indicated the burial of a dog named Abuwtiyuw. What was so special about this grave was the fact that the dog was buried with honors and in the time Abuwtiyuw lived, only noblemen and kings were buried that way! The Egyptian King worshipped his dog so much that he gave him his own grave.

The perfect name
Whether you are looking for alcohol related dog names or Mexican food related dog names, you want to find the perfect name. What makes a name perfect? That is something you are the only judge of. If you, the owner, believes the name is perfect then it most definitely is! Remember this at all times, you get to choose. Take your time in choosing the name as well. Really think it through! Make sure you love the name and will also still like it after a few years as well. Besides that, there are a few things you can keep in mind. Think these aspects through and you will, for sure, get to that one special name.
The sound of the name
Alcoholic drink names for dogs can be good names for dogs when it comes to the sound of it. Sound is an important aspect of the name because your puppy needs to be able to really understand you. Research has shown that dogs respond better to certain letters that can be pronounced clearly and hard. This comes down to letters like 's', 't' and names ending in 'y' or 'a'. For example Bailey would be a very good name because the 'b' can always be pronounced with emphasis and the name ends on 'y' which makes a very good sound as well.
The length of the name
Dog names after alcohol can often be a bit long. This is not completely wrong but it is something to think about. A longer name will often be harder for you to pronounce clearly in emergency situations and that will make it hard for your puppy to always understand you. If your puppy is about to run off onto a busy street you will be alarmed and call the name quickly. This will be easier done with a short name than a long one. Stick to a name of about one or two syllables, that is best.
The complexity of the name
Hand in hand with the length of the name goes the complexity of it. A long name is often more complex but a short name can be complex as well. If you are not able to pronounce the name clearly you might have to think twice. The alcoholic beverage Licor 43 might not be such a good dog name but Jack, from Jack Daniels, is a great example of alcohol beverage dog names. You could decide to pronounce Licor 43 as liquor forty-three but is that really a good name? It would still be too long and trying to pronounce it the Spanish way might be really hard. Even if you do speak Spanish, the name would be too long.
Think about these things and you will find that one name that is perfect for your new dog.
Famous dog names from history
There have been some dogs that did a very brave thing or changed the world a bit. Just like we can, dogs can become famous as well. Some dogs are remembered for their extreme loyalty or a heroic deed. Often the beautiful relationship between dog and human is reflected in these deeds. A good example of a story like that is that of the Japanese Akita Hachiko. Hachiko is not an alcoholic drink name for dogs but his story is quite magnificent.
Hachiko walked his owner to the train station in Tokyo every day and waited there for him to return from work. When his owner returned at the station after a long day, he and Hachiko walked home together. Doing the same thing the next day. When Hachiko's owner passed away, Hachiko kept waiting. Never leaving the spot in front of the station, day in day out. This extreme loyalty did not go unnoticed. After Hachiko passed away a statue was put in his place and there has even been made a movie about the story. You can still find the statue at the station in Tokyo to this day.
Another very famous dog is Laika the Russian stray dog. She became famous because she was the first dog to orbit the earth! Sovjet professors picked her up from the streets of Moscow and trained her to be able to stay in confined spaces and live off fluid food. Sadly, Laika was never destined to survive the ride. The spacecraft was designed to burn up into space but Laika already died 3 hours into the ride.
Alright, one last famous dog. Not an alcohol dog name but a lovely TV character! Lassie, the Collie from the Lassie movie and TV show. If you are about to own a cute Collie, Lassie might be the perfect name! Lassie is also a unisex name, we believe. After all, in the movie and TV series the character of Lassie is a girl but she was actually played by male collies! This was because male collies have a longer, thicker coat which looked better on screen.
The purpose of a name
As we mentioned, a name is important. Especially the length, sound and complexity of the name are important. Some names are good for specific breeds and types as well. A dog's name also says a lot about his character, it shows other people what he is like. Of course this is only a first impression but it can tell a lot about you, the relationship between you and your dog and your dog himself. If your dog is a big German Shepherd and her name is Lucy, she could be as sweet as the name itself. These are things you can take in mind but do not have to. After all, most of the time these things come naturally.
Some breeds were bred for certain purposes, like hunting dogs. These are Labradors, Retrievers, Beagles, Setters etc. If you are about to own a dog of a hunting dog breed, it can be fun to give him a name that suits his hunting instincts, or not at all. This could be names like Chase, Sniff, Hunter, Arrow or Scout.
Whatever name you end up choosing for your new dog, there is one thing you ought to remember at all times. This is time. Take your time. Really, you do not have to rush this decision. Even if your puppy is coming home with you in a few days, it is completely fine to think about it. The first few days your puppy is at home with you he already has so much to learn, it is fine to teach him his name a few days later. You can take these first few days to really get to know your puppy and then you will know which name suits him best! Make a list of the names you like, practice them out loud and see how your puppy responds to them. Calling the name out loud with your puppy in front of you will soon let you know if it is perfect or not. Good luck!

My computer has broken down. Yeah, again. I just bought a very slightly used one with a lot better components that I would otherwise afford.
It comes with Win 10 (Pro), I think. The guy hated it himself and recommended me to install 7 or 8 instead. 7 seems the least annoying, but support ends in less than 3 years. 8 seems pretty horrid too. So maybe I should just go with 10?
I've read about the murder of the start menu, that updates are forced and that you have no control of what and when. Is it as bad as I've heard?

The sound could be long and drawn out
like a hissing wind—
or short and staccato
like eruptions from the gut—
I don't know how it started
among us four siblings
but I know how it grew.
It sounded like so many things—
fear, enthusiasm, excitement—
but what it really meant was danger.
We thought it kept us safe
but in the end
it prevented us from saying
what we wanted to tell each other.
I think we were afraid
we would speak truths
that we could not unsay
about our parents and ourselves,
and love would vanish like evaporation.
And so one of us would go,
e-e-e-e-e-e, and another
would pick it up and carry it
like a round to the next.
The themes and variations
kept us going for years.
It meant everything,
and it meant nothing—
our secret childhood language
unleashed of words—
an unbearable sorrow
without explanation.

