Tech week could signal thaw between Trump and industry
As he surveyed a room of 18 tech executives whose companies are worth trillions of dollars, Donald Trump couldn't resist.
"We have approximately $3.5 trillion of market value in this room. But that is almost the exact number we have created (through stock market gains) since my election," he told Apple CEO Tim Cook, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and others who gathered Monday at the White House to discuss how the federal government can make better use of technology. "In fact, I think we have you beat by a little bit, which is a pretty good number. But I congratulate you all on an amazing job."
And with that classic opener from Trump — correct in the stock gains, if not precisely all the reasons — began what may be a thaw in recently frosty relations between tech industry and the White House.
Tech stocks have indeed been on a tear, leading the stock market to record highs and ballooning the personal wealth of attendees like Bezos, now the second wealthiest man in the world. . Amazon shares passed $1,000 in May, Google parent Alphabet accomplished the same feat this month, and Apple passed $800 billion in market value, a record, in May.
The Wilshire 5000, the broad gauge of the stock market, has added $3.6 trillion since election day on Nov. 8, 2016, a byproduct of several factors, say economists and professional investors, including early hopes of a fiscal stimulus from Trump's election, a rebounding global economy and strong first-quarter earnings.
Against this sunny backdrop, the new Administration's policies have cast a pall on the tech industry. The president and Silicon Valley differ sharply on immigration, offshoring of jobs, encryption and H-1B work visas. But the two sides could find common ground on taxation, de-regulation, and apprenticeship programs and job training.
Early Tuesday, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and National Economic Council Director Gary Cohn met with 10 tech industry group leaders at the White House. Mnunchin said the administration's objective with tax reform is lower corporate tax rates and a simplified individual tax system.
The goal is to make it easier for U.S.-based companies to bring revenues generated overseas back to the U.S. with less of a penalty than they face currently, Mnuchin said. "We are committed to getting this done and getting it done quickly," he said. "Our objective is to simplify the system … and bring back trillions of dollars."
That will increase investment and "create jobs in our country," Mnuchin said. The administration wants to have a tax plan that's agreed upon by the White House and Congress by the first weeks of September. Yet details remain sketchy and some Republican Congressmen from high-tax states such as California, New York and Illinois have voiced opposition.
Monday's meeting of tech's biggest names — 18 executives, including the leaders of IBM, Oracle, SAP and Intel, attended — kicked off tech week in Washington, D.C. During the session's sit-down, among other things, Bezos says it was "impossible to overstate" the importance of artificial intelligence, and Trump vowed "stronger protection against cyber attacks." Separately, Cook brought up the importance of immigration, though it remained unclear what was specifically discussed.
White House spokesman Sean Spicer, in his Tuesday briefing, said the president will visit Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on Wednesday to observe "innovations in agriculture" at Kirkwood Community College.
On Thursday, Trump will be treated to demos of drones and universal broadband, according to Spicer.
The administration's emphasis on tech, and its growing influence on the U.S. economy, is "largely symbolic, but symbols are important in politics," says Sarah Bonk, a former Apple senior design manager who is co-founder and chief strategy officer at DisruptDC, a nonpartisan, non-profit coalition for better government and elections based in Washington, D.C.
"There are opportunities, as there were during the Obama Administration, to create a more sane tax policy and address the jobs and skills gaps," she says.

Goat Milk Soaps, Goat Milk Lotions & Other Goat Goodies
Must have products from our top sellers
Most Popular Items
Welcome to Silly Goats Soap Company!
We hand-make all of our natural Goat Milk Soap, Goat Milk lotion, and other natural skin care products!
Everything is made from scratch right here at Silly Goats Farm. Everything we make with goat milk, comes from our herd of registered LaMancha goats. We started making our soaps and lotions for ourselves as part of our goal to be more self-sufficient. We gave them away to friends and family and they loved them and asked for more, Silly Goats Soap Company was born.
We started our business in July 2014 with 4 fragrances of goat milk soap. We have over 40 fragrances of soap, plus many other natural skin care products in our product line now. We have just made a strategical and blessed move to South-Central Kentucky. We are very happy to call Columbia, KY in Adair County, our new home. The beautiful green, rolling hills are a wonderful setting for our goats, with lots grass and foliage for them to graze on, here on our little slice of heaven called Silly Goats Farm! We have been truly blessed and come a long way since 2014. We are looking forward to what God has in store for us in The Bluegrass State of Kentucky.
Wanting to get back to the basics is what started us on the journey of making our natural soaps, lotions and other skin care products for ourselves. As we made them and shared them with our friends and family, we found out how many other people were concerned with the artificial ingredients they were putting into their bodies and on their skin. We wanted to share the natural wonders of goat milk skin care products with everyone and be able to sell them to them at a price everyone could afford.
We Are also keeping our presence in Upstate, NY. Our son Christian and his partner Eric own & operate Silly Goats Soap of NY. They will be doing most of the craft shows we were doing in the past and adding to their schedule. We will keep their schedule as well as our new, KY craft show schedule posted on SillyGoatsSoap.com/show-schedule.

