Ns3 download
Typically, in Ns3 download the computer software is divided into two different broad classes. There are system software and application software. The various computer resources are organized by the system software according to some computing model. Such resources are memory, processor cycles, disk, network, etc. Usually the system software does not use those resources to complete tasks that directly benefit a user. Typically application software runs a user that acquires the resources used by the users are controlled by the system software to accomplish some goal. Both system software and application software plays a vital role in the Ns3 download. Since the Ns3 download want both software classes to complete the downloading process with efficiently.
The line of separation often between system and application software is made at the privilege level change. In operating system traps the line of separation is happened. Especially no concept of privilege levels or system calls and there is no real concept of operating system in Ns3 download. However, we have the idea of an application and we do the Ns3 download. Just to perform tasks in the "real world" software applications run on computers. The ns-3 Nodes run the ns-3 applications to drive simulations in the simulated world on Ns3 download.
Over the public Internet the Ns3 download for building and managing secure private networks by utilizing global cloud computing infrastructure is defined as cloud networking which is a new networking paradigm. The traditional network functions and services in cloud networking including security, management and control, connectivity are pushed to the cloud and delivered as a service.
In arbitrary undirected planar graphs all known face and combined greedy-face routing variants cannot guarantee message delivery which is recently reported by the Ns3 download. Specifically the Ns3 download also shoes that from a greedy routing failure is always possible in relative neighborhood and Gabriel graphs recovery without changing between any adjacent faces. By traversing the very first face guaranteed delivery then follows from guaranteed recovery. However, in arbitrary graphs the greedy routing can be restarted again recovery from a greedy routing failure may require visiting a sequence of faces is important for a proper face selection mechanism. Sequences of faces are visited by prominent approaches which are intersected by the line connecting the source and destination node. The critical part is to decide when the face traversal has to change to the next adjacent one or not whenever encountering an edge which is intersecting with this line.
By incorporating face routing procedures may occurs failures that force to change the traversed face at each intersection. The well known GFG algorithm cannot construct the GPSR algorithm which does not force changing the face anytime. The faces intersected by the source destination line are visited by the methods besides the GFG algorithm. The Ns3 download discussed on when the next face has to be explored the face routing variants which simply restart face routing. The first complete and formal proofs are given in the Ns3 download that several proposed face routing and combined greedy face routing schemes. In specific graph classes or even any arbitrary planar graphs these schemes provides the guarantee delivery. The reasons why other methods may fail to deliver a message or even end up in a loop are also discussed in Ns3 download.

The genealogy market lacks tools that help genealogists build well documented family trees. Our online family tree builder program is designed to help genealogist do just that.
Franklin Lakes, NJ (PRWEB) February 10, 2011
Savvy genealogists have long known the benefits of building their family tree online in a collaborative environment. A common approach is to find other genealogists who are searching the same surname in hopes of exchanging genealogical data to minimize their own research efforts. Today, ourFamily•ology unveils two new collaboration features aimed at helping subscribers build their family history.
The first new feature allows genealogists to search for a common ancestor and see basic data from anyone's tree that has enabled this feature. Users can also contact and exchange information in hopes of sharing research.
The second feature gives the ability to share documents with other subscribers. There are only a small percentage of genealogical documents available online. Genealogists need to do field research to uncover and document their family history. ourFamily•ology now provides a tool where subscribers can share their findings such as wills, probate records, photos, birth certificates, and more.
"Sharing documents and ancestry information is important for the preservation of your family history. Our new features combined with our existing collaboration tools are helping users to build reliable trees," said Brandy Sacco, founder and owner. Last year ourFamily•ology became a certified FamilySearch affiliate to give users the ability to - access, add, exchange data, and collaborate with those contributors. Another feature allows users to invite relatives to help build their family tree.
ourFamily•ology is the only family tree builder that offers a simple way to visually see your progress and provides an accurate rating guide. For the first time, genealogists can easily gain a sense of 'the big picture' of where they are and what they should work on next all at a single glance.
Sign up for a 100 day free trial. No credit card is necessary.
Visit OurFamily•ology at the Rootstech Conference in Utah, held at the Salt Palace Convention Center February 10-12. We can be found at booth 704.
About ourFamily•ology
OurFamily•ology is a web-based genealogy software program that is a certified FamilySearch affiliate. Our main goal is to help users have fun while they build and organize a precise family history and a reliable tree that can be shared with anyone.

