This lesson explains the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) and how it can help with English pronunciation.I start the lesson by defining the International Phonetic Alphabet and showing why it is so useful. The letters of a word don't help us in knowing how to pronounce it because the same letter can have lots of different sounds in different words. For example, the letter "c" has a very different sound in the word "car" compared to the letter "c" in the word "dice". Also the same phonetic sound can be produced by lots of different combinations of letters.The IPA is a system for representing each phonetic sound with a symbol and we use use these symbols to transcribe the correct pronunciation of a word. In the English language, there are 44 phonetic symbols and sounds made up of vowels (short and long), dipthongs and consonant sounds. In this video, I pronounce all of the 44 sounds (actually called phonemes) and show you the corresponding symbol. On top of these standard 44 sounds, American English has a few other specific sounds which I also pronounce and briefly explain.Among the consonant sounds, there is a set of 8 pairs of consonants - In each pair, there is a voiceless consonant (example "p") and its equivalent voiced consonant (example "b"). Each pair's sound (example both the "p" and "b" sound) is produced by exactly the same mouth and tongue position. The only difference is that the voiceless consonant sound (example "p") is produced only by the mouth whereas the voiced consonant sound (example "b") is produced by the vibrations of the vocal cords in the throat.I also present some IPA special characters which are used to represent the start and end of a phonetic transcription, the stressed syllable and the start of a new syllable.The accent in the video is a British English accent but I do try to pronounce the 3-4 American English sounds with an American accent :)IPA RESOURCES

