A smartphone is no longer a luxury but a necessity that almost everyone should have. The absence of smartphones would really make life so hard that it would almost be impossible for people living in this generation to stay without one. Come to think of it; there are so many things that Tecno smartphones in Kenya have made it possible for people to do in the last few years. Maybe some throwback moments will make you remember what we are talking about, some years back, communicating with a friend or a loved one would require that you send a letter which could take three days to one week to get to the recipient.
A lot of money and time was required for such communication. Sometimes people had to wait for a whole year before they could meet and share all the experiences that they had had throughout the year, let us not forget the albums that we had for keeping most of our photos. Flash forward 2016 and all that is long gone, talking to a friend who is a thousand miles away is as easy and fast as talking to someone who is already there. This has been made possible by the evolution of smartphone technology. This happens to be the reason as to why everyone wants to have a smartphone as feature phones have proved to be a non-reliable source of communication.
The Tecno story is so interesting in Kenya as it came to make the lives of the many people who could not afford smartphones get their hands on one of them. Initially, we had very few smartphones that were too expensive that it would require a person with a middle income to save for a very long time to get one. Tecno saw the gap in the market and brought smartphones that were very affordable to the people. The introduction of Tecno phones made everything in Kenya different in a good way.
That is why after five years, Tecno has been doing an amazing job in the market. Other mid-range phones have come to the market, and I have to say that they have been giving Tecno phones some competition. The fact that there are many models that also happen to be affordable does not mean that Tecno phones don't tick, below are some of the reasons as to why you shroud consider buying a Tecno phone.
Tecno phones happen to be one of the most affordable smartphones in Kenya. I agree that there has been a very high competition with smartphones as so many companies are providing the Kenyan market with highly affordable smartphones making it a little bit tricky for Tecno phones to maintain the rising consistency in the market. This does not mean that Tecno has lost its edge in as far as affordability of their smartphones is concerned. A look at any Tecno phone will give you an idea of how an affordable phone looks like. Tecno combines quality and style and gives you a package that is too good for you. We cannot complain Tecno has been tried and proved to be a phone worth having at any time.
Anyone looking for a phone that can promise a good performance will definitely get it from Tecno. Apart from a few models that have already been faced out, most of the models released in 2016 are updated coming with some of the best features that would make you buy a phone on any day. The good thing is that you get a phone which has the best in smartphone technology at a really low price
Availability, Tecno is one of the phones that you will never miss in any shop display wherever you are in Kenya. You don't have to worry that you have to be in a major town to get your hands on Tecno smartphones. Tecno has made it its business to widely distribute their phones in all parts of the country. We all know that for us to get some of the high-end phones such as Samsung, we definitely need to be in a major town for that to happen. At least this is not the case with Tecno smartphones. I will not forget to mention that Tecno happens to be one of the most sold phones in online stores that are in Kenya.
This actually makes things easier for anyone who would want to get a Tecno phone. You can order from anywhere you are in the country, and you will get it delivered right to your doorstep. This is an amazing development that was not there a few years ago when most of us had to physically look for a product which happens to be time-consuming, and it is not always a guarantee that you will get the product that you are looking for on that same day.
Anyone looking to invest in a mid-range phone that offers nothing less of quality should look no further as Tecno is the way to go. Tecno P3 was among the very first Tecno phones in the country. A few years have gone by, and you will still find a few people owning one of these phones. The only issue may be that the performance is not at par as with most phones that have come to the market but that is expected. We all know that electronics depreciate from the moment they start being used. Tecno P3 is a phone that can deliver the basics that you would want in a smartphone.
This tells us that Tecno is a brand that has dedicated to giving its users the best quality as far as their products are concerned. That is the main reason as to why most people will upgrade from a Tecno phone to a better Tecno phone. The quality of the Tecno phones is actually what has kept this phone in business for a very long time. People want gadgets that can offer them good quality for their money. Tecno has been able to do exactly what people want. Thus, anyone considering a phone should automatically think of Tecno
Truth be told, Tecno happens to be one of the most affordable phones with the best specs. Gone are the days when the size of the phone used to impress us. People are nowadays looking for a phone that has good specs which can compete with some expensive models that are in the country. Tecno has always had it going with specs at times giving us better deals than some of the most known brands. For instance, Tecno is among the phones that are capable of giving you a large battery capacity that will keep you going for a very long time. There are Tecno phones that have large battery capacities of close to 6000mAh. Such batteries take you for longer hours and sometimes days without you having to recharge them.
Android 6.0 is the new kid in town, and Tecno has made it its business to offer this new version to its customers. Most Tecno phones that are making an entry into the market are running on this version. With Tecno, you are guaranteed that you get everything new in the tech world. It would not be fair if I failed to mention about the camera. In all mid-range phones in Kenya, Tecno happens to be the one with the best camera. The previously launched Tecno C9 boasts of a 13MP front camera and a 13MP rear camera. This phone not only boats of the camera but runs on the latest Android OS, has a good battery, a high performance, and the design is really awesome. The best part is that you get this phone with less than 15K. That is how juicy Tecno deals happen to be.
There are a thousand and one reasons as to why you can always consider buying a Tecno phone. I say that Tecno is the new black in town, one of the phones that give you irresistible deals that you cannot ignore. Ask anyone who has a Tecno phone and they will tell you that they are always upgrading to another Tecno phone. A phone that is a position to give you the best with the least amount of money is sure the way to go.
This is the deal that most people on campus and the group that has just started working cannot ignore. Tecno has actually made life easier for people, and more to that, made most people afford a smartphone something that was next to impossible a few years ago.

Playing to Win, my romantic suspense is free from 5 March to 9 March.
You know how you get those catchy songs stuck in your head? You hear them once and suddenly you're humming or singing the song? It becomes the song that will not go away!
These songs are called earworms.
