Geometric Box Bags Vol.2
Summer 2015, I took a break from New York city and went back to my hometown. I worked on the second collection of Blue Ribbon Objects' geometric box bags. The new collection is a collaboration between me and artist Maria Candanoza, founder of Objectify_139. Maria was inspired by her memory of the waiting chairs in NYC's old style laundromat stores, she came up with the moldboard and the material board. Sourcing the material in Thailand was quite an adventure, but the most challenging journey was dealing with the manufacturing process. The problems with the previous collection production all occurred during the assembly process. Therefore, minimizing the assemble process will help reduce errors and the production time. I reengineered the whole structure by using CNC machine to cut a solid piece of wood, which perfect precision. In addition, the metal angles were redesigned to cover the inner curved corners that router made. With all the advice and complaints from the factory and the suppliers, I managed to create products that are much more feasible in production. I also had the opportunity to show the product at Japan Fashion Week, International Fashion Fair, 2015 and received great feedback from customers like Takashimaya, Isetan, Lumine, and smaller retails.

I need Jesus, my need I now confess
|I need Jesus, my need I now confess;
No friend like Him in times of deep distress;
I need Jesus, the need I gladly own;
Though some may bear their load alone,
Yet I need Jesus.
|I need Jesus, I need Jesus,
I need Jesus every day;
Need Him in the sunshine hour,
Need Him when the storm-clouds low'r;
Every day along my way,
Yes, I need Jesus.
|I need Jesus, I need a friend like Him,
A friend to guide when paths of life are dim;
I need Jesus, when foes my soul assail;
Alone I know I can but fail,
So I need Jesus.
|I need Jesus, I need Him to the end;
No one like Him, He is the sinner's friend;
I need Jesus, no other friend will do;
So constant, kind, so strong and true,
Yes, I need Jesus.

I must have learned this hymn in my youth in recent days the Holy Spirit has brought this hymn to mind now in my old age here at this rest home where I am living. I must have learned the words in my youth.
Athens, TX, United States
Is there a recording of someone singing this song for sale? Or free on Youtube?
Harrisburg, PA, United States
Haven't sung this song in church in years now but I just love the chorus and it comes to me intermittently through the years. Thank You Holy Spirit for bringing it to my mind and heart!

Yes I need Him every single hour of my life. Without Him I am absolutely nothing.
Perry Hall, MD
I had sung this beloved hymn as a child and then forgot about it. The Lord brought it back to my mind last month after an interval of almost 60 years. I will soon be sharing it with our senior adult Christian fellowship, most of whom are in their 90s, and wouldn't be surprised that some of them would know it. I appreciate the humble text which expresses that without Him we are nothing. The melody is easily sung because it is mostly stepwise and has the range of one octave. Thanks to Jane Palmer Baker for her comments cited below from more than 10 years ago.
Prilly, Vaud, Switzerland
Really I need Jesus. I need Him, I want Him, I am glad He made me with wonderful plans and purposes for me and He is with me to see me through the accomplishment of His plans and Purposes for my life to the manifestation of His glory and greatness to the whole world for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it, Amen. I am glad I have Him. He is with me now and holding my hand as I write. Seek Him for He is very near to you. How soothing it is to have Him. God bless you all. Amen.

A friend of mine was walking behind my father in his home, and hearing him singing, videoed him. He was singing this song, which I had never heard before, but it was very appropriate, as my sister just went home to Heaven after more than 50 years of fighting rheumatiod arthritis. The words "no friend like Him in times of deep distress" were especially telling. Thank you for making this available!
Rowlett, Texas, United States
In my devotion and prayer this morning a deep sense of my need of Christ to live a holy life today came over me and this song came to mind. I love its message and its tune. I was happy to read the comments of the person who knows the song in Haitian Creole. My wife and I lived in Haiti for 14 years and love the people and the beautiful Creole language.
Miami, Fl, United States
This song reflects what I am going through right now. Others may think that they can carry their load alone but I need Jesus. I went to church tonight and this song was sang in Haitian creole. It is uplifting and motivating. I didn't know the lyrics in English, but in the Haitian song book, it tells you the English titles of some of the song and I look it up on line. I hope to sing it in my church this coming Sunday.
Kampala, Uganda
This song is a reflection on Christ our Lord and King. I need Jesus is so valid because without Him life would be a waste of time. He brought me up and took me as His own through grace. His love is omnipotent and He is truly the reason we all live. I encourage those that dont know Him to buy a Bible or just download some sermons and try Jesus. Your life will never be the same.

As the new intern at Zapwater Communications, I'm proud to say that interning here is a great way to gain valuable experience in the public relations industry.
Now, I've only been here a few weeks and am still going through the acclimation period, but I'm looking forward to contributing to the company and my clients. My previous internship was at a much larger agency, and I felt lost among the thousands of employees. While Zapwater is smaller, the agency provides greater access to my peers.
My eagerness to succeed grows daily, and it's comforting to know that I've got supporting co-workers who are willing to answer any questions I may have. They are all highly determined and intelligent specialists who take extreme pride in their work and I'm thankful to be associated with them.
I would recommend this company to anybody looking to intern or any company looking to gain publicity within their industry.

