Salesforce Parallelism
June 12, 2017
For several years now, Salesforce has built distinct product lines that all work off the same platform and can integrate in interesting ways. There are product lines for the enterprise, small and mid-sized businesses, business-to-business firms and business-to-consumer operations -- and probably some others that I haven't considered. The rationale for all of these new products is simple.

Helpshift Integrates With Salesforce
May 25, 2017
Mobile technology has delivered a lot of useful functionality that enables vendors and their customers to be on the same page more frequently.

A mobile "help" app should deliver help the customer values.

Output vs. Outcomes
February 14, 2017
How many times have we been lulled into complacency over getting a project or a product done but not necessarily well received, because it was someone else's gig? This is a great reminder that the job isn't done simply because we produce something and shove it out the door. It's also a cue to pay close attention to what our CRM systems tell us. Our concept of a product has changed.

The Nabatean
The Lasombra currently known as the Nabatean, is one of the last of the Nabataeans and has spent thousand years staked in a coffin as a Kindred attraction until he reemerged during the Arab Spring in 2011.
Originally of Nabatean stock, the man who would become the Nabatean was the descendant of a line of people who lived near Petra and worked on hydraulic engineering innovations, like dams and conservation systems. In a time where the word "Nabatean" denoted a man as "poor" or even "bastard", they worked as faithfully and hard as they could, bowing before the Roman authorities, but also keeping true to the ways of his people. This was noted by a traveling Lasombra named Antipater, who began to take an interest in the people.
When Petra was finally destroyed during an earthquake in 737, this Lasombra saved one of the temple workers of Nabatean origin and took him under his wing, to preserve the line of the Nabateans. As Antipater had converted neither to Christianity nor to Islam, his standing in his very clerical Clan was quite low. This brought them serious problems, when they were guests by a fellow Lasombra sultan of the Ashirra in Malaga. Antipater was challenged to a contest by the sultan in order to force his conversion and lost. When the Nabatean's sire still declined any attempt to convert him, the matter was brought before the Amici Noctis, who put him between the choice of honoring his word and converting or facing Final Death.
Knowing his sire would never convert to a faith he did not love, the Nabataean, who had stayed silent through the matter, made a bold and decisive move. He offered his own unlife in exchange. To his surprise, neither his sire nor the sultan objected, nor even reacted with especial dismay. The sultan accepted at once, and sent word to the tribunal that the sire's verdict was to be voided, provided his Nabataean childe remained true to his word. After almost three centuries years together, sire and childe parted ways with nothing more than a lone knowing nod and a somber valediction.
The Nabatean, however, was sentenced not to death, but to an eternal slumber. Staked within a coffin, he went through many hands over the years, first the sultan, who lost him in gambling to a Christian Lasombra, who sold him out to a variations of older Kindred, who sometimes loosened the stake in order to ask him questions or challenging him to contests to win his freedom, which he all lost. It was only during the Libyan upheveals in 2011 that the Nabatean managed to free himself during the siege of Sierte. With his stake dislodged and his host nowhere to be found, the Nabataean was on his own for the first time in a millennium.
Since his rude awakening, the Nabataean finds the world a stark and disorientating place. His unspeakably long torpor didn't drive him mad, but it did strip him of many of his memories, much compassion, and even his identity, including his own mortal name. His first impulse was going to Petra, but he found the city in ruins and a historical curiosity. With no contacts and nowhere concrete to start, he is reduced to wandering lands he once knew, now unfamiliar to him, alone and bereft of the guidance of even his own god. He wanders now, as in nights of old — wanders and wonders if he is indeed the last of his kind.

