'Camp & Caravan' by Map Studio Review
'Nothing is more rewarding than taking the family on a camping trip, spending quality time together and enjoying the wonders of Mother Nature'. Map Studios new camping and caravan guide assists travellers in choosing their destination in South Africa. There is a plethora of handy keys and icons to help you find the campsite that suits your budget and requirements. From 1 star to 4 star and R50 to R400, this guide is sure to help you find the right place to stay. You can check out the type of resort too with listings of coastal, mountain, 4x4, Spa, National Park or Nature reserve, river, lake or dam, country or desert. The key is a little baffling at the beginning, but once you get used to it then it serves the purpose in providing you with all the information you could possibly need.
The guide is split by region and within each region there's a zoomed in map by area. This is especially useful to work out exactly where the campsite is. There's GPS coordinates listed, so if you've got your Tom Tom then just key in the number and listen to the directions.
There are some campsite photos in the guide, but only for the lucky few campsites so these are more for decoration then to use as a real comparison.
Attractions & activities in each area are listed which provides an added bonus to give you some ideas of what to do with the family, friends or partner.
We like this guide and are planning on using it in our campervans to see what our customers think. If I had to come up with a negative then published in 2012, we just hope they bring out an updated version every couple of years to avoid the information getting out of date. Otherwise, a big thumbs up and well done to Map Studio for a comprehensive and useful camping guide for South Africa.

I recently took a 240 gyuto out for one of my late night sharpening and cutting sessions. (I don't have my camera available to me but will post photos soon.)
Tsil from TC Blades asked my opinion. Below was my response. Followed by his.
Hi TC,
Very interesting knife. The first thing that drew me to the knife was the appearance. That is one sexy looking knife. I love the rustic hammer finish and the matte black back. However I have a question, I noticed the grind marks in the transition between the mirrored bevel and the hammered finish. Were they left intentionally to enhance the rustic look? Just curious.
At first I gave it my usual sharpening progression. I was amazed how large a burr I raised on my two lower grit stones. I had no trouble removing the burr and the knife seemed to sharpen nicely.
I did my usual tests, push cut paper, tomato slice, onion dice and potato slice. The knife felt very sharp to the finger but I had difficulty push cutting paper. Despite this it worked very efficiently on the vegetables. You mentioned you leave a little extra material on the blade so the user can "train" the knife. With this in mind I went back to the stones and tried to thin out the edge a bit more and then re-tested the knife. It still wouldn't push cut paper but worked even better on the vegetables. I was a little confused because it worked so well "cutting" but couldn't cut the paper. I believe edge thickness may be why.
I understand some of the forum members weren't crazy about your knives. I think the reason is because they have tunnel vision. They are obsessed with "thin" and believe every knife should be a "lazer". This knife may have a thicker edge initially but over time this knife will keep improving. It is a very good knife for general kitchen production. Especially in a pro kitchen. It's thick and heavy which makes it ideal for an adverse environment. The blade is thin enough to prep darn near anything yet thick enough to prep many things I wouldn't normally use a gyuto for. If I were breaking down chickens, this would be the first knife I would reach for. It's stout enough to handle squash, root vegetables etc. It's an excellent "all around" knife. It may not be a great tuna slicer but anything else would be no problem. Including bone-in meats.
One thing I was particularly impressed with was how it handled potatoes. It sliced them thinly and consistently without the potato slices sticking to the blade. Food doesn't seem to want to stick to the KU finish. That also increases efficiency. (I've posted a video on my youtube channel, saltydog55252)
I'd say most chefs would be in good shape with one of your gyutos and a thinner knife for more delicate work. There would be no need for any other gyutos. You would have everything covered. I would also use it for tasks I might use a deba on.
In summary, it's a unique knife that is a workhorse and a pretty one at that. I love the saya the detailed pin and the satchel it comes with. It's a bit blade heavy but that's a matter of personal preferance. When I look at knives I try to keep my subjective opinions neutral. Not everyone cuts like me. The other criticism which isn't too big of a deal is the length of the machi. It does serve the purpose of allowing the user to "choke-up" their grip nearer the blade which is helpful with the heavy knife. The balance point is about an inch blade side of the choil which again is a personal preference. It is after all a heavy blade and darn near indestructible.
I've been using knives professionally for 35 years. I am not tainted by popular opinion or fads. I recognize knives and their potential uses. I immediately recognize a knife's strong points and tailor it's use accordingly. There are many tasks this knife would be well suited for.
Thanks for making it.
TC response:
Hi Scott,
I appreciate you taking the time to write to me. I think you have a great way with words, and I think you pin pointed exactly what these knives are all about.
The grind marks are simply a product of the hand making process. Of course the blade could have been "super finished" and left spotless - but then it would loose a lot of it's external character - as well as that extra material I was talking about. Many of our knives show various marks associated with the making process, but we don't find these to detract from the aesthetic value of the piece. If anything, we feel it gives the blade it's unique character. Naturally, if we where ever asked to produce a blade that was completely mirror finished, we would most probably rise to the challenge - but it would be somewhat "against the grain" as far as our philosophy goes.
Regarding push cutting the paper, I would suggest stropping the knife on leather - just like you would a straight razor. I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the results.
Please feel free to share your notes about this knife with others in your field - I think there is far too much confusion about what TC Blades are all about at this point - and so many people out there simply don't know enough about knives to make an educated assessment.
Again, thank you for your input. I hope you enjoy this knife for many years to come.
Best wishes,
Saturday, June 26, 2010

Remember, it's a heavy blade with a thicker edge. Good for general prep and small butchery.

