Product Fits: True to size / True to Width
Certainly time for a CURRENT review....Love my new black Dove shoes. Bought a pair about 6 years ago that needed to be retired. The quality of my new shoes is exactly what I expected. The only thinng I noticed was that the instep is a bit higher. Would I buy another pair....Yes!

Product Fits: Half size smaller / Narrow Fit
I have worn the white Dove shoes for 16 years when last year our new food service company decided to go to black. I ordered the black ones and they were not like the white ones at all. They were a smaller fit and the soles were stiffer. The soles were different from the white ones. While wearing the white ones my feet did not hurt at all at the end of my 9 hour day. With the black ones my feet%2c legs%2c and back hurt. I thought I had to break them in%2c but by December I was spray painting my white ones black. I will be looking for different styles and reading reviews on all of them. I never had a problem with Nurse Mates before and will continue to try different ones.
Review by: Sonia%20Pinkney, Elkton%2c FL, 7/30/2015
I have worn the white shoes for over 5 years with no problem. Actually%2c the best shoe I%27ve ever tried. However%2c this year my husband surprised me with a black pair %26 I must say it fits nothing like the white ones. At first%2c I thought it was because I had to break them in %28which I never had to do with the white%29 so I have been wearing them for about 2- 3 weeks now. But after the pain in my feet I experienced today%2c I can barely walk. There is something completely different in the way the black ones are being made. The fit is too snug and I feel like I have just spent the last 4 days walking in heels. Not a good experience at all. Someone really needs to look into this issue. I work to hard %26 pay too much to be in pain. Totally unacceptable. Please investigate as in reading the comments I realized I am not the only one with this issue with the black pair.

Tooth sensitivity can manifest in one or more teeth in the form of pain or a sharp stinging sensation if you are trying to enjoy sweet, acidic, hot, or cold treats. If you have tooth sensitivity, you can try brushing your teeth with a sensitivity toothpaste. While this may help to treat the problem, we encourage you to visit the dentist to ensure it's not simply masking a larger dental issue. Our dentist and team will gladly perform a dental exam to identify the cause of your tooth sensitivity.
Multiple cavities on your teeth or cavities that have penetrated or exposed the internal tooth structures typically cause dental pain. If this has happened in your smile, you may experience increased sensitivity and a change in tooth texture.
To treat tooth sensitivity caused by tooth decay, Dr. Robert Seaman may use a dental filling or crown to repair the damaged tooth. Cavities that aren't treated will spread throughout the tooth and cause an infection in the gums or tooth root that could lead to the loss of the tooth.
If you are struggling with tooth sensitivity in Lenexa, Kansas, contact Seaman Family Dentistry at 913-353-4095 today, especially if you suspect your sensitivity is linked to a dental cavity.

Bill to Compensate Fire Victims Moves Forward
By Andrea Chalfin News Dir. On May 1, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Bente Birkeland, Capitol Coverage, KRCC News, Uncategorized, Wildfires
About two-dozen victims of the Lower North Fork Fire were at the state capitol yesterday to hear lawmakers debate a bill that would create a commission to help compensate them above current state requirements. The Republican proposal has pushback from some Democrats and Governor John Hickenlooper. Bente Birkeland has more from the state capitol.

In Irchester, we have now committed to doing a whole school "Science & something" week each half term. In the past we have had "Science & Writing" week, "Science and Maths" week etc. When we come back after Christmas break we are doing "Science & Art" week which we are all very excited about especially since Mrs Tyrrell found this picture!
Last Tuesday, we let our school pupils vote to decide what our next "Science and ?" would be. "Science & Technology" came out on top with a whopping 55% votes! Comparing that with "Science & History" which was second with 20%, demand for more technology in school is mammoth! There were a lot of subjects on offer and technology must have been very popular with everyone. Technology is one of the main subjects in STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths.) Both I and the rest of the committee think it will be very exciting thinking about STEM, technology, programming and codeclub together because a lot of people can get involved more than ever.

