Fame hasn't changed Shailene Woodley. If anything, it's given the actress a global platform to share her beliefs—and that's exactly what she does in the May/June issue of Natural Health magazine.
In addition to discussing herbalism and sustainability, though, she also talks about life in Hollywood. How has Woodley remained true to herself since Divergent hit theaters? "I'm so, so fortunate to be part of the family I was born into," she explains. "I have two superhumans as parents and an amazing support system in my brother and best friends." Plus, she says, "I know that it's all fleeting, especially in this industry, so why would I sacrifice my integrity for something that could go away tomorrow?"
Woodley's positive attitude is infectious, which the Spectacular Now star attributes to ignoring gossip and focusing on what truly matters. "I just do me!" she tells the magazine. "Someone once told me that it's none of my business what anyone else thinks of me. That was an epiphany. The thing about this industry that ungrounds people so often is fear. It's the fear of not being accepted, not being enough, being compared, not being this or that...It's just clutter! It just doesn't need to be there."
Natural Heath
Whether she's on a movie set or foraging for berries, Woodley feels at home.
"I find myself living in two worlds sometimes—being this person who can walk a red carpet in a huge, fancy-ass ball gown, high heels and mountains of makeup, but also being the girl at a hippie festival in the middle of the forest with war paint on my face, dancing around with hair armpits. I exist so well in both, and I used to feel like I had to choose one or the other," says Woodley, who couch surfed after filming Divergent. "I struggled with that up until doing The Fault in Our Stars. I have one life to live, and it could end any minute, so I'm going to appreciate every single moment. I'm going to own my day before my day owns me. Show up the way you expect others and the world to show up for you, and that's all there is to it. Life is too fleeting, too unpredictable and too unfair to focus on anything else."

Boy George has credited his time in prison with improving his life "more than 100 percent" – because it forced him to beat his drug addictions.
The former Culture Club frontman was jailed in January for the false imprisonment and assault of a male escort in 2007.
And the four months he spent behind bars pushed the singer to attend drug dependency meetings, where he finally received the help he needed.
He says, "I went in with all the tools you learn in Narcotics Anonymous about resilience and surrender. I went to NA meetings inside. The first week in Pentonville (prison). Oh my God, I was horrified… I was like, I don't need it (the meetings), I'm fine. I'd been to one in the eighties and I just thought they were all weirdos, which is a common get-out clause for anyone in denial but I went to one. Since that day my life has improved more than 100 percent."

Toronto Raptors DeMar DeRozan Breaking Out; 28 Points Versus Miami Heat Show WhyMarch 30, 2012
DeMar DeRozan, the Toronto Raptors starting shooting guard, has had a shaky third NBA season. After finishing his sophomore season on a tear—he averaged 20 points a game after the All-Star break last season and 23.7 in April—expectations for DeRozan were through the roof. He was expected to build upon his fantastic finish, take his game to the next level and perhaps join the list of budding stars in the NBA. Twenty points a game was what many Raptor fans hoped of DeRozan.
However, things haven't gone according to play for the Compton, California native. Dwane Casey, the Raptors' new head coach, brought a much more defensive-oriented system to Toronto. He slowed the game down, which limited transition opportunities for DeRozan. He preached defense, and if you didn't meet his standards on the defensive end, you would find yourself sitting on the bench until you did.
Of course, the lockout didn't help either.
DeRozan struggled to adjust to this new system. He averaged just 14 points on a putrid 36.7 field-goal percentage in the month of January. These numbers were the worst of any month since his rookie season. Entering the All-Star break, he found himself averaging 15.7 points on 41 percent shooting.
However, much like last season, DeRozan has improved his play in the second half of the year. In the Raptors' 16 games since the All-Star break, he has averaged 18.1 points on 43 percent shooting. This includes a season-high 30 points on March 23 in a win against the New York Knicks.
Despite that, DeRozan's most impressive performance came in tonight's game against arguably the best team in the league, the Miami Heat.
DeRozan scored 28 points on 9-of-17 shooting and 10-of-10 from the free throw line. Here is a recap of his baskets:
First Quarter
- 9:13: He curled off an Aaron Gray screen and received a pass from Jose Calderon just above the free-throw line with Chris Bosh covering him on a switch. He immediately caught the ball and exploded to his right, drawing a foul on Bosh. He would go 2-of-2 from the free-throw line.
- 7:14: He received a pass from Linas Kleiza, took one dribble and stuck a pull-up jumper over Mario Chalmers.
- 4:41: He came off a double screen from Amir Johnson and Ed Davis, drove to his right. Euro stepped by Bosh and finished with his left hand at the rim.
- 3:09: Johnson stripped the ball from LeBron James, outlet the ball to DeRozan, who then drove to the hoop, where he was fouled by Norris Cole, just missing an And-1. He would convert both free throws.
- 1:53: Received a pass from Calderon outside the three-point line on the right elbow, took one hard dribble to his left and drained a pull-up jumper over Terrel Harris.
Total points in first quarter: 10
Second Quarter
- 6:23: Alan Anderson stole a pass from James, pushed the ball up the floor and fed DeRozan, who then hit a reverse layup.
- 3:07: Had the ball behind the three-point line left foul line extended with two Mario Chalmers guarding him and Shane Battier shading. Passed to Davis, immediately received a hand-off from Davis, drove to his right and went into Ronny Turiaf's body, drawing the foul. Made both free throws.
Total points in second quarter: Four
Third Quarter
- 8:56: Had the ball on the right side of the floor above the three-point line, swung it to Andrea Bargnani, who then passed to Calderon, Calderon took three dribbles to his right while DeRozan faded to the corner. Calderon passed to him, and he buried the 18-foot jumper.
- 5:36: Had the ball at the top, passed to Calderon, got shot-ready, received a return pass from Calderon and immediately rose up for an in-rhythm 20-footer.
- 3:53: Ran into the paint, faked a screen on Battier, cut back to the free-throw line, received a pass from Calderon, dove to the basket and drew a foul on Joel Anthony. 2-of-2 from the line.
- 3:29: Stole a Chalmers pass, outlet to Calderon, trailed the play, received a pass from Bargnani just outside the arc, a hesitation dribble on Harris, protected from a Chalmers swipe and laid it in high off the glass with his right hand.
Total points in third quarter: Eight
Fourth Quarter
- 4:41: Had the ball 30 feet out with Battier on him, he faked using a Bargnani screen with an inside out dribble, went behind his back, pump faked to get Battier in the air and drew the foul. Made both free throws
- 2:02: Received the ball outside the left three-point elbow, used a Bargnani screen, avoided the hedging James, went to the middle, drove to his right and hit a running hook over Battier near the right baseline.
- 0:52: Had the ball straight away, exploded to his right by James, cradled the ball and hit a layup off glass with his right hand.
Total points in fourth quarter: Six
DeRozan is at his most effective when he is utilizing screens, moving without the ball, being decisive on the catch and attacking the rim. He gets in trouble offensively when he is standing around watching the play or when he tries to do too much with his dribble.
In tonight's game, he was doing much more of the former than the latter, and it resulted in the most impressive scoring game of the season for him.
Now, by no means was DeRozan flawless tonight. He struggled to contain Dwyane Wade defensively and only had one rebound and two assists, but his offensive game tonight was a great example of why he has begun to break out of the slump he was in during the first half of the season. It is also a great indication of what he will need to continue to do heading forward if he wants to finish off the season strong.
If he can do it against the elite Miami defense, why can't he do it on a consistent basis? Raptor fans are hoping that they see just that from DeRozan to finish out the season and remind them why they were so high on him heading into the year.

