Granada is the capital of the province of the same name. It is situated at the foot of Sierra Nevada, the highest mountain in the Iberian Peninsula. Located in Andalusia, southern Spain, has one of the biggest cultural heritages in this country. In addition to the world famous Alhambra and the Albaicin neighborhood, both designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, Granada has a Renaissance cathedral and many other monuments dot the city in each of its corners.
Cathedral: is the perfect starting point for a walk through the heart of Granada. In 1501 the Catholic Monarchs ordered its construction as a symbol of Christianity. Mixture of styles, it was designed as Gothic, built in Renaissance and the facade is baroque. Opening hours: Mon-Sat 10.45-13.30 & 16.00-20.00, Sundays 16.00-20.00.
Capilla Real: few months before her death in 1504, Queen Isabel I signed with King Fernando the order to build his mausoleum in Granada, in a chapel adjoining the Cathedral. Opening hours: Autumn-Winter: Mon-Sat 10.15-13.30 & 15.30-18.30. 11.00-13.30 & 15.30-18.30 Sundays. Spring-Summer: Mon-Sat 10.15-13.30 & 16.00-19.30. Sundays 11.00-1:30 p.m. & 16.00-19.30. Entrance fee: 4.00 €. Official site: www.capillarealgranada.com
City Centre: Alcaicería Street (a street that for centuries was the silk market and today maintains its artisan souk character and charm of the streets), Elvira Street (long path of bars, taverns and wineries very frequented at any time), Carrera del Darro (promenade flanked on both sides of river Darro by palaces, churches, convents and charming hotels), Paseo de los Tristes (offers a wonderful view of the Alhambra, beautifully illuminated at night, outdoor dining becomes an unforgettable experience).
Albaicin: one of the oldest neighborhoods in Europe. Walking through the Albaicin is the best way to get to know it. Much of the Albaicin character lies in the typical construction in the neighborhood, houses with orchard and garden called "Carmens". Recommended is the Plaza de San Miguel Bajo, charming to rest and regain strength in one of its many restaurants. One of the most popular viewpoints is that of St. Nicholas with the Alhambra across the roofs of the neighborhood to his feet and the city in the background.
Sacromonte: walking from the Albaicin to the Sacromonte you can see the homes that already admired the visitors two centuries ago: the cave houses, where gypsies settled in the eighteenth century, whitewashed inside and outside, and with chimneys to vent. The Sacromonte is the center of Granada flamenco: every night shows are organized, and at any time you can enjoy exhibitions in bars and terraces.

iMessage, as its name, justifies that this is a service of Apple and this is related to messaging. Firstly, I'll tell you more about iMessage after that we will move on our main topic.
Table of Contents
What is iMessage?
iMessage is an instant messaging service which is by default present in your iPhone, iPad or Mac device. By using iMessage you will be able to send the text messages along with text message, it lets you transfer pictures, video, sound, and location quickly easily to another user of iMessage on iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple Watch
As the iOS 10 launched, Apple added some many other awesome features in iMessage i.e. Handwriting, Digital Touch, full involvement of emoji with emoji tapback, screen effects, bubble and many more.
I hope, now you will become familiar with iMessage, so now we start our main topic i.e. How to get iMessage on PC?
Well, as I told you above that this service is available built-in iPhone, iPad or Mac device, but what about other users like PC users. Are they be able to use this service? Yes, they will be able to use this service. Let's find out how they can use this service.
In this article, I'll be telling three methods which let you use iMessage on your PC. So, sit back relax and keep on reading and scrolling down.
Methods of Using iMessage on PC:
Access iMessage by Remote:
This is the most recommended method of using iMessage on PC. Because this is the simple and valid method. Using Chrome Remote Desktop extension is the easiest approach to get iMessage for Windows, but you will need to get a Mac. Install the exact same on your Mac, once it's downloaded on your computer. There are lots of folks who use Windows PC and are intrigued to utilize iMessage. The imessage on pc is an immediate messaging application available for free and constitutes a good deal of the majority of unique and advanced features out there in various ways.
There are different ways too. One of the greatest ways to utilize iMessage on Windows PC is with a Chrome extension named Chrome Remote Desktop. Go ahead, you're going to have a truly fantastic time with iMessage on Windows PC. Well, it may not be the simplest task on the planet, but don't worry, that's the reason why we are here.
Requirements: Mac device with iMessage, window PC, internet connection. chrome remote desktop.
- You must have the chrome browser on both mac device and pc if you haven't downloaded, then go and first download chrome on both the devices.
- After successful installation of chrome, download another thing i.e. chrome remote desktop on both the devices. On PC, it will be downloaded as an extension and this extension will be available on webstore.
- And on your Mac device launch this app.
- Firstly, we will discuss steps to set up this on Mac device.
- When you successfully launch chrome remote desktop on your Mac, then you will see two option. First, one is Remote Assistance and second on is My Computers. In My Computers option, click on Get Started.
- Click on Enable which launch the Host Installer page.
- Click on Accept and Install option.
- After successfully downloading, a file will be downloaded, click on the file and a launch package will be shown to you named as Chrome Remote Desktop Host.pkg
- Double click on the .phg.
- Installation of Chrome Remote Desktop Host.pkg starts and after few clicks, it's successfully installed.
- Move little bit above, on step 4's 1 point, here I'll tell you about two option, now click on first option i.e. Remote Assistance.
- Click Enable remote connections and set 6-digits pin code which you will be required when you get connected to another device. By setting this pin, the installation part of Mac is completed.
- On start with the PC, open that extension which you downloaded and in the My Computers section click on Get Started and click on Mac computer.
- Enter the 6-digit pin that you set on your Mac device and click on Connect.
- That's it. Great you have done it. Now you will able to use iMessage on your PC.
Get iMessage on PC using iOS emulator: iPadian
As we all well aware of the powers of new processor and os, so that you can also run another's os on your system and this will be possible by using an emulator. For installing an iOS app you will want to first install the iPadian app on your computer. That's why to use iMessage on PC you can also use this method. Workaround for the majority of the things are created, and in the event, the workaround is created then it is easy to make out on how much is the demand for the service. Then you have to run the emulator. There are a number of iOS emulators on the internet, but iPadian is trusted and found reliable for the time being. For example, there are quite a few Android emulators which let you run a Virtual Machine of Android on your computer.
Steps to Install iMessage on PC:
- Download the iPadian Emulator.
- It's extension file downloads on your system, install that extension.
- Launch iPadian emulator.
- Starts its installation by accepting its terms and condition.
- Open this software and search iMessage and download this iMessage app.
- That's it. Done.
Accessing History of iMessage on PC:
This method will let you transfer all your messages along with text, images, photos, videos and audio in conversations from iPhone to computer.
For using this method what you have to do is you have to use a third-party tool named as iMyFone D-Port iPhone Data Exporter. This will do the rest of task. This tool will not only do the transformation from the iPhone, but you can also transfer from Whatsapp, Kik, notes, voice memo and more.
So, if you want to see your chat history you can use this method and very easily you can check your history of iMessage app on your Apple device.
Priorities of these methods:
Chrome Remote Desktop method is totally secure and safe, legal also. When you use this method you don't have to worry about anything. Using Chrome Remote Desktop will supply you with a secure connection without risks of losing personal info. So, try to use this method as compare to other method.
iPadian Emulator – If you are able to use the chrome remote desktop, then avoid this method. Don't think that this is illegal but, there is a chance of malware added to your system. So, I'll recommend less this method.
Avoid this method:
Jailbreaking, by applying this method, the chance of malware and other susceptible things become high. It also drops effect on your device's performance. You will be lost your device's warranty. If you don't enjoy the aforementioned ways, then you can attempt jailbreaking your device. Furthermore, your Jailbroken device is more inclined to be affected by malware, battery life problems, and other issues.
After that, if you are want to jailbreak your device, then remember this thing that While jailbreaking your device, you should make sure that the method you use to find root access is not going to violate Apple product warranty.
Jailbreaking a unit is a complicated and a risky practice. As a result, if your device is still under warranty, you might want to judge how much it's well worth it to you. If you don't enjoy the aforementioned ways, then you can attempt jailbreaking your device. If your device isn't under warranty anymore you truly don't have a thing to lose by jailbreaking the gadget. Once your Apple device is configured and the server is ready to go, you're going to be in a position to use the service on your computer. In the start, you want to jailbreak your Apple device by installing the software named Cydia. But as I said above avoid this method as get possible.
That's all in this article. I'll describe the method which you can use to access iMessage on your PC and also describe what you have to do or not. You can also use another messaging app if these methods will not work on your system. Because there may be the reason for different platforms. But, I am sure that you will get your desired results using these methods specified above. Tell us in comment section.

