Animated movies are entertaining. But prior to the output, animation is a long tie process. You need to have the story in the first place. Without a story you cannot make a movie, animated or unanimated. No matter how beautiful is the film without a story, it will ruin everything because you do not have foundation, the flow, the characters, and of course, the show. But story grows and changes with the production. After executing the story, you need to have the script and drawing.
Using the storyboard (type of a comic strip), it will lead you to perfect camera angles and correct positions of the characters. After everything, put those things into an editing programs. Put addition of sound and voices.
Next is modeling. You need to build the modeling such as 3D modeling. Mostly used as a model is the 3D modeling that can move and do anything. This is where you can put life into it. After establishing the model, you have to build the skeleton. Just like our body that cannot do anything without our skeleton, animation making needs skeleton for the mobility of the animated objects.
Creation of a pre-visualization would be the next step. In this process, you can add the final voice in order to have a correct and precise timing for everything. This is the chance to make all final things to be made before the actual animation process. Failure to do these and going back to the previous steps while on the way to the final animation will cause delay and serious problem on the making process.
The final process would be the animation in which you will give life to the characters. It needs much time and it needs your full attention to get the top result. Additionally, add lighting and rendering, editing and coloring, and enhancing sound effects.

Economics Anywhere
We provide Economics tuition classes online. The idea of "Economics Anywhere" is where students are able to attend classes wherever they are, they can be on the bus to school, at home, or even having lunch. They can attend our classes from anywhere.
The tutor is also not be restricted in teaching within the 4 walls of a classroom, he is also able to teach from anywhere with live-stream lessons.
attached is my current logo. I like the demand & supply diagram there because it represents "Economics" but I feel that it lacks an 'oomph' factor to it. It's not exciting or explosive even though the style looks ok.

Baptized into One Kingdom
What is the Kingdom of Christ?
The Kingdom of the One who the Bible says is sovereign over all?
As we baptize another child today, we bear witness to that Kingdom. We hope and pray many more will be baptized into that Kingdom in the coming year – children, young people and adults alike! We will hear a beautiful description of that Kingdom today, in a reading from Colossians about the 'clothes' we are to wear as we live for the King – tender-hearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience and forgiveness, and above all love. And we are promised that we will find it a Kingdom of true peace and thankfulness. Now in the face of what happens to us, and around us in our world, that may seem rose-tinted wishful thinking!. But no! During Advent we are reminded how Jesus also spoke clearly about really tough things too (see our other reading from Luke about roaring seas and strange tides!).
We are preparing for Christmas, when we proclaim He has come among us with great love, but also to establish a Kingdom of truth and justice that will never end. These are great, as well as beautiful truths to which we as Christians are called to hold and bear witness to in the face of a world that often thinks very differently, and where all kinds of events press in on us.

A big "Hello!" to our friends, family, church and former teammates!
A man's heart plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps. (Prov. 16:9)
In our last newsletter, we shared our plans to lead the Mexico team this summer. We are looking forward to what God has in store for us. Our project will be to complete a bathroom block building and also do renovations/repairs on other damaged buildings on the property. We will also be doing some demolition. The camp that we are going to has suffered from several hurricanes and earthquakes in the last several years. We are excited to be able to go and serve at this Christian camp and hopefully be a blessing to them! But more important than the physical work, is the fact that: The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He will send forth laborers into His harvest. (Matthew 9:37, 38) Every day we are reminded of just how much people need to hear about Jesus. Nothing else will fix the problems we face, and things will just get worse the more we forsake Him. Because of this, heavy on our hearts and minds is to be spiritually ready in our personal walks with the Lord so that we
can be ready for what awaits us. We recognize that being unprepared will hurt us and hinder our ability to accomplish the tasks set before us. We want to finish the summer and be able to say that we finished everything well and to the best of our ability, that we were content in all things and situations and that we chose to put on the garment of praise every day, that we were examples to the unbelievers and believers alike and that we were bold in proclaiming the saving Gospel message of Jesus Christ. Join in prayer with us now as we bathe our ministry and team in prayer. Pray that the people of Mexico and our teammates (some might not know Him!) will have receptive hearts to the message of Jesus Christ. We want to be able to help them find out Who Jesus Is!
These past few months I have been working on repairing the Obstacle Course. We have built a brand new Slough and Red Sea crossing. They have been a lot of fun to work on because there was quite a lot of welding involved and I love doing that. There was also quite bit of digging and setting culverts in the ground for the legs of the obstacles, and pouring them full of concrete. I also like that kind of work. We also have now put up four Big Top tents for the summer program. We still have one really big one and then six smaller ones that we still need to put up before the summer. We also have been setting up inside the big tops, getting the stages out and everything that goes in them, like chairs and all of that stuff. We are so thankful for the volunteers that came out to help! We were able to get many things set up and secured pretty quickly this year. May 5th is the Mud Run, so we have also been working on getting that ready too. It is a very busy time of year! I have not started working on the buses yet, but it will all get done, I'm sure. I am heading up to Iowa to set up one of our Tabernacles in May right after the Mud Run. So please keep us in prayer as there are still many things that need to get done before the summer and days are flying by!!
Isabelle won her class speech competition this month. She put a lot of effort into it and did a great job. It was on road safety and how you should not text and drive, how motorcyclists should wear helmets, and pedestrians should always use crosswalks when they are available. All of the kids are excited for the summer and of course for school to be drawing to an end soon!
Michelle and I both want to thank every one of you for taking a personal interest in our ministry with Teen Missions. We trust that God will bring many people, both young and old, to Boot Camp this summer and that many lives will be changed and saved here in America and overseas as well. Thank you for your faithful prayers and financial support that allows us to continue on with the ministry of Teen Missions. We are grateful for the work the Lord has put before us.
Prayer Requests
~ Please pray for our team to Mexico, for effective ministry, for wisdom as we work on our project and share the Gospel, and for unity amongst our team.
~ Praise that Mike's mom will be coming to take care of our children during Boot Camp. We are SO GRATEFUL!
~We also continue to seek God's wisdom as we raise Kenya, Isabelle, Lily, and Gabriel.
~We praise the Lord for our faithful prayer and financial supporters!
~We also praise the Lord for the privilege to serve the Him in missions full-time.
~We ask that you pray for continued wisdom for us and that we would follow His guidance daily.
Serving Together,
Mike, Michelle, Kenya, Isabelle, Lily & Gabriel