The Patagonia Nano-Air light Hybrid Hoody takes the breathable properties of the Patagonia Nano-Air, combines them with waffle knit back and sides, and makes for a lighter sportier jacket that wants to replace your lightweight fleeces. While this jacket breathes like no other, it doesn't match the warmth of other synthetic insulators and should be used as part of a layering system, and the more versatile Nano-Air Hoody still takes the cake as our favorite breathable insulator.
Patagonia has kept all the features of this jacket the same, but the color selection has been updated since our testing period.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Yahoo's inventory rose more than 5 p.c on Wednesday after the company fired its CEO following more than 2½ years of financial lethargy. Even those who aren't educated in finance can understand it, and though it is just a really primary software and method of evaluating the worth of the shares of a company, it can be used to make quick selections. With Market Order, you pay for a inventory in response to the current going fee, while Limit Order permits you set highest/lowest value you might be prepared to pay for a inventory, eliminating the guessing recreation of inventory market.
Apple makes use of its own operating system, however Google earns much more for search results on its iPhone app than on Android devices, regardless of a revenue cut up with Apple, because iPhone customers are a sexy viewers. Just like human editors at conventional media retailers should curate content material and separate truth from fiction, Google has to do the same on a massive scale for all of the stuff printed to the net.
Stock options are privileges which might be sold from one social gathering to a different, the place you might be giving the customer the right to purchase or promote a specific financial management stock at an agreed price inside a particular timeframe. To get an idea of how liquid an organization is, multiply the amount of shares by the worth to see how much cash flows by the company each day.
Market Cap is calculated by multiplying the number of shares outstanding by the inventory's price. Likewise, a inventory with higher-than-average trading means that the stock is very liquid, but can also be very risky (meaning the price goes up or down comparatively quickly and dramatically).
To counter declines in value-per-click rates, Google rolled out in February a service to assist advertisers market by means of a mix of smartphones, tablets and desktops. The large surge in stock worth in early 2012 threw off the correlation for the reason that variety of Internet searches was regular (minus seasonal cycles).
This checklist is up to date every 15 minutes and exhibits you exactly how much cash is coming into a inventory versus the money going out. Suppose we have now array int Price365 and it contains price on particular day….now lets create another array min 365 which has quantity /index up to now which had minimal value.
Primarily based on Google's income sources, Google is mainly within the internet marketing house enterprise like Yahoo! The P/E Ratio for any inventory will be decided by dividing a stock's value by the reported earnings over the past twelve months. Whereas the most recent modifications deal with the visible design, maintain your eyes peeled for enhancements to the navigation and functionality of Google Finance in the near future.
Most stock market indicators essential observe market tendencies and the power to predict inventory market moves in the holy grail of funding that has remain illusionary. Third, the percentage positive aspects from choices will be much better than those from the underlying inventory.
Pay attention to the information on your stocks, the amount traded each day and the fluctuation in value and learn from these. The first video below has the reason why you shouldn't purchase Tesla inventory and even short the inventory. At any time when the value line bounces on a development line, it signifies continuation of the pattern.
The tenuous argument is that Android will help set up Google as the de facto search engine on cell devices. Alphabet inventory can also be one among our high stock picks from the know-how space, which have outperformed the NASDAQ by an impressive 135%. You'll find a number of shares that already have topped the $1,000 mark with out exhibiting any desire to do a inventory break up.
If someone owned one share of Google they might now get two shares of Google stock, and the value of each share might be half the worth of the present shares. The primary says that higher percentages of institutional ownership indicate approval" of the stock from the market.
Inside Google Spreadsheets you may choose the System tab and comply with the more >> hyperlink on the highest proper. I've observed that generally the information ameriprise financial posted on the Yahoo web site can actually enhance the stock worth, for example- rumors or statements about firm acquisitions or purchase outs.
All 10 of these stock have DRIP plans or quite dividend reinvestment plans with the companies. If the stock worth breaches or touches the higher Bollinger Band then the inventory is deemed overbought. Google's inventory has climbed steadily since June when each share was worth £345 (\$559).
Whether or not you are a novice stock person, chartist, or day trader, Stock Master is the last free app you'll ever need. Using the 'Plot Feeds' tab, you possibly can customise the news annotations on your chart to come from a favourite RSS feed or news supply.
Based mostly on the IPO worth of $38 per share, the Could 2012 Facebook IPO valued Facebook at roughly $104 billion. This brings up a number of points to contemplate: free speech, manipulating inventory market results and client privateness. One main advantage of the appliance is it could ship alerts within your smartphone each time a stock value reaches a specific stage you've set.
The reasons that Google sais for shutdown Google Translate API don't convince anybody with a minimal frequent sense. Maybe the right means to look at it is the stock value tracks search levels moderately than the opposite means around. Usually, a inventory pays four instances a year a quarter dividend as a way to participate investors at the firm's success.
Google Chief Legal Officer and head of Company Improvement David Drummond will obtain a $3 million bonus, Google mentioned. Yahoo Finance saved again in offering real-time inventory quotes freed from cost; within the time of writing this particular content they are still asking for $10.ninety five monthly, however things will most likely modify sooner or later.
Leverage is solely a instrument that you should use once you get the confidence and experience in inventory market. The finance division supervisor for each company/team will make decisions in keeping with that firm's business model and technique. The Regulation of Supply: All else being equal, as the worth of an excellent will increase, the quantity equipped will improve.
There is not any argue in it that yahoo message board is bad or Good However now a days a great deal of spamming is being completed there. The pure Android experience needs to be responsive and cozy giving the consumer full entry to all the inbuilt and downloadable Google capabilities.

