Women's Digital League
empowering Pakistani Women since 2008.
Women's Digital League is a social enterprise providing digital services to clients, proudly owned and powered by Pakistani women. It is working for economic development of the country by mobilizing a vast dormant workforce which is either discouraged from working outside or has trouble finding work opportunities.
There is a huge dormant workforce comprising of educated, skilled women who for various reasons cannot work outside their homes. Women make up 51% of Pakistan's population and 59% of them between the age of 18 and 27 are educated. Girls in remote areas are given education by NGOs but they don't have work opportunities and hence not enough incentive to study.

It's always interesting to see what your peers are doing in their classes, but what about after graduation when the real work starts? I spoke with Mia Wright-Ross, a recent graduate from the Fashion Design program and current shoe designer for Calvin Klein, about her time at Parsons, what she's been up to since graduating a year ago, and her advice to new students.
Lauren Davis: Hey Mia, thanks again for the interview! So, with all the different design schools out there, why did you decide on Parsons?
Mia Wright-Ross: I come from a fine arts background, which is what I concentrated on throughout high school, and thought maybe I should get into design. After I did some research I found Parsons to be the best place for fashion design since it is ranked as one of the top design schools. Also, finding out that Calvin Klein, Marc Jacobs, and other talented designers attended Parsons helped because I figured the faculty must be doing something right!
LD: What is one of your best memories while at Parsons?
MWR: The first 3 years went by so fast – they are kind of a blur. I would say some of my best memories came from my senior year. I can remember one in particular during March or April of senior year: I was working on my thesis one Saturday at school and was so stressed out because it was crunch time and everything was due in May. One of my friends saw me visibly distressed and while we were in one of the empty classrooms, she put on some Beyonce, and we just forgot about everything and had a dance session in the middle of the room. We danced on top of the tables and on all of our patterns! What I loved about senior year is that you really get to know and bond with the people in your class and that camaraderie is something that I will never forget.
LD: Since graduation, what have you been up to?
MWR: I currently work for Jimlar Corporation, a company that designs and manufactures footwear for brands such as Coach and Calvin Klein. I am a shoe designer for the Calvin Klein division.
LD: That's awesome! How did you land that position?
MWR: I interned for Jimlar right after graduation. I was offered the position because a teacher I had mentioned my name to someone who worked there, and they happened to be at the Parsons Senior Fashion Show where I was nominated for Designer of the Year. They remembered my name and then called to offer me an internship, which was paid. I was later offered a permanent position in the company this past November.
LD: Did you have any other internships while in school?
MWR: I interned at Converse the summer before my senior year, which was a great experience. I also did an internship at Talbots. I liked to do a variety of internships with small designers, but also big corporate companies as well. I always interned while at Parsons because I knew once I was done with school and in the real world, I was going to have to multi-task with a million different things, so I figured I should start getting used to the juggling.
LD: When did you realize you wanted to get into shoe design?
MWR: I've always been into accessories, handbags, shoes, everything. Anytime I would design, I would always put an entire look together and not just design the pieces by themselves. During the end of my junior year is when I realized I wanted to do shoes. I love the product design element that goes into the design process, and I also like that they are bit sculptural, three-dimensional, and include a little bit of science and mathematics.
LD: Would you like to share any advice based on your own experiences for current as well as incoming Parsons students?
MWR: Now that I'm working I would definitely say don't hold back. Don't edit yourself; get out every creative thing you've ever dreamt about. What I loved about Parsons is that you could interact with students from other departments. I think it's great to see how other divisions can help push forward your own designs. Foundation year is a great time to explore whatever you want, and I definitely think it helped in grounding me and my design mind. Also, while it's great to follow guidelines given for a project, don't be afraid to think outside of the parameters given. Professors at Parsons love when you can take what they have given you and interpret it in your own way. Don't be afraid to leave a part of yourself in whatever you do!
Huge thanks to Mia for sharing some of her experiences and work! Catch up with Mia and view more of her work here!

J & J Development, Inc. Custom Homes was established in 1989, but the building experience of Josef Zyskind and John Finch extends back over 50 years.
J & J's reputation for quality was built on hard work, top notch construction standards, long standing relationships with subcontractors and vendors and personal service before, during and after the sale.
The construction process can be an overwhelming experience for many without the proper guidance. John and Joe look forward to helping people make this process as understandable and seamless as possible.
J & J personally schedule and supervise all construction activity and inspect every jobsite daily. This allows us to maintain the highest level of quality control and responsiveness to the decisions that are made every day.
Building quality custom homes goes beyond the sticks and bricks of construction. New technologies and energy efficient products have become an integral part of today's building process. At J & J we have been incorporating many of these building practices long before they became popular or required. As energy costs continue to increase, these elements of construction are as important as any component in your new home. These features will only add to the value, efficiency and long terms savings you will enjoy in the years to come.
Josef Zyskind moved from Germany in the early 1950's to realize a better life for his wife and family. His uncompromising spirit of integrity is reflected in every home he has built. The dedication and respect that exists between his workforce, vendors and himself is mutual. Joe does not entertain outside bids for the sake of cutting costs or building less of a home. Along with his residential business, Joe has constructed several multi-family and commercial projects throughout the greater San Antonio area. Additionally, he has remodeled numerous homes for past and present clientele.
John Finch began his career after college in industrial sales. Shortly thereafter in 1979, he was presented with an opportunity to join Joe, his father-in-law, in the home building business. After 30 plus years together you could say that he has found his niche. John will consult with you in every aspect of your project. This includes site evaluation, plan development and construction supervision. His understanding of the business along with his patience and organizational skills help to ease much of the anxiety and confusion that can be a part of this business. He welcomes and encourages open lines of communication throughout the building process.

The Career Doctor responds:
Find ways to share information with them that is not necessarily about you but will interest them. Send your contacts clippings of articles that will be of interest to them with a sticky note attached that says "Saw this article and thought of you." If your company produces publications that would be of interest to your contacts have them placed on the subscription list. Let them know of events they might be interested in attending. Consider sending amusing cartoons you've clipped or even photos.
After you've met a new contact you can send a quick postcard to mention how much you enjoyed meeting him or her. Make it a picture postcard of a local site and you can make an inexpensive yet memorable impression.
For someone who has been helpful beyond your wildest dreams a grand gesture such as sending flowers or a lunch invitation would not be out of line. Send holiday and birthday cards. You'll really impress people if you can pick up on a mention of when their birthday is from casual conversation. They'll be amazed that you remembered their special day and sent a card.

