GIGLIO, Italy — The saga of the stricken cruise liner Costa Concordia took further twists Wednesday, with a warning from Italy's environment minister that it could sink and news that the captain claimed he had slipped on deck and tumbled overboard, winding up in a lifeboat during the panicky passenger escape — not abandoned ship like a coward, as accused.
The captain's account of the Costa Concordia's final moments afloat, as it lurched to starboard with a rip in the hull, was reported by the newspaper La Repubblica as Italian frogmen suspended rescue efforts in the gurgling underbelly of the half-submerged vessel because it had shifted on its rocky perch for the second time in three days.
Conflicting information about the total number of missing among the 4,200 passengers and crew members added to the frustration five days after the shipwreck, which could become one of the costliest disasters in the cruise line industry.
The Italian authorities revised the number of missing on Wednesday to 26 people, including a retired American couple, and identified one of the five waterlogged bodies found on Tuesday as that of a 42-year-old Hungarian crew member. The official death toll remained at 11.
The instability of the $563 million vessel, coupled with forecasts of stormy winds for this island off the Tuscan coast, raised fears that the 950-foot-long hull could slide into deeper water. Those fears were reinforced later by Italy's environment minister, Corrado Clini, as he addressed Parliament in Rome.
"The ship is leaning on the right-hand side, on a rocky bottom and next to an escarpment that goes deep down to 50 to 90 meters," he said, and there was a "real risk that that coming sea storms could cause the ship to sink further." The minister also said that structural damage to portions of the ship threatened "potentially dangerous consequences for the environment."
The suspended rescue effort also delayed plans by marine salvage workers to begin extracting the ship's half-million gallons of fuel and other potential pollutants.
A new explanation by Capt. Francesco Schettino, 51, for why he vacated the vessel after he smashed into the rocks last Friday night came as the Italian press pilloried him as negligent, sheepish and fearful. But his earlier account of hitting an uncharted obstruction received a credible boost. Lloyd's List, a leading maritime publication, said on Wednesday that the ship had sailed close to the island last August, when it came within 230 meters of the coast — "slightly closer to the shore than where it subsequently hit rocks on Friday."
Captain Schettino was quoted by La Repubblica as telling investigators that he had not planned to leave the ship as it tilted toward the water.
"The passengers were pouring onto the decks, taking the lifeboats by assault," he said, according to the newspaper. "I didn't even have a life jacket because I had given it to one of the passengers. I was trying to get people to get into the boats in an orderly fashion. Suddenly, since the ship was at a 60-to-70-degree angle, I tripped and I ended up in one of the boats. That's how I found myself there."
The drama has captivated Italy, offering at a time of political and economic uncertainty a national metaphor of hero and antihero: Captain Schettino, accused of leaving the ship prematurely with hundreds still aboard, and Capt. Gregorio Maria De Falco, a coast guard officer, who tried to cajole him via phone into returning and taking command of the evacuation. Leaked transcripts of their heated exchange have dominated the news coverage here, some of which has cast the final moments of the shipwreck as a clash of good and evil.
Referring to Captain De Falco, the headline of a front page editorial in Italy's leading newspaper, Corriere della Sera, on Wednesday said, "Thanks, Captain."
The behavior of the two captains, Aldo Grasso wrote in the newspaper, contrasted the "two souls of Italy" — one represented by a "cowardly fellow who flees his own responsibilities, both as a man and as an official" and the other as the one who tries to bring him back.
A sentence loosely translated into English as "Get back aboard! Damn it," which Captain De Falco shouted at Captain Schettino, has already become a slogan emblazoned on T-shirts.
"It is more than a cry, full of sorrow, it's a motivational hymn, a sign of renewed pride," Mr. Grasso said in Corriere della Sera, while Captain Schettino's insistence that it was too dark to rejoin the vessel was "the cry of a child," according to the columnist Adriano Sofri in La Repubblica.

In an interview with a local newspaper here, Il Tirreno, Captain De Falco was quoted as saying: "I am not a hero or an iron man. My team and I just did our duty."
On Wednesday, Filippo Marini, a coast guard spokesman, said that sensors aboard the vessel recorded slight movements just after first light, forcing divers to delay plans to blast three more holes in the hull to open up new access routes into the vessel. Divers looking for bodies or survivors say it is too risky to enter the hull if there is a chance that the ship will shift further.
"Stability of the ship is crucial to us," said Antonino Pireddo, one of 40 divers with experience working in caves who have been searching the central part of the ship since Tuesday. "The floating furniture does not make our work easier."
Captain Schettino is under house arrest. His lawyer, Bruno Leporatti, said in a statement that his client had saved "hundreds, if not thousands" of lives because he brought the ship close to shore after it hit a rock.
The owner of the vessel, Costa Cruises, has acknowledged that the cruise liner changed course once before, on Aug. 14, to sail close to Giglio, but had insisted that it was never less than 500 meters from the coastline, Lloyd's List reported on Wednesday. But, citing its own tracking facilities, Lloyd's List said the route last August "took the vessel far closer to Giglio than the 500 meters" and within 200 meters of the "point of collision."