Students in jackets and purple sweatshirts passed me on the darkening sidewalk as I made my way along Sheridan Road carrying my copy of This Is How You Lose Her with a ticket tucked in its pages. I was headed for Cahn Auditorium, housed in a 73-year-old ivy-covered Gothic-style building on Northwestern's Evanston campus. The Chicago Humanities Festival was hosting an hour-long discussion with Junot Díaz, and I arrived well before the 6 p.m. start time to make sure I got a good seat.
I'm sure anyone visiting this site knows Díaz as the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Drown and The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, as well as the MIT professor and 2012 recipient of a MacArthur "Genius Grant." I know him as one of the most relevant and exciting writers in America today. Relevant to me, of course. But probably to many of you too.
If I had to guess, I'd say less than 10 percent of the people there were Latino. There might've been more than that, but there also might've been way less. Mostly the people were white and north of 50. There were Asians and black people too, and I'm not saying it was weird that they were there, because Díaz's work should and frequently is appreciated by a whole range of people from different backgrounds. All I'm saying is that, despite the Latino's name on the billing, the event wasn't a Latino thing.
The doors opened 30 minutes before and I sat in preparation of the glory I expected to wash over me when I saw one of my living idols. Listening to audience members around me (I have both staring and hearing problems), I could tell a lot of them were there to see Díaz like Chicagoans go to the Shedd Aquarium to see the beluga whales. They plan the whole day out, buy the tickets, see the whales, and say, "Oh, neat!" Then they forget all about the whales until next summer, or even two summers after that. A lot of the white people in attendance (I'm too scared to say "most") were only there to say, "I saw a Pulitzer Prize-wining author on Sunday," though they couldn't have cared less about what he actually had to say.
The auditorium had a little more than a thousand seats divided between a lower level and a balcony level, and a small orchestra pit separated the audience from the stage where two purple armchairs sat on either end of a rectangular table with two glasses of water and a shelf with books underneath that were just for show. A man stepped to the podium on the right-side of the stage just in front of me and began thanking everyone for coming and thanking the Alice Kaplan Institute for the Humanities, among others, for sponsoring the event. Then, after introducing Mr. Díaz and special guest moderator Peter Sagal, there he was.
Díaz walked out onstage like a deer being led out into the open. He scanned the audience wide-eyed and then sat straight-backed on the edge of the chair, which is how he sat for the whole hour, until it was time to answer questions from the audience, at which point he stood toward the front of the stage. He was funny and cerebral, talking like the cool professor on campus does. His sentences were well thought out but flowed steadily without hardly a pause or stutter. He displayed a wide vocabulary and talked with a street accent, peppered with "fuck" and "shit" and "man."
The tone of the night was much more political, much more far left, than I was expecting. I've read every word in all three of Díaz's books to date, but somehow I thought he was the kind of artist who avoided the overtly political in favor of the covertly political. I couldn't have been more wrong. As the night went on, Díaz become more and more animated and talked at length about white supremacy in American culture, the marginalization of immigrant experiences in the American mainstream, and several crises threatening the American education system.
When he talked about the dominance of white narratives in American society ("Imagine if for one day white people just shut the fuck up"), audience members, almost all of them white students, laughed and clapped awkwardly. When he described male privilege, they laughed as though it were an inside joke. When he told them that public education was being threatened by America's corporate mindset and that boys of color were being failed by a system that viewed them as disposable, they clapped like they were at an Obama rally circa 2008. A few times he tried quieting the audience by waving his hand and nodding his head. Finally he said, "Save your fucking clapping for your stupid politicians." No one dared laugh or clap after that.
Whether despite or because of all this, he received a standing ovation from much of the audience at the end. About half were noticeably annoyed. I heard one old white lady behind me say to another, "Why did he have to make it so political?" This was the same old white lady who huffed when a Cuban American in the audience was describing issues relating to his immigrant background, telling her little friend, "I can't stand it."
I headed straight to the basement where the book signing was to be held, thinking I'd wind up near the front of the line since I wasn't lollygagging in the lobby like the rest of these fools were. But when I got downstairs the line was already snaking its way along the wall, out a door and into a hallway, then back in again. I'd have to wait at least half an hour to shake hands with the man I'd come to shake hands with. Walking Dead premiere be damned.
Having gone to the event alone, I decided to make friends with my line neighbors. I chatted up these two white high-school girls who were there with a middle-aged white woman wearing a silk scarf who gleefully dropped Spanish words into her sentences with an inescapable Anglo accent. The two girls were very friendly and just as bright, talking to me about their favorite books and their favorite authors, and even delving into the important distinction between craft and art. They blushed when they both admitted to me that they were hoping to study English in college. I guess they thought I'd laugh at them and say they were ridiculous. But I admitted to them that, if I'd been braver back in my college days, I would've studied English or taken up some creative art too. I talked to them about the work I did with Gozamos and the RedEye, plus the stories I'd lately been submitting to different publications, and they told me they were looking forward to reading some of my stuff.
Then the middle-aged woman with the scarf, who was one of the girls' mom and had been chatting with another middle-aged lady, noticed me talking to the two girls and shot me a cold stare. Undaunted, I began talking to her too. It wasn't much. Just when we were nearing the spot where Díaz was standing and signing books, I said to her and the girls (but mainly to her),"I feel like we've come a long way since we got in line. I think we've matured." She and the girls laughed a bit, and I seized on the opportunity to put her at ease by asking her where she was from. She smiled and said, "Buenos Aires," in a faux-Spanish accent. When I began telling her how my grandma had visited Argentina on a recent trip, she rolled her eyes, slowly blinked, and abruptly turned away and asked the other middle-aged lady an unrelated question.
Message received.
I stood in silence the rest of the time, moving a couple of feet whenever the line advanced and seething with anger at coming so close to someone so intently racist. Being an optimist and a humanist, at first I thought the encounter might've had nothing to do with race. Maybe she was being icy toward me because I was ten years older than her daughter and her friend. Then I thought of how things might've been had I been a white guy, even a white Latino guy. What if I had been my regular ol' smart and charming self, except with dirty blonde hair and light brown eyes? Call me a pessimist, call me overly sensitive, but I don't think she would've minded my company as much as she seemed to at the moment.
And then, to top off my enchanting evening, two white women who both looked to be in their mid-thirties began talking about how American literature shouldn't focus so much on immigrant experiences. "This is America," one of them said. "American literature should be about the American experience." I can quote her directly because the narrow-mindedness of her statement was etched onto my soul.
By the time I reached the front of the line and was getting ready to introduce myself to Mr. Díaz, I was already deflated. "Hi, I'm Junot," the man said, and I murmured my name as we shook hands. I gave him a Gozamos sticker and asked him if he'd be willing to do an interview for the site, and he told me to email him. (He has since agreed to the interview, so be on the lookout for that.) When he'd signed my book, I thanked him, patted him on the shoulder, and walked away.
Outside on the dark street my meeting with the Junot Díaz was a blur. All I could think about was the people I'd met at the event, both gratefully and unfortunately. The girls gave me hope that racism might evaporate with time and successive generations of open-minded Americans, while the women I'd encountered and overheard reminded me of the long road still ahead.
I also walked away from the event with a new-found energy and assurance about my own work. We all have our part to play in this world, and as a writer, mine is to, as Díaz himself put it, "bring information to the people." I'm convinced that people begin lifting their community first by lifting their voices. I hope that's what my writing does. I hope I'm adding to the volume and helping drown out those who make the road ahead so long. I hope I'm telling outsiders about where I'm from and the people who live there, and letting insiders know they're not alone, that we won't only survive, but flourish.
We live in a pretty fucked up world these days, but it's been that way for a long time. Humanity has made great strides along the way, and America has progressed and has opened up loads in its short history. Sure, there's still tons wrong with it, still tons of issues that need fixing. But there's still also tons of potential for further progress. There's still tons of hope.
I thought my meeting Junot Díaz would be different, that I would feel different, that I'd feel pure bliss and inspiration. But in the end, I came away with even more conflicted.
Díaz is a hero of mine, not only because of how strong he writes, but because he's a voice where there shouldn't be one. Latinos shouldn't be award-winning, best-selling authors, according to how things are supposed to go in America. And although he's a singular figure, Díaz told the audience that he doesn't want to be seen as a spokesman for the Latino community, or even the Dominican diasporic community. He simply wants to be "part of the conversation." By rejecting the role of the spokesperson, he's encouraging us all to be part of the conversations so important to our own experiences.
Junot Díaz is a writer, he's a teacher, and for every male artist or intellectual of color, he's also an ally.
This is how I met him.

