401k's are one of the most common retirement vehicles used by American workers. With the decline in company pensions, Americans have become dependent on 401k retirement savings to fund the majority of retirement needs. As a result, often these balances can grow substantially, as you prepare for retirement.
USING A 401k LOAN TO PAY OFF DEBT
These accounts might also be a resource for a loan, as most 401k's offer a loan option. When looking for relief from high interest rate credit card debt, consider all of your options before raiding your retirement funds. If you have other resources like an equity line of credit or a second mortgage, these might be better suited to provide debt relief. Unlike loans against your home, where the interest is tax deductible, 401k loans do not offer any tax benefits and can come with tax penalties.
Another factor to consider is that you are withdrawing pretax funds and paying back the loan with after tax dollars, which will then be taxed again when it is withdrawn at retirement. While the interest rate on the loan may be low, the tax implications add to the overall costs. Payments are generally deducted from each paycheck and must be paid in full over a maximum of 5 years. You will need to reduce your debt enough to cover these weekly, bi-monthly or monthly payments. Also consider that any withdrawal will remove invested funds and during the payback period, this amount will no longer be growing in value to fund your retirement.
Job security is one of the biggest considerations when deciding to take a 401k loan. If you are laid off or leave your employment for any reason, the loan must be paid back in 60 days. Any outstanding balance after 60 days is considered a distribution. If you are under 59½, this could result in both taxation and a 10% penalty when you file your taxes. The loan amount will be considered income and can significantly impact your tax bill. Failing to make payments on time can also result in the loan being considered a withdrawal and have the same penalties and taxation as leaving your job.
To learn more about the 401k loan option meet with the 401k administrator to determine eligibility. Our specialists at Financial Solutions can help you evaluate this option to determine if it is the best option for your circumstances.
- These loans carry low interest rates, but you are paying yourself the interest.
- Access to funds is generally available in a few days.
- No credit income requirements.
- Simple application process.
- Loan proceeds are received as pre-tax dollars.
- If you lose your job, the loan has to be repaid in 60 days or taxed as an early distribution.
- Non- payment on the loan for 90 days will revert the loan to an early distribution.
- Reducing your 401k Balance may reduce your interest income.
- Loan proceeds are paid back with after tax dollars.
BENEFITS OF A 401k LOAN
- Can Borrow Up To 50% Of The Account Balance For A Maximum Loan Of $50,000.
- Loan Is Not Credit Dependent And Has Very Few Factors For Qualification.
- Fast Approval Process.
- Low Interest Rates.
- You Are Paying Yourself Interest, Making Your Return On Your Money The Interest Paid On The Account.
- Low Fees. The 401k Administrator Determines The Fees For Managing The Loan, But These Are Generally Low.
- Payback Is Accomplished Through Automatic Payroll Deductions With A Payment Made On Each Pay Period.
CHALLENGES WITH A 401k LOAN
- Payback Must Be Completed In A Maximum Of 5 Years.
- Failure To Make A Payment For 90 Days Will Result In The Loan Being Considered A Distribution By The Irs And Result In Taxation Of The Loan Amount And Possible Penalties.
- Automatic Payments Can Create A Financial Challenge, Which Could Result In Acquiring More Debt.

Employment Practices Liability Insurnace (EPLI)
Your EPLI policy is probably more likely to trigger than any other type of insurance policy - this is especially true for small businesses.
Employment practices liability insurance (EPLI) is one of the most talked about types of insurance - for a good reason.
EPLI claims are causing devistating financial damages to employers of all sizes.
EPLI covers claims that result from things like:
- Wrongful termination
- Failure to hire
- Failure to promote
- Sexual Harassment
- Hostile Work Environment
EPLI may also include a sublimit for wage and hour claims. This sublimit covers attorney costs (up to a specified limit) for claims that result from:
- Failure to provide lunch breaks
- Failure to pay overtime
Wage and hour sublimits do not cover restitution to employees.
It's often stated that an EPLI claims costs a minimum of $50k just to get to court. Once the case is taken to court, the amount increases significantly.
Transfer your risk to an insurance carrier. A policy will be tailored to your business.
Request a proposal below.
if you do not have employment practices liability insurance (EPLI) we strongly recommend that you consider purchasing a policy.

QU M, AHPONEN PL, TAHVANAINEN L, GRITTEN D, MOLA-YUDEGO B, PELKONEN P. 2011. Chinese university students' knowledge and attitudes regarding forest bio-energy. Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews 15(8): 3649–3657.
The present study examines Chinese university students' attitudes and knowledge regarding energy, specifically towards forest bio-energy in their country. The study was based on opinions of students from Northwest Agriculture and Forestry University (NWAFU) in China and it was conducted using a questionnaire completed by 441 students. The students' attitudes are seen as highly relevant because they are considered as both potential consumers and possible experts in the field of bio-energy. Their activities influence how the future energy markets will likely develop. The results revealed various interesting facets of the students' views regarding energy usage. Of particular interest is the students' positive attitude towards renewable energy in general, but slightly less positive towards forest bio-energy. However, the respondents expected to receive more information and knowledge about renewable energy and forest bio-energy. Moreover, it can be concluded that the dissemination of knowledge through different sources (e.g. teaching in school, information available on the Internet and other media channels) is an increasingly important aspect regarding energy issues. The results of this study can provide information of the perceptions of young educated people on energy policy issues and thus serve political decision-making processes for the future options concerning the development of forest bio-energy in China. Finally, the outcome of this study indicates that further environmental and energy education in China is urgently needed.

The head of the Kurdish Foreign Relations Department Falah Mustafa, Erbil Governor Nawzad Hadi, and Young Kyu Park, General Consul of the Republic of Korea, among others, attended the event.
The day-long event on December 1st 2018 included a talent show for the youths in the Kurdistan Region to showcase their talents in music, arts, and popular dancing.
A Taekwondo team from Erbil also performed on the stage where they showcased the Kurdish and Korean flags side by side, indicating the friendship between the two nations.

The visitors had the chance to experience the Korean culture with some of the volunteers wearing traditional clothes, face painting of the Kurdish and Korean flags, Korean food and traditional and modern Korean music.
A section designed to give the visitors the chance to dance to the Korean music attracted many of the youths throughout the day, making it one of the most popular events on the day.