Website Copyright Infringement Lawyers Explain – how to win?
Website Copyright Infringment
Website copyright infringement is one of our specialisations within the specialisation of copyright law. I'll come back to what this first sentence means shortly.
This article is a brief discussion on the specialist area of website copyright infringement. To a non-practitioner, the area of intellectual property law can be confusing. Various fields of intellectual property such as trademarks, copyright, patents, design rights, are specialist areas of practice. The additional specialisation is necessary for a particular field. Within copyright law specialisation in specific commercial fields is desirable to build up skills and practical knowledge in that particular field.
Our firm focuses on copyright and trademark law as they relate to information technology, digital media, e-commerce, fashion and retail businesses.
Our clients are mostly fabric and fashion retailers, digital entertainment companies, marketing and advertising enterprises, technology businesses with licensees in Europe, and the United States.
Specialisations within the specialisation
To understand what is meant by "specialisations within the specialisation", we need to go back to some of the basics. If you already have a working knowledge of copyright law bear with me through the following. Only specific works are copyrightable. These works are set out in the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (the "Act"). In fact, at a very high level, the Act is the primary source of UK copyright law, although for specific detailed issues statutes before and after the Act is relevant. Additionally, as the UK is a common law country, case law (which is fluid), and authoritative textbooks should also be consulted.
So s1(1) of the Act sets out the following works as being capable of copyright protection.
"(a)original literary, dramatic, musical or artistic works,
(b)sound recordings, films [or broadcasts], and
(c)the typographical arrangement of published editions."
Leaving aside the issue of "originality" the "Works" are literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, sound recordings, films [or broadcasts], a typographical arrangement of published editions. A lawyer might specialise in fine art. Such a lawyer would be an expert in the area of "artistic" works. Naturally, artistic works do not just involve fine arts, but that is certainly one of the specialisations within "artistic" copyright works. Such a lawyer would represent artists, art dealers, auction houses and probably marketing enterprises. So a lawyer might specialise in fine art within the specialisation of artistic works within the speciality of copyright law.
One of the areas of specialisation of our firm is in website copyright infringement. Website copyright infringement falls within our speciality in electronic, digital media, and copyright law.
The area of website copyright infringement is one of the most exciting of all copyright infringement cases. It is continuously evolving through the growing number of IPEC cases, and the increasing importance of Internet business.
While it is trite law that verbatim copying of photographs (electronic images are included within the definition of photographs in s4(2) of the Act), text, design notes, graphics, databases, music files, audio/visual files, code are all copyright protected. When it comes to website copyright, there are lots of "live" issues including those set out below.
Website Design and layout
1. The issue of whether there is a separate work in the design of the layout of the website is still "live". The question arises as to whether the design of the layout of a website is a separate work or just part of the coding. There is some case law (not UK case law) on the subject to suggest that it might be a separate work. According to R. V Re, the Layout of a Website -(Case 4 Ob 94/01d), the layout of a website is itself a creative work. You should be ready to provide the actual design notes and design layout information. Access to the design notes by the defendant is also desirable, but I don't think it is essential it is by no means a settled area of law, and many say there is no copyright in the design of the layout of a website.
Non-literal copying
2. Another "live" issue is non-literal copying. It is very straightforward when you can show an excerpt of the code from a website and compare it with the code from the site of another business, and there are substantial amounts of the code that are identical. Naturally, lawyers prefer a straightforward situation of literal reproduction that can be easily proven but what if the business copying you have copied your code but built their code on the top of it? Not all cases will come in a perfect package. There may be cases where some work has to be done to prove copyright infringement, and it might mean creating or helping to evolve the law.
S17(2) of the Act says that copying means a reproduction in any material form. The meaning of "in any material form" goes beyond straightforward literal copying and can include copying the structure. This type of non-literal reproduction focuses on whether there was copying of those elements of the original that were capable of copyright protection.
An adaptation of the website
3. There is also the adaptation of website coding. An adaptation concerning software, database and computer code is found in:
S21(3) (ab) as "an arrangement or altered version of the program or a translation of it".
S21(3) (ac) as "in relation to a database, means an arrangement or altered version of the database or a translation of it."
S21(4) as "In relation to a computer program a "translation" includes a version of the program in which it is converted into or out of a computer language or code or into a different computer language or code".
It is not clear why these should not apply to website code in website copyright infringement cases. Software is nothing more than coding stored in a fixed form that runs on the hardware. Website coding runs on the Web and, in my opinion, there is no material difference.
Miscellaneous Issues
There are other issues when bringing a website copyright infringement case. Except for the ideas dichotomy, they are relatively minor issues.
First, you should be aware of the idea/expression dichotomy which overlaps with originality. Works in websites built on WordPress and Joomla will generally not be copyrightable.
Second, make sure you can provide samples of any works you say have been infringed, such as the website creative design file, design notes, code.
Third, you should know who the authors of the works are, the dates of creation and modification.
Fourth, authors should be EEA citizens or from a jurisdiction that the UK recognises as affording copyright protection.
Fifth, copyright is a property right. The people bringing the case must be the owners of the copyright in the website or be entitled by the owners to bring the case. If you are not the owner, then an assignment is necessary.
Finally, I would not advise bringing a website copyright infringement case unless your website cost more than £50,000.00 to design, develop and build. You should also have a minimum budget of £50,000 in costs. Cases do not always cost a minimum of £50,000.00, but bringing this type of litigation which are usually hotly contested, and involve expensive technical experts and reports are a serious business and can cost much more.

It is a tedious process going around the room and filling the gaps between the sheetrock and wood joists where I fit around them. Most likely I will still have to skim over some of these areas with drywall mud, but hopefully the finished product will look good enough to warrant the extra labor. It's simple enough – just masking off the joist with painter's tape, caulking the joint, and removing the tape before the caulk sets up too much:

timeshares costs less than standard hotel rooms. If you are given a timeshare, you'll be on the hook to pay annual maintenance fees roughly $800 a whole year. That's less than 7 nights in the hotel as well as get a lot more. And there's no extra taxes that mysteriously visible on your hotel bill. If you do not own and you are considering holiday rentals for your vacation, then you will pay slightly more than owning but still less than only a hotel living area. If you own, you have also the choice of timeshare transmit. Exchanging a timeshare with another owner means you check out their spot and they travel to yours.

Bike rental shops are around every corner. On balmy winter days, it appears that there a whole lot more people riding bikes than a few obvious methods in auto's. Here are some suggestions for visitors who plan on discovering Sanibel by bi-cycle.
Finally, buy a good book on selling a timeshare yourself and browse it . If you know someone which already completed the process, all superior. The bottom line is of course, be cautious, and do not part company with any funds if you aren't completely associated with the drawbacks.

