Due to the socio-economic changes going on in Korea society(see ecnomy under Japanese rule,more and more Koreans were coming to Japan for better lives. Japanese government restricted Japanese companies to recruit Koreans to work in Japan by law because she was afraid Japanese unemployment rate would increase. The Korean newspaper, Dong A libo on Sept 9th in 1921 criticised this law severely , saying that it is descrimination and insulting. In response, Japan government abolished the law.But the government still regulated koreans to come to Japan, in 1924, may 5th, 50000 Koreans protested at the Pusan Port againt it.
WWⅡ was coming near.
In 1938 the national mobilization act was inacted.link
April 1939
The law took effect for the Japanese,
October 1939
The law took effect for Taiwanese.
In 1944 the law took effect for Koreans.
Those Koreans were never hand-cuffed nor kidnapped to the laboring sites as some koreans imagine.When Japanese young men had been drafted to the battle fields, the work force was desparately in need. Some Koreans had to work hard at such a place as coal mine. But those who worked under hard condtions were paid more than average Japanese workers.
It is estimated that there was 2100000 Koreans at the end of the war in Japan. 8 to 10% were brought to Japan under the law.
After the war, all of them could go home at their free will, but 410000 Koreans remained in Japan in1950 .
It would be reasonable to suppose that majority of Koreans who came against their will under the law went home because those who came after 1944 had no life bases in Japan, could not speak Japanese well and left their family behind in Korea..
In conclusion, Koreans who remained in Japan were those who came to Japan volountarily.
This is generally in accordance with what the first generation of Korean Residents in Japan says about it.
(BTW the problem is that Japanese and Korean governments did not give them chances to choose Japanese citizenship,I am inclined to think J and K governments should have [2])

Two Cents Said:

>I also read that many of those women stayed in Japan after the war which explains the Korean population in Japan today.
No, the mobilized people were young men or women (some only girls), and nearly all of them returned to their families in Korea, since the longest any of them could have been in Japan was 6 years, not really long enough to be formly rooted. Plus, free transportation was offered by the Japanese government to all Koreans returning to their country under GHQ orders.
The tight restrictions on Korean immigration to Japan was not lifted until September 1939, when companies were given the freedom to recruit Korean laborers (自由募集). Then, conspription for military laborers (軍徴用) started in 1941, public procurance for businesses (官斡旋) in 1942, and finally conscription for businesses (徴用) in September 1944. Refusal of conscription was the only one punishable by law. Approximately 1 million Koreans were in Japan when the war began. At the end, there were 2 million. Of the 1 million that came to Japan during the war, 700,000 came voluntarily seeking for jobs. 300,000 came by procurement or conscription. 75%, or 1.5 million, returned to Korea after Japan's defeat.
Before 1939, the Japanese government restricted Korean immigrration because it would cause an unemployment issue from the resulting influx of cheap labor. The Koreans actually flocked to Japan, and when the restriction was temporarily abolished in 1922, Koreans came in floods. The government quickly reinstated the restrictions, and the Koreans responded by holding a 50,000-people rally at the port of Busan on May 17, 1924, but the government stayed firm on its policy. However, Koreans still entered illegally into Japan, and records show that in some years, nearly 10,000 were captured and deported. I think if you looked at the present California-Mexico border situation, you would get an idea of how it was.
As for the sufferings, I'm sure they weren't fully pleased about the annexation. I'm thinking that it must have been like how China is now. China as a country is certainly prospering, but the wealth is not going around evenly, and in times of turmoil, some win, some lose. I'm sure the winners are keeping their mouths shut now lest they be called collaborators, and the losers the one loudly attacking Japan.
Since Koreans did not have the right to freely move to Japan, you could say that the Koreans did not have equal rights. Also, until 1940 when the law for creating family names (創氏改名) came into effect, Koreans did not have the right to take on Japanese-style names. After the annexation, Koreans began using Japanese names, and so to prevent the confusion, a law was passed in 1911 that strictly forbade Koreans from using or taking on Japanese names.
Koreans in Korea did not have the right to vote in Japan, but neither did the Japanese living in Korea. Koreans legally living in Japan had voting rights, and two even made it into Congress. I have seen past records of local elections, and there were plenty of Korean candidates on them.There was racial discrimination, however. The army took Koreans and had one lieutenant general and plenty of officers who had graduated from the military academy, but I hear the Navy refused to have Korean officers.
two cents at occidentalism
For youor reference,
Compare with Korean mandatory military service.
. linklink
South Korea's 680,000-member military has been marred by a long history of human rights abuses of rank-and-files. Song's son surely fell victim to the system.
Military records show that 134 South Korean soldiers took their own lives last year in the face of harsh discipline such as beating and verbal abuse. The military again came under public fire earlier this year when an Army captain was found to have had 192 trainees eat human feces as punishment for not flushing toilets.
According to ministry figures, the number of military deaths has gradually dwindled over the past few years, from 164 in 2001, 158 in 2002 and 150 in 2003 to 134 in 2004. Of these, 69 people took their own lives in 2001, 79 in 2002, 69 in 2003 and 66 in 2004.
Cases of physical violence and sexual harassment in military barracks also fell to 2,277 last year, from 2,507 in 2003 and 2,483 in 2002, the data showed.
Analysts project a different picture, however. "The statistics may be a welcome sign, but human rights abuses in the military is still a serious problem,"said Lee Gye-su, a law professor at Kunkuk University in Seoul
Several reservists interviewed weeks after completing their military service agree that various forms of physical and other types of abuse still exist in military camps. "I was slapped and got kicked in the shin by my superiors many times whenever I got scratches on my truck. But I felt I was lucky, because I heard from my friends they were struck by steel pipes,"said a 24-year-old former sergeant who served as a truck driver in a frontline unit.Yonhap, March 29, 2005
I had a friend who served together mandatory military service. He was no less disgruntled than I for the treatment of soldiers by the Korean government. (We were paid 10 dollars per month for full time service. And many Korean soldiers still live in a single room which accomdate 10 to 20 people. Shizophreniac environment I dare say.)Urbanara
The substandard living conditions that ROK enlisted soldiers must endure for their 2-year stint (30 soldiers share a 10 pyong room sleeping "pigs-in-the-blanket" style (which is not only unsanitary and a public health problem contributing to everything from athlete's foot to tuberculosis, I believe the deprivation of personal space and the absence of individual bunks (or racks) lends itself towards rapes and encouraging homosexual behavior);HKIM in Asisan pages
The total number of Koreans in Japan is 610000 but those moblized during the war as workers are only 245.木村幽閉記
Asakawa,an ethnic Korean in Japan argues in p170在日論の嘘that,
According to Asahi newspaper,
1)Korea government decided that she gave Koreans residents in Japan Korean citizenships
on October 10 in 1951
2)Japan and Korea agreed that Korean residents are deprived of their Japanese citizenship when the peace treaty took effective.
3)There are no movements againt it among Korean residents in Japan.
4)On the contrary,there is an evidence that show that there was a strong movement among Koreans against GHQ's decision to give Korean residents temporary Japanese citizenships.
And hence it is not true that Japanese goverment unilaterally deprived Korean residents in Japan of Japanese citizenship.