Casey Kasem. Terry Crews. Michael Moore. Jon Connor. Mark Ingram, Jr. Ready For The World. E. Lynn Harris. Claressa Shields. What do all of these icons have in common with me? We are all from Flint, Michigan—the city that once was only mentioned in the national news for its high levels of crime and violence, the city that sadly was forgotten.
Today, news feeds and social media are overloaded with talks of my hometown. Flint is strong. Flint is proud. Flint Lives Matter. As a city that has always stood proud regardless of being slighted in previous news coverage, today the discussion is centered on poor leadership choices and their tragic effects on a community; specifically, any mention of Flint begins with how, in 2014, the city rerouted its water supply from Lake Huron (Detroit) to the Flint River to save money.
I remember a running joke from my adolescence about the Flint River. We always laughed at the fact there were probably dead bodies in the river. Whenever we went past it we would hold our noses. But we were just kids. What did we know? After all, I took my high school senior pictures at Stepping Stone Falls, an outlet to the Flint River.
In a city of almost 100,000, 56.6% identify as black or African American; 52% of the population is female; and 41.5% live below poverty level. This is not a Third World Country, yet the poison in the water supply begs for answers to questions of how much do we care about our citizens, and why was the proper research not conducted before disaster struck.
President Obama declared a State of Emergency in Flint on January 16, 2016. While this is important, it came months, years too late to save residents from harm and a situation that residents and out of state loved ones were already aware of. What happens after you blow the whistle?
Speaking with Laura Rahmaad, the Director of Nutritional Services for Genesee County Community Action Resource Department, whom I refer to as "mom," I became aware of the potential dangers my family and friends were facing in the summer of 2015 during my last visit to my hometown.
"This started about a year ago, the first announcement was made in January 2015. In October 2015, our agency went onto action after the state was called into a State of Emergency. The degree of lead was just too high. We have passed out filters, filter refills, and bottled water daily to all Flint residents. Agencies from all over have joined in," Ms. Rahmaad stated. "This has been a tragedy to the residents and citizens of our city. We pray that our children and citizens do not suffer for years to come."
Then I thought, I better talk to my childhood friend. He has been doing amazing things in the community, especially when it comes to repurposing abandoned buildings and taking care of the elderly. I'm sure he knows something new. But like everyone else, he sparked into action in the midst of his shock. Glenn Wilson, President and CEO of Communities First, Inc., stated, "Often seniors have more difficulty with transportation and lack of strength to lift packages of bottled water. We are hopeful that the needs of Flint's most vulnerable and underserved residents will be met. When it comes to lead, there can be long term health impacts that we will not know to be true until much later."
Everyone I talked to was focused on helping immediately, but were also worried about their future and how the problem would be solved. Black lives are at stake here. All lives are at stake here. How long will clean water be available from volunteers? How long will citizens have to bathe with bottled water? Who is to blame?
While all of this information comes with shock, sadness, and finger pointing, Flint needs more than bottled water. Flint needs more than prayer.
"There has not been a focus on changing the infrastructure of the system to really make change. We are spending money on supplying water and water refills but are not dealing with the underlying issue of pipeline corrosion and bad leadership. If we call water bottles and water filters a bailout, we are ignoring the bottom line. Until we see bulldozers tearing out corroded pipes, we do not have a plan for our future. Our president has provided $8 million to the state of Michigan; however, Flint does not see all of that money,"Quincy Murphy, Flint Charter Review Commissioner and 20-year community activist explained.
"Our property value has greatly decreased. People are losing their homes at alarming rates. Water bills skyrocketed in 2011, causing community citizens to have liens placed on their homes," he continued. "Who wants to pay a water bill for water that they cannot drink and cannot use? It is environmental racism. In 10 years there will not be too many of us here left."
Murphy finished by offering a solution: "The real solution lies in creating employment for those passing out water, to not burn out volunteers. To fix this problem, we need more than water. The governor of Michigan needs to go! He does not deserve three years in office. I have filed a recall on him. He has destroyed our community."
Most of us do not want to think about gentrification. Most people have never witnessed a city change (decline) so drastically in 30 years. But that is the reality of Flint, Michigan, a city that more than deserves a real solution.

Daily limit on form useAsked by amhomelife on April 04, 2014 at 05:53 AM
I am receiving feedback from our users that they are only able to have 3 submissions per day on their account. We do not have subusers. instead, we created separate user acounts for all of our independent contractors and shared our forms with them.
Even with the free single user account, it looks like a user can have 100 submissions per month. One of our users received the message- "Reached your limit".
I know my administrative assistant passed this question along to you once and you told us that there is nothing wrong with our corporate account. But, we need to know why a user would get the above error message.
We are approaching a very busy time for our company and we will need to have our users able to have more than 3 submissions each day. Please help me to understand this and how we can correct it. Rosannekahli is the user who received this error message.
Again, this is not a subuser of our account. The accounts were created as single accounts with whom we shared our forms.
JotForm Support
Hello Beth,
Thank you for the detailed explanation.
Error message "Reach your limits" is not related to your or sub account's submission limits. There are limits set for forwarding the submissions. For free account the limit is 2 forwards per hour. If I am not wrong, you are clicking "Forward" / "Reply" button of your submission page. Please check the screenshot below:
These limits are higher for paid users (100 forwards / replies per hour) and I am not sure but it should be applicable to your sub account as well who are actually forwarding submissions of your forms under your account.
It seems you have a lot of sub account, if they all forward submissions simultaneously it will surely cross your hourly limits of 100 forwards / replies.
I am sending a note to our back end team to confirm if these limits are applicable to sub accounts or not and we will get back to you as soon as we hear from them. For now I would suggest you to please wait for sometime and then start forwarding submissions again.
Thank you!
JotForm Founder
Please make sure that you have disabled the unique submissions feature on your forms:
It sounds like that could be the problem.
If that's not the issue please send us the URL of the form that you believe limited to 3 submissions/day.