Loss making PSU MTNL has demanded more than Rs 1000 crore as support from the central government to offer VRS to its employees. Besides, the telecom firm, that operates only in two circles – Delhi and Mumbai – has requested the government to frame its VRS as per the Gujarat model of VRS, the Rajya Sabha was informed.
"MTNL has submitted a proposal to the Department of Telecommunications for Voluntary Retirement Scheme (VRS) based on Gujarat pattern," telecom minister Manoj Sinha informed the upper house in a written reply.
Gujarat model of VRS is primarily adopted by PSUs, both central as well as state, that are marginally profit or loss making, or even by those PSUs that are sick and unviable. The model, adopted by the Central Government in 2000 in its VRS for CPSEs (Central Public Sector Enterprises), offers 35 days of salary for each completed year of service, and 25 days of salary for each year of service left till superannuation. However, the total compensation in this method of calculation, should not exceed the sum of salary for the balance period left till normal retirement, the scheme says.
In terms of employee numbers that can be considered for VRS, the operator has submitted the proposal for 20% of its workforce, a total of 5312, that are retiring in next 10 years. The operator has asked for 100% government support in financing the VRS scheme which would require Rs 1067 crore.
"The proposal is for 20% of its employees and seeks 100% Government support of Rs.1067 crores for implementation of VRS," the minister informed. He said the proposal is being considered by the Department of Telecommunication at present.
VRS or voluntary retirement scheme for MTNL has been doing the rounds for years now. Many expert panels were formed in the past, comprising of parliamentarians, academia and management gurus, to devise a revival plan for the PSU that has been making losses for nearly a decade now. Cutting down on wage bill was the top most priority suggested by all the past panels.
MTNL has close to 40,000 employees with only two telecom circles to do business. In comparison, Bharti Airtel, India's largest telco, operates in all 22 telecom circles and has little over 20,000 employees. MTNL's expense towards its employees is in excess of 90% of its revenues as compared to 5 to 6% for private operators.
By end of December 2017, MTNL was sitting at a debt of nearly Rs 17,000 crore. In the quarter ended December 31, 2017, the PSU earned revenues of Rs 580 crore and made a loss of Rs 639 crore. In the previous quarter, too, the firm made loss of Rs 730 crore to a revenue of Rs 642 crore.
With this sort of performance, it has become imperative for MTNL to downsize its worforce, and the firm feels VRS is one of the fastest way to achieve a part of that target.

Andrew C. Phiri is a missionary and pastor of Believers' Assembly, a non-denominational church in Zambia where Christians seeking prayer, fellowship, and an in-depth study of scriptures, gather to worship. Andrew has spoken and taught in various meetings across Africa and overseas. He takes keen interest in missionary work and helping the poor in rural villages of Africa. At the heart of this ministry is the quest to "earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints" (Jud.1:3). This website is mainly dedicated to sharing reflections on faith, as expressed through recordings of preachings by brother Phiri and other ministers who have visisted Believers' Assembly. Other sections of the website contain responses to Bible questions people ask, and another to mission reports. If you find any contents of this site a blessing, we will be glad to hear your testimony.
To ask for books by Pastor Phiri send your request to:
For Bible questions, testimonies, prayer requests, and other inquiries use:
In the words of Albert Einstein,
"We are like a little child entering a huge library. The walls are covered to the ceilings with books in many different tongues. The child knows that someone must have written these books. It does not know who or how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. But the child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of the books – a mysterious order which it does not comprehend, but only dimly suspects."
Some people suspect the "definite plan" to be an act of God and others believe it to be a work of chance. Both these views or assertions cannot be established by empirical proof. However, we can establish facts based on where the evidence leads. While proof is something that establishes an absolute fact, leaving no room for doubt, evidence refers to a fact or situation that suggests something might be true. So, while proof is about facts, evidence is expressed in terms of probability. When facts seem to be consistent with observations, we say there is evidence.
True faith, as defined in Scripture, is "the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (Heb. 11:1). This faith does not flourish on ignorance but knowledge of evidence. Thus, rather than believing for the sake of it, one has to have understanding before believing: "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear" (Heb.11:3).
So, we believe because of the evidence of God! But, did this great God create us just to believe Him for food so that we can eat, grow, work, get old, and later die? Unless we perceive the mind of God, through faith, our lives become a meaningless routine of vanity. But we know God has a purpose. It is our prayer that through the various messages shared on this site you may find inspiration for a deeper and closer walk with God that will enable you to perceive the mind and will of God and thereby grow unto "the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ" (Eph.4:13).