Newborn & Baby Photography in Aberdeen and Shire
I specialise in lifestyle newborn and baby photography. The shoots take place in the comfort of your own home and I use gentle baby-led posing, documenting you all as you spend time together as a family. Using the natural light in your home I transform the ordinary everyday moments into timeless treasures. Every cute little button nose, every sweet smile and every fold of skin is captured before they are lost to time.
These sessions are relaxed, informal and take around three hours. Newborn photography is ideally done in your baby's first ten days so make sure you contact me with your due date as soon as you can if possible. These shoots are available within Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire. Take a look at some of my previous work in the portfolio gallery below and if you like what you see then get in touch!

How Much Water Is in a Fruit?
The Science of Dehydration
The earliest known use of dehydration (removing water, or drying) to preserve foods was in Egypt, around 15,000 BC. American Indians and early settlers in North America also preserved foods by drying them.
By removing most of the moisture from foods, dehydration makes many grains, meats and vegetables much less suitable environments for the growth and reproduction of molds, bacteria and insects. Drying also makes foods lighter and easier to store and transport. Other methods for preserving food through dehydration include smoking, which is faster than simple drying—and more effective as well, because the absorbed smoke is toxic to many microorganisms—and salting, which draws moisture out of food items.
Keywords: dehydration | water displacement | water in food | water

As you look into the mirror, you begin to find those small imperfections that no one else will remember. You glance again at the side of your face that appears slightly uneven and then notice a patch of hair that hasn't grown back within the past few weeks. Your eyes begin to wander—a sunspot here, a pimple there, a scar, a wrinkle, a mole—it just never seems to end.
Now your friends and family are starting to wonder why you're not behaving like your usual self. They'll offer to help you fix whatever's got you feeling out-of-place if it means that you'll smile again.
What does it mean to be beautiful? Beauty is in the way you laugh and in the way you smile at the things you consider silly. It's in the way you display bravery at the face of adversity, it's in the way you put others first, it's in the way you help them when they're in the dumps, it's in the way you treat strangers or how, unbeknownst to you, other people gravitate toward your sunny disposition.
Beauty is in the way you genuinely display your thoughts and feelings, it's in the way you make others feel accepted and it's in the way you make them feel loved.
You can be beautiful in the physical sense, but rotten to the core. You can be ruthless, vain, cruel or so greedy that you're never satisfied with what life has to offer you. Regardless of the affliction, it's never too late to heal and improve yourself from within.
Just think—while you were too busy caring about your appearance, someone else was thinking about how much you've changed their life for the better. You'll just never get it.