BCOM = Boring!!
By Isabelle Abraham
It's Wednesday morning and all I want to do is sleep. So why on earth am I headed towards the Macro Economics class? This is definitely the last place I want to be, considering that I am a Journ student, and have a shockingly low aptitude when it comes to anything maths-related. I told my dear BCOM friend that I'd sit in with her during her lecture, and already I'm regretting it.
Liza greets me outside the class and we walk inside, she strolling and me trudging- delaying the entry. As soon as I enter, my eyes pop. The lecture theatre is big enough to house 410 students, and more than half of them are already seated, which is a WAY better turnout than I can say for Journ. As we start ascending the stairs, I start to feel really self-conscious and I hiss to Liza, "Everyone's staring at me!" She tries to assure me that it's just my paranoia acting up, but when I see foreheads crinkle in confusion and eyes narrow in suspicion, I can't help but cringe. They know I don't belong here.
I start blushing and a ridiculously nervous grin sits on my face. Just as we are about to sit down, my traitorous feet decide to stumble, but before anything potentially mortifying can happen, my bottom finds the chair. Wow, all that fuss and the lecture hasn't even started yet.
Then the lecturers walk in- the class has begun. As soon as the woman with the lemon-sucking expression says "all things money", I know I'm in trouble. Soon, words such as "reserve ratio", "transmission mechanism" and "ripple effects" start spewing out of her mouth like vomit. This is when I switch off. No way am I listening to that nonsense.
My friend, equally bored, points out all the hot guys who are seated below us. Yes!! We found the optimal view, where we can stare down at all the weird and wonderful people. My journalistic eyes immediately notice the fact that students are socially grouped in class- just like high school. The jocks sit to the left, the brains on the right, and little sets of Barbies are scattered all around. The weirdoes are here too- such as the one down there who yanks at his hair and scrapes his teeth against his file.
I point all this out to Liza and we're about to giggle when a nosy eavesdropper right below me turns and stares at us. Oops! I'm going have to learn how to be more discreet. I roll my eyes in classic teenager fashion and hey! The lesson is almost over. As we leave the room, I start reflecting. Things gained from this experience: nothing but a page full of my brilliant pencil doodles. Things learned: that B.A. lectures are not as boring as I thought they were.

From Blond to Blonder
Over the course of the past month the expression blond ambition has taken on an entirely new meaning to me – it has literally become synonymous with my burning desire to have hair that is blonder than blond. As it turns out though, acquiring that distinctive peroxide blond look requires as much dedication and determination as any other ambition.

"I want to go home...NOW!"
by Lunga Khuzwayo
"What have I gotten myself into? Turn back now Lunga, while you still have a chance", slowly I creep up the stairs as the loud music vibrates beneath my pumps, screams, squeals and alcohol spills…this was so not my scene. I wanted to dash back to res and cuddle with my books but outside in this wilderness, I stuck out like a sore thumb. This social experiment required me to go to the Steve Biko building (previously known as the Union) for the first time. I lived a good nine months without setting foot in that place; I had not missed out on much. "Student card please", says the bouncer, I whip out my card and went into the sea of white. A black dot on a white page or a white dot on a black page, either or, the minority race always seems out of place in these social scenes.
I felt insecure which bothered me: I eat alone, walk alone, and go to lectures alone and sit alone yet going out alone, this was the first. This was no longer a matter of a racial experience but an issue of going partying ON A WEDNESDAY NIGHT alone and trying to make at least one friend, "One friend? I have more than enough friends", I tried to convince myself.
I prayed that whoever I came across would be so drunk that I would be a distant memory in the morning. One hour was far too long, I gave myself 30 minutes maximum. Luckily I bumped into an old friend, had a brief sober chat and *click click* we smiled for the camera. She introduced me to a few friends that I would probably never see again. This was my queue to leave, the long cold walk back to res was not worth the trouble and I guess I prefer to play it safe in life.

