Filmmaker Karan Johar says the revamped and rejuvenated version of song "Kala chashma" in the film "Baar Baar Dekho" will leave behind "a huge smile on the face and a dance in demeanour".
There is a pattern in Bollywood of unveiling the trailer first, but makers of "Baar Baar Dekho", which stars Sidharth Malhotra and Katrina Kaif, are taking a different route altogether.
Excel Entertainment and Dharma Productions will be presenting the first song from the film even before the trailer releases. The makers got the copyright to the "Kala chashma" song earlier -- and the track will be out on July 27, read a statement.
The first glimpse of the song was released in the virtual world on Wednesday.
Karan said: "'Kala chashma 2.0' is a party starter and has been the heartbeat of the Punjabi music scene for over a decade... Our revamped and rejuvenated version has enhanced the energy to an altogether different level."
The filmmaker went on to say that the song is in sync with the ethos of the film, which is directed by Nitya Mehra.
The film narrates what happens in the life of a person from 18 years to 60. It is slated for release on September 9.
Karan added: "'Baar Baar Dekho' is a celebration of life and love, and we thought the song would encapsulate that ethos in the best possible way... It kickstarts our campaign and the trailer will be out soon after... 'Kala Chashma' leaves you with a huge smile on your face and a dance in your demeanour."
The song "Kala Chashma" has been composed and recreated by Badshah, with vocals of Amar Arshi, Badshah and Neha Kakkar.
Choreographed by duo Bosco-Caesar, the song is a remake of Amar Arshi's 1990-Punjabi chartbuster "Tennu kala chashma jajta ve".
Mehra also shares that "'Kala Chashma' is a celebratory song... It's a fun, foot-tapping, funky number that'll put a swag in everyone's step."

Posted by admin in Tips, Travel | Comments Off on Shopping in Barcelona
Shopping in Barcelona
Any girl heading to the Catalan capital and fashion hotspot of Spain needs to know where to go shopping and how to get there. You might just be heading to Barca for a weekend break with friends or with your other half, but whatever the reason you need to be armed with the right information to get you to the best shopping districts. First off get your trip off to a great start by searching for a saving on your break – I found this eDreams voucher code. Now, let's look at the best of shopping in Barcelona all year round:
Zara is on nearly every UK high street too but somehow the selection in Spain is a lot better. These brands are now internationally known for giving the customer high fashion at high street prices. However as the stock of each shop depends on the demand of the customers in the area you might find something different here than what you get at home. Slightly smarter than Bershka, I have seen all ages shopping here. The tailoring is particularly good, so if you are on the lookout for smarter/work clothes then this could be your place.
Massimo Dutti
This brand is another step up in both sophistication and price, however it is still reasonable, I found a fabulous jumper for €36.00. The clothes have more of a Spanish feel in their colour and fabrics, and they have quality accessories and leather shoes and bags.
System Action is similar to Massimo Dutti in both price and style.
If you are looking for International brands then the best thing to do is walk down Passeig de Gràcia. Here you will find Diesel, Miss Sixty as well as MaxMara, Chanel and Louis Vuitton (plus you get the bonus of a bit of sightseeing thrown in as you will pass Guadi's famous building, La Pedrera No. 92 and his Casa Batlló, no. 43. It's a lovely street to wander down, wide and dotted with cafes which can provide a welcome rest, but in the international stores be prepared to pay the same prices as you would in any of these shops in London or Paris.
Santa Eulalia
Santa Eulalia has been dressing wealthy Barcelonins since 1843, and, although it no longer produces its own haute couture, it has become the city's top address for luxury labels such as Marc Jacobs, Lanvin and Etro. Still celebrated for its bespoke shirt-making and men's tailoring, Santa Eulalia also designs its own line of women's ready-to-wear fashions. Their flagship store on the Passeig de Gràcia was sumptuously redesigned by William Sofield in 2011, who incorporated original elements such as the impressive oak staircase, and added an exquisite little café where you can join the perfectly groomed locals over coffee on the terrace.
Cherry Heel
Unleash your inner Carrie Bradshaw at this fabulous boutique full of luxury Italian shoes by the most prestigious and covetable designers. Set in a sumptuous Modernista building, the shop is arranged on several levels, each lined with shelves full of desirable footwear, complemented by bags and accessories. Join the Hollywood A-Listers with a pair of Casadei blade pumps, or pick up some jewel-coloured Pollini sandals. Other labels to drool over include Le Silla and Rupert Sanderson for women and Roberto Botticelli and Alberto Guardiani for men. Cherry Heel also has an online boutique – with, bargain shoppers please note, an outlet section.
Ici et Là
If you're looking for something original for your home, than this airy showroom-cum-gallery may have the answer. Its team of talented designers has created unusual furnishings, lamps, mirrors and artworks, many of which are unique or else part of a one-off series. My favourites are pieces that include recycled objects, such as the Griss sideboard in the 'Rescue Collection', but there are plenty of quirky items, from Indian textiles from India to charming painted glassware, which would fit more easily into your cabin baggage. Ask the staff about custom-made items, if you want your very own completely original piece.
El Corte Ingles
El Corte Inglés is Spain's only department store chain and whatever it lacks in the way of charm and individuality, it makes up for in convenience, size, and post-sales care. (It is, for example, one of few establishments in Spain to accept returns without a quibble.) This is the brand's flagship store in Barcelona, and is very centrally located right on the Plaça Catalunya. Whatever you need, you'll find it here (or in the nearby store on Avinguda Portal de l'Ángel), from electrical goods to soap, and from fashion to souvenirs. In the basement, there is a handy supermarket (open until 10pm) and an excellent gourmet store with fancy deli produce from Spain and around the world.
If you're short of time, or just enjoy a spot of one-stop shopping, head to Zara's flagship store on the Passeig de Gràcia. This massive emporium conveniently gathers the chain's affordable fashions for men, women and children, plus its homeware line, all together in one convenient store. Zara has long been known for its bang-on-trend fashions at bargain prices, and few retailers can match the mega-brand's speed at delivering new designs. About 10,000 designs are launched every year – so you can rely on the Spanish chain to provide you with catwalk fashions at prices that won't break the bank.
Beatriz Furest
I spend inordinate amounts of time with my nose pressed up against this small shop window full of beautiful bags, created from the softest leather in the most beautiful colour combinations. They are all designed and produced in Barcelona, and recent collections have included pretty, vintage-style bags with a chain strap, snap fastenings and a gingham lining, and slim, envelope-style satchels in three shades of leather. The range has been expanded to include some accessories such as belts, purses and a few shoe styles: the beautiful and surprisingly affordable pouches with a single zip make unusual phone cases or make-up bags.