wow this is old article but…
it is true that many zainichi koreans are involved in illegal activities and groups… and many of them are currently leaders of some smaller groups.
I don't think the main reason is because of their poor living conditions. I think its the role models like Rikidozan, Mas Oyama, etc who were involved with Yakuza etc.
Roppongi is basically made into what it is today by the Yakuza which Rikidozan was involved in. I think that's why there are so many zainichi in these groups.
I found a movie called 血と骨 which is basically about
This amazingly gritty saga of the formidable rise and demise of Kin Shunpei, a Korean immigrant to Osaka, Japan in the 1920's depicts not only the struggles and victories of the early Korean immigrant communities within Japan but also the almost unwitting emergence of a highly entrenched (Korean-immigrant-based) Yakuza presence which (it is said) exists to this day.
oh plus… there is prob a lot more Koreans in Japan excluding the ones who were identified because many came in illegally, or just don't want to think that they are koreans I guess. At least half koreans…Kojimob at occidentalism
The governer of Cheju, however, privately told American intelligence that 60,000 had died, and that as many as 40,000 had fled to Japan ; officially 39,285 homes had been domolished,but the governer hought "most of the houses on the hills" were gone : of 400 villages , only 170 remained. In other words, one in ecery five or six islanders had perished and more than half villages been destroyed.page223 Korea's place in the sun

I had not heard all that much of Siem Reap, apart from the fact that it is the city that serves Angkor Wat. Yet I discovered a surprisingly charming riverfront town, full of markets, cafes and healthy restaurants, and we decided to linger around even after being done with our Angkor 3-day tickets. Yes, it is largely westernized and tourist oriented, but what are two frazzled, sleep-deprived, sunburnt people to do in such case? Go play mini putt, is what!

ASKE believes that life/soft skills are integral parts of every training design and incorporate such skills and knowledge to all interventions.
ASKE team has experience in empowering different communities (youth, women and community at large) through carefully and strategically developed training and coaching programmes focusing on socio-economical, emotional (EQ) and spiritual (SQ) empowerment. The core of the empowerment is lighting the fire of change inside the individual which leads to personal transformation and eventually a larger group or a community (social transformation) to find out solutions for their problems by themselves. Community empowerment training or programmes are designed and delivered based on level of understanding of participants and contextual requirements.
ASKE team has implemented a unique and exceptional process of low educated youth empowerment: THE COUNSELLING CYCLE APPROACH. The counselling cycle approach is to develop the social competencies and employability of the youth which contributes to the development of a socially responsible citizen. This is carried out step by step, the youth being gradually prepared and guided throughout, and offered interactions with people from different communities and social standings through a series of modules that address life skills in indirect manner, joint initiatives such as community development work, sports events, cultural activities, and youth camps (work camps and theatre camps). It harmonizes a set of life skills modules with occupational modules which include career counselling and guidance, group activities and exchange programmes to address social issues and peaceful coexistence, as well as individual counselling and psychosocial support.
ASKE takes up the challenge of building the Knowledge, Skills and Attitude of community based organisations and public sector organisations, empowering the team in subject matter and process development to serve the community better and as a result achieve personal and organisational goals. Interventions in Community Based Organisations range from project cycle management, outcome monitoring up to evaluation; in public administrative organisations the range include: service orientation, conflict sensitivity, transparency and accountability. The main focus is to create an enabling environment that will cradle the objective of the people serving and being served. The ASKE team has its expertise gathered from experience of working with CBOs, Divisional and District Secretariats for over 6 years.
The core team of ASKE has been pioneers of ToT in training methodology in the Vocational Training Sector, since 1999. Bernard Baruch states that "the ability to express an idea is nearly as important as the idea itself". ASKE takes up the challenge of building 'The Trainer' that is capable of planning, delivering (presenting) and monitoring learning on any subject. Being a trainer can be a highly rewarding and satisfying occupation. As a trainer, you have the opportunity to help others improve their performance and become more successful in their careers. As a trainer, you have the opportunity to learn and grow in new areas of knowledge, skills and attitudes. At the same time, becoming a trainer implies that you have reached a level of maturity, confidence, and self-discipline that allows you to work in a professional environment.
The core team members of ASKE have a long spell of experience in helping others in presentation skills. This is one subject of the Training of Trainers (ToT) that can be focused for individual or a group to improve their presentations. ASKE is able to help in personal and material presentation on any subject. Achieving excellence in inter-personal communication is a complex process made up of several basic skills. A message will be believed if the verbal, vocal, and visual elements of the communication are consistent. John Molloy stated that; "You never get a second chance to make a good first impression!"
'Instructional supervision is a service to trainers, both as individuals and in groups. To put it simply, instructional supervision is a means of offering to trainers, specialised help in improving training. Instructional supervision is NOT evaluation!' Where do excellent trainers come from? Are they born with the potential for excellence? Is the excellence developed over time and under certain conditions? In the early 1900's, the American education philosopher John Dewy emphasized that teacher learning and growth do not magically and instantly happen. Instead, they depend on appropriate interaction between the trainer and fellow colleagues. In the mind of John Dewy, we are all responsible for supervision.
ASKE believes that everyone manages a project at some time. A student manages a project as part of class requirement, an instructor manages a field trip with students, and a construction engineer manages the construction of a new building. A development project manager, implements and managers a specific intervention over a period of time. All of these people apply the same principles 'the principles of project management'. Over the past 50 years, the field of project management has grown from an art to a science. ASKE approaches the learning of project management by sharing and discussing practical assignments of the project management life cycle and writing of a project proposal, within the main parameters of time cost and quality. The team at AKSE has over 9 years' experience and developed unique strategies to empower the beneficiaries and organisations in development projects.
The core team of ASKE has a proven record of implementing highly successful projects, such as Local Economic Development and Development and Peace Sri Lanka of Swisscontact Sri Lanka, that were continuously monitored and assessed throughout the project duration using a multitude of M&E tools (including RBM&E) to ensure achievement of the expected project objectives in the impact level. The attribution of these project activities to the positive changes in the target groups is well documented and heartily felicitated by the beneficiaries. The training includes the 'Ten Steps to Designing, Building, and Sustaining an RBM&E System' along with real life anecdotes and time tested tools for practical implementation of developmental interventions in environments riddled with constraints, conflict, and complexity
In the past 9 years, the core team of ASKE has rigorously tested almost all forms of evaluation techniques that are in practice in the world today. They are qualified and experienced practitioners to carry out needs assessments in almost any discipline, that sets the foundation to all developmental interventions' and all the way up to outcome or impact assessments. Well versed in different evaluation methodologies, the ASKE team is able to identify the most suitable research methodology to a given intervention and locality and scientifically structured assessment surveys, Focus Group Discussions, and one-on-one interviews. ASKE conforms to OECD-DAC evaluation criteria and also covers good practices, systemic intervention and attribution to impact.