This article was first published in the Spring/Summer 2018 issue of International Cruise & Ferry Review. All information was correct at the time of printing, but may since have changed.
Star Ferry can trace its origins back to 1880 when Parsi chef Dorabjee Naorojee Mithaiwala embarked on a new vocation and began a ferry service across Hong Kong's Victoria Harbour with his steamboat, Morning Star.
Known as the Kowloon Ferry Company, the fledgling service expanded quickly and by 1980, the fleet comprised four single-deck ferries, each bearing 'Star' as part of their names. Over the next 10 years, British business man Sir Catchick Paul Chater bought all the ferries and in May 1898, Star Ferry Company became a public company.
In 2018, Star Ferries will celebrate its 120th anniversary and now has a fleet of 10 ferries serving two franchised ferry routes – one between Tsim Sha Tsui and Hong Kong's central district, and the other between Tsim Sha Tsui and Wanchai and two sightseeing water tours. Since July 2003, Star Ferry has provided harbour tours. The one-hour journey starts in Tsim Sha Tsui and goes on to Central and Wanchai before returning to Tsim Sha Tsui, allowing visitors to take in a variety of harbour views at leisure.
Millions of commuters and tourists sail with Star Ferry every year, both on the ferries and the harbour/water tours. "In 2016, for example, the ferries carried about 19.5 million passengers," says Johnny Leung, general manager of Star Ferries. "About 30% of these passengers were tourists, most of whom took the ferry because they wanted to tick off one of the experiences included on National Geographic's '50 Places of a Lifetime' list. TripAdvisor has also granted Star Ferry a certificate of excellence for several consecutive years."
In 2014, Star Ferry relocated its services to the new Wanchai Pier, 100 metres further north of the older Wanchai (East) Pier, which was demolished and reclaimed to accommodate the Central-Wanchai bypass.
"The relocation resulted in a 30% patronage diversion, and we suffered significant loss on fare receipts from commuters," admits Leung. "However, the move brought an opportunity to introduce quality tenants, such as well-known Japanese seafood brand Yamataka, to the new ferry pier. This gross sales sharing amount has benefited our non-fare box revenues."
"Activities, events and the Ferris wheel at the new waterfront and promenade in Central have occasionally brought additional patronage to the ferry crossing between Central and Tsim Sha Tsui," says Leung. "Nevertheless, the benefits on fare receipts are insufficient to stabilise the financial health of the ferry services. We aim to stabilise the fares and generate more non-fare box income by recruiting more concession activities at the Central Star Ferry Pier."
To further combat rising operational costs and a fall in revenues, Star Ferry was given the green light to increase prices on franchised routes across Victoria Harbour in 2017. This marked the first price rise for a number of years.
"New fares came into effect 15 July 2017 and although commuters need to pay 20 cents more, fares on the ferry crossings are still competitive when they are compared to those of other modes of cross-harbour transport," comments Leung. "The ferry franchise will expire in March 2018, and the renewal process for another 15 years is in progress."
Elsewhere in the business, Leung and his team have focused on decreasing the environmental impact of the ferries, primarily to meet the Hong Kong government's stricter sulphur emissions limits.
"Star Ferry is one of the pioneers in the local maritime industry because we introduced low-emission technologies on our fleet," Leung says. "We've successfully introduced exhaust gas cleaning systems that remove sulphur dioxide from our ferries' emissions. Moreover, the whole fleet is now bunkered with low sulphur content diesel fuel to meet the government's sulphur emission limits."
In 2016, Star Ferry gave decommissioned ferry World Star a new lease of life as part of a HK$14 million (US$1.79 million) project co-funded by the Hong Kong Environmental Protection Department's Pilot Green Transport Fund. Originally a passenger ferry serving the Wanchai-Hunghom route, the refurbished vessel was relaunched as Hong Kong's first diesel-electric ferry and has higher propulsion efficiency and substantially lower emissions.
"World Star is now a water tour ferry that provides an unprecedented route from Tsim Sha Tsui ferry terminal that goes beyond Victoria Harbour to take tourists and locals to Disneyland on Lantau Island," says Leung. "As an environmentally friendly ferry making use of the latest low-emission technologies, World Star is a good example of an eco-ferry bringing about substantial reduction in emissions, but delivering higher propulsion efficiency. World Star's transformation reduces substantial smoke values and eliminates 95% sulphur dioxide, while her diesel power generators meet the requirements of US Environmental Protection Agency Tier 3 standards, which mandate that nitrogen emissions are 112% lower than the Tier 2 models."
Following the successful relaunch of World Star, Leung says Star Ferry will continue exploring and investing in low-emission technologies for the rest of its fleet. "We plan to convert our classic fleet to eco ferries without changing their iconic look."

The University of Michigan professor just wanted to teach a course about basketball-as-culture. Now he's taking his show on the road.
Do you dare read Donald Sterling's heroically lewd 2003 deposition on the subject of "sex for money, money for sex?" It's totally fine if you don't dare. It's actually maybe more disgusting than you'd expect, for the reasons that most things about Donald Sterling are disgusting.

After the End: Forsaken Destiny review
After the End: Forsaken Destiny is a puzzle adventure game that will make you flex your mental muscles and be wow'ed by the breathtaking ancient world. If you enjoy slower and introspecting pacing, then this gem is worth your try. The game's isometric style and isolated tone might resemble Monument Valley, but the world here feels bigger, with more adventure and more story.
The engaging puzzles and the oddly charming enemies have a lot to offer to fans of the genre.
Graphics 5/5
After the End offers an incredible visual style that sports a nice low-poly aesthetic and makes everything looks a bit more artsy. There is also a bit of blurry dreamscape effect thrown into the mix giving the game more depth.
The color palette is full of rich tones with a dash of soft pastels. The cutscenes are beautifully animated and immersive, pulling you into the story of a father and son on their journey. There are no lags during gameplay too, as the animation are always smooth and fluid.
The soundtrack is soothing and atmospheric, with a hint of melancholy that draws you into the game's universe. Overall, developers from NEXON have done a great job with After the End in terms of the graphics and audio.
Gameplay 4,5/5
In this beautifully rendered universe, you play as a little bipedal, backpack-wearing creature that makes its way through a series of maze-like environments. You will consult with magical elders, collect broken artifacts, and avoid bottomless chasms, crushing boulders, and other dangers.
After the End is a level-based game, which means you have to solve the puzzles on each stage to move on to the next area. It starts out easy, but then the difficulty of the puzzles will increase as you progress. Each level is an episode that can be pretty lengthy since it is comprised of several puzzle stages. The objective in each stage varies depending on the environment and situation your character is in.
The major downside of After the End is a lack of meaningful save points. If you close the game, you won't be bumped back to the latest puzzle stage within the level, but to the very beginning of this level, throwing your progress into the garbage. That would mitigate a lot of frustration if there were milestones at the end of each stage rather than at the end of a full episode.
In addition to puzzle solving, the game features hidden artifacts and diamonds scattered throughout the game, which will require a bit of exploration. They are hard to find, resting in secret passageways and alcoves, but once you collect them, you can get some life you lost before.
Controls 4/5
The controls are simple and intuitive. For movement, you will use the virtual joystick placed in the bottom left area of the screen. However, there is no fixed position for it as this joystick will go where your thumb is. A button shows up in the bottom right when it's possible for you to interact with an NPC, an object, or the environment, and this is the button you have to tap repeatedly to run in dangerous situations like a collapsing bridge behind you. If you want to change the touch areas for the controls, you can make some adjustments in the options menu from the title screen.
In some levels, you can rotate the camera by dragging your finger around. For some stage, it will be necessary so that you can see where you have to go and reveal hidden switches.
Sometimes there is a tension between moving the camera and moving forward, along with the inability to accurately control speed. You will "trigger" running by tapping furiously, but it's not going to make you move any faster than the game allows. It's also hard to turn the camera while also moving your character forward, which can result in being dumped off the edge.
Replay Value 4,5/5
If you like particular stages enough, or if you are the type of person who gets inspired by the gorgeous digital words, you can go back and replay the game. Plus, there is plenty of ancient landscapes to look at.
In-app purchases
After the End doesn't have any in-app purchases, so you can just pay a single price of $3,99 and play without any interruptions.
After the End has spectacular graphics and reminds other great games like Lara Croft Go and Monument Valley. Despite the gloomy tone of the game, the tunes are tranquil and relaxing.
It's a charming puzzle adventure story that will be best suited to people who like a slow and thoughtful gameplay rather than a frantic and high energy one. The difficulty level feels just right as it picks up a gradual pace and most of the puzzles can be solved by trial-and-error.
Give After the End: Forsaken Destiny a try if you are in the mood for a beautiful puzzle adventure game with a good emphasis on storytelling.
Pros : Beautiful graphics and relaxing soundtrack;
Introspective tone;
Satisfying puzzles.
Cons : No save points within the levels;
Controls are sometimes frustrating.

