7 Affordable Vlogging Essentials
Vlogging has grown in popularity over the past year with many vloggers achieving a celebrity like status but how did they do it? Well, apart from the usual advice of being yourself and creating content you enjoy, it is also thanks to the quality of their vlogs.
Vlogs have increased in quality and shaky videos filmed on iPhones don't make the cut anymore. Vlogging equipment can make your videos reach new level of quality but they often come with a hefty price tag. To help you achieve the best possible videos without breaking the bank, we've gathered seven affordable pieces of vlogging equipment for you to enjoy.
1. Softboxes
Natural sunlight which remains consistent is hard to come across in the UK. Softboxes allow you to control the lighting in your videos, so you can film no matter the weather.
Softboxes are often very pricey (in the hundreds) but there are affordable options like this Flash Softbox Diffuser. Compact and collapsible, this softbox will illuminate your face with a natural glow, meaning its great for any indoor photography or videography.
If you're looking to step up your lighting game, investing in a ring light would be a good alternative to a softbox. These are often pricier, but they provide a perfect, even light on your face, making them especially perfect for beauty YouTubers.
2. White Backdrop
White backgrounds are a staple for photographers, but they are also good for vloggers. The crisp white allows your audience and the camera to focus on your face, makeup or clothing without a distracting background.
This large white backdrop is 1.6m x 3m on a supported by a 2m x 2m stand. There are lots of different backgrounds on the market but we think this one is the perfect price and the perfect height for any vloggers looking for that professional touch.
3. Tripod
£13.99 Amazon
Shaky hands aren't known for making great content so by investing in a tripod you will immediately improve your videos. Tripods also give you the ability to frame your videos perfectly, avoiding that awkward editing moment where half your head or arm are out of shot.
There are loads of affordable tripods out there and this one is lightweight, 50 inches, and with lever lock legs to keep it sturdy. Although this tripod holds most cameras, be sure to check it is compatible with your specific model.
4. Remote Switches
Remote switches are an accessory which we wish we had known about earlier. Although self-timers are great, there's always an uncertainty of when exactly the countdown will end, but with remote switches, you can take the image with a click of a button. This is also great for taking flat-lays, allowing you to take the image from afar without your shadow interfering in the photo.
This remote switch by Amazon can be used up to 10 feet away from your camera and is wireless, meaning there are no messy wires ready for you to trip over on.
5. Microphone Wind Muff
Wind muffs are great for vloggers who often film outside, whether that's filming your walk home from work or an outside festival. They eliminate the wind noise that cameras pick up, wrecking the audio and your footage.
This pack of 6 muffs can be reused and stuck on both your phone and camera, meaning you can vlog wherever you want, whenever you want with top audio.
6. SD Card
SD cards are essential for every vlogger no matter the size. The SD card you choose will be dependent on the camera you have and the amount of content you want to store on it, but there are plenty of affordable options on the market.
This 32GB SanDisk Ultra is the ideal choice for mid-range cameras and is a class 10 rating for recording full HD videos. There is also 16, 64 and 128 GB versions available but they increase in price as they increase in storage.
7. Rechargeable Batteries and Battery Charger
Vlogging is a full-time hobby (or job if you're lucky!) which means there's a lot of on-the-go work. There's nothing worse than having your camera die mid-trip so to avoid this issue we'd recommend investing in some rechargeable batteries and a charger.
Again, be sure to always check what size battery is compatible with your camera. This charger is great as it can charge two batteries at a time, ensure your camera is always fully charged and vlog ready!
If you have any more vlogging must have's tweet us over at @CollectivEdge and be sure to sign up to our database to access our campaign dashboard and get involved.

Wildlife Decisions Made by Board of Game,
Not Department
Letters to the
Editor / Anchorage Daily News / December 2, 2003
As the wolf debate rages on, I would like to correct an important but often misstated fact. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game does not make the wildlife regulations. This is done by the Board of Game, which is a political body appointed by the governor and confirmed by the Legislature.
The Board of Game considers regulatory proposals and input from any individual or organization in Alaska, from rural and urban Fish and Game Advisory Committees, and from the Department of Fish and Game. This board then independently makes the regulations that Fish and Game must implement and the troopers must enforce.
It is critical that people who wish to have a voice in Alaska's wildlife management understand how regulations are created so that they can participate in what is a political process -- a process that begins with the vote you cast for your legislative representatives and governor.
Thank you for the opportunity to clarify and hopefully empower.

Namespace and consensus
As I understand, the rholang execution actually transforms the names stored in tuplespace from one state to another state
At a certain point, tuplespace is in state S1 = { A1, B1, C1 }.
- A1 is the state of name a, which holdes processes or continuations.
- B1 is the state of name b, which holdes processes or continuations.
- C1 is the state of name c, which holdes processes or continuations.
After execution for a while, tuplespace is transformed into state S2 = { A1, C2, D1 }
- A1 = A1, which means no change on name a during execution
- B1 has gone, which means name b was consumed and now it holds nothing
- C1 -> C2, which means name c changed. Maybe new process appended or continuation consumed during execution
- D1 appears, which means this is a new name d generated during execution
First, do I understand correctly?
I have the following questions basing my understanding.
Suppose there is a region R which hosts a standalone(not jointed) namespace X.
Within this namespace, there are multiple validators, which hold the tuplespace.
- All validators in R run the same code, right?
- Does validators in same namespae have the same content(state) of tuplespace?
I assume they should have the same copy of tuplespace. Right?
What I cant understand are:
- Messages can be delayed, there could be minor differences in tuplespace between validators.
- Rholang execution is nondeterministic. e.g chan is a name holds more than one messages. for(x <- chan) may consume the first message in one validator but the same code in another validator consumes a different message . Which results in different result.
It seems to be just impossible to keep tuplespace in same sate in the same validator.
- But if the tuplespace state is different across different validators in X, how could they make a consensus?
- What is actually stored into the block? Or what does a block in this case contain?
- changes of tuplespace state?
- snapshot of tuplespace state?
- hash?
- Other?
Best Regards
In Rholang processes are immutable in the sense that any changes that could occur (like adding a new process in concurrent composition or comm rule reduction) actually yield a new process as opposed to modifying the old one. Names are immutable in the same sense because names are quoted processes. That being said, your questions are still valid because which names/processes are stored in the tuplespace does change as Rholang code executes because processes are created and destroyed through comm rule reductions and new code deployments.
As you point out, is it non-trivial for all the validators to agree on a single state of the tuplespace, but that is why we have a consensus protocol. If they follow the protocol then eventually they will reach consensus (at least in practical situations that is true, technically that is a property called "liveness" which is not a property possessed by any deterministic consensus protocol in an asynchronous setting, by FLP impossibility). To learn how this works you can read more about CBC Casper, which is the general consensus framework we are applying to RChain, here.
In sort though, we are following the description in Vlad's paper, but with an extension to allow blocks with multiple parents. Blocks contain the new code that was deployed in that block, a trace of the execution that occurred after adding that new code (which includes specifying which names were consumed in `for`s, thus solving the issue you pointed out above), and the hash of the final tuplespace state. This makes the computations performed by one validator fully reproducible by other validators when they receive the block.