text: Caracas - Venezuelans have held a new wave of demonstrations as both supporters of the government and opposition staged major rallies in a country that has been roiled by violence in recent days. Pro-government "Chavista women" held a march "against fascism" on Saturday in Caracas, while the opposition staged a rally for "peace". At a pro-government rally in the capital, where an Al Jazeera correspondent estimated thousands in attendance, Caridad Blanco, a retired person, told Al Jazeera: "The opposition is causing the violence. I am afraid to go to Chacao [a pro-opposition area]. We are rallying here for peace and our homeland." "My life had improved greatly. In 1999, there were 300,000 pensioners. Now there are three million. "My mother worked as an ironing lady. She had no pension before but now she does. This is an example of what our government has done," she added. Daisy Perez, a cleaning lady and government supporter, told Al Jazeera: "We have created more employment [during the socialist period], schools and universities have been built." 'Social crisis' An hour into the opposition rally, thousands of demonstrators had gathered, our correspondent estimated, but thousands more were seen heading towards the rally on foot and via the subway. "At some point, the government will have to sit down and have proper discussions with the opposition," Alexis Perez, a student from Simon Bolivar University at the opposition rally, told Al Jazeera. "We are facing a social crisis." Venezuela's Maduro calls for dialogue Al Jazeera's Chris Arsenault, reporting from the capital, said: "Today represents a classic show of force by both camps. "They are trying to prove they have public support in what has become a drawn-out battle. "I don't imagine there will be serious violence today in Caracas because the rallies are happening in opposite zones of the city." Henrique Capriles, governor of Miranda state and a main opposition leader, says that planned events are intended as peaceful protests to show public discontent over high crime, food shortages and other problems facing Venezuela. Capriles has called on marchers to focus on demanding that authorities disarm pro-government "collectives" blamed for attacking demonstrators. At least eight people have died and more than 100 have been injured in violence connected to the protests that initially began peacefully. President Nicolas Maduro's government warned it could cut off gas supplies to restless areas. Protests began on February 2 in the western city of San Cristobal led by students angry over the soaring crime rate. Social media campaigns helped unrest spread to Caracas and other major cities, intensifying over the past two week. Maduro, who denies any links to the armed groups, says the protests are part of a "coup d'etat in development" instigated by Washington and conservative ex-Colombian president Alvaro Uribe. Call for dialogue US President Barack Obama earlier urged the Venezuelan government to address the "legitimate grievances" of protesters; remarks which Maduro said were interference in Venezuela's internal affairs. Maduro challenged Obama on Friday to meet him for talks. "I call a dialogue with you, President Obama... between the patriotic and revolutionary Venezuela and the United States and its government," he said. "Accept the challenge and we will start a high-level dialogue and put the truth on the table," Maduro told a news conference with foreign reporters. Caracas and Washington have not exchanged ambassadors since their respective envoys were withdrawn in 2010. Venezuela has expelled eight US diplomats over the past year, including three on February 16. Oil-rich Venezuela's main customer for its key export is the US, yet strained relations between the countries have worsened under Maduro. Venezuela has the world's largest proven oil reserves, but under Maduro and his predecessor, the late Hugo Chavez, the economy has faltered, violent crime has increased and inflation is some of the highest in the region. Supporters of the elected government say their situation has improved because of subsidised food programmes, new universities, and health centres built by the state in long-neglected poor areas.

Fashion Photographer Henrik Adamsen in London Town!
by Samantha Kate Jourdan
Our dear friend and photographer in crime Henrik is visiting his guys at FACTORY311 in London Town this week!
Photographer Henrik Adamsen has come over from Copenhagen to share his extensive portfolio of provocative fashion photography and beauty imagery with England's finest. We sent our beloved and shiny danish talent into and all over the city, causing havoc wherever he went and whoever he spoke with…
Henrik once lived over here in East London when he began his photographic career, and although familiar with parts of the neighborhood, we still couldn't resist taking him for a classic Brick Lane curry and to the likes of Broadway Market. Even on his travels, true to his profession, he could not put down his camera as he constantly snapped away on the hipstamatic or took delight in delving through our own photographs!
We expect that with London's eyes open to the style and personality of Henrik Adamsen that there will be even bigger things ahead in the near future, and of course we hope this means he can come back to see us again soon.
Henrik couldn't make a visit without shooting a classic family photo shoot of his surrogates at the factory, and as you can see, in-keeping with his cheeky characteristics, he also couldn't resist sneaking into the frame….
Everyone Say, "WE LOVE YOU HENRIK!"

It wasn't just the fact that her rich, powerful vocals were remarkably similar to Patsy Cline's -- it was the fact that Rimes was only 13 years old. Like Tanya Tucker and Brenda Lee before her, she had a hit with her debut single and was barely a teenager at the time. It was quite an auspicious way to begin a career.

DENVER—Smashburger is trying to get more diners to notice that it offers beer by starting to list pairings for its sandwiches.
Denver-based Smashburger teamed with Fort Collins, Colo.-based New Belgium Brewing Co. to choose which New Belgium beers to pair with items on its Colorado menus. As of Friday, the pairings are on menus at its downtown Denver store and its Fort Collins store. The pairings will be rolled out in Denver-area stores in coming weeks.
Smashburger founder Tom Ryan envisions choosing local brewers to work on pairings in other states. Smashburger plans to use Chicago-based Goose Island for pairings in the Windy City.
Ryan sees beer as a tiebreaker for diners choosing among burger chains. He estimates beer generates 3 to 5 percent of revenues at privately held Smashburger.

