Pak Gadjahmada, parent of Rizka (2015) and Rizki(2016)
If I am asked to give a testimony, as a parent whose children went to school at Global Jaya, "What is good from the school?" then I will answer, "One of them is the existence of SSS – Student Support Services." Here's the thing, if our children are in an international school, most of our educational goal is to go to university outside of Indonesia. The problem is there are so many universities to choose and each have its own admission schedule and different ways of applying. Inviting representatives from distinguished universities to hold exhibition and presentation for the students is really important. SSS helps to facilitate this. SSS also gives mentoring to students in preparing essay, personal statement, etc as one of the requirements so that students will be able to be accepted by the university. This is also a very competitive thing beside the IB Final Score as the main requirement. It is not easy preparing an essay, if not being used to and given proper training. SSS monitors the submission schedule of each university based on their major. Beforehand parents were also given seminar regarding university options and the consequences (fee, time, location, opportunity to be accepted, etc). After that the counselor also provide time for individual counseling with the students and their parents, of course with appointment. These past few years SSS also hold university visit/trip during holiday/term break for students starting from year 9. This is of course not free, but really good to give the students preliminary orientation before choosing their desirable university, while filling time with something beneficial. This is also interesting which is involving alumni to talk in front of their juniors. I experienced myself how valuable the existence of Global Jaya alumni at the same universities as my children. At least there will be someone who is willing to answer some basic preparation questions before my children start in the university. This is not advertorial. I need to tell you all of this because based on my experience meeting with other parents whose children are in international school (IB or A level), it turned out not all school provide such free service such this. This made the parents had to find information to education consultant to help with the upcoming study. There is no fault in asking for help from the education consultation when needed. I just feel that it will be more comprehensive if it is done by the school, which Global Jaya has been doing for years.
Ibu Linda Thohir, Parent of Gabby (2015), Ghe (2015) and Gamma (2018)
GJS has been our partner in educating all three of our children. The faculty members have been attentive and supportive toward them throughout their years in GJS, helping them to achieve their very best. As a result our children have become active members of GJS's close-knit community and have demonstrated strong leadership abilities and perseverance. I would like to thank GJS for the opportunities they have given my children, as a parent I could not have been happier with the education they have provided.
Ibu Dewi Yahya, parent of Adjani (Year 8) and Alano (Year 3)
It is of utmost importance personally for us that Global Jaya School put great emphasis on teaching Bahasa Indonesia for our children to appreciate and recognize the diversity of religion and the rich culture in Indonesia are undoubtedly critical in building and developing their generation's characters.
We also commend the school's holistic approach towards education by recognizing the equal importance of youth sport, music and art by continuously upgrading its facilities for the students to pursue their interest beyond academic excellence. We have enjoyed many art and music performances at the state-of-the art theatre and outside on the field student athletes have thrived at many sport events. There is clearly a very good and positive vibe around the school so that the students like to stay at school even beyond school hours.
All this is made possible through the close-knit working partnership between the school, its board members, parents and teachers under the PTA who all share the same vision as reflected in the school's vision and mission.
Ibu Melvy Burhanudin, parent of Arif (Year 7) and Annisa (Year 3)
We are happy and proud parents of Muhammad Mahendra Arifkusumah and Annisa Mahirakirana, both are the year 9 and year 3 students of Global Jaya School.
Aside from the school's outstanding facilities and physical infrastructures, Global Jaya is a professionally managed school with teachers who care about their students.
It is a school where children come and feel loved and safe.
My husband and I love the close attention paid to the individual needs, strengths and areas of challenge of their students, with focus not only on their academic excellence but also on their emotional, self-esteem, creativity and social development necessary to make them grow as a balanced person who cares about their surroundings.
I must take time out to express my sincere gratitude to all teachers, administration and supporting staffs of Global Jaya School for enhancing our life and the life of our son and daughter.
Vera Febrina and Mulya Mashudi, parents of Roofi 6 A and Fattaah 12 E
Year 2014 - 2015
For the past nine years, we are proud to have our two sons as Global Jaya School students. The school has an excellent "International Baccalaureate Program (IB Program)" that has strengthened our sons' interest in research, and taught them to be critical thinkers and knowledgeable persons. The curriculum educates our sons to understand the material, rather than just allowing them to rely on pure memorization for tests. It is also an academically challenging program that prepares them to be successful in university by giving college style classes, assignments, workload, research papers, and professional presentation skills. The coursework drives them to develop strengths in analysis, writing, presentation, motivation, work habits, organization and time management.
Global Jaya School has an excellent system called "ManageBac". ManageBac is an organized system for students to see the schedule, upload the assignments, the academic results, and get feedback from teachers. The system drives the students to be good in time management, and they can evaluate themselves through teachers' feedback. Also it is a very good system for parents to see each subject plan, the schedule of year level courses, the progress of our sons, attendance, academic reports, and feedback from teachers. We are very satisfied with the ManageBac system.
Global Jaya School has qualified, dedicated, and caring teachers, who develop our sons to be process oriented, critical thinkers, knowledgeable, with excellent communication and presentation skills, out-of-the-box thinkers, open minded, caring, risk takers, principled, balanced, and reflective. Global Jaya School also has excellent university counselors, who evaluate students' competencies before they are applying to university, and help students to be ready to enter to university.
As parents, we are very satisfied with Global Jaya School's quality of education and services as the best school for our sons.
Andy Dougharty
Middle School Principal, Teacher and Parent
I have been at Global Jaya since 1999, longer than any other
expatriate teacher. I started as a music teacher, became Head of Department and am now the Middle School Principal. Three of my children are members of the GJS community. Two of them graduated last year and my youngest daughter is currently in Year 9. One of things I have always found interesting is what our expat teachers say about the school. You have to realize that they come from all over the world and have taught in many different countries, but they all talk about how wonderful GJS is. The students are hardworking and well behaved. The parents are involved and understanding. The Yayasan is supportive and has respect for their expertise. The facilities and commitment to providing the best for the school community is realistic and evident throughout the school. In all my years, I can honestly say I have never heard another expat teacher say they had worked somewhere better. I know I haven't.
Regina Anindya Tantri, M.Psy., Psychologist
Head of Student Support Services Department
I have been working with the school as the Secondary School Counselor for the last six years. I'm also an IB Diploma Psychology teacher and Model United Nations Advisor. This is my first year as the Head of Student Support Services in Secondary School. With everything I have experienced in the school, I will say that Global Jaya is a land of opportunities. No matter how cheesy that might sound, working here has been a privilege. This is a school that is willing to invest in its teachers and staff; providing us with support and opportunities to develop ourselves in many different areas. The learning-teaching environment is very conducive; students are well behaved and eager to participate in the learning process. Working relationships between colleagues (either with expat or fellow Indonesians) are also engaging and comforting, making Global Jaya not only a place where you will have excellent colleagues to work with, but also friends and families to have for a lifetime.
Yolanda Bridges
Primary Teacher
Walking in for my interview, I was immediately struck by the vast amount of green space and the thought of how wonderful it must be for students to learn and play in such well maintained facilities. Now part of the team, what I also admire is the ease at which new students transition into GJS. This serves as a testament to the openness of GJS students and their enthusiasm to make new friends. It is clear that GJS has successfully established a strong feeling of community amongst its students, parents and teachers, making GJS a positive, supportive environment for all.
Karen Rudian
Primary Teacher
As a new teacher at Global Jaya, I have been delighted by the support I have received, not only by the school's leadership and colleagues, but also by the school's support staff. The school has a strong commitment to providing its teachers with ongoing professional development. Within the first semester, I not only attended an IB in-school workshop, the Dunia Conference and various in-house sessions on PYP methodology, but also dedicated sessions on IT which help teachers not only develop their IT skills but help us stay connected to the students we teach. The support at Global Jaya is not just limited to teachers but also extends to new students who attend induction sessions hosted by the school's counsellor. This was of great value to my son, who moved with me after attending the same school for 4 years. This helped to provide a smooth transition.
Kemas Muhammad Arradhin - Year 7
In my many years at Global Jaya School I've noticed many things that make this school special. It may be the smallest, most insignificant things such as placement of water fountains, or building layout. But the most important thing that I found in this school and in no other is the kindness and cordiality of the community. At GJS you can be comfortable with every teacher. This is what made the education at GJS special; it feels like a private lesson but with your friends because the teachers know you that well. It works the other way around too. Even if there is bullying going on, you can talk to any teacher and they will help to find the best solution for you. In Secondary School, there is a programme called POSSSE, which stands for Positive, Safe, Supportive, School Environment. This program helps make kids feel comfortable learning at GJS. So what makes Global Jaya School special? Maybe it's the kind and warmth of the community? Or maybe it's the sincerity of the teachers? Perhaps it's the tolerance of the students? In my opinion, it's all of these things. These many things make learning at GJS an enjoyable experience. So that is my opinion on what is special about Global Jaya School. Because we're not just a school, we're a community.
Aarya Sinha – Year 10
Being a fairly new student in Global Jaya, I was pleasantly surprised to receive such a warm welcome from the school's community. I think the facilities, environment and the resources here are unbelievable and invaluable for all the students. I have discovered so much about my talents, abilities and interests through the variety of programs offered here at Global Jaya. The school provides a positive outlook in academics and makes every effort to be inclusive. There is a good variation of sports, academic and after-school clubs provided for the benefit of the students. Overall, the school, staff and students, have made me feel very comfortable and supported.
Kharisma Pratama - Year 11
My name is Kharisma and I am currently in Year 11. I have been in Global Jaya for only two years now, but I can definitely say without a doubt that the place that I thought of as just a school, is now my home and family that I am grateful to have in my life. With a breathtaking campus, highly trusted curriculum, multiple extracurriculars and with such kind and open minded people, Global Jaya offers everything a student needs to truly develop as individuals. Since Global Jaya School is an IB world school, it strives to bring the best in every student's capabilities, completing the spectrum from the sports, academics and the arts. Although surely demanding, the curriculum never fails to prepare the students for what is next to come, and therefore without exception reassures success in every student's future.
Kezia Maria Putrali – Year 12
I moved to Global Jaya back in Reception when I was five years old. Although there have been many changes towards both the buildings and school body, the school's environment and greenery appeals to me the most. Being exposed to green sceneries on a daily basis always offers a refreshing sense of relief. Starting in Primary School, I experienced expansions not only in my knowledge and understanding but also various practical skills such as starting a business for PYP exhibition back in Year 6. Moving on to Secondary School, I further explored my passion through the opportunities that were offered. With the support of my Art teacher, I studied fashion design and designed a piece of clothing for a fashion show during the arts festival. Finally, enterring the IB Diploma Programme was definitely very tough and challenging. Multiple adjustments had to be made as a transition from the Middle Years Programme. I personally found it very overwhelming at first, but it let led me to push my limits and manage my time to overcome the rigorous course. Most importantly, I am really thankful for my supportive teachers who guide me throughout the past two years. As a curious learner, I am thankful for the Global Jaya teachers who are always willing to answer my questions and support me whenever I am lost. Global Jaya has opened up many doors towards bright opportunities for my future which I am very thankful of.
Natya Dharmosetio – DP Graduate, Class of 2014
Without Global Jaya, I could not have been the person I am today nor could I be where I am now. Currently studying architecture at the University of California at Berkeley, USA, Global Jaya has given me plenty of knowledge to be a well-balanced and open-minded person thro ugh the many non-academically related activities I joined. As how a good and ideal school would operate, Global Jaya, however, is more than just a place that educates facts and numbers. Indeed, the competent teachers and staff at school prepared me to excel academically in university through the rigorous preparation I went through in the IB Diploma Program, but the whole close-knit community supports each other in their own fields of interests in a very beautiful way, let it be sports or arts, community & service or any other extracurricular activities and student clubs. Students are able to experiment with what they might or might not be interested in, and students are welcomed to do that and even showcase or compete such skills by using all of school's outstanding various state-of-the-art facilities without being diverted away from academic studies. Such reason is what I think makes Global Jaya distinct from the sea of schools in Jakarta. Thus, being in such environment, I felt very lucky to be able to call Global Jaya my second home.
Min Kyu Jung – NYU Abu Dhabi (Full Scholarship)
My academic career in GJS was remarkable. Not only did I have an internationally renowned education, but I also had numerous support from the open-minded and intelligent individuals of GJS's community. Among the many experiences I cherished in GJS, the best one is perhaps the chant practices I did for GJS sport festivals. These practices required a few hundred students to coordinate in singing and dancing for several hours. Although these practices were rigorous, it gave me a strong sense of community which remains within me to this day. There is no doubt that GJS was highly conducive to attaining a scholarship in NYUAD. If I had to choose one feature of GJS that impacted me the most, it would GJS's constant effort to make international opportunities available to the students. Through GJS alone, I managed to attend a dozen conferences, such as the Harvard Model Congress Asia, that honed my skills in communication and writing and exposed me to a myriad of remarkable individuals with diverse backgrounds.
Narendra Martosudarmo - Colorado Boulder
I first attended Sekolah Global Jaya in 2007 and then I graduated from it in 2013. It is a place where I managed to meet many different people with diverse cultures and beliefs, and it is through my interactions with them that allow me to know more about the world. The interactions that I had with them also provided the social skills that I possess to overcome some of the social challenges that I have come across. The relationship that I had with the school's academical challenges were almost always mixed. Some were very easy to be accomplished, while others were more demanding. At certain times, I needed some help from others to make sure I was on the right track. But in the end, they all helped me in getting around several other problems that possess certain similarities. Nevertheless, Sekolah Global Jaya has played a large role in my social and academic lives, and it will continue to do so.