Wired and under recovered
Pre-workouts are a craze because it's easy. It takes minimal effort to use and it seems to give you endless energy. Take two scoops of this and feel amazing. Train harder than you ever did before, have complete focus and who can forget the mind blowing and skin tearing pump.
Let me say this, before I go further into this topic. I'm not against pre-workouts. I'm against misusing it. I believe it can work but it has a time, place and a frequency of use. Currently people overuse Pre workouts like drug addicts. When one dose doesn't work anymore, use more. When one brand doesn't work, find a stronger one, and the cycle continues.
Let's stop for a moment and break things down….
What is a pre workout?
Pre-workout supplementation is designed to:
· Improve performance
· Decrease muscle breakdown during training
· Improve energy and focus
· Increase metabolic rate (fat burning)
Some of these are valid and would be a good idea to incorporate into your pre-workout nutrition. The biggest problem lies in your "energy and focus" part of the equation. It boils down to having a drink full of stimulants to get you all jacked up and hyper before training, but are the side effects worth it. More importantly is this the best way to get results.
Why do we need to take pre-workouts? Because we're tired, can't focus, we need energy after a long day. These are valid reasons, but are pre-workouts the right answer? Pre workouts are a short term solution. If you have an energy problem, look at your recovery and lifestyle first.
Under Recovered much?
The Truth is most people don't need pre-workouts they just need better habits. People don't focus enough on recovery. What is easier take two scoops and go ape shit, crash after your session and repeat the next day OR Train hard, eat enough of the right foods, drink enough water and get enough sleep. A few minutes of work versus a lifestyle change. Most people take the easy choice. The hard choice benefits you in the long run and the results are not immediate.
Training to reach your goals can be simple, but don't mistake simple for easy. Recovery is simple but hard to do.
Your body regenerates and adapts to the stress from training. When you are at rest. If you don't give yourself the right resources: food, sleep, relaxation. Your recovery will be incomplete. You'll still feel tired, drained, and you'll lack motivation to train. Then what do you do? … Pre workouts.
There might be times where you just can't get enough sleep. Yes a pre-workout can help, but sorting out your lifestyle to get more sleep is better for you in the long run.
I'm not saying there won't be times where you feel like crap even though your recovery is on point. Rather tough it out and push through. If you still struggle, use a pre-workout for that one really tough session in the week, not all of them. For the people who are experiencing a busier time due to work. For the student athlete who is studying for exams but still has to keep up a training schedule. For them, for a short period of time using a pre- workout to keep the training going could be an option. Don't be depend on a stimulant to fuel your training
The key take home is this:
· Look at your lifestyle and recovery first
· Pre-workouts are a short term solution and should be used intermittently
· You don't need ridiculous doses of stimulants. A cup of coffee also counts as a pre-workout
Use it for your hardest session in the week, not every session.
Note: If you're under the age of 18 you should not be touching a pre-workout. You should be recovering enough. If you feel tired from training eat better and get more sleep. You do not need to take excessive amounts of stimulants.

The Ashland University volleyball team ran its season-opening winning streak to six on Friday (Sept. 8) with a pair of four-set wins over Pittsburg State and Christian Brothers at the Middle of Everywhere Tournament in Rolla, Mo. The event is hosted by Missouri S&T.
It is the first time since 2004 the Eagles have started the season with a 6-0 record. They will have the opportunity to get to eight in a row on Saturday (Sept. 9) with matches against host Missouri S&T (10:30 a.m. ET) and a to-be-determined team (time TBA).
Ashland def. Pittsburg State – 25-21, 20-25, 25-21, 25-19
While the Eagles never hit below .282 in their first four matches of the season at the Quality Inn Ashland University Tournament, the Pittsburg State Gorillas cooled off the Eagles' offense.
AU hit .226 in the match, but it didn't matter as the Eagles held Pitt State to a .167 hitting average.
The Eagles trailed the first set of the match by five, 16-11, before racking up six straight points with junior defensive specialist Kaitlin Bean on the serve to take a 17-16 lead. The Eagles would go on for the win after a PSU attacking error.
After dropping the second set, the Eagles never trailed in the third and fourth frames to secure the win.
Sophomore outside hitter Shelby Woycik led the attackers with a double-double of 21 kills and 12 digs while hitting .208. Junior middle Reanne Neal and redshirt-sophomore middle Michaela Ping added 11 kills apiece. Sophomore middle/outside Sophi Cudworth added up nine kills.
Senior libero Melanie Aguayo led the back row with 17 digs and freshman defensive specialist McKinley Smith dug out 13 attacks. Junior setter Kayla Pfeiffer recorded 45 assists.
Noelle Dooley led the Gorillas (2-3) with 15 kills (.430) and Lauren Maisberger had a match-high 20 digs.
Ashland def. Christian Brothers – 25-23, 25-23, 23-25, 25-20 (Box Score)
The Eagles never trailed in the first set against the Bucs (3-3) and fought off a late rally to sustain a 25-23 win. Woycik broke a 23-23 tie with a kill to take the Eagles to set point before Neal pounded a service ace to get the win.
Again in the second, the Bucs rallied late to get within one point on multiple occasions, but Ping knocked down a kill on set point to give AU a 2-0 lead.
After dropping a close third set, Ashland trailed Set 4, 14-11, before scoring five straight points to take a 16-14 lead with Smith serving. AU maintained the lead the rest of the way.
Woycik led the team with 19 kills and three aces while hitting .250. She also added 13 digs. Neal tucked away eight kills, hitting .500 with three aces and three blocks. Cudworth had nine kills (.238) as the Eagles hit .281 as a team.
Four players were in double figures in digs, led by Smith's 14. Bean and Aguayo had 13 digs each. Freshman setter Kalie Apelt dished out a team-leading 30 assists and had four kills and four digs without committing a hitting error.
Emma Lenoir led the Bucs with 19 kills, but Ashland limited her to a .158 hitting percentage.

Hi ladies just wanting to hear some stories about tooth extraction because I am well and truly freaking out. I have been ignoring a hole in one of my molars for a while now (yes Im an idiot ). Over time the hole has gotten bigger but only in the last 2 weeks has it been causing dramas. I feel like I am majorly paying for ignoring it for so long. Anyway I am in absolute agony and have booked a doctors appointment for this afternoon to get help with the pain until I get into a dentist because panadiene just Isnt cutting it.
So anyway to the point: I am booked into the dentist for next Tuesday and will need to get this tooth pulled for sure. But Im terrified of the dentist and I have never had a tooth pulled. I saw a program on tv where a woman had a few teeth pulled and it scarred me for life
Please tell me what the actual process is on the day.
What pain relief they might have.
Is it extremely painful when being pulled out or is it a gross tugging feeling?
What did you do to prepare yourself if you were freaking out?
Was it as bad as you thought it was going to be?
I should also mention Im 8 weeks pregnant and my first ultrasound is a few hours before the extraction Its going to be a sad day if the ultrasound doesn't go well.
Sorry for my ramblings just very terrified and feeling extremely sorry for myself.
Please share your stories