Now onto Promo School Part III: To Pay or Not to Pay. (If you haven't read Promo School Parts I and II--here are the links: http://threewickedwriters.blogspot.com/2010/11/promo-school.html and http://threewickedwriters.blogspot.com/2010/11/promo-school-part-ii.html )
Most authors depend on free promotions to get the word out about their books. And there is certainly nothing at all wrong with that. Not at all. It's kind of hard to invest money when your work hasn't started making any, isn't it? And then there is this: You can't make money without spending money. Hmmm…reminds me of the chicken or egg thing. And when it comes to money, we almost always have to go with what's in our wallet, don't we?
Personally, I'd advise that you get your bearings in all of this promo before you venture out into the world of paid advertising. Dip your toes into the blogging waters and certainly join and participate on some Yahoo groups. You have to learn as much as you can before you can spend money. Makes no sense to invest dollars if you don't know what you're doing. As an editor, I've often been asked about house style. Usually writers want to know why there's a need to learn all those punctuation rules and all those other little things that go along with writing if house style is different at each publisher and you never know what it is until you're there. My answer has always been that in order to know where the rules CAN be broken, you must know the rules. If you have a firm understanding of writing, then you know what is truly important and what isn't. It's the same thing with promo in general. You've got to understand the nature of the beast.
Look at what other authors are doing promo-wise. Is it something that appeals to you? Take a step back and look at it as a reader. Will it turn a reader on or off? Is it something that you can put your own spin on and make it yours? Think about how much time you have to invest. You always need to leave NO stone unturned, but at the same time if you're busting your buns at something and getting zero in return—let it go—or cut back on your efforts in that direction. What works for one author doesn't always work for another. So I'm not suggesting you mimic other authors—just learn from them. Another thing—what works for one genre may not work for another. You have to pay attention.
Today I have a guest. Promo guru, Destiny Blaine. You can find her here: http://destinyblaine.com And here: http://www.destinyblaine.com/DestinyBlaineProductions.htm
Destiny is a full-time writer and she's been at it for years. She is my go to person for promotion advice and myriad other things as well. When I'm looking for answers, I talk to Destiny. Lol She's amazing. A straight shooter and a major talent. Let's listen to what she has to say…
In today's market, advertising is crucial. Promoting your book is, in my opinion, mandatory. If an author wants to stick around for the long haul, they should get out there and interact with readers and fellow authors. However, self-promotion alone won't sell books to every potential reader because of the obvious reasons—not every reader will frequent blogs and Yahoo loops. That said, I'm sold on the power of self-promotion. However, the following old adage rings true in book sales—in order to make money, you have to spend money. If you want to sell your book, you should advertise in various places, online and off. It's equally important to look for the most cost effective places to advertise. Tess asked if I had any thoughts on how much an author should spend on advertising. At one point, we were spending all over the board, no thanks to my method of keeping books—which more or less meant if I saw money in the business account I spent it until I hit the 20% cap—but now my husband manages our business office and he's more structured and practical. Based on proof he's provided, spending the 20% isn't necessary. It's better to spend 10% and find savvy ways to market ourselves in untapped markets.
Our goal is to spend 10% of our gross income in advertising. However, we aren't obligated or committed to spending every dollar in online advertising and won't necessarily allocate a certain amount to review sites or online magazines. With several pen names, it makes sense for us to try various forms of media, online and off, and try a little bit of everything so we can see for ourselves what works. We shop rates and ask for deals, particularly if we're a regular advertising customer. If I could send out one piece of advice, it's this—don't follow the crowd. Find your own unique place to advertise and whatever you do, don't pay outrageous prices for print advertisement. Ask for package rates and discounts. The market is tight right now. Those selling print ads know this and if they're smart, they'll cut some slack. If they don't, find a way to co-op. Don't just ask your publishers, approach other authors.
New authors won't always have 10% to spend on advertising. I'd love to tell them to spend it anyway. In my experience, the more you advertise, the more return you'll see if you're targeting correctly. By that I mean, it wouldn't make sense for someone to advertise a ménage romance in an inspirational magazine. As authors, I think it's important to know what market we're targeting and to spend what we can afford. However, that said, if an author wants to make an impact, he or she needs to set their sights on at least 10%. It's working for us.
Authors often ask me about advertising suggestions. Some recommendations are listed below. I've also heard a lot of questions flying around about publisher obligation. Very often if an author writes and asks for publisher recommendations, they'll ask which publisher advertises and promotes their authors fairly and most effectively.
I've given this a lot of thought and finally came up with one answer—none of them. Why? It's simple really. A publisher can't advertise an author as effectively as that author can advertise and market his or her own books. That said, there are some publishers who do advertise and they advertise a lot, but even if an author is the best selling darling of the company, that publisher will never be able to advertise that particular author as well as he or she can promote and advertise his or her own work.
Some of you may disagree but here's why I've formed my opinions. As far as I know, no one advertised my erotic romance books for me in 2010. If I'm wrong, please forgive me, but I haven't seen an ad that I didn't pay for this past year. That said, that's probably a good thing. I'm in control of my own ads and that allows me to choose who my name is affiliated with and where my books are advertised. Honestly, there are some books out there that I wouldn't want placed with my titles in an ad campaign. I could help them and they could ruin me, or vice versa. I stress the vice-versa because let's face it—my books won't appeal to everyone and not every book matched with my novels or novellas will appeal to my readers.
There's a strategy to marketing and advertising and on this end, we like to be in control of what we do and then work a plan that benefits the books we hope to sell. If you're an author, you need a marketing plan and it's probably a good idea to develop a strategy for working your plan.
There are various 'secrets' to advertising and marketing. It would take me all week to cover the high points. However, if you start with some of the suggestions below, the effort you make will pay off.
Top Five Advertising Tips:
1. Rotate your ads. Don't run the same campaigns at the same place over and over again.
2. Look for cheap offline advertisement in penny saver magazines, print magazines, and newspapers. Co-op with your fellow authors.
3. Support/sponsor an adult team. A lot of towns have recreational sports teams and they need sponsors to offset the cost of T-shirts and equipment. T-shirts are costly, at times, but depending on the team you sponsor, you may get a lot of bang for your buck. If you're a YA author, this can be very effective. Support/sponsor a T-ball team. Get your name on the back of their shirts.
4. Lead, don't follow. Go first. Don't tell everyone you know where you're advertising, just get out there and advertise. Then, after you see some success, you can share your knowledge with all your friends. Then, go somewhere else and be first again. Shake things up. Dare to be different. Use your imagination.
5. Want to know what really works? Car signs. Magnetic signs are a GREAT form of advertising. I'm talking about those large magnetic banner ads placed on a car door. These work for real estate agents, product sales, and services. This form of advertising can work for you too.
Finally, this past year, I advertised Destiny Blaine and Natalie Acres, another one of my pen names, at the following locations. Check them out when you're ready to advertise:

WOW! Destiny knows her stuff, doesn't she? So there you have it from someone who has put her money where her mouth is. If there is one piece of advice that I'd give you all right now, it's this—go slowly. Don't jump until you know what you're doing. If you decide to go with paid advertising, don't spend tons of money. If you're an author with his/her first published book—don't take several hundred dollars out of your savings account and buy ad space everywhere. I've known quite a few authors who've made that mistake. Quite a few authors who've had all kinds of promotional items made for giveaway, spending several hundred dollars to do it—and they spent that money on one book—stamping those promo items with just that one title. So a little tip, spend twenty to fifty bucks out your first time with advertising. And if you buy promo items—key chains, magnets, book marks, etc—make sure those items sell YOU, not one particular book title. Let YOUR brand, YOUR name be the focus of that promo item. Make sure YOUR website info is on that promo item and NOT just a title for a single book.
Like Destiny said, there is so much more that could go into all of this. Little things that you'll learn as you go. Too much to continue with here on the blog. But don't despair, lol, I've got a personal blog—http:tessmackall.blogspot.com—and I've decided that it would be nice to post promo and writing tips once or twice a week. I need to blog about something, don't I? LOL And I love sharing what I've learned. So, if you're not a friend of mine on Facebook, Good Reads, or MySpace, friend me and you'll be notified of when I post these tips. OR, simply go to my blog and FOLLOW ME. I'll continue to gather expert advice and dole out some of my own too.
Next week I have one more item that might be of interest to all of you. I'm interviewing several honest-to-god readers. I'll be asking them a lot of questions in general, but some specifically geared to their reactions as to how authors promote their work as well. It could make for some interesting insights. So, stop back by Three Wicked Writers Plus Two on Monday—and every day. There's always something going on here for sure! http://tessmackall.com
I'm going to leave you with the blurb for Destiny Blaine's upcoming release--Breakfast By The Sea--available November 17th from Siren Publishing. http://www.bookstrand.com/breakfast-by-the-sea

Any type of bodily injury can cause pain, temporarily limit a person's abilities, and require downtime to adequately recover. However, joint injuries are known to be particularly damaging. Joint injuries disrupt movement and motions, and can be difficult to treat. In many cases, it takes years to fully recover from a joint injury.
One of the most common types of joint injuries is a knee injury. Whether a knee injury is the result on an automobile accident, sports injury, work accident, or assault, if it was caused by the reckless or negligent actions of another person or party, that person or party should be held liable for any resulting damages.
At Flickinger Sutterfield & Boulton, our experienced joint injury lawyers have represented clients in personal injury cases involving knee injuries. We have helped our Provo, UT clients receive compensation so that they can focus on their recovery, rather than worrying about financial hardships caused by the injury.
There are many types of injuries that can impact the function of the knees. Following are the most frequent types of knee injuries that our attorneys see in personal injury cases:
These types of knee injuries have a significant impact on a person's physical abilities and quality of life. Unfortunately, torn ligaments and cartilage do not heal on their own. In many cases, orthopedic surgery is required to adequately treat a knee injury. Surgery is likely to be followed by months of physical therapy and healing.
The damage caused by a knee injury can be severe. There is obvious physical pain related to knee injuries. However, the financial strain of a knee injury can also be serious. The costs of surgery, medical treatment, physical therapy, and other expenses quickly add up. This is especially true if the injury victim is uninsured.
Many people must take time off of work while they recover from their injuries, further impacting finances. Finally, these injuries can have an emotional impact. It can be extremely disheartening to go from being a healthy, active individual to one suffering with a long-term injury.
If a knee injury was caused by the reckless or negligent actions of another person or party, a personal injury lawsuit should be filed. Our attorneys will gather the evidence needed to prove liability so that injury victim can be compensated for the full extent of losses.
If you are suffering from a knee injury that you believe was caused by another person or party, you may be eligible to file a personal injury lawsuit. Contact us at your earliest convenience to learn more about your legal right to financial compensation. The experienced lawyers at Flickinger Sutterfield & Boulton look forward to working with you.