I have two TC Blades. One is a 240 Gyuto, and the other is a 270 Western style. I like both of them, but I have to admit, the Gyuto simply rocks.

Veteran entrepreneurship is again a hot topic. America needs job creators now more than ever, and veterans are a great pool to draw from. We are resourceful, driven, work well in teams, and can get stuff done. The perfect archetype for an entrepreneur.
A few key decisions made all the difference for Justin McCarty, a former soldier now living in San Francisco. He grabbed opportunities as they were presented, accelerating the successful transition to a rewarding post-military career. McCarty, 30, now works in operations for a fast-growing startup. There he applies everything he learned in the military, college, and at previous jobs.
Brendan Hart wanted to be a fireman, not a Marine. As a New Yorker who saw the devastation of the Sept. 11 attacks first-hand, he felt a burn that all veterans can identify with: the desire to serve. He immediately tried to join New York Fire Department, but so did a lot of other people in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks.The waitlist was several years, forcing Hart to reevaluate his future.
Chris Taylor stared at the limp body of a newborn baby. It was 2006, and he was in East Africa visiting a Darfur refugee camp. A young woman, too malnourished to breastfeed, was watching her own child die in her arms. "We immediately took her to our tent where we had Enfamil," Taylor told me in an email, "We spent an hour teaching her how to feed her baby with the bottles." Amazingly, the baby recovered almost immediately.
It's funny how much another person can change your life. Especially when he's wearing a vest full of explosives and wants to blow you up. For Chris Clark, an otherwise normal day with his Marine reconnaissance team in April 2006 became a turning point in his life after he narrowly survived a suicide bomber in al Anbar province, Iraq.
A lot of us slow down after the military. We served the country and are ready to enjoy some of the fruits of that service. Cold beer on a warm night; that kind of stuff.

Medical and Health Program:
With socio-economic development in India, a lot of new health clinics and hospitals are opening to address the chronic shortfall of medical care in India. Many medical colleges and has started producing more medical graduates. Today, the healthcare system in India is developing and there are facilities and funds available for medical research. Despite gaining a reputation as one of the fastest growing countries in the world, financial inequalities and lack of healthcare access is widespread in India.
Opportunities to Engage / Support:
Volunteers are welcome to participate in various fields of work – Public Health; Food, Nutrition and Preventive Healthcare Workshops; Mother and Child health, Adolescent health;etc. Our volunteers will work with local doctors. Volunteers working in the field of healthcare can be of tremendous value to local staff and medical facilities. Volunteers work in hospitals, small clinics, elderly homes, orphanages, mobile camps, child care hospitals and mobile camps to assist the staff in the treatment of patients. They can educate and guide these disadvantaged people about sanitation, hygiene, nutrition and provide first aid to people with small injuries. Equipment is basic but all staff and most locals have a good grasp of English. In addition to general clinic work, volunteers will also perform a number of home visits with the local staff.
Please note only medical specialisatiion professional volunteers will be allowed to treat patients. Medical students will not be allowed to treat patients. They will only be allowed to shadow local doctors and learn from them gaining valuable experience of working in a developing country that is full of fascinating contradiction..
Volunteers will work mostly in the morning and start at around 9 am for about 4 hours. Job responsibilities for Medical and Health Program / project volunteers/interns in India vary dependent on education, skills, experience and qualifications and on the community's current needs. Volunteers/Interns are not permitted to perform major exams or surgeries and they will mostly observe and learn from local doctors. Most often volunteers help doctors or work as their assistants. As a medical volunteer in India, you could be placed in a large hospital or small rural health center. Most of the hospitals (regardless of size) have many departments: Emergency, Gynecology, Pediatrics, Gastroenterology, Infectious Diseases, Hematology, Endocrinology, Oncology, Internal Medicine, Clinical Pathology, etc. so a volunteer may be placed in any department, but skills/qualifications will also be considered. Volunteers may also take patients' vitals: blood pressure, temperature, height and weight, and carry out health center tasks. You may provide treatment for minor injuries or wounds and document patient records. The tasks and activities vary day by day.
Medical Elective project
As a volunteer on the Medical Elective project you will have the opportunity to experience first-hand the stark contrast between medical practice in the Western world and the realities of medicine in developing countries.
This project is well suited to medical and nursing students who are looking to expand their knowledge of healthcare systems. When volunteering on this project you can expect to be placed in a hospital in either Dharamsala or Amritsar where you will shadow fully qualified physicians and nurses. Whilst hospitals in India are under resourced and equipment is basic, these institutions are bound by government regulations and cannot allow international volunteers to perform tasks independently.
Typical tasks that you can expect to assist with as a short term volunteer include; observing the operating room to become familiar with procedures in the surgery ward; working with children to move and exercise their limbs in the physical therapy department; examining burn wounds and changing patients' dressings in the burns unit; participating in emergency room rounds; following the main emergency room physician; learning about family planning and immunizations; and helping mothers of newborn babies. Experienced and longer-term volunteers (2+ months) will have more scope to assist with hands-on tasks, and may also have the option to experience work in a rural health clinic, where they will assist medical staff in performing day-to-day tasks in the more "off-the-beaten-track" communities of India. If you are placed in a more rural location, you may also have the opportunity to take part in local community medical campaigns where you will assist in conducting seminars to motivate and educate local villagers on healthcare initiatives.
This project is open to volunteers who are in medical or nursing school, and have completed at least 2 years training. You will need to present a copy of your qualification to our local team at least 30 days prior to your arrival. Please note that there is a minimum duration requirement of 2 weeks for this project and there is also a surcharge of US$60 per week to cover training and resources used. This will be included in the program fee quoted to you when you apply. Please ensure that you apply for the Medical Elective project at least 6 weeks before your chosen start date, to allow our local team the needed time to arrange a suitable placement.