Nobody loves making predictions more than Matt and me. Nobody. (See this video for more.)
So, with a week to go before national signing day, we're going to stick our necks out and tell you where we think the top three uncommitted prospects in the area will sign.
AVERY YOUNG, OT, Palm Beach Gardens
Everyone wants to know which school Young will pick on signing day. We do, too. Over the past year or so, we've talked with Avery, his dad, and his coach, Chris Davis. A lot. At no point in that process have we felt one way or another about a school — except there has been an on-going theme about one. The Young family talks a lot about Georgia being home. Maybe that will be the only tea leaf we need.
(For the full rundown on Palm Beach County and Treasure Coast recruiting, check out our Big Board.)
Young has visited Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia and Miami. He's repeatedly listed Auburn, Florida and Georgia as his final three. Then, Young took an official visit to Miami this past weekend. We expect more than three hats on the table when Young announces his decision on ESPN (and in the Gardens auditorium) at 2 p.m. on signing day.
Jeff's pick: That lingering feeling in my gut is unavoidable at this point. I think Young picks Georgia. When things started getting serious with Young, it seemed like Oklahoma had a good shot with him. Nick Saban started calling Young regularly, and any time 'Bama comes after a kid, it's no small deal. But everything keeps coming back to Georgia and the special connection Young has to the school. His dad mentioned that a week or so ago.
Matt's pick: Auburn, Florida and Georgia are the clear leaders. In a long chat on Tuesday, Young said he thinks he knows where he's going … then he doesn't know. He likes all three. All three are selling him hard. He has close family a game-day drive from all three. He says he feels equally at home on all three campuses, and equally comfortable with all three coaching staffs. I'll say he chooses Auburn, though I would not be surprised if I'm wrong. The only shock would be him choosing Miami (or Alabama, which is also pushing hard). I think it's one of the top three.
TRAVARES COPELAND, ATH, Treasure Coast
If Copeland's tweets are any indication, it's been a hard process for the uber-athletic senior. He's openly asked his friends on Facebook and Twitter which school he should pick out of his final three of FIU, Rutgers and West Virginia. All three want him to play receiver, though he's also going to get some time in Wildcat formations. He played quarterback for most of his high school career. He wants to play early and often, regardless of position.
Copeland took official visits to each of his final three schools. Rutgers was first back on Dec. 2, followed by WVU a week later. FIU got Copeland down on its campus two weekends ago. His decision may be the hardest one to predict of these three.
Jeff's pick: He was impressed by West Virginia's ridiculous Orange Bowl performance, and rightfully so. The Mountaineers won a BCS bowl and scored 70 points in the process. Rutgers and FIU didn't quite come close to that. When a kid has a chance to play in an offense like that for a school that stays in the national picture despite its conference affiliation, it's hard to ignore. I'll say Copeland picks West Virginia.
Matt's pick: Copeland really seems at a loss. It seems either the stay-home option (FIU) or the better overall program (WVU) would be best for him. (Thursday morning update: Yeah, I changed my pick. I can do that.) Copeland would play the most at Rutgers or FIU, and FIU sees a little T.Y. Hilton in him. Plus, it's warmer in Miami. FIU is my pick.
JAIME WILSON, WR, Glades Central
Wilson, Glades Central's high-IQ, good route-running, strong-hands receiver, will be picking from three schools on signing day: Memphis, Western Michigan and Marshall. Now, the natural reaction when Marshall and Glades Central work together is that the kid will end up there. The Thundering Herd picked up two signees last year from Central, Davonte Allen and Robert Way. There are six local kids on Marshall's roster, and of course, the school's recruiting coordinator is Glades Central legend JaJuan Seider.
Though Wilson had been hoping that Miami and other bigger-name programs would come calling — and his talent certainly merits that hope — it appears as though the 6-foot, 180-pounder will be choosing from his current options. He takes an official visit to Western Michigan this weekend, and hasn't been to Memphis or Marshall. He said Western Michigan was leading back in December.
Jeff's pick: Nothing's really changed since December, and the MAC will be an awesome spot for Wilson, who can be a star at that level. He has all the tools of a very good college receiver. It's been a surprise that more schools haven't gotten involved with him, but whoever gets him will be lucky. I say it's Western Michigan.
Matt's pick: While Marshall seems to make sense for pretty much any Glades Central kid, Western Michigan is the only official visit Wilson plans to take. He said the Broncos were leading, so we'll take him at his word. He should do well in their spread offense.
There are other big-name players who remain uncommitted, namely Lake Worth quarterback Evan Moore, Seminole Ridge running back Gary Holmes and Atlantic receiver Chad Ward, but their statuses are not as clear as the three above. Holmes recently lost both of his Division I-A offers (Western Michigan and Middle Tennessee), while Ward's commitment to FAU wasn't accepted and his Middle Tennessee offer was pulled. Moore is still waiting for his first Division I-A offer. Those three will be players to watch in the coming weeks. And remember, they don't have to sign on signing day. The spring signing period lasts through April 1.

Advanced Coaching: Solutions Focus Master Class
22 & 23 June 2020 – Auckland
14 & 15 October – Auckland
This is an advanced coaching skills programme. Intending participants will already have attended a Growth Coaching International programme, either the Coaching Accreditation Programme (Phases 1-3) or Introduction to Leadership Coaching (2-day).
Solutions Focus is an exciting and complete approach to change. From origins twenty years ago, it is now being used by major corporations, top business schools and many coaches and consultants as the methodology of choice where efficient, respectful and lasting change is wanted.
This two-day workshop is a great way to build your existing coaching knowledge and refine your coaching skills by integrating Solutions Focused methods – more intentionally – into your coaching.
In particular this workshop will delve more deeply into the Solutions Focus theory and show how it integrates with the GROWTH model and the core coaching skills in the GCI approach enabling you to become more fluid, confident and responsive as a coach.
In addition, the Solution Focus approach will help you to work with change, emergence and the unexpected more confidently and more 'in the moment' with more focus on your client and less worrying about what you as a coach will do next. You will also build a greater awareness of the impact of words and language in your work – and use them even more skilfully.
Offered as a two-day workshop, this program will include sessions such as:
- Solutions Focused welcome – using the tools to set up the day
- What we already know – the GROWTH framework as a coaching foundation
- The Albert Model – problem focus vs solutions focus
- Problem to Platform – engaging and contracting
- Future Perfect – engaging creativity to define direction
- Scaling – an unreasonably effective tool for building progress
- Know-how – deploying the know-how of the performer, coach and others
- Affirming what's working – bringing strengths to the fore
- Devising small actions to quickly build progress
- Counters – build on what's better
- Coaching practice sessions – practice using tools separately and together
Cost: $795 + GST (includes The Solutions Focus, Making Coaching and Change Simple by Paul Z Jackson & Mark McKergow)