Meet Your New Klingon Overlords—Star Trek: Discovery Introduces 3 More Cast Members
Late last month, Star Trek: Discovery announced that actors Michelle Yeoh, Doug Jones, and Anthony Rapp would be the first three cast members beamed aboard all-new starships in the Brian Fuller-run series debuting in 2017. Now we're getting an intro to three more actors—and possible adversaries: Klingons played by Chris Obi, Shazad Latif, and Mary Chieffo. Here's what we know about their roles:
Chris Obi as T'Kuvma
Obi has a role in the upcoming Ghost in the Shell movie alongside Scarlett Johansson, Michael Pitt, and Juliette Binoche. He's also had guest spots on sci-fi shows like Doctor Who and 2017's American Gods (also a Brian Fuller show). In Discovery, he'll play a Klingon leader on a mission to unite the divided Klingon houses.
Shazad Latif as Kol
In 2015, Black Mirror veteran Latif had roles in The Man Who Knew Infinity and The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. He also played Dr. Henry Jekyll in Showtime's horror drama, Penny Dreadful. Latif will take on the part of the Commanding Officer of the Klingons in the new Star Trek series. His Kol is a protégé of Obi's T'Kuvma.
Mary Chieffo as L'Rell
With just eight acting credits to her name, Chieffo is a relative newcomer. While you may not yet know her work, as the Battle Deck Commander of the Klingon ship on Star Trek: Discovery, she's about to attract a lot more attention.
The new Trek series will premiere on Space in May of 2017.

Parental Influences on the Career Choices & Decision-Making of Adolescents
The teen years can be an exciting time as a teen looks ahead to future career choices. The amount of time parents spend with a teen, the career choices of the parents, and family environment all have an influence on career choices. Parental impact can be both positive or negative in nature. You as parents have the ability to encourage your child towards a particular path, or send them running in a complete opposite direction.
Exposure to Desired Fields
A teenager should feel comfortable talking to her parents about anything, including her aspirations for the future. A child may want to follow in her parents' footsteps, or may want to go in a completely different direction. By having an open relationship with parents, a teen can be exposed to various career options, says KidsHealth. Parents can introduce a teen to friends, business colleagues or other associates that have followed the career path their teen wants to explore. Encourage your teen to communicate her desires to her parents so that they may help her start to develop a network for the future. If a teen wants to be a lawyer, introduce her to the neighbor three doors down who happens to be an attorney. Your teen can then ask pertinent questions and explore the field of law to determine which field she might enjoy most, or which law schools are best.
Family Dynamic Influence
The happiness of a teen within his family creates influences in his career choices, according to Bettina Lankard, career counselor, in the article "Family Role in Career Development." When a teen sees his family happy and flourishing due in part to the career choices of his parents, he will be inclined to follow in the footsteps of his parents. For example, a father that is a police officer who provides well for his family, and whose teen sees his father making a difference in the community, may want to become a police officer also. The same is also true in reverse, according to Lankard. A teen who grows up lonely because his parents are always working, and sees his family struggling financially, may choose a career path in the complete opposite direction of his parents. This choice exemplifies his desire to change his lifestyle, and not end up alienating his future family because of his career choice.
The teen years include:
- self-identity formation
- which is critical in ego development
- according to Eric Middleton
- Teri Loughead
- in the article "Parental Influence on Career Development," appearing in a 1993 issue of "Journal of Career Development." Middleton and Loughead say a teen can experience insecurity while trying to figure out the answer to the question of who she is and what she wants to do in life
At this time in her life, parents are the biggest influences. A teen with a strong sense of self and a firm foundation will more readily be able to identify what her strengths are, and learn how to turn that into a career. A teen who is insecure and unstable may end up floundering for a bit. As parents, be open and honest about communicating with your teen concerning fields in which he excels. For instance, if your teen is a mediocre science student who expresses a desire to become a doctor, be realistic with him about what changes need to occur in order for that career path to open.
Interest in Teen Activities
Parental interest in activities is among the top ways in which parents influence teen career choices, according to career counselor Briana K. Keller for the National Career Development Association. She says when parents show interest in particular activities chosen by their teen, it encourages the teen to further his involvement in that area. For instance, if your teen takes piano lessons, and you attend all recitals and show encouragement for the activity, he is more likely to move further into the area of music. The NCDA says a teen views parental involvement as love and acceptance, so he will be drawn to careers that he feels will draw love and acceptance from his parents.