Campbell: Halt Syria arms exports
Arms exports to Syria should be temporarily suspended to give peace talks a chance of getting off the ground, Sir Menzies Campbell has said.
The former Liberal Democrat leader said previous attempts to resolve the conflict had not worked, leaving a planned US-Russia-sponsored peace conference in Geneva, Switzerland, as the "only game in town".
The European Union allowed a Syrian arms embargo to expire this week, which paves the way for countries in the 27-member union to send weapons to arm rebels amid fears they risk being outgunned by President Bashar Assad's regime.
Sir Menzies, formerly Lib Dem foreign affairs spokesman, told the BBC's Today programme that countries with an interest in Syria should not do anything that might make it harder to achieve a resolution.
He said: "That's why they might not be willing to announce it publicly, but at the very least there ought to be an understanding that there will be a moratorium on any question of arms exports to any side so that this conference has a reasonable chance of getting off the ground."
Sir Menzies added: "There's one thing we can do which is absolutely vital and that is to deal more effectively with the terrible humanitarian consequences.
"A member of my staff has visited some of these camps in Jordan and we were told about violence, rape, prostitution, forced marriage, and of course the stability of a country like Jordan, both economically and politically, is at risk.
"That's why we should certainly be proceeding along the track of trying to get the conference under way but we should be in no doubt about the need to proffer as much possible assistance as we can to those countries bordering Syria which are subject to the terrible burden of refugees."

Clay Pipe - dúidin/dúidiní
Kiltimagh Railway Museum, County Mayo
Short, (6'') pipe, with inscription, 'Murphy's' and trademark etched on top.
Clay pipes/duidini were essential items, together with barrels of porter, in Irish 'wakes', where they were smoked by one and all. From the quantity ordered for this purpose it would seem that they were only used once and discarded.
The name, 'Murphy's,' on the pipe was that of the funeral undertaker and so the inscription doubled as an advertisement. Brendan O'Shea found this pipe in his garage and donated it to the Museum in 2004.

Be Compassionate
- Posted by Prophetess Sabrina M. Evans
- On August 5, 2017
- 0
God will go before us and behind us, but when God knows He can trust us, how much more will He not withhold the requests of our lips in prayer when we ask things of Him and bless our hearts even greater. The Joy of the Lord is our strength and salvation. The price was paid already against every emotional battle we face, every physical challenge we have, and every spiritual weapon the enemy sends to distract us. The blessings God gives us are "blessings of goodness," not blessings of merits based on anything He owes us.
Continuously, find hope in what God can further do as He anoints you with more oil from Heaven and prepare a table before you in the presence of your enemies. Keep making the Lord's strength your CONFIDENCE, His salvation your JOY and His Nature your COUNTENANCE. God takes great delight in those who honor Him with their hearts. Jesus is the Way…don't miss your opportunity to go higher. Keep trusting God to support you in all you do for the Kingdom and by His Grace and Favor, God will grant your wishes and fulfill every desire, because your heart burns with compassion to honor Him first in your life.
"For You meet him with the blessings of goodness; You set a crown of pure gold upon his head. He asked life from You, and You gave it to him, length of days forever and ever. His glory is great in Your salvation; Honor and majesty You have placed upon him. For You have made him most blessed forever; You have made him exceedingly glad with Your presence. For the king trusts in the Lord, And through the mercy of the Most High he shall not be moved." ~ Psalm 21:3-7
"You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over." ~ Psalm 23:5

A "delegated fee" or "meta-transaction" enables a third party to pay for a transaction fee on behalf of a user. This article explains how to create distributed applications (DApps) on Radix using fee delegation, so users are not required to own XRD tokens to execute or interact with them.
The network transaction fees are necessary to pay for the network infrastructure, the nodes, and to avoid spam. However, they can be a big problem when building an application aiming to give service to millions of users. No business is expecting its users to go to the market and buy tokens, nor wants to give them away to accounts that may never use them.
One of the most common concerns when deciding whether to build applications on top of public DLTs is the need for users to own the network utility tokens (on Radix, the XRD) that are required to pay for the transaction fees. Users are helpless without having the underlying utility token, and this locks out a large portion of the population from adopting blockchain DApps.
The Radix Engine supports specific features that can easily be used to solve this issue. As explained in the Atom Model article, atoms can be crafted in many ways, and they can contain many transactions inside them. Each atom can contain multiple particles and signatures, so that either they are all valid, or they are discarded.
When building on Radix, the typical architecture would be a server running the application or game, and a client that keeps the users' keys and operates either directly to the ledger or to the server.
To let users utilize the DApp without having XRD on their accounts, the application could simply create an extra service that receives incomplete atoms from clients, validates their contents and attach its own signature to pay for the fee.
In order to implement this solution, each time that a user interacts with the DApp, the service has to sign a specific UTXO, and the client needs to know this upfront to prepare the atom.
The steps are as follows:
The service starts by dividing funds into 10 different UTXO
A client authenticates with the server
The client requests a UTXO to pay for the fee through an API
The service selects an available UTXO, returns it to the client and flags it as unavailable.
The client generates a new atom with the service-provided XRD UTXO and signs it
The client sends the signed atom to the service
The service reviews the atom and decides whether it wants to pay for the transaction fee.
If the service chooses to pay the cost, it signs the atom and broadcasts it.
As explained, fee delegation is a good strategy for improving the user experience when interacting with DLTs. We believe that distributed ledgers shouldn't be difficult to transact with.
Beyond this elemental use case for improving usability for first-time users, delegated fees have more applications, such as:
A DApp requires users to utilize only their native token (e.g., for paying fees, for governance, voting, etc.) so users aren't tied to the underlying chain, making migration easier.
Promoting particular behaviors, like encouraging the users to add rather than remove liquidity on a Decentralized Exchange (DEX).
Increased user privacy since accounts don't need to be funded for transactions.