Okay, maybe the finger puppet thing has gotten out of hand, so to speak. Perhaps I've come unraveled, as it were. Confusing fantasy and reality.
For those new to this blog, my finger puppet family was born a couple of years ago when my own kids gave me grief about posing for a family photo. You can read the original post here. Since then, my finger puppets have traveled the globe, documenting their adventures on Instagram under the hashtag #knittedtogetherforever.
If I'm posing with my finger puppet at a tennis tournament, or atop a mountain in Yosemite, I don't think it's much of a leap to make Halloween costumes for my finger puppet kids.Read More

The association "FC PlayFair! committed to the campaign for integrity in professional football (soccer) has applied to UNESCO to declare "football fan culture" as an intangible Cultural Heritage.
Anyone who has followed German football with any real interest over the past few months will know that fans are becoming increasingly disgruntled. The "Krieg dem DFB" banners have been followed by months of songs and banners about the governing body in Germany, as fans feel they are being pushed further and further away from their beloved clubs. Whether it be stadium bans, talk of a Pokal final in China or Regionalliga reform – it is clear fans feel threatened.
FC PlayFair! is aiming to keep the fans informed, involved and ensure that their gripes and problems are addressed. Their recent survey was an incredible piece of work, and one which comes wholeheartedly recommended for anyone who wishes to see how fans feel with the current situation. The FC PlayFair team have outlined below how they believe this application to UNESCO will help fans, and everyone within the game we all love, to recognise fan culture.
Claus Vogt, founder and President of the association FC PlayFair! comments: "We asked ourselves: Who does football belong to? Does it even belong to anyone? And if it does, does it not also belong to the fans that go to the stadiums?" With the application to UNESCO, FC PlayFair! is hoping to raise social awareness that football may not become the plaything of large associations and investors. So the motion makes it quite clear that "the protective role by the admission onto the UNESCO's World Heritage List would demonstrate that football does not only belong to the associations and investors but basically belongs to anyone impassioned by it in an active or passive way."
Bernd Sautter has been responsible for the "project UNESCO" at FC PlayFair! The ardent "groundhopper" and author has gotten to know various fan cultures all over the world. He emphasizes: "Important and worth protecting in fan culture are those who really live it. We would like to thank these people. Oftentimes they are not organized in associations or clubs, but their passion shows itself in great accomplishments and creativity, week after week, which has become an entire form of culture. Actually, the question about what fan culture achieves, has become a prevailing topic. Recently, it has been widely discussed, which components in Germany can be subsumed under the concept of "Heimat" ("home").
Since I am socialized in the "football world" I must notice that I know many people, for whom being a football fan and the stadium have become a home. They identify with the club and its fan culture."
In May of this year, FC PlayFair! published "Situation analysis of professional football 2017". In the so far largest scientific research on the subject, a survey was conducted in association with kicker sports magazine questioning 17 330 soccer fans of all clubs (first and second league) concerning problems in professional football. The result being that a majority considered the "primary aspiration" of professional football clubs, operatives, players and advisers in attaining more money, a main problem. Also, over 83% of all respondents warned the professional football leagues about distancing themselves even more from their fans.
Prof. Dr. André Bühler is co-founder of FC PlayFair! He conducted the survey "Situation analysis in professional football 2017" at the German Institute of Sports Marketing.
He says: "The conclusion of our study is the very basis for our application at UNESCO.
We are not at all against commercialization- on the contrary- a healthy economic approach is essential to football. However, it must not be taken to an extreme and the fans must not fall by the wayside as a result, because football does not work without its fans."
The Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage was passed on October 17, 2003 by the UNESCO General Conference. It entered into force in April 2006. The convention emphasizes the interdependency between the tangible and intangible cultural and natural heritage. It complements the UNESCO Convention on the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage of 1972. At the same time, it accentuates the special character of the intangible cultural heritage, which, in contrast to the tangible heritage is "alive" and therefore is less stable and prone to social transformational processes.
About FC PlayFair!
"FCPlayFair! Association for integrity in professional football" e.V was founded in January 2017 by family entrepreneur Claus Vogt and sports manager Prof. Dr. André Bühler, in order to identify urgent problems and provide solution approaches in light of the increasing commercialization in professional football in Germany and elsewhere. The members of FC PlayFair! love soccer and are supporters of different clubs. They support their clubs from business seats and stands as well. FC PlayFair! strictly works across the borders of football club interests. Find out more at www.fcplayfair.org.

Why do so many of us bow down to our fears? Most of us will get up early, get dressed, go to work for someone else and come home feeling empty because of it.
Or, some of us will give up our career to stay at home with the kids, all while dealing with that missing piece of your professional life that you miss so badly.
Leaving the Corporate Life to Work From Home
Like most people, you probably dread going into the office every day, fighting traffic, dropping your kids off at before school care, counting the hours until it's 5pm so you can do it all over again in reverse. Your company has instilled some level of fear in you that you could lose your job at any point, so you better perform. Some are lucky, thought, and have a great team and a great boss who motivates, gives you freedom to work the way you work best, and have supportive colleagues that are fun to have lunch and shoot the breeze with! But, when your day is over, you don't go home feeling fulfilled, rather you feel lucky to have a job and income.
In my opinion, one is not better than the other! I learned the hard way that life is way too short to spend 60% of my week somewhere I didn't want to be. Not only did I not want to be there personally, but "being there", meant I was NOT there when my kids needed me.
Now, when I made this leap of faith, there was more than just unhappiness at my job that pushed me. Life happened. But I do know that the fear was there. Resigning from my very well paying, professional position in corporate IT felt like I was stepping off a cliff. I was pretty much scared of everything. Fear of losing savings, fear of going broke, fear of making a fool of myself….the list goes on.
3 Ways to Get Through the Jump
In the almost 3 years I've been working from home, I've learned a few things about the ups and downs of this decision I made such a short time ago:
- Get over it:
I talked about the fear of leaving my corporate job on Facebook Live this morning with my new friend Sheila. I am not telling you to go and quit your job willy-nilly. You have to have a strategy in place, and a plan for money. I'm not that big of a dreamer. When I made my decision it was a full 3 months before I walked out of my office for the last time. We also saved my whole paycheck for those 3 months and figured out that where the money was going. What did this teach us? That most of this 2nd income was being wasted. We did fine on the one income! However, taking that leap of faith is just that – a leap of faith. I knew with my whole heart that this is what God's plan was for me and he has provided for our family every since.
- Meet people
My journey started first with meeting Meredith. She was my mentor for almost a year showing me some of the ropes of the online marketing game. We quickly became friends and decided to go into business together. Meeting someone like-minded with the same goals and dreams made the journey that much easier. As family duties changed and more time opens up I am getting out in my own community by joining networking groups and other social gatherings. It helps to know people in ALL things!
- Learn new skills
The online and social media marketing world came easy to me. I really enjoy technology. Obviously…..I have been working in information technology and software development and support for almost 20 years. I have a knack for learning and teaching people how to use tools. So, the past 3 years I have been learning how to do things in online marketing every day! There are experts out there that I have followed and kept up with that introduce things to me each day. Just like my corporate job paid for me to attend trainings for my job position, I have invested money in some of their courses for the good stuff and will give the same advice; Read books and blogs, (like this one!!) take online courses and find mentors/coaches who will help you through the tough times.
There you have it! These are the main ways that I made my leap of faith from suit to sweats. Believe me, it has not been an easy road, but I can wholeheartedly tell you that it has been the most rewarding time in my career and personal life.
What about you? Have you made that leap to work from home and take back your time?