With over 100 million worldwide book sales and the imminent release of its feature film, chances are you've heard about EL James's trilogy, Fifty Shades of Grey. If you haven't, I do recommend that you read the book or see the film, and not necessarily because of its quality, but because it so happens to be a moral minefield that will leave you thinking for days. I am eagerly awaiting the release of the film this Thursday, but couldn't help but feel overwhelmed and full of mixed emotions after finishing the book.
I must admit, I was completely under the wrong impression about what Fifty Shades was about before I read it. I thought that the couple just engaged in really kinky sex. It turns out that there is a lot more to the story than this. Ever heard of BDSM? Let me enlighten you.
BDSM stands for bondage/discipline/sadism/masochism. It is a variety of sexual practices that involve roleplaying, restraint, dominance, submission and more. Bondage is tying, binding or restraining your partner with rope, tape, cuffs or more for erotic pleasure. Discipline is pretty self-explanatory, although in the BDSM context it is used for the Dominant to demonstrate their control of the Submissive (also for sexual pleasure). A sadist is somebody who derives sexual gratification from physically hurting their partner, whereas a masochist is somebody who enjoys being on the receiving end of that pain.
So how accurately does Fifty Shades depict a BDSM relationship? Heartthrob billionaire, Christian Grey, sweeps college graduate, Anastasia Steele, off her feet (excuse the clichés) before revealing that he is, in fact a sadist. Christian deems himself incapable of love and pleads that Ana engage in a submissive/dominant relationship with him, where he controls almost every aspect of her life (including her diet, exercise routine, sexual activity, birth control and even masturbation habits).
This is where Fifty Shades evoked most of its criticism. Not only are critics claiming that Christian pressured Ana into this relationship (note that she was a virgin before they met), but Christian aspires to control the majority of Ana's lifestyle, which supposedly is not the case in most Dom/Sub relationships. In most Dom/Sub relationships, this sort of roleplaying occurs only in the bedroom. His controlling tendencies have actually been labeled by critics as abusive, and in some way I agree. He stalks her, is possessive of her, manipulates her, dismisses some of her feelings and some of the sex is borderline rape (c'mon Christian, sometimes she'd just prefer to talk!). BUT it was obvious that Christian cared deeply about Ana, he made it clear to her that her consent was vital and through the use of "safe words", he would stop at any time. Ana was admittedly sexually aroused by some of what occurred in the "Red Room of Pain" but deep down struggled to understand why Christian wanted to hurt her.
Whilst I found that Ana was a relatable character, I struggled to come to terms with her willing submission. I do not judge those that wish to engage in BDSM, each to their own, but I think it was made very clear that Ana only participated for Christian's enjoyment, despite her own apprehension. I think this is what made Fifty Shades so conflicting to read. Ana's agreement to engage in a submissive relationship to please a man in some way reflects on how a lot of women's sexual pleasure comes second to men's pleasure these days.
It's a moral minefield.
There's even a campaign called 50 Dollars Not Fifty Shades that encourages people to donate money to domestic violence shelters or agencies instead of seeing the movie or buying the book. You can check out their Facebook page here.
The film, Fifty Shades of Grey is out this Thursday and its director, Sam Taylor-Johnson has recently confirmed that the book's two sequels, Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed will also make it to the big screen.

With playoff berth secure, Yanks set sights on Sox
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Derek Jeter got enough extra free time last fall to realize he hated it.
With the New York Yankees' return to the top of the AL standings after one unfamiliar year in the middle, their captain is grateful to know he'll be busy into October yet again.
Jeter had never missed the playoffs until last fall, when New York's 13-year streak of postseason appearances ended in an expensive flop. A third-place finish was no way to close the final season at old Yankee Stadium, and Jeter is grateful the new stadium will host playoff baseball in its debut year.
"It's almost like you're a kid and your parents don't let you go outside to play," Jeter said. "You watch everybody outside the window because you're in trouble. That's what it felt like. Now we're off punishment, and you can go back out there."
New York became the first major league team this year to clinch a playoff appearance Tuesday night, yet the Yankees didn't exactly celebrate their 14th postseason trip in 15 years. The Texas Rangers ensured the Yankees' postseason appearance with a loss at Oakland, and New York followed about 55 minutes later with a 6-5 win over Los Angeles, blowing a five-run lead before rallying in the ninth.
"Let's keep going," manager Joe Girardi said.
"There's still a lot of baseball to be played. We have 10 games left (nine after Wednesday's 3-2 win), and we know what we want to do. There's obviously excitement about being in the playoffs. It's your first goal, but there's other goals."
New York stayed home last fall in Girardi's debut campaign, surpassed by the Red Sox and the surprising AL champion Tampa Bay Rays. Even after a typically profilic offseason spending spree brought CC Sabathia, A.J. Burnett and Mark Teixeira to the Bronx, the Yankees' prospects for a playoff return weren't exactly rosy this May when they sat 6½ games out of first place at 15-17.
Yet they took over the AL East lead more than two months ago, and haven't let up.
"That's the expectation here every year, and that's obviously very pleasing," said Girardi, the former Yankees catcher. "We're going to be playing in October, but there are still some things we want to accomplish before the season ends."
The Yankees won 17 playoff series and four World Series titles in that 13-year span after 1994, but Jeter and his teammates are well aware of the club's recent failures to do more. New York hasn't won a championship since 2000 or even a playoff series since the 2004 division series, losing four straight series while archrival Boston won two titles.
With a weekend home series looming against the Red Sox, New York's magic number was five (pending Wednesday night's Boston game) for clinching the AL East. While the Yankees didn't celebrate their playoff berth, a few crates of bubbly are likely to be opened if the division title is secured.
"Winning the division would definitely make us a little bit happier, but unfortunately that doesn't seal the deal for us until we win the World Series," Johnny Damon said. "Our expectations are high, and we don't want to get too overly excited until we win the World Series."
New York also is in position to get a few extra advantages as it tries to win its 27th championship.
The Yankees have a 5½-game lead on the Angels for homefield advantage throughout the postseason. They also would get the chance to have an extra day of rest between the first two games of their division series, likely to be against the Detroit Tigers, a subpar road team with the AL's fifth-best record.
New York's lineup has been consistently good in recent weeks, but Teixeira learned the perils of even a temporary slump last year with the Angels. Los Angeles led the majors with 100 victories before a first-round loss to Boston.
"In the playoffs, you can't say, Oh, we had a bad week,'" the first baseman said. "Because if you do, you're out. We need to figure out ways to win. It's too quick. We've got to get up real early."
While the Yankees' celebration at Angel Stadium was confined to a couple of extra handshakes, the milestone meant something a bit more to Alex Rodriguez. The slugger homered in each of the first two games against the Angels, and his ninth-inning sacrifice fly drove in the go-ahead run Tuesday night.
"Just shaking hands with the guys and giving a few hugs, it takes me back to where I was in February or March, in Colorado and Tampa," said Rodriguez, who spent those months rehabbing from hip surgery. "It feels good to be a part of it and contribute a little bit, but we've got a lot of work ahead of us."