I have had three wisdom teeth and one molar extracted without any problems at all, and just recently (Tuesday) my last wisdom tooth extracted and it seems to have really knocked me around. I've been feeling bone-weary tired every time I get up, and the teeth adjacent that had pressure on them during the extraction still ache.
But being pregnant is a real problem. When I was just pregnant I went to the dentist with a tiny cavity in a wisdom tooth, and was told that because I was pregnant they couldn't take Xrays so wanted to wait until after I had the baby before filling it.
Well, as the pregnancy progressed, the tiny divit became more and more of a hole until it felt like 1/3 of the tooth was missing. I was seven months pregnant and had been unable to sleep for a week due to the pain so decided I couldn't wait any longer and had to go back to have it dealt with.
At that stage the tooth was too far gone, and the only feasible option was an extraction - but without an Xray because I was still pregnant. They got me to sign these informed consent forms to say that I was aware that the extraction could cause:
* premature labour because I was pregnant, and/or
* permanent nerve damage since they didn't have an Xray to refer to.
After the extraction I went home and slept. When I awoke I still couldn't feel my two front teeth but feeling had returned to the rest of my mouth. I thought, uh-oh, that's the permanent nerve damage I was warned about. But a few hours later the anesthetic wore off in that area as well and full feeling returned.
So there were no ill effects and I was fine.

Tooth Extraction
From what I understand, and I could be wrong, what they will do will be decide if the tooth will be pulled, or if you'll have a root canal and a filling; I don't know which one but the process of numbing will probably be similar
First they will apply a numbing gel to the gum so that you won't feel the local anasthetic needle as badly. They will inject the gum in a couple of places to numb the gum and the nerve root. This will take a few minutes to take effect. The important thing here is to stay calm, stay still, and focus on something else. The more fuss you put up, the longer this process takes and the more it will hurt.
Then if its an extraction, they will use the pincers to pull the tooth. You might feel a tugging sensation. It will not hurt. You are numbed. Depending on the size of the hole, they might put in a stitch after they insert a small antibiotic tab thing. They might not stitch.
A root canal is a much longer process and I don't know exactly what they do, but you will be numb.
After an hour or so, the local will wear off and you'll be allowed to eat if you want.
I had a tooth pulled a few years ago, and my boyfriend did just before Xmas, and we survived. You'll be ok OP.

Tooth Extraction
Op I can give you the general run down. I have always worked in the dental field.
When you arrive you need to tell them you are expecting.
They may want to take an X-ray but don't panic you get more radiation when flying on a plane then you do from a tooth X-ray.
They will sit you down in the chair and ask you if you are on any medications etc (repeat that your pregnant).
They will check the tooth and yes probe it to be sure it needs to be removed (may hurt a little) they will give you your options (extraction or root canal therapy) you are much better off keeping the tooth if you can afford too, many offer payment plans too. If you choose to extract you not only loose that tooth but the use of the tooth below or above it. So like loosing 2 important teeth to chew. The choice however is yours and yours only.
Then they will numb you up using a bit of numbing gel and then the needle (don't panic it is really quite a small needle but the apparatus looks rather large) they will use an appropriate anaesthetic that doesn't contain adrenalin (because your pregnant) it will be citinest or scandonest 3ml.
They may rub your cheek to help hurry up the anaesthetic, very rarely do they need to add more anaesthetic but if your tooth is in the stage of dying they can be very very hard to numb.
Whilst its numbing and you rinse your mouth (anaesthetic is not such a pleasant taste) they will explain how to care for the area once tooth is removed. Happy to give you all the info also.
They will then use two instruments if its a general extraction, one that helps to leave and the other to actually pull the tooth out. You shouldn't feel any pain just discomfort (pulling feeling, squelching noise etc) if you feel any stinging at all let the dentist know.
Then the tooth is out. The whole process usually only takes up to 15 mins so pretty quick.
Then you pay lol.
Also I would pop into your dentist today and ask for a script of antibiotics and pain relief if its very painful to kill the infection you have. They will likely give you metronitizole (flagyl) and amoxil. Two antibiotics which do to different jobs. Also some pain relief. Sometimes the drs give you a certain drug but its not quite right for what you need. GP's don't obviously have the same knowledge as a dentist when it comes to these things and I have seen the wrong advice given multiple times. The dentist should happily give you a script (again remind them you are pregnant)
Any other questions feel free to ask. Even afterwards. Follow the care instructions given well as you do not want a dry socket (more painful then your current tooth ache by far)

Tooth Extraction
Being pregnant could be an issue as I don't know what anaesthetics can be used and as PP said they won't be able to do an x-ray.
In saying that though I have had a total of 12 teeth pulled in my lifetime and none of them was a drama. All bar wisdom teeth were done in the chair which involves a numbing gel rubbed on the gum a couple of injections of anaesthetic (I have a high tolerance so need more than normal) then the dentist will poke your gums to make sure there is no feeling then the tooth gets yanked. There is no pain associated but being a molar you will most likely feel pressure on your jawbone. Afterwards when the anaesthetic wears off there will be mild pain but nothing a couple of nurofen won't help.

Tooth Extraction
Happy to give you all the info on root canal also if you like.
I have worked for many dentists and have worked on many pregnant women. It really isn't an issue more and old wives tale. They don't like to work on a pregnant lady in 3rd trimester as the mother to be need to lie back on her back for work to be done. Anaesthetics are safe and yes no radiation is good but its very little that actually comes from a tooth X-ray. I also have never heard of premature birth being caused from dental work. It is true though about the nerve and if it is close to the mandibular nerve then they will get written consent from you. This generally only applies to wisdom teeth.
I'm a qualified dental nurse with almost 10years experience and have worked for many dentists and have 3 dentists in my immediate family. If that makes you feel more confident with what I say

Re: Tooth Extraction
Honestly thank you so much ladies for your lengthy replies I really appreciate it. I think its the fear of the unknown but I know I really have to just calm down Im only making it worse for myself. Thanks again
24-01-2013 13:22 #8
Purple Lily, I'm by no means scared of the Dentist, however I do understand your anxiety and apprehension about a tooth extraction when you've never had one before. I had to have a tooth extracted before my orthodontic commenced and I too was pregnant. I was a little apprehensive about the 'unknown'.
I think I was pleasantly surprised by how 'quick' the process was, in that by the time my brain registered my tooth was being pulled, it was out. I will admit it was a bit icky when I heard the 'crunching' type sound of the tooth as it was being pulled, but it truly was over and done with very quickly. I managed to get by with some panadol (because I was pregnant) and strictly adhered to the Dentist's instructions with the guaze etc and everything was fine.
You will be fine.