Degenerative disc disease occurs in the back/neck (spine) as the discs age, beginning the process of degeneration. The discs in your back (spine) provide cushioning for the bones (vertebrae) above and below them, making daily movement comfortable. When discs begin to deteriorate, they lose elasticity, density, and fluid volume. Small tears or cracks may appear in the outer layers of the discs, making them weak. This makes performing cushioning difficult, leaving the bones in the back (vertebrae in the spine) inadequately supported from the discs.
Degenerative disc disease is part of the natural process of getting older. It is sometimes seen in very active younger people or people who have suffered form an injury to their back. The symptoms include pain in the legs or back, tingling or numbness in your buttocks or legs, and difficulty walking. Though degenerative disc disease cannot be cured, pain usually improves over time.
Treatment for Degenerative Disc Disease
This is a serious condition, but can be treated by your medical professional. We specialize in treating chronic pain related to many vertebral conditions. A diagnostic consultation is usually the first step and important to creating a customized treatment plan for the patient. Our physicians use individualized treatment plans that allow our patients to fulfill their daily routines without pain. If you would like to take the next step in treating the symptoms of degenerative disc disease, contact KureSmart Pain Management today and schedule a consultation.
Featured Patient
Kathy Grimley, a patient of Dr. Paul Davies, suffers from Degenerative Disc Disease and has been dealing with severe pain for many years. Kathy suffered neck trauma after a car accident in her early 20's but what really set off her neck pain was something as simple as teaching her granddaughter to swim. When the pain first became too much to bear Kathy went to a Chiropractor. After a few months of treatment, she still felt a great deal of pain and decided she needed to add another method of treatment along with the Chiropractic care.
A friend and former patient of Dr. Davies referred her to KureSmart Pain Management for the treatment of Degenerative Disc Disease. She has now been a patient of Dr. Davies for the last two years and says, "There is no way I could continue to work and live a normal life without Dr. Davies' treatment."
Dr. Davies first treated Kathy with Facet Joint Injection and Epidural Steroid Injections. After receiving the first set of injections Kathy claims, "I felt better within days." She eventually had to undergo surgery to treat her Disc Degenerative Disease, but due to these treatments, she was able to postpone that for quite some time. Now as part of her continued treatment plan she receives Trigger Point Injections twice a month and massage therapy to keep her muscles relaxed and her body at peace.
Kathy describes the treatment for Disc Degenerative Disease at KureSmart Pain Management as, "an overwhelmingly great feeling. The joint effort from everyone is amazing and I feel like a queen when I walk into the office. The staff is great and can't do enough to make you feel comfortable."

Well, that's stylized! :)
Against all reason, it continues to surprise me that your scripts don't just spring fully-formed from the ether. It's cool to see the bits and pieces coming together on the page like this, but at the same time in retrospect it still feels like there's a certain inevitability to how they will end up. Do you ever feel as though some aspects write themselves, or is it all solid authorial graft?

It's that time of year. School is back in session, the weather is wavering between warm and cool, and the boys are back in town.
Hockey is thisclose to being back.
The Caps are stacked this year and I can't wait for them to be back on the ice together as a team. With the addition of Vokun in the net and the ridiculously awesome Roman Hamrlik to the defense, this season is sure to be silly fantastic. I can't wait to see the new chemistry, the new pairings, the new…everything. There's going to be a different dynamic this year and I can already feel it.
I love that the boys are popping up around town, too. From Ovi showing up at rookie camp to Brooks Laich video bombing our local rock radio show teaser, it's great to see that they're back.
I'm cautiously excited for what this season holds for the team and the fans. I want to scream "Unleash the Fury" for no reason at all, but I'm keeping it in until it's time. I want to high-five Ted Leonsis and fist pump Nick Backstrom, Mike Knuble and Jeff Halpern in succession. I can't wait to see them on the ice. I have a feeling it's going to be an electrifying and entertaining experience.
Go Caps!
PS: Caps are in the spotlight, as Hockey News has crowned them the team to beat for the 2012 Stanley Cup.

The standard air clean filter uses static electricity to clean dust and other fine particles such as plant pollen that are too small to see.
Air conditioning filters should be cleaned every three months and ideally they should be cleaned monthly during summer. You should also clean the air vents at the same time. We recommend you make a diary or calendar note at the start of each new year as a reminder.