Juliana Hatfield
Shellye Valauskas Experience
Cafe Nine
250 State Street
New Haven, CT, 06511
Doors 8:00 PM / Show 9:00 PM
This event is 21 and over
Fast on the heels of April 2018's acclaimed "Juliana Hatfield Sings Olivia Newton-John" comes Juliana Hatfield's new self-produced all-originals album "Weird". Freda Love Smith (Blake Babies, Sunshine Boys) and Todd Philips (Lemonheads, The Juliana Hatfield Three) each played drums on multiple songs while Hatfield played all of the other instruments (and some additional drums).
"Weird" is an album about disconnection and discomfort. "I often feel cut-off from other people, from my feelings, from technology, from popular culture," says Hatfield. "I feel weird, I feel like I'm dreaming my life and that I am going to wake up some day."
While Hatfield's songs—melodies and lyrics and structures– are meticulously crafted, her guitar parts are loose and sometimes a little unhinged, first-take expressions of this temperamental uneasiness.
"Personally, I feel like a malfunctioning machine. There's a screw or two loose. I want my guitar playing to reflect that."
It took nearly a decade, but The Shellye Valauskas Experience (Shellye Valauskas and Dean Falcone) released their second recording, History of Panic, on February 10, 2018. History of Panic, their first full-length album, is the follow-up to the 2008 EP Box It Up, which was named one of the top 10 local releases in the yearly roundups in the New Haven Register and New Haven Advocate. Recorded at Q Division Studios in Somerville, and Firehouse 12 in New Haven, History of Panic features collaborations with artists who have shaped their sound in one way or another – legendary drummer Dave Mattacks (Fairport Convention, XTC, Paul McCartney), Jon Auer (The Posies, Big Star, Dynamo Royale) and Matt Pynn (Dwight Yoakam, Miley Cyrus), as well as New England favorites Ed Valauskas (Juliana Hatfield, The Gravel Pit), Scott Janovitz (The Figgs, Graham Parker), Jen D'Angora (Jenny Dee & the Deelinquents, The Downbeat 5), Abbie Barrett, and Brendan Haley. Also on the album is drummer Jim Balga who goes back to the early '80s with Falcone, as members of legendary New Haven pop combo The Excerpts (which also included Jon Brion).
Based in the New Haven area, Valauskas (a high school biology teacher) and Falcone (who wears many hats) have been making music together for years. In addition to being Valauskas' songwriting collaborator, bandmate & producer, Falcone has served the Connecticut music scene since the early '80s with Jon Brion in The Excerpts, his own Dean and the Dragsters and a host of others. He has also worked on a national level collaborating with Norah Jones, Brian May (Queen), Aimee Mann, Lydia Loveless, Susannah Hoffs and Neko Case. On History of Panic, produced by Falcone, their shared love of the punchy pop of Crowded House, The Posies and Aimee Mann helps them nail a distinctive, accessible, radio-friendly sound from the start.

Your overall wellbeing is made up of four layers: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Many people are obsessed with the physical layer but your energy, appetite, liveliness, passion and how you feel is reliant on a symbiotic relationship between the physical and the deeper and more powerful, mental, emotional and spiritual layers. This explains why there are lots of people that eat well, exercise and relax, who still suffer from energy dips, feeling unfulfilled, general unhappiness and anxiety.
Information is everywhere. However, when this information is digested in an unstructured and isolated way, it does not give you a holistic blueprint for living. Ironically, in a time of information overload, people are more confused than ever. Their lives are a quagmire of twists and turns lacking direction and clarity. One month their performance at work is high, next month they are burned-out and rush to naturopaths for help and sign gym memberships for comfort. This aimlessness continues in a cycle.
"Why isn't this vitamin working for me?"
"I exercise and workout, but why am I still not losing weight?"
"I make time to relax, so why do I still have trouble sleeping well and have energy dips?"
"I meditate, so why do I still feel anxious and unhappy sometimes?"
It comes down to this: most people have lost control over their life. In fact, they are just lost, period. Life management was never taught as a formal subject at school. There is no curriculum. And the worst part is that some of us often live in denial "it will never happen to me", until something drastic happens: chronic fatigue, IBS, pre-diabetes, pre-heart disease, chronic anxiety, pre-depression, loss of a job or partner, and it starts to unravel from there. A lot of us do not realise how delicately our lives hang in the balance. Sometimes we are one thread away from total disarray.
Let the team at A Higher Branch Success Academy help you get your life back under control.
Join us at Upgrade Your Life 2019 to learn how to craft a fun, fulfilling and complete life.