Personal Saving
There's nothing like having your own money saved, to put into your startup. You have the satisfaction of having saved it on your own, and the knowledge that you don't owe anyone. When using your own money to finance a business, you will feel more personally invested in the project, because it is basically your money on the line. However, there is more flexibility in using your own money. For example, if your business is having a slow start, you do not need to worry about paying back a bank loan because you used your own money.
But the risk you may face is that - It's your money, and if you're not successful, the money is gone, and with it the opportunity to do anything else with it later. It can also create another financial burden. Most people have a savings account for general purposes. In other words, the money is not saved for any particular purpose and is used whenever it is needed for whatever reason. As such, draining such an account may negatively affect your financial situation if you need to dip into that savings account for an emergency. However, if the personal savings you use to finance a business was money saved for that particular purpose, you should not have any financial troubles as a result of the draining of that account. If your savings account was set up for the purpose of opening a business, this means that you planned ahead and reserved that savings account for that purpose only, and thus, will not feel the pinch in an emergency because you will have other funds available for that purpose.

Ernst & Young (E&Y) has teamed with Babcock to win a contract to provide support to the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) in delivering a blueprint to 'Rebuild Navy Engineering Capability', following the Rizzo Report.
One of the key strategic actions recommended in Paul Rizzo's 'Plan to Reform Support Ship Repair and Management Practices' report, published in July 2011, was that "Navy Engineering should be rebuilt and reorganised to reduce fragmentation, increase authority, clarify accountability, and enable the Head of Navy Engineering to fulfil his role as the Technical Regulatory Authority." The report continues: "It should be led by a 2-star Navy Officer to give weight to this important technical and compliance function."
The RAN has moved quickly to appoint Rear Admiral Mick Uzzell to this important role, and the Ernst & Young-Babcock team has, in competition, won a role in supporting this vital work.
The E&Y-Babcock team has brought together dedicated specialists in the various disciplines required to deliver this project, with E&Y leading on the process and Babcock providing its wide-ranging maritime engineering expertise. The team will draw heavily on RAN subject matter experts to provide input.
Babcock is delighted to be involved in this project, Babcock Pty Ltd Deputy CEO, Rear Admiral Bob Love (ex Royal Navy Chief Naval Engineer) said, stating: "This is a great opportunity to contribute to a very important piece of work. The output must have wide stakeholder acceptance and become a blueprint for Navy Engineering of today and the future."
Mark Nixon, Ernst & Young's Federal Government and Public Sector leader, said: "The reform of Naval Engineering is a once in a generational opportunity for the Australian Navy to maintain a sustainable capability. Ernst & Young, with our alliance partner Babcock, is proud to be assisting Navy in building its future."

"Well, they flipped a coin, one team got it, and then for the rest of the game, all they kept screaming was, 'Get the quarterback! Get the quarterback!' I'm like, hello? It's only 25 cents!"

Kids with SparklersPosted in Humor, Mixed Nuts on October 3rd, 2008 by MadDog
How much fun can a kid have?
Get a box of sparklers and find out.
Ross is a precise kind of kid. He makes perfect circles over and over until they are burned into your retinas:
Ryan is simply spastic with a sparkler. He makes what looks vaguely to me like a Lissajou pattern. Maybe he knows what that means. I remembered it dimly from physics class:
Look at his eyes. He's bordering on frenzy.
Little Holly – what a doll. Her motions were more sedate and considered. She wanted to draw with the light:
I felt as if I were too tired to go to dinner. I nearly skipped out. I'm glad that I didn't.