Taking Note
Everyday 80 000 new blogs are created. Blogs about fashion, politics, spinach and a whole array of other topics. On the 27th of September this year, Please Note The Following was one of the 80 000 blogs created that day, but it's mission was slighty different to that of most other blogs. Its creators wanted to give readers a behind the scenes glimpse into the world of student journalism by establighing a fresh and funky yet slightly serious blogging forum.
The blog layout is very minimalistic. The blue, teal and white colouring is reminiscent of an insurance company waiting room which certainly does not add a young and exciting edge to the blog. It also has a notable lack of gadgets. For a blog dealing with journalism as its subject matter, it would have been helpful for the creators to allow for RSS feeds from various news and journalism sites.
As far as content is concerned the blog does succeed in living up to its initial purpose. The content manages to strike a good balance between the serious and the off-the-wall which helps to attract readers whilst still making them aware of significant information. Seeing as the content is produced by four different individuals, the blog lacks a sense of coherence and there is a variety of distinctly different writing styles.
Although the blog does add to the discussion around journalism, it does not strike me as being a crucial element of the debate. The blog creators would have to improve on their presentation of the blog and they would have to develop an authentic journalistic stance in order for readers to take note of what they have to say.

Blogging Scandalously
By Isabelle Abraham
The blog is created by Thobile Memela, Nicholas Rocke, Jessica Lewer, Aimee Caufield and Sifiso Sikhakhane, and is aimed at journalism students. The blog posts range significantly in writing style and topic and each entry highlights an individual issue. Many of the posts include visuals which capture the reader's attention very quickly and are clever aids to the entries.
The quality of the writing itself is of a general high standard and it is particularly interesting to note the difference between the writers' styles. "Stormy Weather", for example, had a very creative feel to it as the writer narrated it in a classic story-telling form, making it atmospheric. Another piece, "Dramatic Arts; a Home for Homosexuals" is a finely-wrought opinion piece; it candidly speaks about the stereotypes associated with the Rhodes Drama Department and cleverly exposes this issue.
The colour of the writing makes it clear to read but the white-on-black eventually strains the eye, making it uncomfortable to read. All in all, this student blog is one definitely worth visiting.

What's your number? What's YOUR colour?
The JMS1 class of 2009 have very strong viewpoints and aren't afraid to put out there in the most flamboyant ways. Paging through the book of blogs by the JMS1 class of 2009 has been a treat for my eyes, and snack for my intellect.
While looking through a number of blogs one in particular caught my eye: The number 42 is purple. A warm, soft green background, and very interesting header-pic intrigued me to scroll down to investigate.
This blog is one of 62 blog-groups by the JMS1 students from Rhodes University. These first years were asked to blog on a number of subject matter. They blogged opinion pieces, commentary pieces and even self reflective pieces about who they are as bloggers. This was an opportunity to show their different styles of writing. It was also an opportunity to show off their cyber knowledge and aesthetics prowess.
This group's use of aesthetics is very appealing. Their background was warm, inviting and easy on the eye. I enjoyed the prominence of pictures. It is also good to see that they have progressed from articles without pictures, to having a picture accompany every article now.
Their use of language was very effective as they did not speak down to any readers but approached the reader on the same plane.
All in all it is truly a blog worth the read. You can get delicious succinct articles that are a lovely snack to read and a feast for the eyes with their lovely pictures.

Cadmium is one of the most toxic heavy metals. An increase in its contents in environment leads to a decrease in growth speed, alteration in intensity and direction of many metabolic processes in cells [2]. It is known that photosynthetic apparatus is one of the most vulnerable to the impact of heavy metals. Here a number and correlation of different pigment groups has a great significance for its work [3]. Therefore, the objective of this work was studying dynamics of contents of main groups of photosynthetic elements of winter triticale ×Triticosecale under its growing in an environment that contains Cd.
Methods and materials of the research
Sprouts of winter triticale of the kind «Don» (×Triticosecale Wittm. & A. Camus) served as objects of the research. Seeds were preliminary sterilized in 2,5% solution of KMnO4, and after this grown in filter paper with presence of 1/10 environment of Knop with microelements of Hogland. Ten-days sprouts were transferred to vegetation vessels and grown in aerated water culture with full nutrition environment under 12-hour light period, air temperature of 23 ± 1/15 ± 1 °С (day/night), relative humidity of 55/75% (day/night) and lightness of 35 Vt/m2. When a sprout reached the stage of bushing out, it was transferred to a nutrition solution that contained 0,04 mМ Cd(NO3)2. Sprouts after 12, 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours of exposition Cd-containing environment were studied separately. A definition of contents of photosynthetic elements was carried out in ethanol extracts under 470, 649, and 665 nm with a spectrophotometer SF-26 (Russia), formulas of H.K. Lichtentaller и A.R. Welburn were used for calculations [5]. Chlorophylls´ part in light-accumulating complexes (LAC) was calculated via method of H.K. Lichtentaller (1987) with allowance that almost all chlorophyll b is located in LAC, and correlation between chlorophylls a and b in this complex equals 1,2/1,0 [4].
Results of research and their discussion
The study has shown that growing triticale in presence of 0,04 mМ Cd2+ led to a decrease in number of main photosynthetic pigments. During the first 12 hours of incubation under Cd-containing environment amounts of chlorophyll a and carotenoids decreased of 17%, and after that increased, reaching a control value (0,610 ± 0,048 mg/g of wet mass (for chlorophyll a) and 0,227 ± 0,028 mg/g of wet mass (for carotenoids)) by 24 hours (Figure). At the same time, amounts of chlorophyll b remained stable up to 24 hours.
During the next day (up to 48 hours), contents of chlorophyll a, b and carotenoids decreased of 42, 37, and 40% correspondingly. After this some stabilization in pigment levels for 72 hours was observed, it preceded further decrease in their numbers by the end of experiment. By 96 hours the part of chlorophyll a, b and carotenoids to the control equaled about 28% (Figure).
Dynamics of decrease in chlorophyll a, b (a) and carotenoids (b) in sprouts of triticale that was grown in Cd-containing environment
Nowadays it is well-known that molecules of pigments are not equal according to their functional characteristics: some of them are included into reaction centers of photosystems, others only take the light-accumulating function [1], therefore, a correlation between different photosynthetic pigments is crucial for maintaining a normal level of photosynthesis and related energetic processes. The research has shown that during the whole experiment a correlation between chlorophylls´ forms (a and b) remained stable of 2,8-3,1 (Table).