And they're really annoying. The more you think about them, the more they stick in your mind.
I was waiting for my toes to dry after a pedicure and came across this short snippet in Women's Health, Australian edition, about how to get rid of earworms.
The answer: Chew gum.
Why does it work?
The motion of your jaw interrupts the earworm by distracting the part of the brain that is responsible for repetitive thinking, according to Dr. Elizabeth Hellmuth Margulis, Director of the Music Cognition Lab at the University of Arkansas.
A second way to stomp on an earworm is to play another song and listen to it all the way through. Of course, you run the risk of catching another earworm!
Can you remember your last earworm?
During our recent visit to Tasmania, I was determined to see a Tasmanian devil. I have seen them before, and they fascinated me with their grunting and growling and their surly, cantankerous natures. I knew that the population of devils has experienced difficulties during the last ten years, and I wanted to see them again.
A Tasmanian devil is a stocky black or brown mammal, about the size of a cat. They have short back legs and since their front legs are slightly longer this gives them an ambling gait. They are carnivorous and have powerful jaws and sharp teeth, used to tear apart their prey of snakes, birds, fish and carrion.
Early settlers named them devils because of their spine-chilling growls that filled the night. At one time, farmers thought that they attacked their livestock, and the population was almost wiped out. Once they became a protected species the numbers of devil increased until the mid 1990s. A large number of devil died with an illness called devil facial tumor. It is a type of cancer that made lumps form on the animals' heads. Once they were infected the tumors made it difficult for the devils to eat and they died in the thousands. Captive breeding programs have saved the species from extinction but they are still vulnerable.
We visited Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary where they take in injured animals. In most cases, they attempt to release animals into the wild, although they have a few animals that are unable to live in the wild due to ongoing injuries or problems. Along with Tasmanian devils, they had lots of kangaroos, wombats, emus and koalas. Hubby and I loved our visit here. The staff and keepers were friendly and helpful and answered loads of questions. Their enthusiasm was infectious.
What do you think? Would you like to come face-to-face with one?
My contemporary romance Spies Anonymous is FREE from 26 – 28 January at Amazon.
WARNING: This is a spicy romance with mmf and gay love scenes.
I picked up The Penguin Guide to Superstitions of Britain and Ireland at my local library and the section on tea grabbed me because I've written a romance with a tea-leaf reader heroine. I hadn't realized tea came with so many superstitions.
Here are a few of them:
Tea pot lids – if you accidently leave the lid off the pot when making tea, a stranger will call soon. People from Suffolk believe leaving the teapot lid off means you'll be sent for—it's not clear by whom—while those in Somerset think the teapot lid means the services of a doctor will be required before day's end.
Pouring the tea – It's bad luck for two people to pour tea from the same pot. In some regions two people pouring from the same pot will result in a pregnancy (I presume there is a man and woman in the equation as well as a teapot!)
Tea Stalk or leaves – if you find a stalk or a leaf floating in your cup of tea a visitor will arrive. It's possible the visitor will be a stranger.
Milk and sugar – If you put milk in your tea before the sugar you run the risk of losing a loved one.
There doesn't seem to be any logic to the superstitions, but I found them interesting. The only one I'd heard of before is the one about floating tea leaves. My parents used to say to expect a visitor whenever there were floating tea leaves.
Have you heard of these superstitions or do you have any to add?
Note: The book featuring tasseography or tea leaf reading is Reformed Bad Girl.
This year I've decided to try more new-to-me recipes instead of cooking the same old thing every week. To this end, I grabbed two recipe books from the library and started looking for enticing recipes.
The first book was Lorraine Pascale's Fast, Fresh and Easy Food, which I chose because I've seen her on the Food channel and enjoyed her recipes. It's summer here in New Zealand, and with the abundance of avocadoes and other salad ingredients, I thought I'd start with a salad.
Feta cheese
4 radishes
1 ripe avocado
Fresh basil
1 bag of salad greens or rocket
1 lime
Olive oil
Salt and Pepper
To Make the Salad:
1. Place salad greens on platter.
2. Slice radishes. Cube mango, avocado and feta cheese and arrange all on top of the salad greens. Tear the basil leaves and add to the salad.
3. Dress with lime juice and olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Shelley's Notes:
1. I didn't have any radishes and improvised with some kobari (spelling?) It's a large radish-like vegetable, which I grated. I think radishes would have been better for the crunch factor and the dash of color would have looked good.
2. Other than that, I enjoyed the salad very much and would make it again.

J.A. Armitage
Featured Book: Two of Clubs
Hi, I'm so excited to be amongst some amazing authors in this box set. It's like finding myself at a party with Tori Amos providing the music, Jamie Oliver cooking the food, Stephen Fry sat at one side and Jack Black on the other.
How long have you been a writer and how did you come to writing? I first hit the publish button in January 2014 but I'd spent a whole year writing my first book before that. Nowadays I write much more quickly but back then it was a slow process. It probably didn't help that I was single parenting two very young children and being a surrogate for a friend. It was a lonely time so I wrote when the kids went to bed. My life is pretty great now and I've brought my writing with me into the good times.
How did you come up with this storyline? I've always loved fantasy so it was a no brainer that I'd write fantasy sooner or later. This particular story came to me as more of a concept than a story later. It occurred to me that there are 52 weeks in a year and 52 cards in a pack. One card for each week. I then thought that it would be pretty cool to write a story about the cards. In my book the cards are Royals. This book follows the Two of Clubs as she accidentally starts a war between the four ruling families, The Clubs, The Hearts, The Diamonds and The Spades. Each book is written as a different member of each family. Each book is a stand alone but they follow the arc of the war as it unfolds. Each book has seven chapters – one for each day of the week. Eventually, I hope to have 365 chapters over 52 books!