Since a root canal was mentioned, I thought I would give some more information about that also.
I am in Queensland and qualify for public dental treatment. I had a filling fall out and the tooth was extremely painful. There are two local public dental hospitals to me, and both have different practices for taking emergency patients. One you need to arrive prior to 8am and if you are one of the first eight to arrive then you will get seen. The other requires you to ring at 8am and if they've had any cancellations that day they'll give you an appointment - but I've never had any luck with them.
At that point in time I was not able to go to the walk-in one because I needed to get children off to school. I also didn't have a home phone, so it was a big drama for me to drop the children at school early and go to a public phone box. As usual they said they didn't have any cancellations that day and to call again tomorrow. I explained the difficulty I had in calling and she offered me an appointment in three weeks time.
Due to the high level of pain I was concerned that damage from waiting three weeks would be extensive, so I went around all the private dentists in the area to try and see someone immediately, deciding that I just had to wear the cost because it was important. Even that wasn't easy, and I found only one dentist that could get me in in two days time - the rest were at least a week wait.
So I went in two days time, by which time the tooth had stopped hurting. The dentist informed me that was because the tooth had died. She did the preparation work for a root canal and put a temporary patch on so that it would be okay to wait the three weeks until my public dental appointment. I think that appointment cost $180 and I got a quote for $500 for the rest of the root canal if I had continued to go privately. The dentist told me if I went to the public dental they should continue with the root canal since it had been started, but if I went there straight off they probably would've simply done an extraction.
I did go to the public dental appointment and they did continue with the root canal, doing the first root immediately and giving me appointments for the second root and the final cap. It was a real shock to my system and I didn't feel competent to drive for two days afterwards. Then I got a phone call postponing the appointment for the final cap by a month because the dentist was sick.
Unfortunately during that time, I was eating a nectarine and a fragment of the stone came away and I bit down on it with that tooth. The tooth fractured with a split going right down under the gum line. I tried to see the private dentist but they were closed. This was school holidays now so I was able to go to the walk-in public dentist so went there the following morning.
They were annoyed that I had come to them instead of going back to the other public dentist which had done the root canal. They said that because the fracture went below the gum line, it would require major gum surgery (at a cost of about $4000) to repair and would still be weak and thus likely break again in future and still need to be removed, so they recommended removing straight away, thus I agreed. I asked whether the problem was caused by the final cap not being done yet, and they denied this, saying that a tooth with a root canal is weaker and thus it would've likely broken when biting onto a nectarine stone regardless.
Later I went back to the private dentist to ask again about whether it was the lack of final cap that was a problem. I didn't really get an answer to that, but they were disappointed that my tooth had been removed and said that if I had gone back to them they could've fixed it.
PS: I was not pregnant at the time.
What I am trying to outline from the above ordeal is that if the cost makes it difficult to get a root canal, and you are eligible for public dental you can combine the two to reduce the cost.
I am thinking that when the appointment for the final cap was delayed I should've gone back to the private dentist to finish it off.

Located in the South West of England, Cornwall is well known for its picturesque moorland landscape, stunning coastline and unique cultural identity. Indeed, the region's great natural beauty, combined with its rich history and mild climate, have helped to make it one of the United Kingdom's most popular tourist destinations, attracting approximately five million visitors every year.
Cornwall has countless tourist attractions, sights, festivals and events to keep visitors entertained, as well as numerous accommodation options to choose from. However, for those travelling to the county on holiday, by far the best way to experience the region is by staying in one of its many luxury cottages.
We are able to offer an extensive range of cottages throughout the area, catering to all needs and budgets.
Read More
Cornwall's Coastline
Many of Cornwall's breathtaking beaches serve as major drawing points to the area, attracting swathes of tourists each year, especially during the summer months. In fact, large areas of the Cornish coastline have been officially recognised and protected as 'Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty'.
The sandy coastline in the north of the region includes some of the most popular tourist destinations, like Newquay, Bude and Watergate Bay. Moreover, the town of St Ives was named as the best seaside town by the Guardian newspaper back in 2007 and received the same honour at the British Travel Awards in 2010 and 2011.
A number of the beaches along the south coast are more sheltered, rocky and rugged, with examples including Porthcurno and Fowey. This section of the county, known as the Cornish Riviera, also has a strong fishing culture.
Luxury Cornish Cottages
Whether you are travelling to the area alone, with a partner, as a family, or with a group of friends, we have a range of luxury cottages in Cornwall to choose from, each with their own defining characteristics. These cottages are available on a self catering basis and there are options to suit all demographics and requirements.
Those looking to enjoy a family holiday may be interested in one of the pet and dog friendly options, allowing them to bring their pets with them and save on the cost of kennels or sitters. Meanwhile, couples or groups may be tempted to check out some of the more lavish cottages, such as those with hot tubs or private swimming pools.
Our varied accommodation options are spread throughout the county. This means that some will be best suited to those looking for easy access to the busier towns, like St Austell or Redruth, while others are ideal for those hoping to stay in some of Cornwall's smaller or more remote villages, away from the tourist hotspots.
Places to Visit
Of course, in addition to relaxing in a luxury cottage, visitors to the region will also want to get out and about, spending time in some of Cornwall's towns and villages.
Truro is the only city in Cornwall and it serves as the region's administrative and retail centre. The city contains a number of sites of interest, such as Truro Cathedral, the Royal Cornwall Museum and a large selection of shops, restaurants and pubs.
St Austell is the most populated settlement in Cornwall, and tourists are attracted to the town thanks to its sporting events, public houses and nearby beaches. Some of the region's other popular places to visit are Porthtowan, which is particularly popular amongst surfers, and Porthtowan, home of the 'Obby 'Oss Festival.
The Eden Project, based in St Blazey, is currently Cornwall's most popular tourist destination, attracting as many as one in every eight visitors to the region. The large greenhouse complex is home to art exhibitions, educational facilities and plants collected from all across the globe.
For couples visiting the region, there are few more romantic experiences than a trip to the gorgeous Lost Gardens of Heligan; one of the United Kingdom's most popular botanical gardens. Furthermore, the award winning Newquay Zoo is a sure hit with younger visitors, housing animals ranging from lions and meerkats to penguins and red pandas.
Active-8 Cornwall offers a variety of outdoor activities, such as canoeing, snorkelling, off road driving and paint balling, making it a great choice for school groups, corporate parties and stag or hen weekends. Alternatively, those with a keen interest in history, art and culture may wish to check out the Newquay Steam Railway, or the Barbara Hepworth Museum in St Ives, for examples of quieter, more sophisticated offerings.


text: "For the philosophically and theologically disposed, The Adjustment Bureau is a movie in which not only two lovers, but two forms of determination collide. One form of determination, philosophically speaking, focuses on the human agent's active efforts, by exercise of "free will" (a term with a rich history and thus impossible to define easily), to resist or even to defeat impersonal forces attempting to fix authoritatively the large contours of his or her destiny. The pitiable speaker in Maurice Hare's limerick expresses another form of determination, which we might simply call determinism. This second form expressly rules out the agent's capacity to act by an exercise of free will. Indeed, it asserts (or can assert, because it is also a historical tradition with complex permutations) that we do not have, and never have had, free will. Rather, we are hapless pawns (agents would emphatically be the wrong word)—chess pieces moved around by some inscrutable transcendent source for the implementation and completion of a mystifying and inscrutable cosmic plan. Our illusory aspirations and destinies are not so much chosen as given and inflexibly imposed. We are trams in a groove. Worse, cosmic designs are enforced by sinister agents, who exist only to ensure we remain trapped in our grooves of fate. The two major protagonists in The Adjustment Bureau attempt to exercise what we shall loosely call their free will against the determined forces that vigorously attempt to control their destiny. The movie poses the philosophical question: which theory corresponds more truthfully to the human condition? Or, to put it more crudely and in competitive terms, which will win?"