DECC Funding Secured for Deep Green Tidal Power Plant Development
Marine energy technology company Minesto, together with IT Power and National Physical Laboratory (NPL), have been awarded more than £500,000 from the British Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) in the 2nd round of the Energy Entrepreneurs Fund.
The funding will be used for extending the quarter scale ocean trials with the Deep Green tidal current power plant in Strangford Lough, Northern Ireland, to validate its commercial performance.
The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) works to make sure the UK has secure, clean and affordable energy supplies and promotes international action to mitigate climate change. By supporting investments in the UK's energy infrastructure, DECC strives to keep energy bills down and promote action in the EU and internationally to maintain energy security and mitigate dangerous climate change.
For this, DECC established the Energy Entrepreneurs Fund from which Minesto, IT Power and NPL have now received a grant of over £500,000 for a project worth almost £900,000. The objective of the Fund is "to help bring a range of new and innovative low carbon products to market".
Minesto's CEO Anders Jansson welcomes the funding: "It is truly exciting that DECC realizes the potential for Deep Green to unlock the low velocity tidal current market in the UK; this proves that Governments have confidence in our company and our technology. In the UK alone, the Deep Green technology has a carbon reduction potential of over 30 million tons of CO2 per year. Furthermore, the grant from DECC has enabled Minesto to employ more local expertise for the ocean trials in Northern Ireland."
The objective of the project is to verify survivability, prove performance and commercial viability using an existing 1:4 scaled prototype of the innovative Deep Green tidal power plant in real ocean conditions. Data from the long term ocean trials will be scaled up to commercial scale to gain further understanding of Deep Green's full market potential.
"With this funding, it is possible to maximize the output from the previous investments in the quarter scale prototype and to bring Deep Green to a higher technology readiness level," said Anders Jansson, CEO of Minesto. "IT Power has extensive experience in working with similar marine energy projects since 1991 and NPL has long-standing experience from research within data collection and sensors. The grant from DECC makes it possible to apply their expertise to the Deep Green technology, which is very valuable to us."
IT Power's Group CEO, David Nickols, added: "We are delighted to be working with Minesto on their ground-breaking technology. It is a unique concept in the tidal energy field which can unlock previously inaccessible deep water, low flow resources, thereby enhancing the practical global contribution that tidal stream energy can have on meeting our energy needs".
As part of the project, IT Power will advise on the test methodologies, data collection and techno-economic analysis of the Deep Green technology and its deployment.
Rhys Lewis, Head of NPL's Time, Quantum and Electromagnetics Division said: "NPL has a proven track history of applying measurement expertise to a wide range of real-world applications. I am pleased we are able to provide the metrology in this tidal project in the renewable energy arena, supporting innovation and helping to implement key government strategies."
Minesto's tidal power plant called Deep Green looks like an underwater kite and is based on a fundamentally new principle for electricity generation from tidal and ocean currents. Deep Green recently became the first known marine power plant to generate electricity from low velocity tidal currents, which is seen as a breakthrough for marine energy.

Luangeni MP urges electorates to ignore critics of subsidy removal
Chipata, Jun 9/13, ZANIS….. Luangeni Member of Parliament, Charles Zulu, has called on people in his constituency to ignore critics on the removal of subsidies on fuel and maize but support the republican President, Michael Sata.
Mr Zulu stated that the removal of subsidies on fuel and maize was meant to benefit the masses in long term measures of the country's development through improvement of road infrastructure, construction of schools and rural health centres among others.
He was speaking at the official opening of Eastern Block Agriculture and Commercial Show held at Makwe Basic School ground in Chief Mpezeni's area under the theme "Business in a changing environment".
Mr Zulu, who is also Deputy Minister of Mines, Energy and Water Development, urged the people in the area not be cheated over the removal of subsidies because the people that used to benefit from the situation were the businessmen at the expense of the vulnerable, especially in the rural areas.
"On fertilizer government used to supplement farmers with KR150.00 by allowing farmers only pay KR50.00 for a 50 kg bag whose cost was KR200.00 under the Farmer Support Programme (FISP) which never benefitted them but the companies that were supplying the commodity," he added.
He said trillions of Kwacha would be saved from the removal of subsidies and go towards the development of the country's education, agricultural and health sectors.
The Luangeni MP stated that people should not despair because government was not idle but would find alternatives for cheaper sources of fuel with intent for to fetch a cheaper price.
Mr Zulu stated that in the past there were middle-men who made the purchase of the commodity to be expensive and that government would to do away with them by dealing directly with other governments that have the commodity such as Saudi Arabia.
Meanwhile, Mr Zulu has urged people in his area to jealously guard their agricultural produce, especially maize, to avoid food shortages.
Mr Zulu noted that the produce, particularly maize, should be treated and stored in improved storage facilities so that they could be food secure.
"We know that agriculture is a business but be mindful of food security at household level as you decide on the quantities to sell from your produce, and when you sell do not sell at a cheaper and give away price to unscrupulous traders," he warned.
He assured the farmers that government would continue to employ Camp Extension Officers and other staff in the areas where their services were required so that they were able to benefit from the farming business economically in the current changing environment.
Mr Zulu said it was the desire of government that the agricultural sector flourishes so that food security was attained at household level to reduce poverty at all levels of the community.