Punters are banking on a victory for Japan in the Melbourne Cup but it might not come from the horse they expect.
RACING OFFER: Sign-up at Sportsbet.com.au via this link for a $501 BONUS BET!
Fame Game is the clear-cut $3.20 favourite for Tuesday's race at Flemington while fellow Japanese contender Hokko Brave is a $31 outsider.
Victory by either runner would provide Japan with a second Melbourne Cup success after Delta Blues and Pop Rock ran one-two in the 2006 edition.
Equine influenza then halted their progress until Tokei Trick finished 12th in 2010 before Admire Ratki came to Australia last year.
Fame Game caught everyone's attention in the Caulfield Cup, including the stewards, with his sixth placing behind Mongolian Khan whereas Hokko Brave has flown under the radar after finishing 10th at Caulfield.
But connections of Hokko Brave, to be ridden by Craig Williams, have every confidence in their horse.
Speaking through interpreter Hiroshi Ando, Hokko Brave's trainer Yasutoshi Matsunaga said the Caulfield Cup had not gone to plan.
"The Caulfield Cup was an unfortunate race," Matsunaga said.
"The pace was not helpful for our horse and we believe we can beat Fame Game.
"We believe that a local jockey knows this racecourse and that's a big advantage."
Despite a wide draw of 20, Matsunaga thinks the bigger track at Flemington will also suit Hokko Brave.
Fame Game's trainer Yoshitada Munakata, via interpreter Kosi Kawakami, said he could not fault the preparation of his stayer.
Fame Game was ridden at the back of the field from his wide barrier in the Caulfield Cup and stewards grilled Munakata and jockey Zac Purton and the trainer expects the horse to be ridden closer from his better draw.
Munakata said he respected the fact that Fame Game is so highly regarded in the Melbourne Cup.
"It's a great honour to be a short-priced favourite but the rest of the field will be hard to beat," Munakata said.
"There are dangers from the Caulfield Cup runners like Trip To Paris but I believe if he (Fame Game) shows his true potential, he will be up to it."

Really great friendly team. Left the place neat and tidy - nothing was too much trouble. We had to wait a while for them to fit us in but then again I would be worried if the turned up the next day! Value for money yes - not the cheapest but by no means most expensive. Would be happy to have them back again.
Did a great job, on time, easy communication, good value. Will use Flamur again.

Located in the heart of the market town Kettering, Northamptonshire, the 265,000-sq ft Newlands shopping centre attracts a weekly footfall of 125,000. The centre has recently undergone investment and a rebrand including the creation of eight promotional spaces which will now be managed by Space to trade.
Centre manager Neil Griffin said: "We are constantly looking to improve our offering and we are looking forward to working with Space to trade – we believe that in partnership with Space to trade we can improve the mall trader offer and complement our existing retail mix."

GCSE pass rates at West Hatch High School in Chigwell have remained the same as last year, with 69 per cent of students achieving A* to C grades, including English and Maths.
Results were expected to suffer this year after the government scrapped coursework in favour of end-of-year exams, which led to predictions that pass rates would fall nationally.
A total of 90 per cent of students secured five A* to C grades, excluding English and Maths.
Headteacher Frances Howarth said: "We are so proud of what our students have achieved, especially those who found their studies hard.
"Congratulations to them all and their teachers."
Freddie Dell, 16, who achieved one of the highest GCSE's in the school with 6 A*'s and an A, said: "I am so pleased with my results, I worked hard to achieve them."
His sister, Abbie Dell, 16, who achieved 4 A*'s, 2 A's, 4 B's and a C, said: "I am so happy I feel really good about what I have achieved, it was hard work but it paid off.
"I'm really looking forward to starting sixth form to study Biology, Chemistry and Physics."


text: I did a paver side walk that is heaving excessively on both sides only, no where in the middle. So its shaped like a gutter, not that dramatic but its beveled. I did the edging on top of the last compacted lift and under the setting bed so I think the install part was right. But I used Home Depot edging which I've since seen others criticize, and I used the Home Depot plastic spikes every 3rd space. Can anyone offer some info or suggestions?