New Perspectives on Erotica, Love and Humor in Arabia
Last weekend I finally started reading "Erotica, Love and Humor in Arabia", the new book by historian, musician, and my dear friend Dr. George Sawa. It's a collection of translated stories and poems from 'The Book of Songs' by al-Isfahani, written in the 10th century. "What?!", you would ask me, "how could a historical book about such topic be related to Arabian culture?"
When we think about sensuality and sexuality in Arab societies, the first things that may come to mind are images from the Arabian Nights with their harem stories and the main heroine Scheherazade. At the same time, we may fall into the trap of feeling guilty of applying orientalist connotations to a very conservative culture that has nothing to do with Western exotic fantasies about harems and odalisques. But is it really so, or is it just a one-sided view on the subject?
The book perfectly challenges stereotypes and impressions regarding how we label cultures as conservative or open, as well as shows how differently we express ourselves about love and sexual relationships. The hilarious, embarrassing and heartbreaking content of the book, as described by author himself, has both entertainment and educational goals.
Dr. George Sawa has grouped translations into different chapters according to the main theme of each story, and, honestly… one could not avoid but blushing while reading even the table of contents, not to mention the actual stories. It's truly shocking in its straightforwardness: penis and vagina, sexual acts, erectile dysfunction, big ass, small ass, homosexuality, etc. From the very first page you realize that it is very different from everything you might have read before on this subject, or might have expected to read. For instance, the excerpt "Make my pants my necklace, and stick my anklet to my earring" would more likely evoke images of the Kamasutra, rather than a historical text from Arabia.
The original text is based on a collection of oral and written stories that pictured the life and thoughts of poets and musicians of early Islamic societies in Mecca, Medina, Baghdad and Damascus. All stories and poems depict a very open-minded society that was not ashamed to talk about sex, praise male and female bodies in poetry and songs, as well as treat women as equal to men in their rights to openly express sexual desires. What impressed me the most is that al-Isfahani was actually sponsored by the government, where the vizier asked him to create a comprehensive account of artists' lives at those times, including these spicy stories.
The book contains not only provocative anecdotes directly related to sexual acts, but a lot of romantic, flirtatious and heartbreaking love poems as well. Those stories show all the richness and creativity of language and spoken craft of that time. Some are very metaphorical, others are more literal in expressing desire or longing. All together they give some understanding of what would later become inspiration for the Arabian Nights, or even for more recent dramatic lyrics of classic songs performed by Um Kalsoum, Warda, Farid El Atrash, and other singers of the 20th century Golden Era.
To me as a dancer, the novelty of the stories captured in "Erotica, Love and Humor in Arabia" is a completely different prospective on what we consider conservative or open-minded societies. Real culture is much more fluid, complex and nuanced, not fitting into any one-word label.

You are the main character in your life's drama; it's up to you to decide which part you want to play. You can choose to be the hero or you can choose to be the victim.
We start our lives by being pushed, pressed and fighting to get out of a narrow space. For the rest of our lives, we find ourselves in more narrow spaces that we must fight to get through, but we keep at it until we persevere. It is by overcoming these narrow places in our lives that we free ourselves from tunnel vision and become heroic survivors of our own life voyage.
When we get stuck in a narrow place, we stay there because of fear. Fear keeps us from making the journey. It keeps us stuck or makes us frantic, disabling us from taking the path of growth and well being. By letting fear take control of how you make decisions, you are no longer choosing your own trail.
Life is a journey of discovery, not certainty, and the best way to make it is simply to take it. A heroic journey is when you recognize and confront your fears, allowing you to move past them and discover truth and purpose.

Do you recognize this box car? I know you recognize the railroad name, but do you recognize the car design? I'll bet most readers are not familiar with this car design. It does look similar to many box cars used in the first four decades of the 20th Century, but this was the most common B&O box car until 1926. There were 9988 listed as in service in an October 1926 Official Railway Equipment Register (ORER). Are you surprised?

Prepping Winter Hair for Spring, Part Two of Three
By Gigi Anders
Yesterday we interviewed our fave derm of all time, Tina Alster, to understand what creates wrecked winter hair and how to deal with it. Today, we get into the specifics with our fave hairstylist of all time, Devin Toth, who'll show us what to do at the salon to transition that sad winter hair into springtime gorgeousness, and which products he loves. And tomorrow I'll tell you which products I tested and now swear by. Prepare for beautiful hair.
Gigi Anders: Devin, you always say summer's all about neglecting your hair. But in winter, we all wear caps outside and it's always a damaged wreck too.
Devin Toth: Damage is damage. The idea is to stop doing damage and help your hair for a week or a month to get it back to where it needs to be. Ratty hair that you twist away or braid creates more elegance, but it's also how you rip your hairs out.
GA: Where to begin?
DT: You have to cut off all your awful ends and get a real haircut, not a trim. Sun and certain products can alter and fade color. Everyone gets a seal-in gloss at my salon. It enriches the color you're going for and I like the shine it gives.
GA: What about using a weekly or semimonthly clarifying shampoo followed by a major mask? I love a good clarifying shampoo. It gives you a clean slate, like exfoliating your face.
DT: The important thing with a clarifying shampoo is to not overuse it. Unless you swim every week, you don't really need it every week. I like Kérastase's. Then a deep conditioner or mask. I like NuMe's, which is a happy brand. Comb it through after shampooing and leave it in all day.
GA: What about day to day styling and damage prevention?
DT: Lower the setting on the hot tools or learn how to style your hair without the iron. Stick to round-brushing for the first week or two. The idea is to not damage it. We want the opposite of summer hair, so don't stretch the elasticity out of it. No steam should be coming off of it. Think of it as a juice cleanse.
GA: Any maintenance styling products you love?
DT: Even if you're not a product person, you need a month of a light, leave-in serum to protect your hair. Then let it be and enjoy your polished, new ends; gloss; and fresh spring hair.