Black holes are long-time superstars of science fiction. But their Hollywood fame is a little strange given that no-one has ever actually seen one – at least, until now. If you needed to see to believe, then thank the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), which has just produced the first ever direct image of a black hole. This amazing feat required global collaboration to turn the Earth into one giant telescope and image an object thousands of trillions of kilometres away.

It's been over a century since Einstein firs proposed his Theory of General Relativity, his groundbreaking proposal for how gravity worked on large scales throughout the cosmos. And yet, after all that time, experiments are still being conducted that show that Einstein's field equations were right on the money. And in some cases, old experiments are finding new uses, helping astronomers to unlock other astronomical mysteries.

Stitchdown is a multifarious beast.
While much of our commercial focus is on growing and arranging flowers for events, the farm is a dynamic (choatic) place. In addition to bathing in flower petals daily, we keep ourselves and the landscape busy with an ostensibly impractical, and consistently rewarding array of homestead activities. Like for example raising pigs and building a relationship with our draft horse Ted. Or making syrup from our sugarbush and naturally fermented cider from the wild apple trees on the farm, some of which predate us by hundreds of years. We cure our meat in the traditional manner and make our bread with ambient yeast. We build furniture and cabins and treehouses when necessary, and cut timber to heat the house. Not saying we're particularly good at any of the endeavors yet, but we are here on this piece of land to build an agrarian life, closer to the source. To build skills and equity in our abilities, to reclaim the generational knowledge we lack, and bank it for our children. To spread inspiration to agrarian action, and to share our spoils along the way. It is magnificently difficult to commit to the labor and frustration of learning as you go, and to weather the flat-out shitstorms that these pursuits beget daily. And it's worth it. Flowers are an economic engine that creates for us the opportunity to pursue a lifestyle that is active, curious, complex, purposeful, interconnected and really, really fucking delicious.

Officials throughout Monroe County were still reeling from last week's news regarding DTE Energy filing for a 60 percent reduction of its Fermi 2 nuclear power plant valuation, more devastating news came this week. The energy company is seeking a higher tax reduction than previously discussed on its Monroe Power Plant, 3500 E. Front St. The energy company said the appeals with the Michigan Tax Tribunal are "merely protective appeals" and still wants to "negotiate" with community leaders. Some aren't buying the rhetoric any longer.
"The bottom line is that DTE misled the government agencies and the impact will be felt by all," said Dr. Stephen McNew, superintendent of the Monroe County Intermediate School District. More (Thanks, Dawn)