Simple & Easy Kale Salad
With this simple of a salad there is no excuse not to get your daily amount of greens.
This salad has a ton of benefits not only for your waistline but for your insides.
Kale is a super food and packed with nutrition that puts Kale on the list of the world's healthiest food. Fiber, potassium, vitamin C and B6 found in kale supports heart health. kale also has a high amount of Vitamin K, eating a diet high in Vitamin K can protect against certain kinds of cancers. The list for Kale goes on and on, but besides being great for your body it creates a unique taste in salad.
1 bunch of kale (any variety)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar (preferably unfiltered)
1-2 tablespoons of honey (to taste)
pinch of salt (optional)
choice of toppings such as dried cranberries, sunflower seeds, sprouts, olives, etc
1. Make sure to wash kale well under running water, then chop
2. Mix dressing ingredients (olive oil, vinegar, honey, & salt) together in a bowl
3. Pour over chopped kale and use your hands to massage dressing into kale. You want the dressing to cover the kale as this helps soften the kale.
4. Marinate over a few hours (do not eat right away)
5. Add toppings to taste. I like cranberries with sunflower seeds, or olives and feta… anything goes
What I really like about this salad is that it holds up well when packing it for lunch or a picnic. You can make it in the morning for lunch and there is no wilted lettuce, the dressing is already in place, and all you need to do is add the toppings. Some toppings even hold up well and can be added when you make the salad too.

While the America Institute of Reproductive Medicine – Alabama (AIRM) is not an egg or sperm bank, we do offer donation services for third-party reproduction procedures. Birmingham reproductive endocrinologist Dr. Cecil A. Long has assisted thousands of infertile patients throughout his career. The phrase third-party reproduction means the use of donor eggs, sperm, or embryos to achieve pregnancy. The recipients of those select gametes will then undergo fertility treatments, such as intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilization (IVF). Dr. Long performs egg retrievals and egg transfers at the Brookwood campus. We can help you discover more about this life-giving treatment option at AIRM.
Types of Donations
Egg Donation
If problems with a woman's eggs make it impossible for her to become pregnant, donor eggs can be used in IVF treatment to achieve pregnancy. Women who do not want to pass certain genetic conditions on to their children may also use donor eggs.
Some patients use egg donors they know, such as family members or close friends. Others work with egg donation agencies to find donors, many of whom prefer to remain anonymous. Although women who use egg donation will not be genetically related to their child(ren), they will be able to experience pregnancy and childbirth.
Sperm Donation
Donor sperm is used by patients who do not have a male partner, or by couples whose male partner has a very low sperm count, blocked sperm ducts, or problems with sperm production. Sperm donors are thoroughly screened by sperm banks for communicable diseases. In addition, their sperm is quarantined for 6 months until sexually transmitted disease testing is complete.
According to the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), sperm donation has been used for more than 100 years. The use of donor sperm among couples with male factor infertility has decreased in recent years due to the effectiveness of ICSI, which injects one sperm directly into an egg to increase the chance of fertilization and successful pregnancy.
Embryo Donation & Adoption
When patients have IVF treatment, there may be more fertilized eggs (embryos) created than the individual or couple will use. Some may choose to donate their embryos to other patients experiencing infertility, rather than storing, discarding, or donating their extra embryos to scientific research. Embryo donors may be known to the adoptive parent(s) or remain anonymous.
Patients may consider embryo adoption if they are carriers of genetic disorders and do not wish to pass it on, or are unable to conceive using their own sperm and/or eggs. While they would not be genetically related to their child(ren), embryo adoption makes it possible for the intended parents to be involved in their child's growth and development from the earliest stages.
"After 8 years of infertility, including 7 miscarriages, 2 pre-term labors, failed inseminations and multiple failed IVF--traveling all over the country to see the "best" fertility specialists, we met Dr. Long. As I type this, I hear my twin daughters playing in the background, and I have tears in my eyes."- Anonymous / RateMDs / Aug 21, 2011
"Dr. Long and his entire team at AIRM are a special group of people. They truly care about each of their patients and make us all feel like we are the only ones in the practice. They care about us and their goal is to help make miracles happen - which they do every day. I previously went to another clinic in Birmingham and I have to say the patient experience is night and day in every way possible. From the front desk, to billing, to patient care - this group has been such a blessing. I am so grateful to have a practice with a brilliant Nurse Practitioner, Dr. Karen Hammond, to help guide us through our infertility struggles. Dr. Hammond and Dr. Long are the perfect pairing and I can't say enough good things about AIRM."- Anonymous / RateMDs / Jun 05, 2019
"Dr Long was able to diagnose the cause of my infertility, treat it with the required surgery, and perform 1 IUI to achieve pregnancy. The whole process was so quick but also done with such kindness and care. Once pregnancy was achieved he monitored it so closely and it felt like he cared as much as I did. I felt completely safe in his care. And his entire staff is wonderful! They knew my husband and I by name. Can't say enough good things!"- Anonymous / RateMDs / Jun 04, 2019
"Dr. Long and AIRM truely care about their patients. Their reproductive clinic shows kindness and empathy to patients in an unparalleled manner. Staff members quickly respond to questions and attend to each patient's individual needs."- Anonymous / RateMDs / Jun 03, 2019
"10 years of infertility and multiple doctors - My husband and I saw other fertility specialists both in Birmingham and around the country before going to see Dr. Long. We had been told that we needed an egg donor and possibly a sperm donor by 2 other Drs., but Dr. Long said he felt like we could get pregnant with our own eggs/sperm. He was absolutely right! I'm listening to my 3 year old twins as I type this!! We saw his partners, Dr. Allemond and Dr. Honea, for procedures that fell on the weekends, and I felt comfortable with them as well. I've yet to meet a former patient of Dr. Long who didn't end up having a baby."- Anonymous / Vitals / Apr 10, 2013
Considering Donation?
In fertility treatment, surrogacy is an option for individuals or couples who are unable to carry a pregnancy. A surrogate is a woman who carries and delivers a baby on behalf of its intended parents. In gestational surrogacy, the gestational carrier agrees to have the intended parents' embryo(s) transferred into her uterus, and will carry and deliver their child. In this arrangement, the gestational carrier is not genetically related to the resulting child(ren). The intended parent(s) and the surrogate should seek counseling from a mental health professional who is familiar with the complex psychological and emotional issues related to the surrogacy arrangement.
Who should consider using a donor or a surrogate?
- Men or women who are known carriers of genetic conditions and do not want to pass them on to their child(ren)
- Women who were born without ovaries, have premature ovarian failure, or who have reached menopause
- Women with medical problems in their uterus, who were born without a uterus, who have had hysterectomies, or who currently have medical conditions that make pregnancy impossible or very risky
- Men with azoospermia or very low sperm count, blocked sperm ducts, or sperm quality problems
- Men or women who have been treated for cancer or other serious diseases using radiation or chemotherapy that has damaged their fertility
- Women or couples who have experienced several unsuccessful cycles of IVF due to poor egg or embryo quality
Donation Techniques
To begin the egg donation process, both the donor and the recipient take birth control pills to synchronize their menstrual cycles. While the egg donor takes stimulation medication, the donor egg recipient takes hormonal medication to prepare her uterus for pregnancy. The recipient is monitored with labs and sonograms (typically 2 – 4 times during the cycle) to evaluate endometrial development. Medications might be adjusted during this time frame.
On the day of the donor's egg retrieval, the intended male parent (IP) will be asked to provide a specimen to use for IVF. The donor eggs are then fertilized using the male partner's sperm or donor's sperm in a laboratory using IVF. Over the next few days, embryos are monitored by the embryologist for growth and development. 3 – 5 days after fertilization, the most promising embryos are transferred to the recipient's uterus, where they will hopefully implant and grow into a healthy pregnancy.
Egg Donation Risks
The risks involved in egg and embryo donation are comparable to those involved in traditional IVF. Sperm donation presents minimal health risks to the recipient, since the sperm donor is thoroughly screened and the sperm is quarantined prior to donation to ensure it is disease free.
Donation and surrogacy can be emotionally or psychologically challenging for patients and their families. Counseling by professionals who are experienced in providing support to fertility patients can be very beneficial. Partnering with a surrogate or gestational carrier involves some legal risks related to the complex contracts used to define the relationships and outcomes. Prospective parents should seek advice from lawyers who are experienced in the field of third-party reproduction.

