Item Description...
"Like the slow rising of the river after an early snow melt in the mountains, he seeped into my life; unhurried, almost without notice, until the strength and breadth of him covered everything that had once been familiar, made it different, new over old." Based on historical characters and events, A SWEETNESS TO THE SOUL recounts the captivating story of young, spirited Oregon pioneer Jane Herbert who at the age of twelve faces a tragedy which begins a life-long search for forgiveness and love. Filled with heart-warming insight and glimpses of real-life pain, this book paints a brilliant picture of love that conquers all obstacles and offers a powerful testimony to the miracle of God's healing power. The author's research gives the book depth; her empathy gives it a soul.

Current croissant situation: Unchanged. Going for a record here. Literally I walk into my usual pain au chocolat place on the way to work and it's always the same guy behind the counter — he hands me the goods, I hand him the coins, we nod, we part ways. It's the best relationship I've ever been in.
Current bookstore situation: The other day I was headed into St-Germain-Des-Pres to meet up with a friend, and I turned a corner and suddenly there were bookstores everywhere. English-language bookstores. California-themed English-language bookstores. One was called San Francisco Book Company, another was Berkeley Books. One thing that blows my mind about Paris is that whenever I start to feel homesick for something specific — a bookstore, a normal-sized cup of coffee, doughnuts — I feel like I'll turn a corner and suddenly, whatever it is that I've been missing will suddenly be there. I'm hoping this happens soon with Mexican food.
Current bike-riding situation: I'm not a huge bike person — in fact I spent most of my freshman year of college riding my bike around in terror, fully expecting to bring some sort of terrible accident upon myself or others — but for some reason, being in Paris makes me really, really want to ride a bike. It's probably all of the people riding around with baguettes in their bike baskets (French people really do carry around baguettes as much as the stereotypes would suggest). So I took a day trip up to Deauville the other day, a tiny little beach town in the north of France, and rented a bike for about three hours. The neighborhood was adorable and very flat and easy to ride around, and the weather was perfect, and hardly any cars were around, and a few kids ran away from me and my bike in terror at one point, and it was a very idyllic afternoon. And true to form, towards the end of my bike ride, when I was approaching the rental shop, I was thinking about how proud I was that I hadn't crashed or hurt myself or anyone, and at that exact moment I came within centimeters of crashing directly into a tree. Jackie travels!
Current vocabulary situation: Only one today, because it's a good one: paperclip is trombone, because paperclips are shaped like little trombones. This is the cutest thing I have ever heard in my entire life.
Current French shoes situation: I wanted French shoes, I searched for French shoes, I finally found and drooled over and BOUGHT French shoes. And they are good, you guys. I actually saw a girl trying them on in a shoe store, and then literally stalked her around the store until she asked me if I needed help and I asked her where she found the shoes. I may be a creep, but I get the job done.
Current back pain situation: Bad. I've mentioned here briefly that I've been suffering from chronic back pain for several months now, and it only seems to be getting more frequent and slightly worse. At this point, my back hurts at night so much sometimes that it wakes me up. One of the only reasons I am excited to return to New York is that I can see my doctor again to get this figured out. I'm also thinking of trying acupuncture for the first time, though I've never really enjoyed the thought of strangers sticking needles into me, particularly now that I've been listening to so many murder podcasts.
Current murder podcast situation: Guys, I've been listening to Casefile, a podcast about true crime (I think it's at least 95%, if not 100%, murder related) and it's so good. The narrator has a very strong Australian accent, and many of the crimes took place in Australia, and if you know anything about the weird type of shit that goes down in Australia, that will tell you something about these crimes. My favorites are: The Somerton Man (this one is a great and truly frustrating mystery); Katherine Knight (one of the most famous – and intense – murders in Australia); and The Weepy-Voiced Killer (Pro: all the stuff that good scary stories are made of. Con: is so scary that it will keep you awake for the rest of your life, probably).