Brand and digital marketing manager Emma Line has been with Rangemaster since 2014 and looks after the digital brand and social media strategy for the company
How do you create Instagram-worthy images of your showroom?
Posted 30th Oct 2018
Your showroom is not just about selling kitchens – it's about selling the dream, and when it comes to social media platforms, there is nothing as aspirational as Instagram.
In theory, retailers have the ideal material for it as it's all about finding inspiration for the next home makeover. So how do you go about transforming your hard-working displays into 'like'able images? Here are six tips:
Strength in numbers
Firstly, you have an advantage over most of the other people posting pictures of kitchens on Instagram – most of them have only one kitchen, and the likelihood is that you'll have more than one kitchen display.
This gives you the chance to change up your material and keep your feed fresh, as does the fact that you have access to unlimited stunning sinks, taps and appliances that most people can only dream of.
If you are a business that likes to host live cooking demonstrations, this gives you an extra string to your bow. Foodie shots work especially well, particularly if you get your technique right.
Try and take your photo in daylight, and don't rush setting it up, cropping in so you show off any marble or granite worktops you have on display. Food involving bright colours and fresh ingredients always looks better and adds interest.
Minimalism is key
When it comes to creating an Instagram image of your showroom, don't over-style. Too much clutter can be a distraction, especially when the point of what you're trying to show is your beautiful product and excellent workmanship, so resist the urge to add too many vases of flowers and bottles of Champagne.
Focusing in on a section of a display can work extremely well. Test it out by taking trial photos as you go to see how it will turn out – what looks as though it might work when you're staring at it trying to bring it together, can actually look completely different once you've taken a photo.
Symmetry and style
When it comes to room sets, shooting straight on works well with a symmetrical image and creates drama.
Shooting at an angle – either side on, from above or below – gives more context as it allows you to get more of the room in.
Although the Instagram 'grid' will do its own square cropping, it is also possible to maintain a landscape or portrait ratio and this can make your posts stand out even more.
Let's face it, most of these photos will be taken by a camera phone, but if you haven't got the light right, don't despair. Instagram – or any number of other apps out there – will alter that for you by boosting brightness, contrast and colour saturation, and they're just as useful when it comes cropping images too.
Keep it fresh!
Keeping your feed updated is necessary if you're keen to grow followers – if you stop you'll see they quickly fall away – so once you start your account, be committed to working at it regularly.
When it comes to your business, it could be as instrumental as your window displays in showcasing your product offering, craftsmanship and creativity to reach consumers.

Spring is coming soon and there is no time to waste. I have to go gather more willows today before they become unworkable. I want to get in at least one more basket before the thaw!

speaking of…
Speaking of new flatmates, my brother is living in the room down the hall and waxing lovingly philosophical about anarchy. Check it out: http://jesseambrose.wordpress.com/ :
…I agree with a lot of the anarcho-primitivist "movement", as it were, however I wonder if maybe anarcho-primitivism is nothing more than another system trying to make life as pain-free as possible. Of course, anarcho-primitivism's criticism of civilization is that we don't need a system. But in efforts to detach ourselves from the current system, are we merely advocating a different one? Systems run on ideals- ideals that say if everything was a certain way, life would be perfect, or at least better. The ideal that everyone should be free, for example (of course any system that claims to advocate freedom for all is directly at odds with itself). But what I wonder is, does God's kingdom run on an idealistic system? …
In late highschool, friend Ben Carr and I used to have a ton of these same directions, thanks in no small part to the craziness that is the Psalters, and later mewithoutYou and Shane Claiborne. I'm glad Jess' is thinking about the same issues, and hopefully he recognizes when I give him grief, I'm often playing devil's advocate.
What do you think, are all concepts of anarchy a bunch of shit, or is there something to be learned/adopted from the freegans and freeloaders? Head over to his blog and weigh in (and I mean you, Jrhymes).