Knockerball Rome
- Rental Equipment-Home/Party/Contractor
Knockerball Rome is a party rental service. So knockerball I have been doing the longest. That is the inflatable balls you get in but not completely. Your legs hang out so you can run around and hit each other and play different games. The next thing I have is called Archery Tag which is basically a mixture of paintball and dodge ball with bows and arrows. you play it just like you would a dodge ball game except you are playing with a bow and arrow. Then I also have two interactive inflatables. the first one is called s.a.f.e. archery (hoverball). This is an 8 ft. tall by 10 ft. wide inflatable that has four spots where air shoots out and a ball hovers and you try to knock the ball down with a bow and arrow. Last but not least is an 8 ft. soccer darts board. So with this inflatable you can kick soccer balls at it and it is Velcro so it will stick to the board. Also with this I have Velcro tipped arrows so shooting arrows at the board is also an option. All of these that i have mentioned are great for Birthday parties, Church groups, School and college functions, Company picnics, Team building and just about any other fun occasion you can think of. so don't miss out and get in touch with me for more information today!
I drive to your location!

It's been a 14 years this year of designing space to shift lives. In that span of 14 awesome years, I've realized that what works for you to create success and a feeling of being at home may not work for another person, that a Feng Shui tip is only great if it is customized and that our experiences and creative minds are deeply individual.
It's wild to look back on a more than a decade and realize you've only just begun to learn the vastness of what you're doing.
But, in the process of creating so far, many themes have emerged for me and for my clients and friends that have led us down paths toward all types of success.
Today, as I embark on a new chapter in so many ways and find myself reaching toward these themes, it seemed the ideal day to share them in one bundle!
Want to creatively set yourself up for success?
Get the tools you need. I just got a power drill as a gift! I feel as though I can do about 15 things I have dreamed of doing in my home that I couldn't do before this.
This is a large example of an actual "tool" but there are other tools we may need. Classes. Technology. Phone apps. Therapy. Books.
I have used all of the above as tools for learning, growing and creating more effectively.
Eliminate the distractions that you don't need. Create happiness from within and put some space between you and any distracting drama, people who are draining for no good reason and other sources of emotional stress and turmoil that are easy to avoid. Shut the TV, shut your phone off… get some space when you are looking to soar!
Create the space that supports you. This guy and his plush toys by my side as I create every day is one of the more supportive things I've done in my home. Think literally about a home that supports you- a desk chair that is super-ergonomic, a clear work or creativity space, a supportive mattress, clean floors under foot. All of this makes a huge difference.
Reflect on your own habits and adjust accordingly. This is a big deal. We are usually what stands in the way of our own forward motion. Polish your mirrors and create a clear reflection for yourself of what you can shift in your life to feel better every day.
Find yourself a mentor or great example. I am not one to follow what other people do, but I am a fan of great examples of success that create more possibility. For example, I'm not suggesting you dress, talk and think like your friend who has been happily married for 10 years so that you can have your own husband (*and I have seen that suggested in many places by many people!) but, I am suggesting you remind yourself of all the people you know like her and many others and think of them when you find yourself doubting whether or not your own marriage is possible.
Also, if you are in a creative field where you're carving your own path, you might find kindred souls in other disciplines that light you up and remind you that it's all possible.
Cultivate a vision. How will you know you succeeded? I can't tell you how many times I've wanted something so badly but never dared to get specific enough to name what it was and to find it or create it clearly. A super-clear vision will help bring life to life, especially if you daydream about it daily and feel it excite you!
Use invisible architecture to light your path every day. Learn some energy techniques for your space, practice space clearing for your home, do some incredible experiments with aromatherapy in beauty (it's now almost all I use!), in room sprays, in baths and showers, in housecleaning…
Practice mindfulness.Practice connecting to Nature.
Every way you can learn to elevate your energy every day is what will guide you most, it will keep the space soaring around you, it will turn on the switches to more creative electricity… and it's all awesome!!!
There are infinite ways to accomplish any and all of this for yourself. When I'm creating the new, I find myself in these realms, sweeping away blocks, shifting routines, tapping into energetic magic and spirit… and when I do, everything rises higher!!!
The key is to have fun with it. If you make this stuff of dreams into an arduous or self-punishing task, you'll find yourself in a no-win battle. If it becomes painful, it ceases to be creative. If it drags you into self-blame, it ceases to be inspiring. If it triggers perfectionism, back away and do less.
Flow with fun and this will bring you such better results! Each new step along the path can be, at the very least, engaging and full of curiosity, and, at most, totally thrilling!
Wishing you lots of love pouring toward your dreams!