58 ± 7

57 ± 10

55 ± 6
It is known that chlorophyll a is included into reaction centers and periphery antenna complexes of photosystem I (PS I) and photosystem II (PS II), while chlorophyll b is, mainly, a component of LAC of PS II [6].
A preservation of constant values in correlation between chlorophylls a and b testifies that, regardless of a decrease trend in photosynthetic pigments that is observed within plants that were grown in Cd-containing environment, a correlation between complexes of reaction centers of PS and LAC stays unaltered. Preservation of relatively constant value of chlorophyll part in LAC also proves for the lack of disbalance in work of photosynthetic apparatus (table).
The research has shown that while growing plants of triticale in environment that contains 0,04 mМ Cd2+, a decrease in quantitative contents of main photosynthetic pigment groups (chlorophylls and carotenoids). However, as their correlation stayed the same, we can conclude, that general decrease in pigment levels, obviously, reflected not only character of damage of photosynthesis apparatus under the impact of Cd, but its transfer into new physiological level of functioning that allows it to work relatively slably, but, probably, with lower efficiency.

Have you always wanted to give up smoking, but have found it too difficult?
Don't worry. There's support and encouragement out there.
No Smoking Day, a campaign led by the British Heart Foundation, is on 11th March 2015. It's there to help you quit for good.
Did you know, one cigarette contains…
- around 4,000 toxic chemicals
- nicotine, which is addictive
- carbon monoxide, which is a poisonous gas with no smell. Every time a person inhales smoke from a cigarette, 15% of blood in the body carries carbon monoxide instead of oxygen. It makes the heart work harder, which could lead to coronary heart disease and circulation problems.
- tar. Tar is a mixture of chemicals. About 70% of the tar is sticky and remains in your lungs after smoking. It can lead to serious lung conditions.
In addition, smoking affects your body in many different ways. It can damage your head, brain, mouth and throat, skin, bones, stomach, reproduction system and fertility. If you are pregnant and continue smoking, it can harm your baby.
When you smoke, it can affect people around you. It can affect your family and children. This is known as passive smoking. Children who have parents that smoke can develop bronchitis, pneumonia, and asthma. Their risk of sudden infant death syndrome (cot death) is higher. Children who have grown up being exposed to smoking are more likely to smoke themselves.
Protect children from second-hand smoke:
- Don't smoke or allow other people smoke around your children.
- Teach your children about the health risks linked to smoking.
- Make your home and car smoke-free. From October 2015, it will be illegal to smoke in a car with children in it.
When you give up smoking, your health benefits will start almost immediately, no matter what your age or how long you've been smoking. If you give up under the age of 35, your life expectancy will be as long as a non-smoker. If you give up between the ages of 65 and 74, you will have a better life expectancy beyond 75 compared to those who continue to smoke.
Help to Quit
If you give up smoking, your health will improve, your children's health will also improve and you will save money.
Giving up smoking might be difficult but it is worthwhile. Make use of free support. Choose what is right for you and you will have a great chance of quitting for good.
Live in England? Sign up for free proven support from NHS Smokefree – The One Day Quit Tool. Developed by experts, it offers practical and tailored support to help stop smoking.
Join the No Smoking Day forum. Share your experience with others on the same journey as you.
How to Quit?
There are different ways you can try…
1. Stop smoking services – These services are available throughout the UK. They provide free help to anyone who wants to give up smoking. These services include group or one-to-one support.
2. Nicotine replacement therapy – Also known as NRT, they can help you quit. There are different types of NRT and they include patches, gums, inhalators, nasal sprays, microtabs and lozenges. Your GP, local stop smoking service or pharmacist can give you advice.
3. Prescription drugs – Your GP may offer prescription drugs to help you quit in a safe and effective way.
Deaf Access
'No Smoking Day' does not have information or support in BSL, but this is something we have approached them about, so fingers crossed for Deaf access soon.

This work aims to consider how, in the compositional image, there is an uncertainty of what the viewer is looking at until a figure comes into the shot. I began to question if the viewer will crave this encounter? The repetition of the piece, the close-up shots and the long shots of the action are fundamentally different which questions the way in which composition and movement change the work from the previous static idea of Daylight Saving Time.
In reflection I thought about the gap between my intention and the image and the significance/insignificance of action. The walking became a manner in which to investigate how time is linked with movement, and the concept of my own body in movement. Ultimately the work made me question if I am capturing an action in technological form? The work was then projected to a small scale which further attempted to intrigue the viewer.

Have you tried chia pudding? If not you might be missing out on a health superfood and a fabulous delicious breakfast.
I went through a phase of hating pudding to loving it. Honestly, I rather prefer chia pudding due to the healthy benefits.
If you have ever tried chia pudding at cafes, restaurants and/or made a few recipes at home that you found on the internet you might find them a bit runny. I mean pudding isn't suppose to be soup right?! I rather order a soup if I want something runny. Chia pudding should be still. When you scoop it with a spoon it is suppose to be thick and still. You shouldn't have to drink out of a straw nor the topping shouldn't sink in either.
How not to make a runny chia pudding. Here's my trick.
This recipe is super easy to make and only takes 10 minutes to prepare. Place it into the fridge overnight and you got yourself a protein dense pudding. Thick and creamy texture and consistency that is like a dream. How?
The key ingredient is full fat coconut milk (ingredients should only be full fat coconut milk + water, nothing else)
- A 4:1 ratio of liquid to chia seeds. So 1 cup liquid to 1/4 cup chia seeds, which is a tiny bit higher than most.
- A mix of canned coconut milk and almond milk (or any milk in a carton). Coconut milk solidifies when chilled, so a mix of both makes it thick but not too thick. Just the perfect pudding texture.
Save money. Make Breakfast!
Chia puddings at cute cafes and restaurants can be anywhere form $6-$12 for a small serving. To be honest, it is overpriced and the consientcy isn't so creamy. You can make about 4-6 chia puddings for the price of one that you would buy.
I like to buy majority of my ingridents in bulk.
At BULK BARN
- Chia Seeds
- Cocoa powder
- Pumpkin Spice
- maple syrup/honey/agave syrup
At your local GROCERY STORE
- full fat coconut milk
- vanilla extract (pure)
- nut milk ( almond milk, unsweetened)
I like to use my favourite vegan protein powder by LEANFIT, Organic Completegreen Protein Powder.
This is a perfect breakfast that keeps you satisfied and full for longer. This Pumpkin Spice Chia Pudding is warming with the hint of chocolate and Fall spices. Your taste buds will be rejuvenated.