CakeSpy Note: When I heard a rumor that Kate Lebo of Pie-Scream (I'll tell you more about THAT soon) was headed to Iowa to judge the pie contest at the Iowa State Fair, I had a request: FIND MORE ABOUT THE DUTCH LETTER. This elusive sweet seems to be an Iowa specialty...but why? Here's Kate's report.
- "If it's almondy and crispy, it's Dutch" said Cassie Van Wyk of Jaarsma Bakery in Pella, Iowa. I'd asked her why so many of the peach pies I'd tried at the Iowa State Fair had almond extract in them. I've seen that addition in cherry pie, sure, but peach? It makes peaches taste canned! Cassie's response also applied the baked goods she was selling me: Almond Banket (pictured below), St. Nick Cookies, and what I'd driven an hour down I-163 to find, Dutch Letter Cookies.
- When Jessie Oleson found out I was going to spend two weeks in Iowa so I could judge the State Fair pie contest and spend some time baking with Beth Howard of The World Needs More Pie at the American Gothic House in Eldon, IA, she asked if I'd take on a sleuthing assignment for Cakespy. "Dutch Letters," she said. "Ever heard of them?" Nope. What did they look like? "They're S-shaped pastries. Apparently they're an Iowan specialty." The S-shape brought to mind the S-cookies my mother used to feed me when I was a small child in Southern California. She's from Iowa, so the connection isn't as far-fetched as it seems. That's how my search started with a phone call to Mom.
- "Dutch? I'm pretty sure they came from an Italian bakery." There goes my S-cookie theory, I thought. "When we moved to Washington, I couldn't find them anymore. They were the perfect snack for small kids because they were just a little sweet and soft, not crumbly or flaky, so they didn't make a mess when you snacked on them." That's my mom, Ms. Practical down to desserts. I remembered S-cookies as being about five inches high, golden brown and lemony. And the texture--Mom had that right. It would dissolve in your mouth before crumbling in your lap. But Italian? That couldn't be right. Dutch Letter Cookies are, well, Dutch.
- So I asked my mom's other sister, Gail, the one I'd be staying with in Des Moines, if she'd ever heard of Dutch Letter Cookies. "Oh sure. I have one in the freezer. But they're not called Dutch Letter Cookies. They're called Dutch Letters." Ah ha! When I got to Iowa, my quarry would be waiting for me.
- Gail's Dutch Letter had wilted in the freezer, but I could get the general idea with just a couple bites: flaky pastry stuffed with mildly-spiced sweet almond paste, studded with chunky sugar and arranged in an S-shape. Why an S? I asked Gail. "Santa? I'm not really sure."
- The day I met Beth Howard at the Iowa State Fair, it was 90 degrees in the shade but still not too hot for pork chop on a stick. While we wolfed down our snack, I told her about my Dutch Letter quest. "You have to go to Pella," she told me. "It's a Dutch community about halfway between Des Moines and Eldon, so that's perfect. Most of the bakeries there make Dutch Letters, but the Jaarsma Bakery's are the best." A couple days later, after eating mountains of almond extract-flavored peach pie, I charted a course for Pella.
- Pella has windmills. Huge windmills. Plus lots of antique shops, old European storefronts, and dutch bakeries, Jaarsma chief among them. When I walked in, I noted the white lace hats the workers wear and the fact that Jaarsma's dry goods section carries De Ruijter, a Dutch treat I've been dreaming about since I last made it my daily midnight snack during a week-long stay in Holland. De Ruijter are essentially soft chocolate sprinkles you serve on hot toast. They melt where they touch the bread but stay crunchy on top, and unlike Nutella they have no nutritional value whatsoever. I picked up a box and made my way over to a pastry case full of S-shaped stacks of Dutch Letters. "Why the S?" I asked Cassie Van Wyk. "It stands for Sinterclaus. It's also the easiest letter for our bakers to make. Way easier than E or an R." Except for I, right? I asked. "We have those too," she said, pointing toward a pyramid of boxed I-shaped pastries labeled Almond Banket. They're surprisingly heavy. "That's because they're super-stuffed with almond paste. My boss says that one Banket is the equivalent of about four Dutch letters. When I have one, I have to share it with two or three friends." Thinking of Beth and the folks that I'll soon meet in Eldon, I added one to my shopping basket.
- Cassie told me that Jaarsma is still owned by the family that opened the bakery in 1898. The owner is a direct descendent of founder Harmon Jaarsma, who brought traditional Dutch recipes with him when he emigrated from Holland. The spices they use in their Dutch Letters and other pastries are imported directly from Holland, as are their Pickwick teas, licorice, and De Ruijter. "We make our own Dutch Rusks though." Dutch Rusk? "It's a crispy, twice-baked biscuit (like zwieback or digestives) you dip in your coffee." St. Nick cookies--thin spiced crisps in windmill and other shapes--serve that purpose as well. That's how Cassie and I got on the subject of crispy almondy things. She said it's still custom in Pella to have a plate of these crisps with coffee when guests come over. I asked her if she's Dutch. "Nope, Bohemian. But I married into a very Dutch family."
- A fresh Dutch Letter tastes like a defrosted Dutch Letter times ten. It is a tidy mother's nightmare--so flaky and light that pastry shards cling to your mouth with every bite. The almond paste inside gives the pastry some heft and substance, the way De Ruijter transforms toast into dessert. The almonds are ground so finely that the only suggestion this dreamy paste was once made of crunchy nuts is its unmistakeable marzipan flavor. It reminds me of an almond croissant, but you don't have to work so hard to find the almonds hidden inside. My aunt's guess was almost right--Dutch Letters were originally baked as special treats for Sinterclaus Day (the Dutch Santa Claus Day) but at Jaarsma you can have a Dutch Letter any day of the year. Thanks to the internet, that goes for all you non-Iowan folks too. Order on Jaarsma's website and they will ship them straight to you.
- I still don't know why Iowans put almond extract in their peach pies. Could it really be just "a Dutch thing"? Gail says my grandmother uses almond extract, but we're German. She puts pineapple in her peach pies too. God knows where that idea comes from. When I asked again why all things crispy and almondy are Dutch, Cassie brought a baker from the back out to help answer my question. She smiled at me over the glow of the pastry case, shrugged and said, "it's tradition."
To order from Jaarsma, visit their website; to see more of Kate's work, visit Pie-Scream.