The fourth chakra is known as the Heart Chakra (Anahata in Sanskrit) and is located at the heart between the solar plexus and the throat. The Heart chakra tunes in to the element air and the color green. This is our connection to love and emotions revolving around love. Here we aspire to love unconditionally and search for the balance of giving and receiving. When balanced we feel self love and love with an open heart. The Heart chakra truly lies in the "heart" of it all and is the bridge between our physical and metaphysical realms.
It is extremely important to seek balance here in our Heart Chakra which also connects to our lungs, upper chest and back, shoulders, arms, hands, skin, immune system, thymus gland, and pulmonary and circulatory systems. When our Heart Chakra is not aligned we may lack self esteem and self love, become demanding, needy, shy or lonely. We may become ruthless and "heartless" with an inability to give and receive love. This may very well strip us of feeling the joy that we truly deserve. Physically we could develop high or low blood pressure, breathing issues such as asthma and lung disease or suffer a heart attack.
To assist our Heart Chakra we may seek essential oils that carry qualities of love and care such as Angelica (Angelica archangelica), Ylang Ylang (Cananga odorata var. genuina), Lavender (Lavendula angustifolia), Rose (Rose damascena), Bergamot (Citrus bergamia), Jasmine (Jasminum grandiflorum), Neroli (Citrus aurantium var. amara) and Melissa (Melissa officinalis) . We may need oils that support our thymus gland such as Rose (Rose amascena), Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifoia) and Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus radiata). For breathing issues and respiratory support we may choose oils such as Galbanum (Ferula galbaniflua), Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus dives), Ravintsara (Cinnamomun camphora ct. 1,8 cineole) , Opoponax (Commiphora guidotti), Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis ct. 1,8 cineole), Peppermint (Mentha x piperita), Spruce (Picea mariana), Ravensara (Ravensara aromatica), Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifoia), Myrtle (Myrtus communis), Myrrh (Commiphora myrrha), Cedarwood (Juniperus virginiana), Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens) or Siberian Fir (Abies sibirica). When we wish to relieve a heavy heart we may be drawn to aromas of uplifting oils such as Sweet Orange (Citrus sinensis), Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens), Lemon (Citrus limon), Frankincense (Boswellia carterii), Mandarin (Citrus reticulata) , Grapefruit (Citrus paradisi), Tangerine (Citrus tangerina), Lavender (Lavendula angustifolia) and Ylang Ylang (Cananga odorata var. genuina).

Release the Power of Your Child's Imagination
Release the Power of Your Child's Imagination and Watch Creativity Blossom
by Kas Winters, The Mother of Family Ideas™
Imagination. We frequently hear the Einstein quote, "Imagination is more important than knowledge." The full quote is even better. The rest of it says: "For while knowledge defines all we currently know and understand, imagination points to all we might discover and create." For children of any age, learning to use that power is a benefit that will reap life-long rewards. So, how do we, as parents, grandparents or people who work with children, encourage that?
1) With school, activities, and Internet, children can be so busy, there is no time to daydream. Imagination flourishes when there is time and space for it to grow. Make sure a child has some "do nothing" time where there are no demands, no schedules to meet, no immediate deadlines, and no electronic media. Nature is made for daydreams–whether it's a walk in a park, looking at the stars at night, watching bugs, birds or other critters, or a hike in the mountains. Places like "forts," tents (indoors or outside), and even cardboard boxes are conducive to creative thoughts.
2) Provide non-specific materials for fun. So many of the toys and electronic items kids use have an agenda. Activities such as "Color-by-number," "Make it look just line the sample," "Assemble pieces as shown," and "Follow the Directions," might be fun, but they block rather than fuel an inspired process. The desire to discover can even be interrupted when children are criticized for not following such commands. A few examples of such open-ended materials include: pieces of paper, boxes, cardboard tubes, recyclable materials, scrap pieces of wood, fabric, aluminum foil, pipe cleaners and craft sticks.
3) Find ways to have fun with nothing! Make funny faces. Cross your eyes. Sing songs and make up your own words or even melodies. Create sound effects, music, and noises. Dance, run in the wind, twirl in circles, or climb. Tell stories that "pop into your head" and giggle.
4) Notice your world. Use a magnifying glass for an up-close look and binoculars or a telescope to see things far away. Smell the flowers, the pine trees, and the rain in the air. Plant something and watch it grow.
5) Investigate the arts with an open agenda. Play with a variety of art supplies and materials. Make whatever you want. Listen to many different types of music. Go to galleries and museums to see things you haven't seen before. Ask many questions.
These are five beginning steps to allowing, and even encouraging, children to use their incredible imaginations. Try some and watch what happens.