It's difficult to say whether or not marijuana is linked to harmful consequences in children. But, that hasn't stopped medical professionals and the general public alike from expressing concern. In this Children & Marijuana segment, we'll look at the potential impacts of pediatric marijuana use. We'll then show you some very intriguing studies that provide a different perspective on the matter. Specifically, this article will address the question: will medical cannabis harm my child?
Will medical cannabis harm my child?
There is very little data available on the long-term implications of pediatric cannabis. Given the sensitivity of the subject matter, virtually no longitudinal or clinical studies have been done to test the herb's impact over time.
But, the implications of the gap in research swings both ways. We don't know for sure that marijuana is safe for children to use, but we don't know that it causes significant harm either. The same is true about many other medications that are currently given to children. Opioid painkillers like oxycodone and morphine are frequently given to kids undergoing chemotherapy. As Judy Rollins, Ph.D. and Rn, points out,
"While some experts caution that the effects of the drug on child development are unknown, others point out that the same is true for other medications used to fight pain and nausea that are currently given to children with cancer, as well as for powerful antipsychotic drugs that are used in long-term treatment of childhood mental illness."
Data simply aren't there right now. Since research is largely missing, parents who opt to give their children medical marijuana are taking a certain amount of risk.
Yet, if your child is severely ill, the questionable risks associated with medical cannabis may be nothing in comparison to giving your kid their life back. Regardless of your decision, here are some of the major concerns from medical marijuana skeptics.
Some areas of concern
Dosing is probably one of the most difficult things about medical cannabis. Fortunately, edibles manufacturers like EdiPure and Dixie Elixirs are making products with specific concentrations of cannabis materials. In Washington State, for example, you can buy a package of EdiPure gummy candies that contain 10mg of THC each.
The big question is: how do you know how much to give your child? No one has a definite answer. The standard dose for an adult is thought to be 10 to 25mg of active THC. There is no such set standard for children. Further, if a child is suffering from a severe medical condition, they may need more than the standard dose to cope with the pain of chemotherapy or to put an end to seizures.
Without firm dosage information readily available, we have no idea whether or not there is a safe amount to give. Your dosage will also vary significantly if you're giving your child a product containing THC versus one containing only CBD. Yet, there's no official guideline to tell you exactly how much your child should be taking.
The only way to deal with dosage issues is to work very closely with your child's doctors and your dispensary. A quality dispensary or compassion clinic will be able to walk you through which products are available, which ones have been laboratory tested, and what you should look for after your child has taken the recommended dose.
It should be noted that smoked marijuana is not safe for children. When children are given pediatric cannabis, it's typically in the form of edibles or cannabis oil.
Predisposed to marijuana abuse
One of the primary arguments against pediatric cannabis is addiction. Young people are far more likely to become addicted to abusable substances. A 2008 report found that those who began using marijuana under the age of 18 were four to seven times more likely to develop a marijuana use disorder. A "use disorder" occurs when you become dependent on the herb to perform daily tasks like falling asleep.
Here's the catch: while marijuana is linked to dependence, so are many of the other drugs given to children with debilitating diseases. As Times writer, Maia Szalavitz points out,
"Although marijuana can be addictive, addiction rates are often lower than those to opioid drugs, and discontinuing opioids is associated with severe physical withdrawal symptoms not seen with marijuana."
Drugs like benzodiazepines are also often given to children with autism and other brain disorders. Benzodiazepines have fairly high rates of abuse and dependency, which is why they're typically recommended only as short-term treatment options.
Cognitive consequences
Another big point of contention is that medical marijuana may cause changes in the developing brain. It's unclear what the overall impact of these changes might be. In adults, recent studies have shown that marijuana use is not correlated with brain damage. Young people, however, may experience some changes.
A 2013 study published in Pharmacology found that those who smoked cannabis under the age of 16 had increased impulsivity when compared to non-smoking controls. This change was not found in those who began smoking much later.
In teenage brains, some worry that use of the drug might slow down school performance. As neuroscientist Dr. Francis Jensen explains in an interview with NPR's Fresh Air,
"Not only does the teen brain have more places for the cannabis to land, if you will, it actually stays there longer. It locks on longer than in the adult brain. There were studies done that showed that several days out, there is still impaired learning and memory say in experimental adolescent animals compared to adults, where it's a more fleeting effect."
We shouldn't be quick to jump to conclusions, however. Another recent study pooled data from over 2,200 teens and found that there was no significant difference in the IQs of marijuana smokers and non-smoking controls. Cigarettes, however, did impair learning and cognition.
The other side of the debate
With the big concerns out of the way, we can move onto the other side of the debate. Parents opting to use pediatric cannabis for their children have it a little rough. While there are obviously times when medication is an absolute necessity, certain treatments deemed healthy and appropriate can actually cause a substantial amount of harm. Christy Shake, mother of now 12-year-old Calvin experienced this firsthand. She writes in her blog,
"My kid was only three years old when his (now former) neurologist prescribed his first benzodiazepine, clonazepam, brand name Klonopin. It was meant as a bridge drug, to be used only for a couple of weeks while he titrated to therapeutic levels of two other anticonvulsants, one of which, if increased too quickly, can cause a life-threatening rash.
Instead, Calvin remained on Klonopin for over three years and the only way he came off of it without suffering debilitating withdrawal symptoms, including scores of extra seizures, was to transition to a benzodiazepine derivative, clobazam, brand name Onfi, which he has been taking for over four years.
While on extremely high doses of three anticonvulsants, Onfi, Banzel and Keppra, Calvin's behavior was often off the wall. Everything was difficult: sleep, changing his diaper, feeding him, walking him around, soothing him, even driving in the car. When he became anorexic, his behavior barely tolerable, I started weaning him from the Banzel and began investigating medical marijuana."
Calvin was born with an unknown neurological condition that resulted in cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and a host of other medical problems. Epilepsy and cerebral palsy are qualifying conditions for medical marijuana in many states.
Once Shake made the switch to cannabis, the difference was nearly immediate. After six months, she was able to ween him almost entirely off of the benzodiazepines. Calvin's care team also noticed a significant improvement. Shake even received a thank you from Calvin's teacher because the improvements allowed him to pay attention in class and focus on learning songs. Shake writes,
"I lamented that it is going to take another six to nine months to get him entirely off of it safely and without causing him too much suffering from withdrawal. And it's the cannabis, I realize, that is allowing us to wean the benzo."
There's no contest. We need compassionate pediatric medicine.
All about ethics
The debate about whether or not parents should be allowed to give their children medical marijuana has been going on for quite a while. Back in 2003, Peter Clark made a case for the child's right to medical cannabis. "Medically," begins Clark, "to deny physicians the right to prescribe to their patients a therapy that relieves pain and suffering violates the physician/patient relationship."
He continues,
"Therefore, in the patient's best interest, patients and parents/surrogates have the right to request medical marijuana under certain circumstances, and physicians have the duty to disclose medical marijuana as an option and prescribe it when appropriate. The right to an effective medical therapy, whose benefits clearly outweigh the burdens, must be available to all patients, including children."
Fortunately, though long-term data is still lacking, there are a few studies that might help pave the way for movement on the pediatric cannabis front. Here are a couple of studies of interest.
A CBD study
Recent trials of the GW Pharmaceuticals drug, Epidiolex may also shed some light on the impacts of cannabinoid medicines. Epidiolex is an up and coming seizure drug made of purified CBD. In a study lead by researchers at the New York Langone Medical Center, Epidiolex was tested in 137 patients. In the trials 36.5% of patients reported seizure reduction. Of those patients, CBD treatment reduced the total number of seizures by 54%. The majority of the study participants were children. The maximum doses being 25 mg/kg to 50 mg/kg per day.
These findings are quite promising, but researchers are unsure if the reduction was actually due to the CBD or due to the placebo effect. The trial was not double-blind, so patients knew exactly what they were taking.
The success rate of this CBD drug is pretty impressive, but the treatment wasn't completely without side effects. 79% of patients reported negative side effects, including sleepiness, fatigue, and diarrhea. These side effects were not significant enough to cause people to drop out of the study. Only around 3% of participants decided to discontinue.
A Jamaican example
Pediatric medical marijuana is very closely monitored in the United States. But, what about in rural Jamaica? Jamaicans have a fairly long history of using cannabis in daily life. While the herb is illegal on the island, there is a decent population of people that rely on the healing properties of the plant.
This makes rural Jamaica a great place to look at the long-term health implications of marijuana use. Dr. Melanie Dreher, RN, did just that. She looked at the implications of marijuana use in Jamaican schoolchildren.
This comes as a shock to many in the U.S. and Canada, but, some Jamaican parents give their children ganja tea as a way to fortify their health. That's right, children are specifically given marijuana teas for their own benefit.
Dr. Dreher explains that the tea "has symbolic value for the Jamaican homemaker in producing hard-working, healthy children who excel in schoolwork."
In a study published in 1983, Dreher and her team studied the impacts of Jamaican children who were regularly given marijuana teas and tinctures. She examined 80 children in two different working-class communities.
Overall, she could not determine if the ganja tea actually caused the children to perform better in school. But, she did find that many of the non-ganja using children were less academically successful than those who drank the tea an average of two to three times per week.
There were other interesting benefits as well. As reported by Pete Brady of Cannabis Culture,
"Women who were actively engaged in producing, buying, selling and administering marijuana often had the best-run households and the smartest children. One mother, a Rastafarian named Pansy, had her oldest child selling marijuana when Pansy was not at home. Yet, Pansy's children were ranked by teachers and principals as among the most intelligent, diligent and well-behaved of all students; they were ranked at the top of their classes."
Though extremely interesting, this anthropological study is not a full examination of the long-term cognitive impacts of pediatric medical marijuana. Dreher pointed out that the ganja tea given to children was carefully dosed by the mother in an age-dependent fashion. Young children may only have one fresh marijuana leaf steeped in hot water. The overall psychoactivity of this concoction is questionable, and may not be very strong.
Medical marijuana in pediatrics is a sensitive topic. No one wants to give a child something that might be harmful. Yet, as many mothers argue, some of the greatest visible harm seems to come from the pharmaceutical cocktails given to severely ill children. Pharmaceutical drugs have gone through a formal process of clinical trials, cannabis has not. Until we have sufficient trials, parents who opt for pediatric cannabis are between a rock and a hard place. Regardless, there's no doubt that the herb has been a true life-saver for children and adults alike.