Best iPhone 5 Leather Case | Luxury Leather iPhone 5 Case
There are many leather cases available to choose from, when looking for a case what are the things you should look for. We at LoveGizmo have put together the most important points to look out for when deciding on the right case for you.
The material is very important as the case has to age well and last you throughout the life of using your iPhone.
Genuine leather is the best material as it feels great in the hand, much better than faux or fake leather which feels very plastic.
Genuine leather is soft yet textured and quality is realised as soon as you hold and use the case.
Extra features are always good, most of our cases give you extra features such as the folio leather case allowing you to stand it up to watch content.
They also incorporate slots on the inner side of the folio cover; there is room to carry a few cards and a large compartment to hold some cash.
The price is also a important factor as it has to be good value for money, there are many designer cases out there which are priced excessively, and there are many cheap cases which will not last you more than a month or two before you see stitching come apart and the leather crack.
Our white stitch hand made iPhone 5 genuine leather folio case, is in our opinion the best case available, we believe in selling cases which we would also use, with hand on heart we can proudly say we haven't come across a case of equal quality and design made from luxury textured genuine leather at a price of £27.99.
Most cases with similar quality are not attainable by most people and therefore most people go for a sub standard product which will not last forcing them to purchase another case. We want to change this and so at this price and quality you will not find anything better. We also give a year's warranty; if the case tears or rips we will replace the case free of charge.
The iPhone 5 leather folio case is made of premium quality leather and ages very well adding to the characteristics of the case, softening of the leather only enhances the feel.

Skill-crazy after all these years
Yesterday we published Learning and Teaching, our strategy for teachers' continuing professional development. This has been a key element in our plans for the profession since we published the 1998 Green Paper. All our ambitions for education depend on teachers doing well in the classroom.
We published a consultation document on professional development a year ago, which generally received a very positive response, and have since been building our strategy through further consultation with the General Teaching Council, the teacher unions, and others across the profession. The strategy is informed by advice the GTC gave us just before Christmas.
I know that high-quality professional development is crucial. The demands on teaching are changing all the time. To stay effective, staff need to keep on top of their subject, make the most of new technology and build skills to enhance their careers.
A strong professional development culture in a school can make it a much better place to work, with supportive relationships and enthusiastic, self-confident staff. It is also good for recruitment, as schools committed to professional development often find it easier to attract and retain good staff.
Moreover, we want children to develop enthusiasm for lifelong learning, since this is increasingly the key to success in adult life. That is more likely if they see their teachers involved in regular learning.
Teachers will quite rightly ask of our plans:"What's in it for me?" My answer is many things, but two in particular: more money under your control to develop your skills in the way that you want; and more opportunity to learn from good professional development practice in other schools.
As a government, we have put a lot of money into professional development over the past four years - through national programmes like the literacy and numeracy strategies, and through direct grants to schools. But I recognise that for individual teachers this has two key limitations. First, however good the training, it supports priorities decided by someone else. Secondly, schools vary widely in the quality of professional development they offer, so teachers' access to professional development at present depends too heavily on where they are.
One key part of our strategy, therefore, is to incease the money for individual teachers to spend on development. I know this is something that the GTC particularly welcomes.
We are allocating an additional pound;92 million in total over the next three years. We will expand our programmes of bursaries, scholarships for research into best practice and international development. We will also pilot two new programmes: sabbaticals for experienced teachers in challenging schools; and early professional development for teachers in their second and third years in service.
By 2003-04 this will increase the funding for individual teachers nearly four-fold, and, over the next three years, offer over 70,000 extra development opportunities. I know that the National Union of Teachers, for example, has fully backed this approach and is running its own professional development programme.
A second key priority is to identify and share widely the many examples of excellent professional development that exist. To support this we are launching a new website as part of TeacherNet at www.dfee.gov.uk teacherscpd . Here, teachers can get information about state-funded programmes, but they will also, for example, be able to find lesson plans, multi-media presentations and other teaching materials that can lighten the burdens on them as well as increase their expertise.
Professional development is not just about going on courses. We are also encouraging teachers to look at what they can learn from effective colleagues - many teachers say this makes the most difference to their teaching.
We are planning to have at least 300 beacon schools that have strengths in professional development, and will fund many more advanced skills teachers so expertise can be transferred between colleagues and schools.
We are encouraging schools to apply for the "Investors in People" standard. And we are publishing a code of practice for those providing continuing professional development, Good Value CPD, so schools know what they are entitled to expect and how to secure it.
Will the strategy work? I believe it will, because it reflects what the teaching profession has told us it wants and many across the profession will be helping us to implement it. But it is not our final word. We shall watch its impact closely and not hesitate to adapt it if that proves necessary. I want good-quality professional development to become something that every teacher, wherever they work, can take for granted.