Led Lighting are used to better see and be seen. But they are also a powerful tool for designers and automotive marketers, suggesting both elegance and technological sophistication. Manufacturers have understood this well and are multiplying innovations in this field, as much to improve active safety as to invent new languages in terms of automotive style.
Two Led headlights and a grille, like two eyes and a mouth. Eyes that can be laughing or threatening, an amused mouth or the opposite grimace. For many years, automotive designers have used these essential elements to give personality to their creations, in a context of fierce competition and technical solutions that tend towards a certain uniformity of the style of modern cars.
Fortunately, a new lighting technology was ready to land: the LEDs Lighting. Clearly less energy-consuming than light bulbs (halogen or discharge), the LEDs Lighting were all suitable for use as daylighting. Some manufacturers, Audi in mind, have gone to great lengths using LED garlands as a visual signature of their models, instantly recognizable day and night. So today, even humble citizens enjoy their "whiskers" bright. Premium brands must therefore find other ways to distinguish themselves.
They have already begun by extending the LEDs to all lighting functions. The current Mercedes S-Class will thus remain in history as the first car to be totally devoid of conventional light bulbs, since it uses LEDs as sole source of light, from ceiling lights to high beams. The more adventurous have even tried the solution of laser headlights, where conventional diodes are replaced by units emitting an ultra-bright laser beam. For cost reasons, however, the laser headlights remain anecdotal: only the Audi R8 and the BMW i8 can receive them. And these options are still expensive: almost 4,000 € for the Audi and 6,500 € for the BMW!
But the next revolution in automotive lighting will undoubtedly come from OLED technology. OLED diodes (for "organic light-emitting diode") are already used for mobile phones and some flat screen televisions. By their appearance, they differ radically from conventional LED diodes: they consist of a superposition of seven layers, two of which serve as electrodes. Direct current is sent from the cathode to the anode through a light emitting layer. OLED diodes are ultrafine (a few micrometers thick), emit a coherent light all over their surface, and are even flexible!
Clearly, OLED technology opens up a whole new field of exploration for designers, who can imagine three-dimensional effects, or even cover all or part of the body of OLED diodes for a spectacular visual impression. The classic door handles could for example be replaced by tactile areas materialized by light guides on the surface of the bodywork. In short, everything is possible! The first applications of OLED lighting in large series should not be long, and Audi may well be the first to open hostilities. We bet that after the vogue of 2005 "whiskers" LED, ultra-complex lights OLED will be the big fashion of 2020!

Can every Marvel movie be like this from now on? Please?
Black Panther, the latest film in the Marvel canon and (arguably even more importantly) the next film from Fruitvale Station and Creed director Ryan Coogler, has finally made its way into theaters.
A lot is happening in the MCU right now: Tony Stark and Steve Rogers still have their fallout after their events of Civil War (which, after seeing Black Panther, suddenly doesn't seem so important anymore), Thor and the Guardians of the Galaxy are running around to other dimensions in space and now there's Wakanda — the land in which T'Challa (Chadwick Boseman) now rules.
To the rest of the world, Wakanda is nothing more than a third-world country in the middle of Africa. There's nothing special or particularly noteworthy about it, it just exists. The Wakandans know, however, this isn't true. Buried deep in the mountains of their homeland exists a deep and sacred culture — one that's far more technologically advanced than anyone on the outside would have believed possible. That's right, they got spaceships and self-driving cars up in there.
After the events of Civil War, T'Challa is now the person put in charge of protecting the peace between the various nations in Wakanda, harvesting and keeping the secret vibranium metal safe and making sure the outside world doesn't intrude on their way of life.
To do this, he becomes the Black Panther — a superhero that's been passed down from generation to generation.
He can't do it alone, of course. He has help from his younger sister Shuri (Letita Wright); the smartest scientist and inventor in the entire world (yes, even more so than Tony Stark), a former flame and powerful ally named Nakia (Lupita Nyong'o) and Okoye (Danai Gurira) — the leader of his own personal fighting force (think the king's guard from Game of Thrones).
However, when a new threat emerges in Wakanda who goes by Erik Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan) — a man who has some personal ties to T'Challa — T'Challa finds ruling to be a much more demanding task than he anticipated. T'Challa is put to the test as he's forced to decide what kind of ruler, exactly, he's going to be.
Civil War served as an excellent introduced to the character of T'Challa. In a movie that had so much going on and so many subplots, his storyline of revenge and acceptance was one of the things that stood out the most.
Black Panther, then, is the next logical step in T'Challa's journey. He's made peace with the demons that haunted him about his father's death, now he has to go back to Wakanda and figure out what it means to lead a group of people. It's his heroes journey we watch him take, as he's thrown into a position he wasn't ready for (there's an incredible dream-like sequence pretty early on that points this out) and he doesn't fully understand. If Civil War was about T'Challa learning what it meant to take on the responsibilities of being a leader, Black Panther is about him learning what it means to keep his morality while dawning those responsibilities.
And let's talk about some of the culture and diversity that's seen in Black Panther, because that's really one of the main talking points here. Wakanda is an incredibly gorgeous and realized landscape. Coogler and cinematographer Rachel Morrison — the first female cinematographer in the MCU, which is something people need to be talking about more — mine Wakanda for all it's worth. It's a land that represents real, African culture, and the fact that we see that in a mainstream Marvel movie is praiseworthy to no end.
The same can be said about the representation aspect. We've seen black superheroes before, but we've never seen them in this way. Black Panther has an almost entirely black cast, a black director, a largely black crew and an incredible soundtrack produced by Kendrick Lamar, SZA and a handful of others.
Meaning, for the first time in forever, African-Americans are being represented in a way they never have been before. Little boys and girls across the entire world can go see this movie and see someone who actually represents themselves up on the screen as a hero. I don't know about you, but I think that's pretty cool.
Coogler also takes this opportunity to provide some actual depth and emotion into the Marvel Cinematic. While Thor: Ragnarok is fun because it embraces the Saturday morning cartoon feel, Black Panther grounds itself in more of a realistic and relevant manner — even when taking place in a mystical land like Wakanda.
Much of this comes from the character of Killmonger — easily the best Marvel villain to date (yes, even more so than Loki). The best villains, typically, are the ones who are rooted in ideologies you might understand. Sure, they might have extreme methods on how they achieve their goals — i.e. killing people — but if they come from a place where you understand, they'll at least be rooted in sympathy.
That's exactly what Coogler and Jordan accomplish with Killmonger. Apart from the fact that he's basically taking the same revenge journey T'Challa did in Civil War (which REALLY makes him sympathetic, when you look at it that way), all of his reasoning behind his actions are sound and rooted in truth. Some of the best parts of the movie are when Killmonger and T'Challa simply go back and forth, spitting out what they believe and what the real world implications of those beliefs could mean.
There's also an incredibly large and talented supporting cast, all of whom deserve recognition. The beauty behind it all is that Coogler manages to find a purpose for everyone in this movie. So often, when talking about superhero movies, it feels like we come away saying 'this person was great, but I wish they were in the movie more or had more to do.' That's not the case in Black Panther. Every character is given their fair amount of screen-time, and they all serve a greater purpose in the story itself.
Letitia Wright might be the biggest standout of all of them — as fans are now clamoring for her to have her own standalone movie after this (which, I promise you, I'd be first in line to see). Her comedic timing is one point (Black Panther, thankfully, has less comedy than previous Marvel movies and the jokes never take away from the serious moments like they did in Guardians 2) and there's a lot that could potentially be explored with her character further down the line.
The relationship between T'Challa and Nakia also felt natural — this isn't a forced superhero romance like we saw in the first Thor movie, this actually has purpose and reason behind it. Danai Guria also stands out as being a badass who's dealing with some own issues of morality as well.
Then you also have Forest Whitaker as Zuri; a chief elder of Wakanda, Angela Bassett as Ramonda; T'Challa's mother, Sterling K. Brown as N'Jobu; a character that I won't spoil but is excellent in the movie and was part of the reason why I was getting choked up at the end, Daniel Kaluuya (thank GOD he's being cast in more stuff after his incredible work in Get Out) as W'Kabi; the leader of another tribe in Wakanda. Each of them is great and stand out in their own way — I'd dedicate an entire paragraph to each of them, but this review is already going long.
For the first time in what honestly feels like forever, we have a Marvel movie with real emotions. We don't sacrifice our hero's journey in exchange for jokes, we're allowed to contemplate the choices that each character makes and what it means going forward. We have a Marvel movie with real stakes — I never knew what was going to happen next, and felt like any character could possibly be the next one to die. Most importantly, we have a Marvel movie that's celebrating culture. Black Panther is a movie that's going to be in the conversation for a long time. It's one that's going to mean a lot to a lot of people, and for good reason. This is a film that actually matters. Don't sit out on it — see it and become part of the conversation.