Many use social media for different purposes: to share information, to find out the latest news, to upload pictures of their cats. A while back I decided to use my Twitter account for both business and personal use. I knew what to post and how to word it so that I can still be viewed as professional while sharing stories and ideas that are more personal.
For a while it has gone fine. For the past year however, since the death of Mike Brown, I've been sharing more stories and more personal points of views on my Twitter account. Last night I realized that using a particular hashtag can catch the eye of unwanted attention from people with opposing views. After going back and forth briefly with these people, I come to the conclusion that one should be prepared for the power of social media. My unwanted attention led to people liking my opponent's tweets and retweeting our conversation, calling me names that do not fit the type of person I am.
The more I responded, the more traction it received. If you put more fuel into a fire, it will take a while to go down. I see that now as it is the following morning and I've still received more feedback. Many of you have heard the old saying for bullies, ignore them. While this approach can be debatable, I think it's the best option on social media. If you ignore people's responses to your statements, then eventually they will go away only to nick pick with other people they disagree with on their views.
Celebrities can best benefit from this advice as I'm sure they receive the most criticism because they are in the public eye. Unfortunately for them the criticism can come non-stop to the boiling point where they feel as if they NEED to respond…but they don't. These people will not stop them from making their millions, just like these internet "trolls" cannot judge me by the little bit of personal information I DO decide to share to the world. While I cannot be silenced, this event has led me to realize that my focus SHOULD be more towards professional content more so for me as a professional transitioning her career.
Final Tip: Just be aware you can have your own opinions, not your own facts. This is why I support the people I do on social media and share their stories and struggle as they are called liars and their families are threatened every single day.

YIPLED Transparent Screen in International Film Festival-Creating New Vision Era for Artistic Stage
In the evening of September 19th, the opening ceremony of "The Third Silk Road International Film Festival" was held in Xi'an Theater.
Jackie Chan served as the ambassador, Yifan Wu as youth ambassador; nearly a hundred outstanding film stars attended the opening ceremony.
Different from the past, the stage used transparent LED screen (YIPLED's Jade Screen) as the stage background - this big innovation
highlighted the whole opening ceremony. On those 9 pieces of transparent screens, the images were changed with the
performance contents, seamlessly combined with the real stage performance, fully highlighting the beauty of stage.
This unique stage artistic effect has been reported by CCTV news.
"Chinese OST Queen" Jane Zhang sang in the "ice and snow" – becoming the most shining performance in the opening.
The screens sketched out a three-dimensional world of ice and show - showing a perfect stage effect.
The stage design has given full play to the characteristics of YIPLED transparent displays: high transparency,
very thin and brightly colorful. It has successfully constructed the local scene of architecture in Tang Dynasty,
through the combination of real and virtual scene, reproducing the Tang Dynasty style.
YIPLED Transparent Screen opened a new vision era for artistic stage!

For the second week running Gary Bowyer was left scratching his head to work out how his Blackpool side failed to pick up three points.
MATCH REPORT: Rotherham 1-0 Blackpool
The Seasiders ended the season with a 1-0 defeat at Rotherham today, with Will Vaulks getting the only goal of the game.
After an under-par opening half, the Seasiders were the better side in the second period and had more than enough chances to win the game, never mind draw.
Nathan Delfouneso, Ollie Turton and Dan Agyei all squandered gilt-edged opportunities as Pool succumbed to their first defeat in six.
Despite the loss, Bowyer's men finish the campaign in 12th place in League One.
"I think that last 20 minutes sums up our season to be honest," Bowyer said.
"I thought first half we were abysmal, we were nowhere near it. We thought we were just going to come out and have a nice afternoon - well forget that, these are in the play-offs for a reason and have good players.s
"We had to tell them that at half time and we got a hell of a reaction.
"But why do we have to go behind to get the reaction? That's the disappointing thing.
"Okay we got stuck on the motorway for three hours but it's no excuse for that first half, because they go on to produce that second half.
"They can't say the delay hindered their performance.
"You've had Nathan Delfouneso's chance, you've had Ollie Turton's chance at the death and Mark Cullen is adamant he should have had a penalty when the lad pulls him back.
"But we got nothing from the referee and again, he was another one out on an end-of-season testimonial.
"But forget drawing the game, we have got to be winning the game with the amount of chances we've had second half.
"I don't think Christoffer (Mafoumbi) has had a save to make second half, other than one volley. So I'm really disappointed."

In 2007, Contained Energy was contracted by the Indonesian Government to install 2 (two) water purification systems that through solar powered reverse-osmosis is able to transform unclean and saline water into potable water. The Sea-Recovery Ultra Whisper System produces 2000 Litres of clean water for the island each day; it consists of solar PV panels and solar trackers that follow the suns rays and use this power to pump water from a well and clean it through a high-tech reverse-osmosis machine. It also includes a battery system that is charged each day for operation outside daylight hours.
Thanks to the solar reverse-osmosis system, the villages in Nusa Penida can now supply clean drinking water to their schools, medical clinics and homes essential for proper health and sanitation.