What are the best and the worst aspects of writing? I love writing. I wasn't much of a writer as a child but I was a voracious reader. I read to escape reality. I write for the same reason but I get to chose what direction the characters go in. The worst part for me is the lack of time. I want to write more and more and more!
What inspires you to write? Nothing inspires me to write as such. I just have stories rattling around in my head all the time, fighting to get out!
How did you conduct your research for The Two of Clubs (War and Suits book1)? 30 years of reading other author's work. As it's a fantasy, I've made up a lot of stuff. You'll meet new creatures and new food and new customs amongst other things.
What are 3 of your favorite quotes from The Two of Club? Thinking about it…
This is my favourite bit: ~ "She's a Heart!" I stated the obvious, knowing that Tarragon was fully aware that she was a Heart, and that was more than likely the reason he'd bedded her in the first place. ~ "Isn't this whole party thing to get the clans together so we can cooperate and live in a peaceful land? This is why we all come together at this time of year." He gave that leisurely grin that women of all races seemed to fall for. It wasn't going to work on me, though. I was mad! ~ "Yes, but I don't think that you are supposed to come together quite so literally!" "Or quite so many times," grinned Tarragon.
More Favorites from Two of Clubs: The Heart District is awesome in a steampunky kind of way – I'm not saying any more – You'll just have to read it.
What would your friends say is your best quality? I don't give up. Actually, that's what I say my best quality is. My friends would probably say my best quality is bringing them cake and wine! (If you can call that a quality!)
Are reader reviews important to you? My reviews keep me going. It's amazing just how much some nice words from a complete stranger can pick me up for the rest of the day. They inspire me to keep going.
What do you do when you don't write? I'm a graphic designer and wedding photographer as well as a mother. I also renovate houses. My favourite hobby is sleep lol!
Tell us about your other books? I have a Paranormal Romance series called Guardians of The Light which begins with a girl in a locked room. Her biggest problem isn't the door, it's what lies beyond. Talking of locked doors, my next series (The Labyrinthians) features plenty of them in the form of an underground maze with danger lurking around every corner. Finally, I've started a Cozy Mystery series (Murder at The Bite Cafe) which I hope to write book 2 in next year once I've written the first twelve of The Clubs stories.
If you could share one thing about yourself that you would like readers to know what would it be? I love getting emails oh and I've crush on Jack Black…shhh, don't tell everyone! Thanks for reading. I hope you enjoy the book. If you sign up to my mailing list, I'll let you know about an exclusive competition I'll be running throughout the whole series of War and Suits books.

Wilder: The Guardian Series by G.K. De Rosa
Award-Winning and Int'l Bestselling Author
All that Celeste Wilder ever wanted was to find someone who would sweep her off her feet like she had seen in countless romantic movies.
When she meets the gorgeous and mysterious Constantin brothers her senior year of high school, she gets much more than what she had bargained for. As they introduce her to an exciting supernatural world that she never imagined existed, she makes a startling discovery about her own family legacy and is forced to make a decision that will change her life forever.
Finally, she found the romance novel she wanted, the newest one from the series she had been obsessing over, and made her way to the checkout desk. She turned the corner and abruptly collided with someone. She dropped the book, which slapped against the marble floor with a disconcertingly loud thud, echoing through the cavernous room.
"Oh, I'm so sorry!" she blurted, without looking up as she bent down to pick it up. As she stood back up, her heart skipped a beat. Before her stood a towering, well-built young man with wavy, raven hair, chiseled jaw, and eyes as blue as the summer sky. Celeste felt her cheeks grow hot. Embarrassed, she flushed even redder.
"No problem. Sorry, I should have been watching where you were going, I guess," the stranger said, eyes twinkling.
Looking into those deep blue eyes, Celeste was completely at a loss for words. She watched helplessly as he walked away, disappearing further into the library.
G.K. De Rosa
Featured Book: Wilder: The Guardian Series
Hi all! I have to start off by saying I'm so glad this isn't an in-person interview or else you'd be seeing the huge bags under my eyes from all the sleepless nights I've been currently having. Nope it's not from spending hours at the computer writing – I like to think of them as my new mom badges of courage J I thought writing was hard until I had a baby! So there's a little bit about my personal life and now onto the fun bookish stuff.
How long have you been a writer and how did you come to writing? Technically speaking I'm pretty new to writing as I just wrote my first novel, Wilder in 2015. But when I was younger I used to love my Literature and English classes and wrote many essays, short stories, poems, etc. not to mention I did a ton of reading. I guess I got back into writing when I moved to NYC and started a restaurant review blog – food is my other passion J It reminded me how much I loved writing and then when I moved back to Florida (my hometown), I felt the creative juices flowing and decided to write a novel. It was really on a whim, I just sat down at my laptop and started typing.
How did you come up with this storyline? I've always been a fan of YA novels so that was a given, and I'm a total romantic at heart so there had to be some cute love story. Then coupled with my fascination of all supernatural TV shows, the idea for Wilder was born. I grew up watching Buffy The Vampire Slayer (tv show, not movie), Angel, and Charmed then got into The Vampire Diaries and True Blood. I'm a huge TVD fan and love the Elena and Damon storyline which is where I got a lot of inspiration for Celeste and (*spoiler*). But I didn't want Celeste to just be some powerless girl, I wanted her to be the kick-butt heroine.
What are the best and the worst aspects of writing? The best is definitely the ability to get lost in your imagination. It's such a cathartic experience to create characters and worlds that are instilled with bits and pieces of your own life. The worst is probably the editing! Going back over and over again until it's perfect – which we all know it never is.
What inspires you to write? My over-active 15 year old imagination. It's just so much fun for me and I absolutely love it!
How did you conduct your research for Wilder: The Guardian Series? Luckily I didn't have to do much research for Wilder. That's the beauty of fantasy, it doesn't have to be based on anything real. I was quite familiar with the vampire folklore and I added a few twists here and there. The Guardian mythology was also something I created so again not much research involved. In subsequent books in the series my main characters travel to various European locations that I've visited so again it's all from my personal experiences.