It's been feeling rather spring-like in Chicago, as of late, and it has me feeling revived and ready for discovering new things. BUT!--before we get ahead of ourselves, which is pretty easy to do when the thought of SpRiNg is abound, Here's what my current obsessions are and the reason WHY these obsessions are so-stinkin'-amazing is partially because they're from small companies that are growing super fast with unique goods:
Happy obsessive shopping. Let me know if you have any current obsessions that perhaps should be on my radar, too! I'm always open to a fewwwwwwww more obsessions. (wink!)
Organization Overhaul
Organizing always seems like such a good idea.....especially when I'm flipping through design magazines and see "the perfect" laundry room, a sumptuously sexy closet, or a very well-detailed office space. It looks like pure magic and I almost always wish that my fairy godmother would wave her magic wand and this, too, could be MINE. But alas, it never seems to happen quite that way. This time around, I devised a plan allowing for the least amount of anxiety or overwhelming WTF (Why The Fuss, that is) moments that always seem to happen when doing work on my own space.
Before getting too deep into a design and overwhelming yourself, sit down and brainstorm on how you want your new closet to look and function. What items do you need to store? What do you need easy access to? Currently, what is it about your closet/workspace/laundry room/etc. that causing you to be less productive with your day? If you're not sure....take a few days and as you go through your daily routine take note of what you wish would function more fluidly. I promise that this will pay off in the end versus just dashing into a DIY Pinterest project.
As I can attest, the idea of organizing, cleaning, and re-developing your office space can be stressful and seem like more work than its worth. You may feel a bit wonky at some point during your project if you choose to DIY (we admittedly have and we do this for a living!), but remember that there are oodles of professionals (ahem) who can help you, give you pointers, and do so at a reasonable rate. All you have to do is ask. It's really just that easy. Alternatively, if you do a quick web search, you will find many blogs on DIY closets, tutorials from the Container Store, or Inspired Organization for nearly ANY space of your life. Its borderline amazing the things available to us at the click of a few buttons that can aid us in becoming a more successful and time efficient wizard.
Here at All Things Esque, we often get caught up in the numerous projects we're working on and let our work spaces take the brunt of a hectic week. With day-to-day life, work, and our continuously growing business, we have acquired more supplies, more files and geez-Louise, have we collected more receipts. We love what we do and are always striving to work smarter, not harder. That's why we have decided to reorganize our "creative" closet to be as dope as hell!
Check out some of these spaces that we have found ultra inspiring for our closet:
Have organization tips or questions? Please feel free to share and ask-- We love coming up with creatively functional solutions and learning new tips along the way!
Designs and Decor Trends for 2016
"Fashions fade, but Style is Eternal." So when talking about current or up-and-coming trends we tread lightly and always keep in mind the famous quote of Yves Saint Laurent. We also pride ourselves on living in the moment as much as humanly possible (great goal, riiiiight?) and designing for now not for "someday." None the less, today we are looking forward. With only a few moths left of 2015 (gasp!--where did the time go?!?) we thought we'd share some of the trends we're seeing for 2016 (if for nothing else, so that you can get your holiday wish list in order, of course!).
When adhering to or adopting new trends (even if only partially) keep in mind that not all trends are for everyone nor will they look good with your personal design style. So pick and choose what works for you!--even if it goes against what the trends are forecasting. Well-curated personal style is ALWAYS preferred over trends that aren't well suited for you or your space! Here's a snippet of what we've been seeing for 2016:
Outdoor to Indoor
This trend has been growing for sometime. Expanding on flower arrangements and the occasional shell collection, decorating with natural elements, has ridden on the tail coats of the whole sustainability movement. My favorite aspect of this progression has been the explosion of living walls. Perfect for decor in the kitchen and/or bathroom. Living walls are integral to well-being and imperative to urban settings....especially if you like to cook with fresh herbs!
Local + Artisan Goods
Be inspired by local finds and globally crafted goods. All types of fiber arts (tassels, macrame, crocheting, weaving) are in. Mixing vintage and artisanal items with main-stream goods can offer a unique feel to your home and support your community or global artists...just ensure you're buying from the artists and not a knock-off.
Stones, Minerals, + Rocks
The desire for natural textures and finishes such as natural stone and a variety of woods juxtaposed against a traditional backdrop can create a modern and fresh home style. While polished geodes have been all the rage, minerals, like this white quartz countertop are taking over.
Metals + Metallics
Midcentury Mod with brass, gold and metallic finishes are popular right now for interiors and in the fashion industry. The retro bling of the 50's and 70's are back and I'm loving it.
Dramatic Colors
Bold and deeply hued colors energize a a space and give a nod to eccentric street style, while maintaining opulent elegance. Exotic, vibrant, over-the-top, impactful contemporary spaces are all the rage in high-end design right now and moving forward.
In the end, updating your space can be oodles of fun!---keep in mind that you want to stay true to yourself and your style, even amidst swoon-worthy trends. If you're in love with a trend that doesn't suit your current decor style and have a budget large enough to COMPLETELY update your decor style, by all means, gimme-a-call and I can help you with this! (Srsly, though.) Otherwise, bringing in "trends" that clash with your current decor will only fight with and hurt your (insert living space here). After-all, "Fashions fade, but Style is Eternal."

Dry rot and Wet Rot treatment
Dry Rot or Wet Rot can best be described as fungal decay to building timbers and is by far the most common, and the most serious cause of damage to building timbers. Contrary to popular belief, Dry Rot and Wet Rot are not limited to old buildings; they can affect all timber, both new and old. Dampness, along with a lack of ventilation, provides the perfect conditions for fungal attack on timber to take place. The fungus, once established, breaks down the cell structure of the affected timbers causing potentially widespread and extensive damage if left untreated.
The Solution
Be it Dry Rot or Wet Rot, the very sight of fungal decay can strike horror into property owners/managers, but don't worry, here at Trustguard we have an array of environmentally friendly treatments to effectivley treat and remove dry rot, wet rot and other forms of fungal decay. Our surveyors are trained in all aspects of Dry Rot and Wet Rot, and it is essential that the correct identification of fungal decay and ultimately the treatment of dry and wet rots is undertaken as soon as the problem is correctly identified.
With our vast range of environmentally friendly treatments, you can trust Trustguard to eliminate your Dry Rot and Wet Rot problems with the minimum of fuss. All treatments come with a long term guarantee giving you peace of mind that your fungal decay problem will be taken care of for good!
Repairs and Fungicidal Treatments
Trustguard's qualified technicians will remove and replace all affected timbers and undertake repairs where necessary to retained sections of timber. All affected timber is treated using the latest environmentally friendly fungicidal treatments to prevent further decay. Depending on severity of the problem, it may be necessary to treat adjacent masonry areas with a spray applied biocide.
- Environmentally friendly water based micro emulsion fungicides and biocides
- Low odour, BBA and HSE approved
- Treated areas can be re- occupied after just one hour
- Applied with surface sprayer or brush applied
Pre-purchase damp and timber surveyYou're just about to purchase a new home, but do you want to find out what really lurks within your timber only when you move in? TrustGuard provide our pre-purchase damp and timber surveys for just this reason, so that you can be confident in the condition of your new home before you purchase it. Click here to find out more
If you're buying a new home, we can provide an in-depth, pre-purchase damp and timber or wall tie survey.