We all experience the aching feeling of loneliness from time to time. Whether we've just moved to a new city, lost a loved one, or are socially disconnected, we might feel lost and unable to communicate our feelings to others. Most people try to dampen these feelings with distractions such as the Internet, T.V., newspapers, or films. Or they try to keep themselves busy by interacting with friends, family, acquaintances, and even strangers. If you're feeling extremely down, or if your feelings are chronic, it is necessary to maintain social interaction and communication. Expressing our troubles to another human being can ease the burden- it even can save our lives.
What Is Loneliness?
However, if you find yourself continually distracting yourself from natural feelings of loneliness, perhaps it's time to take a look at what loneliness is, and how embracing it can help you evolve. This does not mean dwelling on your pain, judging yourself for feeling pain, or obsessing over it. It means allowing it to run its course without fighting it. By allowing our feelings to unfold naturally, we can begin to understand how and why loneliness occurs, and why we fear it. This is the only way we can begin to understand ourselves, and indeed, the human condition.
Our Feelings About Loneliness
So what kinds of feelings are we talking about? The absence of distractions leads us to face ourselves as we are- which means we must face the dark parts of our psyche that we'd rather not see. When we are with friends, or at work, or at play, we are able to hide these thoughts and feelings from ourselves more easily. We receive validation of our worth from friends, we are busy and focused completely on our work and achievements, or we are enjoying ourselves far too much to examine the processes of the mind that disturb us. But when those distractions diminish or disappear, we are suddenly left with a feeling of emptiness. In that emptiness, we are faced with our greatest fears and insecurities.
What To Do: Self-Acceptance
Truly facing your shadow self- the dark aspects of your psyche- means cultivating self-acceptance and self-love. Otherwise, we judge and criticize ourselves to the point of unbearable pain. This can only be damaging, as it will only cause us to further mask ourselves and run from self-discovery. Many people turn to meditation, spirituality, or alternative therapies such as holistic healing, in order to cultivate self-acceptance and love. Even if we just say to ourselves "I allow myself to feel this way. I am no different- no better and no worse- than anyone else", we can begin to let our emotions run their natural course.
If we accept loneliness as a human condition that cannot be avoided, we can begin to face our shadow self and grow from it. We move towards self-acceptance as we come to terms with the fact that, like everyone else, we are petty, jealous, angry, dejected, and insecure. There is nothing wrong with any of these things. Feeling jealous or angry is not a sin, but ignoring the fact that we do feel jealous and angry often leads to actions that one could term "sinful". Ultimately, a spell of loneliness can be a time of great discovery and self-acceptance, allowing us to become happier, healthier, more enlightened people.

As the blessing-turned-distraction that has become the Davis Webb saga for the Colorado football team continues without a clear conclusion, it is perhaps past time to ask the question.
Is Webb, a one-year hired gun, worth all the trouble for a program still attempting to ascend in the Pac-12 Conference? Unless Webb, a graduate transfer eligible to play immediately, reaffirms his commitment to the Buffs with black-and-gold sincerity in the coming days, the Buffs would be best served to move on.
Throughout a process that has seen Webb make an early and enthusiastic pledge to the Buffs only to schedule recruiting visits to Cal and, reportedly, Auburn, Webb has made one thing clear: This is about Davis Webb.
That is not meant as a criticism. A big-armed quarterback who threw for 5,557 yards and 46 touchdowns during his time at Texas Tech, Webb has just one season to make an impression upon scouts from the next level. It's certainly his prerogative to find the situation that best serves that desire. Of Webb's suitors — Colorado, Cal and Auburn — CU is probably the least suitable, particularly if Sefo Liufau returns to full health for his senior season.
Yet the desire to find his best fit is an approach Webb should have utilized in the first place. Just three weeks ago Webb told BuffZone.com, "I love the Buffaloes and I want to be the quarterback for the 2016 season." Apparently that love extended only so far. Two weeks later Webb visited Cal.
This is not a 17-year old high school junior trying to make a mature decision amid the tumult of recruiting chaos. This is a 21-year old senior who already has experienced all the highs and lows of major college football, from setting freshman passing records in the Big 12 Conference to winning the Holiday Bowl MVP to finding himself benched in favor of Patrick Mahomes. If Webb wanted to shop for the best fit, good for him. But that should have been his message from Day One.
For the Buffs, Webb's potential rebuff of the program comes with an air of disappointment, a wringing of hands for what could have been. That shouldn't be the case at all.
Even with a healthy Liufau, Webb would have been the most talented quarterback on the roster. Yet after his public ambivalence toward his previous commitment, Webb's first task upon his arrival would be to prove to his teammates just how much he wants to be a Buff, instead of studying the playbook and working on timing routes with his new receivers.
Moreover, in a healthy Liufau there already is a player under center who has earned the respect of the entire CU locker room. In Webb, it's easy to wonder if his reaction to a football season's inevitable adversity will be to help his teammates through the turmoil, or to make sure he continues to impress individually.
Over the course of a 12-game schedule, Webb might make the difference in one or perhaps two games in the win column. For a program still in building mode, missing those games isn't necessarily end of the world. Yet for the job security of head coach Mike MacIntyre, that disparity could be enough to make the difference between a bowl appearance and the end of his run in Boulder.
In that light, MacIntyre's continued pursuit of Webb is understandable. Webb's wishy-washy commitment to his commitment is not. The early goal at the end of the 2015 season was bowl-or-bust in 2016. That was with a redshirt freshman, Steven Montez, waiting in the wings and Liufau on crutches from a foot injury. That goal hasn't changed, and minus Webb that outlook still has improved with Liufau showing signs he will be ready to go this fall and Montez coming off a solid spring, despite his uneven showing in the spring game.
Webb's previous enthusiasm for CU spurred visions of Pac-12 upsets and the end of the Buffs' nine-year bowl drought. That can still happen. But if Webb doesn't pledge his devotion soon — for real this time — the Buffs should dismiss the quarterback saga as a quirky flirtation instead of ruing it as an opportunity lost.