Attacked KDF Camp Had 240 Soldiers, Half Cannot Be Traced With Somali Army Suffering No Casualty (See Details)
Al Shabaab militants
The Kenya Defence Force (KDF) base in El Adde that was attacked by Al Shabaab elements had 240 soldiers, the Star reports.
It also emerged that the camp was led by a Major and four Captains in a compound they shared with the Somali National Army.
According to the Al Shabaab militants, they killed over 63 soldiers-a figure they have inflated to 103-, and kidnapped an unknown number of soldiers as prisoners of war.
A general with the NSA told Voice of America that Kenya received prior warning of an impending Al Shabaab attack but took no action.
Commander of SNA in Gedo region, General Abbas Ibrahim Gurey, told VOA Somali service:
"It was information we knew, the information was received, and they (KDF) were ready for it,"
SNA suffered no casualties as they had left hours before the deadly attack. Their camp is 600 metres away from the KDF base.
Col Obonyo has however denied reports that they ignored intelligence on an impending attack:
"It is not true that KDF received information of the impending attack and ignored it. In a war zone we collect all information, verify and use it. No military can afford to ignore intelligence information in such a situation. We use information from many organisation that work with us even outside Somalia and pass it on to our troops in Somalia"
The government has not given a comprehensive report of the number of soldiers killed or missing in action.

Leave in Term Time
A very important message for all parents
Dear Parent/Carer,
We are writing to inform you that a 2013 amendment to The Education (Pupil Registration) (England) Regulations 2006, means that Head Teachers may no longer authorise leave during term time except where the circumstances are exceptional. This is also in accordance with Birmingham Local Authority's 'Leave in Term Time Guidance'. If your child takes leave that has not been authorised by the Head Teacher, it will result in the absence being recorded as unauthorised. Please understand that this may lead to the issuing of a penalty notice and legal action being taken or your child losing their school place.
If you are issued with a penalty notice, each parent will be fined a minimum of £60 or £120 depending on how soon payment is made. If that fine is not paid, you may be required to attend Court and this could result in a fine for each parent of up to £1000 per child.
Being taken to Court could result in you having a criminal record.
If a pupil takes unauthorised leave in term time without the Head Teacher's permission, and does not return to school within 20 school days, the pupil may be deleted from the school register on the 21st day i.e. they will no longer have a place at this school.
Family emergencies need careful consideration. It is not always appropriate or in the best interests of the child to miss school for emergencies which are being dealt with by adult family members. Being at school, friendship with peers and support from staff can provide children with stability. The routine of school offers a safe and familiar background during times of uncertainty.
If you believe there is an exceptional and urgent reason for your child to take leave during term time, please complete the required form which you can obtain from the School. It is the Head Teacher who will then make a decision on whether or not the leave can be authorised. For example:
We are grateful for the support we receive from parents and good attendance will ensure that your child can reach his/her full potential. To achieve this, your child needs to attend school every day.
How does your child compare?
Frequent absence can add up to a considerable amount of lost learning and can seriously disadvantage your child in adult life.
Yours sincerely
Harry French