The coal mine, located in the north Karanpura coalfields, was allotted to NTPC in 2004. The last date of submission of bids for the tender is April 4, NTPC said in its tender notice.
In 2015, a revised mining plan was approved by the ministry with a targeted production of 18 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) from the opencast operation by 12th year. This includes 15 MTPA from west and east quarry and 3 MTPA from north-west quarry.
Earlier this month, NTPC became an integrated power company by flagging off the first rake of coal from the Pakri Barwadih mine.

All about virtualisation
Virtualisation is one of the most exciting projects to come out of the modern-day computing world. As most of us have a PC, we can successfully run a variety of different operating systems from within the comfort of our favourite desktop. Whether it's a Windows host, running the latest Ubuntu or a Slackware host running a copy of Windows 8, the possibilities are almost endless.
However, for most OS emulators and virtual machines, we're stuck with using the same x86 combinations within the likes of VirtualBox or VMWare (although there are exceptions). To emulate different CPUs and architectures, we need something different, such as QEMU.

Using AdWords reports to strengthen your PPC campaigns
There is a ton of useful information in your main AdWords campaign summary pages, especially now that they've released the new interface (still in beta). However, on these pages and even in Analytics, you don't get to see the whole story. To most accurately target the keywords, ads & budgets of my AdWords accounts, there are several reports that I rely on which fill in the gaps that are missing from the main performance data.
Search Query Performance Report
Most likely, your ad groups are composed of keywords set to broad, phrase, and exact match (and if not, they should be). With broad match keywords, your ad is triggered when a user searches on a term that Google determines to be similar to your keyword. The Search Query Report lists the exact search queries which triggered your ads and resulted in clicks.
By looking at the report, you can determine new keywords, or even ad groups, which you hadn't originally included by seeing which terms are receiving the most clicks and/or conversions. I've also found the Search Query Report to be extremely useful in determining negative keywords for my campaigns, especially with short-tail terms. The report identifies variations that don't match the original intent of my keywords.
Account/Campaign/Ad Group/Keyword Performance
Depending on how specific you are looking to get, you might use these reports to see an overall view of your data for any amount of time. However, I've found the best thing about these reports to be their customizability, from a unit of time, to a date range, to specifically what type of data I am looking to see (CTR, conversions, etc.).
I have often used these reports to show the historical success of my campaigns over each day of the week. By selecting "day of week" from the drop down menu and choosing a relatively large amount of time, I can often determine the best days to focus our clients' PPC budgets, which can be extremely beneficial, especially for smaller ad budgets. A similar report can be used to determine peak hours of the day (choose hourly from the drop down menu). By taking advantage of AdWords' ad scheduling feature, you can focus your budget only during the hours of the day in which you receive the heaviest number of clicks.
Geographic Report
Whether you are a large nationwide operation or a small local company, geotargeting is an important tool. The Geographic Report is an excellent way to determine areas in which you have the most success (or the least). The report can be customized to show as broad of an area as entire countries, or as narrow as a single city.
If you find that your ads are especially successful in a certain area, it might be worthwhile for you to allocate a certain amount of your budget to specifically target that region (just make sure to exclude that area from any other campaigns which might overlap those targeted regions). You may also find areas where your ads are far less successful. In that case, it may be wise to exclude these areas in an effort to focus your ad dollar on those regions which are most likely to convert.
These are just a few of my favorites. There are plenty of other reports in AdWords that are also highly beneficial, and I encourage you to dig around and explore this often underused feature. No matter your PPC advertising budget, each of these can help you to allocate your budget in the most efficient, targeted way.

text: PRETORIA: After a six-week break, the murder trial that has gripped South Africa and the world resumes on Monday when Paralympian Oscar Pistorius (pix) returns to the dock after a month of psychiatric tests. The star sprinter has tried to argue that a "generalised anxiety disorder" contributed to him shooting dead his 29-year-old model girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine's Day last year. He admits shooting Steenkamp with a 9mm pistol through a locked toilet door, but says it was a mistake as he thought she was an intruder coming to attack him in the dead of night. The prosecution argues it was cold-blooded murder following a row between the young couple and has gathered evidence of a tempestuous relationship. Judge Thokozile Masipa last month ordered Pistorius to spend 30 days under psychiatric observation to determine if he should be held criminally responsible for the killing. The ruling followed testimony from an expert witness for the defence who claimed Pistorius suffers from an anxiety disorder that could explain why he reacted so violently to a perceived break-in. His defence team has claimed the deep-seated anxiety dates back to the amputation of his lower legs as a child and the influence of a mother who abused alcohol and slept with a gun under her pillow out of fear of South Africa's high crime rates. The outcome of Pistorius's assessment may dramatically alter the direction of the trial, with leaked media reports suggesting that the three specialists who monitored him had come to an "unanimous" conclusion about his state of mind. Minor disorder If they diagnose a serious mental illness, Pistorius may get "admitted to psychiatric hospital indefinitely," said Sean Kaliski, a forensic psychiatrist who conducts hundreds of medical assessments annually at Valkenberg Hospital, a facility outside Cape Town. But it is highly unlikely that a relatively minor disorder such as a generalised anxiety could have an impact on sentencing in a murder trial, said Kaliski. "Never, never, no one has ever used it in a forensic sentence. It would be a first if this is used successfully now, a world first," he said. "It's usually serious matters - schizophrenia, dementia, bipolar disorder." Local television network eNCA said on Friday that the three psychiatrists had submitted a brief report to the prosecution and defence, and a full report would be made public once it has been studied by the judge. Pistorius has been attending daily sessions as an outpatient at Weskoppies Hospital outside Pretoria since May 20. One of his lawyers, Brian Webber, declined to comment on his well-being, saying: "It's a private matter." The athlete has often broken down during the proceedings, sobbing and vomiting when graphic details about Steenkamp's death were presented to the court. His outbursts were so frequent that his defence team started keeping a bucket close by the dock. His trial started in March and has attracted global media attention. He has pleaded not guilty to Steenkamp's murder and other charges related to ammunition possession. He faces a maximum of 25 years in prison if convicted of murder. Judicial sources say once all the evidence has been presented - estimated to take between one and two weeks - the defence and prosecution will require a few more weeks to compile their written submissions before presenting them to court. They will return to court to answer final questions on their arguments. South Africa does not have jury trials, so a verdict will be delivered by the judge after a few weeks' deliberation. – AFP