Today we catch up with Kim Overton, Founder of the "small personal item belt," aka SPIbelt. Kim is an inventor and entrepreneur, and most certainly not the first Overton to make a deep and lasting mark in Austin. Kim got started at the young age of six, with her first business of selling mistletoe, and has been full steam ahead ever since. She moved to New York for a successful dancing career and even landed on MTV as a lead dancer. She returned back to Austin as a personal trainer, where she came up with the idea for SPIbelt, small personal item belt, on a run on the Hike and Bike trail. We talk about her courage to be a "solo starter," where she created her family on her own, and her own family roots. Kim's actions help others in many different ways and we thank her for being such a great inspiration and community innovator and leader!
Download link | iTunes | Stitcher Radio | TuneIn | Google Play
Key Takeaways:
[2:02] Her parents brought her to Austin when she was 11 months old. She's lived all around the world, but always thinks of Austin as a homebase.
[3:46] Her first job was when she was six, and her dad would pick mistletoe for her to sell to the neighbors.
[4:34] She was heavily into gymnastics and dance, especially hip hop, and moved to New York to pursue that passion.
[6:33] While in New York she danced for MTV's show, The Grind, for over a year.
[7:52] She came back to Austin in 2005, and worked as a personal trainer, while living at her grandparents house.
[9:12] Kim tells us about her amazing family Overton background. Her granddad was a civil rights leader. His first cousin is Richard Overton, who is 110 years old and the oldest living veteran.
[12:24] She founded SPIbelt in 2007. It's a running belt, NOT a fanny pack! It expands to hold keys, phone, cards, etc. She came up with the idea as a runner needing something sleek, low profile, stylish, and that wasn't bouncing around.
[16:16] The company has expanded into messenger bags, and even dog leashes with pockets for treats and bags.
[16:29] Thank you to our Sponsor, the Papasan Properties Group.
[18:29] SPIBelt is the #1 belt in the industry, and a very unique product for its type. Kim is not worried about the knock offs, and it helps push her further.
[19:37] SPIBelt stands for "small personal item belt."
[19:52] Kim began her "solo starter" journey with starting a family on her own, at age 38. At age 39 she had a child, and five years later she met her husband.
[25:00] The concept of women having babies with or without a partner is not a new concept, but Kim is open to talking about it, and sharing her success story of starting her family before she found her right partner.
[28:10] Kim recommends the Hike and Belt trail for out of towners.
[31:52] Next week our guest is Alan Graham of Mobile Loaves & Fishes.

|Apply the toothpaste to the toothbrush and thoroughly clean all teeth and interdental spaces ( best after each meal, at least twice a day for 2 minutes). Afterwards rinse mouth with warm water.
|мы рекомендуем
|Apply an adequate amount of toothpaste onto the toothbrush (manual or electric) and thoroughly clean your teeth and interdental spaces. Our advice is to clean teeth after each meal, at least 2 times a day for period of 2-3 minutes. In this way you will remove plaque and pickings from teeth which could cause carries and inflammation. The toothpaste does not contain any rough grinding particles which could irritate sensitive tooth sockets or sore places in the mouth. The strong herb extracts from oak bark, grapefruit seeds, clove, sage and rosemary act antiseptically and disinfect the sores from dentures or braces, aphthae and small mouth injuries and gum inflammation and parodontosis. The astringent substances reduce the bleeding of gums after their brushing or after a dentist appointment. The oil from clove effectively reduces the sensitivity of gum sockets, sores, injuries or teething. During the brushing, the toothpaste effectively treats the whole mouth and significantly helps to reduce all problems, inflammation regression, parodontosis and painful spots. Thanks to the natural substances used you will have a long lasting fresh and pleasant taste in your mouth. In the case of bigger problems we recommend to combine toothpaste cannadent with the serum cannadent or mix the toothpaste with water and rinse mouth.

It's a busy week for foodies with Chocolate Week and National Curry Week being celebrated.
Whether it's a Thai curry, Japanese curry or Indian curry, fiery, hot or mild, many people enjoy a curry. The most popular takeaway is apparently Indian with two thirds of meals out being Indian.
Our residents aren't planning to beat the 2012 poppadom tower record, where 1280 poppadoms were piled high to celebrate National Curry Week. There is however curry on the menu in some of our homes and certainly a chocolate pudding option as standard.
Chocolate week has certainly captured everyone's attention within the homes. Cornerways are starting their week and Bramble Down are ending their week with a chocolate fountain sensory tasting afternoon. A number of things will be dipped into the melted chocolate and enjoyed by many.
If you are visiting the homes, feel free to bring some chocolate treats for residents to enjoy and have fun judging their favourites, so they make pick their winners.
Happy Chocolate week and National Curry Week everyone.

'Deterrence' of North Korea could cost millions of lives
Kevin James:
Choosing to deter North Korea is to engage in a gamble: you avoid the costs of a preventive war today when North Korea is relatively weak, but you run the risk of an accidental nuclear war later when North Korea is vastly more powerful. Using plausible estimates of the probability of accidental nuclear war derived from the U.S.-Soviet experience during the Cold War, I find that gambling on deterrence will lead to 7.5 million U.S.-South Korean-Japanese deaths on average (under optimistic assumptions) while a preventive war now will lead to 1.4 million deaths (under pessimistic assumptions). So, not only is deterrence a gamble, it is a reckless and foolish one. Preventive war is the wise and prudent response to North Korea's nuclear threat.I tend to agree that the time for a preventive attack is before they can ramp up their missile and nuclear weapons production from its current stage. They have made enough threats to justify a preventive war.