Altered Thread Spools
2 comments:
Hi Jocelyn, I love the Nutcracker paper and I think I'll make a couple of spools for my sewing room Christmas tree. More questions from me..I'm very new at scrapping. What size spools did you use? I think the ones I have on hand are too small for the patterns. Did you craft with the 12x12 or 8x8 size paper? Thank you again, BarbReplyDelete
I used the largest (I think) size that I could find at JoAnn's. They are about about 2" high and about 1-1/4 wide across the top. I used the 8x8 pad. I won it from G45 from one of their monthly challenges. I think with the 8x8 pad you could find some prints that would work on smaller spools than the ones I used.ReplyDelete

The first annual Gypsy Spirit 2009 in the Czech Republic were announced by the Minister for Human Rights Michael Kocáb. The project was organized under the auspices of the chairman of the jury Mr. Václav Havel and the Eurocommissioner Vladimír Špidla. The project culminated in the the prize award ceremony at the "Pražská křižovatka" centre on 1 December 2009 in the presence of Václav Havel, Cardinal Miloslav Vlk, the Director of the ACEC Ľubomíra Slušná, Magda Vašáryová and Andrzej Mirga. The entire gala evening was broadcast by the Czech Radio; the Czech Television broadcast the television recording of the prize award ceremony on the ČT 24 channel on 5 December 2009 at 20:00.
Two annual prize awards have already been organized in the Slovak Republic by the Asociácia pre kultúru, vzdelávanie a komunikáciu (ACEC). More information on the implementation of the project in the Slovak Republic and in the Czech Republic can be found at websites www.gypsyspirit.eu.
Winners of Gypsy Spirit 2009:
1. Prize for a non-governmental organization – for the implementation of the project and other achievements.

Period Covered: Jun 2015 to Jun 2016
Federation Business School (FBS) at Federation University Australia has been a signatory to the United Nations PRME since January 2012. Over the past 12 months, we have made significant progress in embedding the PRME's six principles into everything we do as a Business School.
Achievements Curriculum Integration in the Field of Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability
Federation Business School (FBS) has funded a PRME Coordinator role and the established a PRME Committee, responsible for implementation of the faculty's PRME Strategic Plan 2016-20. This plan maps the school's PRME priorities for the next five years and how the school intends to meet its PRME obligations.
FBS continues to embed the principles of sustainability, values and ethics and corporate social responsibility into the university experience of all staff and students undertaking FBS programs. FBS has continued its participation in programs such as ENACTUS and the New Colombo Plan, that engage staff and students in activities for an inclusive and sustainable global economy
Dedicated PRME courses for graduate and undergraduate programs have been developed and are now delivered as core courses for all Business School students. These courses embed the themes of sustainability, corporate social responsibility, values and ethics into every program offered by FBS and these themes are reinforced throughout each student's academic experience.
For its 2015 Student Awards, FBS introduced a PRME Award for the student with the most meritorious performance in Principles of Responsible Business course.
FBS is currently developing an online Professional Development program to assist academic and administration staff to embed the PRME into their professional roles.
Achievements Research Development in the Field of Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability
Federation Business School has invested substantial time and effort into redefining who we are, what we do and what we stand for. The PRME has now been embedded into the faculty's Mission, Vision and Values statements.
FBS researchers have published numerous books, chapters and journal articles and presented at conferences on a range of PRME-related themes, including corporate social responsibility, organisational ethics, gender politics at work, business ethics and governance and regional economic development.
FBS has partnered with several business and community partners to develop and deliver research, education and community development programs supporting PRME in our regions. These programs have included:
• Glenelg SAVES (Glenelg Seniors Achieving Valuable Energy Savings)
• Sustainable Resources, Sustainable Agribusiness
• Towards reducing bather exposure to water pollution
• Commerce Ballarat & Baw Baw Shire Business Excellence Awards
• Ignite Your Business
• Ballarat Green Drinks
In September 2016, the Federation Business School will host the Social Responsibility Research Network Conference - 15th International Conference on Corporate Social Responsibility and 6th Organisational Governance Conference on CSR and organizational governance, in Melbourne, Australia.
Coinciding with SRRNet conference, the FBS is also hosting the 2016 meeting of the PRME Australasian Chapter.