The day you wake up to a pile of debts, and then you unavoidably start anticipating the dreadful onset of possible bankruptcy. What happens when you can no longer control your finances and with creditors who harass you day and night? While most people accumulate bad debts because of uncontrolled loan choices, some however fall into these debts because of unavoidable circumstances such as health expenses, job loss or backfired investments. The option to apply for another loan could end up being more suicidal than it is practical especially if you know well you cannot be termed as the regular disciplined spender. You surely don't want to worsen your credit status, but whatever your reason is as to why your debts have severely accumulated, you should know that there is still an ace to consider, that is debt consolidation.
Debt Consolidation Loan
With so many individual trying to do debt relief consolidation, you find yourself really struggling to manage these repayments because this no doubt hikes your overall repayment cut. A debt consolidation loan allows for the merging of all your debt repayments into a comprehensive utility with the motive of helping cut down on your overall monthly repayments. With a debt consolidation loan, you get all your debts grouped into one and under a single creditor which also permanently helps keep your many creditors from pressuring and harassing you. The collateral for this loan is often your home which could be a real nightmare if your repayments hit rock bottom. You therefore need to consider all aspects to help determine the possibility of a manageable repayment because you could as easily end up creating mountains where there was only a small elevation. If indeed you feel the conviction that consolidating your debts will only speed the onset of a bankrupt stand, then try other sources of lender such as peer to peer, private and hard money lenders.
About Debt Consolidation Programs
To help you make some well informed decisions, it is vital to get your facts rights on what these programs details. While there is a variety of debt consolidation programs out there, before you can devise the program to help best in dealing with your debts, these important factors needs your attention.
How much can you consolidate? -Most consolidation companies have various limits on the limit you are allowed to reach with your consolidation. Some set a minimum amount while others sets a maximum limit up to where you cannot consolidate.
Repayment period- How long will it take to repay this combined loan? Compound rates tend to dramatically increase your total cost if you repay over a longer period of time.
Fees- The consolidation fees often referred to as the origination fees, are often separate from the interest levied. These are also often levied at the beginning of the process.
Interest rate- Considering the reason you are resorting to consolidation is to weigh down the overall interest amount, you need to be confirm whether your new interest rate will be variable or fixed. If you are not careful, you might find yourself investing in a major disaster while trying to solve a puzzle.
Eligibility- Some debt consolidation programs requires a certain credit score to qualify and considering you the bad debts may have already highly compromised on your credit history, understanding the basis for consolidation for various programs helps narrow down the program that best suits you and prevents you from spending unnecessarily not to mention that extra spending is unaffordable at this point.
Taking in to consideration the magnitude of your debts, the decision of whether debt consolidation is your best endeavor lies desperately on two factors; how disciplined you can with the onset of this new loan and how appealing it is towards your credit status. True, filing for bankruptcy for most people is dreadful and possess enough magnitude to provoke a heart attack, but this might be the better option in a dire situation. If indeed after weighing the nature of your debts a consolidation surface as more of a consolation than a solution, then your best judgment must take charge. While the worst have already happened, wouldn't it be wiser to savage the little you can that to lose it all?