Supply chain management is fraught with challenges; globalization, fast-changing markets as well as quality and compliance.
Globalization presents itself with several challenges. In a bid to reduce costs, businesses are moving their manufacturing operations to countries which offer lower labour costs and reduced taxes. Outsourcing operations not only extends the production process but the procurement network, which has substantial complications for the supply chain. As businesses expand into global markets there's a risk of losing control, visibility, and management over inventory, especially if applications are not integrated.
Consumer behaviour has changed dramatically over the years. Due to changing habits, products now have a much shorter shelf life, and the need for new products is far greater than it has ever been. Pair this with the prevalence of social media and consumer expectations of product quality is sky-high. Constant innovation presents a challenge in itself, whilst trying to forecast, minimise costs, adhere to quality as well as local and international compliance.
At the core of all these supply chain challenges is the need for better data management and integration. Explore how Edenhouse can get you up and running faster with the latest SAP technology and support the future growth of your business to create an Intelligent Enterprise.
Digital transformation is something all organisations should leverage sooner rather than later. The business benefits of doing so could mean the difference between your organisation thriving, and only just keeping up. We discuss what is to be gained operationally in becoming a truly intelligent enterprise.
How the supply chain can leverage emerging tech
Edenhouse shares insight with Supply Chain Digital on how the supply chain can leverage emerging technologies. Realising business potential and gaining visibility is only possible if businesses understand the benefits innovative technologies can offer.
Product Traceability: The Differentiator
Product traceability is not just a matter of public health and food safety, it should be embraced positively and proactively as a risk management tool. By providing visibility into the supply chain, it helps companies plan and prepare for an emergency situation and respond swiftly if something goes wrong.
Reducing food waste
A sizeable proportion of losses is incurred by retailers, whether through inappropriate quality control, overstocking or inaccurate forecasting.

Read a few snowy books and sing some snow songs with the staff of Herrick District Library at a fun and "snowy" event Dec. 2.
The program for children 18 months to 5 years old (with a caregiver) will have a variety of activities inspired by the Ezra Jack Keats classic "A Snowy Day," culminating in a reading of the favorite winter story.
Make paper snowmen and paint pictures with "snow" paint (made of flour, salt, and water). The library will also have an allergen-free activity for those with gluten sensitivities.
"The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats is one of those perfect picture books," library staffer Erin Davison said. "Peter is a young child living in an urban environment who goes outside on a snowy day and experiences the snow in ways many young children do. The illustrations are simple. The text is simple. But the reader experiences the wonder and excitement a young child does when they have the opportunity to play in the snow."
As Peter makes tracks with his feet, watches the 'big' boys having a snowball fight, builds a snowman and makes snow angels, children can see themselves in him and dream of their own snowy days.
Children and their caregivers should meet at 11 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 2, in the upstairs Children's Department at Herrick District Library, 300 S. River Ave. for this special event.
Later that day at 2 p.m., join Herrick for Now Showing at Your Library and a showing of "Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens" with free popcorn (while supplies last).
For details, visit Herrickdl.org or contact Herrick District Library at 616-355-3100.

Oh dear. Dunfermline had out one of its stronger sides in the past couple of seasons and after the opening few moves it looked promising on all boards for the home side. Alas first Ben's sac of piece for several pawns backfired then with John's position starting to look dubious and Stuart's looking a bit messy and Michael showing no immediate progress, Ian felt obliged to turn down 2 draw offers only in time to allow Jim a mate in one! John then fell thereby ending the match but not the entertainment.
Stuart by now had a queen for a couple of pieces but calmly left his queen hanging for nothing. However Graham had no time left and lost when his flag fell taking the queen. That left Michael to nurse home his extra pawn in a bishop v knight ending. Sadly he allowed knight takes bishop exchange at the wrong moment and found himself in a lost pawn ending. Some matches go for you and some against. Just not Dunfermline's evening.
- I Robertson 0-1 J Shemilt
- J McBride 0-1 N Irving
- M Roy 0-1 S Smith
- S Black 1-0 G Anderson
- B Volland 0-1 Bill Cook

A 20th Reunion night was held in the Top of the Town on Saturday December 16th 2017 by the players of the famous 1997 Junior team.
Memories of the famous three matches were reinvigorated as the footage of the games was shown on big screens in the Top courtesy of Jer Keane.
A good crowd was in attendance and there was plenty of opportunity for all to reminisce about their time in the maroon and white.
It is a testament to the players of the last 20 years that they since won two Intermediate Championships and have avoided the drop back to Junior level ever since.
The team was managed by John Redmond and Captained by Henry "Role" Scanlon.
Johnny Cotter was the hero in the final match scoring two goals, one of which was in the dying minutes to swing the match in Athens favour before the final whistle was sounded.

Which is more important? Living large or living long? Your answer may depend on which end of the lifespan continuum you are currently standing on.
The younger generations like to live large with no concern about living long. They drive fast, eat junk food, and treat their body like it comes from a disposable machine -- when one is used up, a fresh one pops in it's place.
The older generations just want to hang on and live long. They drive slow, eat only that which has no taste, and constantly take their bodies to the body shop for repairs.
As I get closer to 40...I mean, 50...I find that living long is taking on a new appeal. Don't get me wrong, I still like to live large, but with caution. I buckle my seatbelt a little tighter, wear my pants a little higher, and keep bran cereal on standby. I still live life on the edge as long as the edge isn't any higher than a street curb.
Folks older than me take on a new attitude somewhere after 50. They seem to think that living long IS living large. They see themselves as being on TOP of the hill, not over it. They brag about their age and take pride in being the last one standing.
Job asked some good questions, "Is not wisdom found among the aged? Does not long life bring understanding?" (Job 12:12, NIV).
If age brings wisdom and long life brings understanding, then shouldn't the younger among us value and respect the thoughts and advice of the older?
Murphy's law seems to sprinkle a little dust on this topic. The wisdom we need to make the most important decisions of our lives won't enter our brains for at least another ten years when we're young.
Ah, but there's hope no matter how old or young you are. The Bible is the greatest source of wisdom anywhere in the world because it's Author has been around longer than anyone or anything. Seek His wisdom in His Word. He will see to it that you get the answers you need (even if it isn't the answers you want).
You'd be surprised how blessed you will be if you also seek wisdom from someone ahead of you in the calendar of life. Seek the counsel of older believers. Increase your wisdom by plugging into theirs. After all, they've survived and thrived without a lot of the stuff you and I can't seem to live without. Maybe we should find out how.
Wisdom and understanding can also be found in another resource...a four-letter word despised by most of us, especially the younger amongst us: WAIT. Sometimes, the greatest solution to a problem is to wait it out. Time can be a great teacher and a handy problem-solver.
You don't need an owl to tell you how many licks there are in the lollipop of life. Just ask the Ancient of Days and a brother or sister in Christ who has walked the trail ahead of you with joy...and learn to wait for the answers and solutions you seek.
Gotta go...it's time for my Metamucil,
Perry Crisp

Groote Eylandt residents were killing each other 15 years ago in acts of drunken violence, but since local women demanded an alcohol permit system there has been a drastic turnaround, community leaders say.
The federal standing committee on indigenous affairs is travelling around Australia to investigate alcohol abuse in Aboriginal communities and to find ways to combat it.
On Wednesday in Groot Eylandt the committee heard that in the early 2000s a group of strong elder women threatened to leave the island if the men continued to drink, ultimately winning the fight to move the community to a permit system.
On the island, off the east coast of the Northern Territory, the communities of Umbakumba, Angurugu and Anindilyakwa have been dry for about a decade.
Permit holders can drink in licensed venues, which have stopped selling takeaway alcohol entirely.
The corresponding rates of violence dropped by 70 to 80 per cent, said Keith Hansen, CEO of Aminjarrinja Enterprises Aboriginal Corporation.
He said the system was successful because it was initiated by the community: "If you get the indigenous people owning it, it will work, and it is working."
The island began selling low aromatic Opal fuel at the same time and fuel sniffing has also stopped, Mr Hansen said.
"It's the best thing I've seen in this community. ... It was a massive change to this island. People started to come out, people started to work, the community started to get better and better, family life changed."
He acknowledged Groot Eylandt as an island had more control over supply than mainland communities.
There have been very few instances of indigenous residents abusing the system, he said.
"It's mainly whitefellas... selling grog to indigenous people."
Indigenous permit holders understand the rules, "whereas whitefella's looking for the quick quid."
Mr Hansen said contractors flying in and out of the island on charter flights several times a week from Darwin and Cairns were not being searched by police sniffer dogs, and have been bringing in alcohol and drugs to make more money selling them at a higher price to captive customers.
He said he asked authorities why the homes and bags of white workers were not being searched and he was told to mind his own business.
The hearings will continue in Ceduna in SA next month.