What are 3 of your favorite quotes from Wilder: The Guardian Series? Ooh that's a tough one! The most popular quote according to my readers is: ~ "Roman inhaled deeply as she walked in, her scent intoxicating. He could hear her heart racing and the blood pumping through her veins." And here are two of my favorites – of course they're lovey dovey ones: ~ "You are the one that needs to be careful Roman. You are falling in love with her." ~ "She smiled looking into his deep blue eyes feeling as though she were being swallowed up inside of them – wanting to be."
More Favorites from Wilder: The Guardian Series: A favorite excerpt: Finally, she found the romance novel she wanted, the newest one from the series she had been obsessing over, and made her way to the checkout desk.

She watched helplessly as he walked away, disappearing further into the library.
What would your friends say is your best quality? Probably my perpetually happy personality. I'm generally smiling and an easy going person. I love to laugh and have fun. Why spend your life being so serious all the time?
Are reader reviews important to you? Absolutely! As an author it's the only way to get feedback from your readers. Sometimes reviews can be harsh, but that's how you become a better writer.
What do you do when you don't write? I watch way too many TV shows! Well let me backtrack, I used to anyway. Now that I have a three month old, I spend every waking moment with him. I also have a German shepherd who was my first baby – our fur baby if you will and I love going on walks with him and my husband or sitting on the balcony in the sun.
Tell us about your other books? I finished the entire Guardian Series in July. There are 4 books in total – Wilder, Wilder Destiny, Wilder Revelation and Wilder Legacy plus a novella Finding Wilder. Writing the last book was bitter sweet, I didn't want it to end. The characters became like family to me and not writing about them anymore made me sad. And so I've decided to start on a spin-off series in the next few months. I'm super excited!
If you could share one thing about yourself that you would like readers to know what would it be? This is just a little something fun – as I mentioned I'm a huge Vampire Diaries fan and I totally love Ian Somerhalder (my husband is totally not jealous), who plays Damon Salvatore. So my friend and I went to a TVD convention right before I published Wilder and I brought a copy to give to Ian as a gift since it was his character and show that inspired my book. He was such a sweetheart and was really appreciative when I gave it to him and he asked me to sign it for him. So my first signature as an author was to Ian Somerhalder! And we even took pictures with him and Wilder
Thank you for this great interview and a huge thank you to all of my Wilder fans out there. Writing Wilder was the most fun I've ever had and the fact that I am now able to make a career out of it is incredible. It's proof that you can really love what you do. So everyone out there, follow your dreams and work hard and they'll become a reality. And of course go buy the Dark Legends collection – there are so many amazing authors and stories that you won't want to miss out on!
From an early age, G.K. De Rosa showed a passion for reading and a very vivid imagination. She was instilled with a love of storytelling by exemplary teachers in her early years of Catholic school and that first love was never forgotten. Though she pursued a degree in International Business from the University of Florida, she eventually came back to her creative writing roots years later. Drawn to young adult novels and being an eternal romantic at heart, an urban fantasy romance was a natural choice for her debut series. She currently lives in South Florida with her real life Prince Charming and their newborn as well as a fur baby, Nico, the German shepherd.
White Raven by J.L. Weil
Award-Winning and Int'l Bestselling Author
It only took one heartbeat to change my life–one chilling phone call in the middle of the night.
And then, as if my life didn't already suck, my dad sends my brother and me to some idyllic island for the summer to live with a grandma we never met. WTH. Naturally, I rebel. In the end, I find myself shipped off to Raven Hallow…and bored to tears.
Until I get an eyeful of the mind-bendingly gorgeous Zane Hunter. The dark-hair cutie makes my pulse go bonkers, and I think, maybe this might not be so bad after all. Six feet of swoon inducing looks, with a hint of Celtic charm in his voice, he was the type of guy that left a string of broken hearts in his wake. And I had all the heartbreak I could handle.
Yet, there is something uncanny, almost supernatural about Zane, and it's not just his devastating smirk. No matter how much distance I put between us, Raven Hallow isn't big enough, and the sparking tension between is undeniable. Of course, the one person I want to avoid becomes my salvation.
My past comes back to terrorize me. Someone wants me dead, and the closer I get to the truth, the more I realize my whole life is a lie. I am no longer sure what is more frightening–the attempts on my life or the guy whose heart and soul are synchronized with mine.
WHITE RAVEN is the enthralling first installment in The Raven series. A YA paranormal romance full of atmosphere, self-discovery, and love that will keep you captivated until the very last page.
TJ and Rose kept the conversation rolling as I gave the appropriate one-word responses or a head nod. I didn't have much of an appetite, mostly picking at my chicken Caesar salad and gazing out at the ocean, until…
His hair was black as a wintry night, eyes icy blue as a gypsy's heart. He had a lazy saunter about him and a glint of humor twinkling in those heart-melting eyes. There was nothing loose about his body, muscles bunching as he tethered a boat to the dock. I twiddled the straw, staring brazenly.
Good God. I wanted to have his babies. Not now, but most definitely someday. And just like that, my summer got a billion times hotter…and interesting—way more interesting. I bit my lip, mulling over how I was going to accidentally fall into his pants. Um—I mean path or even his lap would do, anything to get that one's attention.
Drool hit the table in a mad case of fangirl, and I didn't even know his name.
As if he sensed he was being slobbered over, his eyes scraped over me, and I held my breath. Holy hot tamales. An electric bolt of…lust maybe, I really didn't know what it was, but it coiled through my body, making me shudder. A flicker of an unidentified emotion crossed his face, right before a secret smile appeared on his lips. Oh man, don't get me started on his lips.