As a teacher and father, I know that being a parent is a challenge and a pleasure. It is fantastic to see our children develop, learn and recognize their potential. Nevertheless, it's challenging to understand how best to direct them in that process.
That's especially true now, in the time of the smartphone when a lot are experiencing increasing amounts of anxiety and of our youth are hyper-connected, but might struggle with contact skills.
The Portland Public Schools is starting off 2018 to aid parents in helping their children succeed both academically and in life. Parent U is intended to attract caregivers and parents to learn from each other and experts. Through events and free classes that are fun, interactive, and educational, we will focus on trending issues that are important to households.
For instance, in Parent U's kickoff event on Saturday, Jan. 27, from 1-4 p.m. at Ocean Avenue Elementary School, Columbia University Professor Amy Stuart Wells will speak about the way to create truly integrated public schools that prepare our children for life in the present global society. Portland schools are uniquely positioned to achieve this. I encourage you to come and discuss with Wells and your friends and neighbors.
Future sessions will concentrate on such subjects as how parents can simulate a positive, "development mindset" to assist their children persevere when college becomes hard. Other classes will research how to use artwork to go over sensitive topics and discuss how to increase women — and healthy and resilient boys.
I intend to direct a lunchtime book discussion group in March about increasing "iGen" children, based on Jean Twenge's novel by that title. As we parents and educators know, texting and social media often take up a major portion of their own lives, and they have contact with friends and loved ones. Twenge indicates that this affects this creation that the rest of us should understand. That is the objective of this discussion group, and I look forward to studying together with all my fellow Portlanders.
Check our Parent U site — http://parentu.portlandschools.org/ — about dates and other particulars on this particular session and others that we are offering.
There'll be no grades or evaluations at Parent U, and caregivers and parents may attend few, or as many, sessions as they like. Child care and refreshments will be given, and interpretation services are available upon request.
We are deeply grateful for helping fund Parent U, to generous donors. The Maine Community Foundation, People of Color Fund has provided a $7,500 grant; and the Margaret E. Burnham Charitable Trust has given us $3,000 with this particular project.
We will also be looking to our network partners and our parents to supply knowledge and their experience on specific subjects.
Parent U is a part of our key plans for fulfilling your Portland Promise, our Complete Strategy.
Parents are partners in helping students succeed. Research demonstrates that parents can boost their child's academic success by being active in their children's school and community. We want to offer all our families and find out together how to help all of our children succeed.
Parent U ties into our "Equity" goal plan of raising parent participation in our schools. As part of that goal, we strive to reduce gaps in opportunity and achievement between our students and students who don't possess the exact advantages — due to such variables.
This past year will be the 50th anniversary of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King's assassination in 1968. It is an amazing time to realize the battle to achieve equity in society remains in these areas as instruction and social justice, and to recall his life and legacy. Throughout Parent U and other initiatives, the Portland Public Schools is trying to come closer to attaining equity in our colleges.
Xavier Botana is currently superintendent of the Portland Public Schools. He can be reached at email@example.com.

Frequently Asked Questions
Please click on questions
What is vacuum packaging?
Vacuum packaging is the process of removing air from a bag prior to sealing. This process is commonly performed within the food industry using a vacuum chamber machine.
What are the benefits of vacuum packaging?
Vacuum packaging is primarily used to extend the shelf life of perishable foods such as meats and cheeses by reducing atmospheric oxygen and limiting the growth of aerobic bacteria. It is also commonly used to store dry foods over a long period of time, such as cereals, nuts, cured meats, coffee, and potato chips. This form of packaging is becoming increasingly popular in other industries such as electronics and medical for its advantages of providing a clean, dry, and low oxygen environment for sensitive goods.
How do I determine which vacuum chamber machine is best for me?
First you need to determine what size vacuum pouches you will be using. Then you will need to consider how many packages you will need to seal on a daily basis and how many hours you wish to operate. Once the above is determined then you can contact us and we will determine which machine is best for your application.
What vacuum pumps are used in Promarks vac machines?
Busch vacuum pumps are standard in all Promarksvac PROMAX brand vacuum chamber machines and vacuum tumblers.
Where are Promarks vac machines manufactured?
Promarks vac Corp owns a manufacturing facility in Taiwan where all of the stainless steel welding and fabrication is performed. Machines undergo final assembly, inspection, and approval at Promarks vac U.S. based facility in Ontario, California.

What happened to Miss Jazz Soup on youtube?
Okay, Miss Jazz Soup is the username of a youtuber who does Harry Potter audiobooks that are really really great. She also sings, and has a great voice. I've been subscribed to her for six months, but she suddenly disappeared from Youtube. She is no longer on my subscription list, and I tried a dozen different searches. Nothing. Anybody know what's happened? Miss Jazz Soup, if you're reading this, please come back to Youtube.

Not sure if you came across that one already, but it looks like the best way to contact her directly for now.
This is what she said about her youtube account:
"I have temporarily disabled my account because the publishing company of the HP books in the UK has contacted me due to a copyright issue. I am not allowed to have their book covers in their videos. I hope I can edit them out..."
Post: #3
hey! I just went on that facebook page and if you didnt see it here it is!: Hi!
Time for yet another update in the fake channel issue: the last idiot has been banished from youtube, so that from now on, the only place you'll find my videos, is on MY channel! *happy dance* yaay
I shall be tracking the harry potter audiobook tag regularly in the near future, as I sadly see a high chance that this may happen again. I will also take this opportunity to say 2 things:
1, that I will be more than happy should you need my videos for your own projects. Just contact me here on FB or in my YT inbox beforehand and inform me. Plus, I'd really love if I get credit or mention where the material came from. I am aware that I do not own any of the content that I read (bless you, Jo), but these videos contain my voice and my hard work to record and edit the content.
2, I am doing this with no intention of profit intended. This is something I enjoy doing, and I in no way have any intentions to claim ownership of any material. I'm just a fangirl, re-reading to you the words that have shaped my own childhood and brought imagination and magic to millions the world over....
So, on a brighter note: THANK YOU, guys. Thanks for listening to me, commenting and giving me helpful suggestions, and for reporting, flagging and downgrading videos linked with the copyright matter. But most of all, for sharing your love for HP with me.
Harry Potter and the Unofficial Audiobooks has recently hit 3000 SUBSCRIBERS, something I never would have imagined to happen without YOU. I am so proud.

For those who haven't been following the news, the Surface mini is rumored to be a smaller version of the Microsoft lineup for Surface tablets. With a 7.5-inch display and a unique 4:3 aspect ratio which means that we can look forward to a 1440×1080 resolution. This means that the design could resemble that of the iPad mini rather than that of the regular Surface tablets. Granted it could mean what it says, which is that the event will be small as opposed to a large scaled event, so it's possible that is not related, but at the same time there have also been earlier rumors that suggests an early 2014 launch of the Surface mini, so a May 20th event is in line with the rumor. Read the full story here.
Microsoft may be about to announce the much rumored Microsoft Surface mini tablet, invites for the big event scheduled for the 20th of May could be an indicator.