MTV and Red Peak Youth surveyed post-millenials to pick a new name for the generation: the founders.
Marketers are still searching for a label for those born after 2000. This group has been referred to as Generation Z, Gen 9/11, The Net generation and the Boomlet generation. However, a new research project by MTV and Red Peak Youth, which involved 1,000 U.S. individuals aged 14 and younger, asked them what label they wanted to choose for themselves. They chose "the founders." This name highlights the propensity of this group to make sense of a society that millennials disrupted. They are craving stability. The types of messaging resonating with founders consists of powerful visuals and intimate customization. (Source: Marketing News Weekly, 12/7/15)
Periscope for marketers: five simple rules.
With marketers increasing their integration of Periscope into social media strategies, best practice concerns are on the rise. Periscope, the real-time video app, allows people to consume video content for up to 24 hours after the event. While the technology is nothing new, the simplicity and accessibility is revolutionary. Brands, large and small, can take advantage of creating live video content that has the ability to "humanize" any brand. Here are five general rules to remember if using Periscope: see if it's good for your brand (audience fit), create short/concise exclusive and engaging content, be honest but professional, promote your account and measure your results. As with all social media, be sure to actively manage engagement. (Source: Marketing News, 1/1/16)
The most important marketing decision you can make.
Most mistakes in marketing can be corrected except brand names. A name takes commitment and, once chosen, there is no going back. When launching a new brand, first decide what the offering should stand for and then incorporate that idea into the name. While this seems obvious, many companies succumb to the allure of placing their company name as the descriptor of new offerings, e.g. Sony TV or Sony smartphone. When consumers think of the brand, they should think about what value it offers. Any name that captures the advantage of the product is best. This can also include visual images like color or shape. (Source: Ad Age, 12/22/15)

Silver Wheaton and Silvercorp Face Dropping DemandA noticeable drop in worldwide manufacturing data has led to concerns regarding industrial demand for silver. The global manufacturing purchasing managers index released by JPMorgan and Markit, a closely watched indicator of world manufacturing output, fell from 50.7 in July to 50.1 in August, and is now only a small fraction above the level of 50 that is traditionally taken to mean contraction.
Read more:
In other news JP Morgan reports that COMEX registered silver inventories increased to 500 million ounces overnight...ending all worries of a silver shortage. LOL.
We warned readers that the cartel would act more and more like a caged animal as the silver manipulation nears its final end.
Too bad for JP Morgan that silver is also a monetary metal, not simply a base commodity, and that safe haven currency flows into silver by investors will more than make up for any decrease in industrial demand.

Cafe La Morte
Damian hates his boss, his doctor has just told him he's got an inoperable brain tumour, and he is about to meet the Devil when all he really wanted was coffee and a sandwich. You might say it's not his day... or it could be the best day of his life.
Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3 | Chapter 4 | Chapter 5 | Chapter 6 | Chapter 7 | Chapter 8 | Chapter 9 | Chapter 10 | Chapter 11 | Chapter 12 | Chapter 13
Chapter 1 - Coffee strong enough to wake the dead
You know how when people say their boss is an idiot, it's usually just because their manager or employer has done something recently to piss them off. I mean surely there can't be that many idiots in charge of things right? Yeah well. My boss is an idiot...
Chapter 2 - Take this job...
Luke smiled as I handed him the signed contract, and signalled for the girl in the mint dress to come on over. He introduced us. Her name was Erica. She would help me tie up any loose ends I needed to in order to move myself into the flat above the café. I could live up there as technically I wouldn't be leaving the café. That made it all easier...
Chapter 3 - Tying up loose ends
One down. A few to go. The job was done, sorted. Next up I had to get rid of my apartment. Thankfully it was not uncommon for people to meet Estate Agents in cafes. I picked up the phone. Held it for a moment. Put it back in its cradle. I knew no Estate Agents. I needed the Internet. Did the café even have it? Why the frack didn't I check!
Chapter 4 - Word gets arounds
By the time I stopped feeling sorry for myself it was getting dark outside. Erica was getting ready for the dinner and bar crowd that surely would be showing up some time soon. I was ready for a drink myself.
Chapter 5 - Settling in
My brother and Sarah had stayed until just after 8 o'clock. At which point Erica finished her shift, and Luke took up residence behind the bar. The traffic picked up around 9. Every booth was full. Others were chatting at smaller tables. I had to pinch myself to remind myself that I was actually here.
Chapter 6 - A visit from the parentals
I awoke in the morning to find the fire had long since burned itself out and there was a chill in the air. Running my hand across my forehead I vaguely remembered the events of the night before but wrote it off as a bad, wine induced dream.
Chapter 7 - Two nights down
My parents left some time after 2pm. I was left to my one devices for the moment as Erica served customers. Luke had also taken off. Things to do. He had dropped past to meet my parents and assist their transition, as he called it.
Chapter 8 - I'm definitely not a morning person
I woke in the morning in terrible pain. The adrenaline of the previous night had worn off. Every cell of my body wanted to double over, but that only made the pain worse. There was definitely something wrong with my belly.
Chapter 9 - Everyone has a weakness
I slept late through the morning. Waking only when the pain killers wore off. Erica was checking in on me every hour or so. I wasn't worried. Just angry. And La Morte was going to pay.
Chapter 10 - Why you little…
Well it turns out La Morte is really fucking stupid for a building. I had four weeks of blissful, undisturbed slumber and then last night the bitch broke the truce. I am now sitting here nursing a broken left hand.
Chapter 11 - That's the way it's gonna be
Luke sat down across from me in my favourite booth. Erica had given as both a small glass of scotch and then made herself scare. Smart girl that Erica. Across from me Luke stared at the table top, gathering his thoughts ...
Chapter 12 – So long and good-bye
I was three months in to my spell at La Morte. Sleeping like a baby. No more hellish night visits from violent apparitions. La Morte was behaving herself wonderfully. I guess she didn't count on my crazy outmatching her own. However today I woke with a different sense of dread.
Chapter 13 – It was almost never going to work anyway
When I came to, Erica and Luke were leaning over me. Apparently I had hit my head pretty bad. While I had been unconscious Luke had cleared the café, and so now it was just us three. I looked at Erica again, happy she was alive, but knowing that she had left La Morte too early....