Here's a great testimonial from Bill Coleman, a current Integrity merchant who uses our Auto Save program.
The main reason I am doing business with Integrity is the low merchant transaction rates, but I have to say that I am thrilled with the Auto Save program! As sole proprietor of a small business it has been tough, especially during this particularly lean economic period, to make ends meet let alone save money. I don't feel comfortable having multiple hundreds of dollars auto drafted out of my account every month to go into savings and I admittedly lack the discipline to transfer it every month on my own. Having a small percentage of every transaction go into savings is almost like watching money magically grow; I never even miss the money and if I did, a couple of strokes on the keyboard and I could transfer the money back into my business account (haven't needed to yet).
I have seen Bank of America's Keep the Change program and wished I could have something like that, but this is even better. Instead of spending to save, my saving is based on how much I am earning. The other big advantage is that I am saving in tens of dollars, rather than fractions of dollars (so far I've been averaging about five hundred a month.
I don't know how much effort it takes to facilitate this service, but it really doesn't matter as far as my praise goes. The main thing is that Integrity has found a very simple and highly effective tool to help me help myself. The fact that Integrity has taken the foresight and initiative to offer this program highly impresses me and I will continue to spread the good news about this great service to my other contacts in the business community.
Thank you so much,
Bill Coleman, LMT

Feeling frustrated and alone and unsupported.
Doing my best to take care of the people in my life
but feeling as though I'm going it alone.
Busy with many hats and unsure what to do next.
In limbo.

Lots of mixed up feelings as the days go by.
Wish I knew exactly what to do and say.

text: Welcome to my Blog! My first blog post? Well actually it is not. I have run blogs on and off for quite a few years but never published them. So technically this is my first proper one! I aim to keep them short and sweet, no more than 300 words (so I have about 250 left). If you ever pass me when I am driving to work, I am easy to spot. I will be the one chatting away to myself, laughing and smiling at my waffling's. And yes that is exactly what it is, my regular 'Waffle to Work' where I set up the video on my smart phone, hit record and then leave the drive way. Not brave enough to publish these yet on You Tube but never say never! So here it is, my words of deep contemplation and reflection for today. As a Buddhist I follow the idea of the wheel of life – you are born, you live, you die, you are reborn and so on until you escape this and achieve Enlightenment. And today as I type I am reflecting on the mini cycles in our every day lives. We get stuck in our ways, we develop habits and habitual responses. We become blinkered and stop 'smelling the bread'. What we need to do is to step back outside of the bread shop, take a little time to reflect and breathe some fresh clean air – and if you want to go back in then great. But maybe, just maybe you might choose a different shop! Or even not a shop at all.....the options are very exciting and very many. So today I will leave you to ponder on your own bread shops, and fill your lungs with some wonderful and fresh air and to seek out new, different and better ways to live and choices to make. Have a wonderful day! Big love Graham (18 words over!)

Seventeen-year-old Hazel Grace Lancaster reluctantly goes to a disease patients' care group at her mom's command. In view of her malignant growth, she utilizes a versatile oxygen tank to inhale legitimately. In one of the gatherings she grabs the attention of an adolescent kid, and through the course of the gathering she takes in the kid's name is Augustus Waters. He's there to help their shared companion, Isaac. Isaac had a tumor in one eye that he had evacuated, and now he must have his other eye taken out also. After the gathering closes, Augustus approaches Hazel and discloses to her she looks like Natalie Portman in V for Vendetta. He welcomes Hazel to his home to watch the film, and keeping in mind that hanging out, the two examine their encounters with malignancy. Hazel uncovers she has thyroid malignant growth that has spread to her lungs. Augustus had osteosarcoma, however he is currently malignant growth free in the wake of having his leg cut away. Before Augustus takes Hazel home, they consent to peruse each other's most loved books. Augustus gives Hazel The Price of Dawn, and Hazel suggests An Imperial Affliction.
Hazel clarifies the eminence of An Imperial Affliction: It is a novel about a young lady named Anna who has malignant growth, and it's the main record she's perused of living with disease that coordinates her experience. She portrays how the novel maddeningly closes midsentence, denying the peruser conclusion about the destiny of the novel's characters. She theorizes about the novel's baffling creator, Peter Van Houten, who fled to Amsterdam after the novel was distributed and hasn't been gotten notification from since.
Seven days after Hazel and Augustus talk about the artistic importance of An Imperial Affliction, Augustus phenomenally uncovers he found Van Houten's partner, Lidewij, and through her he's figured out how to begin an email correspondence with the antisocial creator. He shares Van Houten's letter with Hazel, and she devises a rundown of inquiries to send Van Houten, planning to clear up the novel's vague decision. Hazel is most worried about the destiny of Anna's mom. She assumes that if Anna's mom endures her little girl's passing, at that point her very own folks will be okay after Hazel bites the dust. Van Houten in the end answers, saying he could just answer Hazel's inquiries face to face. He welcomes her to stop by in the event that she is ever in Amsterdam.
Soon after Augustus welcomes Hazel on an excursion. It turns out he's arranged an intricate Dutch-themed excursion where he uncovers that a magnanimous establishment that allows the desires of children with disease has consented to give his: he's taking both of them to Amsterdam to meet Van Houten. She is excited, yet when he contacts her face she feels reluctant for reasons unknown. After some time she understands that she prefers him a great deal, however she realizes she'll hurt him when she kicks the bucket. She analyzes herself to an explosive.
Amidst her battle over what to do about Augustus, Hazel endures a genuine scene in which her lungs load up with liquid and she goes to the ICU. When she is discharged following a time of days, she discovers that Augustus never left the healing center's sitting area. He conveys Hazel another letter from Van Houten, this one more close to home and more obscure than the last. Subsequent to perusing the letter, Hazel is more decided than any other time in recent memory to go to Amsterdam. There is an issue however: Her folks and her group of specialists don't think Hazel is solid enough to travel. The circumstance appears to be sad until one of the doctors most comfortable with her case, Dr. Maria, persuades Hazel's folks that Hazel must go on the grounds that she needs to carry on with her life.
The designs are made for Augustus, Hazel, and Hazel's mom to go to Amsterdam, however when Hazel and Augustus meet Van Houten they find that, rather than a productive virtuoso, he is a gutless smashed who claims he can't answer any of Hazel's inquiries. The two leave Van Houten's in absolute dissatisfaction, and joined by Lidewij, who feels astonished by Van Houten's conduct, they visit Anne Frank's home. Toward the finish of the visit, Augustus and Hazel offer a sentimental kiss, to the acclaim of onlookers. They make a beeline for the inn where they have intercourse for the solitary time. The next day, Augustus admits that while Hazel was in the ICU he had a body filter which uncovered his malignancy has returned and spread all over the place. They come back to Indianapolis, and Hazel acknowledges Augustus is presently the projectile. As his condition declines he is less inclined to his run of the mill appeal and certainty. He ends up helpless and terrified, however is as yet a lovely kid in Hazel's psyche. As this change happens, she stops calling him Augustus and begins alluding to him as only Gus, as his folks do. Hazel perceives that she adores him now as much as ever. Augustus' condition break down rapidly. In his last days Augustus organizes a prefuneral for himself, and Isaac and Hazel give tributes. Hazel takes a line from Van Houten about bigger and littler interminabilities. She says the amount she cherishes Augustus, and that she would not exchange their brief span together to anything on the planet.
Augustus passes on eight days after the fact. Hazel is astounded to discover Van Houten at the memorial service. Van Houten clarifies that he and Gus kept up correspondence and that Augustus requested Van Houten compensate for demolishing the excursion to Amsterdam by going to his burial service to see Hazel. Van Houten conceptually uncovers the destiny of Anna's mom, however Hazel isn't intrigued. A couple of days after the fact Isaac educates Hazel that Augustus was composing something for her. He had indicated about composition a spin-off of An Imperial Affliction for her, and as Hazel scrambles to find the pages she experiences Van Houten yet again. He unsteadily uncovers that Anna was the name of his girl. She kicked the bucket of malignant growth when she was eight, and An Imperial Affliction was his artistic endeavor at accommodating himself with her demise. Hazel discloses to Van Houten to calm down and compose another book.
Inevitably Hazel discovers that Augustus sent the pages to Van Houten in light of the fact that he needed Van Houten to utilize the pages to create an elegantly composed commendation about Hazel. Lidewij powers Van Houten to peruse the pages and sends them straight off to Hazel. The tale closes with Hazel perusing Augustus' words. He says getting injured in this world is unavoidable, yet we do get the opportunity to pick who we permit to hurt us, and that he his content with his decision. He trusts she loves her decision as well. The last expressions of the novel originate from Hazel, who says she does.