I took a smattering of pictures at every site we visited this day.
Because we liked Udaipur and decided to remain here several days, we knew we could explore at a lackadaisical pace and still see everything we wanted. We started the day on yet another rooftop terrace eating an okay breakfast at Mewar Haveli. After breakfast, we wandered into Art'o'craft, a good painting/art shop with pieces in a variety of creative styles.
We then took a rickshaw to the Vintage Car Museum. The maharaja has a fondness for classic cars and opened his collection to the public. The curator of the collection opened each garage in turn for us and accompanied us as we explored, telling stories about the cars along the way. Apparently, on a trip to England, an old maharaja was insulted by a salesman who looked at him and thought he couldn't afford a Rolls Royce. The maharaja bought the store's inventory and used all the cars as garbage trucks. Rolls Royce, thinking this use of their vehicles would tarnish the brand, offered to buy them back. The maharaja refused.
The curator also told us a story about the front axle of a Rolls Royce getting broken. It was brought to Rolls Royce for repair and maintenance. Rolls Royce returned the car, fixed, without a bill, instead saying, "our axles don't break."
The curator also told us some interesting facts:
- The Rolls Royce logo changed from red to black when Charles Rolls died.
- Old steering wheels/steering columns previously impaled drivers. This was one of the first impetuses for seat belts.
- Some old cars were built with wooden frames!
After lunch and a brief a detour through Sajjan Niwas Gardens / Gulab Park, we walked to the south entrance of City Palace. We wanted to visit Jag Mandir, an old island-palace (not to be confused with the luxurious, relatively recent construction of the gleaming white Lake Palace).
Visiting Jag Mandir made us angry. First, the price listed at the booth was twice the price printed in the pamphlet (250 rupees), which was supposed to be valid throughout the whole month. Nevertheless, we paid and rode to the island. But, the only accessible part of the island was a large and overpriced restaurant and an absurdly, almost mockingly small museum. The rest of the island, which held some ruins, was under repair/restoration and off-limits. Although the ride across the lake was nice (see the pictures), we felt seriously ripped off. Had we known what it was like, we might not have even bothered going if it was free. When back on the mainland, we complained and were directed to the corporate office.
The corporate office was no good at customer service. They kept trying to explain to us how we were wrong. They told us repeatedly that many people go to the island for (a four thousand rupee) dinner; none of those customers had ever complained about the price of the ride to the island or the lack of things to do there. We didn't think this was relevant. They insisted the trip to the island is worth as much as they charged, and we were wrong in thinking it wasn't worth that much. And, as for the inaccessibility of many places on the island, we should've known. Who cares if we were mislead by their own literature? Furthermore, they have a corporate policy of no refunds.
After venting, we returned to our hotel to pick up the sweets we bought in Jaipur. We ran into the hotel owner and mentioned our negative experience (unexpectedly high price, nothing to see) to him. He commiserated, and explained that in Udaipur and India in general prices have been going up: real estate, stock market, etc. He also took this time to show us some of his paintings. They're very exact. He paints them by copying pictures. In addition to painting, he binds books.
We brought our snacks to a cafe and ate. The tout from yesterday came by and we talked with him for a while. Then we talked to an interesting, entertaining Swiss guy, Raf, who's on his twenty-somethingth trip to India, and his friend Dushan. We'd actually run into them at this cafe multiple times while in Udaipur.
Raf gave lots to advice and told many stories:
- He told us a story about a massive Indian holiday/festival (Kumbh Mela) that he, and 11 million Indians (!), attended. It apparently was visible from space. He bathed in the Ganges, supposedly washing his sins away. Now, he claimed, he could go back to being a "fresh bastard."
- He said if people do their secret things with you, you'll become friends. That's why he said you've got to drink with Muslims and eat meat with Hindus.
- He said that if Indians were trying to be too friendly, simply tell them friendlily to f--- off. It'll be okay.
- He told us stories about traveling in Hungary and meeting gypsies and pickpockets.
- He told many offensive jokes about India, including one about Gandhi and apples, another about Muhammads (yes, plural), and a third about Pakistan ("fill it with water").
- He espoused the virtues of saffron alcohol ("kesan" ?).
We ate a good overall, solid dinner at The Whistling Teal, located in a hotel, Jhadol Haveli. When deciding what to order, someone said (I forget who), "we should try to avoid the familiar culprits." I was amused by this (unintentionally) different way of saying usual suspects.
We chatted with our waiter. It started with talking about the types of flour used in halvas and rice puddings, then spread to the variety of styles/customs in India, and then to how movies affect the way holidays/festivals are observed. We also talked about the difference in food between urban and rural areas. For instance, halva is urban; it's only eaten in rural areas on special occasions. Finally, we got tips from the waiter on what's worth seeing in and near Udaipur.
On the way to our hotel, we saw a party in the streets. Many people, density packed, hit sticks together in time to music. Apparently it was part of a festival called navratri.

Cut back week is a beautiful thing
After several weeks of intense training, it's important to have a bit of a break, lighten the training load, and rest a bit. That is happening now. And it's glorious. Aside from being so insanely tired I can't even describe it recently, my muscles were feeling like they needed a bit of a break too.
This week consists of only two runs during the week (one is really short) without any speed work and a pretty short long run on Saturday. At the beginning of last week I was a little disappointed about cutback week. I mean, I was getting into a groove, training was going well, I was feeling good, but by the end of the week I was very excited.
This week, I have started going to bed 30-40 minutes earlier and am waking up 20 minutes later. I feel so much better. It's meant my evenings are pretty short. By the time I get home it's just about bedtime but the benefits of getting more sleep far outweigh that extra half hour I could have been doing something.
So, hooray for less running and more sleeping this week!