Verizon's wireless 911 service fails, FCC asks for answers – RealtyGo_blog
Posted by RealtyGo.co in verizon on February 22, 2011
This is a bit scary…
Verizon Wireless failed to connect around 10,000 calls to 911 during the Jan. 26 snowstorm that blanketed Maryland, according to the FCC, and the agency has requested that the carrier provided a detailed account of what went wrong and what the carrier plans to do to fix it. Importantly, the FCC said it is worried the problem may not be limited to the area, and instead is "widespread across Verizon's footprint."
Verizon noted the issue involves the company's wireline division, although the FCC said the problem specifically involved wireless callers.
"We have taken seriously the concerns about the outage that was triggered by the mass call event that occurred during the January 26th snowstorm. We have been addressing this issue directly with the counties involved, and will work cooperatively to address the FCC's questions, as well," said Verizon spokesman Harry Mitchell. "Our objective is to provide the best service to our customers, and we will continue to work with 911 centers and others to ensure that callers receive the level of service they deserve and expect when they call 911."
James Barnett, chief of the FCC's Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau, sent Verizon a letter Feb. 17 detailing the problem, which he said blocked 8,300 wireless calls to 911 in Montgomery County, Maryland, and 1,700 calls to 911 in Prince George's County, Maryland, on Jan. 26. Barnett wrote that Verizon's system stopped taking 911 calls during the snowstorm and did not alert the local 911 answering stations about the problem. He noted that 911 workers only discovered the problem after they received complaints from callers.
Barnett said the trouble was not due to an overload of the system or faulty equipment, and that similar troubles have occurred in the area a number of times before.
"We are particularly concerned that this problem may be widespread across Verizon's footprint," Barnett wrote. "We therefore request that Verizon investigate the extent of the problem across its network."
The FCC requested that Verizon respond to the issue by March 10.

Sony Ericsson makes Xperia Play official with Super Bowl ad – RealtyGo
Posted by RealtyGo.co in advertising, Android, APP, Erickson, Green Real Estate, Mobile Advertising, Mobile phone, Mobile Real Estate Listings, QR Code, Real Estate, RealtyGo, Smartphones, Sony on February 7, 2011
Sony Ericsson is no longer being coy about its intentions to launch a gaming-focused smartphone running Google's (NASDAQ:GOOG) Android platform. The company unveiled an advertisement for the Xperia Play, which has been dubbed the "PlayStation phone," during last night's Super Bowl.
In the minute-long ad, Sony Ericsson took the wraps off the phone, which it said will be formally announced Feb. 13. The commercial shows Google's Android robot being given fingers for gameplay. There also are images of the smartphone, which appears to have a slide-out controller panel.
The Xperia Play is expected to be the first smartphone that meets the standard's of Sony's PlayStation Certified license program for hardware manufacturers. That certification promises software development support and logo licensing to guarantee quality gameplay experiences across the Android device ecosystem.
Sony Ericsson has long hinted it will debut the Xperia Play and numerous leaked images and videos of the smartphone have flooded the web in recent months.
But Sony Ericsson was not the only wireless company taking advantage of the high-profile Super Bowl advertising time. Verizon Wireless (NYSE:VZ) touted its forthcoming launch of Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPhone 4 with a slight dig at AT&T Mobility (NYSE:T) in a commercial that highlights Verizon's call quality with its "Can you hear me now?" spokesman. AT&T suffered numerous public relations setbacks due to iPhone users' perception that the carrier had poor network quality in some areas. AT&T shot back with its own Super Bowl ad that highlighted its ability to make simultaneous voice calls and surf the web on the iPhone, which users cannot do on Verizon's CDMA network.
Additionally, Motorola Mobility (NYSE:MMI) took jab at Apple's iPad with a teaser ad for its forthcoming Xoom tablet, which runs on version 3.0, or Honeycomb, of Android. The tablet, which will initially launch on Verizon's EVDO network, will require a monthly rate plan, the ad noted: 1 GB of data for $20; 3GB for $35; 5 GB for $50 and 10 GB for $80. A Motorola spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Switching to Verizon? Sell Back Your AT&T iPhone at Macworld; best for San Fran locals..
Posted by RealtyGo.co in at&t, RealtyGo, Smartphones, verizon on January 28, 2011
e-Cycle, an official buyback and recycling partner of Verizon Wireless, will be buying back AT&T iPhone units onsite at Macworld Expo 2011.
Macworld Expo runs from Thursday January 27 through Saturday January 29 in San Francisco. Attendees can visit the e-Cycle booth and trade in their old iPhone units for cash.
The Verizon iPhone launch is just around the corner, a fact that is giving many AT&T iPhone owners cause for consideration. e-Cycle is taking advantage of the opportunity to accept in-person buybacks.
According to e-Cycle, only 10% of the roughly 130 million phones discarded each year are recycled. Not only do many of these phones still have resale value, passing a phone on to a new owner is a lot better for the environment than tossing the device in a landfill.
If you aren't going to be at Macworld, e-Cycle has an online buyback tool for both the iPhone and iPad. Payout depends on the model of phone and its condition. As an example, we were offered $160 for our not quite year-old 32GB iPhone 3GS. Depending on how far along you are in your contract and how much you originally paid for your iPhone, selling the old unit could offset a significant portion of a Verizon iPhone's cost or the AT&T early termination fee (ETF).
e-Cycle says that it scrubs all devices using "the industry's most rigorous mobile data security measures," and phones traded in at Macworld will be wiped of all user data upon receipt.