"We began our dialogue with Miranova in the fall of 2011. For a start, our need was that we wanted an objective and holistic assessment of our total finances with a special focus on investment optimisation vs. risk.
Miranova has proved to be extremely competent at taking care of this task. During the process, Miranova challenged us on a number of former decisions which, in hindsight, should not have been made when considering our desires for the development of our assets.
Today, our assets have been restructured and several other parameters have been changed so that our expectations are correlated with our desired risk."

Jamphel Sharab has a nice photoessay showing Delhi's single screen theatres. Do see the ticket prices on the boards. Shockingly low!
How cinema has changed over the years from single screen mega hall to multiple screen small halls. Whatever the changes or innovations, it is really sad that viewing cinema has become so costly. There was a time when most could watch a movie as it was really economical. There were several classes from Box (the highest) to Dress Circle (the lowest) with balcony in middle. Now most find it difficult given exorbitant prices.
The next set of innovation in cinema should be focused on making it more affordable. Especially given the poor quality of movies going around, you feel dejected each time you take the risk of watching a movie..

Last Tuesday the students of 4ºESO went to the British Council Education Fair in Madrid. There, we had the chance of getting to know more about the British education system and how it works.
There were stands of many different universities from all over the UK, including very well-known ones like Cambridge University and King's College in London, offering students their variety of careers and giving information to those interested. The staff were really nice and willing to help you with any questions or doubts you had.
You could also attend conferences where they talked about different topics regarding all about the British education system. We had the pleasure of going to one of the conferences to learn about everything we need to do and what to keep in mind before applying to a British university.
Overall, I think it was a really interesting visit. It's not too long before we have to decide what to do on the future, and this was very helpful for many of us who want to study abroad.
Gema Nueda 4ºESO C
On Tuesday 20th, the students of 4ºESO headed to the hotel where the British Council Education Fair was celebrated. The main objective of the fair was making the students aware of all the variety of careers and opportunities they can opt for if they want to study in the UK.
From my perspective, it was very helpful. There were a lot of stands, each for a different university, where you could ask for useful information. For instance, if you are interested in medicine, you could have asked about the medicine-related careers they offered in that university. The staff was very nice and they answered your questions frankly, although some of them were hard to understand due to their closed accent. Also, there was a conference, where they explained the facilities that the British government provides foreign students, requirements for scholarships, etc.
In conclusion, it was a very worthwhile experience to anyone interested in studying abroad, therefore I recommend to all of these people to get some information in this fair.

E is for Expectations: How to Minimize the Pressures of Sexual Performance/
Expectations are something that constantly enters my office as a therapist. When helping my clients with sexual and relationship concerns, expectation always rears its ugly head. One of the big expectations that many of us feel when it comes to sex is that we need to perform. It's as if during sex we are held under a spotlight on stage and we, sweating and nervous, are expected to follow the script with no mistakes.
What does this sexual performance and pressure look like when it comes to sex? You might have learned, like many of us, what sex is "supposed" to look like from movies, magazines, and the culture at large. This sexual script often consists of: hug, kiss, clothes come off, maybe there's genital touching, maybe oral sex, and then ultimately penetration and orgasm, all within an appropriate time frame and with all genitals is perfect working order. With this script, not only is there the pressure for sex to include penetration and orgasm, the assumption also is that sex should not last too long, not too short, but juuuuuust right for the big finale of orgasm.
But what if you don't adhere to this Goldie Locks script many of us have been taught? What if you don't get an erection or maintain an erection every time, or don't have an orgasm, ejaculate quickly, or don't like penetration? You might find your internal dialogue says something similar to "there is something wrong with me" or "I failed". This is what often happens when we have sex using this performance-based model; there is the consistent feeling you are doing it wrong no matter what you do.
From Pressure to Pleasure
What if I said that instead of feeling like you are walking on a sexual tightrope with immense expectations that you have to stay in line and "do it right", you could find relaxation in sex? You can find this relaxation by transitioning your mindset from performance-based sex to pleasure-based sex. Already sounds a lot less stressful with that word pleasure doesn't it? Not only does it sound less stressful it is less stressful because with sex focused on pleasure rather than performance, there is no failing and there is no "doing it wrong". If there isn't an erection, no problem! If an orgasm takes a long time or doesn't happen, no problem! If you focus on the pleasure, you are doing it right no matter what you do.
How to embody pleasure-based sex
Remove the expectation that everything intimate has to occur, or lead up to, sex and penetration
You, like many, might feel the expectation that intimacy always has to lead to sex. This might cause you to withdraw from any intimate contact. Instead of sex being the goal of every intimate situation, focus on pleasure activities that can happen before, after, and importantly instead of intercourse. Rebecca Chalker puts it nicely in her book The Clitoral Truth, when she says non-intercourse can be "exquisitely intimate" and that "intercourse is only one way to experience the rich banquet of sexuality" (138). When you make intercourse only one piece of the pie rather than the whole thing, you can then enjoy other yummy slices such as self-pleasuring, mutual self-pleasuring, oral sex, massages, sensual showers, toys, watching or reading something sexy, etc. Try making your own yummy list of pleasure activities that you can enjoy in addition to or instead sex.
Remove the expectation that sex has to include or end in an orgasm
Sexual pleasure doesn't always have to be about "achieving" orgasm. Instead, focus on the pleasure of the experience rather than pressuring yourself to orgasm. Pressure is THE antithesis to pleasure and as an extension, orgasm. Rather than all that focus on orgasm, relax into the pleasure of what you are feeling and if an orgasm happens, great; and if an orgasm doesn't happen, that's OK too. Orgasm is not the determining factor of "success" or the end-all-be-all in sex, but rather a potential part of your overall exquisite experience.
Remove the expectation of genital performance
To indulge in the "rich banquet of sexuality" as Rebecca Chalker mentioned, move your focus beyond the genitals and consider the entire body as one big erogenous playground for arousal. This takes the pressure off our genitals to perform because there is no longer the expectation that an erection, penetration, or orgasm has to occur. If an erection goes down mid-play, that's ok! Have some fun experimenting with the five senses to find what sensations your body enjoys and that really build your arousal. Tantalize your ears with music or even some fun, dirty talk. Discover what kind of touch feels arousing such as firm, playful, or sensuous. Even try some delicious smelling candles or oils. Also depriving one of your senses by covering your eyes with a light blindfold while tantalizing your taste buds with delicious strawberries can bring an arousing buzz to your body. The possibilities are endless!
Remove time expectations
Dump the Golide Locks concept of sex, where everything is juuuuuuust right and the timing is perfect for an erection, penetration, and orgasm to happen. If you focus on the pleasure, the time becomes a moot point. Pleasure can be found in 5 minutes of kissing on the couch and in reading an erotic story together. That isn't to say you can't enjoy penetration or orgasm, but when you take the pressure off of performance and instead focus on the pleasure in whatever form it comes in and at whatever length of time you can have relaxing, pressure-free intimacy.