John Krasinski & Jimmy Kimmel's Holiday Pranks Ranked, From Inflatable Reindeer To Gift-Wrapped Cars — VIDEO
From Zac Efron and Seth Rogen's Neighbors to the holiday flick Christmas With The Kranks, disgruntled neighbors are a recurring theme in pop culture. Friendly (and sometimes not-so-friendly) rivalries frequently pop up between the people who live next-door. This isn't just a movie trope, though. Jimmy Kimmel and John Krasinski are actually neighbors and have their own Christmas tradition: a prank war. It all began four years ago when Krasinski and wife Emily Blunt broke in and left a light-up snowman in Kimmel's living room. From there, the pranks quickly escalated. On Tuesday's episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Krasinski and Kimmel's holiday prank war continued and it's as hilariously awesome as ever.
Apparently The Office star broke the rules and stole Kimmel's turn at a prank. The late-night host explained, "I was under the impression it was, like, my turn this year to do something to you." Krasinski was pretty proud of himself, saying,
This is my greatest joy about this year's prank, that we alternate and I robbed you of the joy. When I did the prank to you, I remember seeing your eyes like, "That's really funny. I hate you."
To see just how good this year's pranks were, check out the video below:
While this year's seasonal shenanigans may be the best yet, here's a ranking of all previous pranks between Krasinki and Kimmel. It's like a real-life version of Jim Halpert and Dwight Schrute's Office pranks.
13. Zombie In The Garden (2012)
The pranks began pretty tame. Krasinski and Blunt put this zombie in the Kimmels' garden. Scary and funny, but they can do better.
12. Insurance Sign (2011)
In the first year of the prank war, Kimmel installed this insurance sign in Krasinski's driveway. Krasinski was not pleased.
11. The Prank That Started It All (2011)
Last year, Kimmel recapped all of the previous pranks. This is the one that started it all: Krasinski and Blunt bought these light-up holiday creatures from Bed, Bath, and Beyond and left them in Kimmel's house. Simple, yet effective!
10. Inflatable Reindeer (2012)
Kimmel stuck this giant reindeer in the Krasinskis' driveway, complete with real reindeer poop. Yuck.
9. Gift-Wrapped Car, Part 1 (2014)
"I have to hand it to you, that's impressive," Kimmel said when he opened his car door and a ton of ornaments fell out.
8. Naked Santa (2015)
While Kimmel was working in the office, Krasinski hired a naked Santa to scale the window. Kimmel muttered to himself and quickly closed the blinds.
7. Gift-Wrapped Car, Part 2 (2014)
The car pranks continued for quite awhile. This time, a group of carolers popped out and Kimmel visibly flinched.
6. Reindeer In The Dressing Room (2015)
When Kimmel was in his dressing room, this cute little reindeer appeared. Based on his reaction, though, it didn't smell great.
5. Gift-Wrapped House (2013)
Stepping up his game, Kimmel wrapped all of the Krasinski family's windows and doors with wrapping paper. There were even carolers and a little elf.
4. Yard Sale (2015)
Kimmel printed tons of flyers with Krasinski's actual address. This "celebrity yard sale" featured everything — from appliances to sex toys to memorabilia. So great!
3. Gift-Wrapped Car, Part 3 (2014)
Yup, the final car prank was the best of the three. Krasinski wore a Santa suit, belly, and beard — he then said he'd give away all of Kimmel's belongings, like his computer and clarinet.
In fact, you can watch the hilarity for yourself here:
2. Eggnog Shower (2015)
Just when you thought this year's pranks were over, Kimmel had one more up his sleeves — drenching Krasinski in eggnog. Ever since the Nickelodeon days of pouring slime on people, this kind of prank will always be hilarious.
1. Winter Wonderland Dressing Room (2015)
This prank wins for multiple reasons. Not only did Krasinski transform Kimmel's entire office into a winter wonderland, but he wore a nutcracker outfit and startled him. Plus, there was a huge envelope that Kimmel went to open, but it was simply a distraction with nothing in it.
Please never change, you guys!

The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine is a world-leading centre for research and postgraduate education in public and global health. Our mission is to improve health and health equity in the UK and worldwide; working in partnership to achieve excellence in public and global health research, education and translation of knowledge into policy and practice.
The Cancer Survival Group wishes to appoint a statistician to apply machine learning techniques in order to identify a sub-population at risk of developing pancreatic cancer using routine electronic health records (EHRs).
This exciting post, funded by the Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund, involves two trans-disciplinary components. EHR data present a unique opportunity in public health because of their population-based coverage and their richness. However, they pose multiple challenges to address, which are not specific to this study. Possible approaches to analyse such high-dimensional data come from the machine learning framework. Machine learning techniques are promising but, in particularly for this study, interpretability of the results derived from these techniques has to be improved.
Pancreatic cancer has the lowest survival of all tumours: only 6.8% of patients survive for five years. It is the only invasive malignancy to have shown no significant improvements in survival during the past 40 years. In 2016 almost 8,500 people in England were diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, making it the 8th most common type of cancer.
It is essential that the post-holder has a postgraduate qualification in statistics, medical statistics or equivalent, and can demonstrate an aptitude for applied research in medical statistics. You must have some experience in machine learning techniques and programming in R or Python. We are looking for someone who can work independently as well as collaboratively as part of a team. Some publications, commensurate with your research experience, are expected and some experience of working with EHR data and/or cancer epidemiology would be an advantage. Further particulars are included in the job description.
The post, available from 1 September 2019, is full time and fixed-term for 12 months. The salary will be on the Academic Pathway salary scale Grade 6 at £39,304 per annum (inclusive of London Weighting). The post will be subject to the LSHTM terms and conditions of service. Annual leave entitlement is 30 working days per year, pro rata for part time staff. In addition to this there are discretionary "Director's Days". Membership of the Pension Scheme is available. The post is based in London.
Applications should be made on-line via our website at . Applications should also include the names and email contacts of 2 referees who can be contacted immediately if shortlisted. Online applications will be accepted by the automated system until 10pm of the closing date. Any queries regarding the application process may be addressed to .
The supporting statement section should set out how your qualifications, experience and training meet each of the selection criteria. Please provide one or more paragraphs addressing each criterion. The supporting statement is an essential part of the selection process and thus a failure to provide this information will mean that the application will not be considered. An answer to any of the criteria such as "Please see attached CV" will not be considered acceptable.