When Minecraft added a way of adding variant textures into the game, I wanted to play with it. I created a resource pack named "On a Theme". I have lost most of the screenshots that I took while using it, but I did find one demonstrating it on lilypads.
I ended up having variants for each flower (and there's quite a lot of those too), and added variations to a lot of other blocks. Chiseled sandstone is known for having a creeper face inside it, but I added other creatures to it (and a secret).
However, there was more work to do than just creating textures. Minecraft uses a JSON-based declaration system in its resource packs. This got extremely tedious to do by hand (which I did for the first version). Since I was learning how to write code, I thought that I'd put those skills to good use. Add blocks, add variants, add names, and generate. Really, it just ended up being a GUI on top of the JSON, but it ended up saving me a lot of time, and allowed me to continue to add new variants to the pack.
This was the first project I ever put on GitHub. It is also a snapshot of my early code. It's nice to look back and see how I thought about problems before, and see how that has changed over time.

Alexander III Alexandrovich (10 March [O.S. 26 February] 1845 – 1 November [O.S. 20 October] 1894) (Russian: Александр III Александрович, Aleksandr III Aleksandrovich), also known as Alexander the Peacemaker (Russian: Александр Миротворец, Aleksandr Mirotvorets) reigned as Emperor of Russia from 13 March 1881 until his death in 1894.
Alexander III was born in Saint Petersburg, the second son of Tsar Alexander II by his wife Princess Marie of Hesse and by Rhine.
In disposition, he bore little resemblance to his soft-hearted, liberal father, and still less to his refined, philosophic, sentimental, chivalrous, yet cunning granduncle Alexander I, who coveted the title of "the first gentleman of Europe".
Although an enthusiastic amateur musician and patron of the ballet, he was seen as lacking refinement and elegance. Indeed, he rather relished the idea of being of the same rough texture as the great majority of his subjects.
His straightforward, abrupt manner savoured sometimes of gruffness, while his direct, unadorned method of expressing himself harmonized well with his rough-hewn, immobile features and somewhat sluggish movements. His education was not such as to soften these peculiarities.
He was also noted for his immense physical strength, though the large wen on the left side of his nose caused him to be severely mocked by his contemporaries. He always sat for photographs and portraits with the right side of his face most prominent.
Perhaps an account from the memoirs of the artist Alexander Benois best describes an impression of Alexander III:
After a performance of the ballet 'Tsar Kandavl' at the Mariinsky Theatre, I first caught sight of the Emperor. I was struck by the size of the man, and although cumbersome and heavy, he was still a mighty figure. There was indeed something of the muzhik [Russian peasant] about him. The look of his bright eyes made quite an impression on me. As he passed where I was standing, he raised his head for a second, and to this day I can remember what I felt as our eyes met. It was a look as cold as steel, in which there was something threatening, even frightening, and it struck me like a blow. The Tsar's gaze! The look of a man who stood above all others, but who carried a monstrous burden and who every minute had to fear for his life and the lives of those closest to him. In later years I came into contact with the Emperor on several occasions, and I felt not the slightest bit timid. In more ordinary cases Tsar Alexander III could be at once kind, simple, and even almost homely.
Though he was destined to be one of the great counter-reforming Tsars, during the first twenty years of his life, Alexander had little prospect of succeeding to the throne, because he had an elder brother, Nicholas, who seemed of robust constitution.
Even when this elder brother first showed symptoms of delicate health, the notion that he might die young was never seriously taken; Nicholas was betrothed to the Princess Dagmar of Denmark.
Under these circumstances, the greatest solicitude was devoted to the education of Nicholas as Tsarevich, whereas Alexander received only the perfunctory and inadequate training of an ordinary Grand Duke of that period, which did not go much beyond secondary instruction, with practical acquaintance in French, English and German, and a certain amount of military drill.
As Tsesarevich
Alexander became heir apparent with the sudden death of his elder brother in 1865.
It was then that he began to study the principles of law and administration under Konstantin Pobedonostsev, then a professor of civil law at Moscow State University and later (from 1880) chief procurator of the Holy Synod.
Pobedonostsev awakened in his pupil very little love of abstract studies or prolonged intellectual exertion, but he did influence the character of Alexander's reign by instilling into the young man's mind the belief that zeal for Russian Orthodox thought was an essential factor of Russian patriotism and that this was to be specially cultivated by every right-minded Tsar.
On his deathbed, Alexander's elder brother Nicholas is said to have expressed the wish that his affianced bride, Princess Dagmar of Denmark, should marry his successor.
This wish was swiftly realized, when on 9 November [O.S. 28 October] 1866 in the Imperial Chapel of the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg, Alexander wed the Princess of Denmark.
The union proved a most happy one and remained unclouded to the end. Unlike that of his parents, there was no adultery in the marriage.
During those years when he was heir-apparent—1865 to 1881—Alexander did not play a prominent part in public affairs, but he allowed it to become known that he had certain ideas of his own which did not coincide with the principles of the existing government.
Reign (1881-1894)
Domestic policies
During the campaign in Bulgaria he had found by painful experience that grave disorders and gross corruption existed in the military administration, and after his return to Saint Petersburg he had discovered that similar abuses existed in the naval department. For these abuses, several high-placed personages—among others two of the grand-dukes—were believed to be responsible, and he called his father's attention to the subject. His representations were not favourably received. Alexander II had lost much of the reforming zeal that distinguished the first decade of his reign, and had no longer the energy required to undertake the task suggested to him. The consequence was that the relations between father and son became more strained. The latter must have felt that there would be no important reforms until he himself succeeded to the direction of affairs. That change was much nearer at hand than was commonly supposed. On 13 March 1881 Alexander II was assassinated by a band of Nihilists, Narodnaya Volya (People's Will), and the autocratic power passed to the hands of his son.
In the last years of his reign, Alexander II had been very concerned by the spread of Nihilist doctrines and the increasing number of anarchist conspiracies, and for some time he had hesitated between strengthening the hand of the executive and making concessions to the widespread political aspirations of the educated classes. Finally he decided in favour of the latter course, and on the very day of his death he signed an ukaz creating a number of consultative commissions that might easily have been transformed into an assembly of notables.
Following the advice of his political mentor Konstantin Pobedonostsev, Alexander III determined to adopt the opposite policy. He at once canceled the ukaz before it was published, and in the manifesto announcing his accession to the throne he let it be very clearly understood that he had no intention of limiting or weakening the autocratic power that he had inherited from his ancestors. Nor did he afterwards show any inclination to change his mind.