sigh. i dont even know where to start. i do tend to ignore the ramblings of anarchists (not that your brother is one, in fact he says he wouldnt call himself that), but perhaps I will make an exception and attempt to explain the inherent necessity of society, civilization, capitalism, and other so-called evil "systems" in today's world.
October 24, 2009 at 12:03 pm
1. a state of society without government or law.
2. political and social disorder due to the absence of governmental control: The death of the king was followed by a year of anarchy.
3. a theory that regards the absence of all direct or coercive government as a political ideal and that proposes the cooperative and voluntary association of individuals and groups as the principal mode of organized society.
4. confusion; chaos; disorder: Intellectual and moral anarchy followed his loss of faith.
So just how would a society under anarchy work, human nature being what it is? I see anarchy on the road every day and I fear for my life…
October 24, 2009 at 12:04 pm
ya He was, because they were sinfully desirous of a government that made them more like their pagan neighbors.
However, God used their Kings for his purposes, rather than denying their request.
and the ultimate point is: God did establish a form of government, not an anarchist systemless environment that seems to be advocated by today's "anarcho-primitivists"
October 26, 2009 at 7:23 am
the rest of my thoughts are here: http://lfodh.blogspot.com/2009/10/on-civilization-anarchy.html
October 26, 2009 at 4:22 pm
One could argue that the Israelites were the ones to ask for a king, ie government, and said societal form before that was not government as we know it today.
There are also great differences between different forms of anarchy. Off the top of my head I couldn't tell you the different names, but some will argue that there is no duty to obey laws set up by government today, some believe that laws do happen to fall along the lines of how we should act, so we might as well obey some of them, and some advocate specific disobedience. Of course the key to it all is whether or not you believe man is inherently selfish and evil, or on the opposite end, minimally cooperative. So then the question becomes do we truly socialize evil? Without society would evil deeds such as murder and rape occur? If they still would, how in a state of anarchy, would these people be reined in? Some anarchists would argue that peer pressure would be enough… I sort of doubt whether that would work – especially with today's governments and society already set up, I don't think most people possess the mental discipline and means to remove themselves so far that they could rely on peer pressure alone.

Viper Head Torch
240 lumen rainproof head torch with reactive lighting mode that strikes the balance between brightness and burn time. Compact, light, and handy for all-manner of adventures
SALE: £17.99 Was: £23.99
- Full Description
- Features At A Glance
- Customer Reviews
We climb, we run, we hike and we bike; why should we limit ourselves to the daylight hours?
If you were only going to buy one head torch, the AK customer service heroes would recommend you get a Viper. Viper is reliable, rainproof, adaptable and compact, so we tend to have them in our cars/bags/jackets no matter where we're off to.
Viper's light sensor mode reacts to your environment and activity. Look up at the trail ahead and it will brighten up, when you peer at your map again it will switch to the sidelights so that you don't dazzle yourself. This means you can focus on your activity and not your light settings and lets Viper operate at maximum efficiency.
Viper has 5 standard lighting modes, from the 15 lumen sidelights for reading in your tent to the 240 lumen high power, with a 115 metre beam distance for when you're running on the trail. With burn times that range from 5 hours at maximum to 115 hours on low, Viper strikes the balance between burn time, beam distance and brightness – which is what makes it such an excellent all-rounder! The light unit itself tilts forward for navigating, reading or not blinding your mates around camp.
The removable and adjustable overhead strap helps you get a good, balanced fit, making Viper spot-on for more dynamic activites, and at just 95 grams it is light enough that you'll forget you're wearing it.
The Viper is simple to use, with 1 button on the top to shimmy through the standard light modes, and another to activate light sensor mode. The buttons are large enough for you to use them with your liner gloves on.
Viper has a water resistance rating of IPX6, so it's rainproof but not submersible. It takes 3 x AAA batteries and is compatible with good quality alkaline, NiMh rechargeable or NiCd rechargeable batteries.
Key features
- Rainproof head torch with reactive light sensor mode for all-round use
- Designed to strike the balance between brightness, burn time and beam distance
- Light sensor mode reacts automatically to your proximity and environment
- Overhead strap gives a secure fit that doesn't bounce around as you run
- Lightweight and compact, ideal for having on you just in case
- 5 standard lighting modes, from 15 – 240 lumens
- Maximum burn time of 115 hours (on low power)
- 3 Year Alpine Bond