Why Was Balance Protocol Created?
Here we will explore the cutting edge of medicine
Dr Anthony Beck accepted me a patient who was struggling to find answers as to why my health was rapidly deteriorating. After years of struggling to find answers and visits with countless medical professionals, I was linked up with Dr. Beck through USSOCOM's Care Coalition. Dr Anthony G. Beck wasted no time in getting my complete background and medical history. After extensive functional diagnostic testing, Dr. Beck was able to narrow down my problems in only a few weeks. I was searching for a Functional Medicine doctor and fortunately for me I found him. Dr.Beck treats the patient, not a diagnosis or disease. Dr. Beck also takes extensive time to educate and empower his patients to advocate for themselves and shows them how to adjust their lifestyle to maintain and optimize their health.
Dr. Beck has helped me with my fibromyalgia, thyroid and self-esteem. The series of tests that he runs, covers every aspect of your body. Dr. Beck takes a look at the entire well being of the body not just a symptom. He is honest, encouraging and understanding. I have been able to reduce my antidepressant and my thyroid is working well now. Because of allergy food testing, my fibromyalgia pain has been reduced dramatically. I would highly recommend, Dr. Beck. He is worth every penny.
Before meeting Dr. Anthony G. Beck, I was a 54 year old semi-active woman and was on several medications for thyroid problems and high blood pressure. Since following his weekly advice and taking his recommended supplements… I am no longer on any medications and feel like a younger woman. Thanks Dr. Beck you changed my life!

Lingerie India
The first name that comes into our minds when we think about lingerie is "Victoria's Secret".
It is known that women love to buy lingerie at a physical store more than buying them online. This includes the reason that they can make sure it's of the right fit, correct size, get colours they like and so on. But women sometimes shy from asking for help and end up wearing the wrong size or the wrong type and end up with wardrobe malfunctions.
Hence, FashionLady publishes exclusive articles for their readers to learn the different types of bra, different bra styles, and bra wearing tips. Women's lingerie is a wide topics including body shape wear, tummy tucker's, bra, panties, corsets, baby doll's not to forget bikini's and swim wear too.
There are various best lingerie brands available in the market to buy your styles. Some are expensive lingerie brands while others are reasonable. It's up to you to decide which you should choose for your outfits. But please keep basic information in your mind while you go shopping for lingerie. Analyze under what garments they will be worn under, what material suits you the best, etc before you binge on the shopping. Also make sure to buy some nude colour bras and these are pretty helpful when wearing under the whites.
Swimwear for women must also be considered according to the body type and bust size. This could also mean that you pick your bikinis wisely.
As sensuous it looks and seems with pretty colours and silky lacy textures, be extremely careful and make sure that you wear the right size and type with every dress.

Somerset Condo: Vacation Rental in Marco Island, FL-Owner contact
Michelle Fenimore
Why We Chose Somerset: We first visited Marco Island in mid 2014 and loved the relaxed environment and the beautiful beaches. We love that it never feels too crowded We had always wanted to own a beachfront getaway to escape the cold northeast winters and decided this is where we wanted to buy one. In late 2014 we returned to Marco and had the opportunity to purchase a unit in the Somerset. We loved the Somerset property and its location so we bought it. We come down a few times a year with our children when they are not in school to relax, and rent it out for others to enjoy the rest of the year. The Unique Benefits at this Somerset Condo: We have rented condos and homes through owners ourselves many times, so I feel we know what renters are looking for in a property. We have updated everything and try to make it feel comfortable and like home to our guests.