T-Mobile, LG announce Honeycomb-powered G-Slate Android tablet – RealtyGo.co
Posted by RealtyGo.co in Android, LG, MMS, Mobile Ads, Mobile Real Estate Listings, QR Code, Smartphones, T-Mobile, Tablets, Text, Text Messaging on January 6, 2011
T-Mobile USA announced it will sell the Android-powered G-Slate tablet, built by LG, "in coming months."
The companies provided little in the way of details. The G-Slate will run the "Honeycomb" version of Android 3.0, which is designed for tablet-style gadgets, and will support T-Mobile's HSPA+ network, which the carrier has branded as 4G. The companies did not release specifications, pricing or a launch date.
The announcement of the G-Slate came mere minutes after Motorola Mobility (NYSE:MMI) unveiled its own Honeycomb-powered tablet, the Xoom for Verizon Wireless (NYSE:VZ)–a possible move by T-Mobile and LG to lessen the splash of Motorola's announcement here at the Consumer Electronics Show.
The G-Slate represents a further evolution of both T-Mobile USA and LG's respective strategies. T-Mobile has been working to broaden and deepen its lineup of high-end devices, and currently sells the Samsung GalaxyTab tablet and the HSPA+-powered G2 and myTouch 4G smartphones. All of the gadgets run Google's (NASDAQ:GOOG) Android platform.
For LG, the G-Slate brings to a close the company's troubled tablet journey. LG announced in July its intention to offer an Android tablet in the fourth quarter of 2010. However, in October the company said it scrapped plans to offer an Android 2.2 tablet, arguing Android 2.2, dubbed Froyo, isn't suitable for tablet-sized devices.
….and our Mobile Real Estate software and services will run on any tablet and Smartphone Operating System.

It couldn't really be as easy at it probably seemed. And, eventually, it wasn't. But the first taste of big-league action for 21-year-old John Purdin in 1964 had to be pretty heady stuff for the Ohio native.
The first batter he faced, coming out of the bullpen in the sixth inning on September 16, with the Dodgers trailing Pittsburgh by five, was Bill Mazeroski. He retired the future Hall-of-Famer on a grounder to third, and worked a scoreless inning. In the seventh, he retired Roberto Clemente, Willie Stargell and Donn Clendenon in order. Not a bad debut.
But it would get even better. Purdin got the start his next time out, facing Larry Jackson and the Cubs at Dodger Stadium on September 30. Cubs catcher Dick Bertell singled in the third and fifth innings. Those would be the only two hits allowed by Purdin in a 2-0 complete-game victory. Purdin would get one more chance, starting the final game of the year for the Dodgers, at home against Houston on October 4. He would finally surrender a run on a fourth-inning leadoff homer by Jimmy Wynn. But he picked up the win with five solid innings in an 11-1 rout.
Purdin was never going to be able to sustain that kind of success. And he didn't. Another brief trial in 1965 wasn't pretty. He spent all of '66 and '67 in the minors, was effective out of the Dodger bullpen in '68, and then not so much in '69. And that was it for his major-league career.
1969 Topps John Purdin LAD #161
The Vintage Virtuoso, Mark "Harry" Hoyle comes through again, continuing to stake his claim as the biggest, baddest contributor to the PWMD collection. In this case, perseverance paid off, as Mark had sent me Purdin's only other solo Topps card in the very first package that he sent my way. Way to employ the process of elimination, Mark! Thanks again for being the Santa Clause of baseball cards. I have no idea how I managed to get on the "good" list, but I'm sure glad to be here.

'Morally wrong' is how a Government Act is being described by an Eastbourne councillor.
It's thought the already under pressure social housing system in the town could face a bigger burden, as the Borough Council is forced to sell off a portion of the homes they have available on an annual basis, to fund a nationwide system they say is not supported by housing associations.
Councillor Alan Shuttleworth has been speaking to Eastbourne Buzz about his concerns.

I like birds, though admittedly I tend to prefer them at a distance. I like watching them fly. I like wondering about the rules that dictate their flight path: their destination of course, and also the shape of the wind, and its layered temperatures, and which way it pushes. I wonder how they perceive the air. I doubt that it has color or sound of anything similar to our senses, but I think they must be a definite thing for them, not just a vague sensation as it is for us.
Flocks of birds, of course, are even more fun to watch. They look entirely disorganized and random, but the behavior of a flock can be modeled using only a few lines of computer code. They delicately balance the demands of a few basic needs, constantly shifting and adjusting to reach equilibrium.
Sometimes I feel like that, especially since the baby was born. It comes up in social dynamics – I constantly have a running list of which family members have held the baby recently, and for how long, and whether she was in a good mood or a bad one, and when they next will be able to hold her. And at every family gathering and every social function it comes into play – who gets her first, when I take her back, who I seek out and who I let come to us. And, of course, whether it would be better to keep her with us after all, despite others' willingness to hold her, because she is tired and cranky and will be calmer with us.
Sometimes, of course, one cannot reach equilibrium and have to change the parameters of the problem. This weekend Beauty needed a nap, and I was pretty certain she needed to scream for a bit first, but Hero was with us and when she cried I could feel him getting tense, which naturally made me tense. So I told him to go read in another room, so that she could have her cry without making us tense. And it worked.
People wonder why God allows bad things to happen. I don't know. But I do know that seemingly chaotic behavior generally has its root in these balancing acts we all perform, adjusting for various factors as they shift in turn. I believe that God is the Ultimate Balance, the Foundation of Order, creating equilibrium out of every atom, every photon, every emotion and thought and need. No wonder it looks random.
Breathe deep. Seek peace. Fly high.