I thought I would post a recipe for a healthy version of a college staple: quesadillas. Of course I don't use real queso, I use Daiya Cheddar Shreds. Using soy cheese alone makes it healthier because it cuts out all the cholesterol. Daiya hands down make the best nondairy cheeses (you can read my review in my Mac and Cheese post), but I don't care what it claims, soy cheese never melt under basic heat like dairy cheese. But, there is a secret to making it melt---steam.
For some added nutrients (I mean come on, you can't just eat a cheap pile of cheese and tortillas), I always add some greens into my quesadillas. Any fresh greens will do---kale, spinach, swiss chard, lettuce & etc. I used some left over mixed salad that from dinner a few nights ago so I had a bit of each. I also whole wheat tortillas. They have more fiber, which is always good.
This makes one quesadillas, but just multiply to make as any as you like.
Soy Cheese Quesadillas
2 small whole wheat tortillas
1/4 cup of Daiya Cheddar Shreds
Handful of Greens (spinach, kale, chard, lettuce...)
Red pepper flakes, to taste
2-3 tablespoons of water, just enough to barely cover the bottom of the skillet
Spray a large skillet with some cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat.
Pile the cheese on top of the tortilla.
Pile the greens on top of the cheese.
Sprinkle on some red pepper flakes.
Top with the other tortilla.
Pour in the water. I suggest pouring it rounding the tortillas, not directly on, so they do not get too soggy. Add it slowly and stop once it barely cover the whole bottom.
Next cover the skillet, I used a large plate but a lid works fine too.
Let it steam until the water is all evaporated. You can peak under the cover if you need to, but I just listen until I hear the tortilla start to sizzle.
Remove the cover, and adjust the heat as needed. Let it brown lightly.
Flip gently and let the other side brown.
Remove from the pan and cut into desired pieces.
I topped mine with some salsa and hot sauce. It's easy and pack with protein, vitamins, and fiber.