Elbows propped on the table, I rested my head on the edge of my palms, continually gazing and getting lost in the depths of his eyes. He hypnotized me. I followed his movements, my eyes glued to him. Then one of my elbows slipped off the table in classic Piper form, and down I went. I caught myself just before my chin whacked a corner of the patio table.
Only me.
Mortified, I closed my eyes.
TJ laughed. "Smooth, Pipe. I think you made a lasting impression."
J.L. Weil
Featured Book: White Raven
I am super thrilled to be a part of this amazing boxed set and be in the company of such awesome authors. For those of you who don't know me, my name is Jennifer Weil, but I write under J.L. Weil, and I'm most known for my Divisa Series.
Hello, Jennifer! How long have you been a writer and how did you come to writing?
For me, it all started because I love to read. I daydream a lot, and then one day, I started to write down the scenes running in my head. When I actually sat down to write my first book, I felt utterly ridiculous and excited at the same time. Luminescence was the end result, my very first novel. For the next two years, I literally wrote non-stop, releasing nine books. White Raven was my twelfth novel, and I currently have written a totally of fifteen books.
My publishing journey has had its ups and downs. I've learned so much, and most of it from trial and error (lots of error). I virtual knew nothing about self-publishing when I started, and even though I have done the traditional route, for me personally, self-publishing fits. I enjoy the creative freedom and flexibility of making my own schedule.
How did you come up with this storyline? Umm, I do a ton of daydreaming. Actually, I sleep with a notebook and a pen on my nightstand. There have been many times I've woken up and scratched something down. The fun part is trying to decipher it in the morning. I love myths and legends, particularly those Celtic inspired.
What are the best and the worst aspects of writing? I absolutely love being a writer. My favorite part would be sharing the excitement of something I created with my readers. I love the interaction and the shared love for the characters. It is absolutely amazing hearing how excited readers get for release day, and I definitely feed off the energy. It motivates me to keep writing. It's also pretty to cool to work in your PJ's and not have to care what my hair looks like.
Are there bad aspects of being a writer? For me personally, my biggest obstacle to overcome is negativity. I'm kind of a sensitive person, so developing a backbone has been a challenge. No matter how many hundreds of readers tell me how much they've enjoyed a book or loved a character, it only takes one negative comment. It doesn't always affect me in major ways, but it might stick with me, maybe sneak back while I'm writing.
For readers who don't know about your books, tell us a little about them? Romance is my favorite genre. And I adore young love. There is nothing better than exploring that first kiss, those intense crazy feelings, and being so blissfully in love that nothing else matters.
I love to write about headstrong females with smart mouths that get them in loads of trouble, and drool-worthy alpha males who get knocked on their butt all in the name of love. Add a bit of paranormal and magic to the mix and that's my recipe for a novel.
What do you think makes a good story? A really hot, mouth-watering bad boy. I am a sucker for them. The more possessive and snarky, the better. Lots of kissing and stuff, if you get my drift. I also like my heroine to be sassy and empowering.
Are you a Plotting (plot out) and Pantsing (free writing) writing? No plotting here. I pretty much fly by the seat of my pants. My style consists of a bunch of scribbled notes of ideas and scenes that come to me in the most inconvenient times, like when I'm stuck in traffic, in the shower, or waiting in line at the grocery store. Trying to piece those together in a story that flows can be interesting. Most of the time when I get to the end of a book, I'm shocked it all came together. I also think I suffer quite a bit from procrastination thanks to Twitter and Facebook.
What are 3 of your favorite quotes from White Raven? "I think you dropped something, Pipe," he said. "Uh, what?" "Your standards," he sneered."
"Oh, so suddenly you're an expert in crazy?" "After meeting you, I feel I could write a thesis on the subject."
"…I will be your sword. I will be your shield. I will defend you until my last breath. This vow I swear freely, to be your weapon as long as you shall live."
Who is your favorite character from White Raven and why? Zane Hunter. I love bad boys, and Zane being death reaper definitely has a bad side. I like to let my lead males be bad. The more trouble they cause the better. They're more fun that way!
Are reader reviews important to you? Extremely. I like knowing how the reader felt about the story, or if they connected with a certain character. Those are elements I want to know if they came across to the reader as I had hoped. For me, characterization is important, and I like to keep things as real as possible. I want the reader to forget it's a paranormal story. And of course lots of hot guys help. The feedback I get from readers helps me know areas I might need to pay more attention to. I want to grow as a writer with each book.
What are five facts readers might not know about you? 1. I am obsessed with tattoos and piercings. They can be found in almost all my stories. 2. Jensen Ackles is my celebrity crush. *sigh* 3. I love Celtic, magical, and mystical elements. 4. Green Bay Packers are my favorite team! 5. I'm shy and suck at chitchat.
Tell us about your other books? I have two other series besides the Raven Series. The Divisa series is about a half-demon and the girl he would risk everything to save. Chase and Angel have a unique bond. And through the series the bond only deepens, solidifying Angel to Chase and consequently to Hell. This series is filled with romance, action, challenges, death, and an unbreakable love. I have mad love for these two characters.
The Luminescence Trilogy was the first series I ever wrote and is packed with magic and young love. Brianna and Gavin captivate the pages of this series. In a journey self-discovery, Bri must learn to embrace the power inside her.
What are you currently working on? I am working on a new series, Beauty Never Dies Chronicles. It is a Dystopian Fantasy Romance with a fairytale spin. Slumber, book 1, will be out January 10, 2017.
Thanks for stopping by guys! I hope you'll check out Dark Legends and find yourself capture by the stories inside.
Award-winning and Bestselling author J.L. Weil writes Teen & New Adult Paranormal Romances about spunky, smart mouth girls who always wind up in dire situations.

They usually have what she considers the good stuff – sexual content (oh yeah) and swearing.

Is Ethereum More Important Than Bitcoin?