Belmont: The Laugh Factory Brings Comedy to Lakeview
Audio slideshow: Performers at the new club, The Laugh Factory.
By Milos Markicevic and Abigail Jimenez
The Red Line Project
Posted: Monday, June 4, 2012
Jamie Masada, owner of a chain of successful comedy clubs in the US, opened up The Laugh Factory at a new location in Lakeview this past winter.
Named the "The Real King of comedy" by The New York Daily, Masada is responsible for helping jumpstart the careers of many comedians and has been actively involved in the comedy business for 33 years.
The Chicago location was opened in what had previously been the Lakeview Theatre, a few blocks east of the Belmont Red Line stop. The high cost of maintaining the 100-year-old building forced the original owner to close down the theater in April 2011.
Masada secured a lease of the theatre last year and planning commenced to build what is now the third Laugh Factory in the US. Repairs to the aging theater took roughly a year to complete and cost nearly $5 million.
Open for only two months in the city, the Laugh Factory has already had some famous comedians perform at its location. For its opening night Canadian-Indian comedian, Russel Peters performed. More recently, Dom Irrera performed at the club from May 10-12. Masada said that the club has also made it a priority to support local acts as well.
The Laugh Factory has two locations in California and a fourth was recently opened in Las Vegas. The first location was opened on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood in 1979.
Masada got his first introduction to comedy as a child in his home country of Iran.
"Back then I had never seen a talking picture in my life," Masada said. "One day my father took me to a nearby TV repair shop."
One of the TVs was playing "The Three Stooges."
"We couldn't hear anything since the TV was inside, but we sat outside and my father created his own story and jokes while we watched," he said.
The exposure to comedy at a young age by his father led Masada to pursue a career as a comedy club owner.
Masada moved to the US in 1977. He was helped by his father who pawned his accordion to buy his son a ticket. Speaking little English, Masada supported himself with an assortment of jobs and soon began performing comedy.
At only 16, Masada opened the first Laugh Factory location in LA in 1979 after securing a loan from writer and producer, Neal Israel. Legendary comedian, Richard Pryor, was the first comedian to perform at the venue.
After the Pryor's show Masada attempted to pay the comedian for performing. In the end it was Pryor who paid Masada.
"At first I thought it was a fake, that he was playing a joke on me, that it was a fake hundred dollar bill." Said Masada "I felt bad when I realized it was real. He looked at me and said 'You need this for your rent boy.'"
"The Laugh Factory was one of the first clubs to pay comedians." Masada said proudly. Paying comedians was not a standard practice at the time, he added.
The Laugh Factory has featured many famous comedians since opening in 1979.
"We've had Jim Carrey, Eddie Murphy, Dave Chappelle" Masada said. "They're all my friends."
Located at 3175 N. Broadway in Lakeview, the main entrance hall is like a small comedy museum, adorned with a vast number of comedy memorabilia from Masada's personal collection. Most are of comedians that have performed at the Laugh Factory in the past. One of the most notable pieces is a statue of Richard Prior alongside a few signed items.
The Laugh Factory is also the home to the world record for longest continuous standup comedy. A number of comedians that included Dane Cook and Dom Irrera performed and set the record at 50 hours on Dec. 10, 2010.
It hasn't always been laughter at the Laugh Factory. In 2006 Michael Richards, famous for playing the character Kramer in the comedy Seinfeld, performed at the club and used racist language toward black audience members who were heckling his act.
He said some things that weren't funny," Masada said. "We gave everyone a refund who came to that show." Since the incident the Laugh Factory has banned the use of racial slurs by comedians.
Masada said that the Laugh Factory always prided itself on a laugh-or-your-money-back policy. "If you didn't laugh or have a good time we give you your money back."
To promote its recent Chicago opening free tickets were given out to whoever had a valid driver's license.

If you're lucky, you'll fall in love – truly, madly and deeply in love. But what happens when that honest and pure love isn't enough to erase your fears? What happens when your past rears its ugly head and threatens your future?
Maddy and Reid had that kind of love – the all-encompassing, Earth shattering, once in a lifetime kind of love. Then life happened. Old wounds that were thought to be long healed and scabbed over are ripped opened and they are forced to face the possibility that, maybe, they are not strong enough to fight their demons and embrace the light.
Together, they found out what love is, but now they will each need to heal on their own before they can ever be together again. They must face their fears and beat down their pasts in order to find their way through this crazy uphill battle called love.
They've let love in, but now, they need to find out how to Let Love Stay.
So the second book of The Love Series,. This book was the perfect sequel for me, it never let me down, it never turned down, it was just so great. I have to say Melissa is one of those authors that made me love a series, it just never lost the spark that I found in the first book.
My favorite thing about this book was that it wasn't the perfect love, Maddy I have to say pissed me off with her attitude but she always did because she cared about him and wanted the best for Reid, she knows what it feels like to have one day a family and the other day they are gone, she just wanted Reid to have a great family picture no the sad and hurtful one he has.
"Love is always complicated. You can't expect to hand your soul to someone else without any bumps along the way.''
They had A LOT of challenges here, but they those challenges made them grow as a couple. Another important thing, Reid in this book was still as beautiful and perfect as he was in the first book, I really love this character, so you will fall in love with him even more.
I think and I will always thing Melissa is one great author and has such a great potential to write and she has the ability to transport you to another world in no time, her books are the reflection of life with ups and downs, but real ups and downs, the kind of things you will see in real life not only in books. You will for sure get attached to this book and to this couple.
"I'm not foolish enough to think that things will always be easy, that we'll always be perfect. We've still got mountains to climb, college to graduate, jobs to work. But as we bask in the light of the rising sun together, I know that Reid will always be my perfectly imperfect happily ever after."
Of course 5 stars to this wonderful book!
I am an independent author / self-publisher in the Contemporary Romance / New Adult genre. I hope that you love reading my stories as much as I love writing them.
My other job is teaching high school English. I'm passionate about reading and love getting lost in a good book, especially when it's the one that comes from my own mind.
I'm a wife, mother of 3 beautiful boys and lover of all things romance.