Retailers around the world are transforming their operations in light of new and emerging challenges such as the rise of e-commerce and mobile shopping and an overall decline in foot traffic at brick-and-mortar stores. Capitalizing on their strength of having a physical presence in which to woo shoppers has become a central focus of many store models, and the result is interesting and memorable experiences.
Such experiences are devised to make an impression on shoppers that e-commerce platforms simply cannot, from pop-up shops carrying new or limited-time products, to high-tech displays that incorporate virtual or augmented reality, to in-store experiences like concerts, art exhibitions or cafes. Brick and mortar retailers are fighting back with the resources at their disposal, turning what was once a disadvantage versus e-commerce into a unique strength.
High Tech Beauty Shopping
Beauty brands in particular have been quick to embrace the latest and greatest retail technologies, such as smart makeup mirrors that let customers virtually try on cosmetics before buying. Sephora scans shoppers faces to get their "Color IQ," to find which color palettes best complement their skin tone. The company's Virtual Assist mobile app lets customers digitally try things like lipstick, eyeshadow or even eyelash extensions using augmented reality.
Some experiences are made to drop customers' jaws and create something unforgettable. Burberry's Beijing location uses 4-D video to create holographic projections of real models, who transform into liquid or clouds, or multiply into large numbers of doppelgangers.
Apple's new Milan Apple Store will feature an outdoor theater for hosting events like concerts, giving customers more of a reason to visit their store than just the latest products.

Personalization and Embrace of Social Media
Ulta Beauty has seen tremendous sales growth (63%, according to MyTotalRetail) and plans to open 100 new locations. One of the key differentiators has been the company's laser-focus on personalization and collecting information about customer preferences for targeted marketing later, such as when a new product comes out that the store's analytics system thinks a customer might be interested in.
West Elm is a retailer smartly leveraging social media, recently introducing its Pinterest Style Finder to let shoppers find style inspirations on the platform and guiding them towards a purchase from their physical stores or its own e-commerce site. This blend of personalization and online and offline commerce has proven successful for the company.
Retailers have had to get creative in light of the strength of their e-commerce competition. The days of customers breezing through the front door in great numbers on the strength of brand cachet alone are largely over, and to keep relevant, brick-and-mortar retailers have had to innovate to grow. Experiential retail is likely here to stay, at least until the next wave forces a new pivot.

Every evening, thousands of local foodies head up to their respective rooftops and issue a plaintive wail that resounds and echoes forth into the dark and balmy Miami sky: God is great, but the same can't be said for our Chinese restaurants! Actually, most of these people are obnoxious New Yorkers. And it's not exactly thousands of them. Well, all right, it's just me, and I only did it a couple of times -- but that doesn't take away from the validity of the sentiment.
Granted, things have improved with upscale newcomers Hakkasan, Philippe, and Mr. Chow -- at least for those willing to pay for an egg roll what a working class person might consider shelling out for a new pair of Wranglers. But when it comes to the sort of affordable, family-style Cantonese restaurant that every neighborhood should have, precious few do. As such, most locals know that the go-to place for all things gastronomically Chinese requires a drive to 163rd Street in North Miami Beach -- and many concur that Sang's Chinese Food is the best on that strip.

Introduction: How to Fix a PAL Gamecubes Brightness Problems
First time that I'm doing an instructable so bare with me!
So I've been having problems with my PAL Gamecube being too bright. I've used my Google-Fu to find a fix for it but I've only come across things related to other Nintendo consoles (N64 and SNES).
From all the pieces I've gathered around the internet I've found a solution to this problem.
It happens when you use an NTSC version of the Gamecube A/V Composite cable on a PAL console.
I've done the following and it worked pretty good.
You will need the following things for this mod:
1) an A/V composite cable (Which you can buy from ebay for like 3$)
2) a soldering iron
3) a 75ohm resistor
4) a hammer
5) a bit of soldering tin
Basically you solder the resistor from PIN #3 to PIN #7 and #8. The resistor lowers the brightness of the picture making it normal as it should be!
Take the hammer and gently brake apart the plastic around the cables input side (the side you connect to the Gamecube).
I haven't done this on an official cable because it would be a shame to wreak one, just buy any one of those cables they sell on ebay for a few dollars.
Solder the resistor to the #3 PIN (the yellow cable) and the other side to the #7 and #8 PINS.
And that's it!
This site helped me alot!

thanks for the guide! i used a 38ohm resistor as suggested in the comments and it looks perfect.
That was an easy fix. Thank you for posting it. I used a 38 ohm resistor instead of 75 ohm, and the picture is perfect.
Tip: If you cut of half of the legs of the resistor, you can easily put it all back in the casing of the cable.
But if the problem is that the av cable is NTSC wouldnt it just work to replace it with a PAL cable?
The correct resistor is 38ohm as that is what Nintendo use; 75ohm is too dark. If you have another 75ohm resistor, put them in parallel, which halves the resistance to give about 37ohms. Try it and you'll see it's the right resistance.
Will give it a try when I get my Gamecube back. Thanks for the tip! :)
It really works! I've done this right now! Brightness and contrast 100%.
I'm glad it helped you!
Changed the pin scheme so it's actually visible.
And I forgot to say thank you.

2021 Toyota Tundra Engine, Redesign, Specs, Concept – Toyota is a description of the sturdy and powerful trucks. Now, with the approaching roll-out of any 2021 Toyota Tundra, any company is again on the high path. The new model is benefiting from external walls changes, and the new grille will promote the much more metropolitan take a look. The interior is more full than well before, with a great deal of cargo space or room and a great deal of bedroom in the returning.
2021 Toyota Tundra Redesign
Exterior and Interior Design
Any Tundra is included with the two types of engine, potent more than enough to execute every project. We feel that you will use Tundra to tow goods, and the new nature shines on this site as correctly. Thanks to the strong drivetrain, the towing volume is improved, which truck can stand just as with the level of competition.
The exterior of the forthcoming 2021 Toyota Tundra will keep the general appearance and type of the previous variant. But, some changes have already been crafted. The Japanese company is one synonym for the hard-browsing truck, with the models this type of as Land Cruiser and Hilux. That new Tundra is sure to adhere to the same pathway. The stainless grille is extra dominant, supplying the front fascia more urban and competitive search. Additionally, the lateral fresh air-absorption scoops on its lid as very well as its bumper. This will likely put a supplementary hint of sporty and combative stance to the car. The fog lumination is getting a facelift also. With the unique model, they are more integrated into the edges of the bumper. The fender is more full and set up more affordable a little, helping improve the all-around muscle take a look of the new Tundra. The wheels are 18-in . and the 110-voltage potential wall plug is included as effectively.
The interior for the first time 2021 Toyota Tundra will receive the equivalent remodeled seem, much like the hottest Tacoma's redesign. This Tundra vacation cabin is capped with punctured sewn household leather, an individual of the best and a lot of social resources. The deals with are super easy to contact, and the situation of the keys is pretty good. The gist of the Tundra bulk overall look owns a bunch of living space. The interior is seriously tremendous, specifically in the rear in which the three people can fit simply. On the other hand, the 4-wheel-get truck is usually high, and therefore can make access and get out of pretty clumsy. Luckily, the significant wide-cracking open doors assistance a lot, and the elective operating boards are worthy of increasing your package. The infotainment method consists of Google Android Auto and Apple company CarPlay assist. The dashboard is a little higher, with the large touchscreen in the center and electronic digital bunch at the rear of the tire.
2021 Toyota Tundra Engine
The only available engines about the 2021 Toyota Tundra happen to be two V8 products. The 4.6-liter engine produces 320 Hewlett Packard and 327 lb-feet of torque. A secondary powertrain is a 5.7-liter model that increases 385 Hewlett Packard and 401 lb-feet of torque. Even so, even though the company provides significant 5.7-liter, the rivalry these days prepare their vehicle with new turbo 6- and 4-cylinder engines. These small sized powertrains bring in tremendously higher energize the economy and still have sufficient chance to get the task finished. The Toyota will upgrade the gas product just for this V8 engine and add the twin Atkinson's cycles as correctly. Moreover, the standard 6-speed gearbox is substituted with the current 8-pace automated transmission. There are selected gossip about producing a 10-pace trans, but while not the authorized confirmation for the time being. The development of performances will raise the towing volume as correctly. The new model is established to tow more than the current's 10,500 kilos.
2021 Toyota Tundra Price and Release Date
The impending Toyota Tundra 2021 will have all five-toned amounts: SR, SR5, Limited, Platinium, 1794 Edition and TRD Pro. The base SR will begin near $32,000. The SR5 obtains you an enhanced tech program, variable occasional windshield wipers and adds $2300 much more on the price. Additionally, the Limited features a price tag of $41,000 and includes 20-" rims, detachable tie-lower cleats, and natural leather upholstery.