A poem by Steve Webb from the point of view of his 'Auld Jock MacKeachran' character about unpopular developments in Aberdeen and Shire.
Eence, oor prood forefaithers
Raised their kilts on the battle field
Defendin' oor land fae thievin' hands
Wi' a big sword an' a shield
A tradition upheld yet tae this day
In the Shire and Aiberdeen
Yet the Cooncil's swapped the Claymore
For a tub o' Vaseline.
Eence bocht and sold for English gold
Now any coin will do
To grease the wheels and seal the deals
O' democracy done tae you
Trumpton gets his playpen
Woody gets his square
Stewartie Milne's wee boxes
Spring up here an there
And on the ancestral turf o wir fitba team
While they're rippin' the hairt fae the toon
Wi' the P&J pavin' the way
Whistlin' the Chamber's tune.
Ah'm nae jist a nimby naysayer
Ah'm a forward thinkin' chap
Noo 'progressive' is cool
Ah'm nae an auld fool
Hingin' on tae Auld Lang Syne's crap
We've 6,000 folk on a hoosin' list
An a tycoon wi' money tae spare
A wee local loon in shire and toon
Chucking hooses up iv'rywhere
Noo, foo's this for a wee proposal?
The Sir Ian Wood Cooncil Estate
The main road, Stewartie Milne Drive
A statue o' each on the entrance gate.
We could big it oot by Bieldside!
Aye right! Tack it on tae Brig o Don
Hameless folk get a hoosie
An' the noteables' names live on.
An' Ah had a wee vision o' Trumpton, an aa
It was misty kine, vague and grey
Jist the same to be seen
On the warld's T.V. screen
On Trumpton Tournament day
Wis that hazy blur on the telly
Tiger Woods gaan twa under par?
That soond? A corbie cawwin?
Or locals gaan "Haar! Haar! Haar!"?
Formartine's rollin' sandy dunes
Eence a wild and soothin' sight
Noo a potty putter's private park
Next tae land filled wi' oily shite
Ah love to roam auld Sco tia
Sae it irks, ye unner stan'?
Tae hear the Yankee dollar bark
"You! Get off my land."
Money disna spik, it swears
It's getting mair an mair obscene
Through a voice in the North it craws daily
"Sod Democracy Aberdeenshire!"
"Bugger you, folk of Aberdeen!"
Ah see yet anither vision,
Reflectin in shiny sheen
Standin on the fine clipped girse
O' a funcy puttin' green
It's nae poppin' corks or cigar smoke
Or splittin' grins that catch ma een
But summin' gaan on ablow the turf
Summons me tae be seen…
Aneth undignified local worthies
Bendin' ower backwards to kiss Trump's arse
Those ancient braves dirl in their graves
At this done deal democracy farce.
… Jock MacKeachran, 6th June 2010

text: Santa Clara potter Gwen Tafoya created this beautiful vase in her signature style, with etched floral and hummingbird designs. From top to bottom, hummingbirds swarm over beautifully carved roses. The hummingbirds are so life-like and full of movement, each adorned with a turquoise or coral eye. A small butterfly guards the lower inflection of the vase. Gwen's pieces are especially interesting, because of her juxtaposition of hummingbirds, considered the stoppers of time, with at least one butterfly, which is regarded as a changer of time. The scalloped rim also provides a contrast to the remainder of the piece with the inner portion showcasing a red color, the product of this portion of the piece being covered during firing. 9 3/4″ tall x 6″ wide.

I have to make a small speach about Integration testing on Wednesday. So, I wrote down some main points I would like to discuss. I think they might be interesting for the readers of my blog. Here are they.
Integration testing ("I&T") is the phase in software testing in which individual software modules are combined and tested as a group.
Integration testing takes as its input modules that have been unit tested, groups them in larger aggregates, applies tests defined in an integration test plan to those aggregates, and delivers as its output the integrated system ready for system testing.
Big Bang Testing - in this approach, the program is integrated without any formal integration testing, and then run to ensures that all the components are working properly. Bad way of testing!
Performance testing - The goal of performance testing is not to find bugs, but to eliminate bottlenecks and establish a baseline for future regression testing.
Load testing - Load testing is usually defined as the process of exercising the system under test by feeding it the largest tasks it can operate with.
Stress Testing - Testing conducted to evaluate a system or component at or beyond the limits of its specified requirements to determine the load under which it fails and how.
Good way of testing - all the units of a system must be integrated consequtively and integrated in step by step process by incrementing the levels of testing at one end to other end.

In tackling his new post, Lefadi Makibinyane sees expanding the market base of CESA members for the trading of their services as one of his primary tasks as well as invigorating the advocacy voice for CESA members in both the public and private sectors.
The newly appointed CEO of Consulting Engineers South Africa (CESA), Lefadi Makibinyane, holds a Bachelor of Engineering Degree with Honours (Chemical Engineering) from the University of Teesside, Middlesbrough in the United Kingdom, a post-Graduate Certificate: Management Development Programme (in Project Management) as well as an MBL (Master in Business Leadership) from the University of South Africa's School of Business Leadership in Pretoria.
In tackling his new post, Makibinyane sees expanding the market base of CESA members for the trading of their services as one of his primary tasks as well as invigorating the advocacy voice for CESA members in both the public and private sectors.
This will help in bringing back the rationale that consulting engineers are in the forefront of every technical/infrastructure development as their service focal area lies in design, material selection as well as specification, overseeing of construction against the design specifications towards quality and sustainable performance, and after-care support during operation and maintenance.
On the issue of corruption, Makibinyane believes that it destroys value and compromises quality of service by denying the community delivery of service and efficient infrastructure.
"It is a crime against humanity and must be uprooted at all costs. The engineering profession promotes ethical behaviour and conduct as an integral principle of technological work and service. The work of an engineer centres on harnessing the might of science for safe human use and benefit within the constraints of the natural environment. One cannot achieve any quality of service as an engineer if you are corruptly natured; hence fairness and equality is a prerequisite for the development of an engineer," he says.
He cautions that any consulting engineering member firm caught participating in corrupt activities will not only lose their membership of CESA but their work and existence as a firm. CESA will ensure that such a member is blacklisted on the National Treasury database and is removed as a vendor for Consulting Engineering Services from the databases of both public and private sector clients.
Makibinyane has worked for the City of Tshwane as a strategic executive director in the services infrastructure department, as a director of West LB AG, as Vice-President of Fieldstone Africa, and also held various senior positions at Sasol, Industrial Development Corporation, Engen Refinery, Anglo American Coal Division, Nampak, South African Breweries as well as the Export Credit Insurance Corporation of South Africa.
A full report is available on the CESA website www.cesa.co.za.