This topic contains 8 replies, has 2 voices, and was last updated by K.Umamaheswara rao 2 years, 7 months ago.
Respected astrologers,
Will you please help me know as which is more important when finding a suitable time for an event to occur. Is it vimshottari dasha or transit?
Dasha/Antardasa/….. are calculated based on the time of birth details and this never changes due to transitory influences. Yes you can have the first look at it and you can only look at that when a child is born.
Transitory influences are only useful for strength of houses analysis and not of periods and sub periods. Planets are constantly in movement and thus transitory influences change every second. So they are useful only for comparison of strength of individual houses vis-a-vis the natal strength of houses. There are no dasa or antardasas associated with transitory influences. So in short dasas/antardasas are fixed in nature based on the time of birth and the influence of the strength of the individual planets while transitory influence of houses are useful for a small period of time ahead in an either positive or negative basis.
So while periods and sub periods give you divisions of our times and their respective nature and strength, transitory influence is the immediate evaluation of the potency of the houses. There will be occasions that your Antardasa is bad and you can then definitely check whether a particular house has an increased potency based on transitory influence and if so you could take suitable decisions applicable to a very short time ahead.
As an analogy, you are travelling in train starting from a particular place to a destination far away and you know before hand the arrival time at the destination and you are sure to arrive at the destination. But while travelling, good landscape, the weather inside the train, availability of tasty foods, toilet facilities, good co passengers etc. are not known to you beforehand and these will have to be evaluated as you go along which also adds to the overall performance of the journey if you want to call it as an enjoyable journey. You can treat transits similar to this while dasa antardasa gives the stretches covered during the course of the journey as a physical measure which you are sure of if you look at the time table of the train. You can only take very little bit of useful information from the time table to add to your enjoyment of travel. So to conclude the Dasa/Antardasas are to be studied together with the transitory effect if you want to know the overall status of your time with respect to a particular house or houses.
Read my evaluation of Modi's horoscope on my blog where transitory influences are well evaluated.
Thankyou very much sir, for explaining it into detail. And thankyou for the example too. It helps too much to understand easily.
Sir Narendra Modi's birthchart evaluation was really interesting. No planets are having good residential strength except venus which is malefic too. How did he get so much popularity? as for his Aaroodha strength only?
Yes, that is right. A tea vendor will have quite a lot of popularity. Look at the strength of his houses and try to compare it with his known facts. He is so far the best PM we ever had though his advisors are not very good to implement his visions and decisions.
K.Umamaheswara rao
In the horoscope given by astrosage.com,Sri Modi's lagna is vrischika.
You need not go to Aarudha method of evaluation.
Moon(Neecha) and Kuja are in lagna.Kuja in own house(lagna) gave him courage and
dynamism.Seeing residential strength is one method of evaluation.
It is not all.
Three planets are in kendras-Guru in fourth house and Sukra(plus Sani) in 10th house.There is good Gajakesari yoga.Further Sukra and Guru aspecting each other
(being both placed in kendras) is a special yoga.
Sani in 10th house is also good,except some disurbances in his popularity and
Parasari principles will stand by your side in dealing with a horoscope.
You are confusing that residential strength is only the criterion in
judging a horoscope.Parasara gives utmost importance to kendras,for a person
becoming popular .
Sukra ,though a malefic by ownership,plays a critical role in lifting a person
politically.In his horoscope ,Guru is seeing tenth house.Guru plays divine role

Sorry umarao sir.
I did not know that much about astrology. I am just reading the basics. Interpreting a chart is very much difficult (for me). I just saw an open evaluation by that way and result was also matching. It was quite easy to understand. And I've heard, to interpret a chart through Parasara one have to be a brilliant I mean a lot.
Do not worry. My knowledge about astrology is purely on the basis of the mathematics of astrology and I always evaluate a horoscope by the actual positions of planets placed in the zodiac at the time of birth using Vedic Astrology mathematics and produce a mark sheet of life which I have found to be quite correct in my last 50 years of research and I do not have any direct information from Sage Parasara himself. I have learned it out of passion and it is my own way of evaluating where not only the Shadbalas, I do take into consideration the Residential strength and Bhava balas are moderated rather than following some general axioms in astrology which are being used by many astrologers and they each have different way of interpretation. I do not claim that my method is the best or anything like that which you will know yourself since I have already given my method of evaluation to you earlier.
Yes Tmr sir,
I really like your method of evaluating a birth chart.
I am no one to decide which is the best or good way of evaluating a horoscope and I hope I will never be in that position to decide that. But I think astrology is something which we have to prove logically behind any statement given, if it does match with our real life then it works. (whether it is parashara, kp, jaimini or bhrigu nadi)
Researching, proving and relating theories to real life is astrology (according to me)
And really hats off to you sir for continuing that research and bring it to us a new method of evaluation.
K.Umamaheswara rao
Hello TMR sir,
Yes sir,you are correct.A horoscope is most complex chart.It cant be approached
in different ways.Varahamihira method is completely different,where no ownership
is taken into account.
But Parasara principles are unique.How a natural benefic becomes a malefic when
he owns a kendra,is beyond the grasp of expert astrologers.Those principles are
evolved after great penance for 20 or 30 years.No subsequent saint could give
any such revolutionary principles for the guidance of astrologers or for general
public.There is no such easy approach in western astrology.
In western astrology,the astrologer has to put effort for making calculations.
The principle that combination of kona lord and kendra lord gives raja yoga,
is of great help for Indian astrologers.

A fresh search for the body of missing teenager Arlene Arkinson has failed to find her remains, the PSNI have confirmed.
Specialist forensic experts had been examining a piece of remote farmland at Killen, just outside Castlederg in Co Tyrone, since Tuesday.
In a statement, the PSNI said: "The police search operation at Killen in Co Tyrone has ended.
"Nothing suspicious has been found and the Arkinson family have been updated."
The latest search was triggered after farmer Noel Doherty discovered a piece of disturbed land, resembling a shallow grave, close to where the teenager was last seen alive in August 1994.
While the farmer did not want to draw premature conclusions, he said he felt compelled to report the discovery in the hope the missing schoolgirl could be found.
"I found this thing of stones about six foot long and three foot wide," he said at the scene on Friday.
"It is like a grave but I don't know if it's a grave. There is something peculiar. It would be nice for the Arkinson family if they could find her."
Arlene, 15, from Castlederg, Co Tyrone, vanished after a night-out in Co Donegal.
She was last seen being driven down a country road by convicted paedophile and child killer Robert Howard.
He was acquitted of her murder in 2005 by a jury not told of his lengthy criminal past which included the murder of South London teenager Hannah Williams several years earlier.
Members of the Arkinson family, who visited the site of the dig on Friday, said they would never give up hope of finding the schoolgirl's body.
A long-running inquest examining the circumstances of Arlene's disappearance is expected to resume in Belfast on Monday.