The next thing that you need to consider is the size of the speakers. Size does matter, but since you are going to use the speakers for the movie room, you can still pick the small sized speakers. However, you need to make sure that the speaker is not too small. You will need about ten inches ceiling speakers on every corner of the room. For the main front speakers, make sure you have the bigger ones. The last but not least, for the precise position, you will not need to hide the speakers by covering them all. It will be better if all of those speakers are fully visible, especially on the corners of the room.

10 Packaging Peeves That Are Fuelling Trash Talk
Our Trash Talk campaign has had people across the country sharing their packaging problems. The conversations we've had over the past month have covered pretty much every type of packaging that we come across in our lives.
We've covered takeaways, single-use plastics, beauty packaging, online shopping, clinical waste, on-the-go food and so much more. Excessive and unnecessary packaging can be found in every part of our routines.
We always said that Trash Talk is a positive campaign. We're not here to brand bash. And it's been amazing to find that people have spent more time talking about how they recycle, reduce and reuse, highlighting packaging that they feel works and sharing ideas of packaging that seemingly doesn't exist yet.
But hidden behind these solutions are the problems that need to be fixed. We thought we'd share 10 of the most popular packaging peeves that are pushing our buttons.
1. Fruit and vegetables wrapped in plastic
"Gotta love plastic packaging for naturally packaged fruit"
This has been the number one Trash Talk. It's often the case that buying fruit and vegetables is cheaper when you buy it in a plastic pack than when you buy it loose. What is with that?!
"I wish we were rewarded for buying loose," one Trash Talker said.
2. Online shopping
"You don't need to repackage things twice."
Online shopping is so convenient - if you're in your house when it arrives, that is. But unwrapping your product often feels like a really boring solo game of pass the parcel. What do those little white foam balls achieve, anyway?!
3. Takeaway sushi
"I love my lunchtime sushi! However, a discourteous negative thought always passes through my mind when I open the lush, colourful little box... "do we need a plastic tray for the plastic soya sauce bottle?"
I usually let it pass and in a rush to get back to work, deem myself powerless to the decision-making of this huge franchise that makes delicious food for me. So I become passive and disempowered.
Today, I say nay nay."
This Trash Talker pretty much said it all - and really, why do we need those little fish when we could just pour it on in store?!
4. Single-use plastic cups
"I would happily use my own glass on the seafront. I had those flimsy plastic cups."
Single-use cups is a really hot debate right now all across the country. And in Trash Talk, we've been talking about various options from reusable collapsable cups, biodegradable pint glasses and a whole range of potential solutions already out there.
But, still, grr... down with the plastic cups that flood our fields, streets, gig floors and beaches in the summer time!
5. Avocados (and other veg) with a tray AND wrapped in plastic
"Avocados were a disappointment as the packaging included a plastic tray to separate them - totally unnecessary."
We know we've already gone down the "veg wrapped in plastic" peeve, but adding in those plastic trays can make us even more irate - especially when many of them can't be recycled.
Just sell them loose. Let them be free. Seriously.
6. Hummus pots
"Having to remove three different types of packaging just to dip into my hummus feels really OTT."
I think it's fair to say that most people like hummus (and other dips, for that matter) but they commonly come in a plastic tub, wrapped in plastic with a cardboard sleeve. Sure, you could make your own, but sometimes we just don't have time for that.
So what about re-usable glass containers? Expanding the amount of refillable hummus hubs? There must be something better than peeling off that plastic seal and wondering if you can actually recycle the sleeve.
7. Clinical packaging
"I have prefilled injection 'pens' which I hand in at my GP's for disposal but what happens to them, I've no idea. Wish I could get my tablets in reusable bottles, too!"
When it comes to medical packaging, it's often the case that people see it as unavoidable waste - which makes total sense: without pharmaceutical knowledge, it's hard to make a judgement on whether or not packaging is protecting your medicine.
We're looking into it.
That being said, there are some packaging peeves that can - surely - be avoided. Why is there so much space between tablets? Why does a collection of tablets have to come in a plastic bag, rather than a paper one? Couldn't the bottles be reusable ones?
It's not all lost, though, ways of recycling medical waste have been shared through Trash Talk - and that's something we'll be talking about in another post.
8. Soap wrapped in plastic - then wrapped in cardboard (which is wrapped in plastic)
"Why does a cardboard box with soap inside need to be wrapped in plastic? And why does the soap need to be wrapped in plastic, too?! I'm more likely to buy the soap that I can actually smell."
Ah, soap. So simple, yet so many options. And, like our Trash Talker said, surely all that we really care about is the smell?
Soap dispensers have been a hot topic too, but that's for another time.
9. Plastic wrapped around beer
"My booze of choice is beer and, with the sun coming out, I've been buying cans and taking them down to the beach/to a friends garden. And I find it really annoying that most groups of beers come wrapped in those little bits of plastic."
Those plastic beer rings are so annoying - especially when you see the consequences it has on the world's oceans.
It's a convenient idea for carrying your beers together, but surely solutions that people are developing, like edible and biodegradable six pack rings, are a better replacement?
10. Razors
"Oh, razors. Why do I need a really sharp object to get to you?"
Razors are sharp and it's important that they're carefully protected in stores. But do they really need that "you shall not enter" sealed plastic, with a piece of cardboard inside and a razor with a plastic shield attached to it?
Can't they be treated the same as knives or peelers and just have a small piece of plastic over the top?
There are some razor options out there with less packaging, as is the case for every packaging peeve we've noted in this post. Solutions for excessive packaging waste are coming to light, and we're excited to share the ideas that our Trash Talkers have been coming up with soon. But these are just 10 of the reasons why redesigning packaging waste is so important - for the environment, and for our sanity.
Got a packaging peeve you want to share? There are so many ways you can...
1. In the comments
2. On your social media platform of choice using #TrashTalk
3. In our Trash Talk Facebook Group
4. All of the above - and offline, too.
Want to know a little bit more about Trash Talk?
Trash Talk started on 7th May 2018 as a week long campaign looking for solutions to the packaging waste problem, but the conversation hasn't stopped.
We're pulling together all of the data from our volunteers, who've been collecting a week's worth of packaging, as well as the problems and solutions that people have had, and sharing our findings with key influencers and decision makers later in the year.
This campaign wouldn't be possible without our sponsors, Clarity Environmental, who help businesses to comply with environmental regulations. Their support is helping us to ensure that our voices are heard, so that Trash Talk can make a real difference.