text: Ever since the Mumbai terrorist attacks of 26/11, there's been that ever-familiar refrain: how we are under-equipped not just for another war, but also to deter future terror strikes. From the armed forces to Defence Minister A K Anthony, there have been murmurs about our 'lack of preparedness'. The point is: how did we get here, and what's preventing us from getting to where we want to be? With Pranab Mukherjee citing that post-26/11 a "threshold has been crossed", the interim budget for 2009-10 earlier this week saw an increase in defence allocation by 34 per cent to Rs 1.417 trillion — a year after it fell to less than 2 per cent of the GDP for the first time since the 60s. Our Defence Minister said recently that allocation of money isn't the problem. So what is it then? For years now, the procedures for defence procurement in India have bordered on xenophobia — keeping the private sector and foreign vendors at an arm's length, while indigenous capability continues to languish. "The three biggest problems with indigenous defence production in India as it stands today are a closed institutional mechanism, a yawning production-requirement mismatch and the failure of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) to live up to its role as a technology innovator," says Deba Mohanty, Senior Fellow in Security Studies at the Observer Research Foundation. Given the over-ambition and under-achievement of India's defence R&D and prohibitive policies that keep scaring off foreign players, there are inevitable chinks in our armour. Quite predictably, the process of acquisition is long, complex and tedious in itself, with red tape waiting to ambush progress at each stage. From the Acquisition Wing of the Ministry of Defence (MoD) to the DRDO and the armed forces, there is no way for one hand to fathom what the other hand is doing. Each acquisition process has to go through the wringer before it can take wing. The consequent dependence on imports and attached restrictions on technology transfers have spawned a vicious cycle, putting the brakes on technological value-adds back home, further leading to less than 30 per cent of our defence equipment being indigenously manufactured. Revisions in the Defence Procurement Procedure (DPP) have hinted at greater public-private partnership, following the new offset policy of 2006, which mandates at least 30 per cent 'offsets' in all defence deals with foreign companies as an obligatory re-investment in the country's defence sector. Given that India is expected to spend anywhere between $30-45 billion for acquisition of military hardware and software over the next five years, it remains to be seen whether it will be feasible for domestic players to absorb this amount. The predictable fallout: cautious investors and more delays. It might be easy to presume that being one of the largest arms importers in the world, with a long shopping list, India would combine maturity, momentum and incentives to negotiate a few terms of its own to private players salivating at the prospect of filling in the blanks. For example, easing restrictions could be used as a bargaining counter to insist on a 'joint' component, whether it is in the field of technology, manufacturing, development or trials, given our over-dependence on foreign suppliers for upgrades, after-sales service and components. Long waits in upgradation and modernisation, have meant over-extending the life span of vessels and aircraft, further upping the security risk and putting lives at stake. The aircraft carrier Admiral Gorshkov, which was to replace the half century-old INS Viraat, is still floating out of reach with the Russians almost doubling the cost estimates. Gorshkov might not sail in before 2012. The ghost of Bofors seems to have put paid to any plans of acquiring artillery guns. Israel is waiting to become our top defence supplier, dethroning the Russians, but corruption scandals have played spoilsport. The Indian Air Force is still waiting for the government to make up its mind on those multi-role combat fighters. Controversies aside, the response to corruption can't be 'No deals for no scandals'. Why, also, does the Defence Ministry keep relinquishing funds year after year? In the past three years alone, over Rs 13,000 crore remained unspent. But the repeated surrendering of funds might be symptomatic of a larger problem — a mismatch between budget estimates and a pragmatic spending plan, taking existing realities into account. It's difficult to make plans, for example, when 25 years after it was first sanctioned, the light combat aircraft is nowhere on the horizon, and Arjun, the main battle tank, has yet to roll into the army's ranks 35 years after it was first authorised. In 1999, the then Indian Army chief, General V P Malik, vowed to fight the Kargil War with "whatever we have". Ten years on, it's time to focus on what we don't have, and how we're going to fill that gap. Chinks in the armour- Hindustan Times

Property / Grounds
Residents, Activities & Staff
We enjoy pleasant surroundings, delicious dining, transportation as needed for shopping and medical appointments, a great staff, myriad activities, no maintenance worries, and security. Fellowship Square living remains, after 3 years, one of our best life style decisions!
For eight years I was a volunteer substitute and van driver bringing passengers to classes and back home from the Tucson Association for the Blind. Yes, I heard a lot of comments, good and bad, about all types of residence…. adult homes, large and small care homes and other accommodations.
At retirement I moved to the number one recommendation of my passengers, Fellowship Square. Never a regret about living here.
To me it was and still is the Best Value around. Come visit, I believe you will enjoy a similar experience!
Soon I will celebrate my tenth year living at Fellowship Square. It is certainly the most beautiful and best maintained retirement community in Tucson. Management constantly thinks of how to improve their service in every conceivable manner at the most reasonable rate.
Fellowship Square has good food, helpful and friendly staff, swimming pools, outings, transportation, exercises, companionship and security. What's not to like? There are no strangers here, only friends that you haven't met yet!
Fellowship Square is a wonderful place to live. The amenities here are so great. The food is the best in the world. We chose the best place in Tucson to live and being a Christian Care community is so wonderful too.
Fellowship Square is resort style living without the resort style prices. I live in a safe and secure environment that gives me the freedom to be & to do whatever I choose whenever I choose to do it.
The courtyard setting of each villa gives me a sense of peace and tranquility where I can visit with my neighbors, take a leisurely walk, have a swim, practice my putting or just enjoy being out in nature.
I am in my 7th year as a Resident. I have a spacious, comfortable apartment; (why, my bedroom is 20 feet long with a huge Walk-in closet! Largest bedroom I ever had.) I have been treated with kindness, respect, and dignity. And, the food is delicious. Why would I live any place else?

The holiday season is often a popular time to share major family news, such as pregnancies, engagements and new jobs—but what about being genetically predisposed to cancer?
Advances in genetic counseling have saved some would-be cancer patients years of struggle, pain and financial hardship. Discovering a genetic predisposition to certain types of cancers can allow patients to be proactive, potentially saving lives. But learning that you're at risk for hereditary cancer does come with an extra responsibility: Telling your family.
Patients that undergo genetic counseling have an obligation to share with their family that they, too, may be at risk, according to Mary Ahrens, MS, CGC, a genetic counselor at the Cancer Risk Management Program. But how do you tell them?
That choice is deeply personal, Ahrens said. She and the genetic counseling team work with patients to help them understand their genetic test results and figure out how to share those with relatives who could also be at risk. What works for one family may not work for another. Some people send out a mass email, while others have included the information in a Christmas letter. Others tell one relative, who then communicates the message to the wider family. Ahrens said it's important for a patient to understand their family's unique dynamic and share their news accordingly.
"Each family has their own way of communicating and they know the most effective way to 'talk' to their relatives," Ahrens said.
To help share the news, genetic counselors at the Cancer Risk Management Program give patients a "Dear Relative" letter along with a copy of their test results. This helps patients ensure they have all the information necessary to reach out to their family and helps relatives prepare to get tested themselves, if necessary.
No matter how patients choose to share the news, it is important that they do share it — because that awkward conversation could be a life-saving one. By learning about a genetic predisposition to certain cancers early, family members can take early action. For example, women who learn they have a mutation in the BRCA-1 or BRCA-2 genes—which can signal an increased likelihood of developing breast and/or ovarian cancer—can receive regular breast cancer screenings. In rare cases, they may choose to undergo a preventative procedure to remove their breasts if necessary. Women with this genetic mutation can also choose to discuss surgery to remove the ovaries when childbearing is complete. The goal is to reduce or eliminate the risk of cancer now that a patient knows that they are at high risk.
Clinical Nurse Specialist Denise Musser, APRN-CNS, OCN, ANG-BC, works with patients after they've undergone genetic counseling. She ensures that they receive recommended cancer screenings and other preventive measures. For example, an annual colonoscopy can simultaneously check for colon cancer and prevent the development of the disease by identifying and removing pre-cancerous lesions, Musser said.
"Our goal is to identify people who are at a higher risk for cancers and then help them reduce risk, catch their cancer early or prevent it altogether."
So, if you plan to share the news over a holiday meal this season or send out a mass email to distant relatives, just remember Ahrens' advice: It's when or how you tell your family—not if.