This is my second to last weekend in Paris! I can't believe it. I need to buy another suitcase this weekend, start cleaning the apartment (shockingly no wine stains to clean up — although I guess I have two weeks left, shouldn't speak so soon), make a trip over to the Musee D'Orsay (only went once, when I was around 21 I think), and if the weather is nice, I'm going to try to soak up the sun in Bois de Boulogne with my French Harry Potter book.

The whole trip was a wonderful adventure, and we really appreciate the time and effort gone into the planning and execution of everything! It was the trip of a lifetime – thanks to everyone involved!
J & J Simon, The Silk Road by Private Train
These Small Group Journeys are the most intimate trips Captain's Choice has to offer. With a group size limited to 18 or less, it is very much an exclusive club, where the like-minded come together to share experiences that are never ordinary.
Captain's Choice travellers are remarkably easy going and friendly. But to make it easier for you to meet your fellow solo travellers, you will be invited to a solo travellers-only welcome reception at the start of the journey. Our naturally engaging World Hosts love to chat or share a meal, but are empathetic enough to know when you want some time alone.
Our adventure begins. We depart Australia bound for Kolkata and its tropical warmth. Locals are known to keep cool in style wearing traditional white kurtas, collarless cotton shirts that make the most of the breezes blowing in from the Bay of Bengal. We arrive late in the evening, and are whisked directly to the Oberoi Grand, our home for two nights. Built in the 1880s, the hotel is known for its colonial-era interiors, exquisite handmade wood furniture and exceptional dining, having played host to countless dinner parties since the time of the British Raj.
Today, we dive headlong into Kolkata's juxtaposition of British colonial buildings and raucous street life. Our guide takes us to the Victoria Memorial, where 25 galleries display portraits and relics of Queen Victoria's reign. At St Paul's Cathedral, marvel at its Indo-Gothic architecture. Next, we visit Mother Teresa's House, the simple home where she lived, and where her tomb is placed. It is an oasis of calm in the otherwise busy city. This evening, we enjoy our hotel's legendary hospitality at a special welcome feast.
Our flight takes us to Bagdogra, a town in the Darjeeling district. A road journey then brings us to our destination, located in the lesser Himalayas. Darjeeling is incredibly picturesque but, at 2,042 metres in altitude, a mere foothill in the Himalayas. Rolling hills covered in tea plantations extend as far as the eye can see, while the Himalayas form a snowy backdrop. Our hotel tonight is the Windamere Heritage Hotel. Once a boarding house for English and Scottish tea planters, it has been converted into cosy rooms with colonial-era furnishings.
Our full day in Darjeeling begins with a choice of Your World experiences.
In the afternoon, we call in at the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute, the Himalayan Zoological Park, the Tibetan Refugee Self-Help Centre and a tea plantation to see famed Darjeeling tea being picked and processed.
After an early breakfast at the hotel we leave for Phuntsholing, a border town in Southern Bhutan. Though India is only a stone's throw away, the mood and vibe of this town is decidedly different. We check in to Hotel Druk before setting off to explore. Our destination, the Kharbandi Monastery. Known for long lines of prayer flags, enormous prayer wheels and clanging bells, the place breathes spirituality.
We return to our hotel for dinner. Take the chance to sample all the Bhutanese dishes on offer.
The incredible rugged geography of Bhutan is on show today as we undertake a scenic drive to Thimphu. The mostly uphill journey leaves the tropical lowlands for pine forests and steep slopes with plunging ravines. Thimphu retains a rustic air and the spiritual informs every aspect of life. We visit Kuensel Phodrang, a colossal statue of Buddha that houses within it a hundred thousand smaller statues. From this hilltop, we have breathtaking views of the Thimphu Valley.
The Taj Tashi Hotel welcomes us for the next three nights. The hotel specialises in authentic Bhutanese cuisine, as well as exotic Tibetan and European dishes and tonight, a special dinner awaits.