Very impressed with the head torch.
I have been very impressed with the head torch, very bright and not heavy at all on my head. It's fantastic for my night time running up and down the dark streets and lanes and the canal bank, everything is lit up brilliantly.
I did a lot of research about head torches and your company came out top with great reviews, great customer service and great prices, plus you are a group of people very passionate about your company.
Top Head Torch
Last week hiking from Haystacks to Buttermere my wife switched her head torch on which was bought from a well known high street retailer. It had little light for safe night time hiking. I switched my AlpKit Viper on and wow! There was enough light for me to stand a distance behind her and light the path for both of us.
It's comfortable to wear & is super bright. I'd recommend 100%. A great buy at a great price!
Best Viper yet
Having used mk1 and 2 I can say this is the best yet. The addition of the top strap helps the comfort as I don't need to have it so tight on my head. The functions/buttons seem better than on the mk2 version. Whilst the first thing that strikes you is how powerful the main beam is - a mention must be made of the tent mode, which whilst handy for low light in close surroundings, is also a great night walking light, as it gives a wide beam of subtle light, so much so that you hardly notice it - until you come up to a gate for example and it lights your way... without losing your night vision. As well as being used on my treks, it gets used every day/night on the farm - in dark skies territory, and happy to report no reliability issues. I'm quite happy using the lower beam settings to save battery power. The LEDs produce a very clean light.
Fantastic head torch
Easy to use
Great light for all outdoor sports
Perfect for camping ⛺
Excellent value
Every rucksack should have one
Never get left in the dark
Brighten your life your be impressed
Perfect night nav torch
This torch has everything required for a good night nav session. The burn time is decent (5h on max which will cover most sessions), it is rainproof and, most importantly, it will not dazzle you when you go to consult the map, if used in the reactive mode.The beam is powerful, esp on max, and I never felt the need for it to be any brighter. I would have loved if it could be rechargeable but I'll just buy rechargeable AAA batteries, so not a big drama really. At this price it's an absolute bargain with no apparent sacrifices when it comes to quality.

Reviews for Carla Blaha Intuitve Medium
hosted a message circle in my home with 6 other participants. I knew it would be a fun evening regardless of what messages that Carla would be able to pass along, but I never expected so much communication from the people in our past. The messages were very accurate and left us all feeling very happy & comforted to know that our loved ones were able to come forth. I will definitely have another circle!" Gail CT
"I have had several Reiki and card readings sessions with Carla. I am thoroughly pleased with her ability. I continue to use her. Patricia, NY
"I have had card readings with Carla and always leave uplifted and secure. I had one previous Reiki session years ago that did not go well (with someone else). I love Carla's energy and decided it was worth another try. I felt so relaxed and completely balanced when I left. The headache I had when we started was gone!" Helayne NY
"For some time I've been meaning to convey how much you've helped me this past year and I'm finally getting around to it. You came into my life at a very important moment not long after my husband passed away. You suggested I ask for signs and did I get them!! It made me feel so much more comfortable knowing he was where he was supposed to do. In addition to that you did a reading for me which strongly suggested that this was now my time and to look for ways to enrich my own life. I'm beginning to do that now and I thank you so much for that encouragement. In short, everything you have done, including Reiki and a group reading has been so helpful to me during a difficult time. I am grateful to know you and have you in my life.
Peace, Kathy NY"
"My first reading with Carla was at a house party - not knowing her previously - I did not know what to expect. I very quickly felt connected and knew that what she offered was nothing but pure truth - with astounding accuracy. I have since had private readings, and intuitive writings - knowing that I can go to Carla regarding any issue that I may want guidance on without judgement and get only the truth that I am supposed to hear. Every time I am more amazed at her accuracy. I now have many friends that go to Carla. She has guided me in my love of Angels - teaching me how to communicate with them and be open to their signs - which come in so many ways. My first Reiki session left me with incredible inner peace and a sense of calmness - my second was very "uplifting" to say the least and I felt like a giddy child afterward. I have decided to continue with a session every few months!"
Robin CT
Hey Carla,
I wanted to thank you for the other day. After talking about things/names/letters you brought up, many things came to mind after the fact for my mother and made complete sense. We went to you because my mom has lost a lot recently. I went with her because I knew she wasn't ready to go alone. We really wanted to connect to my grandma and were able to and I thank you for that. I do plan on seeing you again! Thanks again!" Annie, NY

Clinical Placements
With a fully integrated clinical training programme spanning three continents, the Medical School offers a truly international educational experience.
The first two years of the course take place in Cyprus, with students gaining initial clinical experience at the country's leading hospitals.
The last two years are spent in teaching hospitals: Limassol General Hospital in Cyprus, University of Maryland Baltimore Washington Medical Center, Swedish Covenant Hospital in Chicago and the Sheba Medical Centre in Tel Aviv. In addition, students training in Cyprus who are interested in experiencing the US healthcare setting are able to spend from 10 to 17 weeks in the United States (New York, Massachusetts, Florida).
Wherever their clinical experience is gained in the third and fourth years of the programme, all graduating students do so with a degree from St George's Hospital Medical School, a constituent college of the University of London.
The Medical School curriculum is taught in English, and all students will spend their first two years in Cyprus, where English is widely spoken and understood. Some knowledge of the Greek language will enhance your learning experience in the first two years and generally make your experience of living in Cyprus more fulfilling. For this reason, the Medical School provides optional free Greek classes from the beginning of the MBBS programme.
If you remain in Cyprus for clinical training, you should attain a working level of Greek through these free classes: specifically, a European Common Framework level of B1 in Greek by the end of the 2nd year, and B2 by the end of the 3rd year. For any form of postgraduate clinical training in Cyprus (based on regulatory approval at the time), an upper intermediate level (B2) in Greek is a prerequisite.