- My boyfriend and I have taken a family subscription to the Y.
- It was a sunny long weekend.
- Pumpkin muffins and pumpkin breads !
- I found an apple-raisin bread in a shop and it was so good !
- I am finding out that it's not that I'm not a team player. I just need the right team.
- I am not alone anymore. I have myself and my bf and friends.
- People have been very sweet about the baby. My colleague started a pool at work : they have to guess the date and weight of the baby.
- I got a free chocolate bar.
- I cleaned my coffee maker and it works fine now ! I don't have to buy a new one.
- Spinach pesto, pumpkin pasta, cauliflower mac and cheese…many recipes to hide veggies. 🙂
I guess I have been feeling anxious, a bit restless.
Last night I had to put a bandage after all. I slept badly but I don't know why. We have a new ventilator so the room is cool and comfy. Everything in my life is going well, no major dramas.
Maybe I'm anxious about the pregnancy and the future effects it will have. For example :
- I don't like my sister and she doesn't like me. Is she going to make it difficult for my child ? Will she be able to act correctly in front of him or her ?
- Will I be able to trust my alcoholic mom with the baby ?
- I don't have friends with kids. Who am I going to talk to about whatever is going on ? I plan on registering for mommy and me playgroups and cardio poussettes but it's not the same.
- Will I be able to take care of the baby ? Is my vision too romantic ? I am sure my vision of what it is like with a child is not romantic, it's more really cynic and realist.
- Will I be able to keep my cool or will I become like my parents and yell ?
- I am afraid I will miscarry or that something might happen or that the baby is sick.
It goes on and on.
I hope it goes away. Since I have noone to talk to about this except my boyfriend, I feel lonely. I need some mommy friends I think.
Self interview
What's up ?
Not much
Really ? Why isn't the August Icomleavwe badge on your blog ?
Last month I barely had time to comment and it made me feel disappointed about myself and this month I will be gone for 4 days during the Icomleavwe week. I can't make all the comments in the few days left.
Where are you going ?
I'm going to Québec with C.
How is she doing ?
I wouldn't know. I haven't seen her in a while. She has an insane schedule at work and she's looking for another job and she has a boyfriend.
You are rationalizing, aren't you ?
Because I'm angry that she does that all the time. And I know I'm unfair about it. She really is busy and really has no time.
What makes you so angry then ?
It's always the same thing. I have to call her or ask her to do something. Since she has a boyfriend, I feel like she waits for him by the phone (which she doesn't) and I'm always last. I hate it. When I talk to her about it she says she will do better, she will ask me to do stuff. But she doesn't. My rationalization is what makes me wait for her. Patiently.
Although your patience is nearing its limits.
What are you doing about it ?
I'm hoping our vacation will bring us closer together and I have started a friend quest.
Friend quest ?
Yes. I am trying to see if looking for friends is the same thing as looking for a boyfriend. Can I apply the same strategies ?
Can you ?
That's what I am examining. I have registered on web sites and have started going to activities. I think that I am not making real friends at work, my rela life friends are busy with boyfriends and babies. I'm not making friends at the gym either, I'm concentrating on my weights. So maybe activities that I like will attract other people who like that too.
What activities ?
I have been to breakfast at Cora's and I have been to the Ceramic café. This was done with the first website I registered at. I used Meetup as well as suggested by Elizabeth. This afternoon I am going to a drawing class.Another web site I registered with is for women only and I have not RSVPd to any activities yet because my schedule is full. I'm waiting for Fall.
Have you met interesting people ?
At breakfast no. One guy I already knew but the other one was weird (he kept looking at my décolleté and he talked too loud, he had no social skills, he even started reading the newspaper before the meeting was concluded). At the ceramic café I met a French woman vacationing here and she was quite nice. Very calm. We had moments of silence while we did our ceramic painting and we talked about men, our exes and all that. It was nice. She is coming to my eating cupcakes activity next week. Too bad she is going back to France at the end of the month.
Do you feel like it's online dating ?
The weird guy made me feel this way and this other website I was using. I deleted my account this morning because everyone was called a friend on the website but it felt like an online dating service and I had only one woman send me an email. Only men voted on my profile or picture. Blargh.
So you are going to a drawing class today ?
Yep. I have to buy a drawing pad, I haven't used one in years but I still have my charcoal pen. It's a model class with vin et fromages. Relaxed. I hope I can go.
Why ?
I have blisters under my two feet near the toes. I walked too much with new flipflops that looked very promising. I should stick to what's known and trusted : Crocs.
Ouch. Why didn't you buy Crocs this time ?
I went to the store on Ste-Catherine and they didn't have flipflops anymore. So I bought two pairs (2?!) at the massotherapy place I went to this week. I shouldn't have…
How to be alone et Lundi reconnaissant
J'ai vu le vidéo sur un blog, hier, mais je ne l'ai pas regardé. Surprise de le trouver sur Facebook, je l'ai regardé. Wow. Moi, c'est comme ça que j'ai appris à être seule. J'aimerais donc que plus de francophones soient bilingues pour comprendre le vidéo…peut-être que je pourrais le traduire ?
Lundi reconnaissant
- I'm grateful I understand English, I can write it and speak it.
- Je suis contente d'avoir appris à être seule. Ça a pris du temps, mais maintenant, je suis bien.
- La visite de P. hier était vraiment cool. Je suis contente de le voir !
- Maudit que ma famille est folle !
- Mon père (le chum de ma mère) m'a prêté son appareil photo et il fait de la macro !! C'est un Canon Powershot S21S.
- C'est mon premier lundi de vacances.
- J'ai fait une soupe super bonne, hier ! Tofu, champignons, échalotte française…je vais poster la recette bientôt.
- J'ai fait un pique-nique avec J-L samedi. Ça fait du bien d'être seuls sans ordinateur.
- J'ai maintenant 125$ à dépenser chez Lululemon grâce à J-L et ma petite soeur. Ça fait des années que je veux du linge Lululemon !!! Évidemment, je vais ajouter de mon argent pour pouvoir avoir un suit !
- Pour payer mes vacances, j'ai roulé mon change et sorti tout ce que j'avais dans mes banques. J'avais 850$ ! Wow.
What do I bring in Ottawa ?
We are going to Ottawa this weekend for my boyfriend's goddaughter's birthday. She is turning 5 !
It will be our first trip where we sleep somewhere for more than one night. I find this so romantic. But I don't know what he thinks. He comes from there so maybe it's not really adventurous or wonderful for him. I sure hope he is excited to go with me and visit. I hope we have a great time and that we get along.
I should ask him what his expectations are except for visiting a bar that has something to do with Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I am going because I have to do what he wants sometimes. Right ? If it were up to me all we would do is read, take pictures, walk, clean, cook and go grocery shopping. I'm a solitary person and he's a very sociable person. He needs to go out and meet people. I don't. There is nothign wrong with being fine alone. I have friends but I don't need to see them every week.
He's not a big planner and I am.
So what do I bring in Ottawa…
- An umbrella because it might rain Monday ok
- 3 pairs of panties ok
- My support shorts so my thighs don't do couic-couic by rubbing together ok
- A skirt ok
- A cardigan ok
- 3 tops ok
- A nightie ok
- Toothbrush and toothpaste ok
- Face and body cream ok
- Mascara, powder, sunscreen ok
- Shampoo. conditioner ok
- Comb ok
- Soap and face cleaner ok
- Black pantashort ok
- Flip-flops ok
- Running shoes ok
- Guides for restaurants ok we printed the addresses
- Train tickets and room reservation number ok
- Gift and card J-L is taking care of it
- Money ok
- Android Karenina ok
- Laptop ? no
- Camera ok
I hope the cake is as good as last year's. It was a Cinderella cake and it was fabulous.
I'm kind of anxious about this trip. What if we discover we can't get along while visiting ? What if we get bored of each other ? What if we don't think alike on the money to spend at restaurants and can't find places we both want to eat at ? What if we have nothing to say to each other ? Anyway. I worry for nothing. Everything will go fine, we will have fun and we will come back even more in love. We will laugh and kiss and fart glitter and see rainbows and unicorns. 🙂
That man is so patient and easygoing. Nothing can go wrong. Right ?
What if I messed up my life and I don't get another chance ? What if I didn't mess up but nothing else happens ? What if I didn't mess up and I don't see things when they happen and I really mess up ? What if I never feel « enough », ever.
She was so afraid of having this boring life forever. Getting up each morning to feed the cats and the fishes. Then eating whatever was in the fridge. Getting to work by this long bus ride, leaving her seat for an old woman or anyone she thought needed it. Working unappreciated by her workplace and her colleagues. Getting back home, an half-hour wait for the bus and almost another hour of bus ride. No time for a class, no time to go out.
She thought that meeting the One would start her life. Surely it would, right ? Instead of going out, taking classes, going to the gym, she just sat in front of the computer every night, hoping that someone, anyone would get online and chat with her. She even subscribed to Those Websites.
She did meet some men through the site. But instead of being a realist and seeing things as they were (going nowhere) she just kept hoping that these men would come back after having had sex with her (on the first night). So she never met this One she so desired.
Instead she gave money to her ex, bailing him out every time he needed it, saving her weekends for him even when he had a girlfriend. Then she was mad at him for choosing his girlfriend over her.
It looked like a dog chasing his own tail, turning round and round, the rest of the world a blur.
As Einstein said, don't expect a different result by doing the same thing over and over again.
Être capable de dire "Non"
8 novembre 2007
Hm. No one has ever said I could say it and I had every reason to say it. No one has ever said I had to defend myself and I could.
Saying no is difficult, I feel guilty and I'm always afraid that I might be at the receiving end of an extended arm going very fast. Why ? I don't know. maybe because it happened often enough home when I was little. Just because. Not because I said no, I hardly said anything.
My parents always said I had to be careful with strangers. But no one ever told me that I had to be careful with people I know. My parents never told me. Maybe because they would have been the first I would have looked at as « a bad person ». I did go to the school counselor when I was in junior high but even if I had a lot to tell, I just couldn't talk. No words came out after « I want to change houses ». I just couldn't talk.
I often feel the same way again. I can't talk. I can't cry. When I talk too much it's because I hope what I say will fall in someone's ear, any ear just as long as my words find someone who will truly listen to me. Not like my family.
Saying no requires being angry. And being angry isn't well seen for a woman. A woman can't be angry in public or even in private. It isn't polite or lady-like. I have a lot of difficulty with my anger. I stifle it until it explodes and it usually is too late. I am trying, I'm better at feeling it. Last year I didn't feel a thing, ever. Not a feeling, ever. Everything was buried deep.
Now I do feel anger. I can say no. But I feel like a bad person. I don't want to reject someone, hurt the person. But I have to don't I ? I can't just do everything people want me to do. I can't be what people want me to be.
Being myself is saying no. Being myself is difficult and it makes me feel guilty, angry and afraid.