Keep up with all of the action from Brazil and never miss a match
World Cup 2014 is only a week away, and if you're interested in keeping up and watching as many games as possible this year, one of the best ways will be to add the full schedule to your Google Calendar. For big events such as the World Cup, Google creates shareable calendars that are updated and maintained for you, letting you simply follow along and not worry about keeping up with the gritty details of every single match.
It just takes a trip to the Google Calendar website and few easy steps, and you'll be following along with all of the action from Brazil. Read along and see how it all comes together.
First, you'll have to head to the web version of Google Calendar — at calendar.google.com — to manually add the calendar (preferably on a desktop, but if you're brave you can do it on your phone). At the moment this can't be done in the Google Calendar app, sadly.
Once on the website and logged in, look in the left sidebar for an "other calendars" area with an arrow next to it. Click that arrow on the right side and click "Add by URL." This is how you can add complete calendars that have been created and managed by other people.
In the window that pops up, enter the following link into the bar:
... and hit "Add Calendar." The best part about this is that the dates and times will change according to your time zone, and if any games are changed or updated you'll see the changes reflected on your calendar automatically. You can assign a custom color to the calendar from that same left bar by clicking the arrow next to the calendar, as well as set up alerts for certain events, if you wish.
Give it a couple of minutes, and the calendar will be synced to your other devices that are set up with Google Calendar as well. To double check if your phone is syncing it, be sure to go to your calendar app of choice, and manually check for additional calendars to sync.
World Cup 2014 kicks off on June 12th with the host country Brazil playing Croatia — and now you can see that right on your phone thanks to your new World Cup 2014 calendar.

There are many different sources of homework that students can find online, including for scientific subjects such as physics. However, the quality and reliability of the sources used to find the work cannot always be guaranteed. The following provides some advice so as to help you to find the best and most reliable sources.
One possible solution, particularly if your physics homework involves writing an essay, is to look for prewritten samples can be found online. You have two choices if you choose to use this method: either you pay for the work, or you download papers that are available for free.
If you choose to use the free option then you should be aware that the quality of the work may not be so good. However, when you pay for it, it is more likely to have been written by a professional writer, ideally with experience and knowledge of physics as a subject.
If you only need smaller answers for your homework then you may wish to consider joining a science forum, particularly one that specialises in physics. You may find many experts on the subject who would be more than happy to answer any small queries that you may have about the subject. Of course, you cannot guarantee that any answers you receive will be accurate; however, it is often possible to judge how reliable the answers are that you receive based on any comments from other users.
For example, if everyone seems to provide the same answer, then it may be safe to assume that that is correct; alternatively, in the case of any disagreements, then you may have to fact check any information that you find.
There are plenty of writing agencies available online who offer professional writers for academic work. Often they will specialise in longer essays; however, most will be more than happy to accommodate any requirements you have.
As well as paying professional writers to do the work for you, you may wish to look on freelance websites to see if there any experts who would be happy to give you any tutoring. This is a great way of improving your knowledge on the subject by using a reliable source that you have found online.

Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, wearing battle dress for the first time in over a year, declared Saturday that the country's security situation was "completely stable" following a coordinated assault on the military in the troubled northern part of the Sinai Peninsula.
Wearing his old uniform, which he said he had hung up for good when he ran for president, the general-turned-politician met members of the army and delivered a televised speech to troops in Sinai, his first public comments on Wednesday's attack.
"We want all Egyptians to rest assured that the situation ... it's not enough to say it's just under control. We are saying the situation is completely stable," said el-Sissi, standing before a group of soldiers.
"What is the period we're in? Somebody tell me! What period are we in? The period of strength!"
The army said 17 soldiers and over 100 militants were killed in Wednesday's brazen attack in Sinai, although before the release of its official statement, several senior security officials from multiple branches of Egypt's forces in the area had said that scores more troops also died in the fighting.
The assault, which was claimed by an Islamic State group affiliate, lasted a whole day and was unprecedented in its size and coordination. The attack hit a string of army checkpoints and involved multiple suicide bombings and the siege of a main police station with heavy weapons.
It came after a week of bloodletting that saw Egypt's prosecutor general assassinated outside his Cairo home by a massive car bomb, and a special forces raid on an apartment that killed nine members of the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood. The Brotherhood responded by calling for a "rebellion," raising the prospect of a further uptick in violence.
The Egyptian Foreign Ministry blamed the past week's violence on the Brotherhood, which it said was not only the source of Islamic extremism, but also coordinated operations on the ground.
"All of these attacks were conducted days apart, and showed a level of sophistication and coordination that affirms the presence of organized terrorist activity perpetrated by the Muslim Brotherhood," it said in a statement to reporters on Saturday.
Egypt routinely blames the Muslim Brotherhood for violent attacks in the country.
In Sinai's Rafah, a city on the border with the Gaza Strip, a roadside bomb exploded near a civilian home Saturday, killing a child and wounding four others, security officials said. They spoke anonymously because regulations did not permit them to release the information otherwise.
Also Saturday, the Islamic State affiliate in the Sinai also said it had fired three Grad rockets at Israel a day earlier.
In a statement posted on its Twitter account, the group which calls itself the IS group's Sinai Province said it fired the rockets because Israel was supporting the Egyptian regime. It also claimed Israeli aircraft had joined Egyptian warplanes in bombing its fighters.
Israel's military said the rocket was fired into southern Israel on Friday afternoon, hitting an open field but causing no damage or injuries. Egyptian military and security officials in Sinai have denied any rockets were fired from the restive peninsula.
Combat operations continued in the area late Friday, with the Egyptian army saying Apache attack helicopters fired missiles at groups of extremists, killing 10 of them.