Maintaining the building, protecting it from the intense sunshine, high humidity, or heavy rains, is a constant task.
There is always something that needs painting, repairing or, as last resort, replacing!
And then there are the more unpalatable, and costly, jobs to be done. As there is not the luxury of mains sewerage, we have four cesspits which need to be regularly emptied and this has just been done ... bringing with it a bill of £680!
It is an expense we could do without, but so necessary and as we always bargain the best price for the best job, we just have to pay up and bear it.

TV / Magazine-Dizier / Movie
Starring: Mickey Rourke, Kim Basinger, Margaret Whitton
The film is undergoing US-made events in New York. When Elizabeth, who works in an art gallery, never thinks, there are 9.5 weeks of romantic moments in the market with the man who fell in love at first sight. The film is very provocative and full of scenes that appeal to the fantasy world with conservative cuts. Sexuality without love will not without this film according to full size.
Starring: Jeremy Irons, Dominique Swain, Melanie Griffith
In an erotic film, there could not be overly clear scenes, the one who loves the mystery of sexuality may be comfortable with your lover with a very shy one from you.
The theme of the Lolita movie is the search for a house that is assigned to work in the town in the 40s and is in search of finding a house and you can marry a friend who dislikes the house and examine your stepfather's daughter. a film that smells naturalness.
The young girl loves daddy compassion, and she mixes mother hate, and her stepfather has fallen in love, and then shuts down to the gates of love when she is a 17-year-old boy.
Starring: Nina Ivanisin, Peter Musevski, Primoz Pirnat
One of my favorite films is Tele Girl co-production of Northern European Countries (Sweden, Finland, Norway).
It is an excerpt from a real event and deals with the dirty politics of Sweden, how diplomats and proxies use prostitutes to become rulers. In the 1970s, these girls living in 14-15-year-old child sheltering dwellings, which were shouted en sexual liberty olmuş in Stockholm, have been in the best condition for sex work. The director united the historical event with eroticism very well and has not provoked tension, drama and eroticism.
Starring: Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, Reese Witherspoon
I like youth and comedy films like 'AMERICAN PASTA' I can't come to sadness, tension, etc. Maybe it's the best erotic film I've ever seen.
There are people who are under very difficult conditions in the university years. Laura couldn't find a part-time job in a long period of time to stay hungry for long periods of time, but she couldn't stand her harassment with a 57-year-old for money she needed to pay to college. can not be free of rape and rape with the removal of harmful.
The life of an escort and the different kinds of people he is interested in is curious if you want to look at the world through their eyes.
Sadist or masochistic according to the exact size of this film, the mental hospital approach to psychological treatment and after the decision to start his life again, according to the secretary of a lawyer to take care of Lee and have a box of his own.
The lawyer is falling in love with the sadistic ex-wife and getting married and aggressively without knowing how to cope with this clumsy but intelligent remote.
The most non-subject I've watched and the information on one floor of a person 'how the porn is pulled?' is a film. A film that a young girl escapes from her bad family and is a porn actress.
What would you do if your partner was blind at one time?
The writer produces various feelings and reactions to her and her husband after she becomes blind. The real woman in the movie is hard to understand. So you can watch for the second time.

It is the 4th of July. The sun is out, the weather balmy. A holiday from work for many of us. Naturally, our thoughts turn to independence. Here in the United States, it is Independence Day, when we celebrate the founding of our nation.
The birth of our republic involved a declaration of colonial independence from England and King George III. Taxation without representation was one of the catalysts. There were others. The history is well-known. No need to recite here.
What does it mean to really be "independent"? (Here we are reminded of Hermie and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer striking out on their own. "We're IN-DE-PEND-ENT!")
Independence might also be called "undependence" or "nondependence." The underlying theme is standing on one's own, not relying on others for certain things, being personally responsible. In many areas of our lives this is a good and healthy thing, a mark of maturity and emotional stability. Personal responsibility is not enjoying good press but it's still the soundest approach to life there is.
Here are some healthy declarations of independence. You can add your own (please!):
- I am responsible for my happiness in life or lack of it. I will not blame others if my life is not the one I'd hoped for and want.
- I am responsible for my choices. After all, I made them. People and situations may have influenced me, but in almost, if not all, situations where I needed to make a choice, I did not have a gun to my head.
- I can improve my lot in life. Ultimately, I am not dependent on others. If I don't like my job, I can find another.
- I don't have to accept the biases of the broadcast and print media, of either the Left or the Right. I can—and must—do my own homework and think for myself.
- I don't need to be owned by the zeitgeist, with its irresponsibility and blame-shifting and constant need to be made much of. The story of Echo and Narcissus should be writ large again in our land. Were that the case, there would, at the least, be way less selfies plastered all over the net.
- I can handle losing the approval, even of those closest to me, if I'm being true to my values, conscience and identity. Rejection, while unpleasant, is survivable.
- Are you quick to take responsibility for your life—your choices, successes, failures? Or do you blame others ("you made me this way")?
- What areas of your life are passive—meaning you're depending on someone else when you shouldn't? Where have you been responsible and independent? If you take charge of your failures, you have the right to take credit for your successes.