FlexiQule's Unique Ingredients!
For centuries, boswellia and ginger have been used to support healthy joint function, mobility and flexibility.
Thanks to the power of FlexiQule, your body now gets the benefits of both powerful remedies in a single supplement. Our proprietary PhytoAdvanceTM technology provides the highest level of purity and potency from ginger and boswellia, ensuring only the best for your body.
Boswellia & Ginger: A Unique Combination
With FlexiQule, you get a premium supplement that supports your joints with ginger and boswellia serrate extract. More powerful together than apart, ginger and boswellia interact with each other to provide you with natural relief for your joint pain. While boswellia benefits your body by naturally helping you maintain healthy joint function, ginger targets inflammation to reduce your body's painful response to it.
Unlike other supplements that fill your body with unwanted additives, FlexiQule supplements contain only natural, beneficial active ingredients. This supplement combines the power and safety of high quality extracts of ginger and boswellia with AlchemLife's unique PhytoAdvanceTM technology, allowing you to experience faster absorption and enhanced bioavailability.
Each of our powerfully potent capsules provides you with 150 mg of boswellia, or half your daily dosage for joint support. This level of boswellia is good for joints and helps protect and promote your natural systems and functioning.
By only relying on premium grade ginger extract, FlexiQule supplements are good for joints and ease inflammation to keep you feeling good, no matter your activity level.
What is Boswellia
Also known as Indian frankincense, boswellia serrate comes from the gummy resin of an African tree, and is a common remedy in Ayurvedic medicine. The well-studied boswellia benefits show that boswellia supplements might be just as effective against joint pain as Ibuprofen or Aspirin, and regular use leads to reduced inflammation, asthma, arthritis, and fewer overreactions from the immune system. Best of all, boswellia has fewer side effects than other medications, leaving you healthy, happy, and pain free.
Learn more about boswellia health benefits and how it effects Joints.
What is Ginger
Long valued as a zesty spice with profound medicinal potential, ginger has been used for thousands of years as an essential ingredient in traditional medicine. The fleshy root is what's valued, and ginger can be used fresh, dried or powdered as a supplement.
Today, ginger extract is used to settle upset stomachs, provide pain relief and calm you down. However, one of the biggest benefits of ginger root is its ability to manage inflammation. Gingerol, the active ingredient in ginger, has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant health benefits that keeps your body in peak shape. If you suffer from chronic joint pain or arthritis, taking ginger supplements is a simple step that has a profound effect on your quality of life.