Ocean Way Audio Features New RM1 Ribbon Mic at AES
— New microphone designed by Cliff Henricksen —
Ocean Way Audio (OWA), a leading manufacturer of high-bandwidth reference monitors for the audiophile and professional audio market sectors, will be featuring the new RM1 Ribbon Mic at AES 139th International Convention in NYC. This Bidirectional Ribbon Microphone, designed by Cliff Henricksen, Director of New Technology, is receiving acclaim from recording artists nationwide. It is among the first models introduced under the brand name "Cliff Mics," (www.cliffmics.com), brought to market through Ocean Way Audio's growing dealer network.
The mic features the greatest magnetic force ever available in a Ribbon Mic. The super-quiet 48V phantom first stage preamp has been designed with all discrete audiophile circuitry. The output level is comparable to the quietest condenser mics, and the high-intensity NeO-powered magnet super-circuit delivers 6dB more level. Unlike most ribbon mics, the RM1 works with any modern preamp equipped with phantom power drawing about 8mA (4mA per side).
Allen Sides, OWA founder and CEO, comments, "The RM1 is a completely unique Ribbon Mic, with amazing performance like no other. The secret is Cliff's unique design that optimizes the physical structure around the ribbon. We invite you to listen at our AES booth, #337."
Rick Plushner, OWA President, adds, "The addition of Cliff Mics is part of our strategic business plan to develop proprietary Ocean Way-branded products in other categories that will help ensure the long-term expansion of the Ocean Way Audio brand."

The book that changed everything for me was The Boglehead's Guide to Investing.
Fresh out of college, I knew nothing about personal finance. Of course, that didn't stop me from thinking I knew what I was doing when it came to investing.
Naturally, I invested in individual stocks and expected to beat the market. And thanks to a bull market, I didn't do so bad.
But there was no plan. No long-term strategy. I didn't know what an IRA was. As worse, I didn't realize the impact fees we're having.
Everything changed after reading The Boglehead's Guide to Investing. I sold all my stocks and put the money inside of an IRA, using the Vanguard 2050.
I tell this story because often the first book (or podcast, blog, etc…) you read in a new genre tends to have an outsized impact on your life.
You'll only learn so much the 10th through 15th books you read–but book # 1 sets the foundation for everything you learn afterwards.
Money: Master The Game by Tony Robbins was the foundational book for Alberto of the blog Appetite for Investing. There was no turning back after he read it.
Having read the book myself (see my notes), I understand why this book lead to a financial and life transformation for Alberto.
For today's post, I asked Alberto to share the 8 most important lessons he learned from Tony Robbins.
Here's Alberto…
8 Life-Changing Tony Robbins Tips You'll Wish You Knew Sooner
The first book I ever read on personal finance was Tony Robbins' Money Master the Game.
Because it reads at a 5th grade level, with a little patience, I was able to understand everything in the book even with zero background or previous knowledge about managing my finances.
I devoured the book in 2 and a half weeks and soon realized how simple this esoteric idea of investing and personal finance really is.
Here are the top 8 lessons I learned from Money: Master the Game:
Lesson # 1 – Index funds are the best way to go
Index funds were created by Jack Bogle, the founder of Vanguard, back in 1975, a year after he founded the company. They are by and large the greatest service that has ever been created for the common investor. An index fund holds a portion of each stock in a given index.
For example, there is the famous S&P 500 index. This index holds a piece of 500 of the best companies in America. If you invested $10,000 in an index fund in 1942 if they existed then, you would have $51 million now if dividends were reinvested.
You hardly would have had to do anything! If you don't want to be bothered with learning more about investing and want to sleep soundly, invest in an S&P 500 index fund and forget about it until retirement.
Lesson # 2 – Fees make a huge difference in your net worth
Up close, it doesn't feel like a 1% difference in fees could be the difference between you being able to retire or not. But the reality is, fees play a bigger part in preventing our hard earned cash from growing faster than it could.
$100,000 invested for 40 years with an average 10% rate of return gives you $4,525,925.56. If you're getting charged 1% in fees, that diminishes the total return to $ 3,140,942.01.
Over $1 million was forfeited because of a measly 1% charge in fees.
When I realized my financial advisor had my money invested in mutual funds that were no kidding charging me up to 2.15% in fees, I immediately sold them and put all my money in an S&P 500 index fund.
Lesson # 3 – The financial jargon is not as difficult to understand as you think
You don't need to know what swaps, options, calls, strikes or puts are.
Wall Street uses this language to confuse you and to give them the aura of knowing more than you'll ever be able to comprehend when it comes to managing your finances.
But the reality is, after I read Tony Robbins' book, I realized it's not even remotely as complicated as everyone makes it seem. The trick is to find the right material to learn from; it gives you confidence in yourself to keep going, to keep learning.
A great place to get started is my recommendations page with investing books that helped give me a solid foundation.
Lesson # 4 – Reading every day is the best way to make progress
Warren Buffett says he spends 80% of his day reading. Bill Gates says he reads 50 books a year. Elon Musk says he learned how to build rockets from reading books. And Mark Cuban says he reads 3 hours a day.
It's not a secret that the most successful, wealthiest people read a lot. Reading Money: Master the Game opened the floodgates for me.
After I realized how much I could learn on my own from reading, I began reading a book every week by taking advantage of my above average commute to and from work (2 hours round trip). Before I knew it, here I am 100+ books later since I started.
I've learned a TON and wouldn't be here now if Tony Robbins' book didn't give me the confidence to take on learning something that I thought was completely out of my realm.
Honestly, I've learned a thousand times more from these books than I did spending 4 years and $260,000+ in undergrad classes and courses. And this is coming from someone who used to hate reading and only read half of The Great Gatsby in high school. The rest of the reading was Spark Notes.