The Texas Department of Transportation is not usually in the business of distracting drivers, but that's the hope with Jensen Ackles at the wheel of its latest campaign.
The Richardson-reared actor is the spokesman for "Heads Up, Texas," the organization's effort to educate Texans about the dangers of distracted driving.
"They reached out. I said, 'Absolutely.' There you have it," he said via phone.
His answer is laconic. But one doesn't have to wonder long why TxDOT chose him for the role: Ackles spends a lot of time behind the wheel of a beloved 1967 Chevy Impala as Dean on The CW's long-running hit Supernatural, which returns Oct. 11 for its 14th (!) season.
"We've been going for quite a while," Ackles said and laughed. "I'm very happy I still like telling this story, I still like playing this character."
In Supernatural, brothers Sam (another son of Texas, Jared Padalecki) and Dean Winchester battle the forces of evil by hunting them down and destroying them.
When Ackles isn't on the set in Vancouver, he takes a break from the battle by easing into home. That's even though he's "enjoying the nice weather up here in the Pacific Northwest."
"While I'm working, while I'm filming, I'm back home either every weekend or every other weekend," he says. "It's a pretty well-oiled machine."
That's the hopes for the TxDot campaign, too. Ackles understands that he "was kind of a good fit." After all, he was "born and raised in Texas. My family lives in Texas. I now live back in Texas."
He, his wife and their three children live in Austin, where he also co-owns a brewery. He says he and his brother-in-law started making their own beer in the backyard.
"It was crap," he says. But they enjoyed the process and it kept getting better. So ... brewery, because "at the very least, we'd have some good beer to drink."
In his role in the campaign, he's educating, too. Here are his tips:
- Put it in the glove compartment, put it in the console, put it in your pocket.
- Keep the ringer off.
- Utilize the technology [to disable the phone while you're driving]. It's there for your safety.
And he's holding himself to the rules, too. And has been for a while.
"Of course, I've been guilty of it. I've become more aware of just how distracted you can be," he says. "Back when the show started in 2005, cell phones were around but it was flip phones. They weren't these smart devices that you become incredibly attached to. There was quite a bit of film we did on the show where my character was on the phone. As the smartphones became more popular and that issue became more of an issue, we actually made a conscious effort and I personally made a conscious effort to not do that on the show anymore. I just don't want to promote that kind of thing."
So for now, like his character on Supernatural, he's busy saving lives by promoting the other thing: Distracting Texans from their other distractions, one driver at a time.

By the Left Coast Rebel
We recently wrote about Obama's lower and upper intestinal-turning "Julia" internet Flash cartoon socialist prop characterizing women as nothing more than harried, helpless, hapless, hopeless wards of the Leviathan state.
King Socialist Obama and Chicago Co. thought that Julia's life story of government at her perennial side (from birth through sans-husband motherhood) would somehow be a hit with the key female government-program demographic, but as we have fortunately witnessed with various Obama campaign initiatives recently, it ended up backfiring in a rather spectacular manner.
Julia's Dystopic Obama America is not inevitable.
America, there is hope, meet Emily:
How can we create an Emily America of self-reliance and properity; one where individuals are left alone to pursue their own vision of happiness; an America where dreamers and makers are just simply left alone by government nanny-staters, war mongers, deficit-spending bankrupters, taxpayer-raping robber-barrons, collectivist bean counters, do-gooders and Republicrat-statist grabbing hands?
Writes individual liberty stud Dan Mitchell:
(We) also need a serious discussion of why dependency is a bad thing, which is why I'm glad the Center for Freedom and Prosperity has produced this new "Economics 101″ video.
It's narrated by Emily O'Neill, who contrasts the moocher mentality of Julia with how she wants her life to develop. To give away the message, she wants the kind of fulfillment that only exists when you earn things.
Emily's view could be considered Randian libertarianism, conventional conservatism, or both. That's because there's a common moral belief in both philosophies that government-imposed coercion and redistribution erode the social capital of a people.
Note that Dan Mitchell correctly describes Emily's ethos of self-reliance as one correlated to Randian libertarianism, of which her brilliant, life-changing (for me and countless millions) fictional novels Atlas Shrugged and the Fountainhead epitomize.
Dan Mitchell is most certainly not referring to the anti-individualist "neo-conservative" statism of today's Republican party.
Which America do you want to live in, Emily's or Julia's?
Via Memeorandum.