By S.T. Ravikumar
Pics by M.N. Lakshminarayana Yadav
Gone are the days when we heard constant complaints from Policemen that they are treated badly by their superiors and the government too does not provide any facilities to them. Thanks to the initiative by some welfare-oriented senior Police officers who have served Mysuru, the Police personnel are getting good facilities that take care of their daily needs. These facilities are aimed at improving their standard of life as they slog day-in-and-day-out to maintain law and order and discipline traffic. These facilities — Aarakshaka Kalpavruksha and Police Canteen — have no doubt eased the financial burden of Policemen but at the same time are making them take pride in what they are doing. This Weekend Star Supplement takes a peek into the facilities offered to Policemen and also presents a unique jail bakery where quality snacks and pastries are prepared within the walls of the jail and served outside for the general public.
Aarakshaka Kalpavruksha: Of the Police, by the Police, for the Police
When Aarakshaka Kalpavruksha, a police-friendly canteen that supplies subsidised food for Policemen, was launched in Mysuru last year, people thought it to be like any other canteen that supplied food at lesser cost. But the canteen has proved them wrong and is a resounding success with Policemen making the best use of the canteen and the department innovating and implementing various measures to make it a super hit.
For the record, the Aarakshaka Kalpavruksha completed one year on May 26. The then Superintendent of Police Ravi D. Channannavar had initiated the facility after the resounding success of "Cops Cafe" introduced by him when he was the SP in Shivamogga.
The canteen is functioning from District Armed Reserve Grounds at Jyothinagar. Apart from providing food, the canteen also supplies daily items required for Policemen under subsidised prices. The canteen serves breakfast, lunch and dinner and facilitates the families of Policemen to purchase goods that will be lesser than the market rates.
As one enters the canteen, he/she can see a board where it is written "Service is our Aim", "Food, not sermons, must be given for the hungry". Along with the regular breakfast, lunch and dinner, chat items, beverages and cold drinks can be savoured here. Apart from serving the Policemen, the canteen also provides quality household items under subsidised rates. The prices are less when compared to the market rates and shoppers can buy products that are cheaper by 15 to 20 percent from the regular markets. Items including clean drinking water, groceries, vegetables, oils, bakery items and other necessities are sold here.
The canteen is a boon for the Policemen of the city, especially those living in the vicinity of Jyothinagar, Gayathripuram and Raghavendranagar including District Armed Reserve Police, City Armed Reserve, City Civil Police and people living in KEB Quarters, Central PWD Quarters, Air Force Quarters and surrounding areas.
Apart from obtaining subsidies for household items and groceries that range from 15 to 20 percent, the canteen is a beehive of activities in the evenings where Policemen come there with their families after a hectic day of work to relax and savour tasty evening snacks – from mushroom chilly to Gobi manchurian to churumuri, fried rice and noodles. Snacks and food rates start from Rs. 5 up to Rs. 30.
For those who need medical supplies and cannot afford the steep prices outside, the canteen has an exclusive wing that sells medicines under subsidised prices. The outlet is open from 9.30 am till 10.30 pm, every day.
Those who need clean drinking water can get 20-litre cans and fill water after inserting Rs. 5 into the machine. So popular is the drinking water supply unit that every day, people buy more than 300 litres of pure water from here.
There is an ATM attached to the State Bank of India within the canteen premises. One notable aspect in the canteen is that the vegetables sold here are organic where no chemicals are used. There is a separate Nandini Milk Parlour where Policemen can purchase dairy products.
While the grocery unit and the clean drinking water units are managed by the Policemen themselves, other units have been given to private parties to run and manage. The canteen is managed by Reserve Police Inspector Shankaregowda.
Speaking to Star of Mysore, several Police constables appreciated Aarakshaka Kalpavruksha and the services the unit is providing. The canteen facility is surely benefiting Policemen, especially lower-rank officers, as they would get discounts on all items sold at the canteen.
"The canteen also sells cosmetics, kitchen utensils and household goods. We are lucky to get canteen facility and moreover, the goods here are sold at 30% less price than MRP. All Police officers are eligible to buy goods up to Rs. 3,000 a month," a constable added.
Mysuru Superintendent of Police Amit Singh said that the canteen is a boon to the constables and their families as they can fulfil all their daily needs and they get to buy quality products under subsidised prices. "The canteen was established by Ravi Channannavar considering the 24/7 hectic nature of work of the constables. We will extend the canteen soon adding new features and sections," he added.
Commenting on his own initiative and the success of Aarakshaka Kalpavruksha, former Mysuru SP Ravi Channannavar, who is now the Deputy Commissioner of Police Bengaluru West, said that his intention was to provide a quality life for the Policemen.
"I wanted to establish ragi, wheat, jowar floor mill at the canteen premises and before I could make any move, I was transferred. I also wanted to establish an exclusive unit that sells handicrafts made by the children of Policemen and physically challenged children. I had even spoken to R. Guru of Cycle Pure Agarbathies in this regard. I hope that officers in Mysuru take this forward," he said.
Ravi remembered the help and assistance he had got from Police officers in establishing Aarakshaka Kalpavruksha – the then DCP Dr. Vikram V. Amathe, South Rural Inspector Jagadeesh, Sub-Inspector Jayaprakash, Shankaregowda, Shivakumar of Reserve Police and Armed Police Head Constable Manu.
Police Canteen eases financial burden of cops
The City Police Canteen was started when Dr. M.A. Saleem was the City Police Commissioner in 2014. The canteen is located on the Lalitha Mahal Road on the campus of Karnataka State Reserve Police force near the City Armed Reserve Grounds. Here too, household items are sold at a subsidised price between 20 and 30 percent.
Starting from basic necessities like toothpaste, brushes, oils, soaps, decorative items, the canteen sells snacks, shoes, belts, caps, fans, stoves, cooker, and electronic items too. Except for groceries, Policemen come here to buy almost all items needed for their houses.
The canteen is open from 10 am till 1.30 pm and from 3.30 pm to 6.30 pm. Policemen can produce identity cards and each person can buy items worth Rs. 3,000. Following the resounding success of the City Police Canteen, the same facility has been extended to the district Police where a canteen functions at District Armed Reserve Grounds at Jyothinagar.
Speaking about his intention of establishing the City Police Canteen way back in 2014, Saleem, who is now the Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) Crime in Bengaluru, told Star of Mysore that his intention was to provide same facilities to the Policemen that are availed by the Armed Forces. As the Armed Forces serve the country across land, sea and air, Policemen too serve the nation by maintaining law and order 24/7. They too deserve such facilities, Saleem said and added that he was happy to note that the canteen has been successfully running.