So we had our very intellectual writer's group meeting and coincidentally there was also a quiz being played in the pub too. It would have been rude to say no, so not only are we intellectual writers we are also fantastic multi taskers .
The quiz was very different from the quiz that I was moaning about last week in that it was quite good fun. We weren't paying that much attention and still managed to scrape joint third where we then had the rather embarrassing task of having to do a tie breaker.
It was about Elvis Presley films so we basically had no chance. Our moment of glory was brief.
There was also chips which is never a bad thing.
But back to business - the writing went well. We all talked lots, we have come up with a great idea and I drank 2 pear ciders which is more cider than I have drunk for about 20 years so today I have had a headache and no internet. Martha has public speaking practise here tonight and there are lots of cakes in the kitchen. I have just had a slab of one of them and it tasted good.
There is no diet in my life this week. I cant write a bafta winner and eat salad. I am not being horrendous but my fruit bowl is empty and my dinner is not Slimming World friendly.
I will try harder next week.
Does pear cider count as one of my five a day???

Dear colleagues of the Spanish Regional Science Association (AECR), Dear friends of Regional Science
First, on behalf of the Executive Committee and myself, thank you again for the faith you have shown in entrusting us with the leadership of the AECR over the next four years. We hope that, together with the network of Territorial Associations, we can strengthen the Spanish Association and continue to promote studies and research in the field of urban and regional science. Our goal is to consolidate the activities so far have been developed and initiate others that allow our partners to provide increased opportunities for training, promotion and dissemination of its activities related to the Regional Science and Urban activities.
The AECR is a very powerful Association, which represents one of the most numerous international groups that analyzed the Regional Science. But let me ask your collaboration, both participating in our activities (annual Congress, submitting articles to our journal Investigaciones Regionales/Journal of Regional Research, contributions to the blog of the Association … and why not, looking to attract new partners to it!). We will be stronger if we increase the number of partners and we participate more in the AECR activities.
The three main assets around which the work of the AECR is built are undoubtedly the annual autumn congress, the Association's journal Investigaciones Regionales/Journal of Regional Research, and its involvement in the activities carried out by the European Regional Science Association (ERSA) and the Regional Science Association International (RSAI).
With regard to the Annual Congress, we shall endeavour to maintain – and, where possible, increase – the quality of the papers presented. This will be achieved through fluid contact with the Local Organizing Committee to coordinate the planning and organization of the event. The Scientific Committee also has a key role in guaranteeing the quality of the material presented and the overall level of scientific excellence of the event. To make the Congress more attractive, we must secure the participation of leading national and international experts in regional science, to moderate debates and to intervene in special sessions and plenary sessions. It is also absolutely essential to give young researchers the opportunity to present their first studies at our meetings so that their contributions to the field can be considered and discussed by more experienced researchers.
With regard to Investigaciones Regionales, we will maintain our policy of giving its director, Dr. John R. Cuadrado Roura, and the Editorial Board complete autonomy over the running of the journal. The Executive Committee will give all the necessary support to place Investigaciones Regionales among the foremost Spanish-language publications in the field of urban and regional science. Efforts will also be made to have the journal listed in major bibliometric databases – in particular the ISI-JCR – to ensure that it is positively valued by institutional review committees and classification boards and to increase access to funding through agreements with government offices and foundations. Finally, we will strive to make the journal better known in the national and international research communities.
With regard to our relationship with the ERSA and RSAI, we aim to strengthen ties and to increase our participation in the various activities these associations carry out, to promote the interests of our members. The newly created Latin American Meetings of Regional Science, the first of which was held in September 2012 and attended by AECR members, should enable us to establish a more extensive relationship with other Latin American researchers.
We believe that, in addition to these activities, we must continue to grow and to promote the creation of new actions. Among our proposals are the creation of an AECR Summer School, a programme of workshops on regional science research, the strengthening of relationships with government offices, the hosting of activities for the ERSA and RSAI and for regional associations from neighbouring countries, increased efforts to enhance the multidisciplinary focus of regional science, and greater fluidity in the exchange of information related to research in regional science. We must also work to facilitate the exchange of information between our members and with all those interested in urban and regional science, and to give greater visibility to activities carried out in the framework of the Association through new channels including social networks.
To achieve these goals, we will continue to rely on the active involvement of all association members and on the work of the Regional Associations, with whom we intend to work as a single unit with common aims.
To conclude, in keeping with the open and dynamic nature of the AECR, the Executive Committee will welcome suggestions of any type from all of its members and from the members of sister associations. Therefore, as of this moment, we are open to new ideas and will give due consideration to all suggestions to facilitate their implementation. Our aim is be a channel through which the initiatives proposed by our partners can be made real.
We must work together to showcase the vital role of the AECR in laying down guidelines and making decisions that help build better regions, to make the AECR a leading organization within the society it serves.
Barcelona, 14 June 2012.
Jordi Suriñach i Caralt
President of the AECR.