Have you noticed that casinos are quick to change your money into tokens or chips as soon as possible? Once you are no longer looking at the actual money, the chips, tokens or credits seem to loose their monetary value. The less you have to dig into your wallet for the cold hard cash, the less likely you are to associate the excitement that casino play offers with the expenses that can be incurred in a loss.
When you enter a casino, have you ever felt like you were getting a good buzz or a sudden burst of energy? Don't just chalk it up to the bustle of the environment or the kind gesture you think you are getting from a free drink. It could be that the casino is actually piping in oxygen. Some casinos use the oxygen to keep you from getting weary therefore enabling you to play the tables or slots longer. The casinos are hoping that the longer your stay at a black jack table or a slot machine, the more chance of a profit for them.
One of the biggest strategies that the casinos use that should be avoided at all costs is the complimentary beverages that are offered to you. Of course, it is hard to turn down a free drink especially when it is being they are free, but those free drinks could end up costing you much more in the long run. We all know that the more we drink, the less inhibited we become and sometimes loose our sense of judgment. When the drinks are flowing freely, the casinos are hoping that your money will be as well. Be it a lack of clocks or the free drinks, the casinos job is to keep you there spending your money and these are just a few of the strategies that casinos are using to keep you playing.

Set your gym equipment aside. Yoga Exercise will only require you 30 minutes each day, a Yoga Mat or blanket, and a small exercise space.
Yoga is one good way of relaxation. It can ease the tension building in your muscles and joints without experiencing fatigue and overexertion. The Yoga exercise is also believed to make a practitioner look younger. The basic yoga moves involved in the poses and exercises will provide inner peace and radiant health.
These are some of the things to keep in mind before indulging into Yoga Exercise:
- Know your body limits.
- If you want to enjoy the activity, don't push too hard. This could also avoid hurting yourself in the process.
- It is advisable to start with a teacher so you will be guided on the yoga basic positions. If that is not possible, good books or videos on Yoga Exercise can help you get started.
- Consult a health professional before starting to do the exercises, especially if you have certain medical conditions.
The Asanas or the Yoga Poses usually start in breathing slowly and deeply, concentrating your mind, and making yourself centered. Remember that your body movements and breathing must be coordinated until such time that they are one and the same. Your breathing will also be your guide on when to start or stop the Yoga Exercise. Coming into a pose, holding it, and coming out of it must be continuously done with gracefulness.
The Sequence of Yoga Asanas
You will see at the end of the Yoga Session that the forward bends, Backbends, Twist Poses, Standing Poses, Inverted Postures, as well as Meditation Exercises are not that hard as you might have imagined. You just need to properly execute these Yoga Poses and Exercises to achieve the full potential of your body – may it be physical, mental, or spiritual.

Important lesson: Don't insult an Olympic diver on Twitter. You'll end up on the news and get arrested.
Yes, after that charming exchange above (which is pretty tame by troll standards, even though it is still abhorrent), that teenager found himself arrested.
Good? Yes. About time? Sure. Make threats on the internet, and you should be prepared to face the consequences. (Let's overlook the fact that there doesn't appear to be much of a threat made in those tweets though, okay?)
How many women (or indeed other men) have been abused and threatened over the internet? I'd hazard a guess and say millions. How many of those have had actual threats of violence and death made against them, simply because they exist? Too many.
Kathy Sierra stopped blogging, tweeting and doing public speaking events because of threats of violence against her. This New Statesman article outlines the experiences of several female bloggers, not all of a unanimous opinion, but all sharing in common the threats of death, rape and violence against them. One that struck me the most was Dawn Foster's account:
The emails rarely mentioned the topic at hand: instead they focussed on my age, used phrases like "little girl", described rape fantasies involving me and called me "ugly" and "disgusting". Initially it was shocking: in the space of a week, I received a rabid email that included my home address, phone number and workplace address, included as a kind of threat. Then, after tweeting that I'd been waiting for a night bus for ages, someone replied that they hoped I'd get raped at the bus stop.
Slightly more explicitly threatening than "your just a diver anyway a over hyped prick", right? It's certainly the kind of threat that I would hope the police would take note of, and possibly even make arrests over if it was made towards me.
But then, I guess the countless bloggers, columnists and journalists who get threatened in this sort of way aren't a famous diver whose father died recently. Who also has a massive following on Twitter.
Will this latest troll arrest make a dent in the threats posted by trolls on the internet? We can only hope so. Somehow though, I don't think it's going to make much difference to many out there who continue to get abuse over the net. What do you think?
The full content of the article referred to in my reference to Kathy Sierra above can be found here.
Another good article for anyone interested in reading further about this topic is located at The Guardian.

In the beautiful city of Churu in Rajasthan, stayed a lovely couple who were in their early-sixties. Ratan, the husband had retired from his government job and now planned to happily live with his wife, Sita in their beautiful house that they had built with love from their life-long savings. Prior to moving in to their house they decided to visit their only daughter who was married and settled in the nearby city of Sardarshahr.
They had a blissful family time at their daughter's abode. They returned after a month to their new home. To their shock and horror, it was seized by a local goon Pratap, who refused to vacate their property. They begged and pleaded him to leave their house but he refused to budge. They sought the help of the police too but Pratap had forged the legal documents in his name. Police feared him too.
One night, Ratan and Sita sat outside their new home crying at their destiny. Casper, a ghost was out on a stroll. He stopped by when he heard the wailing sounds. He peeped through a tree beside the house to listen to their conversation. He heard the old couple cursing their bad luck and crying at what Pratap had done to them.
Casper, the friendly ghost decided to help them come out of this trouble. He appeared before the couple who seemed to have been frightened all the more now seeing a ghost in front of them. As they were about to run, fearing that their house was now haunted too, Casper stopped them. He requested to hear him out once. Though scared they yet stopped to hear him out. He told them he had heard their conversation and promised to help them.
It was summers, so that night, Pratap went to sleep at the rooftop balcony. He placed his portable cot and instantly fell asleep. As the sun spread its sunshine, Pratap woke up and was horrified to see his surroundings. He found himself sleeping on his bed in his room downstairs. How was this possible? He went out of his room to check his surroundings but found no foul play. He went to the rooftop balcony and found that the cot was in its place. He thought probably it was a dream that he had slept upstairs. Casper smiled to himself.
The next night, Pratap slept in his room and to his horror found himself sleeping on the rooftop the following morning. He ran outside the house screaming "Ghost! Ghost!" Casper cheerfully patted himself on his back.
The third night, Pratap decided to stay awake and see who is playing a trick with him. He fought hard to stay awake. As the clock struck 2am, the doors to his room closed with a thud and bolted itself from outside automatically. Pratap rose to his feet in horror shouting, "who is there?" The lights in the room began to flicker. Pratap ran towards the door and tried to open it crying for help but the doors were closed from the outside. Casper appeared behind me. Pratap was petrified to see a ghost. He begged Casper to let him go. Casper threatened Pratap with dire consequences if he did not vacate the house. Pratap responded saying he would immediately return the house to its owner.
Pratap ran straight to the old couple saying he was extremely sorry for his misdeeds and gave them their house back. The old couple thanked Casper for his help and happily moved in their new home and lived happily ever after.