Chandigarh: If the rivalry between India and Pakistan can match the Ashes in terms of interest and involvement, though for varying reasons, a Trans-Tasman clash, no doubt, comes close. As Australia and New Zealand gear up for the first semi-final of the Champions Trophy, the interest among the locals may be at its lowest ebb, but it can in no way diminish the intensity and significance their rivalry denotes.
The records, however, point to Australias dominance. In the last 17 games, Australia have won 14. Except for the first game of the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy in 2004 when New Zealands lower-order scraped through in a tight chase and the last meeting in December 2005, when they won chasing 332, its been the Aussies all the way.
Like in any other sport, the clashes between the two sides have been intense
We have prevailed on most occasions in the last 17 matches. We are looking to build on our performance in the tournament and are confident of doing that, Ricky Ponting said.
A Tran-Tasman battle is always special
Were excited about that. Our cricketers are measured against how they perform in this match, was Stephen Flemings observation.
The Australians record in the meet has been dismal, and that does bring some amount of relief to Flemings men. In the four previous editions, the Aussies havent managed to reach the finals, having gone down in the semi-finals twice.
The Black Caps, though, are facing serious injury worries. Scott Styris is almost certain to miss the match while Shane Bond is nursing a hamstring injury. Theres also a concern over Kyle Mills because of niggles in the knee and groin.
Shane picked up a hamstring twinge in the last game
Were hopeful hell be alright, informed the New Zealand captain. The fast bowler did bowl at nets during Tuesday evenings practice, but a final decision on his availability will be taken on Wednesday morning.
Bond has been the Aussies biggest threat with 22 wickets in six games. More importantly, Ponting has succumbed to him on all of these occasions. The Australian captain, however, said he wasnt concentrating on Bond alone.
He (Bond) does the role that Brett Lee does for us
Hes got an unbelievable strike rate against Australia. But having said that, Kyle Mills has had a good time here and the conditions does suit his style of bowling. We will discuss about them and put our plans in place accordingly, Ponting explained.
The match in nearby Mohali will be played on the same pitch that saw South Africa end Pakistans dreams. Both Lee and Bond will be hoping to do a Makhaya Ntini, but its unlikely that the wicket will retain the same life and bounce. I dont envisage that happening again, Fleming said. Its been under the sun for the past three-four days.
Ponting said there was a possibility of Brad Hogg playing in place of a quick. The appreciable turn in their last match against India has provoked such a thought in their minds.
Daniel Vettoris ten overs will also prove vital if the left-arm spinner can make use of the turn and bounce. The Aussies havent been too comfortable against him in the past.
The New Zealand top-order, except for Fleming and the injured Styris, has failed to fire consistently and that is a cause for worry. Ponting admitted they were wary of the New Zealand lower-order who plundered 99 off the last ten overs against Pakistan.
Weve got to look at those guys McCullum, Oram, Vettori... Theyve been dangerous hitters at the end. We need to come up with the right strategy, right field placements to restrict those guys at the end, Ponting said.
Ponting believes that his side doesnt have a real weakness for their opponents to exploit. If Flemings men can overturn this myth, it will be a shot in the arm for their confidence.
Australia (from): Shane Watson, Adam Gilchrist, Ricky Ponting, Damien Martyn, Michael Clarke, Andrew Symonds, Michael Hussey, Brett Lee, Mitchell Johnson, Nathan Bracken, Glenn McGrath, Brad Hogg.
New Zealand (from): Lou Vincent, Stephen Fleming, Nathan Astle, Peter Fulton, Hamish Marshall, Jacob Oram, Brendon McCullum, Daniel Vettori, James Franklin, Shane Bond, Kyle Mills, Mark Gillespie, Jeetan Patel.

Best First Birthday Presents
I think what every child likes to play with is different but I will tell you some of the favorites my daughter got. A Palm Tree Jungle Toy that you put the balls in the top of the tree and they fall down to the bottom, beginner puzzles, books, we got her a Pottery Barn Anywhere Chair that she loves and an inflatable ball pit was a hit too.
Little push shopping cart w play food. Total hit for all my kids. Boys and girl
We still have a plastic potato.

So, one day i was walking home listening to music and suddenly this boy at the pool with his friends is hollering at me trying to talk to me. Suddenly, I stopped for a second to see what would happen, but he kept teasing me like in a playful way saying ( keep walking) cuz i stopped and turned out confuzzled saying what? and he was giggling saying something i didn't hear so i kept walking, Now today, i was walking home and i looked at the basketball court and saw people playing i thought, Oh the sound is coming from there (them over there) then, i stopped by the tree and the curb turning my backpack on my lap (corner of my eyes i see the same two people that were at the basketball court) so i can get the house keys out and my head phones back in my bag and suddenly, The boy, that teases me (once again we see each other for the second time randomly near the parking lot ) and starts up a conversation and smiles at me and ( i can't help smile and talk so i smile back and talk) i answer with confidence, and he kinda walks in the same direction as I do while talking to me till i had to go and said bye and he turned to his place and i kept walking striaght. Any ideas?

Hi my name is Penny. I am a very sweet girl who is so happy to be with my foster mom. I am a super sweet girl who is happy as can be. I now get to run and play in a nice fenced in area. I have a buddy to play with and all is great. I love my foster mom and follow her everywhere. I am a wonderful girl who only wants to please you. I am 5 years old and I weigh 40 lbs. I do need to lose some weight and am working on it. I will be a success for doggie weight watchers. I love people and would be an excellent family dog. I get along great with other dogs of all sizes. I am house broken and I have learned to walk on a leash. I am a little timid at first but after I know you are nice I warm right up. I am a better with women and some men but leary of others. Someone must have been mean to me before I came to Critter Cavalry. If you are looking for a wonderful addition to your family then you have found her. I am current on all my shots, spayed and microchipped. For more information on Penny please contact Vivienne at email@example.com or 615/943-7311. ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.