The music of Los Angeles based band Dot Hacker is architectural, built on a foundation of bold, manipulated tones and supported by lush eclectic textures and angular rhythm. The band's enigmatic sound comes from the collaboration of friends and founding members, Josh Klinghoffer, Clint Walsh, Eric Gardner and Jonathan Hischke. Before forming Dot Hacker in 2008, the four were already established musicians--Klinghoffer, the band's lead vocalist, also currently plays guitar in The Red Hot Chili Peppers. Inhibition, the band's 2012 debut album, received critical acclaim from a variety of press outlets including Rolling Stone. The album is now being made available on cassette tape for the first time, with the addition of two previously unreleased b-sides from the same recording sessions.

10 Jan What Lies Ahead In 2017
Welcome to 2017.
This year should give us as South Africans a firm footing after a hectic end to 2015 and very rocky 2016 to say the least. The year gone by was fraught with many disruptive forces, the vote on Brexit and the US Elections, all of which turned out very different to what the market indicators anticipated. On the home front we managed through a change in Finance Ministers, the threat of a ratings downgrade and spiralling GDP figures. The interest rates being at their highest in 10 years. Cash seemed to be the asset class of choice considering the volatility in the Bond and Equity markets. Having said that the best performing asset class was Bonds, according to the ALBI TR ZAR at 15.42%. Property was the next best performer at 10.2%
Going forward we still face certain issues such as the Euro zone elections, the actual roll out and impact of Brexit, seemingly in March, and the threat from our Government regarding a cabinet re-shuffle. Who would have thought that in January 2017 we look at the pound being 35% and a Euro 12% weaker against the South African Rand than a year ago. The dollar, it will seem initially took a downward turn after the Trump win but quickly recovered to turn positive within hours. The South African Rand recovered against the dollar albeit it was making up the ground it lost to the Nenegate saga.
Political uncertainty and our Labour Laws still prohibitive and in some circumstances archaic are the two threatening issues to the growth of the South African economy. "Fees must Fall" process has been badly managed by government and will weigh heavily on the 2017 budget. Although we anticipate an increase in economic activity this year our expectation of the markets are still muted.
On a positive note we welcome the rains that have fallen and brought relief too many areas of our country in desperate need of water. If Trump brings back manufacturing to the American economy, it could have a positive impact on our commodity prices, as demand will rule the price, perhaps good competition to China who have been buying our resources at very reduced levels for years.
We look forward to the year with inspiration and the promise to form closer bonds with you our valued clients. We will strive to under promise and over deliver and make your financial security a reality. Keeping pace with your changing life, needs and requirements are important factors for us to keep you up to date and in touch with the latest and best products to suit your lifestyle.
Thank you for your custom, loyalty and support, without you Financial Junction will not have achieved the heights we have reached to keep your financial management stronger, healthier and in line with your growth expectations.
Have a sensational 2017.
Best wishes
Hubert, Lynn and Rod and the FJI Team

Discover how to consolidate debt and how much you will pay thanks to debt consolidation. Compare the best loan offers and analyze your repayment schedule thanks to our loan and credit calculator.
What is a repayment schedule for a loan?
It is basically one where the payment schedule of the loan that we want to request is shown according to the amount and the term that we have chosen, that is, the table that allows us to calculate the loan installment. In this table, we can see different columns that will detail the information on the financing. On the one hand, we have the period, which will indicate the number of installments we are reimbursing, the amount of each installment, the percentage of interest we are paying in that monthly payment, the capital that we are returning in each installment and the remaining outstanding capital for returning after having paid each installment.
We can find this table both when calculating a loan in an online simulator or in the loan contract itself since all the details of when and how we will repay the financing we hire must be detailed.
Example of a repayment schedule of a credit
To see it more easily the following table is a table of repayment of a loan of 5,000 euros to repay in 12 months with an interest of 8% and no commission. This type of amortization that appears in the amortization table is called "French system" and we will explain it later.

Types of repayment of a loan
As we can see, in this table we will have all the relevant information on how to repay the loans, what installment we will pay and the percentages that we will devote to repay capital and pay interest.
To reimburse a consumer credit, it is normal that we do it in monthly installments. These monthly fees may be calculated in different ways. In our country there are two ways to amortize the credit that will define the way in which the amortization table is created:
- Amortization with French system: it is the most common form of repayment in personal loans in our country. With this amortization system, the installments are fixed although the percentages of what we pay to vary. At the beginning of the life of the loan, the percentage of interest will be higher and that of the capital reimbursed will be lower. These percentages will be reversed as we go through the reimbursement period. Thus, at the end of the term, we will be paying a higher percentage in the capital and practically nothing in interest.
- Amortization with German system: it is a form of reimbursement less common in Spain. With this type of amortization table, the repayment installments are higher at the beginning of the life of the loan and lower at the end. In this case, the fee has a fixed part of the capital to be repaid, but the interest is a percentage, so it will be higher at the beginning and lower at the end.
As we can see, depending on the reimbursement system used by the entity where we have applied for the loan, the installments to be paid will change and so will the amortization table. Likewise, the French system is still the most used by the entities that offer loans in Spain.
Calculate the amortization table of a loan
To calculate a repayment schedule for a loan we need a loan calculator since it is a complex calculation that can not be done by hand. The purpose of amortization tables is to know how much interest we will pay in total and how much interest will be generated. With the free calculator we can know these two factors (total cost and interest generated) according to the loan that we request, the term in which we want to reimburse it and the entity we go to:
How the term affects the repayment of a loan
Although it seems that they have no relationship, the term and the total interest that will be generated by the financing we hire are directly proportional. That is, the longer we take to repay the loan, the more interest will be generated. This is because interest accrues on the requested capital during the time in which we are reimbursing it. Thus, the longer the term, the more we will pay in total.
To see it more clearly we can check it in the following table, where with two loans of the same amount and interest its cost will be different simply by changing the months during which we will reimburse the financing:
|€ 5,000
|€ 5,000
|6 months
|24 months
|€ 805 / month
|€ 224 / month
|Total interest generated
|€ 102
|€ 373
As we can see when the term is longer the interest generated in total increases. The key to not overpaying is to choose the highest monthly payment that we can make considering our other financial obligations to shorten the maximum repayment term and, thus, cut interest accrued as much as possible.