Lesson # 5 – Compound interest is your best friend
If you started with $0, and you add $5,000 to an S&P 500 index fund for 50 years, you would end up with $6,401,496.91 not including reinvesting dividends. Even if it was an average of 7% instead of 10%, you would still end up with $2,174,929.77 without dividends even being considered.
That's literally just a little over $96 a week that you would have to save. The sooner you begin, the easier your financial life will be. It's just so cool how it works for you when you do nothing but let the money sit there.
Lesson # 6 – There are too many options to choose from
You'll get analysis paralysis trying to pick and choose from all of the options out there.
Between all of the mutual funds and even more ETFs, it's ridiculous how many choices are available to you. Keep it simple and stick with index funds. There's no need to spread your investments all over the place like in real estate, gold, cash, annuities, etc. even though Tony Robbins advises to do so.
When you do that, you significantly diminish the positive effect your holdings in index funds could have on your portfolio.
Lesson # 7 – Time is the greatest asset we have
And it's because time is on your side that you don't need to spread your money all over the place.
An S&P 500 index fund owns a piece of 500 individual stocks; that's spread out enough, you are already well diversified within the index fund despite what people tell you. It's not risky.
When you're in your 20s, 30s, even 40s, you still have years ahead of you. Who cares if everyone is predicting there's going to be a bear market in 2020? If you're retiring in 20, 30, 40 years, it'll be a minor speed bump on your net worth. Stay in the stock market for the long haul and you will be fine.
Lesson # 8 – Create your own mentors through books and podcasts and learn from them
Tony Robbins always says one of the best pieces of advice he ever received from his mentor Jim Rohn was you are the average of the 5 people you associate yourself with.
If you can't literally surround yourself with the people you want to be most like, read about them.
Read, listen to podcasts, do whatever it takes to learn from the people you want to be like, who you want to receive advice from.
When I'm on the subway, I read all kinds of books: investing books highly recommended by Warren Buffett, biographies, business books, some Tim Ferriss books, Ray Dalio's Principles, books on technology and AI, etc.
When I'm walking from the subway to my job I listen to podcasts. Like right now I'm listening to This Week in Startups with Jason Calacanis, one of the best venture capitalists in Silicon Valley right now.
He interviews people who are working on the cutting edge of technology, from lab grown meat to 3D printing startups, to AR (augmented reality) and VR (virtual reality) being implemented into everyday life.
I find it fascinating. It gives you an inside look at the direction the world is moving, keeping you highly informed on what's going on in businesses today.
My thing is, as long as I make an effort to learn each day through books and podcasts, I'll be okay.
So far it has single handedly been the best habit I've formed.
Without making the effort to learn every day for a couple of hours, I'd never feel comfortable enough to manage my finances on my own, and I owe it all to Tony Robbins.

Amber Heard. Who is this person and what has she done? *checks imdb* holy lord, she has been in Friday Night Lights, Californication, Zombieland and will be in The Rum Diary?? Jesus how is it we have just heard/realized who she was. Time for a remedy. Here she is in her new movie with Nic Cage (his hair is bird, your argument is invalid), the movie is called..."Drive Angry"...bet this will be good.
Next up we have Friday Night Lights alum Minka Kelly.
Not sure when she made this movie, it must have been before we got married recently, but, holy lord this girl could re-start the sun should it ever die out. She is hot. and so is the sun. so....
This girl is Ashley Greene.
Ashley is dating a Jonas brother, which is fantastic. Nothing against the Jonas brothers, life is to short to hate, but, if someone as incredibly beautiful as Ms. Greene can date someone like that...well, that means their is hope for us all. Men and Women alike. Her only real claim to fame is the Twilight movies, and, we can poke fun all day long at the stupidity that goes along with that series, but, if nothing else, they gave us Ashley, and for that, you can be a sparkly abstinate vampire.
And to wrap it up, we have Geek hot Olivia Munn choking a chicken. Because its an innuendo. get it?