Today, Thimphu's main sites draw our attention. The National Memorial Chorten, honouring their third king, is part of many people's daily worship. We linger for a while, watching its steady stream of visitors come and go. Then it's on to the National Library and the Institute of Zorig Chusum, which teaches the 13 traditional arts to Bhutan's next generation. At the Motithang Takin Preserve, we glimpse the rare takin. It is a goat-antelope found only in the eastern Himalayas and also Bhutan's national animal. Then, at the handicrafts emporium, pick up finely crafted examples of the traditional arts you witnessed earlier - Bhutanese embroidery and fabrics are truly a sight to behold.
This morning, we see more of the country's spectacular landscapes as we drive from Thimphu to Punakha. We steadily gain altitude towards the Dochula Pass. If the weather is clear, look northeast to see the eastern Himalayas and Gangkhar Puensum mountain. At 7,570 metres, it is Bhutan's highest mountain. After we go over the pass, the road winds down through conifers and rhododendrons. At the confluence of the Sankosh and Tangmachu rivers, look up to see the white walls of Wangdue Phodrang Dzong watching over the valley below. The dzong is a monastery-fortress, usually built on high ground, and every region has one.
We stop for lunch on this beautiful spot, then drive on to Punakha. The dzong here sits on the riverbanks of the Pho Chhu (father) and Mo Chhu (mother) rivers surrounded by jacaranda trees. It is here that the head monk of Bhutan and his retinue spend their summers. This evening, we return to Thimphu, retiring early in anticipation of tomorrow's scenic drive to Paro.
The National Museum of Bhutan, located in Paro's Ta Dzong watchtower is our first stop of the day. A cultural museum, it houses some of the finest examples of Bhutanese art. After the museum, we move on to our next stop, Rinpung Dzong. Built in 1644, it houses the district's monks. Kyichu Lhakhang is our next port of call, and one well worth visiting. Built in the 7th century, it is one of the oldest temples in Bhutan. It is said that Tibet's first Buddhist king built the temple over an ogress' foot to prevent her from creating chaos. After lunch, we test our skills at the country's national sport of archery, on a sporting ground reserved exclusively for us. Elite archers demonstrate their expertise and give us tutorials, before we are set free for a friendly match with locals. This is a rare opportunity to be a part of Bhutanese culture. We call Zhiwa Ling Hotel home for the next two nights. Built by hand from 450-year-old wood, it combines traditional architecture with modern creature comforts. Tonight we enjoy dinner in the intimate atmosphere of the hotel's restaurant.
When shrouded in cloud, the sacred Taktsang monastery, or Tiger's Nest, built into vertical cliffs 900 metres above Paro Valley, paints a beautifully melancholic picture. According to legend, Guru Padmasambhava, the guardian deity of Bhutan, meditated here for three years, three months, three weeks, three days and three hours. To visit, we must hike up from the valley floor. While slightly strenuous, the walk itself is meditative and offers unmatched views of the valley below.
After lunching at our hotel we visit a traditional farmhouse. These pretty houses dot the countryside and are typically built without nails. Striking wooden frames, hand carved and painted with colourful Buddhist motifs, feature. This evening, we dine in our hotel.
We depart Paro and fly to the capital of Nepal, Kathmandu. The city is the centre of Nepali history, art and culture, and is a place of riotous colour and sound. Our home for the next two nights is the Hyatt Regency Hotel. In the afternoon, we visit Boudhanath Stupa, a World Heritage-listed Buddhist monument that dominates Kathmandu's skyline. Spend the rest of afternoon at your leisure, in anticipation of tomorrow's discoveries.
Start the day spectacularly with a once-in-a-lifetime flight over Mt Everest, the mountain to top all mountains. Soak in views of Lhotse, Makalu and the countless other peaks populating the horizon. Exhilarated by our morning, we now explore Kathmandu's surroundings, beginning with old Bhaktapur. It was the capital of Nepal until the second half of the 15th century, and has the most exquisitely preserved temples, palace courtyards and statues. While the earthquake in 2015 damaged some of the buildings, most are intact. We drive on to the neighbouring town of Patan, also known as Lalitpur, the city of beauty. Gazing at the Krishna Temple in Patan Durbar Square, it's easy to understand why.