"At the moment… it is often enshrined across legislation, in mental health law…that the psychiatrist has the determining role in whether someone is incarcerated etc … that should not be the case.. we do not have the knowledge to justify that…" (Pat Bracken – Progressive Irish Psychiatrist)
The primary function of this blog is to expose the dangers of GlaxoSmithKline's defective SSRI anti-depressant "Seroxat", yet often I like to bring attention to the dangers and deception of psychiatry and other things.
I am a big believer in advocacy, I believe in free-speech, truth and freedom of expression, therefore, naturally I have been following the recent "Pussy Riot" trial in Russia. For those of you that don't know, "Pussy Riot" were an obscure feminist punk band who were recently jailed for protesting in Moscow's main orthodox church. Through their brave act of defying Putin's corrupt regime, almost overnight- they have become a global phenomenon and the poster-girls for post-modern revolutionary acts.
Human rights groups around the world, and many celebrities, such as Madonna and Sir Paul McCartney, have condemned the Russian authorities for what they believe to be a grave travesty of justice. I agree with them: "Pussy Riot" challenged the status quo, they dared to speak out, they dared to act.
All they are guilty of is: courage, ethical conviction and absolute bravery; noble and rare human qualities – which should be cherished and encouraged – not criminalized.
Anyhow, so I have been following this trial in the media, and I noticed psychiatrists and psychiatric reports were involved for the prosecuting side in their corrupt kangaroo court. Psychiatric evaluations, diagnoses and court reports were used in order to build a a case of (politically-motivated) condemnation, and justification for imprisonment, of the three Women:
From the Moscow Times:
Moreover, it is obvious that the man who defiled the Nevinnomyssk cathedral was mentally unbalanced. Interestingly enough, Judge Syrova tried to prove the same thing about the Pussy Riot members. She cited conclusions from the prosecution's psychological and psychiatric report that the three women suffered from "personality disorders" and thus should be isolated from society. Notably, the experts did not appear in court and could not be questioned by the defense.
This is how the psychiatrists described the defendants' supposed disorders: Nadezhda Tolokonnikova shows signs of "an active life position … and a tendency to express her opinions categorically"; Yekaterina Samutsevich suffers from "obstinacy, decisiveness and a tendency toward oppositional forms of behavior during conflicts, along with subjectivist and vigilant character traits"; and Maria Alyokhina shows signs of "demonstrative, overrated self-opinion."
Read more:http://www.themoscowtimes.com/opinion/article/why-the-pussy-riot-judge-hid-her-face/467052.html#ixzz24QGXHQyo
For those that wish to understand how psychiatry has elevated itself to this inhumane status of power, please watch this informative, inspiring and enlightening lecture by progressive Irish psychiatrist Pat Bracken. Pat Bracken has long been drawing attention to the dangers and deceptions of his own profession for a long time. Pat Bracken is also a brave and courageous man whom dares to challenge the status quo, and like "Pussy Riot", and all other seekers of freedom and truth, he should be commended and applauded both for his sincerity and honesty, but ultimately for his unwavering humanity.

Quite often many people repent when they get misspelled tattoos done on them. There are many who decide to get a tattoo under the influence of alcohol and their tattoos are often misspelled.
The other reason for misspelled tattoos could be that the staff at the tattoo parlor might not be that professional enough to get the job done.
We undergo a lot of pain when we get a tattoo done for ourselves. So we should make sure that our efforts are not wasted. Ask yourself over and over whether you really need this tattoo. If you decided to get yourself inked make sure that you have a design of the tattoo on your mind. It will be better if you could carry some pictures of the tattoo to the parlor so that the professional can have a look at the design to get it exact and correct.

Counselling – Suleiman's story – A step into the light
Like many refugees, Suleiman* fled his home country in north east Africa in fear of his life. Also in common with many others, he made a long and difficult journey to Australia, ultimately to arrive at the doors of Foundation House in Melbourne.
However, though refugee stories may have many aspects in common, Foundation House recognises clients as individuals beyond the circumstances of being a refugee. In Suleiman's case, the difficulties of his journey were compounded by childhood traumas, and issues of gender and sexuality.
Suleiman had a difficult early life . 'I am born like this. My mum, she looks all the time like she understands me,' he said. 'My dad, he's a strong man, a religion man, I have a problem with him. The imam, I have big problems with him.
When I went to High School, I have phobias, I can't believe people. I go to school, then straight to my home.'
Political and personal persecution intersected when he was a young adult, and police tried to coerce him into reporting on local gay people. 'They say, if everyone know you are gay, you have big problem, you are blacklisted. I said, I can't, I don't have information about this. They said, you are not right, you are bad.'
Political turmoil was also increasing in his home country until he feared for his life. 'I have one friend, he gave me passport, he told me maybe you die, you can't live your life here. He told me to go Cairo, maybe you can save your life.'
He went to Cairo in 2003 and was processed by the UNHCR as a political refugee. He found work with people with disabilities. Life in Cairo was still not easy, though, and he was beaten and robbed more than once. He was threatened with death on three different occasions. He found it even harder to understand this continuing persecution. 'There are more people in Cairo who were gay, wearing clothes of a woman…I think, why [persecute] me? Maybe because I am black. Maybe because I seem weak. I am all the time crying. They take my money, three times they take my phone.' He became fearful of going outside. ' I have bad heart, depression, not believe myself, not looking for job.'
Fortunately Suleiman found a sympathetic doctor in Cairo, and with his assistance he came to Australia in 2012.
Though things were better, it has been difficult for Suleiman to find a place where he feels safe and comfortable to settle. Housemates were not necessarily sympathetic. 'They give me a hard time. They say, Africans are not gay! Even if I not tell them I am gay I cannot be myself.'
Suleiman was referred by his doctor to Foundation House last year, and saw Counsellor Advocate Carolyn Wilson. He also had access to a Foundation House psychologist, and to massage and natural therapies.
'Carolyn, she listens to me, give me hopes, solves many problems. One year ago, if I saw people talking, I am thinking, he's talking about me. I have bad dreams.
'It has really changed my life. My bad dreams – 90% gone. Depression, going. Stress, going. My studies – I was always forgetting, can't keep it in my head. Now I save all my information.'
He still has not found a permanent place to stay, and currently shifts around various homeless accommodations. But despite his hardships, he feels more able to cope. 'It is hard to make friends, because I am homeless. But now I have hope. If I have a problem, I can fix this, I am not running away, not crying. My life has changed. I feel like I am born a new person.'
Suleiman wanted to share the importance of talking to someone when you are struggling.
'A doctor, a psychologist can help you with your problems if you give them a chance,' he said. 'If you keep silent, if you do not give him chance, if you stay alone, if you cry, it is not good. If you go step by step, tell him all your suffering, they help you.
But if you don't tell, they can't help you.
'A person has problems, he needs one person to take his hand, from the dark, and he is in the light.'