The Will of God Always Reaps Eternal Benefits
John 6:38-40 (KJB) For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. 39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. 40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which ...Continue Reading →

The Princess, The Scoundrel, and the Farmboy
Man, I'm so excited for you guys to finally see this cover! We went through so many different options, but this one was always my favorite for its classic simplicity, and I am mega excited that Leia is my big featured character. As I mentioned before re: the hair, there wasn't really a way to make the double buns work because of where they're positioned on her head and the angle of the silhouette. The book touches on Leia, Han, and Luke's lives before the film, so I like to imagine this is just one of Leia's many rotating hairstyles.
Here's the full summary:
The galaxy is at war.
Although the Rebel Alliance has won a few battles against the Empire, hope is fading. The Empire is about to finish building the greatest weapon the galaxy has ever seen-the Death Star. The rebels' only chance to defeat it now lies in the unlikely hands of a princess, a scoundrel, and a farm boy. . . .
Acclaimed, New York Times bestselling author Alexandra Bracken delivers a captivating retelling of Star Wars: A New Hope like you've never experienced before. Since the premier of the original film, Princess Leia, Han Solo, and Luke Skywalker have become iconic, larger-than-life characters. The Princess, the Scoundrel, and the Farm Boy takes a deeper look at these three heroes as they join forces to defeat the evil that threatens their entire galaxy.
I jokingly call this "The Star Wars Breakfast Club" because it plays with the idea of labels--how Leia is dismissed as being a mere pretty princess when she's trying to earn respect as a senator, and, later, work her way up through the ranks of the Rebel Alliance; how Han struggles to balance his need to stay alive and the sense of right and wrong he's tried to suppress; how Luke is dismissed as "kid" and a "farmboy," even by himself, and ultimately rises up to become a hero.
In addition to delving deeper with the characters, I had THE BEST time writing a bunch of "off camera" scenes you don't get to see in the films; aside from the film script, I had permission to pull directly from the radio drama script (the sorely missed) Brian Daley was commissioned to write (something I've always held as true canon), bits of the EU that have remained canon, and in certain moments, solely from my own imagination, so long as it all stayed true to the new canon they're developing with the upcoming films and novels. (Side note: it was super interesting to see what bit of lore/character backgrounds I couldn't use--it gave me a little hint or two about what might be coming.) It was a privilege to have the freedom to use pretty much anything I wanted from this super rich material to create something that will hopefully feel fresh, but extremely true to the canon longtime Star Wars fans know and love.
These are meant for younger readers, but I honestly think readers of all ages will get a kick of the retellings. I grew up reading Star Wars EU books exclusively (pretty much from ages 8-13, if it wasn't SW, I didn't want to touch it), and, as most of you know, it is a huge part of my life. My greatest hope is that you'll share it with kids who are just taking their first steps into a much larger world, and that you'll enjoy the story of this "found family" together with your own.

Bill O'Reilly used his Fox News platform Monday to proclaim that it is "open season" on Christians and white men in America, while attacking a just announced presidential candidate who has been a devout Methodist since girlhood.
The mighty mouth of Fox spoke amids a escalating national scandal over police shootings of African Americans, and on the eve of Equal Pay Day called to draw attention to women's lower paychecks.
But O'Reilly speaks to an audience that is overwhelming white, elderly and male. Here is how he began Monday's talking points commentary.
"Working Americans are still struggling to make it in the marketplace, and our traditional American values are under siege nearly everywhere. If you're a Christian or a white man in the USA, it's open season on you.
"Therefore Hillary Clinton has the advantage."
How? Clinton is a Christian, active in her church from Sunday school to senior citizenship. Seventy-nine of 100 U.S. senators are white men. Forty-six out of 50 governors are white guys. So are the vast majority of corporate directors and Silicon Valley CEO's.
But BillO's job is to convince his geriatric audience that its "values" are under siege. It's the same cynical ploy that is played out each year with Fox's "War on Christmas."
O'Reilly then went to war of a different nature. "I don't think gender matters one bit," he said, "and if this 'war on women' business is resurrected we'll have something to say about it.'
He went on to play clips of Republican presidential contenders denouncing Hillary Clinton.
And then . . . BillO promised to be "fair" but "tough" in covering Clinton's presidential campaign.
Absurd. But what can you expect a TV network that is broadcast voice for the Republican Party, and has twice gone apoplectic at election of Barack Obama.
Elsewhere, the same evening, a Fox guest was likening Clinton to Karl Marx and Voldemort.

Linux System Administration Tasks Performed Using Linux Commands
Linux commands are the fastest and easiest way to do System Administration tasks – as opposed to using Linux "point-and-click" GUI utilities.
Linux Commands Are Small Linux Binary Program Files
To "run" a Linux command, you type in the name of the command (and possibly some command options and parameters) and then press the Enter key.
When you run a Linux command, you are actually running a small program, commonly referred to as a "binary" (short for "Linux binary program file").
So, when you run the ls command, you are actually running a small program file named ls that is in a directory on the Linux hard disk!
Linux commands are in several of the "system" directories that have the names of bin and sbin. The bin stands for binary and sbin stands for superuser binary.
Linux Commands Training Tips: Superuser is another name for the main Linux System Administrator that has the user name (login name) of root.
Examples of Linux Commands Commonly Used for Linux System Administration
Linux command names are typically a short version of what a command is used for. Having short command names makes the commands fast and easy to run.
For example, the LInux mkdir command is used to m a k e a dir ectory to hold files and other directories.
Here are some more Linux command examples, and the name of the command (which is also the name of a binary program file) is shown at the left and the description is on the right:
- passwd – create or change the passw or d for a Linux user
- cp – is used to c o p y directories and files
- ls – l i s ts the contents of a directory (shows files and directories)
- mv – m o v e a directory or file