Blockchain technology, the distributed ledger system that underpins the digital currency Bitcoin, is getting a lot of attention from Wall Street lately. With uses ranging from cross-border payments to settlements and clearing of over-the-counter derivatives to streamlining back office processes, the potential for disruption in the financial industry and elsewhere is growing more real each day. While bitcoin is the most widely used and well known use case of blockchain, Ethereum may be the killer app that allows for this disruption to finally take place. (For related reading, see also: How Will Bitcoin 2.0 Change the World.)
The token native to the Ethereum blockchain, Ether (ETH), has recently risen to over $10 per ETH, and the market capitalization of all ether is nearly $800 million, making it the second most valuable blockchain behind bitcoin (which represents approximately $6.5 billion of value). What is Ethereum and why is it interesting?
A Brief Overview of Ethereum
Ethereum was developed to augment and improve on bitcoin, expanding its capabilities. Importantly, it was developed to feature prominently "smart contracts:" decentralized, self-executing agreements coded into the blockchain itself. Ethereum was first proposed by Vitalik Buterin in 2013 and went live with its first beta version in 2015. Its blockchain is built with a turing-complete scripting language that can simultaneously run such smart contracts across all nodes and achieve verifiable consensus without the need for a trusted third party such as a court, judge or legal system. According to its website, Ethereum can be used to "codify, decentralize, secure and trade just about anything." In late 2014, Ethereum raised over $18 million in bitcoin by way of a crowd sale to fund its development.
The 'Ethereum Virtual Machine' (EVM) is capable of running smart contracts that can represent financial agreements such as options contracts, swaps or coupon-paying bonds. It can also be used to execute bets and wagers, to fulfill employment contracts, to act as trusted escrow for the purchase of high value items, and to maintain a legitimate decentralized gambling facility. These are just a few examples of what is possible with smart contracts, and the potential to replace all sorts of legal, financial and social agreements is exciting.
Currently, the EVM is in its infancy, and running smart contracts is both "expensive" in terms of ether consumed, as well as limited in its processing power. According to its developers, the system is currently about as powerful as a late 1990s-era mobile phone. This, however, is likely to change as the protocol is developed further. To put this into perspective, the computer on the Apollo 11 lander had less power than a first-generation iPhone; it is certainly plausible that in a few short years, the EVM (or something like it) will be able to handle sophisticated smart contracts in real time.
Within the Ethereum ecosystem, ether exists as the internal cryptocurrency which is used to settle the outcomes of smart contracts executed within the protocol. Ether can be mined for and traded on cryptocurrency exchanges with bitcoin or fiat currencies such as US Dollars, and is also used to pay for computational effort employed by nodes on its blockchain.

text: My family is flying into Trenton for a wedding in September. We are staying in Philly 3 nights and need to figure out how to get there. We have 7 people right now. We have a couple older people with us too. What would you recommend? I have looked into renting a minivan ($185) but we have to pay for daily parking at the hotel ($40). Are there car services in the area? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Also any suggestions if we have more people, 13 I think, too. Thanks in advance.

Say the word 'tsunami', and the first thing that is likely to come to mind is the 2004 Boxing Day disaster in which 225,000 people in 11 countries lost their lives after an earthquake in the Indian Ocean unleashed towering waves up to 30m tall.
Calamities of that magnitude are, fortunately, rare. Officials in Greenland, however, are looking into the cost of protecting two of its most exposed ports against local tsunamis caused by landslides or rolling icebergs.
The largest such event took place in 2000, when a landslide on the Nuussuaq Peninsula created a wave that flooded an abandoned mining town and destroyed boats in the settlement of Saqqaq.
No-one was injured, but the experience now has the Self-Rule Authority looking into whether the ports in the towns of Uummannaq (see top video, at right) and Upernavik should be fitted with structures to prevent similar destruction in the event of a similar incident.
"Uuumannaaq and Upernavik are vulnerable to tsunamis and swells and should be protected. The possibility that either could occur has an impact on the two ports' development potential," concludes a report from Orbicon, a consultancy, compiled for the Self-Rule Authority.
The report estimates the cost of building wave-breaking piers to be at least 30 million kroner ($4.25 million) per port, both of which, according to Orbicon, risk flooding due to rolling icebergs.
Large waves from calving or rolling icebergs are common in Greenland's fjords, but they rarely cause damage. In 2002, however, an iceberg caught at the mouth of the Ilulissat Icefjord rolled, creating a wave that nearly trapped three Swedish kayakers and several fishing boats (see lower video, above right).
SEE RELATED: We interrupt this connection due to natural difficulties
Erik Bjerregaard, the manager of a local hotel, witnessed the situation from his home and told the Danish press at the time that it was the largest wave he had seen in the decade he had lived in the town to that point.
Scientists say similar waves can be expected on a regular basis, but something with a larger punch is unlikely to strike Greenland's coastal communities any time soon.
In 2005, a group of Danish experts, seeking to identify whether Denmark, Greenland or the Faroe Islands could be affected by a tsunami caused by an earthquake, landslide or asteroid impact, categorised such an incident as a '1000 year event'.

Trying to be better everyday... Not easy...
American2050 replied to American2050's topic in General DiscussionOhh ok. Yes that was other one I was having to change while updating to 1.11.2 the Chat messages. Interesting, and for sure, it makes things more clear and nice looking.
American2050 posted a topic in General DiscussionI was wondering why between version and versions we get minor changes like 1.10.2 Minecraft.getMinecraft().theWorld; 1.11.2 Minecraft.getMinecraft().world; Is it really that important to rename those things, what's the overall idea behind this changes? Well, just wondering this, thanks for the feedback.
Thanks a lot I will go slow and step by step with this, there is a lot to consider for redstone from what I have seen so far, so making sure each step is correct it crucial specially when I want some custom behavior
It uses the IBlockColor interface. Do you mean a new Block when you say variation? . Yes I'm playing around with the redstone to create a different one with another color as for now I'm using the vanilla textures and most of the vanilla code, but I noticed that no color on the block once its placed on the world.