How to Lose Belly Fat in 1 Week
With an important event coming up, you may want to get rid of your belly fat in one week. While it's impossible to lose a lot of fat in just one week, you can lose water weight, which will reduce bloating and the appearance of fat in your belly. Long-term fat loss requires a commitment, but if you need a short-term solution, be strict in your diet and exercise to reach your goals.
Eliminate salt from your diet. Salt is one of the biggest culprits in water retention. The more salt you eat, the more water you retain, making your belly look fatter than it really is. Stop adding salt to your food and read nutrition labels to look for sodium content. Avoid convenience foods, which are often high in salt.
Drink water throughout the day. Drinking water serves two purposes -- it helps reduce your appetite and helps avoid water retention. Refill your water bottle throughout the day.
Base your meals and snacks on vegetables. Vegetables are low in calories, but can keep you full longer due to their high fiber content. While fruits also make a good snack, vegetables have fewer calories, so choose veggies over fruits. Eat large salads with low-calorie dressing and pile your plate with veggies at every meal.
Limit refined carbohydrates and junk foods. If you want to lose belly fat in one week, you shouldn't eat junk foods. In addition to having unnecessary salt, they also offer empty calories, which don't fill you up. Stick to whole grains, such as brown rice and whole wheat pasta, or avoid grains altogether.
Exercise every day. A week is a short time, so commit to strenuous exercise to reach your goal. An hour of intense cardio will help you burn calories and sweat out some of your water. Just be sure to drink water to replace what comes out in the sweat or your body will be dehydrated. You'll also want to work on your ab muscles, which will help you stand taller and look slimmer. Do exercises that focus on each area of the abs -- upper, lower and obliques.
Wear supportive undergarments on your big day. A week really isn't enough time to notice significant changes in your belly fat. However, by combining the suggestions above with underwear designed to shape your figure, you'll see better results.

Coffee Cupcakes with Vanilla Frosting
I found these little silicone cupcake cases in poundland! I felt the need to create a hot-drink inspired cupcake to go with them!
Coffee Cake (Makes 6)
1 egg
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup milk
3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp instant coffee, dissolved in a little hot water.
Sift dry ingredients, then combine with wet ingredients. Whisk until smooth (don't overmix!). Fill containers 3/4 full and bake at 180 degrees for approx 20 minutes until browned.
For frosting;
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract (don't use essence!)
Lots of icing sugar (I never measure mine - just add enough until the frosting holds its shape!)
I also then dusted the top with hot chocolate to make a cappachino!

Reading Pays Off!
Post date:
Tue, November 4, 2014
Second Grade students at High Point Elementary have been "Busy Bees" with reading this year! In fact, the grade level total is already close to 12,000,000 words!
Students have individual weekly goals that were set by the teacher as well as goals for the nine-week grading period. Second-graders were rewarded with a popcorn and movie, and will also be rewarded with a dessert celebration with the Principal. Students and teachers alike are also looking forward to "Storybook Character Day" on Halloween. The day will be dedicated to reading our favorite books and stories, as well as dressing up as a favorite book character. Students are seeing these weekly goals adding up as they climb higher and higher up the reading ladder toward becoming Million-Word Readers!

N.W.A. Alumnus and Hip-Hop DJ/Rapper/Producer Arabian Prince Relies on Reason for Music and Video Game Production
N.W.A. Alumnus and Hip-Hop DJ/Rapper/Producer Arabian Prince Relies on Reason for Music and Video Game Production
Portability On-The-Fly Enhances Creativity Anytime, Anywhere
Stockholm, Sweden (October 30, 2008) – N.W.A. alumnus, Arabian Prince (AP=X), has expanded his music work into video game production, working with 20th Century Fox and Vivendi Universal Games to create music and effects for over 50 game titles. A producer, rapper and DJ since the early 80s, he began recording his own tracks in the early 80s, and co-produced Bobby Jimmy & the Critters as well as doing live dates with the Egyptian Lover, World Class Wreckin' Cru and the L.A. Dream Team. Early work with Dr. Dre and N.W.A. for 1988's Straight Outta Compton earned him a solid reputation (the CD was named as one of the top 50 greatest albums of all time by Rolling Stone and Billboard magazines), and led to work with other artists like Unknown DJ, Ice-T, Egyptian Lover, The Taylor Brothers, DJ Pooh, DJ Slip and others. Over the past several years Reason has virtually replaced his vast array of MIDI analog gear, seeing use on a multitude of music projects including the forthcoming Professor X project on the Dutch label, Clone Records.
AP=X and friend, DJ Unknown, caught Propellerhead's James Bernard giving a Reason tutorial at a NAMM show several years ago and were intrigued. "We were watching the demo," he remembers. "We were saying, 'Yeah this is just like all the other software, great in a demo but when you get it home you got to read a phonebook manual to get it up to speed, and be a rocket scientist to program a sound.' Being the music critics that we are, we attacked James at the first available moment, trying to poke holes in Reason… Well, as you can see—5 years later—it didn't work out as planned!"
Reason's intuitiveness and ease of use in the studio was a key factor for AP=X in switching over from hardware, not to mention the fact that he was able to slim down his rig from six to eight synths and three drum machines, to a laptop and MIDI controller. Most of the sounds were just as good or better in Reason," he recalls. "I use a Roland MC-808 drum machine a lot, and it has no way of saving tons of songs. In Reason, the ReDrum is unlimited and sounds just like my 808. Also, you can ReWire Reason to most other software if needed, which really opens up what you can do with it. I also like the fact that there is unlimited sampling. I use a lot of my own sounds from my old analog gear, so I need a lot of sampling power to capture those sounds. And layering in Reason is a breeze."
As an artist who is often on the go, Reason's portability is probably one of the biggest advantages for AP=X. Not only does it enhance his creativity on-the-fly, but allows him to work anytime, anywhere. "Reason has become an extension of my brain," he laughs. "For the first time since the MIDI era, I have been able to work on my ideas and my music anywhere—on the road, in hotels, on the airplane… Even if I get a quick idea while driving, I sometimes pull over, grab the laptop and bang out a beat and a hook really quick. This allows me to be more creative, and as we all know, we really have no control over when that happens. Back in the day, I had to wait 'til I got back to the studio, turn on all my gear, set up my MIDI clock and sequencer, and patch everything in before I could even get a sound!"
He's also beginning to integrate Reason into his live DJ setup, switching up between vinyl and digital—and remixing older material in Reason for use in his performances as well.
So, what's in His Reason rack? "Two or three ReDrums and a lot of NN-XT's".