Oliver & Diggle Go Head To Head Over Who Gets To Wear The Hood on 'Arrow' Tonight
Oliver crashes straight into Diggle in this new still from tonight's Arrow.
In the ep, Oliver (Stephen Amell) and Diggle (David Ramsey) face their biggest challenge yet, as Oliver isn't ready to give back the hood and title of Green Arrow back to him.
"It's much more complicated, clearly, than him wanting to be Green Arrow," David shared with TVLine about the issue between the friends. "What John sees is that there's more than one way to save the city."
He adds, "Diggle feels like perhaps if some things were listened to [by Oliver], we could've spared ourselves some pain."
Elsewhere in the episode, Curtis (Echo Kellum) is disappointed to find out his new boyfriend has a firm anti-vigilante stance.
Arrow airs TONIGHT @ 9PM ET/PT on The CW.

Best holiday wishes to all my magnificent fans and followers! Thank you for making this year so incredible. It has been an awesome journey growing HCH from the ground up, and the ultimate Christmas gift would be to see it grow more in the coming year.
I hope you'll stay tuned to all the HCH happenings in the new year (and there are some pretty awesome ones in the works). Even more, I hope you get everything you wished for this holiday season. I know I did.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

I thought about trying to shed a few lbs before wearing this dress. Then it occurred to me that I may never wear it, because I don't know how to diet. I love to eat!
Friends & family know that I eat way too much cake 'n' ice-cream and chocolates (my bedtime treat) to commit to a diet.
I do run. 10 miles/day when I do. That's my only workout and stress reliever.
So, Thursday nights = Date night for Greg & I. It starts right after work.
Since we haven't been out (without the three little ones) in a while, I decided to attempt being a lady, sexy and all the girly stuff all in one.
Uhm, yeah, I tripped down the stairs. It was a fun evening. Enjoy and have a blessed weekend. xo

Discrimination is a difficult subject to write about. "Maggie's" plight of a frustrated woman, needed to be told, The Day Maggie Combs-Wilson Lost Her Sanity (Or Came To Her Senses) « JannaTWrites's Blog, but the place of women in our society does not end there, more important is the struggle of joblessness for the single parent, head of household; who will be at the risk of losing their homes they can no longer afford or sell in this Housing Crisis. As they are then faced with their homes to be taken by the bank: foreclosed.
In another job market, the answer may have been further education, but with teachers, administrators, and healthcare worker's out of work looking for jobs, what chance does a middle level support worker then have when their jobs are going to professionals with masters degrees? How do those professional then manage on lower end wages?
Furthermore, how does the single head of household survive when their adult children are returning home after completing college, without jobs or with menial jobs and student loans coming due?
It is time to talk about what's happening. There is no shame; not to those who are struggling to get by and at risk of losing it all. There is no cushion to fall back on when for years they were struggling to get by, underpaid, supplementing inadequate income by increasing credit card debt, to then have no employment at all, due to no fault of their own.
We are told to continue spending to help the economy and bring back jobs. Okay, now, where are the jobs? How will we get to work with the gas prices rising as they are? How do we continue to afford to buy food, a basic necessity, when the prices are rising and there are still no jobs?
How will it end?
Where are the answers?

Hamburg Vessel Coordination Center (HVCC)
The HVCC Hamburg Vessel Coordination Center is a unique joint venture between the two large container terminal operators in the Port of Hamburg, HHLA and Eurogate Container Terminal Hamburg GmbH (CTH). As a central, neutral and industry-wide coordination point, the HVCC ensures mega-ship, feeder and inland vessel traffic runs smoothly for arrivals in the Port of Hamburg, routes around the port and departure after handling.
The HVCC offers coordination services to terminals and shipping companies. It also functions as the central communication interface between the Hamburg Vessel Traffic Service Centre and Elbe pilots – whether they are piloting a 20,000 TEU container ship, a 300,000 tonne bulker or a cruise ship, feeder or inland vessel. There are two departments at the HVCC: The Nautical Terminal Coordination (or NTC) takes care of mega-ship coordination, and the Feeder Logistics Center (or FLC) coordinates the feeder and inland vessels' routes around the Port of Hamburg.