American2050 posted a topic in Modder SupportI was looking at redstone wire, and I'm not sure how it gets the red color, as the png for it is just shades of grays/white Can anyone help me understand how it gets it's color and how could I make it use a different color for a variation I want to make. Thanks a lot.
American2050 replied to American2050's topic in Modder SupportAs for now I'm testing with GameRegistry.register(new ItemColored(block, true).setRegistryName(block.getRegistryName())); They each get a meta now. Yes each of them with have a model that will be parent to the vanilla colored clay blocks. I'm gonna start doing some of the jsons so I can tell what else I'm missing so far. What I notice is that even each having its own meta, they all default to "White" when placed, but I'm gonna figure that out later Thanks a lot for the help, will let you know how it goes.
American2050 replied to American2050's topic in Modder SupportSo I should create a class for my ItemBlocks and set there the meta for each color?
American2050 posted a topic in Modder SupportSo, I was trying to figure this out, but I'm not sure what steps I need to add to the register of my blocks, I know I'm missing something, but not sure what and where. I'm trying to register colored buttons, I do get the buttons to show on inventory (Not render yet I haven't got to that point) I know I'm missing something as all the buttons show with the same name and not an specific meta like the clay blocks do. This is how I'm registering them. And this is the Block Class: Can I have some help on the missing steps? I will for sure need some help with the jsons, but that's later, first I want to know what I'm missing here as I'm not sure why the don't show a meta for each when I look at them in inventory.
American2050 replied to American2050's topic in Support & Bug ReportsSounds scary, but I guess I will have to give it a try at some point. I would love to help on stuff like this All the things we do using the bot anyway get reviewed by a person right?

I have made an update for 1.11 and 1.11.2 in there I'm using: entityX1 = new EntityElderGuardian(world);Stuff.setEntityPos(entityX1, pos.getX(), pos.getY(), pos.getZ());world.spawnEntityInWorld(entityX1); So yes there the Elder Guardian is on his own class. I got that report from someone playing on a server, so I assume they were using the right version of the mod. I will try to reproduce it and see what was going on.
American2050 replied to American2050's topic in Modder SupportI'm calling it on an event: @SubscribeEvent public void onEntityTick(LivingEvent event) After checking all this is meet: Entity theEntity = event.getEntity(); World theWorld = theEntity.worldObj; BlockPos thePosition = new BlockPos(theEntity.posX, theEntity.posY, theEntity.posZ); if(!theWorld.isRemote){ if(theEntity!=null && theEntity instanceof EntityPig){ if(theEntity.hasCustomName()){ if(Utilities.isValidPigName(theEntity.getCustomNameTag())) { So basically any Pig in game named certain names will call this code (As for now it's setting the value over and over, I know, but once I know I'm doing it right, I will check all this in my TODO list:

'Pecking Order' Scores Blue Ribbon Hilarity For Its Look at Competitive Chicken Breeding
Get a small group of people together with a common interest, it's going to get competitive. Give it a little time, it'll get political and weird, too. Christopher Guest's Best In Show is the epitome of competitive subculture movies, barking up the tree of conformation dog shows. But if you thought dog shows were weird, you haven't lived till you've seen a chicken pageant. While Best in Show is a mockumentary, Pecking Order is the real thing. Watching the chicken breeders of Christchurch, New Zealand strut, preen and scheme against one another is giddily surreal, enough to make you cluck and crow.
Facehug Your #AlienDay With 'Aliens: Dead Orbit #1' On The Wednesday Run
We're told that "in space, no one can hear you scream."
Here on planet earth, it's a different story! Screams of fright, horror and joy abound when we're talking about the Alien film franchise. You know, the one made famous by directors Ridley Scott and James Cameron: Alien in 1979 and Aliens in 1986. They were the first R-rated films that an under-age me needed to see. Well, those two and Canadian classic, Porky's.
Those two highlight films have spun-off a flurry of pop culture gold that includes five other Alien-centered films of varying quality (two of which enthusiastically co-star the sci-fi classic Predator creature) with a new and eagerly-anticipated film in the horror franchise only a month away from release.
There's even a day of the year dedicated to the Alien franchise, an unofficial holiday for fans around this planet: #AlienDay is today, April 26! Tweet out those chest-busters!
With pop culture supremacy, of course, come loads of comic books. Appropriately, then, today sees the release of the first issue of a new mini-series…Aliens: Dead Orbit #1, the perfect accompaniment to a day dedicated to everyone's favourite xenomorph!
Spooky 'Room 213' is a Family-Friendly Ghost Story at TIFF Kids Fest
The TIFF Kids International Film Festival is close to wrapping up, but there's a few gems that are still worth checking out. While teens are unlikely to be moved by the charmingly chill ghost flick Room 213, it's perfect for a younger audience, with a simple story and zero horror histrionics.
'My Entire High School Sinking Into the Sea': Dash Shaw Lands Quirky Animated Debut
High school dramas are back with a vengeance. There's the noir soap opera shenanigans of Archie, Betty and Veronica on Riverdale, and the sharply observed teen pathos of Thirteen Reasons Why. Both series paint a portrait of high school about fifty shades darker than the quaint distractions of a John Hughes movie. Out on the big screen in limited release this weekend is My Entire High School Sinking Into the Sea, joining the class of 2017 with a surrealistic romp fusing teen comedy and disaster movies to hilarious effect.
Creations of Chaos: 'My Neighbor Totoro'
There are parodies, countless mash-up tees, and more merchandise than your wallet could ever afford. On this edition of Creations of Chaos, it is the most recognizable, cutest, and fuzziest character in the Studio Ghibli world, it's My Neighbor Totoro.