This morning, we board a short flight to Bharatpur. On arrival, we drive to Royal Chitwan National Park, whose name means 'heart of the jungle'. Within it, you'll find one-horned rhinoceroses, deer, monkeys and the occasional leopard and Bengal tiger. Explore the area with these Your World experiences.
This evening we see a performance of Tharu dance. The Tharu people call themselves the 'people of the forest', and have kept to their agricultural life within Chitwan. Tonight, we stay at Kasara Jungle Resort, surrounded by lush, green trees as far as the eye can see.
Spend the morning in our resort. The day continues with an unbelievably scenic drive to Pokhara. Along the way, we admire the Nepali countryside and pretty villages perched on rolling hillsides. We stop for lunch at an authentically local riverside restaurant. In Pokhara, visit the local market, which stocks incredibly detailed crafts made by locals.
Our home for two nights is the Fish Tail Lodge, on the edge of Fewa Lake. The lodge is named after Mt Machapuchare which dominates the view across the water. Dinner tonight is at a local restaurant.
Start the day with one of these eye-opening Your World experiences, all of which allow you to take in breathtaking views of Pokhara.
Lunch is at a local restaurant before a visit to the Bindebasini Temple, one of the holiest places for Hindus in Nepal. The afternoon takes us to Gupteswar Cave, a city shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva. We finish a full day by relaxing on a boat ride across Fewa Lake before adjourning to the hotel for dinner.
We return to Kathmandu by plane this morning. If the clouds co-operate, we have magnificent views of Annapurna. When we arrive, we check in once again to the Hyatt Regency. In town, we visit Kathmandu Durbar Square. Nearby is the house of the Kumari Devi, a young girl believed to be a living incarnation of the goddess Durga. While she is not guaranteed to appear in the window, the elaborately decorated house façade is a sight in itself. On a rickshaw ride through Thamel, we immerse ourselves in the city's sights and sounds. Our last stop of the day is the Swayambhunath Temple. Here, ancient carvings and incense permeate every space, and above it all is a stupa painted with the eyes of Buddha.
Dinner tonight is at Gokarna House Restaurant. A true cultural experience, it is where we taste beautiful Nepali food while a stage show depicts the country's culture and traditions.
Lhasa is an otherworldly place. Set in the centre of the Tibetan Plateau, it is surrounded by mountains over 5,000 metres in height. The red and white Potala Palace rises above the old city, where traditional Tibetan life continues as it has for over a thousand years. We arrive here after our flight from Kathmandu, then travel by road past nomadic herders and their yaks. We check into the St Regis Hotel for three nights. Spend the afternoon at leisure to acclimatise to the altitude.
Today we head to the Jokhang Temple, the most sacred in Tibet. The temple is encircled by Barkhor Street, which pilgrims circumambulate in a clockwise direction as part of their worship. The street is a bustling place and incongruously, a major marketplace with traders from all over the country. The Sera Monastery, one of the three most important teaching monasteries in Tibet, used to be home to 5,000 monks, but many fled to India after the 1959 Tibetan Rebellion. The community is now much smaller, but despite that, still holds lively debates, complete with wild gestures and hand slapping, a unique sight to behold.
This morning, Potala Palace's magnificence demands our immediate attention. Once the residence of the Dalai Lama, it contains over 1,000 rooms, 10,000 shrines and 200,000 statues. Its interiors are covered in rich, colourful carvings, gilding, sacred paintings and embroidered coverings. In the afternoon, we visit Norbulingka, which was the Dalai Lama's summer home. The compound holds palaces, chapels and pavilions surrounded by man made lakes and gardens. In the evening we celebrate the end of our journey with a gala dinner accompanied by riveting performances of Tibetan music and dance.
On this journey, we have explored magnificent parts of the world often hidden from outsiders. We wake to one final morning in Lhasa before our trip ends.