FCC's two Democratic members harshly criticized the Justice Department for approving the $78 billion AT&T- BellSouth merger without conditions.
The department, however, said Wednesday that "the presence of other competitors, changing regulatory requirements and the emergence of new technologies" prompted its decision.
The Justice Department's decision came a day before the FCC was scheduled to vote on the merger at a public meeting. But consideration of that matter was later postponed until at least this Friday.
Sources said that much work is left in the negotiations and that further delays might be unavoidable.
"The Justice Department has packed its bags and walked out on consumers and small businesses by refusing to impose even a single condition in the largest telecom merger the nation has ever seen," FCC Commissioner Michael Copps complained in a statement.
Because the Justice Department did not issue a consent decree, or a settlement with the parties, a combined AT&T-BellSouth would not be subject to an automatic judicial review.
"This abdication looks suspiciously like an end-run around the public interest review" required under antitrust law, Copps charged.
His views were echoed by the FCC's other Democratic member, Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein, who issued a statement characterizing the department's conclusions as "a reckless abandonment of [Justice's] responsibility to protect competition and consumers."
But a department official said,"We found that there was not a substantial lessening of competition in any market" under the deal.
Because there are no antitrust violations, no consent decree is needed, he said.
For their part, the merger parties said the ruling underscores how the deal would result in improved services and more offerings.
"AT&T is focused on bringing more video choices and next-generation broadband services to as many consumers as possible, and our merger with BellSouth will help deliver these benefits to more consumers, more quickly," AT&T General Counsel James Ellis said in a statement.
He added, "This unequivocal and unconditional approval underscores the competitive nature of our industry and the pro-competitive benefits of this merger."BellSouth said in its statement, "This merger will create a communications industry leader capable of providing customers across the BellSouth region with the latest in wireline, wireless, broadband and video technologies and innovation."
But, at an FCC meeting Thursday, Copps said the Justice Department decision has placed added pressure on him and Adelstein to secure consumer protections."We really didn't have the terrain defined for us until yesterday when the Department of Justice kind of abdicated their responsibility," Copps said.
Sources said the conditions the Democrats are seeking include so-called network neutrality restrictions that would bar the merged company from potentially blocking or degrading competing Internet content on their high-speed lines.However, if the Democrats push too far, FCC Chairman Kevin Martin, a Republican, might include fellow Republican Commissioner Robert McDowell in the negotiations, giving the Republicans a 3-2 advantage. Without McDowell, the parties are split 2-2.
McDowell may be recused due to his background at CompTel, which represents Bell competitors. But sources noted that Martin has the authority to involve McDowell if the talks with Democrats reach an impasse.
Further complicating matters, Martin has a business trip to Asia scheduled for Oct. 14-24, though the dates could change, sources said.
"This is extremely troubling news for consumers," said Jeannine Kenney, a senior policy analyst at Consumers Union, said of the Justice Department decision.She contended that the department has essentially "rubber-stamped" the deal and is overstating the level of competition in the telephone market.Leading Democrats in Congress also slammed the decision.
"By approving the merger without any conditions, the administration is avoiding court review, ignoring Congress and protecting big business at consumers' expense," Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont, the senior Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, wrote.
"Congress must be vigilant -- if the Bush administration will not be -- to protect consumers from anti-competitive actions and attempts at re-monopolization," declared Leahy.
"Now, more than ever, it will be essential for the FCC to stand up for consumers," added Sen. Daniel Inouye of Hawaii, the senior Democrat on the Senate Commerce panel.Massachusetts Rep. Edward Markey, the lead Democrat on the House Energy and Commerce Telecommunications and the Internet Subcommittee, likened the Justice Department's Antitrust Division to fictional character Rip Van Winkle for being in the "deep throes of a multiyear slumber."And House Energy and Commerce ranking member John Dingell, D-Mich., complained in a letter to Martin that the Justice Department had made its announcement before a judicial review of two previous telecom mergers is complete.Dingell also asserted that the department has "ignored the competitive harms" raised by previous mergers and reminded Martin that the FCC previously has surpassed the conditions set by the Justice Department.

HONOLULU—The idea of taxing soft drinks may be making a comeback in Hawaii.
The state Senate Health Committee heard from experts and physicians Monday on the health effects of sweetened beverages, especially on children.
The soda tax idea isn't pending in any legislation currently being considered after lawmakers tabled the idea early this year.
But it could be reinserted into a bill later in the process as elected leaders search for money needed to help balance the budget, which has a deficit projected at nearly $1 billion over the next two years.
Democratic Gov. Neil Abercrombie had suggested creating a soda tax -- 25 cents for each container larger than 12 ounces, and 10 cents on smaller containers -- that was projected to raise about $40 million a year.