Dramatic human catastrophes, engineered by the Communist Party, punctuated the 30 years following the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949: A bloody intervention in the Korean War; man-made famine during the "Great Leap Forward"; the Cultural Revolution. After the rise of more pragmatic Communist leaders in 1979, China settled down (with the notable exception of Tiananmen Square in 1989) and got on with the business of economic growth. Abuse of state power hardly ended, though; it simply took less spectacular form. The "one child" policy, which created havoc one family at a time, epitomized this period.
On Thursday, Beijing finally ended the policy after 35 years, and much of the coverage focused on Beijing's ostensible reasons for the long overdue decision: the many unintended consequences of a policy that was designed to ease resource scarcity, but which has instead landed China in a long-term demographic predicament. Having reduced births by roughly 400 million, China is on course to a median age comparable to that of the most rapidly aging European societies by 2050, according to the latest United Nations projections. By that year, more than 36 percent of China's 1.35 billion people will be older than 60. Even with its recent rapid economic growth, China is growing old before growing truly wealthy; its shrinking labor force will be hard-pressed to support the millions of dependent elderly.
There's a broad lesson in this about simplistic Malthusian thinking — as well as a very specific lesson about the characteristic mind-set of totalitarian states. As anthropologist James C. Scott put it in his classic critique of large-scale social engineering, "Seeing Like a State": "Progenitors of such plans regarded themselves as far smarter and farseeing than they really were and, at the same time, regarded their subjects as far more stupid and incompetent than they really were. … [P]lanners ignore the radical contingency of the future … whatever awareness they had… seemed to dissolve before their faith."
What also dissolved, in the minds of the one-child policy's architects, was any shred of compassion. Even if it had succeeded in fine-tuning China's population growth according to some universally acknowledged criteria, the one-child policy would have been monstrous. The proof of that is the litany of forced abortions, harassed and jailed mothers and female infanticide that the policy brought in its wake, and which continued even after Beijing liberalized the rules five years ago. Those who spoke up in protest, such as dissident lawyer Chen Guangcheng — now living in U.S. exile — often wound up arrested and jailed, too.
In altering the one-child policy, the Chinese authorities bowed to reality without openly acknowledging their failure, either practical or moral. To the contrary, they continue to assert power over the Chinese people's reproductive choices. Would-be parents will still face a two-child per couple limit, still enforced through a system of permits and fines. Given the high cost of child-rearing in China's crowded cities, many will be deterred from having more than one child anyway. In short, it is too late to reverse the damage and China will suffer the consequences for generations to come.

Download our State of the Phish™ Report
Explore data from tens of millions of simulated phishing attacks, plus strategies for reducing risk.
Wombat surveyed its database of IT security professionals and found that 85% of organizations were victims of phishing scams in 2015, a 13% increase over 2014. And 60% of respondents reported that the number of phishing attacks is up overall.
"The threat of phishing attacks is real. News headlines and numerous studies have proven that phishing attacks are on the rise, and our survey of security professionals showed the same," the report reads. "Not only are more organizations reporting being the victim of phishing attacks, but the number they are experiencing has gone up. Attackers are becoming more sophisticated and varied in their approach, using multiple threat vectors."
The most effective phishing scams
In addition to the survey results provided in Wombat's new "State of the Phish™" report, the company also analyzed the results of millions of simulated phishing attacks sent through its platform to customers between October 1, 2014, through September 30, 2015. The simulated phishing attacks are one of the tools the company uses to help train businesses on how to steer clear of phishing scams. The analysis shed light on the most effective types of phishing scams.
Wombat found that phishing emails disguised as legitimate work emails are some of the most effective when it comes to hooking victims. In one example, a simulated phishing email disguised as an "Urgent Email Password Change" request had a 28% click rate.
"Users were most likely to click on attachments and messages they expected to see in their work inboxes, like an HR document or a shipping confirmation," Wombat writes. "They were more cautious with messages we consider to be 'consumer oriented,' such as gift card offers and social networking notifications."
The Wombat report went on to describe four types of highly effective phishing emails that employees need to be cautious about. They include:
"Remember, phishing attacks are often preceded by social engineering phone calls, or impostors gaining access to information or areas they should not," the report reads. "You should teach your end users to not only watch out for phishing emails, but other [social engineering] threat vectors as well."

Juicing can be alarming. You never know exactly what it will taste like. I get it. I've been juicing for over a decade, and I still run into drinks that challenge my taste pallet, oh! and my wallet.
I'm thrilled to share with you another 2 ingredient juice that is refreshing, and sweet. So much positivity whilst fighting heart disease (insert dancing emoji here)
Diet Plan:
For best result enjoy as a meal replacer for 7 days interchangeably with "Sour Punch" and "The Bonus" juices found here on my website! Begin on a weekend. Store your juices up to 2 days in mason jars and a well-chilled refrigerator. Drink immediately for best results. Tag me!
Let's Get Started!
Ingredients: Makes 2 Servings approx.
400 ml 241 calories
- Half a Pineapple
- 1 Cucumber
- Cutting Board
- Knife
- Juicer
- Strainer
- 1 cup of white vinegar
- water for soaking
Serving sizes and calorie count may vary due to random sizes of fruit
Please view my "Beet It" recipe for a simple rinsing method if you do not wish to soak your juicing ingredients.
Healthy juicing starts with proper cleaning. Submerge your cucumber in cold water. It is important to use cold water to prevent the breakdown of vitamins. Add a splash of white vinegar (Click Here to get an idea of what it looks like and price). Leave it in water for approximately 10-20 minutes.
Please note that this method will not eliminate all pesticides.
Leave the peels intact! Cucumber peels are high in vitamin K!
Finally, feed the ingredients through your juicer!
Pineapple has a tropical vibrant taste of sweet and tart. The flesh is rich in vitamin K and enzymes called bromelain that aid in digestion. These enzymes break down protein molecules which makes it easier for the small intestine to absorb. Have a cold? eat chunks of fresh pineapple. It will reduce mucus in the throat and nose.
Cucumber taste like rainwater! Did you know its considered a fruit? Is it an extraordinary source of fiber, and 96% water, which helps with bowel movements, and hydration.