Tribal CONfusion
What exactly is Tribal Belly Dance?
Is this a question you've heard before or perhaps thought of yourself? In a nutshell, tribal belly dance is a dance form created in America, but influenced by Middle Eastern dance. The form continues to grow and change and many variations of the style exist. The dance is performed in groups as well as by solo artists.
Some would say it is not an authentic ethnic dance, but a blending of old and new--a blend of traditional belly dance movements with modern, or other ethnic dance moves, such as Indian or Polynesian.
Breaking open the shell reveals a much richer and varied dance form that is difficult to put into a tiny box of descriptive words:
American Tribal Style (ATS) is a form of dance created by Carolena Nericcio, the director of FatChanceBellyDance. It began as a group dance of synchronized improvisation, cued with hand and arm signals. The costuming consists of full skirts, choli-style tops, turbans, heavy jewelry, and fringed hip scarfs.
Improvisational Tribal Style (ITS) took ATS a step further, emulating the ATS style, but adding different movements, different costuming, or different music. These 'tribes', an offshoot of ATS, still retain the feel of the group dance without being carbon copies.
Luma from Southwest Florida says, "I also dance ITS in the Gypsy Caravan format - which Paulette (Gypsy Caravan creator) calls tribal style. She doesn't address it with a specific name, but it is similar to ATS with the combos, improv... Nothing beats the group dynamic. ATS/Group improv is almost spiritual."
Although tribal style began in the US, its popularity has extended internationally. Meissoun from Switzerland performs "Old school ATS all the way - been doing it for 10 years and still love the group improvisation, the zilling, the turbans and all."
Some dancers are drawn to tribal belly dance because they want to try something new. Some want the artistic freedom that tribal fusion offers.
Aleksie (http://aleksiedancer.wordpress.com) "began to take tribal when I wanted to try something completely new with belly dance. I really like that her style helped teach me about fusion; my teacher explained her train of thought why she combined certain things."
Rachel Brice, one of the most well known tribal fusion dancers performs as a solo artist as well as with The Indigo, a tribal fusion troupe in San Francisco, California. She has a unique style which incorporates snake-like sinuous movements and hip hop style pops and locks, and her influence can be seen in the many tribal soloists who have broken out of the 'tribe' mold and perform solo tribal fusion.
Some dancers, both troupe and soloist, define their styles even further with names such as alternative tribal, urban tribal, gothic (or dark) tribal. There are as many names as there are variations; however, there are no hard and fast rules that differentiate one from another, although Gothic tribal dance style typically incorporates the black clothing, makeup, and hair of Goth culture. Beneath all the labels, some commonalities exist: a preference to use modern music, cutting edge costuming, and a high prevalence of body piercings and tattoos.
The word tribal unfortunately has become a catch-all term for anyone dancing in non-traditional costuming to non-traditional music, but tribal is much more than fishnets and dark atmosphere, and some of the most skilled tribal dancers have a background in more traditional forms of belly dance.
Kendra Ray from 7 North says "I teach traditional to beginner students before we even explore modern twists... I feel it's the most important part. Understand the culture and the art from which the new methods have derived. After that, then you can incorporate fusion if you chose to do so."
Ruta Kidolis from Baltimore is of the opinion that "Good fusion is a wonderful eclectic soup of similar rhythms and musical styles from diverse ethnic disciplines, and movement styles that meld and mesh, and create new patterns, and a global understanding of art and music and movement. It's more than just wearing funky ethnic garments to non-traditional music, which is what some bad fusion has become...that and using ethnic dance poses in dance forms that haven't been formally studied."
Anyone can don an edgy outfit and pop in an industrial CD. True fusion is the blending of two or more dance forms. True artistry comes when the dancer blending those forms has a knowledge and mastery of the forms being fused together.

Does anyone know what this list of people (over 700 of them) was compiled from? Was there some kind of petition, etc. from around 1810 in what was then the Mississippi Territory? Thanks, Kevin.