- Unscrew chair and knock apart gently with a rubber mallet.
- To fix a broken stretch, use quick dry polyurethane glue, using plenty (better to have too much than too little)
- Wipe of excess glue. Leave to set for 10 minutes.
- Sand down the points that slot into the seat of the chair.
- Put the seat back on by bashing gently with a rubber mallet.
- Squeeze glue into the crack in the seat, use a clamp to hold the crack together (make sure to use soft wood blocks in-between clamp and seat so you don't damage).
- Before dry put all screws back in.
- Clean off the glue; be careful not to scratch the chair.
- Once glue is off, sand the chair gently.
Tip: If you'd like to wax the chair for an ultimate repair, you can find the 'wax chair' instructions in this video.

Selective catalysts for carbon dioxide recycling
25 Apr 2018. NUS chemists have discovered key factors determining the selectivity of copper (Cu) catalysts for transforming carbon dioxide (CO2) and water into useful chemicals and fuels.
The electrochemical reduction of CO2 using renewable electricity is a promising technology for controlling CO2 emissions and producing high value-added chemicals. By supplying electrons to a Cu catalyst, carbon dioxide and water molecules which are attached to its surface can be transformed into useful molecules such as methane and ethylene. This is similar to the photosynthesis process in which CO2 and water are converted by plants into sugar.
Increasing the selectivity of CO2 reduction towards targeted products is one of the key challenges that need to be overcome in order to make the process more industrially viable. Previous research work to design selective copper catalysts has extensively focused on nano-structuring and defects engineering of their surfaces. In this work, the research team led by Prof YEO Boon Siang, Jason from the Department of Chemistry, NUS has discovered that the applied potential (electrical voltage) and magnitude of current, which have been largely overlooked, are key factors determining the selectivity of Cu catalysts in CO2 electroreduction reactions. The current produced at a particular electrical voltage is also largely dependent on the roughness of the Cu catalysts. By adjusting the applied voltage and the surface roughness of a Cu catalyst, CO2 and water can be made to favour the production of a specific carbon-based compound during the electrochemical reduction process.
The team's findings can enable the development of more selective catalysts for transforming CO2 into useful chemicals and fuels. For example, by tuning the surface roughness factor of a Cu sample to be 1.4 and the applied voltage to be -1.2 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode (a reference electrode), the selectivity of CO2 reduction to methane can be enhanced significantly to greater than 60% (see figure). This catalyst is among the most selective catalysts in the scientific community for methane formation. The performances of more than 20 previously-reported Cu-based catalysts were also analysed, and were shown to corroborate the team's findings.
Prof Yeo said, "We found that Cu catalysts derived from various precursors, may be similar in terms of chemical composition. However, their catalytic performance could be very different. Explanations such as the presence of steps, edges and defects on the catalysts are typically invoked to explain these phenomena. Our team discovered that the applied potential and mass transport of CO2, which are affected by currents, are also critical parameters affecting the selectivity Cu catalysts, and cannot be ignored."
Figure shows that the selectivity of Cu catalysts (in producing specific carbon-based compounds) is determined by the applied voltage. Cu-10, CuO-1, CuO-10 and CuO-60 represent metallic copper and copper oxides with different surface morphology and roughness.

The history of Boxing Day
Merry Chrimbo! You got a gift for everyone on your list just in the nick of time, and you thought you'd seen the last of those crowded, frantic, dog-eat-dog shoppers, haven't you?
Actually, no. If you're a Canadian, British, or a citizen of any other Commonwealth nation, you may just find yourself lining up in crowded malls and fighting for products again. It's certainly déjà vu to a couple days ago when you were rushing to get a gift for everyone on your list.
Contrary to what its name might lead you to believe, Boxing Day does not represent the sport, competitive nature, and potential fist-violence you may resort to take home the last steeply marked-down 55" LCD TV. Instead, it refers to the box, the container we use to gift goods to each other.
The original tradition, which may date back as early as the 10th century, would incolude the wealthy boxing up goods, food, and wine to deliver it to the less fortunate. This merry tradition may also stem from employers giving boxes to their poorly paid workers who had to work through Christmas Day. In the late 18th century, lords and ladies of manors would box up leftover food, gifts, and sent it home with their servants.
In England, Boxing Day had involved a traditional fox hunting in the past. It may have started as Boxing Day was also seen as time for family to relax and enjoy time together. This lead to attending sporting events as a past time, which includes horse racing and football matches. Fox hunting also became a sport for the wealthy, but has since been banned.
While most offices and government institutions are closed on Boxing Day, shops and malls (not to mention e-commerce sites!) are open to the public and the day has since turned into an every-man-for-themself battle for the best deal.
After Black Friday, that would make this the second national crazy-competitive consumerist tradition to follow shortly after a cultural/religious commemoration of thanks, family, and feast.