Black Code dissects the internet's social dilemma
You know you've done it. You're breezing through Twitter, and some outrageous post pisses you off. You retweet it with a snarky comment, probably signing off with a SMH or FFS. You're still riled, so you repost it to Facebook. People start commenting, tempers flare. Friends are texting you. Meanwhile, you're hopping off the bus and headed to a restaurant, checking in your location on Facebook, hardly thinking about the myriad crumbs you've left in your wake, info bits awash in the net's digital ocean. "Digital exhaust" is what Prof. Ron Diebert calls it, the ephemera of our constant internet output waiting to be hoovered up and fed into patterns that reveal more than you could possibly imagine. It's bad enough here, where we mostly fret about corporations assembling minutely accurate portraits of our likes and dislikes to sell us more stuff. In other places, the governments actively use Facebook and other internet media to mislead and pinpoint activists and critics, rounding them up and arresting them. In some countries, posting the wrong thing can get you killed.
I got the chance to catch Nicholas de Pencier's documentary Black Code as part of TIFF's Human Rights Watch Film Festival, where he and Prof. Diebert engaged in a Q&A after the screening. The doc has been playing the festival circuit, and it's well worth checking out, if you want to stress out about how piss-poor your digital security practices probably are. The film was released in 2016, and speaking about its concerns in a contemporary context, it was clear both men recognized how the intervening year has only made their film even more painfully relevant.
David Lynch: The Art Life
There's nothing quite like a David Lynch movie. You know the second you find yourself immersed in one of his unsettling worlds, the strange blend of earnest innocence and churning malevolence vying against one another, light and dark and laughter and horror and violence but especially the eeriness. Nobody but nobody does eerie like David Lynch. Which makes David Lynch: The Art Life so fascinating, a movie about a movie-maker that takes up all the stuff he does other than movies.
Affable Chokeslam Taps Out in Quest For Rom-Com Wrestlemania
The world doesn't need another milquetoast Canadian indie comedy. But it's a national specialty, so they keep coming around, safe, inoffensive, government-funded and mildly amusing. Unfortunately for Chokeslam, safe and inoffensive aren't the words you want to hear about a wrestling comedy, even if it aspires to the romantic variety. Director Robert Cuffley's attempts to fuse the world of wrestling with the genre clichés of rom-com make for a cute, unassuming yarn that never quite gets off the mat.
'Tickling Giants': Documentary Reveals Bassem Youssef's Comedy Revolution
Remember the Arab Spring? That democratic fluorescence that erupted in late 2010 in Tunisia and spread with massive demonstrations to Egypt, Syria, Yemen, Libya and Iraq? It was a giddy, dangerous time when a predominantly youth movement rose up against autocratic regimes steeped in conservative Islamic ideology. Through riots and violent government crackdowns, people poured into the streets pressing for change. In Egypt, Bassem Youssef was one of the unlikely people at the forefront of the massive cultural shift. A heart surgeon turned satirical TV host, Youssef was dubbed the Egyptian Jon Stewart. Tickling Giants, the documentary from Sara Taksler, follows Youssef's meteoric rise and lamentable fall, as a funny, principled man becomes an enemy of the state. As Donald Trump demonizes the media in America, Tickling Giants is even more resonant than when it debuted at festivals last year, revealing both the power of satire and its harsh limitations.
The Ten Percent: Come and See (1985)
"Ninety percent of everything is crud." – Theodore Sturgeon
Welcome back to "The Ten Percent," a regular column where every other week K. Dale Koontz and I take a look at the inverse of Sturgeon's Law; in other words, the small portion of everything which is not crud. So many films premiere each year, but only a very few are remembered and revered years later. That's not a matter of genre – the Ten Percent is a big tent, with plenty of room for comedy, drama, horror, animation, musical, science fiction and many more. But admission into the tent is not easy to come by. Films in this category last because they are high quality productions which demand more of their viewer than simple passive reception.
Elim Klimov's Come and See (1985) takes its place in an unusual corner of the Ten Percent. A place for works of art that are so powerful, so honest, and so terrible that they absolutely must be seen, but which are also so psychologically and emotionally intense that they are revisited only rarely. The late Roger Ebert wrote that Come and See "is one of the most devastating films ever about anything, and in it, the survivors must envy the dead," while Mark Cousins called Come and See "the greatest war film ever made." Both are correct.

Definition of 'autotransformer'
a transformer with at least part of the windings common to both the primary and the secondary circuits
Webster's New World College Dictionary, 4th Edition. Copyright © 2010 by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. All rights reserved.
Word Frequency
autotransformer in Electrical Engineering (ɔtoʊtrænsfɔrmər)
Word forms: (regular plural) autotransformers
( Electrical engineering : Electrical power , Transformers )
An autotransformer is a transformer in which part of the winding is common to both primary and secondary circuits.
These chargers use an autotransformer in which the primary and secondary windings are electrically connected.
Not all the power traveling from the primary to secondary winding of the autotransformer goes through the windings, so it can handle more power than a standard transformer, with the same windings.
An autotransformer is a transformer in which part of the winding is common to both primary and secondary circuits.

Vegan Chocolate Mousse
Vegan Chocolate Mousse? Is that possible? I have been baking for a while now and I think I have tried a few things: I have baked cakes with so many different flours and sugars, I tried EVERY coconut product on the market and I also added funky vegetables to cakes in order to improve texture. So last week when someone told me that chickpea water (yes that bizarre liquid you discard in your sink when you open a can of chickpeas) can be whipped like egg whites I was amazed. How come Had I never heard of it?No surprise: I went home for the weekend and I was committed to making a chocolate mousse using chickpea water for brunch. And so this vegan chocolate mousse was born. The secret is using good chocolate: sweet potatoes bring creaminess and sweetness, while chickpea water gives some … [Read more...]