Data lifecycle in Yoda
The Data Lifecycle is reflected in the following use case in Yoda
Yoda in 10 steps
- Rosa starts research "Ebola Virus Test", evt, and collects data.
- Rosa asks access to Yoda.
- Data Manager creates group "evt" with group manager Rosa.
- Rosa adds her fellow researchers to her group.
- Rosa and her fellow researchers and can upload their data to Yoda
- Rosa c.s. can work together on the data in the research area.
- Rosa prepares datapackages of the data she wants to be stored permanently in the Vault and submits them.
- The Data Manager checks the packages before storing in the Vault.
- The evt data from the Vault can be published via the Catalogue.
- Copy from Vault to Research area.
In the next part the 10 steps are described in more detail.
In this example Yoda is used without the Intake module. The workflow using The Intake module is discussed in Yoda Portal Intake.
Rosa starts research "Ebola Virus Test", evt, and collects data.
The "Ebola Virus Test" research will produce different files: Microscope images, text files and lab results.
Rosa asks access to Yoda.
For a new Yoda project, there are two possibilities:
- The project is run by a faculty or group that don't use Yoda.
- The project is run by a faculty or group where Yoda is already in use.
In the first case the researcher will find information via the UU RDM platform or contact Yoda's functional application manager
If Yoda is already known in the faculty and the research would fit in an already running project, access can be requested by mailing the category's Data Manager.
The Data Manager will grant access, create a new group and will give you Group Manager rights.
Data Manager creates group "evt" with group manager Rosa.
Data Manager creates group "evt" with group manager Rosa.
A group is a number of researchers working on the same project.
The Data Manager will create a group for the "Ebola Virus Test" research. The name of the group will be "evt".
Rosa is assigned group manager of the evt group.
Three folders are automatically created
- research-evt
- vault-evt
- (intake-evt)
You will see them in the Yoda portal but you will also find three folders in the Yoda tree in for instance Explorer.
Rosa adds her fellow researchers to her group.
Rosa will add her fellow researchers to the group. Each member should have the proper access.
Rosa and her fellow researchers and can upload their data to Yoda (research-evt).
All group members (except those with Read Only rights) can upload files with data to the evt project in Yoda by drag and drop in Explorer from their laptop to the research-evt folder.
Dragging to the Vault is impossible.
More about the Research area in Research Module.
Rosa and colleagues can work on the data in the research-evt.
All group members can work together on the data in the research area. After saving a file a new revision is created.
More about revisions can be read in Revisions.
Rosa prepares datapackages of the data she wants to be stored permanently and submits them.
Rosa decides which folders from her research should be permanently stored in the Vault. The Vault will only accept datapackages; data accompanied by metadata.
The researchers will open the folders to add applicable metadata in Yoda.
You are advised to read MetaData elaborated to learn about copying metadata files and thus saving time.
Only after all the mandatory metadata fields are filled the package can be submitted to the Vault. Some metadata fields are not applicable to all files and thus these fields are optional.
Yoda validates the yoda-metadata, when submitting the datapackage to the vault. By submitting the datapackage the data in the research area will automatically be locked.
More about datapackages in Datapackage.
The Data Manager checks the packages before storing in the Vault.
After a datapackage is submitted the Data Manager will check whether the mandatory metadata fields are filled with relevant text
(in contradiction to something like "later") in every field. Only after consent the Data Manager accepts the DataPackage for permanent storage in the Vault.
More about the checks can be found in Checks by the Data Manager.
After accepting the datapackage the data in the research area will still be locked.
Working with the data in the research area will only be possible after un-locking after the datapackage is Secured (actually copied to/stored) in the Vault.
More about Lock and Unlock can be found in Lock.
The evt data can be published via the Catalogue.
By publishing you can make the metadata of your datapackage stored in the Vault findable in the Catalogue. You can publish your datapackage from within the Yoda portal.
You will receive a Persistent Identifier, DOI (Digital Object Identifier) automatically, thus your data can be:
- Referred to in articles or other datasets;
- found in the Yoda Catalogue via its metadata;
- Depending on the conditions under which you've published it, accessed.
Copy from Vault to Research area.
When a folder from the Research area is Secured in the Vault the folder in Research is locked. It can be used after unlocking.
From the same folder, a new datapackage can be created and submitted.
Yoda will store this new datapackage in the Vault without overwriting the original datapackage.
The Vault functions as an archive for all versions. In case you want to use an older version this can be copied from the Vault to the Research area.
Note that Rosa needs access to the vault datapackage and to the corresponding research group (e.g. research-evt) in order to be able to copy from Vault to Research.