Christmas crafts made by children are often the most cherished holiday mementoes given as gifts each year. Whether they are tree ornaments or hand-drawn pictures of special Christmas memories, every decoration is unique and can be stored away for future Christmas celebrations. To add to the sentimental value of these treasured creations include a thoughtful poem or incorporate a picture of the child before giving as a gift.
Handprint Christmas Tree
Trace one of the child's hands onto green construction paper and cut it out. Trace the handprint 22 times onto green paper and cut them out, making 23 green hands in total. Using a large piece of white paper as a background, glue five hands in a row on the bottom with the fingers pointing down. Leave enough room on the bottom of the paper for the trunk of the tree. Add another row of five hands above the first five hand row, overlapping slightly and angled in a bit. Next, add a row of four hands with fingers pointing down and then a row with four hands angled in a little. Do the same with three, two and one hand, making a triangle shaped tree. Cut out a star from yellow paper and make a trunk from brown paper. Have the child decorate the tree using glitter, ribbon and stickers.
Handprint Wreath
Trace around the hand of the child on green paper and cut the shape out. Trace this template seven more times, making eight handprints overall. Take two hands and glue the middle fingertip of one hand onto the edge of the palm of the other. Continue this pattern, making sure to angle the hands so a circular wreath shape is created. Once the wreath is dry decorate using red glitter and attach a ribbon for a finishing touch.
Thumbprint Reindeer Picture
On finger painting paper, help the child make thumbprints using brown paint. Each reindeer consists of three prints: one for the head, neck and body. Draw four legs, two antlers and a nose on each one to create the reindeer. Have the child use markers to create the rest of the Christmas scene and write a story about the picture afterwards. To make reindeer greeting cards, make single thumbprints with paint and decorate with antlers, eyes and nose.
Hand and Footprint Reindeer or Angel
An easy angel or reindeer decoration can be made by tracing each of the child's hands and one of his or her feet. For both the angel and reindeer make the handprints out of a light coloured construction paper. If making the reindeer, trace a footprint on brown construction paper and for the angel use gold or yellow paper. To make the angel, cut a picture of the child's face into a circle and glue it to the heel of the footprint. To finish the angel, attach the wings behind the picture and glue ribbon on the back for hanging. For the reindeer, add eyes and a nose to the footprint to complete the reindeer face.
Fingerprint Ornament
Preschoolers can make quick and easy Christmas ornaments by making fingerprint dots with colourful paint on the outside of glass Christmas tree balls. Let the balls dry and then hang with a ribbon. Simple and great for gift-giving!
Christmas decorations made from little finger and hand prints are great gift ideas for parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, teachers, and activity leaders. Be sure to put the child's name and the year on the decoration before giving as a gift or storing away for next year.

First of my four part series(that I hopefully will be able to complete) is about the four days we spent in Rome.
First off, the Etihad flight we took from India to Rome with a stopover in Abu Dhabi was quite bad, mainly to do with really narrow seats and the too cold in-flight temperature. Anyway having gotten that over with, upon reaching Rome airport, we saw that there is no word synonymous with 'queue' in Italian? The way to immigration desks was way too crowded, with people shoving at others, yelling and blatantly taking shortcuts to the desks.
Wondered if the rest of Italy is going to be like this…but luckily it wasn't to be 🙂
Since we arrived morning, we did not get the room right then. Our room was near Termini station and that is the best place to stay!
Leaving the luggage at the hotel, we made our way Spanish steps first, at Piazza Spagna. Piazza I suppose is the word for a square in Italian, which is generally surrounded by important places or tourist attractions. The steps were a nice way to get a first feel of the city with it overlooking many luxury brand houses with horse drawn carriages at their doors and a small fountain in the center of the square. Walking along from there, we then arrived at Trevi fountain. I had wished I would come here and toss a coin and that would bring me back to Rome again! Thats true.. when hubby went there earlier, he had tossed a coin and it took him back there. Yes, I am a believer! 🙂 Now I dont know if I can ever go back to Rome as the fountain was under renovation … making sad faces like a baby and sulking for a while, I thought, well if this is indeed true and I can never go back to Rome, I have to make the best of it now, right?
Yeah, on our way to the Pantheon, walking along narrow lanes, we had the best Pizza I have ever had in my whole entire life.. thats true.. it was a 4 euro slice that two of us couldn't finish and it was dripping with very flavourful olive oil and cheese that I have never had before. Its true.. you must try it. Walk from Trevi to Pantheon and just eat Pizza along the way.
|Castle Sant'Angelo
It was a cloudy evening and my personal guide with prior travel experience here knew that it would be best to spend this weather at castle Sant' Angelo. The bridge that leads up to the castle overlooking the river makes for a perfect evening walk. The museum however close by 5 I guess, so we missed that. But no harm, we walked over to a nearby park and ate mouth watering Gelatos, sitting on a bench and watching locals go by and shopping at a flea in the park.
Somehow we thought that forecast being at 22 degree celsius and the season being summer, we had to carry summer clothes, right? But it was spine chilling cold, it wasn't like how 22 is in India. Luckily we at least had jackets we took for flights and also we were forced to shop some there 😛
Colosseum being the most famous tourist attraction in Rome, I thought it might be a little over hyped, you know, like some are! When everyone talks about how great a movie was or how yummy some food was(I hope the pizza mentioned above lives up for you :P), it falls flat. But MAGNIFICENCE! It was huge.. you cannot see both ends in 2D of the Colosseum without moving your head unless you are viewing it from the top of Roman Forum (which you should really do because the view from there is the best). There is also an underground tour of the colosseum for which tickets were sold out, that is to see where gladiators and animals were caged before battle. This reminded me of the battle scenes in front of Khaleesi in Game of Thrones.
Roman forum which is right next to colosseum feels like taking a tour back in time. This was the epicenter of its ruling with ruins of temples, statues, fountains, residences of kings and priests. A few hours spent here made me want to study history all over again from school text books. It made me realize how much modern day development has been inspired really from the past and also that I have forgotten history.
When we studied history or anything at all, it was just for exams and getting it over with. I think being at a place and then learning about it really makes something stick in your head, feel like we would be able to understand all that a lot better now. Its about context, right? May be I would have even taken history as a major. 😦
I had seen postcard images of external walls of the colosseum and heard of how beautiful the Vatican city was. But being there in person and witnessing a celebration of art in an era gone by, gave me goosebumps. The colours used, the difficulty of painting a fresco on the arched roofs and nailing it. Wonder how they made the colours so vivid in those days!
Most of the paintings in the Vatican museum were depictions from the bible. It tells how much mythology there is and how deep the bible and Christianity is. But what really consumed me was how in many paintings there are numerous characters, often times animals, a context being set, complete with elements of nature as well, but each individual character, each leaf of a tree, each flick of a tail of an animal is beautifully painted without any photographic images serving as a reference. That is commendable! Salute the artists and their attention to detail. The paintings with fight scenes, hatred, bloodshed are also beautifully done and draw one's attention without being repulsive. The expressions of one's face is conveyed through the character's eyes, the frown, with hand movements and so on. Inspired me to come back home and read up on all that I had seen.
What I did not mention earlier was a funny thing. Vatican city being a country in itself, how would one generally go to a different country? By plane right? Fine, given that its the smallest country, may be a short bus ride? No! Its a very short walk from castle Sant Angelo. One second you are in Rome and you cross a road, not a highway kind of a road, just a regular road, and you are in Vatican. I was thrilled like a baby in a candy store.. may be my ignorance! But well, that was the plan, to not do any research as that was taken care of by my personal guide and I wanted to be thrilled and surprised by everything I saw.
Piazza Navona is another place worth totally spending an entire evening in. It is a huge public place with fountains and benches with buildings around and evenings come alive with street performers and artists putting up paintings for sale and there is music and the like. Just be in the moment and walk around and take pictures.
You know how in Woody Allen movies, people are in a European street having random conversations for which there is no subtitles sometimes and there is a cello or violin playing in the background and they keep eating.. well Rome is just like that. Just keep walking and please get lost in its alleyways, cause its when you get lost is when you discover charming streets and fountains.
And go to Cavour. Get off the metro in Cavour, just keep walking and you will find a church, a random street where people are buying beer and drinking and there are restaurants and vintage shops. Well, I can totally still feel it, had a very easy vibe.
And go to Trastevere and have a dinner, be a romantic, listen to music, admire the silence, smile and
Thank me later 🙂
Rome was my introduction to Europe, It was love at first sight for me and each experience made my love grow deeper.There are these tiny streets which make for perfect photo shoot locations, it is a historical city with small town feel and at the same time feels very modern. It has as much of a local easy vibe as it does touristy. It swept me off my feet.. I hope it does you as good as it it did to me.
Please leave your comments below about what you liked about the place, about my post, about anything at all… 🙂
Here are some of my tips for you: Thanks to offline maps, we could do a lot. We used Here maps and Ulmon.
Termini has a bus stop too, you could use buses to travel within the city as thats the easiest than finding a train station everywhere.
As I said before, walk, your map will guide you back if you get lost.