Problem with filenames migrating uploads Wordpress folder
I am migrating a WordPress site, and I have a trouble with the filenames of the /uploads/ folder, when contains characters like á, é, í, ó, ú, ñ, etc. The database is OK, but when I browse (ls) the folder that content the file, I have different results between old and new server. Old server filename: m??s-ganancias-en-Android-que-en-iOS-news.jpg database: m%C3%A1s-ganancias-en-Android-que-en-iOS-news.jpg DigitalOcean filename: m#U00e1s-ganancias-en-Android-que-en-iOS-news.jpg database: m%C3%A1s-ganancias-en-Android-que-en-iOS-news.jpg In order to migrate, I zip the entire folder in old server, then "wget" from the new one, and finally "unzip".

After so many years of "Maybe next year," Cubs fans and White Sox fans have come together hoping for a Chicago team victory. Even if theses hopes are dashed, it has been a season worth celebrating for Chicago baseball fans. Hopefully, there will be a lot more celebrating in the next few weeks! In any case, it has given the staff here at MSM one more reason to break bread together in a festive atmosphere!

"Where the land ends and the sea begins" -Luís de Camões
R and I recently went on a trip to Portugal. I was so pleasantly surprised by the country. It's very distinct (surprising to me because of its smaller size and its frequent association with Spain, at least in my mind). The people, food, architecture, landscapes were all very unique. And I loved it.
Some photos from Lisboa.
The following were taken at Sintra, a town about 45 minutes by train outside of Lisbon. Sintra was a favorite summer getaway for past kings.

My mom and I climbed to the top of the hill on which the Sacre-Coeur sits. It was well worth the time and energy. There is a fantastic view of Paris from the top. And we happened to be there right around sunset (4:30PM), thus managing to catch the 20-30 most beautiful minutes of the day where the sun's rays fall on the church, creating beautiful hues of orange, yellow, and pink.

Has your basement turned into a pile of junk that no one ever dares to go into? The basement of your home is a lot of space that you could use for more than just storage. You can turn it into a hobby or game room, or an extra guest room. However, you will need to get rid of all the junk first. If you are wondering what to do with all the stuff in your basement, here are a couple of things you can consider:
Hold a Garage Sale
The garage sale is an American tradition that has allowed people to share valuable items, sentimental items or items they no longer need with neighbors and friends while making a little bit of money out of it. If you do not simply want to throw away all your stuff or give it away for free, bring it up to the driveway, set up a garage sale and have fun interacting with your neighbors for the day. You never know who could make the most innovative uses out of your old stuff.
Sell Online
With the advent of the internet technology, you do not need to spend the whole day in the sun hawking your stuff on the driveway. In case you have a few valuable items that are in good condition, you can also choose to post online on websites like eBay, Amazon and Craigslist. You can also make this a little fun by hosting online auctions and selling your items to the highest bidder. Online selling is only advisable if you just have a few items to sell as having a lot of things to sell can take time taking pictures and writing descriptions for each items.
Donate to Charity
There are plenty of charities that work with the less fortunate all over the world who would be happy to take your junk. From old clothes, shoes, toys, books, electronic equipment to half used buckets of paint, as long as it is usable, they will find use for it. You can take pride in knowing that you made a difference in someone's life by giving donations to charity.
You can also decide to make those around you feel special by giving to your friends, family and neighbors. Ask your family over for lunch and give them free access to the basement to collect whatever they want. They could actually help you reduce all the heavy lifting and trips to the basement it would take you to clean up.
Toss It
If its old, broken and you cannot really see how someone else will use it, then toss it. A bin rental Toronto service can help you get rid of unwanted piles of junk at a small fee.

But there is another way. It's called 'Lectio Divina' which is Latin for 'Divine Reading'. It's a way of reading the scriptures with your heart rather than your mind. The technique (if you can call it that) is to read the text very slowly, savouring it and allowing it to slowly filter down into your very being – your heart. If a word or phrase seems to resonate with you, to catch your attention in some way, then stop and engage with it by repeating it slowly several times. Ask yourself : Why THAT phrase or word? What is God wanting to say? Commuicate? This is God connecting with you, speaking to you something He wants you to hear. We need therefore to listen and to listen intently, which is something we are not very practised at.
But be warned. You need to give this process time. It does not always yield its fruit straight away. You may have to 'chew it over' a few times. Its not like eating oysters where you swallow it whole. This is very important. You should not rush your time with God. Elijah heard the soft whisper of a still small voice, there on the mountain with God (2 Kings 2:1-14) but it came only after waiting through the storm the wind and the fire. Whatever God says is worth hearing, so take your time. Be patient. Listen closely. Lean in to God until you catch what He is saying.
I was preparing to speak this morning on the gospel for today (Easter 2) when I decided to apply this technique of Lectio to the passage from Luke 24:13-35. I started slowly and got as far as verse 14:
"While they were talking and discussing together (i.e. the things that had happened to Jesus), Jesus himself drew near and went with them". Here are the sort of things that came up as I listened and chewed over the words.
Jesus had been through much on the cross. The physical sufferings of the torture, the nails, the slow suffocation, the thirst. The mental torment, the sense of betrayal, abandonment. The spiritual agony of bearing on himself the sins of the world, the experience of hell, darkness and being separated from God. The resurrection came as his release. God awaited him. Yet he came back and 'hung around'for forty days. Why? Because he needed to be with his people, thosee he spent time with, those he died for. There was/is still much work to do.
ThenI thought about what was happening when Jesus came alongside. The disciples were talking about him, what had happened, what it meant. What now? Their talk drew Jesus in – although they did not know it was him at that point. But isn't that always the case? When we talk, think, speak about, discuss Jesus and the things of God, doesn't Jesus always draw near. When you are having a conversation and a friend draws alongside, he is interested and listens. But then when you mention him and start to talk about him, doesn't he then move from the 'outside' as it were, into the centre of what is going on. And doesn't he speak too? Correcting, agreeing, changing one or two wrong facts, engaging with what it going on? If that is true of conversations between people isn't it then true of conversations regarding God? When we hearteh scriptures read – isn't God involved? When we hear a sermon – isn't God involved there too? When we read and discuss the Bible together, isn't God listening in, helping us understand the passage, being caught up in what is happening?
And if this is so, isn't that a wonderful opportunity to engage him still more with prayer? "Draw near to God," promises James, "and He will draw near to you." (James 4:8) And "where two or three gather together in my Name i.e. with me at the centre of their activity and purpose, "there am I in their midst." (Matthew 18:20) Jesus' presence is not only assured but he is at the centre of our engagement and our company. He is our companion as we walk and talk and act and speak.
So with these thoughts from one brief passage, God is engaging me and drawing me deeper and deeper into the mystery which is His presence with us. The power and the prize of the resurrection is "Christ in us and with us, the hope of glory." (Colossians 1:24-29)
So try 'Lectio' as a way of deepening your walk with God. There is much more to it than I have spoken of, but this is, hopefully, a start.