Colmar-Berg, Luxembourg, February 23, 2016 – Tyre manufacturer Goodyear Dunlop is recalling 1,084 Dunlop SportMaxx GT summer passenger car tyres in size 255/40ZR19 100Y XL produced in weeks 37 and 38 of 2015, in order to retrieve 369 tyres which were manufactured with an incorrect tread compound.
The affected tyres can be identified by a DOT number on the sidewall of the tyre reading DN5W JC1R 3715 or DN5W JC1R 3815. No other of the company's brands, products or sizes are affected.
The use of the incorrect compound reduces significantly the tyre's wet grip performance which presents a road safety risk.
The manufacturer is contacting motorists, tyre and car dealers and vehicle manufacturers who may have any of these tyres in stock or on a vehicle, asking them to contact the company immediately to have these tyres exchanged at no cost.
All motorists who identify these tyres on their cars must avoid any driving in wet road conditions. If drivers can't reach the tyre or car dealer in dry road conditions, the tyre manufacturer will provide an alternative solution.
To date, the company has not received any reports of incidents in connection with these tyres.
To arrange replacement or ask any questions regarding this safety recall, the company's customer service center can be contacted at phone 01902 327135.
The respective authorities in each affected country have been notified about this safety recall action.

1 cup white flour (these ain't meant to be healthy)
1/2 C boiling water
1/2 C finely sliced green onions
sesame oil
canola oil
Add boiling water to flour in a bowl. Stir to form a dough. If the dough seems too dry, you can sprinkle in a bit of cold water until it is the right consistency.
Divide dough ball into 3 pieces. Roll each one out, in turn, very thin. Dot on some sesame oil and smooth over surface of dough with your hand (or a pastry brush, if you're the fancy type). Sprinkle with a bit of salt, then sprinkle over some green onion slices (I do this by eye, but basically you use 1/3 of the 1/2 Cup).
What you do now is roll the flat "pancake" up like a jelly-roll. Then, once it is rolled, turn it sideways and roll it again so that it's like a snail. Then, turn it on it's side and flatten it into a circle. (it will look like a slightly-coiled circle)
With your rolling pin, roll it out to 6" or so.
Heat canola oil in a pan. I just spray the pan liberally with canola oil, but I know my Mom uses more. I think they are usually done a bit more on the oily side, I just prefer a bit less. When the oil is hot, add the onion cake and cook until browned on both sides (1-2 minutes per side, depending on size of cake and hotness of pan)
Mix up a combination of soy sauce & rice vinegar (with or without a touch of chile paste) to dip. I think I use about 3:1 soy sauce to vinegar?? I never measure. Just splash & taste

Pitching a Loaf Podcast
Dr. Lin Carson dives into the big questions surrounding bread and the baking industry—from her experiences of a 90 day bread diet, to the key issues bread bakers encounter, to industry trends and tips. Together with her co-hosts Dave Dahl, founder of Dave's Killer Bread, and Puratos' David Dublawe, she talks with experts, suppliers and bakers. So go grab some bread and get ready for some excellent insight into the world of bread!
The final results are in! After a loaf a day for 90 days, Dr. Lin Carson shares her final weight and levels. Did she gain 20 pounds like everyone thought she would, or was her hunch right that a diet full of bread isn't as terrible as people think? Read More
There's no question about it: consumers want a cleaner and simpler label. Although many chemicals have GRAS (Generally Regarded As Safe) status from the FDA, people want them out of bread. But don't worry bakers! There are natural alternatives out there to make your bread delicious as ever! Read More
Could sourdough be the lean, clean savior of the bread industry? Dr. Lin Carson thinks so. Along with Dave Dahl, she addresses what many bakeries may be experiencing: as delicious and popular as sourdough is, it can be a headache! Between time, scheduling, need for skilled labors, and the cost of destroying a starter, it's no small feat. But not an impossible one. Read More
Ah, shelf life: one of the most important, yet challenging aspects of baking. Dr. Lin Carson and Dave Dahl dive into the two sides of the shelf-life coin: mold and staling. Lin suggests using ingredients like sugar or honey to make bread softer longer, while also inhibiting mold. But baking time and temperature are also key. Read More
Pitching a Loaf is on the road! Today's episode comes to you from the Johnson and Wales International Bread Symposium. Dr. Lin Carson and co-host, David Deblauwe of Puratos, bring on founder Peter Reinhart to learn just why the world needs an academic platform to discuss bread. Read More
Summer is coming. And for most of us bakers, that means more issues with mold. Further extending product shelf life is something we all strive for. But what's the best and safest way? Dr. Lin Carson and Dave Dahl reveal some of the things they've done to keep mold at bay, from cultured wheat to deep cleaning. Read More
Do you know what's happening in your oven? You should, your bakery could be doing a lot better. That's the lesson one baker shares with Dr. Lin Carson and David Deblauwe on today's show. For years, their large-scale bakery had been experiencing 10-15% waste in bread products. Now, they have it down to 2%. How? Read More
Yeast is something you don't want to mess around with when baking bread. As Dr. Lin Carson and Dave Dahl discuss today, having quality, reliable yeast is a big part of bread production. But not all fermentation has to do with yeast. Read More
The texture of bread is no crummy matter. Dr. Lin Carson and co-host David Deblauwe pick the mind of two guests who know a thing or two about texture. One comes from a long line of bakers, five generations to be exact. Scott Baker is president of 5 Generation Bakers. Read More
What is it about bread that makes it stand out? How do you turn a few common ingredients into a unique, mouth-watering product? According to today's co-host David Deblauwe, who heads Puratos' sourdough flavors and marketing in North America, a huge part is perfecting and being creative with…flavor! Read More
A week into a loaf a day, and problems arising already? Dr. Lin Carson tells Dave Dahl that 6 days into her challenge she began experiencing some pain that sounded a lot like gluten inflammation. The culprit? Sodium. You may not know it, but bread has a lot of sodium. Read More
Bread is bad for you. You're going to get fat. You shouldn't eat all that gluten. These comments came from all directions as Dr. Lin Carson started her journey of eating a loaf a day, for 90 days (yeah, you read that right). Today she is joined by Dave Dahl, founder of Dave's Killer Bread, to discuss why bread is getting a bad rap. Although it's bursting with good energy and nutrients, fake news is feeding the idea that bread and gluten are the bad guys. Read More