A 30-year-old German native playing on a sponsor's invitation, shot a closing 67 to grab a share of second place at 10 under par at the Porsche European Open this week, Golf Digest reports.
John, who uses hearing aids, has only 5 percent of his natural hearing.
He made birdies on four of his final eight holes to get into contention late. Only a birdie by leader Richard McEvoy on the final hole prevented John from getting into a playoff for the title.
John played college golf at Georgia State from 2008 to 2011, before turning pro. He briefly competed on the Challenge Tour, but then decided to step back and regained his amateur status in 2016.
John competed in the Deaflympics, an elite IOC-sanctioned event for deaf athletes, in 2017 and earned the gold medal.

Confronting the planetary challenges of needing to limit growth, developing sustainably and minimizing our ecological impact, the 2019 Festival is a venue where designers will explore the principals of voluntary simplicity all the while offering a footprint for fun. The interactive spaces chosen through this competition will excite, enthrall or envelop visitors. They will be child-friendly without being childish, adventurous without being unsafe. Explore, experiment and celebrate – this is the effect we want the 2019 Festival to have on every one of our 60,000 visitors.
Applicants are limited to one proposal, either as individuals or multidisciplinary team. The Festival encourages participants to form multidisciplinary teams to include a landscape architect, architect, artist, designer, engineer, horticulturist, botanist, teacher, scientist, etc. The objective is to favour an approach that encompasses various design disciplines and expertise from various quarters.

Real estate investment – A money making process
These days you surely cannot miss the boom related to investing in real estate. By looking at it in first glimpse, you might find it so easy and convenient to make a deal, as if it is just a piece of cake. You might feel that you can just go ahead and start making profits. In reality, it is not that easy. However, irrespective of the area you stay in and what kind of market you are approaching, you will still find many profitable deals. The first and foremost way is to find the deals. There are various ways by which you can find good deals.
If you try to think like a realtor, then what do you think would mean to a person who is dealing in real estate investments. When you check your mails, you always find little post card advertisements from nearby realtors, irrespective of the fact whether you are interested in selling your property or not. This usually happens because real estate people in this way try to find the lead or think that anybody who is interested in selling or buying a house would surely contact them. They actually pick the area. Even if you are not interested, you will discuss it with the person who is interested. It is easy to buy the mailing list for any zip code. You surely want to try the place or a local area, which is likely to have a foreclosure.
People who are getting a divorce or relocate are the perfect target, so you would want to send the listing to those people. This is public information, so you can send out postcards to them. You would surely get the reply from the owner of the property or that person may direct you to someone who is in the process of foreclosure. Since foreclosure is a sensitive issue, so there are lots of investors who are scared or hesitant to call these people. This process is a little tough. You need to give some time to the person so that he or she can calm down and interact with you properly. If you get the owner over the phone, then you can set up a meeting or you can send the postcard and later set up the meeting.
There are lots of ways to reach the customers and one of them would be newspaper ads, which tend to be an economical way of reaching to the customers. The key is to write the ad effectively. Whether the audience will read the ad or not, totally depends upon how creative your ad is.
Another factor that you should not ignaore is to knock some body's door, because the people who are in foreclosure process might want to try speaking to you. You need to let people know how helpful you can be if they get in touch with you. It is the way you approach people and let them know how rewarding investing in real estate can be. Harji Realtors is one of the leading real estate agents in the region of Chandigarh, Mohali and Kharar.

Tanya Huff is an author of fantasy with one science fiction series. When not writing about detectives and vampires and detectives who are vampires she has written five novels about an intergalactic space marine and her exploits. She also has written a reasonable number of short stories, and all those I have seen have been fantasy, but that is only a handful.
Penguin are even worse than some of the others it seems, as we have complete and utter excerpt failure. The author has no website, just a livejournal, so she is no use either in this regard.

BCAA is a Branched Chain Amino Acid (BCAA) powder that's been "instantised" to allow it to dissolve and mix well in a shake. Our BCAA is an ultra pure powder containing the amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine in a proven ratio. These essential amino acids have a similar structure to each other and play an important role in the development and preservation of muscle tissue. Of the three BCAAs, leucine appears to be the most important for muscle protein synthesis and can increase it by as much as 33%. It is for this reason that our BCAAs contain leucine, isoleucine and valine in the heavily researched ratio of 2:1:1.