Welcome two new cats in my life : Eartha, who has taken 6 months to grow to completion, and JB, who arrived in my home a few weeks ago, already 1 years old.
Eartha, however, is a mosaic artwork and the second in the 'Catwalk' Series inspired by the strange and wonderful anthropomorphic illustrations of Louis Wain. This one is based on a 'Norwegian Forest' breed with a big sideways mysterious grin.
Gladstone Park Primary School pupils held a ceramucs workshop and made things you'd see in the town – there is the corner shop, traffic lights, litter bins, local mosque, and named tube station roundels, amongst other icons. They also made flora and fauna, bees, butterflies and local birds.
The cat head & body went through many manifestations, ear shapes and whisker directions. Its anthropormphic human size features tested my patience and cat COMMITMENT
Meanwhile, the real character of cats continue to amaze me…JB is a constant now, and i thank Eartha for bringing him into my life.

Hearty Potato Leek Soup Recipe
- 7-8 Potatoes peeled and sliced in ¼ inch chips
- 3 Cloves Garlic, minced
- ½ cup fresh or dried Parsley Flakes
- 2 large organic Carrots, grated
- ¼ to ½ cup of Pesto (I make my own, but it is available in stores now)
- ¼ to ½ pound Bacon cut into ¼ inch strips and fried crisp (discard fat)
- 3 cups Leeks chopped into ¼ inch rounds (I use about ½ of the green top as well. It gives the soup a nice color.)
- Celtic Sea Salt to taste
- 1/3 teaspoon of Crushed Red Pepper flakes
Enough Water to just cover the tops of the vegetables (not too much, or you will have to pour too much off after they cook.)
Put all ingredients into a 12-quart saucepan. Simmer on Medium heat about 30-40 minutes until leeks are soft and potatoes fall apart. Discard half the water, or save it for a high-potassium breakfast drink. Mash the potatoes if you like smooth soup or leave it kind of chunky. Whichever you prefer.
- Add 2 cups 1% Milk
- ½ to 1 cup crumbled Feta Cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
If you like creamier soup, add a dollop of Sour Cream to the bottom of the soup bowl before you fill the bowl. Stir and serve.
Makes about 6-8 servings. A great Alkalyzing soup.

In the market for an iPhone? Here's a breakdown of all the currently shipping iPhones from Apple.
Apple Lets Several YouTubers Get Closer Look at iPhone X Ahead of Friday's Launch
Brian Farmer and Noah Thomas of lifestyle website Highsnobiety shared a five-minute video in which they demo Animoji, 4K video playback at 60 FPS, Face ID, front-facing Portrait Mode, wireless charging, and other features.
YouTube personality Mark Watson, known as Soldier Knows Best, praised the iPhone X's design and performance. He said the new swipe-up gestures for unlocking the device and multitasking will take some time to get used to.
BooredAtWork.com's executive editor Enobong Etteh said the iPhone X is one of the best looking iPhones ever. His video provides a side-by-side comparison of the iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X, along with hands-on time with Face ID and Animoji.
Sam Beckerman went to New York on behalf of Canada's FASHION Magazine for an exclusive hands-on look at the new iPhone X. The video recaps her 10 favorite features of the device, such as Face ID, Animoji, and ARKit.
Beyond the event in New York, a few other videos of the iPhone X have surfaced on YouTube today. We've embedded videos from French channel TheiCollection, Popular Science, and The Ellen DeGeneres Show below.
iPhone X pre-orders began on Friday, with shipping estimates now at five to six weeks for orders placed today. The device launches November 3, with limited in-store availability for walk-in customers on a first come, first served basis.

But still fired the engineer who's daughter posted the X video.It's hard to believe you can't understand the difference.
The unauthorized video by the engineer with a non-disclosure contract's daughter showed internal Apple QR codes and meeting schedules and even if it didn't, it was a week ahead of Apple's strategic promotional schedule which is planned with military precision.
Do you really treat ethics so cavelierly in your own career?
Phone isn't selling as expected.
People are nervous at HQ.
So I just heard on the news, Apple did indeed double down on security and fired the engineer who's daughter posted virtually NOTHING new about the iPhone X. Ruined Dad's life for fricking nothing, love you Apple.
Yeah he just allowed a video to be posted with private calendar invites, secret product names, employee only QR codes and allowed video to be shot in an employee only area that expressly forbids video to be shot. But you know its basically the same. /s
Oh my god!!! The true depth sensors actually blink!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know why, I don't like that.....
They only blink on these videos because the video camera being used is not filtering out the infrared lights properly. In actual life your eyes wont see it.