Minding Molly - The Courtships of Lancaster County 3 - Leslie Gould
About the book:
Molly Zook Has Everything Planned Just Right.
Or So She Thinks!
Molly Zook's always liked being in control, so she's struggling with her mother's wish that, to save the family farm, she marry Mervin Mosier. Especially after Molly meets Leon Fisher. He's from Montana but is now training horses at a nearby ranch. He's tall and muscular and confident--Molly has never met anyone like him and she's sure he feels the same about her.
Determined to let nothing get between them, Molly tries to coax Mervin into falling back in love with Molly's best friend, Hannah. A weekend camping trip in the Poconos could be just the place...but things quickly go awry, and it seems Leon and Hannah might be falling for each other instead! Will Molly keep struggling to control everyone and everything around her? Or will she learn to let God handle the twists and turns of her life?
My review:
I had a hard time getting into this story. I liked Molly fine, along with the other characters, but there didn't seem to be a lot happening in the story. It felt like a lot of description about day-to-day work and a ton of misunderstandings and miscommunication. This is based on A Midsummer Night's Dream by Shakespeare, which is a chaotic story, but I still felt frustrated with the plot. There was also hardly anything to the romance. I did like the theme of realizing you can't control everything and that you need to let God be God and follow where He leads. Overall, I was quite disappointed in the story, especially since I loved Courting Cate, the first book in the series, so much. I still plan to read Adoring Addie, book two, and future books in the series if there are more. If you like Amish stories, you might want to check it out.
I received this book free from Bethany House Publishers in exchange for an honest review.

Stepfamily Workshops:
Single Parent Workshops:
A good juggler never drops a ball. The life of a single parent is like that of a juggler. Every day they have to balance their adult life (work, keeping a house, meals, bills, discipline and relationships) with their child's life (school, homework, activities, friends, TV and internet.)
In this session, Terri gives single parents practical, tangible help in balancing an otherwise hectic and stressful life.
Whether you're thinking about dating and re-marriage or not, relationships happen. Balancing parenting and dating is a delicate process single parents should be prepared for - before it happens. In this session, Terri takes a Biblical and proactive approach on how single parents can avoid the emotional pitfalls associated with relationships and remarriage. Topics include loyalties, affirming love, why your child acts out around your date, and much more.
Other Family Workshops:
In the "golden years" no one ever expects to be rearing another generation. In this workshop, Terri gives biblical principles for closing the generation gap as well as insightful instruction to the difficult balance between grandparenting and guardianship.

Why Marriage Matters Ohio, a marriage equality education campaign supporting the right for any loving, committed Ohio couple to marry, launched Monday. The program announcement was held in Cincinnati, Cleveland and Columbus simultaneously. The launch introduced the campaign and its founders: Equality Ohio Education Fund, Freedom to Marry, the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, and American Civil Liberties Union Foundation of Ohio.
Senator Sherrod Brown spoke at the Cleveland launch. "All Americans should able to marry the person they love, and they should be able celebrate that love in Ohio. Full rights should not vary by geographical lines. Why Marriage Matters Ohio will bring this issue of equal rights to the forefront," he said.
"Marriage matters," said Elyzabeth Holford, executive director of Equality Ohio Education Fund, speaking in Columbus Monday. "There are couples in Ohio living in legal limbo. It's time to change that. Why Marriage Matters Ohio is part of our roadmap to fairness and dignity for all Ohioans."
Evan Wolfson, founder and president of Freedom to Marry, noted, "Why Marriage Matters Ohio aims to encourage neighbor-to-neighbor conversations across the state, inviting people to talk about their own individual journeys toward support of the freedom to marry and their values of respect for commitment and treating others as we'd all want to be treated. Personal stories are the best conversation starter – and conversation is the best way to help people understand that all loving and committed couples in Ohio, gay and non-gay alike, should be able to share in the freedom to marry and the security and meaning marriage brings."
A recent poll of voters in Ohio done by the Public Religion Research Institute shows support for marriage equality in a dead heat at 47 percent on both sides. Why Marriage Matters Ohio was created to bring marriage equality to the forefront.
"We are committed to bringing full equality to every Ohioan in all aspects of life. That means employment equality, housing equality, and marriage equality," said ACLU Foundation of Ohio Executive Director Christine Link. "The Supreme Court's DOMA decision sounded the call that these inequalities will no longer stand. Any couple who commits to marriage should receive the same rights, privileges, and responsibilities."
"We couldn't be happier to be here working here in Ohio," said Marty Rouse, national field director of the Human Rights Campaign Foundation. "Ohio really is the heart of it all."
The campaign announcement included endorsements from members of the faith and business communities.
"We value marriage in our society. And we also value every Ohioan. It's time for Ohio to step up and celebrate all families across this state," said Representative Nikki Antonio, the first "out" statewide elected official in Ohio, speaking in Columbus Monday.
"When I met Maritza, I knew what it meant to want be with someone forever," said Siobhan Boyd, speaking in Columbus. "The sad thing is that we had to leave Ohio to get married. We love Ohio. This is our home. We know that marriage matters in Ohio and we support this campaign."

So I've been doing this Food Hussy thing for over two years now! Pretty crazy!
I decided for 2011 to switch it up a bit and I'm really excited about the tweaks and wanted to share...so here we go!
Andouille in New Richmond and I'll be going this Saturday...so the review will be up next week sometime.
That should be it - at least at this point. I hope you'll embrace these changes and offer up more and more comments! I love hearing from you on all of my blog posts - even when you don't agree.
I hope we can keep enjoying Cincinnati together in 2011!

what do you mean by you want to be more targeted? Just Curious.ReplyDelete
Good luck with the cheese thing...I'm fairly certain I couldn't do it!
I want to be more focused and planned when going out to eat. I have this wish list on Urbanspoon that I never seem to get to! I figure if I have to go to a place that starts with the letter "H" - I'll have to plan ahead and it won't just be wherever I'm driving by on a whim.ReplyDelete
Make sense?
I don't think I could ever give up cheese! Good luck with that! The alphabet thing is a good way to try a new restaurant! Can't wait to see some recipes too :)ReplyDelete

text: The admirable Guardian newspaper of London has redesigned its website, offering an exceptionally crisp presentation of its arts coverage alongside web-only and bloggy features. Here is the classical site. Currently at the top of the page are sound files for Andras Schiff's recent lectures on the Beethoven piano sonatas at Wigmore Hall (four up now, three more coming). The great pianist may sound a little stiff at first, but give him a chance to let his wry wit and musical intelligence show through. In the first lecture he digresses somewhat to tell the classic, possibly apocryphal tale of Maurizio Pollini's attempt to lecture on Schoenberg to Italian factory workers.