Heath Insurance Resolution That Will not Work
Division of Health commemorates Breast Most cancers Consciousness month by embarking on different academic, advocacy and awareness activities to struggle breast cancer from 01 – 31 October. But what your last comment seems to reveal is a few type of snobbery that allows you to suppose that onerous working low wage earners don't deserve quality health care. The Korean works in the U.S. for a big company that provides high-rated health insurance, and it nonetheless sucks in comparison with the national health insurance coverage in Korea. I contacted my insurance coverage agent, she instructed me to contact the corporate instantly, whose headquarter was in New York (I dwell in CA). Combine 1/2 tsp kalonji oil, 1 tsp of vinegar and a tablespoon of honey and take this combination within the morning earlier than breakfast and at night time after dinner.
The study, carried out by the Boston University of Public Health, looked on the health habits of men aged 20 via 29, then adopted these men for the subsequent 18 years. It costs money, however the truth that it costs cash is one purpose particular person procedures stay so comparatively low-cost and health care's share of GDP stays so relatively small. Additional, they have anti most cancers, anti tumor, immune boosting, anti bacterial, anti viral, anti microbial and anti-inflammatory properties among different health benefiting properties. So our system would go down unless the wealthy individuals are included compulsorily in this public insurance coverage system. It is not ease to swallow realizing that your cigarette habit could possibly be stopping them from having a healthy physique and longer life. I've have taken many ideas and words to encourage my good friend who's going by chemo. Inhabitants health promotes prevention, wellness and equity in all environments, leading to a healthy New Jersey.
For those who go to a panel clinic and/or migration medical services provider clinic after 20 November 2015, you would possibly be asked to finish further health examinations that are not listed in documentation provided by us. These examinations have to be completed for processing of your visa utility to proceed.
This becomes very tiresome – I have little curiosity in your health system, however these fixed assaults on ours develop into very tiresome, in a short time. You will need to perceive that healthcare insurance coverage suppliers do not care concerning the patient, they care about the bottom line. Health care is dear due to authorities increasing protection to new sicknesses: i.e.: alcoholism, psychological sickness. As for waiting lists, there are for non-crucial points, but persons are free to have their very own non-public insurance coverage or to pay instantly.
The leafy greens at the finish of them, nonetheless, are full of the compound oxalic acid and presumably Anthraquinone glycosides, in accordance with the Nationwide Institutes of Health (NIH) While they won't trigger death, they'll still do some harm — at the very least causing dizziness, a burning mouth, and stomach pain, and at the worst causing kidney stones, seizures, and coma.

Hello. I was wondering if anyone had any information about the location (GPS coordinates) of Spiked Rampion in East Sussex? I went to Tinkers Lane near Uckfield on 14th June 2015 where about 150 plants were recorded in 2010 but was unable to find any. I know this is a rare and declining species and wondered if anyone knew whether I was too early to see them or if they have gone? Many thanks

Garlicky Swiss Chard
We received Swiss Chard in our Tanaka Farms CSA box today. Coincidentally, I just posted a new video on preparing Garlicky Swiss Chard. It's super easy to make and so healthy!
Garlicky Swiss Chard
4 Servings
- 1 1/2 bunches chard
- olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- salt and pepper
- squeeze of lemon
- Saute swiss chard (remove stems and rough chop into 3" pieces) in a little bit of oil.
- Heat pan and put in chard. Cover to steam, 3 mins.
- Add minced garlic, salt and black pepper.
- Finish off with a squeeze of fresh lemon.
Easy Stovetop Rice Pilaf
I LOVE RICE! My favorite is what I grew up on, Japanese style short grain sticky rice. These days, however, we eat mostly brown rice and once in awhile a light and fluffy pilaf. You can make pilaf in your rice cooker but I prefer the stovetop. I first sauté onions and garlic, then toss in the rice and stir until toasty. Next, I add the broth or water and a generous pinch of salt. Bring it to a boil and then cover and simmer on low for 20 minutes. That's it!
|Easy Stovetop Rice Pilaf
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1/4 onion, small dice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 cup basmati rice, rinsed and drained
- 1 1/2 cups water or low sodium broth (vegetable, chicken or beef)
- pinch of salt
- Place saucepan over medium heat.
- After a minute, add oil and swirl.
- Add onions and sauté for 1 minute.
- Add garlic and stir for 20 seconds.
- Add rice and stir until it just starts to stick to the bottom.
- Add water or broth and a pinch of salt.
- Turn heat to high and bring it to a boil.
- When it begins to boil, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Fluff and adjust seasoning.
- Enjoy!
Tender Chicken Breasts Everytime
No one likes DRY chicken breasts but how do you prepare them so they turn out moist and tender every time? I'll share the two methods that I use for guaranteed tender boneless skinless and bone-in skin on chicken breasts. You can dice or shred the breasts and use it in your favorite chicken enchiladas, chicken salad, chicken pot pie, chicken soup, and more. For BONELESS SKINLESS chicken breasts, place two breasts on a large piece of foil, rub them with a little
oil, season with salt and pepper, seal up the sides of foil and pop them into a 350 oven for 30-35 minutes. Wait a few minutes and then open up the foil packet and be sure the juices are clear. For BONE IN SKIN ON chicken breasts, you do exactly the same as above but without the foil. Just place the breasts on a baking sheet, skin side up, and bake them in a 350 oven for 35-40 minutes or until their juices run clear when pierced with a small sharp knife or when a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees.
|Tender Bone-In Skin On Chicken Breasts
- 1-2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tsp olive oil
- salt
- pepper
- Set oven to 350 degrees.
- Place chicken breasts on baking sheet.
- Rub each breast with 1 tsp olive oil.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Place skin side up and bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes or until meat thermometer reads 165 degrees.
Refreshing Iced Coffee
I love the taste of iced coffee. The key to making good iced coffee at home is to start out with cold coffee. So, the first thing I do every morning is brew up a large cup of Tulleys and set it on the counter while I continue getting ready. (If I'm in a hurry, I pour the brewed coffee in a baking dish for more surface area. It'll cool faster.) When the coffee is somewhat cool, I fill up my tumbler halfway with ice, give a squeeze of agave nectar and some soy cream and stir! The soy cream gives the coffee a terrific 'nutty' flavor but of course you can use milk or half and half. You can also substitute agave nectar with sugar. Enjoy!
|Refreshing Iced Coffee
- 1 1/2 - 2 Cups brewed coffee
- ice cubes
- soy milk
- agave nectar
- Brew coffee and set aside to cool.
- When coffee has cooled, pour over ice.
- Add soy milk (I like about 2-3 Tablespoons)
- Add agave nectar (about 1 Tablespoon)
- Stir and enjoy!