It's a bit of a hazy past up to the arrival of the Muslims with myths, which are supported by somewhat questionable archaeological discoveries. Until recently, there is a recorded history that has been defined by the dictatorship of Maumoon Abdul Gayoom, the president of Maldives for three decades until he was very recently replaced by Mohammed Nasheed. Local island tourism and guest houses like ours were not permitted until recent years – tourists were restricted to private resort living. Lucky for you it's welcomed now and is getting off to a great start as people begin to discover the hidden gems of the history of Maldives.
The Early Days
According to archaeologist Thor Heyerdahl, Maldives was a trading point for many civilizations like Romans, Egyptians, Indus Valley and Mesopotamians from the time of 2000 BC. It is also believed that the sun-worshipper Redin were present in the island country till 500 BC when they were most probably overtaken by Buddhists from Sri Lanka and Hindus from northwest India. Certain excavations like Buddhist stupas have revealed the influence of Buddhism in Maldives.
Islamic Influences in the History of Maldives
Arab traders frequented the Maldives for a long time while en route to Far East. The first recorded visit of the Arabs in Maldives was in 2nd century AD and they called the islands, Dibajat. The Maldives islands were also known as the 'Money Isles' as the country had huge quantities of cowry shells, which was used as a currency in the early ages. It was Abu Al Barakat, a North African Arab who is believed to have converted the Maldivians to Islam. After that, there was a series of 6 sultan dynasties that ruled the country but at one point of time, there were two ruling dynasties, probably during the arrival of the Portuguese.
Competing Interests for the History of Maldives
Maldives history mentions that the Portuguese arrived in the island country in the 16th century in their attempt to expand trade over the Indian Ocean. One version of the story states that they first just built a fort and a factory in Male but soon they forced them to invade and defeat the army of the ruling sultan and the Portuguese under Captain Andreas Andre ruled for the next 15 years. Another popular version of the story suggests that the Portuguese had not ruled Maldives but merely created a trading post in the country. In any case, the Portuguese were defeated by Mohammed Thakurufaanu who succeeded in defeating the foreigners and successfully created the next Muslim dynasty.
The Portuguese attempted to conquer the country several times after that along with the rajahs of Cannanore, South India. The Maldivians took the protection of the Dutch but many limitations including the lack of good ports, outbreak of malaria and other diseases, its remote position and other factors neither compelled the British nor the Dutch to establish colonial administration in the Maldives.
It was only to save the islands from the monopoly trade of the Bombay Borah merchants that the ruling sultan signed a treaty with the British that would recognize the statehood of the British and formalize their status as protector.
More Recent History of Maldives: The 20th Century
It was the 20th century that witnessed the introduction of the Maldives consitution and statehood. The century also saw some real hardships like shortage of rice and other basic necessities, the outbreak of illness and also death because of World War II. A new constitution was constructed again in 1942 and a new prime minister, Mohammed Amin Didi was elected.
The Maldives received its independence from the British on 26th of July in 1965 and also became a member of the UN.
Maumoon Abdul Gayoom, Maldivian ambassador to the UN became the President of the country and ruled it for three decades. It was under him that the country achieved an international profile and became a member of the South Asian Association for Regional Co-operation (SAARC) and the Commonwealth. Gayoom was replaced by Mohammed Nasheed and his Democrats in 2008 after Nasheed fought against the government, even going to prision for his controvercial criticisms and actions.
Interestingly and fittingly for the president of the low-lying Maldives islands, Nasheed is an advocate for climate change and environmental policy and even held a one-of-a-kind underwater, 'scuba' cabinet meeting. He has been recognised internatinally for his eco-efforts and has even been referred to as an 'eco-rock star'.
This focus on environmental preservation is good news for tourists and all the more reason to stay at our guest house where your impacts are minimized compared to resorts. Thanks to independent tourists like you the reefs, beaches and waters of this stunning island getaway will be maintained for years to come – you're helping to shape the history of the Maldives.

JERUSALEM (Jul. 10)
After a year of political silence, Knesseter Pinhas Sapir recently expressed his political views by sharply criticizing the Rabin Cabinet's policy. Speaking at a Labor Alignment faction meeting, Sapir asked: "Where are we going?" He thus hinted that the present leadership has no clear political goal.
Sapir's address raised special interest within the Israeli political community not only because of what he said but because he has evidently decided to end his self-imposed political silence. When he began speaking at the faction meeting, Knesseters and newsmen present asked each other. "Does this mean that Sapir is returning to active politics?"
Sapir has remained a dominant personality, with potentially huge power within the Labor Party. Everyone in the political arena remembers that the former Finance Minister could have been Premier if he had wished, A year ago, when Golda Meir's Cabinet resigned, Sapir was the undoubted strongman of the Labor Party. His numerous supporters and devotees pressed him to run for the Premiership, but he refused, His friends warned him that he would lose his political power if he accepted the Jewish Agency chairmanship. They told him that the country's political atmosphere could turn against him personally if he quit active politics, but he held to his decision.
The widespread belief is that Sapir preferred to cease his active role in politics because he fears the huge responsibility which weighs down on the shoulders of Israel's Premier. It is believed that Sapir does not consider himself able to cope with the cruel problems involved in running a State engaged in war or quasi-siege.
This sensitive man–who is deeply moved by every military incident that ends with casualties–did not want to take upon himself the responsibility for deciding matters involving the risk of human life. Sapir was shocked by the amount of casualties caused by the Yom Kippur War. His natural fear of the pain and bereavement that war inevitably brings was aggravated by his assessments of the likely scope and magnitude of a new war, should one break out.
In addition, Sapir realized that his veteran friends–Golda Meir, Haim Gvati (former Agriculture Minister) and others–were finally quitting politics. Unwilling to soldier on alone, the last representative of the "founding generation" (except for Yisrael Galili), Sapir decided to clear the way for Rabin's generation. Over the past year, Sapir's friends' warnings have been in the main realized. While he devoted himself to world Jewry's problems, staying abroad for long and frequent periods, the new Cabinet ministers naturally appeared in the focus of public attention.
Consequently, Sapir lost much of his power and influence. Gradually he realized that many of his previous friends had stopped visiting him, and that many of the issues he used to–and liked to–deal with became the interests of his successor, Gradually Sapir became aware that the new Cabinet had its own style and policy which considerably differed from those of the previous government, especially in the area of economics.
It seemed, however, that Sapir did not care. He totally immersed himself in the Jewish Agency's problems, making tremendous efforts to increase aliya and broaden and deepen the links between Israel and world Jewry. Sapir refrained from interfering in economic policy and played only a small role in party politics. It seemed that his warm and stormy person had genuinely escaped from politics, seeking quiet satisfaction in other areas.
Recently, however, this impression has changed, Sapir attempted to intervene in the discussions on the eventual establishment of a new Labor Party leadership. (He demanded that it include Abba Eban and Moshe Dayan–to which Rabin objected.) He was also directly involved in discussions among ex-Mapai leaders on how to revive Mapai as the central force in the Labor Party.
Most significantly, for the first time since the establishment of the Rabin Cabinet, Sapir has publicly criticized it. He urged the party and the government to draft an Israeli peace program, thus disagreeing with Rabin's policy which has favored the interim arrangements.
Political observers are analyzing the significance of Sapir's renewed intervention in politics. Does it mean that he has decided to return to the arena in order to restore his full political power? Does it mean that he intends to challenge Rabin's Premiership? Are there connections between him and the other "outsiders"–Dayan and Eban? Sapir's supporters reject these speculations, emphasizing that he has no personal ambition to return to power. However, this does not mean that Sapir won't challenge Rabin's policies should he believe they are leading the nation to war, Sapir's supporters stress.