Widgets for Blogger Blogs
A nice tag cloud is a common feature of many blogs, and cleverly represents to your readers what the most popular tags are by displaying them in by size; the bigger the tag, the more popular the topic.
You may already know that Google Blogger has its own label cloud widget – "labels" are Blogger-ese for "tags" – and this can easily be setup to give the same effect as a tag cloud.
Even better than this, you can even reconfigure display options for the standard Blogger label cloud widget to appear even more visibly attractive!
Setting Up Your Blogger Label Cloud Widget
To add the widget to your bog, you must first login to your Dashboard. Once this has loaded up, go to the Design section for the appropriate blog.
Here, go to the Page Elements tab and click on the Add a Gadget link that you might find either at the foot of the template or on the side bar. In the Add a Gadget window, scroll through the list of options until you come to the Labels option, and click the + sign to add it.
You will then see a new page of configuration options. Here you can give your labels a title, choose between all labels or a selection, and sort them alphabetically, by frequency or display as a list or cloud. Make your options as per your preference, but don't forget to set the Cloud option!
Click Save to add the label cloud widget. On the Page Elements tab, you will be able to move the widget around, depending on the template you are using (for instance, some of these might not be suitable for adding or styling widgets). Use the Preview option to see how it might look, and when you're happy with the widget, click on the Save button to update your blog.
Configuring the Blogger Label Cloud Widget
Although the widget was introduced at the request of many Blogger users, it isn't the most visually attractive example of a tag cloud. Luckily some Blogger experts have come up with a way of tweaking the label cloud in the Blogger template in order to improve its looks.
If you're using a standard Blogger template, in the Design section of your Dashboard go to Edit HTML and use your browser search function to find the code:
<b:widget id='Label1′ locked='false' title='Labels' type='Label'/>
The full line may differ, so you might opt to search only on the first 10 characters.
(Alternatively, you might prefer to copy the template code from the Edit HTML page and paste it into your own text editor to save a copy before proceeding. Blogger should be able to restore a working version if your run into difficulties, but this isn't a guarantee).
Next, go to www.bloggerplugins.org to find the full replacement code, and paste this in.
Repeat the procedure by finding
…and again replacing it with the appropriate code from the www.bloggerplugins.org website.
Finally, save your changes – if successful, you will find that the Blogger label cloud widget has drastically improved its looks!

cviii PRELIMINARY ESSAY.
ante, pp. li, xciii), and of the interview which he had there with the emperor, who must have been Hitsung of the Thang, very shortly before the great rebellion broke out. The story of the interview is too long to extract ; but there does not seem to be any sufficient reason to doubt its correctness, and we may gather from it further proof that the knowledge of the Chinese in the days of the Thang was by no means confined to that circle of oblique-eyed humanity which we are accustomed to regard as the limit of Chinese ideas. Ibn Wahab describes Khumdan or Changgan, which was two months' journey from Khanfu, as divided in two by a long and wide street. The city eastward of this was entirely devoted to the residences of the emperor and officers of Government. On the west side were the shops, places of business, and the miscellaneous population. The streets were traversed with channels of running water and bordered with trees.
Abu Zaid, like his predecessor, dwells upon thè orderly and upright administration of China whilst in its normal state. This
indeed seems to have made a strong impression at all times on the other nations of Asia, and we trace this impression in almost every account that has reached us from. Theophylactus downwards,1 whilst it is also probably the kernel of those praises of the justice of the Seres which extend back some centuries further into antiquity.
He is acquainted with the general character of the overland communication between Sogdiana and China Proper. The frontier of the latter was a two months' journey distant, over a country which was almost a waterless desert, though the frontier of • the empire was not far from Khorasan. The difficulty of passing this desert had alone prevented the Musulman warriors of Khorasan from attempting the invasion of China. A friend of the author told him, however, that he had seen at Khanfu a man with a bagful of musk on his back whom he found to have come on foot all the way from Samarkand.2

There has been – justifiably – so much good news about very effective treatments for chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections that it's easy to lose sight of the fact that not everyone is cured with these treatments. Yes, the sustained viral responses are incredibly high for most genotypes of infection. However, there are some patients who do not clear the virus during their first round of treatment.
About a week ago, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first medication that can be used as salvage therapy in patients who failed initial treatment with sofosbuvir or other medications for HCV genotypes 1-6. This means that there is another treatment option for patients who did not achieve a successful outcome with a prior treatment. This medication, Vosevi™, from Gilead Sciences is a once-daily combination pill containing sofosbuvir/velpatasvir and voxilaprevir.
Vosevi is approved to treat adults with chronic infection from genotypes 1-6 of the hepatitis C virus without cirrhosis or with mild cirrhosis. Vosevi was approved by the FDA after a series of Phase 3 clinical trials (based on a total of 750 individuals who failed a prior HCV treatment) were shown to have successfully treated 96-97% of cases.
On the heels of Vosevi is another medication, called Maviret (glecaprevir/pibrentasvir) from AbbVie, which is poised for potential FDA approval. As with Vosevi, Maviret works on all six genotypes of HCV and can be used by patients who failed a previous therapy. Maviret is also predicted to serve as an alternative to Epclusa.
It continues to be a hopeful time for those with hepatitis C, even if one treatment has failed – new breakthroughs and treatment options can still set patients on the path to an eventual cure.

Born 2:30am, September 30th 2012
7lbs 1oz; 21 inches
Round -Cheeked Perfection!
Funny Moments:
1. When babes came into the world the doctor put her up on my chest, and looking at the little legs scrunched up and the belly-button/ambilical chord sticking out I mistook it all for little boy business and exclaimed, "it's a boy!" which we all thought until fifteen minutes later when we repositioned babes and saw little girl bits and squealed, "no! it's a girl! we have a girl!"
2. Selah Grace is a proud big sister! When she climbed into the bed with me though she looked between Teagan and my belly and curiously asked, "mama, why do you still look pregnant?" Because it takes time babe. Because it takes time!
3. Josiah loves baby sister's feet. Loves touching them. Loves tickling them. Loves saying "ister Teagan toes have red feet!"
And now we are tired and are going to rest! Thank you everyone for your prayers and your excitement for our family!

Drinking alcohol can increase your risk of cancer. We'll outline which cancers are linked to drinking alcohol, as well as guidelines on how to limit your intake.
Alcohol increases the risk of cancer in both men and women; the more alcohol you drink, the higher the risk.
How alcohol causes cancer
We don't fully understand the link between alcohol and cancer, but research has proven two things:
- Alcohol damages your DNA, which is a risk in itself.
- Alcoholic drinks have a lot of calories; being overweight also increases your risk of cancer.
And if you smoke when you drink, your risk increases even more.
Alcohol and cancer types
Drinking alcohol can cause the following cancers:
All types of alcohol increase your risk of cancer, even red wine (there is evidence that small amounts of red wine are good for the heart, but don't use this as an excuse to drink more than is recommended each week).
You don't have to be drunk to increase your risk of cancer, simply drinking alcohol increases your risk.
How to limit your intake
To reduce your risk of cancer, simply limit your intake. For men, that means no more than two standard drinks per day. For women, that means one standard drink per day.
A standard drink is:
- ½ pint of beer, lager, cider or stout
- 1 measure of spirits
- 125 milliletres of wine (small glass)
Click to view larger
Drinking more slowly is another way to limit your intake.
Some tips for slower drinking are:
- Drink from a smaller glass instead of a pint; get a single instead of a double.
- Put your glass down between sips.
- Keep busy: play pool, dance or chat.
- Try alcohol-free beers, lagers and cocktails.
- Eat before and while you drink.
- Avoid rounds.