As tired as I am, sleep has evaded me for the past 4 hours. I've tried meditating and listening to relaxing music to combat the tinnitus, but I'm wide awake. My feet have a burning type sensation that is pretty painful and keeping me awake, this happened last night too but I managed to fall asleep.- my back is so tight it is very painful too - even though I had chiropractor at it earlier, and it did feel relieved for a few hours.
What is happening to me? I feel like the fibro symptoms are getting worse. Is it just the tiredness?

Torta de Pasta with Mushroom Sugo and Duck Confit2017-07-24
- Cuisine: Mediterranean, Type: Appetizer, Baked, Entrée, Product Line: Barilla ProteinPLUS®, Barilla® Traditional Semolina, Barilla® Whole Grain
Torta de Pasta can be endlessly varied with other vegetables and cheeses than those used here. This version features sundried tomatoes to add depth under a rich sauce of sauteed mushrooms and duck confit. Kale yogurt sauce and hearty greens balance the other flavors. As served at the 2017 Greystone Flavor Summit leadership conference.
Step 1
Cook the Barilla® pasta for half the time indicated on the package. Drain pasta and drizzle with some olive oil to prevent from sticking. Toss with the sundried tomatoes. Place pasta flat on sheet trays or hotel pans and cool in a blast chiller. Alternatively, cool it down in a walk-in cooler. Store in zip lock bags or sealed plastic container; refrigerate and use within several hours.
Step 2
Whisk together the eggs, Parmesan, fontina, salt and pepper.
Step 3
For each torta: In a 9 1/2-inch nonstick pans, heat 1 Tbsp butter and 1 Tbsp oil. Add 4 cups spaghetti and tomatoes to the skillet and pour in 1 1/4 cups egg mixture. Press to form an even layer and cook until the bottom is golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Broil until the top is golden brown and let cool slightly. Cut into 4 wedges. Make 5 more tortas in the same way.
Step 4
Make the sugo: In a wide pan, heat oil to coat the bottom and cook a single layer of mushrooms until seared and browned. Season with salt and pepper and remove. Repeat with more oil and mushrooms until they are all caramelized.
Step 5
In the same pan, saute the shallots and garlic with more oil until translucent. Stir in the tomato paste and cook until browned. Stir in the thyme and bay leaves. Deglaze with the wine and reduce by 3/4.
Step 6
Add the stock and bring to a simmer. Stir in the mushrooms and simmer under reduced by half and the mushroom flavor is pronounced. Remove the bay leaves and stir in the parsley, duck confit, greens, and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 7
In a small bowl, stir together the kale pesto and yogurt.
Step 8
For each serving, to order: Soft poach one egg. Reheat a wedge of torta and top it with 1/4 cup mushroom sugo. Top with the poached egg and drizzle with kale pesto yogurt and extra-virgin olive oil.
- 3 lb. Barilla Spaghetti
- 3 cups chopped oil-packed sundried tomatoes
- 24 eggs
- 3 Tbsp salt
- 1 Tbsp black pepper

Digital-rights groups and bloggers have heaped criticism on Facebook's changes to its privacy policy, reports the BBC. Critics said the changes were unwelcome and "nudged" people toward sharing updates with the wider web, making them findable via search engines. The changes were introduced Dec. 9 via a pop-up that asked users to update their privacy settings. Facebook said the changes help members manage updates they want to share, not trick them into revealing too much. "Facebook is nudging the settings toward the 'disclose everything' position," said Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center. "That's not fair from the privacy perspective." Facebook began testing the privacy changes during mid-2009 before introducing them site-wide. The changes let people decide who should see updates, whether all 350 million Facebook members should see them, and if they should be viewable across the web. Privacy advocates criticized a decision to make Facebook users' gender and location viewable by everyone. Jason Kincaid, writing on the Tech Crunch news blog, said some of the changes were made to make Facebook more palatable to search sites such as Bing and Google. Barry Schnitt, a Facebook spokesman, said users could avoid revealing some information to non-friends by leaving gender and location fields blank. He said the changes to privacy make it easier to tune the audience for an update or status change, so default settings of openness should have less impact. "Any suggestion that we're trying to trick them into something would work against any goal that we have," said Schnitt…