Did Not Meet Treatment Requirements
Our water system recently experienced a violation of a drinking water standard. The event did not create an emergency, but Pueblo West Metropolitan District wants to ensure that our customers know what happened and what Pueblo West Utilities did to correct the situation.
We routinely monitor your water for turbidity (cloudiness). This tells us whether we are effectively filtering the water supply. Normal turbidity levels at our plant are 0.1 turbidity units. Water samples show that 13 samples from August 16 at 1:00 PM until August 26 at 10:15 PM the turbidity measurements were between 1.0 – 2.49 turbidity units. The maximum allowed for a single measurement is 1 turbidity unit.
What does this mean? What should I do?
- You do not need to boil your water or take other actions. We do not know of any contamination, and none of our testing has shown disease-causing organisms in the drinking water.
- People with severely compromised immune systems, infants, and some elderly may be at increased risk. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers.
- This situation is not an emergency. If it had been, you would have been notified immediately. Turbidity has no health effects. However, turbidity can interfere with disinfection and provide a medium for microbial growth. Turbidity may indicate the presence of disease causing organisms. These organisms include bacteria, viruses, and parasites which can cause symptoms such as nausea, cramps, diarrhea, and associated headaches. These symptoms are not caused only by organisms in drinking water. If you experience any of these symptoms and they persist, you may want to seek medical advice.
What happened? What was done?
The turbidity immediately after each filter during the incident was measured at about 0.1 units, well below the 1 unit limit. This tells us that there was nothing wrong with our filtration. The high turbidity was measured in a tank after the filters. The high turbidity measurements may have been caused by metals in the water reacting with the chlorine (such as manganese oxidation). We continuously monitored our disinfection treatment during the event. We took extra samples for metals and all results were below health limits. In addition to our testing efforts, the Pueblo Board of Water Works provided independent testing to help identify the issue. Throughout the event, Pueblo West Utilities remained in constant conversation with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to ensure additional oversight of the situation. You may notice a slight color change in your water as we make changes to our treatment processes to address this issue. We are continuing our investigating of the cause of the incident, including extra sampling and making improvements to prevent a recurrence in the future.
We have made treatment adjustments that have solved the turbidity issue. If you have any questions about our treatment or sample results or for more information, please contact Scott Eilert 719-547-5044 or email@example.com. If you have a water or sewer emergency call 719-547-3554 any time day or night.
Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail.
This notice is being sent to you by Pueblo West Metropolitan District
Colorado Public Water System ID #: CO0151650 Date distributed: September 8, 2016