Sometimes travelling can be a chore, distracting you from the fascinating places you are in. That's why everything mundane has been moved behind the scenes. You will never have to carry a map, luggage, small change for tips or bargain for a taxi fare.
There are no hidden costs. Everything is included – flights and other travel arrangements, luxurious accommodation, travel insurance, all dining and drinks, and even sightseeing trips. Even the Your World experiences within your itinerary and internet access when available.
Welcome to your homes away from home. Each one has a certain something that sets it apart from every other residence at its location. Whether for its history, cultural significance or natural setting, we've selected only the very best.
Bhutanese dzong architecture is taken to new heights at the Taj Tashi, atmospherically set in the meditative Thimphu Valley. Hand-drawn Buddhist murals adorn its walls, and stone terraces with fire pits invite you to linger. Every room looks out onto mountains lyrically cloaked in fog and the town set prettily below.
Zhiwa Ling must have commissioned the finest builders and artisans in all of Bhutan, for it is a rich and traditionally accurate example of the intricately carved, painted woodwork the country is renowned for. We are placed in Junior Suites, each featuring a generous living area and private balcony that frames the gorgeous Paro Valley.
Set in the lush heart of Chitwan National Park, our resort is both luxurious and respectful of nature. Each generous room comes with a private water garden, indoor-outdoor bathroom and a sun deck, while inside, white walls and light woods create a zen-like atmosphere.

To Islanders, the debate over the Cape Wind plan for Horseshoe Shoal in Nantucket Sound was a curiosity, except to fervent wind energy enthusiasts.
Proposals to locate wind turbine installations in Buzzards Bay, some in the western reaches of the bay visible from Cuttyhunk Island, some of them close to the North Shore of Naushon Island stimulated even less concern among us. Cuttyhunk and Naushon are parts of the Elizabeth Islands, which is Gosnold, the sixth Dukes County town.
There was some disdain here for the not-in-our-backyard arguments made against Cape Wind by waterfront property owners in the Hyannis/Hyannisport area and by business interests who complained that the wind farm's aesthetic assault would diminish the shorefront owners' enjoyment of their property and the desirability of the Cape as a tourist destination. There was no concern at all for those on private Naushon or sparsely populated Cuttyhunk whose enjoyment of their waterfront might be diminished.
The arguments of fishermen, commercial and sport, of bird lovers, of sailors and of all the others with some sort of stake, however loosely defined, in Horseshoe Shoal and Buzzards Bay attracted few adherents. Those arguments were familiar to Island environmentalists, but neither enlightening nor compelling from the typical Vineyarder's vantage point.
That's all changed now. Massachusetts has plans to promote and control industrial development, including wind farms and mining, in nearshore areas around the Vineyard and greater Dukes County and for control, if it is not asserted by local towns and the region, over even some land-based wind turbine installations.
Now, Islanders have been politically electrified – no fossil fuels needed. Under the banner of local control, we demand ultimate authority over the disposition and development of such commercial, industrial enterprises. The state has ceded some authority to the towns and the Martha's Vineyard Commission to define the acceptable scope of such developments, but not the veto power Islanders want. Friday, an Island delegation determined to wrest authority from the state met with Ian Bowles, secretary of the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs who is determined to push the state into the national forefront of renewable energy, as well as the development of the technology on which such carbon-free energy sources depend. The Islanders came away dissatisfied with the concessions Mr. Bowles has been willing to make.
For many of those who have organized the effort to gain maximum local control over wind energy projects in nearby state waters, the superficial argument is that Islanders should decide what affects them. In fact, the underlying motivation is the determination to block developments that will change what we see and hear when we look out from the shore. It is a not-in-our-backyard argument.