Honestly, that title has nothing to do with anything in this post, except for the fact I am looking at a box of them on my desk right now. And I may be a little high on a pain pill. More on that in a second, but I really didn't want to title this: FUCK YOU FRIDAY I HATE YOU AND I HOPE YOU DIE A HORRIBLE DEATH!
So, I chose that.
Man, today…
Today has been one of those days that you don't even dare ask if it could get any worse. Because, it probably can, so just shut your mouth and be thankful the house hasn't burned down…yet.
Today (in no particular order) I:
Was almost assassinated by one of my two cats.
My car gave up on life (3 times, two of them being while I was TRYING to be out and about).
My dog tried to assassinate me.
My jacket got stuck in the hood of my car while it was closed and I couldn't get it out of there, so I had to wait for someone to walk by and pop my hood for me.
Thirty one pounds of dog food found itself free in the backseat of my dying car.
The bitch at the bank was a bitch.
I broke my favorite coffee mug.
The store I could finally make it to is apparently the ONLY ONE of that chain in my area to not sell any kind of alcohol. Unless we count rubbing, and I don't. I'm not that far down the road. Today tested me though, I almost considered it.
I dropped and broke the only bottle of Snapple Apple juice I could find at the 3 stores I went to.
The homeless guy at the gas station grabbed my ass.
Okay, so, the assassination attempts:
First, my cat decided that he was going to dart right under my foot as I was stepping down my very concrete, very hard steps. Because on any other day, I like my cat, I decided to try and not step on him. Which meant that my foot went off the edge and I slid/fell down my steps. Right onto my ankle that has been fractured once, broken twice, and twisted more times than I can count.
That was an adventure.
The assassination attempt by my wonderful dog, Sampson, happened a little later on. Usually I take him outside on an extendable leash that is easy to let go of if I need to.
I basically live in the woods, with no real busy road too close to me, so settle down on the "let go" part of that. In case you were about to get in your feelings with that.
Anyways, today I used a shorter leash and I wrapped it around my wrist because he gets super excited as we are going out the door.
Today would be the day that a new stray cat felt the need to visit my yard. Today would be the day that Sampson actually saw new stray cat.
Today would be the day that I couldn't get my wrist out of the leash fast enough. So, today was the day that Sampson damn near yanked my arm out of its socket and pulled me face first into the sidewalk. Silver lining? No scratches on my face. Just on my arm.
Today was also the day that I wished a hole would open up in the ground and swallow my dog and that damn stupid fucking stray ass cat whole.
That is why I am currently high on a pain pill and naming blog posts after Valentine candy.
Another adventure.
I zenned and powered through any pain from my earlier assassination attempt. But after the last one, I decided that maybe I needed to just take the pill. I'm strong, but I'm not a goddamned rock.
My car can suck an unbelievably huge dick right now.
My jacket was the only thing I was wearing on top, so I couldn't just climb out of my jacket in the parking lot of the bank. Which is exactly what I told the nice man that came to my aid with the hood of my car when he looked at me like I was a psychopath.
The homeless guy was annoying and I slapped the shit out of him with my bag after he grabbed my ass. Mainly because I was just too done to do anything else.
Then when I got home, finally, I tried to pick up this heavy ass bag of dog food…and what do you know? I was the lucky customer that got the bag that was torn open at the top. So guess who got to pick up thirty one pounds of dog food by hand, in the dark, with no inside car light because her goddamned battery or car or something is stupid and dead.
BUT, this week has been a real good week for me in music.
Rihanna FINALLY released ANTI. Been waiting a whole damn year for this. And while there are some songs on there I don't care for, there are way more that I can't get enough of.
J. Cole released the live version of his Forest Hills Drive album, which was recorded when he came back home to Fayetteville, NC. Also the place that he recorded his HBO documentary and concert.
Zayn Malik, formerly of OneDirection, released a surprisingly fucking good single last night, Pillow Talk. Like really good.
Sia released her new album, This Is Acting. It is an album full of songs that she had pitched for other artists and were rejected. If you don't know much about Sia, or her music, Google her. You may be surprised at all the songs she has had a hand in over the course of the last handful of years.
Kanye West and Wiz Khalifa had some fun Twitter arguments.
And I was finally able to find a good replacement copy of one of Aaliyah's albums that they don't sell anywhere, any more.
So, I hope everyone has had a great week. Watch out for assassin's, they are everywhere.
P.S. Snapple Apple juice is the truth and the light, and I am extremely heartbroken that I broke the only bottle I could find.

So my man had to be up very early this morning, and oddly as it sounds the topic of conversation this morning turned to romance. Specifically I made the mistake of saying "why don't you try being as romantic as your sister". Silly comment I know but I was trying to make a point that one of them in the family seemed to get all the romantic genes and the other not so much. haha
So he responded with the typical "most men are not romantic" "only a very small percentage of men are". Something I really don't buy and think is a total cop out by most men, because romance is quite easy it just requires some deeper thinking. I know quite a few men who have no problems expressing their romantic sides in cards, letters, little gifts, planning romantic getaways, dinners, dates,or other such moments. Definitely have guy friends that defy the stereo type.
Basically I would say he has an overall pessimistic attitude toward romance or what I like to call the macho dude syndrome. (which we see plenty on tv commercials....for example the guy staring at beer cans,obviously to the candles, flowers and lingerie clad wife waiting for love) And though we like to paint men like that, I'd like to think that there are more romantics than not out there? Maybe? ; )
So I'm curious has romance become a lost art? Are most men or women not romantic? Yeah somedays it does feel like overall our society has gotten away from the good ole fashion ways of romance such as courting And we seem to hear about the negative stories more than the positive. We don't hear about the couples who are still romancing each other after 50 years together, we hear about the weaklings who have no hearts and can't devote their penis to one woman.
Having said that though, I do hear stories from couples who exchange cards, love notes, plan date nights, still enjoy frequent love, and overall make a point to work at maintaining romance. Which make me feel romance is still quite alive and thriving. But then again that's because those couples put effort and work into creating and maintaining it. Romance is just like anything else it takes work, practice,love and lots of creativity.
Okay now that I've gone off on a tangent, here upon lies the question....are most people romantic or is it really just a small percentage of people?
Let's ponder this some more if you don't mind. Is your partner (man or woman) romantic? What does romance mean to you? How do you or your partner express your romantic feelings or love for one another? Do you feel woman are overall more romantic than men?
Email, post a comment, whatever but I (we) would love to hear your thoughts! ; )