You know what makes me happy during the Pacquiao-Margarito fight? No, it's not seeing the Manny win over Margarito. I smile every time I see him and his wife, Jingkee together. Remember that during his last fight it was a completely different story. They had problems with their relationship and there was a third party in the picture.
Now the picture the couple portray is entirely different. I see them together all the time. During his after fight concert, Manny even dedicated a song to his wife. I don't know why but I'm thrilled to see them happy together. This is just proof that you have it all – fame, fortune, success, and a happy family. 🙂

When your home needs a big burst of curb appeal on a little budget, there's one surface that can act like a giant blank canvas: your garage door. It's amazing how much a little hardware and some windows can transform an otherwise bland surface into a door that tells the story of your home and its unique architecture.
Choose Windows to Let the Sun Shine In
If you're considering a new garage door, don't skimp on the extras. The few dollars you spend on upgrading to a model with windows can pay dividends in curb appeal when you resell your home. After all, a solid door will do the job, but the windows and their style can give your home a personal touch.
Matching your garage door windows to the windows on your home can help tie the whole structure together, creating a sense of completeness for anyone driving by. When your garage door gives someone a reason to look at it, those windows and details may even create a sense that your home is bigger than it actually is.
There are two main types of windows in garage doors: the real kind and simulations. Simulated windows can be added to almost any type of garage doors, but in certain lighting it may become obvious that they're fake. However, if your garage door faces the west or is in an area with no trees and very bright sunlight, simulated garage door windows may be the best option for maintaining the energy efficiency of your home. Real windows let in light, which can heat up your garage and makes it hard to cool the rooms attached to it.
The Devil's in the Details
Adding windows to a garage door can really make it stand out and ties your garage more tightly to the rest of your home, but you can complete the stylistic illusion by installing garage door hardware. This type of hardware is rarely functional, instead it's used to give the impression that the door opens in a different way than a standard garage door or it reaches back to long ago garage styles that make sense with older homes.
These are the most common options for garage door hardware, but many others may be available depending on your hardware supplier:
It may be one of the biggest and most overlooked vertical space on your home, but if you let it your garage door can say a lot about who you are and what type of home you own. Choosing the right custom windows and hardware will turn your average door into a traffic stopper.

Baltic Course, Tallinn, 21.08.2014
Estonia's credit strengths are supported by steady economic growth that, demographic constraints notwithstanding, is aided by the country's diversified, albeit small, economy, its moderately high level of affluence and the longer-term prospects for economic convergence with the core euro area, Moody's Investors Service said in its annual review of the Estonian economy, reports LETA.
In addition, the country's A1 government bond rating remains supported by a track record of low general government debt and low financial deficits coupled with strong political consensus, very high institutional strength and low susceptibility to event risk, Moody's said.
The rating agency's report is an update to the markets and does not constitute a rating action.
Estonia's government bond rating of A1 (stable outlook) is supported by resilient economic growth. Moody's forecasts real GDP growth of 2.5% in 2014 and 3% in 2015. Moreover, Estonia is classified by the World Bank as a high-income country. "In 2013, GDP per capita, measured in purchasing power parity terms, was – at USD 23,144 – double that reported in 2002," says Kilbinder Dosanjh, a Moody's Vice President – Senior Analyst and author of the report.
In addition, Estonia has the lowest debt ratios among its A-rated peers. "We expect the general government debt-to-GDP ratio to fall to 9.6% of GDP amid healthy GDP growth and low budget deficits," adds Dosanjh. Moody's also highlights that the Estonian authorities also have a substantial financial buffer because of a large stock of liquid financial assets (equivalent to around 9.1% of estimated 2014 GDP).
Estonia benefits from a high degree of political consensus around its main fiscal policy goals, thus fostering policy continuity. Moody's observes that the country tends to score strongly on international (World Bank) governance surveys, and the rating agency notes that the country's institutions have demonstrated exceptional flexibility and policy continuity over the past five years.
However, Moody's also acknowledges Estonia's main credit challenges, which stem from the small size of its economy and its high degree of openness in comparison to those of most of its A-rated peers. It therefore remains vulnerable to contagion from shocks in the economies of its main trading partners. Other factors constraining the country's credit strength include a loan-to-deposit ratio in excess of 100%, but Moody's notes that funding risk for the banking system is contained by the commitment of parent banks in the Nordics to their local subsidiaries. Furthermore, a high level of foreign ownership of the domestic banking system reduces contingent liabilities to the government balance sheet.

text: Proliferations of mixtape-themed things exist in the art & design world, having hit a high point in the mid-2000's—where images of "vintage" cassette tapes covered everything from pillow cases to USB drives. What got lost somewhere in there was the sentiment that was originally attached to the archaic plastic medium, the sense of pride that comes from crafting (and usually gifting) someone with a perfect, personal selection of songs. Portland-based illustrator Kate Bingaman-Burt has embarked on a long-running series of mixtape drawings, where she picks up long-since discarded cassettes and makes a quick, humorous sketch…and she's taken submissions for the project for a while now. As a series, the fresh, expressive drawings reveal an intriguing cross-section of personalities, musical tastes and long-lost good intentions.

Graphene as a Buffer Layer for Silicon Carbide-on-Insulator Structures
AbstractWe report an innovative technique for growing the silicon carbide-on-insulator (SiCOI) structure by utilizing polycrystalline single layer graphene (SLG) as a buffer layer. The epitaxial growth was carried out using a hot-mesh chemical vapor deposition (HM-CVD) technique. Cubic SiC (3C-SiC) thin film in (111) domain was realized at relatively low substrate temperature of 750 °C. 3C-SiC energy bandgap of 2.2 eV was confirmed. The Si-O absorption band observed in the grown film can be caused by the out-diffusion of the oxygen atom from SiO2 substrate or oxygen doping during the cleaning process. Further experimental works by optimizing the cleaning process, growth parameters of the present growth method, or by using other growth methods, as well, are expected to realize a high quality SiCOI structure, thereby opening up the way for a breakthrough in the development of advanced ULSIs with multifunctionalities.