|"Anthem of Yugoslavia"
|Largest city
|Other cities
|Sarajevo, Zagreb, Ljubljana,
|Ethnic Group
|Alexander I
|Royal house:
|from Ottoman Empire
|July 18, 1913
|Yugoslavian Dinar
Yugoslavia was under control of the Ottoman Empire for an extremely long period of time - from the 1400s until the early 1900s, when the major nations of Serbia Montenegro gained independence. They then fought in a series of Balkan Wars which further freed the Balkans, the future home of Yugoslavia, from Ottoman control.
Serbia and Austria-Hungary were two large powers in the Balkans at this time, and they competed for new nations' spheres of influence. When Austrian heir Arch-Duke Franz Ferdinand arrived in Sarajevo, a Bosnian city, a Serbian nationalist assasainated him, leading into World War I.
Serbia ended up on the winning side of World War I, and gained massive reparations - valued around $400 dollars. They also expanded in Macedonia, and gained international recognition. Following World War I, Serbia formed the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, another (antiquidated) name for Yugoslavia.
The King of Serbia became the King of Yugoslavia. King Peter I of Serbia was crowned King of Yugoslavia in 1918, and ruled until his death in 1921. Since 1921, King Alexander I of Yugoslavia has ruled as King of Yugoslavia.
See: Kings of Yugoslavia
While Yugoslavia was originally designed to be relatively democratic, King Alexander's rise to power in 1921, and his subsequent reign, has all but eliminated democracy in Yugoslavia. He is a practically a military dictator, and is extremely unpopular in Macedonia.
A relatively new constitution, the Constitution of 1931, was enacted by King Alexander, and gives the King full executive powers. This was extremely unpopular with all Yugoslavians (save for the Serbs), and the Croats threatened a war to leave Yugoslavia. The King has promised to correct this, and plans for a new democracy are underway.
The Yugoslav economy is based around agriculture. Over three-fourths of Yugoslavs work as farmers, with an even balance between commercial and substenance farming. The remainder of the work force are either in the military or work in factories in large cities such as Belgrade or Zagreb. King Alexander has promised to improve the Yugoslavian economy.
The official military of Yugoslavia is divided into three branches - the Yugoslav Royal Army, the Yugoslav Naval Command, and the Yugoslav Air Defence Forces. These three branches comprise the Royal Yugoslav Armed Forces.
Each branch can operate independently, but can also work through the commander - the highest ranking member of the Yugoslav Armed Forces, to organize a joint attack.
The Royal Yugoslav Armed Forces have never been in a war, however many Balkan armies have been in large scale conflicts. Among these are the Balkan Wars and World War I.

Pina Colada Fruit Dip – Delicious creamy pina colada dip. Whips up with 4 easy ingredients. Made in minutes, perfect for dipping with fruits; strawberries, pineapple and kiwi.
Today is all about simple. 4 easy ingredients get whipped together in this fun tropical dip that's perfect for fruit. It would be tasty with animal crackers and pretzels as well! My kids couldn't get enough of this fluffy dip. I know they would eat their 5 fruits and veggies a lot easier if this was always in the fridge. My little guy couldn't wait to take it to school with his fruit.
And what mother doesn't appreciate when the kids are excited about eating healthy foods? Now let me say this dip in and of itself it's health food but it's definitely a sweet side to a healthy serving of fruit.
These photos for the pina colada fruit dip came together so nicely too because I'm coconut obsessed. We have an entire group board on Pinterest dedicated to the coconut. It's one of my favorite food loves. If you've been around for awhile you probably have been introduced to these amazing coconut scones.
This bread is another popular coconut recipe around the internet. I'm dying for summer to come by soon so I can make it again!
So as I was pulling this recipe post together. I thought I'd do a few statistics for you. Gather for Bread now has 18 coconut recipes for your enjoyment. They range from breakfast dishes to drinks to sweet treats.
Coconut fans rejoice! Here's one more treasured recipe to add to the collection.
If you make and try this recipe, I'd love to have your thoughts in the comments. They mean so much to me and all the future readers of Gather for Bread. Thanks so much!

Mantas Kubilinskas
I'm Mantas Kubilinskas. I am a Lithuania-born, D.C.-based photographer. Photography is more than my job. It is my hobby and my passion. As a photographer, every day is like Christmas for me. I get just as excited for each session as a kid admiring his wrapped gifts on Christmas morning. Each couple brings me the opportunity for something new and amazing. I love creating and capturing those moments of passion and happiness between two people. My work is all about action, composition and emotion. My vision is to catch the excitement, solemnity, humor, love, or happiness of a moment to be remembered for years to come. Whatever you feel the day of the session, you will feel every time you look at your photographs.I do not focus too much on the details or simply going through the same-old checklist of events to document. Sometimes to catch the action and feeling behind an event you have to look at the bigger picture, shoot from a different angle, tell a joke.
My photography is not about me. It's about you, about the couples. In my sessions, I direct couples to compose beautiful, natural photos, but what I love, is making them laugh. My images expose that genuine, human happiness couples look for in their photos. It's my favorite part of what I do. I want you to be passionate about my photography style and vision too! Enjoy my portfolios here on my website. I look forward to making you laugh, capturing your story and creating breath-taking photographs to evoke those day-of emotions all over again.