The following documentary is the most important film you could possibly watch. It's massive implications reach across the globe and cannot be denied. It will change the way you view the monetary system, the economy and the future of this world. Its claims almost sound like conspiracy, but the evidence it intelligently builds upon rules out any chance of that.
And do not be deterred by the 2:45 duration. If something is this important, would you really want it to be able to be squeezed into 10 minutes? Let's cast away our modern 30-second attentions just this once because this is THAT important.
Without further ado, here is Zeitgeist: Moving Forward.
After watching this, I ask you three questions:
1) Do you have any doubt with what this film presents as being inevitable?
2) Do you think their solution is a plausible? That is, do you think the world will figure things out in time to implement it?
3) What do you think is the first step in solving this problem?
I'm closing down comments on this post and moving all discussion to an actual discussion.

David Leavens
Reader in Comparative Psychology (Psychology)
E: email@example.com
I'm a biopsychologist with primary interests in nonverbal communication by apes and humans and behavioural indices of anxiety. I have primarily studied visual and vocal communication in apes (since 1994) and humans (since 2000), with a special emphasis on joint attention, or the negotiation of shared attentional focus. This ability to follow into another's attentional focus, or to re-direct the attention of another, takes months to develop in our own species, and I have been exploring the socio-ecological influences on joint attention in apes and humans. This work on non-verbal reference has led my colleagues and I to posit a Referential Problem Space, in which pointing and other mechanisms for joint attention emerge when organisms capable of means-ends reasoning are reliant upon others to act on the world for them--a situation that characterises both human infants and captive apes.
Much of my research into chimpanzee communication stems from a disturbing realisation, in 1994, that I had been trained to a high standard of performance by a chimpanzee named Clint.
Most of my publications are available at: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/David_Leavens
Past and current research topics include:
1. How chimpanzees manipulate the attention of their social partners, with Prof. William D. Hopkins, Ms. Jamie L Russell, and Dr. Jared P. Taglialatela, Yerkes National Primate Research Center, Prof. Kim A. Bard, University of Portsmouth, and Prof. Richard Byrne and Dr. Cat Hobaiter, University of St Andrews.

2. The ecological determinants of pointing: Pointing, as a phenotype, has virtually nil heritability among great apes, suggesting (a) that pointing is an ontogenetic adaptation to particular ecological constraints and (b) that perhaps pointing also develops in humans because of universal environmental constraints on free movement.

3. Principles of comparative cognition: The contemporary literature is filled with poorly substantiated claims for human uniqueness in social cognition, and much of my recent effort is directed towards correcting the empirical record, with a wide circle of collaborators, including Prof. William D.

Frankie Essex looks sensational as she admits she is 'back to her best' after shrinking to a size 8 and losing 3 stone
The former Towie star has turned her back on boozy nights out and now she's hooked on the gym
WITH her svelte size eight frame, Frankie Essex is almost unrecognisable after losing an incredible three stone.
The reality star has spent the last seven months overhauling her unhealthy lifestyle – swapping booze fuelled nights out with her mates for long hours in her local gym.
Frankie says her newfound confidence has changed her for the better
Frankie's been labelled as a notorious yo-yo dieter, dropping over 2st in two months back in 2014 before piling the pounds back on again.
But in our exclusive new pictures, Frankie reveals her incredible new body for the first time.
Speaking to The Sun Online, Frankie insists this change is forever and admits she's back to feeling her best again.
Frankie says: "My life has changed for the better – I'm more confident and I feel sexy again.
"I've lost almost three stone and now I weigh 10st 2lbs.
"Before I felt like a monster, I couldn't bear to even look at myself in the mirror.
"I want to inspire other women and show them they can find their confidence too.
"I was in such a bad place and I've changed that now, I want to show them they can do it like I can."
Last year, Frankie – who starred on Towie from 2010 to 2013 – fell into a deep depression and admitted she even contemplated taking her own life.
She explains: "I didn't want to be here last year, I thought, 'this is shit'.
"I understand how people get depressed and why they take their lives because they feel lonely.
"I had a boyfriend who wasn't taking care of me, I was taking care of him.
"My family didn't like him and it was really stressful. It felt like a really crap situation I couldn't get out of.