All the internal reforms that he initiated were intended to correct what he considered as the too-liberal tendencies of the previous reign, so that he left behind him the reputation of a sovereign of the retrograde type. In his opinion Russia was to be saved from anarchical disorders and revolutionary agitation, not by the parliamentary institutions and so-called liberalism of western Europe, but by the three principles that the elder generation of the Slavophiles systematically recommended—nationality, Eastern Orthodoxy and autocracy. His political ideal was a nation containing only one nationality, one language, one religion and one form of administration; and he did his utmost to prepare for the realization of this ideal by imposing the Russian language and Russian schools on his German, Polish and other non-Russian subjects (with the exception of the Finns), by fostering Eastern Orthodoxy at the expense of other confessions, by persecuting the Jews and by destroying the remnants of German, Polish and Swedish institutions in the outlying provinces. These policies were implemented by "May Laws" that banned Jews from rural areas and shtetls even within the Pale of Settlement.
In the other provinces he sought to counteract what he considered the excessive liberalism of his father's reign. For this purpose he removed what little power was wielded by the zemstvo, an elective local administration resembling the county and parish councils in England, and placed the autonomous administration of the peasant communes under the supervision of landed proprietors appointed by the government. These came to be known as land captains, who were much feared and resented amongst the peasant communities throughout Russia. At the same time he sought to strengthen and centralize the Imperial administration and to bring it more under his personal control.
Alexander III engaged in antisemitic policies[citation needed] such as tightening restrictions on where Jews could live in the Pale of Settlement and restricting the occupations that Jews could attain. The pogroms of 1881 occurred at the beginning of Alexander III's reign. Policies under both Alexander III and his successor, Nicholas II, encouraged some Jews to emigrate from 1880 on (emigration to the United States). The administration of Alexander III enacted the May Laws in 1882 that imposed conditions on the Jews as a people for their role in the assassination of Alexander II.
With encouragement from the successful assassination of his father, Alexander II, in 1881, the Peoples Will planned the murder of Tsar Alexander III. The plot was unsuccessful, one of the conspirators captured, Aleksandr Ulyanov, was sentenced to death and hanged on 5 May 1887. Ulyanov was the brother of Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, who would later take the pseudonym V.I. Lenin. The Emperor also survived the Borki train disaster of 1888. At the moment of the crash the royal family was in the dining car. Its roof collapsed in the crash, and Alexander held the remains of the roof on his shoulders as the children fled outdoors. The onset of Alexander's kidney failure was later linked to the blunt trauma suffered at Borki.
Foreign policy
In foreign affairs Alexander was emphatically a man of peace, but not at all a partisan of the doctrine of peace at any price, and he followed the principle that the best means of averting war is to be well prepared for it. Though indignant at the conduct of Prince Bismarck towards Russia, he avoided an open rupture with Germany, and even revived for a time the Three Emperors' Alliance.
It was only in the last years of his reign, when Mikhail Katkov had acquired a certain influence over him, that he adopted a more hostile attitude towards the cabinet of Berlin, and even then he confined himself to keeping a large number of troops near the German frontier, and establishing cordial relations with France. With regard to Bulgaria he exercised similar self-control. The efforts of Prince Alexander and afterwards of Stambolov to destroy Russian influence in the principality excited his indignation, but he persistently vetoed all proposals to intervene by force of arms.
In Central Asian affairs he followed the traditional policy of gradually extending Russian domination without provoking a conflict with the United Kingdom (see Panjdeh Incident), and he never allowed the bellicose partisans of a forward policy to get out of hand. As a whole his reign cannot be regarded as one of the eventful periods of Russian history; but it must be admitted that under his hard, unsympathetic rule the country made considerable progress. Emperor Alexander and his Danish-born wife regularly spent their summers in their Langinkoski manor near Kotka on the Finnish coast, where their children were immersed in a Scandinavian lifestyle of relative modesty. He deprecated what he considered undue foreign influence in general, and German influence in particular, so the adoption of genuine national principles was off in all spheres of official activity, with a view to realizing his ideal of a homogeneous Russia—homogeneous in language, administration and religion. With such ideas and aspirations he could hardly remain permanently in cordial agreement with his father, who, though a good patriot according to his lights, had strong German sympathies, often used the German language in his private relations, occasionally ridiculed the exaggerations and eccentricities of the Slavophiles and based his foreign policy on the Prussian alliance.
The antagonism first appeared publicly during the Franco-Prussian War, when the Tsar supported the cabinet of Berlin and the Tsarevich did not conceal his sympathies for the French. It reappeared in an intermittent fashion during the years 1875–1879, when the Eastern question produced so much excitement in all ranks of Russian Society. At first the Tsarevich was more Slavophile than the government, but his phlegmatic nature preserved him from many of the exaggerations indulged in by others, and any of the prevalent popular illusions he may have imbibed were soon dispelled by personal observation in Bulgaria, where he commanded the left wing of the invading army.
Never consulted on political questions, he confined himself to his military duties and fulfilled them in a conscientious and unobtrusive manner. After many mistakes and disappointments, the army reached Constantinople and the Treaty of San Stefano was signed, but much that had been obtained by that important document had to be sacrificed at the Congress of Berlin. Bismarck failed to do what was confidently expected of him by the Russian Tsar. In return for the Russian support, which had enabled him to create the German Empire,[citation needed] it was thought that he would help Russia to solve the Eastern question in accordance with her own interests, but to the surprise and indignation of the cabinet of Saint Petersburg he confined himself to acting the part of "honest broker" at the Congress, and shortly afterwards he ostentatiously contracted an alliance with Austria for the express purpose of counteracting Russian designs in Eastern Europe. The Tsarevich could point to these results as confirming the views he had expressed during the Franco-Prussian War, and he drew from them the practical conclusion that for Russia the best thing to do was to recover as quickly as possible from her temporary exhaustion and to prepare for future contingencies by a radical scheme of military and naval reorganization. In accordance with this conviction, he suggested that certain reforms should be introduced.
Death and legacy
Alexander III became ill with nephritis in 1894, and died of this disease at the Livadia Palace on 1 November 1894. His remains were interred at the Peter and Paul Fortress in Saint Petersburg. He was succeeded by his eldest son Nicholas II.
An equestrian statue of Tsar Alexander sculpted by Paolo Troubetzkoy once graced Znamenskaya Square in front of the Moscow Rail Terminal in St. Petersburg. It was later moved to the inner courtyard of the Marble Palace. Another memorial is located in the city of Irkutsk at the Angara embankment.
Alexander III had six children of his marriage with Princess Dagmar of Denmark, also known as Marie Feodorovna.