Why Vinny Lingham says you don't need funding to launch your startup
Fellow Shark Tank investors Vinny Lingham and Marnus Broodryk unpack why you don't need an investor to launch – and scale – a successful startup. By Matt Brown
Too many startups are impatient, and it's one of the key reasons why they can't scale or secure funding, says Vinny Lingham, one of South Africa's Shark Tank investors, and the founder of Gyft, which he exited for $50 million, and Civic, an identity protection and management startup based in the US.
"If you want to achieve something great, you need a plan," he said at the third Secrets of Scale event that we hosted at the MESH Club in Rosebank. The aim of my show, The Matt Brown Show, is to give entrepreneurs access to the top entrepreneurial minds in South Africa, unpacking their experiences and top advice, and effectively helping business owners and startups to learn from their growth journeys.
Vinny Lingham and the other panellists at the event, Jason Goldberg, founder and CEO of 10X-e and co-founder of Edge Growth; Vuyo Tofile, CEO of Entbanc Group; and Marnus Broodryk, a fellow investor on Shark Tank with Vinny and the CEO of Transaction Capital SME Services, were all able to share valuable insights around what it takes to build a startup that will scale, and why the necessity of landing a funder is a myth.
Vinny's advice was particularly on point: "Lay the right foundations and focus on your process. Don't be impatient. Too many entrepreneurs are trying to run before they can walk or even crawl. Be thoughtful about how you put the business together and above all, go slow. Hiring more engineers and building bigger teams doesn't necessarily speed things up. You can't throw money at the problem and think you'll get there quicker. Business doesn't work like that."
Start with the goal in mind
In my experience, based on hundreds of interviews with top entrepreneurs, as well as building my own business and brand, there's the business you are now, and then the business you're becoming. You need to always be innovating and keep that end gaol in mind: What kind of business will you become?
Vinny used his own experiences with Gyft to illustrate his point. "From day one we focused on high levels of user engagement. We needed conversion rates. We focused on that first, followed by what percent of return customers we achieved, and then who bought more and more. In other words, we concentrated on the metrics, and on our customers.
"If you're moving too quickly, you end up with a product that's not ready, people who aren't happy and everyone in a hurry. Most importantly, you don't have a scalable, repeatable product and market offering that's ready."
However, if you focus on your customers, not only will you have a revenue stream to build on, you won't need external funding. "Not every business can be bootstrapped," he admitted. "If your business is reliant on a product development cycle, you need external investment. But if you have something to sell from the word go, and a runway of 12 months, you can launch without an investor.
"From there, the biggest signs that your start-up is ready to scale are a high customer retention rate and good strong lifetime value of a customer – both of which you can only determine if you've been operating in the market. You need to know what each customer can bring in, your profit margin, as well as that there's only a marginal fixed cost to each additional customer."
Putting customers – and profits – first
Jason, Marnus and Vuyo all had valuable insights to add, sharing their top lessons in scaling a startup, and echoed Vinny's sentiments that funding is not the most important element in launching a business.
"99% of business owners don't start with funding," said Marnus. "They change something, tweak things here and there and find a way to get revenue from customers.
"That's how we did. We didn't want to be the biggest accounting firm in South Africa, we wanted to be the most profitable. We focused on our pricing and product fit and made sure that if we took the business from ten people to 1 000, we could do it with the same model.
"There's no point in getting 10 000 people onto your platform – all based on VC funding – and then the cash runs out and you realise you can't monetise the business. It's pointless and it happens a lot. Scale must be profitable. You can't keep adding people and scaling the business if the costs are so high that you can't monetise what you're doing. Start small, get your customers on board, and use your own revenue to grow."
Vuyo agreed. "Too many entrepreneurs don't focus on the product. We all want to scale, but no one starts out trying to cater for 1 billion people. You need to cater for your first 100. Focus on them and make sure they're extremely happy. If you aren't focusing on your first customers and they aren't happy, you won't grow into other markets. We scaled as a consequence of that early focus."
"When the market comes to you, you're ready," added Jason. "That's when you have a repeatable model that's scalable. What you want is mediocre people who can do an extraordinary job through how you've set up the business. Once you've proven that over and over with very happy customers, then you're ready to scale."
His advice was simple. "Silicon Valley has a great analogy – are you selling a vitamin pill, or a headache pill? Your customers can stop taking a vitamin pill and they might not notice for months. If you're selling a headache pill though, they notice every minute without you. Your customers must feel pain in the absence of your solution – and no one else must be able to take away that headache as quickly or conveniently as you. Shift away from product-based pricing to value based pricing. What is taking the headache away worth?"
Focus on your business
"Don't waste your time on investor meetings," was Vinny's final word to the entrepreneurs in the room. "The percentage of deals closing is extremely low, and it's a total distraction. You spend so much time chasing investment that you aren't concentrating on your startup.
"Focus on your business. When you get your KPAs right, you know what your north star is, and you have your metrics, then investors will come to you. Raise as little as possible at the right price at the right time. The wrong price at the wrong time can actually damage your business."
This segment will be the majority of our focus and will cover practical "how to steps" for scaling your business. We'll be revealing how to design a scale ready business and walk you through common pitfalls that all entrepreneurs will encounter as they "build the aeroplane" and how to avoid them. We'll also reverse engineer how to design a scale ready business from a 150 strong team all the way down to a 5 person team.
This segment is all about how to ensure that you remain profitable as you scale. We'll unpack how to bring different revenue streams, partnerships and products/services to together to help you weather any storm.
In this segment we'll explore the systems that can help you scale, how to automate repetitive processes and outsource non-essential tasks and how to design a business that makes more money while you sleep than when you're awake.