Take a short test by Ask About Alcohol to see how much you're drinking.

The look of your home should be something you're proud of. And you may favor certain areas of your home over the others. Rightfully so, stone surfaces like marble and limestone make the list of people's top elements within their home or business location. These surfaces add an extra gorgeous piece to the overall appearance, especially when they're cleaned and polished to perfection.
However, over time our busy lives can get in the way of regular cleaning or careful care for our marble. Your marble may accumulate stains, etches, spots, discoloring, or simple dullness. Life happens and that's nothing to be upset about when you can fix it.
Polishing your stone can remove small imperfections from the surfaces and leave your marble or limestone looking brand new. In addition to appearance, you'll simply keep your stone durable and won't have to deal with long-term breakage or stains. The reasons to polish your stone seem obvious, but what can hold people back is the daunting task of actually fixing their stone. But actually it's quite simple and there is more than one option to the solution.
Hire a professional.
This is probably the easiest and most convenient option, especially if you lead a busy lifestyle. Marblelife in San Diego is a great company to employ if you're looking for experience and quality. Marblelife is the leading stone care company in San Diego with over 15 years of experience servicing thousands of homes and commercial locations.
This team of qualified and knowledgeable craftsmen can visit your home, polish out any major or minor scratches or stains to renew your marble's look and have it looking flawless in no time. Their services can provide you a thorough cleaning, professional polish, stone sealing, scratch and stain repair, and color and shine restoration. And their job isn't done until you are satisfied.
Or do it yourself.
On the opposite end of your stone polishing options, you may want to do the job yourself. Marblelife also provides a collection of stone care products that are affordable and easy to use. Products like Marblelife's "Marble Polish" provide you, essentially, a "serviceman in a bottle." However, you shouldn't attempt to take care of large projects with only these tools. Hiring a professional is your best bet for large cracks, scratches, or stains.
Many choose to purchase these handy products anyways, even if they employ polishing service. This is because you'll want to upkeep your stone surface's look once you see how amazing it can look. Or many will choose to purchase a continuous maintenance plan for best results.
It is vastly important to care for your stone to keep your space looking beautiful and to help in saving you a financial burden in the long-term. For all your marble polishing or marble cleaning needs, Marblelife is the recommended company for stone care servicing or products. You can contact Marblelife in San Diego for your free estimate at (888) 218-4616. In addition, you can view Marblelife's complete line of products on their website when you click here. Your stone will soon be looking perfect!

Creating Virtual Host on Apache
Category : Blog
This is a tutorial for the beginners who find it difficult to host a website on Apache. Now, this is just for the use in a local testing environment. We usually encounter a common problem while setting up a virtual host in a local testing environment, which is getting a Forbidden message as follows:
You don't have permission to access/index.php on this server.
To rectify or to avoid this permission issue, I strongly recommend creating a folder to hold all the virtual hosts. Here, C:\vhosts signifies that all the virtual hosts are located in this folder.
Note: There are security restrictions on Windows Vista and Windows 8 which prevents you from saving edits to the files even though you are logged in as administrator. To avoid this, open Notepad or your script editor. Then open the relevant files by using File>Open inside the program you have just launched. By default, Notepad shows only files with .txt extension, so you need to select the option for All Files (*.*). This rectifies your problem and you can edit and save the files normally.
Now follow the steps below-
- Add multiple virtual hosts to the Apache server by creating individual subfolder in C:\vhost.
- Open C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\drivers\etc\hosts in Notepad and look for the following line:
127.0.0.1 localhost
- Now, enter 127.0.0.1 on a separate line, followed by a space and the name of virtual host you want to register. For instance, to set up a virtual host called phpbezoar, enter the following:
127.0.0.1 phpbezoar
- Similarly add other virtual hosts you want to register each on a separate line pointing to the same IP address. Save the host file and close it.
- Open the main Apache configuration file (httpd.conf) in a text editor; you can get in the Apache conf For the ones who are using XAMPP, you can access your file from C:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf. Scroll down to the Supplemental configuration section at the end and locate the following section:
- Remove # from the second line, save conf and close it.
- Open extra\httpd-vhosts.conf in Notepad. For the one using XAMPP, the location is C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf. You will get the following:
<VirtualHost *: 80>
DocumentRoot C:\xampp\www
ServerName localhost
<VirtualHost *: 80>
DocumentRoot C:\xampp\www\phpbezoar
ServerName phpbezoar
</VirtualHost >
- In XAMPP, all the lines are commented out. You must remove the # from the beginning of the line that contains the following directive:
NameVirtualHost *.80
- Insert the following code
<Directory C:/vhosts>
Require all granted
- This will set the correct permissions for the folder that contains the sites you want to treat as virtual hosts.
- Considering the above screenshot, the code shows examples of how to define virtual hosts. It shows all the commands that can be used; just the Document Root and ServerName are required.
- Now as soon as you enable virtual hosting, Apache disables the main server root, so you need to reproduce the original server root. Then you can add each virtual host within <VirtualHost> tags, using the location of the site's web files as the value for DocumentRoot, and the name of the virtual host for Again, use forward slashes and if the path contains any spaces, enclose the path within quotes.
- If your server root is located like mine, at C:\docs, and you are adding phpbezoar as a virtual host in C:\vhosts, change the code it may appear as below:
<VirtualHost *: 80>
DocumentRoot C:\docs
ServerName localhost
<VirtualHost *: 80>
DocumentRoot C:\vhosts\phpbezoar
ServerName phpbezoar
</VirtualHost >
- Save httpd-vhosts.conf, and restart Apache.
- You can continue accessing all the sites in the server root through the path http://localhost/sitename/ and you can directly access anything on the virtual host through http://phpbezoar/.
- I hope it would be useful and now you can access your virtual hosts. Again still if you have any difficulty check for index.php in the DirectoryIndex directive in httpd.conf

Deeply think,
back to me.
For you can see,
what use to be.
Come and play.
Don't worry,
just stay.
long ago,
when we thought,
that we would never grow?
Remember when we tried to change.
To be someone else,
just for a day?
Remember when we captured fireflies,
to light our room up bright?
There was no fear there,
for just one night.
Remember how we dreamed,
as butterflies in flight?
The lightness of the air,
reaching way up there,
where the clouds come from,
in their billowing blue and pink.
We stay for a while to feel relief.
Oh, but just while,
and then to sleep.
We prayed for just
one more dream.
But fear not,
all is needed to be in this state of remembrance,
is to think deeply,
and never forget to play.