Parachute Safe Kids Week 2019
Thanks to all our community partners who participated in Parachute Safe Kids Week this year, June 3 to 9! We had more than 200 community partners who planned activities during the week, including 124 in Ontario.
Parachute Safe Kids Week is an annual campaign to raise public awareness of child safety issues in Canada, encouraging community involvement as part of the solution. This year, Safe Kids Week focused on preventing harm from children's falls in the home and at play.
We partnered with Hydro One as our Ontario sponsor for Safe Kids Week 2019 and provided enhanced resource toolkits for 100 Ontario Safe Kids Week partners. Additional toolkits were available for sale to interested communities across Canada.
While the official week is over for 2019, we encourage Canadians to continue to join the discussion on social media by following us @ParachuteCanada on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, and using the hashtags #FallProofYourHome and #SKW2019 to spread our message widely. And you are welcome to continue using the resources below.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Louis Guidetti first became aware of his interest in art while in high school.
"I would be listening to the teacher and always doodling," said Guidetti, from his studio along Trade Street. "I always would like it."
But on a family trip to Italy he discovered the work of the old Italian masters.
"It just really inspired me and I got some of art books and just started copying work because that's all I had," he said.
He would eventually go back to Italy to study and learn how to paint at the Florence Academy of Art.
While he'll paint just about anything, his favorite thing to paint is people.
"One of the keys is, doing it off of real life," said Guidetti, who likes to have his subject sit for him. "On the rare occasion I'll go off a picture if the person is deceased."
When you look at his work you'll also notice a spiritual component that includes paintings of Mother Mary and Christ in a style once popular in the early church.
"I really do want the work to come back," he said. "Because I think people need it."
For Guidetti painting is more than art, it's a calling.
"It's important to be doing not just what you want to do or say you are fulfilled in doing but what you feel like you should be doing.
Learn more about Guidetti and his work here.

Busy lives oftentimes cause us to miss out on spending quality time with our closest friends, which makes life pretty boring and dull. Rather than miss out on those special moments together, why not take advantage of a few simple ideas for quick get-togethers to catch up on news? There are endless ways to do that. As you enjoy the company of your bestie, you also can have a ton of fun.
Some of the best ideas for a friendly get together include:
· Get together for lunch at a local cafe. When you snag a sandwich and coffee, you have the perfect spot to talk, share stories, and laugh together while you get a full stomach.
· Who doesn't enjoy a nice, strong drink? After a long day at work, relax with your friend for happy hour drinks manalapan fl and get the party started!
· Go to the theater. Although you won't be able to talk a lot during a movie, it is always fun to spend quality time together watching a movie that you both want to see!
· What's more exciting than shopping? If you want to share quality time with a friend, head to the nearest mall to score the latest and the best deals.
· Are you a sports fan? Why not go out to see the players live and in action? They'll appreciate the support and you'll appreciate the excitement, no matter what sport you enjoy the most.
With so many fun, simple, and affordable ways to enjoy the day, there is no reason to go any longer without a get together with your friend. Life is far too short to miss out on those special moments that you can create with the most important people in your life.Read More

Ants can be annoying creatures, especially when they invade your home. In the garden, they don't cause damage, but they do carry other, harmful insects such as aphids to plants and tend them like little farmers, feeding off their sweet excretion, which is called honeydew. If you control the insects ants like, you'll control the ants. But they will return with more of their favorite bugs, so you'll need to keep up with your natural control methods and remedies. Whether your ant problem is indoors or outside, you can keep them under control without using poisons.
Controlling Ants Indoors
Mix 1 tbsp. of non-ultra dishwashing detergent with 1 qt. of water in a spray bottle. Spray this safe mixture on ants and on their trails, which contain chemicals that guide other ants to the area where their food source is located.
Spread a line of cayenne pepper and black pepper as a repellent across an area where you know ants are entering your home. As soon as you are able, repair holes in your siding, screens and other areas after you discover the ants' entry point(s).
Scatter cornmeal around the outside of your house. Ants like to eat this grain, but it will make them crave water; then when they drink they will literally explode.
Mix 1 tsp. of 99 percent pure boric acid with 1/3 cup of apple-mint jelly. The jelly attracts ants while the boric acid kills them. Drop 1 to 3 dabs of this mixture at 6-foot intervals along ant trails. Check your traps every day or two and replenish them when they dry up or disappear.
Controlling Ants Outdoors
Spray plants on which you see ants with insecticidal soap. If you control aphids, scale, mealybugs and other insects that ants "farm," you will also be controlling the ants.
Scatter diatomaceous earth on the soil around plants where you have noticed ants. Repeat your application of this natural product after it rains or after you water your garden.
Mulch your garden with cedar chips, which are a natural ant repellent.
Combine 1 tbsp. of dish soap with about 1 qt. of boiling water, then pour it into ant nests after dark. Repeat this application three nights in a row.
Things You Will Need
- Dishwashing detergent
- Water
- Spray bottle
- Boric acid
- Apple-mint jelly
- Diatomaceous earth
- Cedar chips
- Prevention is the best remedy in controlling indoor ants. Keep food safely tucked away in tightly sealed bags and jars and do not leave food out on your countertops or tables. Repair holes in screens and any other entry points.
- Keep boric acid away from children and pets.
- Wear a dust mask when you work with diatomaceous earth.