What do these things have in common; diet, age, hormones, genetics, alcohol consumption and air pollution?
These are just some of the more well known triggers of acne breakouts. But did you know that something like your everyday toothpaste could be breaking you out? Who would have thought as you silently scrub your pearly whites that you could possibly be aggravating your skin? If you're here from my latest video:
I'll share another potential everyday item (for some) that may lead to breakouts.
I remember about a year ago I was scouring internet forums reading countless amounts of topics about skin when I happened across a post which mentioned toothpaste and shampoo ingredients can cause breakouts. It's funny but I'd never considered even some of them but there's such a possibility that they could be the cause of little bumps and irritation. Today I share with you ways you could be unintentionally causing skin drama.
Your Phone
Yes, your little PC in your pocket could be making those bumps rise like Krakatoa on your face. With the risk of sounding like a germaphobe here's how it could happen. We wash our hands as soon as we come home from an outing because we know we just drove home, touched our steering wheel, those hands just touched the shopping trolley/cart that only 30 minutes before you was being pushed around by a guy/girl who had a raging cold and transferred his/her germs all over the handle bar and oh I don't know, he/she could have touched their own oily face too transferring more icky bacteria all over the place. In between all that, we just got an important phone call and touched our mobile/cell. I promise I don't think of all that when I come home, I just routinely run to the basin. But think of the times you put that phone to your face or text your mum/mom or friends and then scratch your nose or chin and then there they are, having a party on your face. My solution is to always wipe down my phone with an antibacterial wipe or anything containing alcohol in it. Just be sure it's safe to use on your phone because you don't want a damaged phone!
We rest our pretty faces on these things for 6 + hours a night so lets get real. When's the last time you washed your bed sheets? Keeping your pillowcases clean means that you're placing your face down on a surface that is free from germ build up. Also you'll find that some skin care products can transfer onto them which is inevitable but try to wash them regularly. If you're super duper hygienic then maybe change them every two days.
How do you wash your hair? Many do so standing upright, (I tip my head over and have my hair wash straight onto the shower floor if that makes sense). I think it's pretty uncommon but for most, the upright way is the way. You'll find shampoo gathers around your forehead, sideburns, cheeks and even down your neck, back and chest. If you've noticed any breakouts on your body it could be from the ingredients in your good old shampoo. Take a look at the products list of long, crazy words you can't pronounce. The more familiar you become the more you take notice of some repeat offenders that routinely cause irritation and give them the flick.
Brushing your teeth is a double daily do and quite like the shampoo, has the chance to get on the surrounding skin around your mouth. If you notice redness, irritation or any other bumps central to this area and no where else then this may be the cause! Try switching to another brand that may prove to keep your skin happier.
Finally, if you've read to the very end (pats on back) thank you. Add these little guys to your once a week wash list. For most, sunglasses are a trendy staple for protecting your peepers but for others like me I also wear glasses for distance mostly driving and watching TV, others for close up, reading the daily newspaper, Cosmo mag or Kindle book. We touch these very often in fact putting them on and taking them off our faces. The frames are probably the most irritating as they smudge but being that they have such a close proximity to our eyes and face it could be a potential health hazard! I give my lenses a good spray with the solution however I wash my entire glasses frames and all with antibacterial dish washing soap about once a week for a thorough clean. I don't want to be responsible for any ruined prescription glasses because we all know they aren't cheap, so do so with caution! Dry immediately after. Honestly, my lenses are never clearer and those nasty germs are banished. Side note: remember to wash your little glass cleaning cloths regularly too!
I hope you enjoy and gained some insightful information on the pesky ways our day to day items and routines could play havoc with your skin.
Remember to love your health! 🙂

Ranked #7 On Greenlight Now
Submitted by admin on Tue, 05/06/2014 - 19:05
Currently The game is Ranked 7, I should be excited but feels none. Although the chances of getting selected in the next batch is high but I doubt whether that will happen.
(March) Last month after one batch of 75 games got green lighted, Stained was in top 100, slowly slipped into 99% as the week progressed.
After another batch of 75 it got a desired #50 rank and was hanging around it for last few weeks. I was hoping it will get green lighted in the next batch but to my surprise the next batch of 75 title did not include stained.
So, If you are in three digit or two digit ranks don't get your hopes too high!