The chief executive of Juniper Networks, Kevin Johnson has announced he is stepping down on the same day the network-gear company hit its second quarter targets.
The CEO will retire after five years in the role once a replacement is found, it was announced yesterday. The exact reason for the boss' departure from the Californian company has not been revealed.
However, Johnson did say, the company was entering "a fresh cycle of customer investments" for cloud computing and the mobile Internet, making this "a good time to transition to new leadership and drive the next phase of Juniper's growth."
The company, which is best known for its switching and routing hardware, has hired Heidrick and Struggles, an executive recruiting firm, to assist a search committee in finding a replacement.
The news comes as the network security provider exceeded analyst predictions when it reported a second quarter (April to June) net income of $98 million (£63.8m), with profits up 70 per cent year-on-year.
The company said demand was strong in key markets and there were signs of improvement in the network-security business.
The company has launched a number of new products in recent months including software-defined networking products for service providers.
Johnson said: "We continue to see signs of strength in our key markets and we are confident in our routing and switching portfolio.
"We are also seeing early signs of improving security demand. As we drive innovation to differentiate across our product portfolio, we continue to deliver revenue growth and stay focused on executing with agility to drive value for all our stakeholders."

The October 24 meeting of the RASC Mississauga Centre will feature a talk on OSIRIS-REx mission to an asteroid.
Talk Title: Near-Earth Asteroid Bennu and the OSIRIS-REx Sample Return Mission
Speaker: Dr Amy Shaw, York University
This talk will focus on the OSIRIS-REx mission and its target, the near-earth potentially hazardous asteroid Bennu. The mission will launch in 2016, spend two years en route to Bennu, and then spend over a year studying the asteroid and choosing a spot from which to grab powdery asteroid surface material, which it will then bring back to Earth. Various components of the spacecraft, including science instruments, are now undergoing design and construction. Canada is providing the laser altimeter for the mission; this laser ranging instrument will be used to map asteroid reflectivity as well as asteroid shape. The talk will cover some key points about the mission and its objectives, the mission target asteroid, and the OSIRIS-REx suite of science instruments.
Amy Shaw is a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Earth and Space Science and Engineering at York University in Toronto. She has a PhD in Earth and Planetary Sciences from Washington University in Saint Louis and a BA in Physics from Cornell University. She has worked on the Mars Exploration Rovers, CRISM, Phoenix, and Deep Impact space missions. Amy is currently conducting laboratory measurements on minerals found in meteorites that are thought to come from asteroids similar to Bennu, the target of the OSIRIS-REx mission.
The meeting will be held from 8:00 to 10:00 p.m. at The University of Toronto,Mississauga Campus, in lecture hall SE2082 in the William Davis Building. The meeting is open to the public and is free.

Here at Foote Family Dental we never use metal or amalgam fillings. Instead, we use beautiful natural looking white fillings that are completely mercury free, safe, aesthetically pleasing, and durable.
We believe in promoting good dental health in as many ways as we can, and that is why we believe that removing old mercury dental fillings should be a top priority for the health of our patients.

The first BJP government in Haryana is only reversing decisions of the previous government and changing names of old and announced schemes and projects and presenting them as new ones, former Haryana chief minister and senior Congress leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda has said."Their (BJP government) performance sheet is blank. I cannot give marks less than zero. But that is what they deserve," Hooda told IANS in an interview here when asked to assess the performance of the nine-month old Manohar Lal Khattar government in the state.Hooda, who was chief minister of Haryana from March 2005 to October 2014 (two terms), said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) made tall promises to Haryana's electorate but has failed to implement even a single one of them."They made 154 promises before the elections (last year). They have not fulfilled even one of them. I come from a political family and have seen governments change in the state. But I have never seen people getting disenchanted by the government whom, they elected, so fast," Hooda, 67, said."This (Khattar) government is only reversing the decisions taken by my government. It is also just changing names of our schemes and projects and giving them new names. They are not doing any work. They are only giving slogans. Their own achievement is nil," he said.Hooda claimed that the SPAT (sports physical aptitude test) was now renamed as Speed by the Khattar government while the 'Ladli' scheme for girls' education was now renamed as 'Beti Bachao-Beti Padhao'. He said that highway projects announced and planned during his government had now been announced again by the BJP government and foundation stones were laid recently.
"Our decisions, especially in the social welfare sector, have been reversed. The old age and widow pension have been reduced. The state's share in compensation for farmers for crop loss has been reduced. Urea and fertilizer was distributed in police stations. The biggest scam is in the girdawri (crop loss assessment by revenue department) where there are instructions to show less loss," Hooda pointed out."The only decision that this (Khattar) government has not reversed is our decision to hold assembly elections. They should reverse that also and seek fresh elections. The people will tell them where they (BJP) stand," Hooda said."All I want to ask this government is to tell us when will they start working. They should give us a definite date for this. This government is completely directionless," he said.Hooda, in whose regime the BJP alleged that prime land worth billions of rupees was given to private developers and builders, said that he and his government had done nothing wrong on the land issue.
"They have set up an inquiry commission on this. We have not done anything wrong. All licences and allotments were as per the policy. We have not given even an inch of land to developers after acquiring it. They have purchased the land on their own. Those deals are between private parties and the government had no role. We have nothing to worry," Hooda claimed.The former chief minister, who was accused of showering favours on land deals to Congress president Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra, said: "The inquiry commission is a political vendetta. Just because someone is related to a well known family does not mean that you will get after him. Licences were granted in governments even before our government. Why doesn't the BJP order a probe into all licences being granted," Hooda asked.

Harassing, Threatening, Phishing, Social Engineering or abusive telephone calls should be reported to the campus Police Department.
A formal complaint must be filed with the campus police before the Department of Telecommunications can become involved.
Once a complaint is filed, the campus police will notify the Department of Telecommunications of the situation. Specific action will be coordinated with the campus police and the recipient of the calls. All caller identification information will be supplied directly to the campus police for appropriate action.