Please be sure to read the policy summary for each product, advisories, insurance plan, policy guide, terms and conditions, special account guide (for variable individual annuity insurance) and other documents as part of your research.
Individual annuity insurance is assessed annual insurance–related costs, investment management–related costs, annuity management costs, etc. subsequent to the start of the policy, in addition to policy fees at the time of signing. However, such fees differ according to product, selected special accounts, method of annuity receipt and other factors that prevent us from disclosing such fees here. In addition, cancellation charges may be assessed in the case of cancellation within a certain defined period. Fees incurred by the customer are the aggregate amount of these fees and charges. Please confirm such details with the policy summary, advisories, etc.
For individual annuity insurance, an exchange fee is assessed separately from the fees identified above when converting yen-denominated currency into foreign currencies (one way; maximum ¥1.25 per base currency unit). In addition, an exchange fee is assessed when converting foreign-denominated annuities or death benefits into Japanese yen; however, the handling of these fees differs among financial institutions, preventing us from disclosing this fee here.
Individual annuity insurance does not include any capital and/ or return rate guarantees by the Bank.
Individual annuity insurance is invested in domestic and international stocks and bonds; accordingly, there is an associated risk that annuities and/ or cancellation refunds may be less than credited premiums due to falling stock and/ or bond prices, increases in market interest rates, fluctuations in foreign exchange rate, etc.
When denominated in foreign currency, there is a risk that the amount of annuities or cancellation refunds converted to yen may be less than the amount of credited premiums converted to yen due to fluctuations in exchange rates.
Individual annuity insurance is a life insurance product where the insurance is underwritten by a life insurance underwriting company, and is not a deposit. The Bank, as an agent, conducts policy intermediation; however, the actual party to the policy is not the Bank, but rather the life insurance underwriting company.
Individual annuity insurance is not covered by deposit insurance. Please consult with the appropriate information desk regarding deposit insurance.
In the event that the life insurance underwriting company declares bankruptcy, protective measures are available through the Life Insurance Policyholders Protection Corporation of Japan; however, there is an associated risk that the amount of death benefit/ annuity amount promised in the original policy will be reduced, and that as a result, death benefits or annuity payments may be less than the credited premiums.
The application for individual annuity insurance has no effect on other transactions between the customer and the Bank.
The Bank does not accept applications for individual annuity insurance when borrowed funds (including funds borrowed from other financial institutions) are provided as insurance premiums.
Due to legal regulations, the Bank may not be able to accept applications for life insurance depending on the customer's employer.

Remember your creator in the days of your youth.. (Eccl 12.1)
In this day and age when the world offers so much to entice and mislead the young people, our Creator's clarion call rings clear.
Our vision for youth ministry is to bring young people together, with Christ as the central focus. Our desire is that our youth grow in faith and in their personal relationship with Jesus. They are challenged to seek Him for all the hard questions of life and to apply scriptural principles in their daily lives thereby being better equipped to serve the King of Kings.
They are also encouraged to serve in meaningful ways in the church and the world and to use their gifts to the glory of God. The youth join in worship, service, outreach and fellowship.
Besides active participation in the church, the youth meet on Sunday evenings (fortnightly) for a time of wholesome fun, vibrant worship and studying God's word.
Visit our Blog site maintained exclusively for youthful heart with exciting event updates and topics of interest. Site is maintained by youth of Springs of Life Community Church, Thane.

SPENCER Prior has sent Gary Croft's partner Lydia flowers - to say congratulations and thank you.
For Lydia gave birth to their first child during Cardiff City's 1-1 draw against Burnley at Turf Moor and inadvertently handed Prior his first Nationwide League appearance of the season.
Croft's new son was born at Heath Hospital in Cardiff just as the Bluebirds were clinching their First Division point in Lancashire - at 4.49pm on Saturday.
"It was a traumatic birth which was drawn out," said Croft.
"The baby is still in hospital and being monitored, but it all seems to be going well now.
"I kept in touch with how City were doing because we had the Cardiff City World commentary on in the room where the baby was born."
Croft was in Lancashire with the City team when the call came and he dashed back to South Wales to be with Lydia at the birth.
His departure forced manager Lennie Lawrence into a late team change - and gave Prior his chance.
City reshuffled their back four with Tony Vidmar moving to right-back and Prior playing alongside Danny Gabbidon in the middle.
"I had a feeling it could be my day - and it was Crofty's day as well," said Prior.
"I knew Crofty's missus was due to have the baby - and I had to be ready physically and mentally.
"I'll be sending a bunch of flowers to the Croft household as congratulations - and a thank you."
Prior, who is out of contract at the end of this season, had spent nine successive games on the substitutes' bench without getting a taste of action.
"Every professional footballer wants to be in the first team and I have had to be patient," said Prior.
"It's been tough and I've knocked on the manager's door a few times to have a right go at him.
"The only thing that helped was seeing how well the two guys, Tony Vidmar and Danny Gabbidon, were playing - their form has been so good I have had to wait my chance.
"Now I've got in and it's up to the manager."