The video for 95.8 Capital FM played right before Tay took the stage at Hyde park and featured a whole bunch of artists like Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith, One Direction and, of course, Katy. The first time Katy appeared on the screen, there was a low booing, but it was clear that the crowd was showing their disapproval. The second time Katy appeared on the vid, the crowd erupted in a very loud boo, which was replaced by cheering when Taylor appeared on the screen right after.
It's not surprising that Tay's fans would boo Katy because when celebs are feuding, their loyal fans can sometimes get more upset about it than the stars themselves.
Neither Katy or Taylor has directly confirmed the feud, but there have been enough not-so-subtle jabs back and forth for people to make assumptions. In fact, Taylor's song "Bad Blood" is reportedly about her feud with Katy.
We're still holding out hope that these two settle their differences and come together to make the greatest pop superstar collab that ever was.
In the meantime, Tay did squash one feud rumor during the same concert - the one about her and Kendall Jenner. During her performance of "Style," Tay brought a bunch of her gal pals up on stage and Kendall was one of her peeps.

For years I've been searching books and the internet in search of resources to learn how to create knotted sculptures. But I never found anything. I wanted to knot in 3D! So I went to California to learn from knotters who know these techniques.
I left CA feeling the privilege and responsibility of preserving and promoting the techniques of sculptural knotting. It seemed to me that if I didn't do it, who would? So I not only learned these techniques, but also recorded them on video.
And now they are now available to everyone at http://knotmore.com/tutorials.html.
The teacher in the videos is Norman Sherfield. Norman has been knotting for over 30 years and was a fabulous teacher. You can see examples of his work on the below.
There are 4 videos so far. I recommend watching them in order as videos begin at a beginner level and advance to intermediate level.
In the first video Technique for Starting a Knotted Sculpture you will learn circular knotting techniques that allow you to start knotting around objects.
The second video Technique for Attaching Knotting to an Object teaches you how to attach your knotting to an object.
Technique for Creating a Tubular Knotted Core is the first video in the 2nd series. In this video you will be knotting through a found object, beginning with an inside-out tubular core.
And finally in the last video (so far – there's more coming!) Technique for Creating & Expanding a Knotted Core Through an Object you will be attaching the inside of a tubular core to an object.

RedEaredSlider writes "In science fiction, explorers wave around a single device and pick up many kinds of radiation — think of the tricorders on Star Trek or Dr. Who's sonic screwdriver. A professor at Oregon State University is bringing that a bit closer to reality, though in this case it's for finding radioactive material. It's a radiation spectrometer, and it works on a very old principle: particles and photons that hit certain materials will make them emit flashes of light. But for decades, radiation spectrometers had been limited to detecting only one kind of radiation at a time. David Hamby, an OSU professor of health physics, felt that there was a need for a device that could see at least two kinds of radiation, as well as be smaller than the models currently available."

suraj.sun passes along news from Oregon State University, where researchers have discovered a new strain of bacteria that may be able to aid cleanup efforts in the Gulf of Mexico. The bacteria "can produce non-toxic, comparatively inexpensive 'rhamnolipids,' and effectively help degrade polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, or PAHs — environmental pollutants that are one of the most harmful aspects of oil spills. Because of its unique characteristics, this new bacterial strain could be of considerable value in the long-term cleanup of the massive Gulf Coast oil spill, scientists say." In related news, Kevin Costner's centrifugal separator technology has gotten approval for deployment; now it is only waiting on funding from BP.
Hugh Pickens writes "Science Daily Headlines reports on research by Oregon State University marine geologist Chris Goldfinger showing that earthquakes of magnitude 8.2 (or higher) have occurred 41 times during the past 10,000 years in the Pacific Northwest. By extrapolation, there is a 37% chance of another major earthquake in the area in the next 50 years that could exceed the power of recent seismic events in Chile and Haiti. If a magnitude-9 quake does strike the Cascadia Subduction Zone, extending from northern Vancouver Island to northern California, the ground could shake for several minutes, highways could be torn to pieces, bridges may collapse, and buildings would be damaged or even crumble. If the epicenter is just offshore, coastal residents could have as little as 15 minutes of warning before a tsunami could strike. 'It is not a question of if a major earthquake will strike,' says Goldfinger, 'it is a matter of when. And the "when" is looking like it may not be that far in the future.'" Read below for more.