Ever wondered how to grind coffee beans without a grinder? While it may seem like a trip back in time, you've probably realized that coffee has been ground by hand for centuries before the advent of espresso machines.
Just how did they do it?
Keeping Things Very BasicFirst, roll up your sleeves and get out the mortar and pestle. By using some elbow grease, you grind the coffee beans using downward pressure in a circular motion, gradually decrease the size of the grind by repetition. Be careful to not overflow the mortar (the bowl) with too many coffee beans, as larger piece can (and will) fly around the room if you're not careful. The more you grind, the finer the coffee becomes. Espresso is going to take a while, however.
Second, if you want to summon your inner MacGyver, you'll need a bag and a crushing device. Ziplock bags tend to work the best because you can see your progress (or lack thereof). For those that want to get rid of some pent-up anger, we recommend a simple kitchen mallet or a meat-tenderizer hammer.
Simply put the beans in the bag and begin whacking away! Dried coffee beans tend to have a satisfying crunch.Then again, you're looking for maximum efficiency, a rolling pin can give you more leverage and save you from waking up the neighbors!
More Modern ApproachIf you think these methods are fairly ridiculous in this modern age, you're right! C'mon, we have electricity! Save your time and effort by purchasing a relatively inexpensive grinder. The Hario Coffee Mill Slim Grinder offers a modern update on the aforementioned primitive methods; you still have to grind the beans by hand (using a hand crank), but the design is sleek (think pepper grinder), easy-to-clean, and is way less noisy than playing Whack-a-Mole before each cup of joe. Plus, you can calibrate the size of grinds to ensure an even-tasting brew. Then, of course, why ignore all of the modern conveniences that technology has to offer, like electricity? The relatively inexpensive Mr. Coffee Electric Coffee Blade Grinder can grind your coffee beans in a matter of seconds that would make "manual" methods seem like the difference between walking to the store and driving. Unlike the manual methods that require their own cleanup, this device even has a Chamber Maid Cleaning System, which automatically cleans out the grinding chamber for you! And if you're more accident prone than the average individual—who isn't?—this device comes with a one-year warranty!
Saving That Hard WorkOnce you've ground your coffee beans, you may be thinking, "well, what the heck do I do with all this extra coffee?" Grinding coffee without a grinder is one thing, but keeping your beans fresh—especially a dark-roast like Koffee Kult Dark Roast Coffee Beans—deserves proper storage.
Storing your coffee is extremely important for ensuring that mold and impurities are kept out, while retaining freshness for direct exposure to the air. Storage should be a part of the process, and especially in a quiet household (New baby? Nosy neighbors?). so it helps to grind all of your beans at once to save time. Normally, you'd think that tin cans or a spare glass jar could be the cheapest solution in your kitchen, but investing in a Friis Coffee Vault is the difference between the good coffee and GREAT coffee.
Why? What makes a Friis Coffee Vault a connoisseur's choice is that it contains a CO2 venting valve. This might seem like a fancy add-on, but if you like to grind all of your coffee at once (which IS efficient), a coffee vault helps offset vapors from the roasting process and keeps your ground coffee excess moisture-free. And the Friis Coffee Vault comes with a number of venting valves for replacement, ensuring that your coffee doesn't taste old.
While there may be a large trend towards artisanal goods and adopting the sustainability of old tried-and-true methods, coffee is one of the exceptions to this rule. Take advantage of all the opportunities and efficiencies that technology has available. After all, isn't that the reason we drink coffee: to get stuff done quickly?