"Designed Landscapes – Brussels 1775-2020" at CIVA Brussels
November 23, 2018
Designed Landscapes proposes a new perspective on the Brussels Region landscape, leading to discover the exceptionnal history of its parks and public gardens. Through original documents, partly unreleased, the exhibition offers an overall vision on the landscape creations between 1775 and the contemporary period, their authors as well as the historical and political context.
The exhibition aims to position Brussels' landscape creations in an international cultural frame and to give value to the specific tools employed by a landscape designer.To understand the vast temporal arc that extends from the 1775s to the contemporary period, this is the ambition that the CIVA has set itself to give the visitor a real overview of the landscape creations of the capital. Not only the works – parks, gardens, avenues planted – but also their authors, often unknown, will be highlighted during this exhibition.
Practical Information
"Designed Landscapes – Brussels 1775-2020"
November 16, 2018 – March 31, 2019
CIVA Brussels
Rue de l'Ermitage Kluis 55, Brussels
On a vast timeline that unfolds in the great room of the CIVA, the visitor will discover, throughout his career, the succession of great stylistic eras, moments of rupture, changes in fashion and taste … But he can also, in a multistake reading, discover the major historical and political events, contemporary artistic movements (visual arts, architecture, music …), and compare Brussels creations with those of other European capitals: Paris, New York , Berlin …
The originality of the development of Brussels' landscaped areas is undeniable, but it has rarely been put in context with the creations of other major capitals. What was happening in Paris, London or Berlin when Leopold II imagined large parks for Brussels? What were the big models, the influences? What are the trends in contemporary practice?
All this, the visitor can discover during his wandering, which is also enriched by the presentation of original and rare documents and objects never shown: plans, manuscripts, sculptures, paintings … A section is particularly dedicated to the figure the landscape architect and his "tools", and highlights the work on the topography, the use of water, vegetation, but also the work on the dimension of time.
A section dedicated to the horticulture makes it possible to grasp the importance of the vegetable palette, and its evolution over the centuries. Thus, this exhibition invites the visitor to discover the many facets of Brussels landscape art, allowing it to be placed in a broad context, but also to grasp the way in which these spaces, imagined and drawn over the centuries, have profoundly shaped the the face of the city as we know it today.

A QR Code App Helps Bar Goers Break the Ice
It's nice to know QR codes are helping men and women find love.
And increasing beer sales during happy hour at the same time.
In Singapore, that is.
Using a QR code app, Harry's Bar launched the "Bottle Message" campaign. Bar patrons could purchase beers and send them to a potential love interest across the room with the help of QR codes.
The beer bottle arrives with a tag, including instructions on how to download the mobile app, retrieve the attached message from an admirer, and start a conversation with their mobile phone.
The video below shows how the QR code app works, but basically the owners were looking for a way to sell more beer.
They achieved their goal, noting that people using the app are buying, on average, twice as much beer as they did without it.
But in the process they found their customers were interacting much more than before. And people were having a lot of fun with the app.
Have you seen or tried a marketing campaign similar to this one? Leave a comment below.