What does dictator mean?
Definitions for dictatorˈdɪk teɪ tər, dɪkˈteɪ tər
Here are all the possible meanings and translations of the word dictator.
Princeton's WordNet
a speaker who dictates to a secretary or a recording machine
dictator, potentate(noun)
a ruler who is unconstrained by law
authoritarian, dictator(noun)
a person who behaves in a tyrannical manner
"my boss is a dictator who makes everyone work overtime"
Originally, a magistrate without colleague in republican ancient Rome, who held full executive authority for a term granted by the senate (legislature), typically to conduct a war
A totalitarian leader of a country, nation, or government
A tyrannical boss, or authority figure
A person who dictates text (e.g. letters to a clerk)
A ruler or Fu00FChrer, the highest level of authority.
Origin: From dictator, from dicto, from dico.
Webster Dictionary
one who dictates; one who prescribes rules and maxims authoritatively for the direction of others
one invested with absolute authority; especially, a magistrate created in times of exigence and distress, and invested with unlimited power
Origin: [L.]
A dictator is a ruler who does not rule through democratic means. When other states call the head of state of a particular state a dictator, that state is called a dictatorship. The word originated as the title of a magistrate in ancient Rome appointed by the Senate to rule the republic in times of emergency. Like the term "tyrant", and to a lesser degree "autocrat", "dictator" came to be used almost exclusively as a non-titular term for oppressive, even abusive rule, yet had rare modern titular use. In modern usage, the term "dictator" is generally used to describe a leader who holds and/or abuses an extraordinary amount of personal power, especially the power to make laws without effective restraint by a legislative assembly. Dictatorships are often characterised by some of the following traits: suspension of elections and of civil liberties; proclamation of a state of emergency; rule by decree; repression of political opponents without abiding by rule of law procedures; these include single-party state, and cult of personality. The term "dictator" is comparable to – but not synonymous with – the ancient concept of a tyrant; initially "tyrant", like "dictator", did not carry negative connotations. A wide variety of leaders coming to power in a number of different kinds of regimes, such as military juntas, single-party states and civilian governments under personal rule, have been described as dictators. They may hold left or right-wing views, or can even be apolitical.
The Nuttall Encyclopedia
a magistrate invested with absolute authority in ancient republican Rome in times of exigence and danger; the constitution obliged him to resign his authority at the end of six months, till which time he was free without challenge afterwards to do whatever the interest of the commonwealth seemed to him to require; the most famous dictators were Cincinnatus, Camillus, Sulla, and Cæsar, who was the last to be invested with this power; the office ceased with the fall of the republic, or rather, was merged in the perpetual dictatorship of the emperor.

Now that summer has more or less arrived in Manitoba, questions are being raised about whether part of Highway 59 — a popular route from Winnipeg to cottage country — will ever be twinned.
Premier Greg Selinger announced earlier this week that the government will upgrade bridges and paving, and will immediately start working on plans to revamp the intersection of Highway 101 and Highway 59.
However, the announcement does not include plans to twin Highway 59 from the city north to Grand Beach, prompting some to wonder when the province will improve the busy and dangerous section of road.
At least 231 crashes were reported on Highway 59 between Winnipeg and Grand Beach in the past two years, and six people have been killed there since 2009.
"It's hard because people are in a hurry and, I mean, they pass when it's not safe … so you sort of really got to watch," said Dora Blanchard, who lives in Lakeshore Heights.
Alen Hocaluk, who lives on the Brokenhead Ojibway Nation and runs a gas bar near the highway, says many drivers who use the highway regularly want to see it twinned for safety reasons.
"Along the sides of the highway you'll see how terrible it is," he said. "You couldn't pull off the highway if you had a flat tire without basically falling in the ditch."
Since 1984, the provincial government has been trying to acquire a 40-hectare piece of land, owned by the Brokenhead Ojibway Nation, to expand the highway.
The two parties were working on brokering a deal, but it was put on hold two years ago.
Government officials told CBC News the deal was put on hold because it had to focus on other upgrades first, but talks are now set to resume.
"Now that we've come to that agreement … we don't want to wait another five to 10 years. We'd like implementation as quickly as possible," said Brokenhead Chief Jim Bear.
Bear said the First Nation had the land assessed in 2011 and he's waiting for a response from the province.

Management Agency, NBMA,
has stressed the need for healthy
environment, saying that the
safety of human health and that
of the environment cannot be
compromised by the Agency
irrespective of any scientific
technology involved.
The Director General of
NBMA, Mr. Rufus Ebegba gave
this hint recently in Abuja while
fielding questions Journalists on
the link between Biosafety and
Ebegba told Journalists there
is the need for Nigerians to
clearly know the major task
of the agency, noting that
NBMA was not promoting the
use of Genetically Modified
Organisms, GMOs.
He maintained that it was
not the business of the Agency
to promote the use of GMOs
but to ensure the safety of its
application, saying that the
science of Biosafety was to
meet the challenge to be the
boundary of the old and the new
technology, the place where
skills requires wisdom on top
The Director General said, "
It is not the role of the Agency
to either oppose or promote the
use of biotechnology since the
federal government has already
adopted the use of the new
technology in the country like
several countries of the world
as far back as 2001 and the
same government in its wisdom
established the National
Biosafety Management Agency
to amongst other things assess
the risks in terms of the likelihood
of occurrence of hazards and
severity of the consequences of
the technology."
Ebegba said that the risk
assessment was performed to
protect human health and the
environment from any adverse
effect in the practice of modern
biotechnology and use of
genetically modified organisms.
He also said that the Act
that established the Agency
prescribes a five years jail term
or N2.5 million fine or both for

A man of average height must stoop under the beams of the little mansard chamber in No. 20 Bonngasse.
His mansard-roofed summer mansion- called Bleak House - stood at what is now 13th and Geranium until it was torn down in 1916.
Alaska was hot on the minds of many in D.C. years before it won statehood
It has a mansard roof, and is in northern California.
Later, in the 1870s, with the French no longer Britain's naturalenemies, Second Empire architecture became popular, with its telltale mansard roofs, dormer windows and bracketed balconies.
Late Victorian, solidly brick built, it rose through three floors of diminishingly elaborate casement windows, the uppermost arched attractively and poking out from a fine mansard roof.
So perhaps the architect should put in for a three-storey building with a mansard roof (which would be a couple of feet taller than the building opposite), getting the developer four storeys.
He'd gone up there with another altar boy from Moosup; the two occupied separate rooms in the old Victorian house, a place whose long windows and mansard roof made it look like something out of the Addams Family.
A 1997 fire destroyed the top stories, including the mansard, of what was originally a six-story structure.
In "Paris Through a Window," a human-headed yellow cat perches on a window sill; the Eiffel Tower looms above mansard roofs; a parachute-jumper descends from the tower; an upside-down train and two figures float past; a blue-faced, Janus-headed man lurks in a corner, holding a heart in his blue palm.
With its mansard roof and intricately ornamental exterior, 901 Broadway was an obvious candidate for landmark status, which it received in 1977.