Pall Mall Medical - for all your private healthcare needs, whether you are self-paying or have private medical insurance.
Chemical skin peels help to regenerate the skin by improving the tone and texture and appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. They are a deep exfoliating treatment which removes the top layer of skin, helping to reveal a brighter, fresher complexion. At Pall Mall Medical, we offer a selection of different grades of glycolic and TCA peels.
All facial chemical peels are applied by a Consultant Facial Surgeon within a free of charge consultation.
To prepare the skin prior to your peel and to maximise the effects of the peel afterwards, home care kits are highly recommended. These are to be used at home before and after your treatment as a maintainer.
It is advised that you start to use the products two weeks prior to your peel appointment. Products can be purchased over the phone and posted to you directly. As a maintainer, singular products can also be purchased.
One of the most popular types of chemical peels is glycolic peels. These are a milder peel which helps to improve the texture of the skin by removing the top layer of dead skin and boosting the growth of new skin. As well as making the skin look more vibrant, glycolic peels can also lessen the look of fine lines and improve minor pigmentation.
The skin experts at Pall Mall Medical recommend a course of 4 glycolic peels for optimum results. These are superficial peels for epidermal stimulation, dull complexions and wrinkles. They have an extremely smoothing effect for softer skin. Made by DermaCeutic, these professional peels soften irregularities caused by acne, actinac keratosis and pigmentation disorders.
The Mask Peel is excellent for greasy, acne-prone skin with visible pores, excess sebum and facial cleansing. The Mask contains 30% glycolic acid.
The Milk Peel is excellent for dull complexions, wrinkles, epidermal stimulation and has a smoothing effect for softer skin. The Milk contains 50% glycolic acid and 10% lactic and salicylic acid.
Both the Milk and Mask Peels are applied by a facial surgeon, after a free of charge consultation. Maintenance creams are available for purchase to ensure a well-tailored personal care treatment at home.
TCA (Trichloroacetic acid) peels are a medium grade peel which helps with pigmentation, fine lines and rejuvenation. These peels are popular with patients who have ageing skin, dark spots and wrinkles.
Smoker's complexions, stretch marks and acne scars benefit better from this stronger peel. Patients will expect to see some visible signs of peeling for around 2 days, approximately 3 to 4 days after having the peel applied. This peel works deeper into the skin than the glycolic peel helping to bring brand new fresh pink skin to the surface.
Cosmo peels contain lactic acid, salicylic acid, citric acid, retinyl palmitrate, ascorbic acid, selenomethionine and alpha tocopherol acetate.
Up to 3 peels are recommended for the best results at 2-week intervals. We recommend patients combine this deeper peel with a well-tailored personal care treatment at home. We ask patients to apply serum and turnover cream before and after the peels.
Peel / kit
Milk and Mask Peels
£95 each
Cosmo Peels
£150 per peel

Football is the world's greatest drama and EA SPORTS™ FIFA 15 will put fans center stage. So close to the real thing, FIFA 15 takes fans on a dramatic ride – immersing them in the game so they feel and experience everything that happens on the pitch.
Launching today, the 'Feel The Game' campaign celebrates the arrival of FIFA 15 and depicts how players are now so close to the action they can literally feel the emotion of every tackle, save, and goal. Created by Wieden+Kennedy Amsterdam, the global campaign kicks off with an epic 2:15 film that puts FIFA 15 fans at the heart of the action. Watch the video:
Immersed in the game's world, the film shows FIFA fans experiencing everything that the players feel. Fans are plunged onto the pitch for an in-game view of the action, separated only by a thin television screen. The action also seeps into their environments; when it rains in game, it pours in their loft; when a player receives a crunching tackle, the FIFA fan takes the impact and falls across the room; and when players rise in unison to protect their goal, objects in the room rise to the occasion.
Lionel Messi plays the hero – even one of the world's greatest football players can feel the emotion of FIFA 15.
The campaign airs globally starting today, with versions of the film running across TV and digital channels. The full-length 2:15TV commercial will also air on US TV broadcast during the Manchester United match on Sunday, September 14th.

MTV Asia Awards 2008
Some pictures we found on site. We'll upload some of our own when we get them. MTV Asia Awards was a lot fun actually. The red carpet was quite hectic, big ups to the mosh-pitters who made it so much fun for Joe! The actual show was quite enjoyable to watch (although they could do with a few international Hip Hop acts!). And the post-party, despite it being held at the hotel's food court, turned out to be alright in the end! Well done, MTV Asia. Look forward to the next one!
Thank You Louis Vuitton!
Project E.A.R (East Asian Revolution) made out of Dali from Ahli Fiqir(Singapore), Pop Shuvit, Saint Loco (Indonesia), Slapshot (Philippines), Silksounds & Thaitanium (Thailand). They performed a medley of Pop Shuvit's Freakshow and Merbahaya. It was the best show of the night!!! The celebrities actually got up in the end to give a standing ovation! Moots even did some surfing which was crazy as there weren't many mosh-pitters in the front of the stage to begin with! Check out their performance at the MTV Asia Awards website.

Pretty Little Liars is FINALLY back tonight and I've been watching reruns all day leading up to the long awaited Halloween episode! Here's a quick and easy dinner recipe for you to whip up tonight and enjoy while you watch the premiere! I'm not kidding when I say this is a quick meal...even A might be able to take time away from her scheming to make this without losing sight of the liars...
|Avocado & Feta Salad
-Feta Cheese
Throw them all together in a bowl and call it a day!
|Stuffed Bell Peppers
-Bell Peppers
-Olive Oil
-Pepper Jack Cheese
-Gluten Free Soy Sauce
In a pan, I combined the olive oil, already cooked rice, mushrooms, pineapple, and gluten free soy sauce (you can use regular soy sauce too). I let all the ingredients cook for a bit...about 10 minutes or so. In the mean time, I had the oven preheating at 350. Once my filling was done, I placed a small cube of cheese at the bottom of the bell pepper, added some filling, and topped it with a bit more cheese. I then baked the peppers in the oven for 20 minutes and they were done! Yum!
This is really quick, and really simple. You can use just about anything to stuff the peppers with which makes the possibilities endless. Quick, get to your kitchen! Show starts in only 2 hours! Enjoy, and thanks so much for stopping by!
I mean,