And, that's exactly the right argument for Islanders to make. The calculations that must form the foundation for a decision on such things as wind energy developments on or near the shores of Dukes County are tricky and crucial. As this page has argued repeatedly, clean, lovely, wild places are to be preserved and protected, not developed. This is especially true of wild places that serve large populations as resources for recreation, renewal, and adventure. Buzzards Bay, Vineyard Sound, Nantucket Sound and the ocean reaches south and west of Gay Head are such places. Should Islanders endorse the development of wind energy industry in such places, in exchange for renewable energy contributions that the most enthusiastic supporters of carbon free power acknowledge will be extremely modest, even looking decades ahead. They should not.
Industrial producers of electricity in the developed countries are investing huge sums to clean the emissions from their power plants. Massachusetts is already a leader in cleaner energy production, because state environmental laws have hastened a switch from oil to gas for electricity generation. In the aggregate, worldwide investment in new technologies to improve their old technology plants, without including government incentives such as production tax credits and innovation grants directed at these non-renewable technologies, dwarfs worldwide expenditures to develop efficient and substantial wind energy generation. Wind is hot now, but competition for clean and more easily scalable power creation is likely to dim rather than brighten its future. Kept clean, wild, and free from development, the bays, sounds, and ocean waters around Dukes County will retain their premium value.
Then there is the economic argument. The beauty of the ocean shore is an asset of the Vineyard economy. We comfortably and repeatedly value it as priceless. In fact, there may be a way to establish a dollar valued on the view from Gay Head or on a sail from Edgartown to Nantucket when the sailor has the brief sense of being out of sight of land, or on the solitary lobsterman pulling his pots early on a June morning a mile or two south of the Vineyard, or on the pleasure a summer beachgoer takes in contemplating the vacant expanse of ocean that connects her to the coast of Africa. But, whether there is or not, it is beyond a doubt that the dollars and sense value of wind farms in Dukes County waters will compare unfavorably to the result.
That's why residents of the Vineyard, making their own insular cost-benefit analysis, recognizing the uncertainties facing wind energy producers and the competition from other renewable energy sources, as well as the potential for technological advances in the use of non-renewables for electric generation, and then recognizing the immense value of what they have in their backyard and offer annually to their visitors, say not here. It's a bad deal.

text: I do not know if I am in the right place, but with some assistance maybe some one can help me. I am a newlywed, and I adore my Sweetie's ... I spoil her everyday. Already in her stocking are big ticket items, jewelry, keys to new vehicle, and a trip around the world. She has no idea about any of the above mentioned gifts, so I asked her what she would like, so she sent me a list of Coach items. She is very simple, and does not request anything at all I just love to surprise her. She made a registry and I ordered everything. My executive assistant expressed to me that some of the items are in separate lines within Coach. So I wonder how should we group the items, so that they are received properly. Here's what I have to sort so far: Legacy Lily Bags in Atlantic, Whiskey and Walnut Tattersal Coat Tattersal Trilby Bleeker Tattersal Travel Tote Bleeker Tattersal Large Beauty Case Legacy Ponytail Scarf Bleeker Tattersal Pouch Keyfob Bleeker Tattersal Ponytail Scarf Tattersal Folding Umbrella Bleeker Tattersal Flat wristlet Bleeker Tattersal Scarf Signature Locket Keyfob Bleeker Tattersal Framed French Purse Karree Leather Satchel Signature Flower Keyfob Sash Signature Belt Tattersal Dog Coat Legacy Striped Framed Slim Envelope Holiday Chunky Charm Bracelet Snaphead Post Earrings with Crystal Dangle Signature Cutout Cuff Pocket Gloves Fushia Miranda Earrings 18 Inch Miranda Necklace 34 Inch Miranda Necklace Can someone with Coach expertise please help me! Would greatly appreciate it. (My assistant is a guy and he says he only does LV, I have no idea about it) Thank you in advance for any help.

Each arrival of Android carries with it changes and fixes, a large portion of which make your telephone more secure from programmers and include new, valuable components. Some are anything but difficult to spot and others not really.
In spite of the fact that Android N is coming soon, that doesn't mean Android 6.0 Marshmallow is en route out. In the event that despite everything you haven't upgraded to Marshmallow (expecting your gadget underpins it), now is as great a period as ever.