TwenTEEN One Celebrations!
So I'm officially TwenTEEN one now. Four celebrations this year! Wow. Here goes:
1. A treat to my former officemates who became really good friends of mine. We've been together every day in the office for almost two years which made our bonding strong. At Saturday night, we had dinner at Cocolime, a restaurant owned by a Korean with lots of dishes to offer. I recommend that place if you guys want to have a good meal and the ambience is so welcoming. Then we had some beer at Fuze Bar, a new bar which is quite small but offers a relaxing mood . Lots of story updates to tell and laughters to share. We definitely missed one another so much!
2. Family dinner at Shakeys! on Sunday night. It's a newly opened branch here in SBMA so everyone was excited to try it. It's a famous pizza restaurant chain based in the U.S. and has 500 stores globally but we don't get to eat there often because here in the Philippines, it's branches are mostly in Manila.
4. On Tuesday, my real birthday, bf came over to have a dinner with me. Yey! Though it was only for an hour because he needs to catch the last bus trip to get home, it was special as always. Wee! I looked so stress!
For a best celebration this year, I will be watching the Black Eyed Peas concert in MOA on October 25 with my bestfriend Myrted of Love Skin Best. Her birthday was last 19 and mine was 18 so we decided to celebrate together! EXCITED!!! For upcoming birthday celebrants, HAVE A BLAST!

The Tory rebel has frequently voted against Mrs May in the House of Commons and has also submitted a letter calling for a leadership vote. But this evening he voted with Mrs May and the Government against fellow Tory rebel Dominic Grieve's surprise amendment. Politics Home editor Kevin Schofield revealed Mr Rees-Mogg has not only voted with the Prime Minister but had also convinced a number of Labour MPs to do the same.
Mr Schofield said on Twitter: "Funny old world. Told that Dennis Skinner and Ronnie Campbell voted with the Government after being lobbied by … Jacob Rees-Mogg."
Mr Rees-Mogg was desperate to avoid the Government defeat, which has now all but ruled out a no-deal Brexit.
This is because the amendment means MPs will be allowed to submit amendments to the Brexit deal if Mrs May's current deal is blocked at next week's meaningful vote.
Earlier today Mr Rees-Mogg got caught up in Commons theatrics during a debate.
The European Research Group (ERG) chairman, who led a failed charge to depose the Prime Minister ahead of an expected defeat over her Brexit deal, told MPs he would be backing the Government.
As the Labour benches groaned in response, Mr Rees-Mogg sighed "we're not in pantomime season quite yet".
Cries of "oh yes we are" inevitably followed from the Labour benches and Mr Rees-Mogg was forced to admit defeat.
"All right, I give in on that one," he said.
"I'm defeated on that particular point but not on the substantive one."
He added: "On these benches we must remember the great need for us when we are in power to defend the rights of Parliament for those occasions when we will not be."
This is a developing story, more to follow…

(image: a section from the Mandali Mendrilla Wish Tree Dress collection mood board created in December 2015. The section shows bloggers and Paris Fashion Week visitors whose style inspired me at the time I was preparing to design the collection, with Susanna Lau of the Style Bubble catching most of my attention. The Wish Tree Dress collection was presented at the Fashion Week in Zagreb, in May, 2015. Click here for catwalk show video. )
The Oxford English Dictionary meaning:
mood board
BrE /ˈmuːd bɔːd/
; NAmE /ˈmuːd bɔːrd/
a group of pictures, words, etc. arranged on a board or screen in order to create or show a particular style, idea or feeling
We put together a mood board with key images and words that best convey the essence of the brand.
What follows is the rest of the pages in the Wish Tree Dress collection mood board.
To my eye, nature is the finest work of art and the more i pay attention to its intricacies, I find endless inspiration for my own expression. It is interesting that the forms found in nature are always harmonious to the eye and a healthy dose of imitation leads to unforgettable designs that never tire.
Thus is a simple, happy mood board with lots of light and smiles. I am not dwelling on world's pain but am focusing on its beauty.
An element in this page is the work of Van Gogh. His work is in almost every mood board that I have created in the last few years. Seeing his paintings in person, both in Amsterdam and in London, has been an unforgettable experience and, amongst the numerous intricacies in his work, I find special pleasure in the waves of energy that he recorded, the visual appeal and the innocent way in which he signed his works with a simple "Vincent".
At the heart of the inspiration to create this collection was a genuine Banyan wish tree that I connected to in India, many years ago. I sincerely believe that mental intention made in special places, like wish trees, creates desired reality. Yoko Ono created an art project with the theme of Wish Trees many years ago, which also served as great inspiration in visualising the collection.
Very much inspired by Yoko Ono's living Wish Tree art project within which she would plant wish trees in museums and locations all over the world for people to hang their wishes on and dream, one of the dresses in the collection, called Wish Tree Dress I, had become an art installation in itself, gathering several thousand wishes when displayed, and over internet communication. This dress inspired a series of wish tree dresses, of which the first one is the now famous sculpture dress called Mandala of Desires (Blue Lotus Wish Tree), a work I will write about in another post.
The cloth I chose as the predominant material for making the Wish Tree Dress cocktail dress collection was peace, or ahimsa silk which, even though traditionally used as a bit of a 'primeval' fabric, worn by yogis in the holy places of India for its non- violent origin (no silkworms are harmed in the making of), cleanliness, durability, versatility and adaptability to climate changes, I used it as a cocktail dress material (the innovative collection was recognised by the organisers of the Month of Design in Ljubljana, Slovenia, who one of the dresses, called Happy III, in their exhibition). On that note, I am very impressed by Suzy Amis Cameron's Red Carpet Green Dress initiative.
I do pay attention to and find inspiration in persons in the public eye, and they often end up in my mood boards. At the time I especially loved the look of Gwyneth Paltrow in Ralph and Russo.
The last page needs not much explanation, yet its interesting how both of these amazing designers, who might have been a bit of rivals in their time, many years later, ended up in my mood board together.