"Then one day I woke up and thought, I can be sad like this anymore, I have to change.
"I left my boyfriend and went through Christmas with my family just building myself up, then I joined a gym and I started to make changes."
Frankie's body overhaul began in March, after deciding she wanted to finally get in shape.
Now, she's hooked and works out every day for at least an hour.
Speaking about her routine, she says: "I warm up by stretching because it helps keep your muscles lean
"I go on the running machine for 20 minutes then I'll onto the steps machine for half an hour to an hour sometimes.
"Some days in the gym I will only do cardio but I make sure I mix it up and do weights too – it's a little bit of everything.
"On Instagram, there are so many workouts you can screenshot and do at the gym. I'm trying to find things on there I enjoy and taking it with me to my workouts.
"If I don't have time for the gym I try and fit in a short swim because that's so good for you.
"I'll do ten lengths, have a breather, and then I'll do another ten. It works out all your body and it's brilliant.
"Whatever I do at the gym, I always walk out smiling and I feel so happy."
Frankie has also changed up her diet, ditching calorie laden booze and junk food for balanced meals.
Frankie explains: "I try and eat everything gluten free because it's less calories
"My favourite thing for breakfast is poached eggs and smoked salmon or I'll have porridge with coconut milk.
"I've tried to cut out sugar and instead use Fruit Syrup, which you can get from Holland and Barrett, if I need a sweet kick.
"Lunch is sushi if I'm out or if I'm at home I'll have salads or I make a lot of fresh soups.
"I try and mix it up and eat what I fancy but for dinner, I always try and have a protein like chicken. I love courgetti – it's so good for you – so I'll have that with pesto and chicken."
The motivation for Frankie has been watching her body transform from a size 16 to a healthy size eight.
Her cousin Chloe Sims has also been a huge support for Frankie.
She says: "When I looked at the scales I thought, 'Oh my god! I don't believe it! This isn't normal!'"
"I can fit in Chloe's clothes, it's so good because she's got so many clothes. I'm like, 'sharing's caring'.
"Chloe gives me things to do, things that make me happy – she's been brilliant."
Along with her body overhaul, Frankie's switched up things in her life and now has a more positive
She admits: "I feel like I lost myself, I didn't feel like I had a purpose.
"When I was with my ex, I kind of hid away and I wasn't allowed to do much, I disappeared for a while.
"Now I'm feeling back to my best and am ready to start again – there's a lot of exciting things coming up."

Deighton, Reginald A
Reggie was a first class athlete, being the College sprint champion, winner of the Clayton Run in 1930 and fly-half in the successful 1929 1st XV.
On leaving Hurst, Reggie went to Plumpton Agricultural College and qualified in 1934. At that time farming was suffering from the depression, so he moved to London and took a job at Oxford House in Bethnal Green, a Church Trust looking after deprived boys from the East End. In 1937 he moved to Dr. Barnardo's, forming a life-long friendship with one of his boys, the late Alfie Bass.
In the Second World War he was rejected by the Royal Navy, but joined the London Fire Service to serve throughout the blitz in London and other large cities.
In 1942 Reggie married Joan, also in the Fire Service, and when he was demobilised he joined his father-in-law at Manganese Iron Ore in the City. He restarted his work with the young, being closely involved with the Confederated London Boys' Clubs, until his Company, now Dupre Vermiculite, moved to Hertford. There he became an important member of the League of Friends of Barnet Hospital.
On retirement he widened his charity work, spending all of his time with the hospital, the local church or the Marie Foster Home for Multiple Sclerosis victims.
He is survived by his wife, Joan, and his two children – one, Alec, also an OJ.

Winter storm warning in effect until 6 p.m. tonight; avalanche danger is high throughout Summit County
The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning in effect until 6 p.m. this evening, with an additional 4–8 inches expected during the day.
Snow will be heavy at times, with snowfall rates of 1 to 2 inches an hour possible, according to the warning. Strong winds up to 50 mph will create low visibility in blowing snow. Travel today will be impacted, especially over mountain passes.
Snow, heavy at times combined with gusty winds will continue in the north central mountains today. Travel conditions will be difficult through this evening. For the latest road report from CDOT, call 511 or go to their website at https://t.co/uoUwxQXFoP #cowx pic.twitter.com/lss8I2jZ0N
— NWS Boulder (@NWSBoulder) February 15, 2018
Additionally, the Colorado Avalanche Information Center has broadcast an avalanche warning in effect for portions of the northern mountains of Colorado, including the Front Range mountains, all of Summit County and areas around Vail.
Avalanche danger is high, at a level 4 of 5 near and above tree line. Snowfall and strong westerly winds on Thursday will overload the weak snowpack and result in large natural avalanches in many areas. Backcountry travel is not recommended.
HIGH (4of5) Very dangerous avy conditions exist. Deep Persistent avy problem means avys are hard to predict, can break in surprising ways, can be triggered from below, will run to the ground, will kill you. Travel in avalanche terrain not recommended https://t.co/TfP7PWuk2j
— CAIC Vail and Summit (@CAICsummit) February 15, 2018
OpenSnow.com meteorologist Joel Gratz said in his morning report that most of this weekend will be dry, and the next storm should bring snow to most mountains between Sunday night and Tuesday morning.
"And this active pattern will likely continue through at least the end of February," Gratz writes.

In June 2018, I relooked at the eLearning Trends for 2018 that I had created in January 2018. In this article, I share my insights on the trends, viewing them through a different lens that you too can use as you plan for the balance part of the year.
During my review of eLearning Trends for 2018, I relooked at the trends by validating their adoption from the following perspectives:
During this review, I used the following 4 parameters and then mapped my initial eLearning Trends and Predictions for 2018 to each of them.
Part 1-What will continue to offer value
Part 2-Coming of age—Increase in adoption
Part 3-Maturing and emerging—Watch out for
The following 5 eLearning trends map to this, and I have added some reasons why you should adopt them.
These are also reflected in the wider adoption of approaches that resonate better with learners leading to a wider adoption of the following two trends:
The following 4 eLearning trends map to this, and I have added some reasons why you should adopt them.
The following 2 eLearning trends map to this, and I have added some reasons why you should adopt them.
I hope this mid-year review of eLearning Trends in 2018 will help you as you look at tweaking or enhancing your learning strategies in the balance part of the year.
If you have any queries or need any specific support, do contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