Engine problem
1993 Ford Explorer V8 Four Wheel Drive Automatic 156000 miles
My husband and I got a used motor sometime last April. About a month after we got it back my husband realized it was burning oil (not leaking). Brought it back to the mechanic (we have a warranty). He looked at it and said we need another motor. We are still waiting for him to find one. He says these motors are hard to find because people have a tendency to run these cars into the ground. I'm really questioning that. Would it actually take about 8 months to find a motor? Or what is this guy up to?Supposedly this guy does do very good business.
have the same problem?

The following article explains the recommended process on how to find a presenter using the Presenter Request feature, for an event that has a proposed date that is yet to be confirmed. Note: Presenter requests are only available on the Arlo Enterprise plan. To upgrade, contact the Arlo Sales team.
In this article
- Setup draft event and send a presenter request(s)
- Process for presenters
- Process for administrators when a presenter request response is received
Setup draft event and send presenter request(s)
- From the main menu, select Events.
- Press New Event.
- Navigate to the Schedule tab. Important: Ensure that you have assigned either an event/template manager and support staff to the event to receive the presenter request response notifications.
- Press Add Presenter. Note: For Multi-session events, you will need to add a session to see this.
- Enter the presenters' name in the contact selector, and tick Send schedule request. Note: Press Search to use the Presenter Scheduler.
- Press Add.
- The presenter will be added to the event with a message 'A request will be sent on save'.
- Add additional presenters if required.
- Continue through the event setup wizard. Note: Read how to enable an outstanding task notification for the event/template manager and support staff to be alerted of any outstanding presenter requests on an event.
- Create the event as Draft. Note: If the event is saved as a draft a presenter request will still be sent.
The presenter requests will be sent to the selected presenters immediately.
When a response is made an email will be sent to the event/template manager and support staff based on the schedule outlined in the Presenter Request settings. This process also works if the platform is using the Event Confirmation workflow, but presenter confirmation will not be sent until the event has been approved and confirmed.
Process for presenters
The presenter(s) will be sent a request to present at the event, and have the ability to accept or decline the request. They can also leave a note for the administrator when submitting their response, for example why they cannot accept the request.
Process for administrators when a presenter request response is received
When the presenter submits a response to the request, event/template manager and support staff will receive a notification based on the Presenter Request settings.
Example: Presenter Requests Summary
Based on the response received from the presenter, the administrator should do one of the following actions;
- If the request is accepted, approve the draft event. Presenter confirmation will then be sent to the presenter(s). Note: If you only need one presenter and have sent multiple requests, you need to cancel the outstanding requests.
- If the request is declined either;
- Send a new presenter request to a different presenter
- Edit the event to suit the presenter (e.g. change the date) and send a new request.

I stopped by central London a couple of days ago and had a look around the Oxford Street and Bond Street areas. Here are some of my beauty sightings:
– Paul & Joe's spring 2014 makeup collection has been launched in Fenwick. All the items have been released except Eye Color Trios and Compacts for Eye Color Trios. According to the SA, they will be released in early February.
– RMK's spring 2014 makeup collection has been launched in Selfridges. The new Kaleidoscope Eyes palettes have a cream-to-powder texture. I of course tested the W Crayon & Gloss Lips in 04 (with the blue lip gloss). 02 (the other variation featured in my post) also appeals to me, as its pink lip gloss has fine blue sparkles.
– I had a look at Michael Kors' new makeup line, which was launched last month and is exclusive to House of Fraser on Oxford Street (information from House of Fraser). The Sporty Sexy Glam collection features three namesake looks with items for the lips (Lip Lacquer and Lip Luster), nails (Nail Lacquer) and body (Bronze Powder). (There are also three matching fragrances.) The gold packaging is quite chic and glamorous. I am looking forward to seeing blushers and eyeshadows in the future.
– In Debenhams, I saw Calvin Klein's CK One Color Cosmetics line. Generally I was not too impressed. I didn't love the packaging, and none of the Cream + Powder Blush Duos or the Powder Eyeshadow Quads caught my attention.
– Also in Debenhams, I came across Cargo (which is next to Calvin Klein). It seems that the Essential Eyeshadow Palettes, two of which I reviewed in 2008, are still available.
– According to one SA, SUQQU's spring 2014 makeup collection will be out in late February.
– According to one SA, Clinique's Cheek Pop will be out in late March.
– I stopped by John Lewis on Oxford Street and I really liked the refurbished beauty floor. The soft and warm ambiance has a continental feel and it reminds me of Le Bon Marché, my favorite department store in Paris.
– I was trying to find Dior's Trianon Palette in 002 Coquette but there was no success. With Dior, the UK usually gets the same color variations released in Asia, but it doesn't seem to be the case with the Trianon Palette.

We create bespoke systems that are entirely tailored to the needs and users of education institutions. 4RStudent can be implemented on top of your bespoke IT infrastructure to provide your institution's students, prospects and staff with a range of features.
Powerful Personalisation
4RStudent allows you to serve users with personalised web content. Your website will become responsive to factors such as search terms used by visitors and student profile attributes, to provide dynamic content, for instance, targeted courses, recommended extra-curriculum activities and recent marks.
Complete Integration
4RStudent integrates with different systems to create unique experiences for students. It pulls data from job sites to dynamically provide students with suggested jobs based on courses they select, and it extracts data from social media channels to calculate a 'sentiment score' for individual courses.
Our solution also integrates with your existing IT infrastructure, such as Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems.
Advanced filtering
Through Smart Sort, users can view courses based on a wide range of criteria, imported from internal and external data sources, to find courses that match their preferences.
Reporting and analysis tools
Real-time analytics tools are built into 4RStudent, so you can create campaigns that are driven by actual user behaviour. It also generates custom reports using student profiles to direct your campaign targeting.