My View
Last year, I was very glad when I was reading through the nominees' list of GMAA-16. That was when I saw the Business of the Year (non-Muslim) category, I went like – wow great to add non-Muslim business of the year…(shows how open-minded we are), then I ended the list without coming across a category for Muslim Business of the year which made me sad. Thought we were celebrating our own? Doesn't Islam encourage entrepreneurship? – Had all these to ask.
To let it go, I made up excuses to defend their actions such as : Oh this is their first time and the pressure made them forget to include that category; All the Muslim-owned businesses didn't want to feature in the category; It would be included in the next category….blah blah blah.
There is no doubt this is one of the great initiatives that has happened to our Ummah as it helps motivate and encourage other Muslims to do better not only for themselves but for the benefit of the country at large. I applaud the organizers and the supporting parties and also pray for Allah's blessings upon them and their Families.
Nevertheless, The absence of a category for a Muslim-owned Business of the year again breaks my heart and I seriously can't fathom the reason behind such exclusion. I have sent a message to the organizers asking if there is any reason why and they are yet to reply – would update you on any happenings
As stated by the organizers of the event, GMAA seeks to achieve the following:
- Recognize and reward contribution to national development
- Inspire and motivate younger generation to emulate such contributions for national growth
- Encourage actors in all fields of endeavor to do more in support of advancing national development and the Islamic faith
- Raise national awareness on contributions of persons and corporate entities of the Muslim faith as a standard for emulation, and Promote and deepen national integration, cohesion and support for Muslim causes
I therefore Humbly plead with The Organizers of the Event to consider the notion of including a Category for Muslim-owned Business of the year. If possible, a category each for new startups by Muslims and old Muslim-owned businesses. As this would propel startups to a larger audience, enhance the old businesses and also instil a winning and encouraging mindset in Muslims who want to venture into entrepreneurship.

Now here's a fine thing: John has elaborated on a John Ferrentino idea and has produced a nifty device which goes around your neck and holds a hand-held microphone. The part which holds the mic is made of metal covered with rubber tubing, and there is an adjustable lanyard which allows you to move the mic so it is the proper distance from your mouth. If you have ever been in the situation where the only microphone available was a hand-held and you really needed a lavaliere, then this thing is a lifesaver. It will take up no space at all in your case, and will probably last you forever.
John also makes a version of this called "The Bi-Cracky" which is slightly larger than the "Gim-Crack" and is designed to hold a wireless hand-held mic. Write him for details.

Back in December I was fortunate enough to be chosen by the editors to provide BusinessWeek magazine a value stock idea for their annual investment guide issue. My selection, beer giant Anheuser-Busch InBev, was controversial at the time due to the just-completed buyout of A-B by Belgium's InBev, but despite how disappointed many were with the deal (especially in St. Louis where I resided for ten years) the stock of the combined company was too cheap for me to ignore.
Nearly nine months later I figured I would publish an update to that investment idea given that many people read the BusinessWeek issue and some surely wound up purchasing the stock. Shares of Anheuser-Busch InBev (AHBIF) have more than doubled in value (+119%) since the issue hit newsstands, soaring from $21 per share to a current $46 quote.
The reasons for such a large move have turned out to be the very same arguments I made when I made the pick; the stock was deeply oversold after millions of new shares were sold to finance the A-B deal, and profit margins have increased smartly thanks to the synergies captured from the merger.
The company recently reported financial results for the first half of 2009. While revenue rose only 3% (the beer market is fairly mature in most parts of the world), normalized EBITDA rose 22% thanks to margin expansion. In fact, gross margin rose from 50% to nearly 53%, and EBITDA margins rose from under 30% to over 36%. Simply put, thus far the company has succeeded in hitting its post-merger operating goals.
The doubling of the share price has increased the equity market value of A-B InBev to $73 billion. Combined with $53 billion in net debt (much of which was borrowed to buy A-B and will be repaid in coming years with free cash flow), the stock's enterprise value sits at $126 billion, or 9.8 times current run-rate cash flow. My valuation model back in December pegged a fair value price for the company at 10 times cash flow, so the stock now appears close to fair value of ~$47 per share.
As a result, Anheuser-Busch InBev stock is no longer dirt cheap. For investors who own large positions, it may be wise to consider paring it back. I have not sold it completely for my clients because there remains decent upside over the long term as the firm's massive debt load is repaid. Every dollar of debt that is repaid (assuming constant operating cash flow) will translate into more value for equity holders.
Although the easy money has already been made, I think the stock will do fairly well longer term as the company de-levers its balance sheet and further integrates the two beer giants into one company. Translation: the stock is no longer a screaming buy, but rather a very solid hold.
Full Disclosure: Clients of Peridot Capital were long shares of AHBIF at the time of writing, but positions may change at any time

The trouble with starting a new business is that when it comes to putting yourself on Twitter, Facebook etc. you are starting from scratch. Yes you can direct people to your new profiles via personal accounts but, essentially, you are brand new.
When I created Jet Social I thought I'd be able to make do with my personal social profiles and those of my blogs to tell people about our services. It worked for a while and I managed to get a fair bit of work from that. However, those accounts don't really show off what I can do as a social media manager.
Showing off
I managed to grow my personal account very quickly, mainly because I'm well known for my Twitter commentary during Formula One races. But it now sits quite happily at 1500 followers and I don't feel the need to actively grow it.
As for Love Norfolk, the account more or less takes care of itself. I get multiple followers a day for very little effort. Of course, that's a combination of good content and an intriguing bio but I'm not actively promoting it.
So, I've decided to get Jet Social on to Twitter and Google+ (more about why I think this is a valuable networking tool for businesses at a later date.)
When you start out building your business don't look like you are trying to hard. Don't pester people to follow back or send out endless tweets trying to get new followers to tell their friends. Just concentrate on content and the followers will come.
Also, make sure you follow interesting people who you can start to engage with in a normal way. No one is going to be interested in your daily deal/corporate news/training sessions unless they see a real person behind the account.