With our help, you'll have the capacity to open more from your Android telephone running Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Here are 11 concealed components in Google's most recent versatile working framework you might not have thought about.
With the end goal of this aide, we'll be alluding to concealed components as they exist on immaculate renditions of Android 6.0 Marshmallow gadgets. If your gadget is running Android 6.0 Marshmallow, yet with a "skin" interface on top of it, the areas of specific settings may vary.
- Google Now on Tap
It's unusual that the most imperative new component in Marshmallow isn't one that is promptly visible.Google Now on Tap is basically Google seek in your applications. When you're inside an application, you can press and hold the home catch and Now on Tap will fundamentally "check" it for related data, which it will then show as cards.
Be cautioned, however. As we said in our Nexus 5X audit, Now on Tap is a work in advancement. At times Now on Tap can be intensive and get on numerous watchwords and some of the time it can neglect to distinguish data.
- "OK Google" anytime on the home screen
It's not entirely obvious this one. In Marshmallow, the Google seek bar is on each home screen, not only the principle one. Insofar as your telephone screen is dynamic, you can say "alright Google…" and pose a question or hunt down anything.
- File Explorer
There are several outsider document voyagers — huge numbers of which are free similar to the well known ES File Explorer File Manager and File Manager — that you can use to see and arrange your records.
Hat tip to Sam Murray, a UK Mobile Phone Expert for alerting us to the new built in File Explorer in Marshmallow. It's not quite as good as some of the third party ones but still pretty good.
Despite the fact that the document wayfarer incorporated with Marshmallow isn't exactly as thorough as outsider ones (i.e. you can't rename documents and you can't make new organizers), it's sufficiently essential (move, duplicate, offer records) to show where all your documents are. You can likewise hunt down documents by name utilizing the pursuit bar, which is helpful.
To get to the document adventurer go to Settings > Storage and USB and afterward look down to the base and tap "Investigate."
- Lock screen message
Of course, you could show a soft message or a well-known quote, yet it's more valuable to have your contact data on your telephone's lock screen on the off chance that you ever lose your telephone.
By including a telephone number to contact, email address, or physical location on the lock screen, there's a more noteworthy chance somebody will have the capacity to return it on the off chance that they discover it.
To include a custom message your lock screen, go to Settings > Security > Lock Screen Message and afterward sort in your message. It'll show up as looking over content.
- Customize Quick Settings and Status bar
The System UI Tuner opens trial elements to change and tweak the Android UI. Google cautions that these elements may "change, break, or vanish in future discharges" and to continue with alert.
To empower the System UI Tuner, you have to open the Quick Settings menu by swiping down from the status bar with two fingers. At that point, tap and hold the Settings gear symbol in the upper a good fit for a few moments and let go.
You'll be conveyed to the Settings application and a pop-up message will say "Well done! Framework UI Tuner has been added to Settings."
Look down and tap System UI Tuner and you'll access making changes to the Quick Settings sheet and Status bar. Tap on Quick Settings and you can expel and re-mastermind easy route symbols to your loving. Tap on Status bar and you can turn on and off which symbols appear in the status bar.
- Show battery rate on status bar
There are different approaches to see the precise battery rate on your Android telephone. The most effortless route in Marshmallow is to swipe down from the status bar utilizing two fingers; you'll see the battery rate in the Quick Settings pull-down.
Be that as it may, on the off chance that you need the battery rate to dependably appear on the battery symbol, go into the previously stated System UI Tuner and flip the "Show installed battery rate" on. Presently you can perceive how much power is left with a look — simply like on iOS.
- More astute volume controls
Many individuals weren't content with how Google disturbed the volume settings in Lollipop. In Marshmallow, Google settled the odd volume controls.
Presently, when you press the volume here and there catches on your telephone, you get singular sliders for conforming the volume of the warnings, music and clock. To get to the extra sliders, simply tap on the down bolt.