Tim feels very blessed to have found the Pacific Northwest and the abundance and beauty it holds. From the soaring peaks of the North Cascade Mountains to the rich vineyards and orchards of the Columbia Basin and Lake Chelan to the numerous cattle and equestrian ranches located throughout the area, Washington State truly is God's Country.
As a young man Tim grew up in a small village in the east surrounded by farms and ranches growing cash crops and raising beef and dairy cattle. Growing up working on farms he learned not only the value of hard work but working smart as well. Being good stewards of the land and reinvesting in quality renewable resources was ingrained at a very early age.
After serving in the Navy, he graduated college with a degree in Business majoring in Accounting & Marketing. He went on to become a successful accountant and later vice president marketing & business development with one of the nation's largest investment fund companies. Although he was very successful in business his true passion was farming, ranching and recreational lands.
He left Corporate America and purchased an abandoned property on a lake in Northern Canada and together with his family built a very successful fishing lodge and guest ranch operation. Working in the "people industry" taught Tim the value of relationships and how to nurture and respect that. His lodge and ranch operation went on to serve 400 clients annually from around the world with a large percentage of that being repeat business.
Tim developed a very serious "Quest for the West" at a young age and always wanted to be part of the Rocky Mountain's since first visiting them at the age of 12. He followed through with his dream and purchased a 170,000 acre Guide Outfitting Territory in British Columbia up near the Yukon border. He purchased the rig from an old outfitter who spoke of being a true steward of the land and how every man should have his own valley in the wilderness to nurture and care for. Tim followed the old outfitters ways and ran a very successful guiding business packing horses deep into the Rocky Mountains in search of elusive big game and remote mountain glacier lakes filled with trout.
After retiring from the outfitter business, Tim moved into Real Estate and started a very successful real estate practice in Arizona and later Washington State specializing in Ranch, Farm, Vineyards/Orchards and Recreational Properties. Being a proud member of the Land and Wildlife Team and its exclusive partnership with Land Leader was a natural fit for him. You will find Tim a welcome addition to your team as he will share in your dreams and plans for success. You will find his passion contagious and will appreciate his business savvy when it comes to growing your business or finding your dream property. He currently calls the beautiful Methow Valley home where he resides in his log home along the river fly fishing and raising horses. He and his wife are Life Members of the Dallas Safari Club and Safari Club International as well as various other industry associations in Washington State.

'The words cat and cute are not only similar to hear but are quite similar literally as well,' said a former TV presenter. Like dogs, cats also have a special place in the drama called life. Cats, like happiness, come in different shapes, sizes, and colors. One such colorful breed is the Tonkinese cat.
|Tonkinese Where the little fur rainbow across the forehead came from is unknown (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Like the Canadian hairless cat, the Tonkinese cats have originated from the lands of Canada. This is a medium sized cat breed, a cross between 2 beautiful cat breeds - the Siamese cat breed and the Burmese cat breed.
History of Tonkinese Cats
'History is a half right- half wrong fable agreed upon.' Same way, there are some instances which connect this recent breed to historical era of the 19th century. Some people believe that these cats often trace their roots back to the 'Wong Mau' miracle cat (a small sized walnut colored cat, courtesy - Dr. Joseph Cheesman Thompson, 1930). Most other journals and experts put the start of breeding as late 19th century, which is widely accepted. All in all, the exact history is debated but these cats aren't as old as some other species.
Name Game
This pet breed was earlier called as - Tonkinese which got later modified to Tonkinese. Origin of its name is the namesake island in the musical South Pacific. This fictitious island was special because there was no discrimination done to half-breeds and hybrids. These are commonly known as Tonks while promoting, and also during cat shows.
These beautiful Tonkinese animals breeds often find mentions in English novels, movies, documentaries and magazines. Known for their friendly nature, these pets are often classified as the perfect apartment cats. In general, these animals are lively with gregarious personalities and form one of the bubbliest pets. With an appealing individuality, the Tonkinese pets breed is often considered to have taken good qualities of both, Siamese and Burmese cat breeds. Even its meow is slightly different than other breeds, and its voice is often an epitome of affection. The Tonkinese pet carves and returns affection very openly.
The trim and the muscular cat appears lighter than what they actually are. They have the following physical features:
- Distinctive oval-shaped paw
- An adapted wedge shaped head
- Large ears which are almost set to the outside of their heads
- Muscular appearance
There are 3 main patterns in Tonkinese cats, solid, pointed and mink. They come in 4 attractive colors and their color pattern darkens with age. The solid pattern is the most common type of Tonkinese pet pattern around.
One of the major reasons why these cats appear affectionate is their curiosity; these Tonkinese puppies are unusually curious, even to the simplest of things like a human finger. These folks are playful and mischievous and like humans or other Asian cat species around.
These cats from great pets and many owners claim, there is a sense of pleasure when these are around. Cats, in general, emit happiness and Tonkinese ones are no different.

What you do in the morning is what sets the tone for your day. Therefore, by creating a healthy morning routine, you will start your day in the most positive, motivated, and energized manner. You will be more productive at work, and improvements will start to show in other areas of your life as well such as a stronger workout routine and being more organized. How do you create a healthy morning routine? Read on to find out.
For people who tend to skip breakfast, it's crucial you realize that this is the most important meal of the day. Your body was fasting for several hours while you were asleep, and you now need food for energy. However, when eating breakfast, ensure that it's healthy.
High sugar foods and simple carbs may not sustain you and can make you feel tired the rest of the day. Eat a balanced breakfast with whole grain cereals, proteins, and vitamins. Also, don't forget to drink water. You're dehydrated, and your body needs water to awaken the muscles and joints. Water calms the mind as well. Please read this post to learn more.
Activities to stimulate the mind are super important. Some of the activities are meditating, visualizing, and journaling. The first step is meditating. Find a comfortable place where you can sit without distractions. Through meditating, you'll develop increased awareness, enhanced patience, and stronger intentions.
After meditating spend some time visualizing your intentions. During this time, feel as though you've accomplished all your goals. Third, create a journey.
This is crucial, especially if you live a busy life. Write down the things you want to accomplish by the end of the day, your long-term goals, aspiring ideas, relationship issues, etc. Keeping a journal helps you to get a better perspective of things and is therapeutic as well.
Don't forget to get your mind in a state of gratitude. Being grateful for waking up and the good things you have will attract positivity and you'll reduce your stress levels.
Now that you've fueled both your mind and body, it's time to involve yourself in physical activity. Remember that you've spent the last few hours with physical inactivity. Therefore, do something that will awaken your body. For instance, a couple of stretches can do. If you're into yoga, it's an excellent activity to keep you going.
These are some of the steps you need to create a healthy morning routine. Even though at first it may be hard to incorporate these steps in your morning, wake up earlier and strive to turn them into habits.

Act against terror, Manmohan to tell ZardariJune 15th, 2009 - 10:08 pm ICT by IANS
By Manish Chand
Yekaterinberg (Russia), June 15 (IANS) India will convey a clear message to Pakistan to take credible action against terrorism when Prime Minister Manmohan Singh meets Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari here Tuesday for the first time after the Mumbai attacks.
The meeting is more of an ice breaker and it will not lead to an immediate resumption of the dialogue between the two countries, stalled since the Mumbai attacks nearly seven months ago.
India will convey its expectations to Pakistan to take credible action against terrorism, reliable sources said Monday ahead of the meeting.
New Delhi, however, was at pains to stress that the meeting that has taken place due to pure chance, the two principals being at the same place at the same time, should not be construed as a sign of weakness or softening of India's position against terrorism emanating from Pakistan.
The half-an-hour meeting will take place at Hotel Hyatt on the sidelines of the Shanghai Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit Tuesday afternoon.
Manmohan Singh is here to attend the first BRIC summit of Brazil, Russia, India and China and the six-nation SCO summit.