Markus Schulz: breathes the City of Angels
The twinkling lights of a nocturnal scenery have once again been translated into sound. From the glamorous hills of Hollywood to the calming sea-side of Venice Beach, there's many things of inspiration to be found in Los Angeles. But what really inspired American DJ/producer Markus Schulz to name his new city compilation after the city of angels, is its vibrant, promising nightlife. To celebrate the release of his 'Los Angeles '12', we named Markus our artist of the week and ask him all about his fascination for this beautiful city.
First of all, you've just released the 'Los Angeles '12' compilation! How was the release party at Avalon, LA?
Markus:"It was incredible, without doubt one of the greatest and most inspirational weekends in my life. Feeling the tiredness quite a bit today though. We sold out two back to back nights at Avalon months in advance and I ended up playing a combined 17 hours! Nights like these reminded me of why I got into the dance scene in the first place, so I need to take a moment and thank everyone who attended the shows.
Each night was special in its own way for me. Saturday was a ten and a half hour open to close solo set, which meant that I was effectively playing the role of warm-up, headliner and afterhours / closer all rolled into one. These are the nights where I can genuinely provide people with the full spectrum of the Markus Schulz sound. Sunday night was different but still just as fun. We had Grube & Hovsepian warming things up then Jochen Miller taking things on, and then I took to the decks for five and a half hours playing on my own and doing two back to back sessions with Arnej and Mr. Pit.
I guess one of the most satisfying things about both nights is the reaction from the audience towards the new tracks featured on the compilation, because it means that I've got a few gems in place for my live sets going forward for the next while."
When was the moment you really fell in love with Los Angeles' dance scene and you decided to dedicate your compilation to it?
Markus:"I have been playing gigs in LA for many years, and when my career was starting out I used to get quite overwhelmed by visiting the city. People have so many options and so many clubs to visit on a Friday or Saturday night so you have to work really hard to develop a following there. Luckily I had a great set of people on the Tranceaddict boards and elsewhere who embraced what I was about quite early, and they helped spread the word to others recommending to see me perform.
The real watershed moment came at Together as One on New Year's Eve 2005. It was probably my first experience playing for a massive rave audience in the US, and afterwards it made me feel that I was really gathering momentum in my career. I went on to play TAO on New Year's Eve again in 2009 and 2010, as well as three straight Monster Massive events between 2006 and 2008 and the Electric Daisy Carnival in 2009.
But the tipping point towards giving the city a compilation berth was the beginning of my long nights at Avalon. The first was filmed for the Do You Dream DVD Documentary back in May 2010, and could feel an immediate vibe that this was a venue I could express myself truly and develop a story there. Last year I did two shows there in May and August, and both nights I was only scheduled to play for three hours, but wound up playing for seven. The one thing I noticed about these shows is that it wasn't exclusively just an LA crowd - you'd have people flying in from San Francisco, Las Vegas, New York and even from as far away as Sydney. So it felt like an international congregation with LA being the centre cub for fans to unite and party."
Some of the names whose tracks you've featured on past compilations, have returned with new, quality tracks for 'LA '12' as well. Which producers never fail to create a special track - no matter what city compilation you're at? Any producers that blossomed and sort of grew along with the series?
Markus:"Quite a few! Rex Mundi is the first name to spring to mind; since he's contributed to every compilation since Amsterdam '08, and had some real iconic moments like 'Nothing at All' and 'Opera of Northern Ocean' along the way. 'Valley of Dreams' from Prague '11 last year was massive and he features in a big way on LA, with his tracks 'Opaque' and 'Shocking Blue' blowing up in my live-sets recently. Beat Service delivered a monster in 'Outsider' for Prague and 'Fortuna' looks like it will do the same for me this year. Mr. Pit has consistently been there and he made an absolute beauty in 'River of Hearts' to close out disc 2.
KhoMha announced himself in grand fashion through 'Rainy in the Night' on Prague and he's never been out of my liveset playlists ever since, and his tracks 'Mind Gamer' and 'Artemis' on LA have both been huge for me this year. And also, Grube & Hovsepian had a big breakthrough last year with 'Invisible' featuring on Prague. They're back this year having teamed up with my buddy Elevation to deliver 'City of Angels', and to be honest with you, that could well end up being a track of the year contender for many."
Considering dance is flourishing there so much, all eyes are focused on the US now, it seems. What's your opinion on that one? Europe, move over, USA is going to be 'the place for EDM'?
Markus:"Despite being German born and bred, I feel so proud of what is happening to the scene in the US. It's taken such a long time for the scene here to catch up with what has been happening in Europe for many, many years now, but finally I think it has. So I think ideally we'll have a worldwide scene that is as vibrant on both continents and elsewhere in the world. Luckily for me I hold residencies at venues on either side of the pond, from Ministry of Sound in London to Space in Miami and Marquee in Las Vegas, and of course Ibiza every summer too."
You told us that in LA, a new generation of clubbers is uniting with long-term fans. Being a part of the dance scene for so long, I think we're safe to ask you: is change always a good thing?
Markus:"I think there are two sides to this. First and foremost it is great that we have a new generation of clubbers coming through, because it shows that our scene is going to remain in good health for many years to come. And from this generation, you're going to find producers with fresh and amazing ideas that we've never heard before. That's always been the mantra behind the Coldharbour label - finding these young talents and giving them a platform to develop and showcase their talents to the world. With the younger fans there is this 'wow factor' - everything to them is new and with that comes this aura of excitement and energy.
My biggest fear however, and I think the long-time fans will understand what I'm saying, is that the actual art of DJ'ing and programming a DJ set could be lost. Nowadays you see so often producers who score a big hit and are thrust into a hectic tour schedule, where they are basically learning the ropes about DJ'ing on the go. I have the fear that in 15 or 20 years we may not find the genuine DJs who know how to tell a story and develop something with their set progression - the Danny Tenaglia's, Sasha's or Paul Oakenfold's of this world for example.
This is why I make such an effort to try and secure these solo nights in the big cities, because it means that I can properly build a night and not only satisfy the younger fans with the peak-hour section and the hits, but cater to the long-time fans who are the ones that are there from the first minute to last. It is not in my interests to cast aside the fans that have been there for me and helped me grow in the first place."
Different subject! In these past few weeks, you've invited Arnej, Mr. Pit and Dennis Sheperd into your studio. When can we expect to hear the results of that?
Markus:"Some of you may already have without realising it! I did the collab with Dennis Sheperd during one of the weeks I was staying in Berlin in between gigs, and been road testing it in my sets since December. Haven't debuted it on the radio yet but I think it might be something to showcase to the world during one of the ASOT 550 live events. Arnej flew down to Miami just before Christmas to work with me in the studio and I've been tweaking it over the past few weeks, not quite finished yet but won't be far away. Mr. Pit just came over to Miami last week and will be staying here for a while. He's going to be doing a few gigs in the US while he's here; the first of course was the LA Release Party at Avalon on Sunday night."
How far along are you with the follow-up to the 'Do You Dream?' album? Any idea when we can expect it?
Markus:"Right now I'm in the process of working with singers and songwriters for the next Markus Schulz album. These albums take much longer than the Dakota albums as a result, because with song writing you have a lot more emotional investment rather than producing straight-up tracks specifically for the clubs. All of my time in between gigs is being spent on the album and the radio shows, so hopefully you may see the results later in the year."
Then, last but not least – some questions from our Twitter followers!
Imran Bahloo: What is his favourite synth plugin / VST and why?
Markus:"I still love the ease of Sylenth1. I like to make my own sounds and Sylenth1 lends itself perfectly to that. I also love Massive, much for the same reasons. Massive has a much bigger sound I find, and all of the editing parameters and not right in front of you as in Sylenth1 but nonetheless it makes great sounds. For percussion I have really fallen in love with Metrum. It's great for coming up with great sounding kicks while on an airplane or in a hotel room."
Suraj Mandavia: What's your favorite breakfast after a gig?
Markus:"It's funny you should ask that since I've just been in Los Angeles. There's a great little place called Kitchen 24, where they serve the wakey, wakey, eggs and bakey. That hits the spot each time. If you've seen the Do You Dream DVD then you'll know the place I'm talking about."
Christian T Media: Which city in USA would be perfect fit for being capital for trance as New Orleans for blues?
Markus:"That's a really interesting question and to be honest I don't think there's a straightforward answer. You have so many candidates - New York because of the great nights at Pacha and the Electric Zoo festivals, Chicago has always had a great scene, my hometown of Miami since it hosts Winter Music Conference year after year and the residency nights I've had there, Los Angeles because of all the massive raves and the nights at Avalon, and Las Vegas, which thanks to places like Marquee, is now being seen by many as the North American equivalent of Ibiza.
I think we can just be proud of what is happening in these cities and the country overall. The one thing I'd like to stress is that with the Los Angeles '12 compilation, I'm not necessarily showing favoritism over other US cities. Hopefully it is something that everyone living in the US can embrace and be proud of, because now clubbers and fans from all over the world want to travel here to party and experience this scene from all four corners of the world."