After playing many Fortnite Battle Royale online games we have found the upper best landing spot in Fornite Battle Royale. The best location to land in Battle Royale for 2018 is "The Lonely Lodge". Opening up to five chests and leaving with many purple and gold colored weapons stacked with health kits and shield potions is something that will occur frequently using this landing spot strategy! We have set-out the complete path you can follow to get all the chests and items in the most efficient way. We even added screenshots of each single chest in this spot. To provide you with the needed proof and help you to search for the spots where the chests and best items are located!
The flight route to enter #1 landing place!
We will start at the beginning because some of you might not be familiar with landing in the Lonely Lodge. If you are entering the lonely lodge from the left side of the map it is always best to fly in between the mountains divided by the "white arrow". When you are positioned in between these mountains you will have the perfect view over the area. The mountain where the first chest is located will be immediately visible. But just to be clear, we have pointed it out as "go here" in the image above.
The most efficient path to get chests and items in Lonely Lodge!
Once you have followed the previous steps you will reach this location. Here, you will have to take a few seconds to process all the locations of the chests. To start off, you will have to land on the mountain that is indicated as number one. Right below the number in the middle of the mountain there should be chest. Sometimes, it happens that chest isn't there. Don't worry, simple get all the loot from the mountain. Now, walk towards to tent that is located on the top of the mountain and search for the roof of the building that is indicated as number 2. Make sure you enable "sprinting" and jump on the roof of the building. When there is a chest in this building you will immediately hear the sparking sound. Usually, it is located inside the building on the 1st floor. We have added a picture below of the chests location!
Now, make sure that you leave the building following the stairs that it has. If the building doesn't have stairs, you are in the wrong building. After you have left the stairs simply go straight and enter the opening of the mountain on your right hand. At this moment, you should be located below the mountain you landed on in the start. Here, you can find the chest on your left hand. If the chest isn't there. Stop looking, there is no further loot available at this location.
Next, make your way to the small wooden lodge that is located at number 4. Inside the small wooden lodges you will usually find regular loot like weapons. However, when you build yourself a stairs behind the small wooden and start destroying the roof with your pickaxe. There is a high possibility that you will find a chest. Obviously, the chest isn't always there and you should be able to hear the sparkling sound of the chest while you are inside the small lodge. If you don't hear the sound, don't waste your time on breaking open the roof. Just skip it and head straight for the main building of this area!
The main building is located at number 5. The location of this immense wooden lodge won't be hard to find. It is directly visible from the previous location. Remember, that the main building is the #1 location in the Lonely Lodge where most of your opponents will land. Therefore, this place is usually filled with one or two enemies. So make sure that you enter this building without making to much noise. All The chests in here are hidden behind walls. So you should be able to hear if your opponent is busy destroying the walls to get to the chests. Crouch towards them and give them a head shot. There can be up to 3 different chests in this building. We haven't set-out the exact position of all chests. But we did point out the location of the chest that is almost always available. The other chests are usually behind one of the three walls behind the room with the door on the 1st floor!
Finally, you should visit location number 6. Here, you will find two small wooden lodges. On the ground floor you will only find small loot like weapons, shield potions or med kits. But when you hear the sound of a chest make sure to build your stairs behind it and take off the roof. The final location can usually be skipped. You only walk all the way through the highest tower of the map when you are 100 % sure that there was nobody else who landed in the Lonely Lodge!
Why the lonely lodge is the number #1 landing location.
There are a few reasons why the Lonely Lodge is the best landing place in Fortnite Battle Royale for 2018:
- Most often there are only 2 to 3 people who land on this location. It isn't called the Lonely Lodge without a reason haha.
- The lonely lodge has a lot of loot! On a regular basis it included 6-7 chests.
- The chests are located closely near each other.
- You can clear it the whole area within five minutes

Social Media Marketing: What You Need to Know
It can be tempting to start marketing on social media by immediately posting content on Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube. Don't. Instead of posting at random, first set your brand objectives. You'll then have direction and be able to measure the success of your social media marketing.
Before creating your captions, videos or photos, set the measurable brand objectives — such as brand awareness, website visits, and/or leads. You'll notice how clear the rest of the social media planning becomes once the initial direction is set.
Have multiple themes, offering depth. One theme can be Q&As with the owners and another can be local partnerships. The stories should get your audience thinking, smiling, and/or laughing.
Avoid self-serving videos or captions that highlight only product or service information. Viewers want to be entertained. You can talk about your offering, but always wrap a relevant and enticing narrative around it.
Publish at least 2 times per day on each social channel. You can always slowly increase the number of posts per week. Though, it's more challenging to decrease the number of posts once your audience expects a specific content schedule.
Audiences appreciate contributing to brand stories. Invite your audience to participate. Create and mention your branded hashtag in the Instagram bio that your viewers can then include in their posts. You're building a sense of community, and you can better locate the content to comment on and share.
It can be intimidating to talk in the moment, without the option to edit the video after. However, embrace that feeling. Audiences welcome spontaneity and realness. Facebook and Instagram love live video, and will prioritize this content in user news feeds.
Influencer collaborations have been happening for decades, though not initially on social media. Michael Jordan is a memorable influencer who began partnering with Nike in 1984. Before you jump into a collaboration, ensure the influencer has an audience similar to yours.
Even when an influencer has a large follower count, that alone doesn't mean success. Many of the followers may live in another location or have interests that don't match with your company.
Also, consider micro-influencers (5,000-30,000 followers). They have a smaller and more defined local audience with, at times, stronger engagement than those with 100,000+ followers.
It takes time and money to produce notable content, and so make sure that your target market knows it exists. Organic (non-promoted) content reaches very few people.
Set aside an ad budget that will go into promoting your posts across social channels. An ad targeting strategy will need to be created so that only the most relevant audiences engage, beyond your current followers.
Filtering campaign data doesn't have to be daunting. If your objective is website visits, review the number of website clicks received and the associated cost per click. Also, look at how many people viewed the content (reach), and how many times it was served to your target audience (frequency).

Rich & powerful
If there's one cheese that can lay claim to being the nation's favourite, it has to be Cheddar. Three of our creameries make this cheese, covering a wide range of maturities, from mild all the way through to Extra Mature & Vintage.
Arla's award winning Cheddars are finely crafted in timeless fashion at our traditional British creameries. All of our champion Cheddars are made in the same classic method, however each is unique with its own distinctive character – as you'd expect from Cheddars made in regions far and wide in England, Scotland and Wales.
Fresh milk from our Arla farmers is gently pasteurised and poured into vats. Starter cultures and vegetarian rennet are then added to produce curds.
Once the curds and whey are separated and the curds milled, salt is added to act as a preservative and flavour enhancer.
The cheeses are then watched over like a hawk by our expert cheese graders whilst they mature in cold stores for two months for the mildest versions – and up to two years for our punchiest Extra Mature Cheddars.
Our passionate cheesemakers certainly take no short cuts, and the end result is worth every ounce of care; our moreish Cheddars always boast a satisfying balance of sweet and savoury notes.
And since they're high in protein and rich in calcium, these delicious cheeses are a valuable part of a healthy and balanced diet.
Perfect on a cheeseboard with tapenade and chutneys, our Cheddars make delicious sandwiches and are a lovely cooking ingredient for cheese sauces and classic cheese dishes. To appreciate their full flavour, always serve our cheeses at room temperature.