PESHAWAR, Pakistan — A suicide bomber struck a funeral on Tuesday in the city of Mardan in northern Pakistan, killing 28 mourners, including a provincial legislator, and injuring more than 60, a senior police officer said.
"It was terrible," said Jafar Khan, the deputy police inspector general in Mardan, about 40 miles northeast of Peshawar, capital of the volatile Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Province. "We had to make our way through piles of human flesh."
The attack took place during the funeral of an influential businessman who had been killed just a day earlier in a feud, Mr. Khan said. The bomber detonated his suicide vest just after last rites had been performed, Mr. Khan said, sending shrapnel and ball bearings flying.
Among the dead was Imran Mohmand, a newly elected member of the provincial assembly who had been receiving threats, Mr. Khan said. "We had provided him with escort and had cautioned him against traveling too much," Mr. Khan said.
Although Mr. Mohmand was elected as an independent, he had previously been associated with the secular Awami National Party, which has governed Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa since 2008 and whose politicians have been frequent targets of Taliban attacks.
No group claimed responsibility for the attack.
Some of the critically wounded were brought to Peshawar for treatment, Shaukat Yousafzai, the provincial information minister, said in an interview. "We condemn the bombing, whosoever is behind it," Mr. Yousafzai said. "The bombing reinforces the call for a national policy to deal with the situation." His party, Tehreek-e-Insaf, or the Movement for Justice, has called for negotiations with Pakistani militants.
Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan told Parliament on Monday that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif would soon invite all political leaders to work out a national policy on terrorism.
He was speaking two days after Pakistan's largest province, Baluchistan, was hit by the suicide bombing of a bus carrying female university students and an overnight attack on a hilltop residence once used by the founder of Pakistan, Muhammad Ali Jinnah.

The statue of the famous Little Mermaid returned home safely after participating in the World Expo 2010 in Shanghai. She was placed back on her perch in the Copenhagen harbour on 20 November after her first-ever journey abroad.
The 1.5-meter bronze statue is Copenhagen's most famous landmark. In April she left home to become the centerpiece of the Danish pavillion at the Expo, which successfully attracted 5,5 million visitors.

Remember yesterday when I said the blackberry arrival date would be around mid-late August? Well, it has been in years past... but this year it's different.
The blackberries are here. NOW.
And they're gorgeous things, 3/4 inch diameter.
But now I have to pick them earlier than expected. I'm not going to let a bumper crop of blackberries to go waste. Oh, and they're FREE. Hello!? Of course I'm getting a ton.
So I think B and I are going pickin' this weekend. Now to find recipes.
One thing I want to do is make viniagrette out of these just like I'm doing with the raspberries and like what I will do with the currants. here's the recipe:
1 cup crushed berries
1 cup white wine vinegar
1 tbs honey
1 tbs sugar
You let it soak for about 4 weeks, shaking or stirring (i have mine in mason jars, so I shake it) once every 2-3 days. I have three quarts of the raspberry mixture right now.
After 4 weeks, use a cheesecloth to separate out the seeds/pulp from the mixture. Heat it up to the point of HOT but not boiling, ladle it into jars, and water bath it.
I'm putting mine into 1/2 pint jam jars, that way we can change it up every week or two. I'd hate to have it quart size and then get sick of it after 2-3 weeks.
I figure 3 quarts each of currants, raspberries and blackberries will give us a good mixture.
I also want to check out infusing. I've been meaning to read upon this for a while. I really like that idea. Plus, Ikea sells these AWESOME bottles for $2. And, they're reusable (assuming you can clean them). So I'm going to do some exploring as far as making like a blackberry sugar water or vanilla syrup or even a raspberry-infused wine (raspberries in chardonnay?). Plus, I think it'd look gorgeous, all lined up on a windowsill or something. We'll see!
But doggone it, blackberries. Seriously? 3 weeks early?