The world was shocked and horrified when the Taliban shot 14-year-old Pakistani girl Malala Yousafzai, who was determined to stand up for her right to attend school. Of course celebrities have spoken out about Malala. And two of the world's biggest, Angelina Jolie and Madonna, recently came out to defend Malala in their own unique ways. Angelina Jolie, as is her custom, gave money to the cause of educating girls. Madonna ... well. She stuck to her custom, too. She did a striptease.
Angelina said she and her six children want to erect a statue to Malala, and she donated $50,000 for a fund that will be used to help girls receive educations in Malala's home country. Madonna, meanwhile, honored the teen heroine during one of her shows by dancing in a black lace bra and pulling her pants all the way down her to reveal her rock-hard ass.
"A 14-year-old girl was shot in the head for writing a blog about the importance of being educated as a female," Madonna said, revealing Malala's name scrawled on her bare back. She did manage to pull up her pants for this bit.
I guess doing a striptease is one way of drawing attention to Malala's tragic story -- but I think Madonna probably would have drawn more attention to it if she'd, say, put ON some clothes and dedicated that to Malala. The audience seemed more interested in screaming at Madonna than hearing about Malala anyway.
Plus, the song she dedicated, "Human Nature," is about a woman refusing to stifle her sexual fantasies. 'Memba the video? Madonna in a dominatrix outfit cracking a whip long before Fifty Shades was even a gleam in E.L. James' eye. Yeah, not exactly the perfect song for a 14-year-old Islamic girl fighting for her life in a UK hospital.
Angelina's money will hopefully be put to good use in Malala's home country, while Madonna's striptease will be, uh, remembered mostly for her gravity-defying ass.
Do you think dedicating a striptease to Malala was appropriate?

If you want to see how women's lives have changed, just flick through a woman's magazine from the 1960s. Back then says Barbara Scully they obsessed with housework whereas now Irish women are sold glamour, creative careers and charmed lifestyles.
THERE are some real gems of wisdom contained in the displays at 'Modern Life Modern Wife' exhibition which recently opened at the Print Museum, Beggars Bush Barracks in Dublin 4.
The exhibition comprises largely of pages from Irish women's magazines from the 1960s which offer advice on a range of subjects pertinent to the Irish woman of the day.
The real gems however include this brilliant piece from Woman's Way in 1969 — "most housewives get plenty of exercise trotting down to the shops, making the beds and doing out the rooms — but never, never slop around the house without wearing a girdle and a good bra. Keeping up with yourself is good for the morale if nothing else."
.@JillianvT opening the #modernlifemodernwife exhibition. And making some disturbing comments abt how women are portrayed in mags today— Barbara Scully (@barbarascully) July 1, 2015
I am still pondering what exactly "keeping up with yourself" means and what it has to do with wearing a bra, unless of course one is in danger of leaving one's breasts behind oneself as one trots along to the shops.
The advice comes not only from the writers in these magazines but also from readers.
Here is what Mr J McA from Dublin had to say in Women's Way of June 1963. "I married a girl I saw for the first time while she was sewing buttons on an old shirt. Men get inspiration from seeing their future wives doing the necessary things of life". I wonder did Mr J McA's marriage last.
The curator of 'Modern Life Modern Wife' is Ciara Meehan, a senior lecturer in history at the University of Hertfordshire.
She explains the inspiration for this exhibition came from finding a copy of her grandmother's 'Marriage Manual' from 1938 in her parent's attic.
"It got me thinking about the representation and expectations of women and how this might have changed over time but particularly in the 1960s which was such a decade of change."
The exhibition is divided into various sections looking at themes such as 'Beauty and Presentation', 'New Technologies' and 'Women Who Work'.
Some fascinating exhibits at @ModWifeExhibit in the @NatPrintMuseum. Thanks for the tour, @CA_Meehan. pic.twitter.com/10xc209oBq— Catherine Healy (@Chealy_) July 1, 2015
I wondered if Ciara had made any surprising discoveries as she put the material together.
"Advice about sex and intimacy, while not explicit, was talking about the woman enjoying and finding pleasure in sex. And telling women that it wasn't their duty to satisfy their husbands, but that they should be equal in the relationship".
When placed in the context of the Ireland of the day where the concept of consent was not recognised within marriage, where sex education was non-existent, this was indeed radical advice.
Technologies played a huge role in changing the life of women in the 1960s and the exhibition is full of ads for electric cookers, strange looking hairdryers and of course the appliance that had the biggest impact on women's lives — the fridge freezer which led to the weekly, as opposed to the daily, shop and supermarkets.
The pages of the magazines also illustrate the debate among women about whether their role was in the home or out in paid employment.
Letters to the publications show that some women even went as far as to suggest that if a woman worked her husband would not have the same level of home comforts and so could well wander. Other women felt it a waste of their skills to stay in the home.
My Modern Wife, Modern Life exhibition, a look at women in 1960s Ireland, opens today at @NatPrintMuseum #modwife pic.twitter.com/hknZSfasfQ— Ciara Meehan (@CA_Meehan) July 1, 2015
One of the most compelling exhibits is a letter from the Guardian Assurance Company to a Miss Cunniffe offering her the post on the permanent clerical staff of the company. Setting out a salary of £420 per annum and a probationary period of six months, the letter also states rather starkly that the position will be "terminated automatically by your marriage".
The exhibition however does confirm that Irish women's magazines in the 1960s placed women firmly within the home, being a modern wife, leading a modern life with all her new gadgets.
Opening the exhibition Senator Jillian Van Turnhout told the audience how she decided to pay a visit to Eason's to see what messages are carried in today's Irish and international women's magazines.
She recapped what she had found — "Fifty, fit and flirty", "How to shift that stubborn baby weight", "Science validates correlation between hair length and relationship length", "Bikini ready in seven days" and reported that she found "enough instructive material that I could re-write the Karma Sutra".
Senator Van Turnhout wondered had women really moved on or have we merely moved from the kitchen to the bedroom, asking "are Irish women destined to be subjected to some form or other of commercial pressure forever?"

Montreal (March 23, 2007)- In a new Angus Reid Strategies survey, 77 percent of Canadians responding say they're convinced global warming is occurring. The online survey, billed as Canada's largest climate change study, found 69 per cent of respondents think global warming estimates are backed by "real science."
Nearly half- 47 percent- said they believe climate change will significantly affect their lives and those of future generations. Angus Reid Strategies' researcher Ellie Sykes said global warming was a top concern along with healthcare for Canadians.
The survey covered 3,600 people and was conducted from March 6 to March 19.