Hello, visitors! Today we are going to talk about Snapchat. As we all know Snapchat is a world-renowned multimedia messaging and snap sharing app. In this post, we will also be talking about Snapchat login errors and how you how you can fix them. We are also going to share how you can use Snapchat by logging in from your PC. So, just sit tight and keep reading as there is a lot of information to grasp in this article.
Complete Information About Snapchat Login:
The Snapchat app needs no introduction. This messaging and snap sharing app was developed by Evan Spiegel, Reggie Brown and Bobby Murphy who were former Stanford University students. The unique feature of Snapchat is that the pictures and messages of your friends last only for a short time.
The concept of "Stories" that is now being implemented on Whatsapp and Facebook was the brainchild of SnapChat. Stories are nothing but a collection of snaps that you can share with your friends and followers. These snaps are prioritized in a chronological manner and hence tells your friends and followers about how your day was. The stories only last for 24 hours.
Snapchat is a unique photo-sharing app. That was one of the core reason behind its success. Let's have a look at the feature of Snapchat that led to its success.
- Flamboyant Filters: – One of the most popular features of this app is its filters. A variety of filters can be found in this app which can give your special moments a special touch. The most commonly used filters are – Brighten, Contrast, Sepia etc.
- Funny Lenses: – We all know about those funny lenses whether it is the cute dog lens or the flower crown everyone love to try those lenses ah.. don't forget about the face swap that is one of my favorites!
- Snap editing: – With Snap editing you can add text, draw doodles or add stickers in your snap.
- And many other features like Snapchat discover, Snapchat Map and Snapchat Trophies.
All these features make Snapchat a really unique and different snap sharing apps from other apps like Instagram, Whatsapp etc. Now let's have a look at how you can perform Snapchat Login on your PC.
How to Login Two SnapChat on One Phone:
Well, isn't it annoying to log out from your previous account in order to log in on your other Snapchat account? If you feel that way then we have a solution for you! What if I told you that you can run two Snapchat accounts on one device? Wouldn't that be really convenient? Well, let's have a look at how you can achieve that.
Step 1 – Download Parallel Space App from the Google Playstore.
Step 2 – Install the app and launch it.
Step 3 – Before moving on to the next step make sure you have Snapchat installed on your mobile device.
Step 4 – Now launch the Parallel Space app and install Snapchat on it for that you need to click on Add App button.
Step 5 – Select the Snapchat app and click on Add to parallel space.
Step 6 – Click on the three dots on the top-right corner of the app and select Speed Mode.
Step 7 – Turn the Speed Mode off and login in your Google Play Store account.
Step 8 – Now launch the Snapchat app from Parallel Space.
That's it! now you can access your alternate account just by launching the Parallel Space App.
So, that is how you can log in on two Snapchat accounts at the same time. I hope you found this trick helpful if you have any queries related to it you can ask them in the comments section.
How Login SnapChat on PC?
Well, you may have tried this app on your mobiles and tablets but if you are trying to install this app on your PC using any emulators like Nox, Blustacks or Manymo then I have got a bad news for you.You can't use Snapchat on Android Emulators. Snapchat has recently blocked all emulators from running the app. The moment you try to login in the Snapchat app you will face this Snapchat login error. So, it's better that you use this app on your mobile or tablets only.
How to Fix SnapChat Login Errors:
Well, if after following the above steps everything went smoothly then you don't need to read this. But if you are facing Snapchat login errors on either mobile or PC then this section is just for you!

I've recently come back from a 10 day long meditation course, in which I maintained silence and meditated for over 50 hours. Powerful stuff.
The vipassana course I attended at Dhamma Dipa was not brought to my attention through advertising. I did not hear about it on social media. I did not read a book about it, attend an event, nor read a leaflet.
No. it was through word of mouth.
This form of marketing wasn't even referral; it was simply meeting a succession of people that had done the course and described it to me. None of them advised that I should go on it or it would be beneficial to me.
Initially my friend Rose went on the course, and I was intrigued after hearing about it. Next, me and my partner stayed in an Airbnb in Girona, Spain, and after seeing our host's meditation cushion in her room, we got talking about it and she mentioned she had gone on a vipassana course. Lastly, I then stayed in an Airbnb in the UK and met an incredible lady who I really got on with, it was only later that it transpired that she had done the course every year for ten years.
With the latest research stating that 92% of consumers value word of mouth marketing above all else, it got me thinking about other products or services I've heard about through word of mouth, and become a fan.
- I heard about the djs Above and Beyond through someone playing me their records.
- I've also recently become addicted to the Oatly barista edition as it's a great non-dairy milk alternative for your cup of tea, which I heard about through someone mentioning it.
In both cases, not only do I engage with the brand and product on a regular basis, I tell everyone I know how good these things are and what the value has been to my life.
Econsultancy notes that brands such as Netflix and Lush have great success with this, as they know that people are more likely to trust their friends than big brands.
However, word of mouth is incredibly difficult to get right. There's a few things to consider to make it a success:
- Your product or service has to be something different
No one will rave about you if there's a million others like it. It has to be innovative, pushing the boundaries in some way. For example, I've just found out about the plethora of Easter Eggs found in Mr Robot, and although these have been done before, it's never been to this level.
- Your product or service has to be good
Quality and consistency are important. Not only that, but your product has to inspire others to break the boundaries of perfection. Here, I'm thinking of the 4K holographic show EPIC, from Eric Prydz. Not only is it different, it's an incredible 'product'.
- The customer experience has to be outstanding
Does the end user feel that you really care about them? If not, it doesn't matter how different or valuable the product is. In the end, the product or service is valuable because of the value added to the customer's life. By ensuring that all aspects of the journey are smooth and enjoyable, you'll find that the customer will bring many more people back to you in return.

This question already has an answer here:
Firstly, I welcome a better title for this question. I admit I'm a security novice.
I'm trying to determine whether I have malware and what that malware may be doing. Using Wireshark, I see several suspicious streams, including addresses ending in .ln and .ch that send all data encrypted. When I run
whois it always times out, unless I specify explicitly the whois server to use (this is itself suspicious to me), so I've resorted to using an online client at http://whois.domaintools.com/.
One stream that is more consistently present goes to lga15s42-in-f21.1e100.net, every few seconds, and is sending over TLSv1.2. Packets are often of fixed sizes (60, 107, 125) but are sometimes larger and not repeated sizes.
~The whois entry for 1e100.net is particularly suspicious to me.~ Scratch that. I had invalid entry by mistyping the domain. Actual entry is for Google, Inc, which greatly reduces suspicion of this traffic.
Amended question, since the traffic would seem to be going to Google: why is Google sending this info over TLS on a non-standard port? Is that basically the way they should send background queries? It is annoying because to a security novice (or for that matter, not a novice), such traffic adds noise. I would be happier if such queries went over clear-text on standard protocols, as I'm trying to figure out if I've been rooted.
ps. Should have mentioned, the computer in question is a MacBook Air Retina Pro, running OS X 10.9.3.