BIG HORN — The game ended nearly as soon as it began. Will Pelissier returned the opening kickoff 85 yards for a touchdown, jump-starting the Big Horn High School football team on its way to a resounding 55-14 victory Friday night over Upton-Sundance.
Pelissier scooped the ball up near the sideline, made one defender miss and outran the opposition to the end zone.
"That's a heck of a way to start and really get the juices flowing," head coach Kirk McLaughlin said.
Pelissier's return was the first of many long scoring plays for the Rams, who improved to 4-0 on the season. Big Horn had six scoring plays of at least 20 yards and racked up more than 400 yards of offense in the dominating win.
Three of those big plays occurred in the second quarter, when the Rams offense clicked on all cylinders. Kade VanDyken intercepted a pass in the first minute of the second stanza and scored less than two minutes later on a 31-yard touchdown reception. VanDyken caught the ball on a comeback route, juked by his defender and ran for the easy score.
Less than three minutes later, VanDyken beat his opponent down the sidelines and ran under a perfectly-thrown ball from Quinn McCafferty for a 62-yard strike. McCafferty threw for 182 yards and three scores on the night, while VanDyken tallied 103 yards and two touchdowns receiving.
Kade Eisele scampered 36 yards on the next possession for the third of his four touchdowns, putting the Rams up 41-0 with 3:23 left in the second quarter. Eisele finished the game with 166 yards rushing.
Big Horn played nearly flawless football for the first 21 minutes of action, apart from a few holding penalties, which plagued the team throughout the night. The Rams gave up a 37-yard touchdown pass before halftime, which prompted the coaches to challenge the players to come out strong in the second half.
That is exactly what happened, as Big Horn added two more touchdowns in the first four minutes of action to seal the game for good. The Rams took advantage of a fortunate bounce on the second-half kickoff, with Eisele scoring on the ground from 27 yards out two plays later.
Big Horn kicker, receiver and defensive back Jack Nance booted the opening kickoff about 30 yards downfield and eventually recovered the ball after it bounced back toward the Rams.
"Everybody was super surprised by it," Nance said. "None of the Upton-Sundance players rallied around it and I just picked it up."
Nance also converted seven of eight extra points and was part of the Big Horn defense that held the Patriots' offense in check all night. The defensive starters came out late in the third quarter and only gave up seven points and about 120 yards of offense.
McLaughlin said the defense excelled against an Upton-Sundance team that came into Friday's matchup averaging 46 points per game.
Nance said physicality was key to the team's defensive success.
"We set out to be the team to just punch them right in the mouth and show them that we're here to play," Nance said. "We really pride ourselves on that. If we're not the most physical team on the field, then we've got something wrong."
McLaughlin is pleased with his team's dominant start to the season but said they can't take anything for granted early on. That especially rings true next week when the Rams make the long trek down to Pine Bluffs for a rematch of last season's state championship game.
"I don't know about them, but this game's been circled on our calendar," McLaughlin said.
Big Horn plays at Pine Bluffs next Friday.
Upton-Sundance…0 7 0 7 — 14
Big Horn……….20 21 14 0 — 55

Utilizing a wider global perspective and vision, author Shannon Bohle provides a broader lens to examine Open Access and Open Data. As the article states, "According to an article published in The Harvard Business Review's HBR Blog Network, "….open data has little value if people can't use it. Indeed, the goal is for this data to become actionable intelligence: a launchpad for investigation, analysis, triangulation, and improved decision making at all levels."
Though some portions of this article are a little hard to view (tiny print alert!), it's worth investigating particularly with regards to the suggested potential utilization of big data. Also, the author offers a short "sidebar" into the possible future merging of big data with artificial intelligence. And the role of librarians in all this, you may ask? According to Ms. Bohle, Librarians are at the epi-center for Open Access and Open Data: "Librarians and archivists have key roles to play in not only storing data, but packaging it for proper accessibility and use, including adding descriptive metadata and linking to existing tools or designing new ones for their users."

Visa Leads the Dow -- Again
It may be Friday the 13th, but the Dow Jones Industrial Average is staying in the green so far today -- up about 20 points just before noon EST -- following a week full of economic news, Federal Reserve taper chatter, federal budget advances, and financial-reform rule approvals.
Helping to prop up the Dow this morning is credit card giant Visa , coming back after stumbling a bit after a big showing earlier in the week.
With no big news happening today, the markets appear to be moderating. The federal budget is on track to be approved by the U.S. Senate next week after sailing through the House of Representatives late yesterday.
Although some analysts are saying today that a decision by the Federal Open Market Committee to begin begin pulling back its stimulus efforts is imminent, there is no sign of taper terror in the market this morning. Of course, there's plenty of time for that, as the FOMC commences its last meeting of 2013 on Dec. 17.
Visa still strong
With the holiday shopping season in full swing, the likelihood that consumers will be exercising their credit cards increases. Both Visa and rival MasterCard are in the green today despite a report that more consumers are staying away from stores this year.
The Associated Press reported that shoppers appear to be taking a breather due to reasons such as lingering financial concerns and the hyper-marketing of the holiday season. Some consumers, the article notes, were put off by Thanksgiving Day retail store openings this year.
Of course, shoppers could just be waiting for last-minute deals, at which time many will doubtless be whipping out their credit cards. Typically, retailers make between 20% and 40% of their yearly sales at this time of year, so more shopping is probably on tap. Also, the increased online purchasing activity this year very probably means a rise in credit card use, since payment options when shopping on the Internet are not conducive to cash transactions.
Just before noon, Visa was up 0.6%, a slight dip from its intraday high so far, but it doesn't look in danger of losing much steam. After all, there are only two shopping weekends left until Christmas.

"What is Second life?", you may be asking yourself.
This is taken right from the second life website.
Second Life is a 3-D virtual world entirely created by its Residents.
Since opening to the public in 2003, it has grown explosively and today is inhabited by millions of Residents from around the globe.

My Birthday on Second life is 5-15-07. That is the day I entered Orientation Island to begin my journey through second life.
Second life is a fantasy world. A place where you can live out almost any fantasy that you have ever had. You can be a superhero if you want, or ride a dragon or even be the dragon. lol whatever you imagine you can do in Second life.
The Picture on the far left of the page is what my avatar looked like after going through the part of orientation island where you learn to edit the appearance of your avatar. The next picture is what she looked like after a couple of weeks, but I was still not pleased with her appearance.
I wanted my avatar to have dark skin, and black hair like mine. I wanted her to look like me, but to be honest, I didn't want her to be big like I am in real life. After all this is my fantasy life, right? In my fantasy I should be able to look the way I want? Right?
All the pictures on the left are pictures of my avatar as I became familiar with second life. It took time, but I learned how to edit my avatar's appearance. I created my Lizzie avatar to learn more about editing the avatar's appearence without destroying the face I'd given her. I think she has become a very attractive avatar. Lizzie has a different look then Poli and she leads a different life then Poli does in Second life.
Poli has become a builder. She has built a small one room house, a teepee, a pool, a leafboat and a sculpture. She is working up to bigger and better things. She is also learning how to make a poser balls. Poser balls make it possible for your avatar to sit, lay, dance, cuddle or anything else you want them to do.

In modern democracies, people are to be empowered by means of information and communication technologies. Transparency and access to data, new ways of interacting with government and democratic institutions cause profound changes in society. Social media and the new forms of societal behaviour, including content generation, collaboration and sharing as well as network organisation change our understanding of politics and business. Governmental and private internet services have increased the citizens' independence and flexibility. However, enthusiastic ideas and projects often failed to produce the expected results as technology is only the basis for new forms of organisation and interaction.