BusinessBriefs: Companies, Organizations & People in the News
> Dynamic Fuels LLC, a 75 MMgy renewable diesel plant currently under construction in Geismar, La., is a 50-50 joint venture between Tyson Foods Inc. and Syntroleum Corp. Dynamic announced in August that it will use automation and process control technology designed by Emerson Process Management of Austin, Texas. Emerson's PlantWeb digital plant architecture, which will be integrated into the Dynamic Fuels facility, networks an automation system and predictive maintenance software with smart devices installed throughout the operation, including control valves, flow meters and temperature transmitters.
> Tenaska Biofuels LLC of Omaha, Neb., and Prairie Pride Inc. of Deerfield, Mo., are integrating their businesses for a stronger position in the marketplace by applying a traditional partnership template to the biofuels industries in an effort to compete against vertically integrated, multi-national agricultural corporate giants. Feedstock procurement requires expertise in risk management and hedging, which necessitates substantial capital.These are all assets that Tenaska brings to the partnership, along with several years experience in marketing biodiesel and virgin oil. The companies will cooperate to purchase the soybeans, and Prairie Pride will participate in marketing meal and hull pellets.
> The Air Transport Association of America Inc., an organization for the leading U.S. airlines, said eight of its member airlines have signed an unprecedented agreement with Rentech Inc. and Aircraft Service International Group to purchase up to 1.5 MMgy of renewable diesel fuel. RenDiesel, will be used in ground service equipment at Los Angeles International Airport beginning in late 2012, when Rentech's production plant is scheduled to go into service.
> In a deal between companies that dominate the seed business and have historically been fierce rivals, Syngenta AG of Switzerland has agreed to purchase St. Louis-based Monsanto Co.'s sunflower business for $160 million. The sunflower seed market is currently valued at around $700 million, and is developing at a fast pace, Syngenta stated in August. The transaction is subject to the approval of regulatory authorities.
> JatOil Ltd. of Pyrmont, Australia, has signed a memorandum of understanding with PT Waterland, a Dutch-Indonesian consortium that has "developed extensive jatropha operations in central Java to supply European power markets," JatOil announced. The pending transaction would involve JatOil buying a controlling interest in 1,000 to 2,000 hectares (2,500 to 5,000 acres) of established jatropha farms in central Java, an island of Southern Indonesia.
> The non-profit Renewable Energy Institute International announced an alliance of industry, academic and government organizations to build a pilot demonstration plant in Toledo, Ohio. The alliance includes Red Lion Bio-Energy, Pacific Renewable Fuels, Grace Davison, PACCAR, SolarTurbines/Caterpillar, National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), Desert Research Institute, Quanta Services, Worley Parsons, University of Toledo, Midwest Terminals/Port of Toledo, among others. A propriety waste-to-energy thermal conversion process has been designed and validated at test sites in Sacramento, Calif.., and Toledo. The demonstration plant has a capacity of 350,000 gallons of waste-based, high-cetane diesel. Plans are to deploy the first commercial plant at Gridley, Calif., where rice harvest waste, wood waste and other local biomass residues will be converted to diesel fuel and renewable electricity.
> Amalgamated Inc., Fort Wayne, Ind., has introduced a new additive, Winter 3,000, for lowering the cold filter plugging point temperature of diesel fuel for improved winter operation. The new technology works directly with the nucleator receptors present in all diesel fuels to enhance the molecular bonding of paraffin and biodiesel particles. The improved additive-to-paraffin bonding allows for lower additive rates, as low as 1 part per 3,000 for acceptable cold point temperatures in nearly all areas in the U.S. The company adds that when combined with Amalgamated's Wax Dispersing Additive, the new additive provides unmatched winterization protection and performance.
> Biofuel Advance Research and Development LLC recently received an award from the National Algae Association as the best algae development company for 2009. The Philadelphia-based company is developing a photo bioreactor system for algae production. It also has permits, contractors and offtake agreements in place for a 60 MMgy biodiesel plant at the Keystone Industrial Port Complex outside Philadelphia. Plans are to begin production using soy oil and incorporate algae oil as it becomes available.
> Grant Menke has joined the staff of Iowa Renewable Fuels Association as biofuels manager. In his new role, Menke will focus on the promotion of biodiesel and biodiesel coproducts, the oversight of regulatory affairs and other duties. Prior to joining the IRFA, Menke served as the research assistance for Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) on the U.S. Senate Finance Committee.
> Wika Instrument Corp., Lawrenceville, Ga., has introduced a process pressure gauge to the biodiesel industry as a durable gauge engineered to provide years of reliable service in harsh and demanding environments. The Wika Type 232.34 Bourdon Tube gauge's design and construction is suited for applications involving pressure pulsation, vibration, corrosive environments and a wide range of operating temperatures. Wika has developed a brochure for the biodiesel industry showing applications for its line of gauges across the production facility.
> A recent upgrade to The National Renewable Energy Laboratory's interactive map, TransAtlas, will allow marketers and distributors to locate product sources and high proportions of diesel drivers who might be interested in using methyl esters. TransAtlas now correlates biodiesel production locations with diesel vehicle density and fueling stations across the United States. "Flying J, for instance, might be able to plan the installation of a new station in an area where there is a high density of diesel vehicles and a production plant but little retail availability," said Kristi Moriarity, senior analyst for NREL. To view the map visit http://rpm.nrel.gov/transatlas/launch/.
> LiveFuels Inc. started pilot operations at the company's test facility in Brownsville, Texas. Consisting of 45 acres of open saltwater ponds, the facility will be used for tests on its low-cost, open-water algae system. To harvest the mix of native algae, LiveFuels uses a mix of oil-rich algae grazers, such as filter-feeding fish species and other aquatic herbivores that can be processed into oils and other coproducts. The company's concept is to harness flows of agricultural pollution from the Mississippi River along the Louisiana coast to support algae production. Based in San Carlos, Calif., LiveFuels has raised $10 million in private funding for its research and development

Watch This 'Mad Max: Fury Road vs Mad Max Trilogy' Supercut
One of my favorite Vimeo Video Editors, whoispablo, put together an interesting new Supercut showing the similarities between the recently rebooted Mad Max: Fury Road and the original Mad Max Trilogy.
Alright, this is a weird realization to have. But I think either there really is only one way to make a movie, or remakes, reboots, and reimaginings are literally just the same recycled setups, tropes, lighting, camera angles and zooms from the original. Here's a small list of similarities I can list off the top of my head:
Tumbling car crash : Check
Deserted highway scene : Check
Bad guy looking through telescope : Check
Chained prisoner on car : Check
Foot slamming on gas pedal : Check
Attacking a driver through open window : Check
Slow zoom into important car gauge : Check
Dust, E-V-E-R-Y-W-H-E-R-E : Check
Though, I think I'm being too nitpicky because this Tina Turner Aunty Entity/ Immortan Joe comparison is pretty fucking badass:

Ok, following on from the last Freedom Writer post: Freedom Writer Domains to Make Money, concerning buying expired domains, let's look at one of the things you can do withe them once you've got them!
If you've decided to get some professional hosting with a company that allows you to host multiple domains (a very economical way of hosting all those nice expired domains!) so that you can start collecting WordPress blogs and keep them all in one place, this short primer might help you to get started setting up those blogs!
Here's my step by step starter's guide to setting up your first self-hosted WordPress blog.
Once you get the hosting account set up with HostGator (and I won't talk generally about multi-domain hosting companies, I'll be specific here as I can talk you through this from first hand experience, having a HostGator account myself), if I remember correctly the first domain you register with them becomes your primary domain. So choose your main domain for that – a short domain name here is a good idea.
All other new domains you add become subdomains of the primary domain as viewed from your cPanel and also via FTP (which is why a short name is preferable), but as far as the rest of the world see them they are top level domains in their own right.
So – whichever domains you want to use as WordPress blogs, you need to complete a few steps in cPanel.
1. Add the domain as an "Add-On Domain" (Not a "subdomain" – there are separate icons for each). Let cPanel choose the name of the folder – it will take your domain name as the folder name making it easy for you to know where everything is. Once you start getting over the 20 domain mark, you'll be glad you did – I've got quite a long list to scroll down in my FTP box and they're all in alphabetical order making life easy. Oh, by the way, you can't have duplicate folders – I tried that and it caused me problems as I had one folder called Make Money for a domain, then I created a subdomain on another site and also called it Make Money – Ha! That's what you get for trying to make too much money lol!!!
Ok, kidding aside, once you get the hang of the process, it gets real easy.
2. Once the domain is added, open Fantastico from within cPanel and you'll see WordPress in the left sidebar under the Blogs subheader. Click it and you'll be asked if you want to set up an new WordPress account – YES!
3. The next panel asks you what subdomain you want WordPress to install in – in the drop down list of domains, you'll likely see your main domain on its own and all add-on domains as subdomains of the main domain plus each domain separately. Its confusing writing about it – you'll see it better when you have it in front of you. Well, click on the domain you want to install wordpress in – not one of the subdomains (unless… oh boy I won't go there as it will confuse the issue even more)
Let it install in the root directory for the domain if you want the homepage to be the blog, as it looks like:
or specify a subfolder if you want something like:
4. Enter a username, password etc and then click "Install WordPress" to let it do its thing!
Voila, you now have a basic self- hosted WordPress blog on your domain!
You'll want to tart it up a bit, by adding a nice theme, some plug-ins etc, but you can do that later. First thing you need to do now is to log-in and write your first post!
I'll go through the set-up of themes and plug-ins in my next post