Movie with Abe: Prometheus
Directed by Ridley Scott
Released June 8, 2012
There's a certain tested formula to making certain science fiction movies. A diverse crew ends up trapped somewhere in deep space as they start meeting an unknown enemy with abilities far beyond their own. There are some believers onboard, and others that doubt that there is any real danger - those are, of course, the first to die. This standard was established by films like director Ridley Scott's "Alien" in 1979, and it works just as well today, in films like this that thrill and chill just as much while boasting astonishing cinematography and visual effects.
What's most crucial in updating an old-age format is a positive and creative vision of the future. "Prometheus" sets most of its action in 2093, as a crew of seventeen awakens from cryostasis after two years to find themselves on a scientific expedition to find an alien race that may have created humankind. Their ship is massive and filled with the most modern, and more importantly, futuristic technology, and the landscapes on the planet are awe-inspiring and magnificent. It may be a familiar story with expected twists and turns, but when it's told in such an elegant, invigorating fashion, it's well worth another version.
The characters aboard the mission are also quite recognizable – the firm believer scientist (Noomi Rapace), the doubtful scientist (Logan Marshall-Green), the cocky pilot (Idris Elba), the humorless corporate commander (Charlize Theron), and, of course, the robot (Michael Fassbender). The character tropes are perfect for this particular story, as its terror comes from the disparity of beliefs and degrees of panic expressed by the various personalities. Casting strong international actors works to the film's advantage since it makes them more three-dimensional, adding superb acting to a film in which that's hardly essential.
"Prometheus" deserves special commendation for Fassbender, who had a banner year in 2011 playing a sex addict and Magneto in the newest X-Men movie. Here, he plays cyborg David with the utmost specificity, moving around awkwardly but excitedly and smiling at even the smallest of intriguing words or events. His curiosity knows no bounds, and he's by far the most interesting character in the entire film. That said, the whole cast, including Rapace, who earned her fame from the Swedish version of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," is on their best behavior. Over thirty years after he made his first classic sci-fi film, Ridley Scott has done it again with this engaging, compelling, and truly cool trip back into space where, once again, no one can hear you scream.
