FIFA 17 is on the way. We have FIFA 17 coins or FUT 17 coins on sale if you want more. You can also get cheap FIFA 17 coins to help you save money. More information will be available on mmo4pal.com.
Buy Fifa UT Coins will be officially on discount sales on mmo4pal.com, landing platform for the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and PC. If you are some sort of FIFA fan, you must know this exhilarating news. Before its launch, EA has released lots of video and news to introduce the modern features in FIFA seventeen, such as a completely new story mode "Journey", a new engine "frost" as well as an intelligence system. Microsoft and Sony have announced the lack of the current exhibition inside Cologne conference, seems to have overshadowed your entire show, but EA still put into effect a whole new game content over the conference for us. Now the Cologne event has begun, EA not only publish the newest news about "FIFA17″. At Gamescom 2016 Gamereactor chatted to FIFA 17′s Direct Producer Garreth Reeder about the game and more especially The Journey, a new narrative experience focussing increasing of one player.
In the new report mode "Journey"in FIFA 17 coins, a man named Alex Hunter of London will become his football dream vacation. This is the initial attempt of FIFA Series since 23 in the past. The creative director Matt Prior of FIFA 17 discussed the role of Hunt: "Hunter's grandfather was a legendary figure of English football in 1960s. Apparently there are numerous difference of football as time. And they played football given that they loved this sports, rather than a gang of millionaires played football these days. And Hunter's father was also a promising player, but he had to leave the pitch as a consequence of an injury prematurely. In FIFA 17, Hunter is a regular man, not born with any silver spoon in his mouth nevertheless the football genes has been integrated into his blood. "
Reeder said "ever since I've started getting work done in video games I've planned to deliver that player connection with becoming a footballer and living that life as well as seeing what life is like off the pitch, so we knew we desired to Buy Fifa 17 Points make that story and also we knew we didn't have all the experience to achieve that. We brought a large amount of new people to the team who done narrative experiences before, we worked with many really amazing writers to bring that authenticity, and then we also caused some players, Harry Kane, Marcus Rashford, who had gone through some of the experiences in their personal lives. We wanted to ensure it was authentic and that we were telling it the correct way so I think we did a great job on that".
So I think any time people play The Journey they notice their performances on the pitch, how they answer questions in post-match interviews or speaking with their manager or teammates, the way that their particular personality is shaped as well as the way that they play on the pitch, will change certain scenes and certain regions of the story and give a different context to the actual story. Yes, the team of FIFA 17 Coins has consulted using the designers of EA's BioWare who will be good at telling story to make certain the story is suit on the FIFA players. These will all function as the plot elements of this story mode in FIFA 17 Coins. Hunter can be the left wing, right wing or centre, and the player can not make him into the midfield or defense participants. He can only be described as a forward and responsible for scoring goals. But in the real FIFA 17 game, player can choose merely control Hunter or control the entire team.

US ethanol exports to Brazil surge on wide-open arbitrage
The combination of US ethanol prices at 12-year lows and soaring prices in Brazil has opened a wide arbitrage to import anhydrous ethanol from the US.
"We see a potential anhydrous export from US to Brazil of 250,000 cu m in February and further 200,000 cu m in March," said a US-based trader.
A large Brazilian trading company estimated that January to March the total volume of anhydrous imported from US might reach 712,000 cu m, being 270,000 cu m arriving through the Center-South ports and the balance 442,000 cu m through North-Northeast ports.
Estimates from S&P Global Analytics point to Brazilian imports from the US of 650,000 cu m in the first quarter of 2018, split between 250,000 cu m into the Center-South and 400,000 cu m into the North-Northeast.
After the January-March period imports from US were estimated by a source to drop to 120,000-140,000 cu m per month.
Despite the open arbitrage, a logistical bottleneck might hamper the high volume expected to leave US ports.
"It has not been easy to charter motor tankers and find terminal vacancy. The demand from other importers has been strong too," said a US exporter.
Products ranging from sugar to oil products flow through Brazilian ports, both as imports and exports. The competition for space in tanks can create logistical headaches.
"Many other countries [are] buying, so they compete for trains and dock space," said another trader.
Demand for diesel and gasoline imports is much larger than for ethanol.
"I have estimated that there should be 20 full-size midrange vessels of diesel per month and five-seven full-size midrange vessels of gasoline [in 2018]," said a US broker.
Offers for the Brazilian anhydrous specification, ANP, were also limited as not every US producer can make Brazilian specification.
S&P Global Platts has recently updated the premium for anhydrous ANP grade to 15 cents/gal from 10 cents/gal over the front-month Chicago ethanol swap to calculate the arbitrage from the US to Brazil. The higher premium reflects the difficulty in finding ANP product from US plants.
Unlike Brazil's Center-South, its North-Northeast frequently imports anhydrous from US as it has a structural deficit of ethanol. The North-Northeast also offers certain tax benefits when importing ethanol, lowering the net cost.
Imported anhydrous ethanol from the US could land in the port of Suape in the North-Northeast at Real 2,143.19/cu, according to S&P Global Platts' arbitrage calculation.
Considering the S&P Global Platts anhydrous ethanol assessment DAP — Delivered at Place — Suape on Friday at Real 2,240/cu m, there was an open arbitrage of Real 96.81/cu m to import anhydrous from the US.
The S&P Global Platts DAP Suape assessment is published weekly on Fridays.
The Brazilian anhydrous ethanol price started to climb at the beginning of the Center-South intercrop period in early December. It rose from Real 2,010/cu m on December 1 to Real 2,110/cu m on January 8, the highest level since the previous January.
Anhydrous ethanol prices reflected the surge in hydrous ethanol, as anhydrous is priced at a premium to hydrous ethanol after excluding the ICMS tax.
Hydrous ethanol has seen strong demand since August 2017 after gasoline price increases announced by Petrobras, the state oil company.
Anhydrous ethanol is used in Brazil at a 27% blend ratio into gasoline, while hydrous is used directly in flex fuel cars. Ethanol is more competitive at pumps until its price reaches 70% of that of gasoline, so hydrous reflects any gasoline price movement.
Center-South Brazil could meet its own demand for ethanol without importing anhydrous from the US, but the wide-open arbitrage is attracting traders' attention.
With the North-Northeast's structural deficit profits are larger sending ethanol there as the arbitrage opens at lower prices.
"The arbitrage is open more in the North-Northeast, so there is more product flowing there," said the US broker.
Anhydrous ethanol production in the Center-South was recorded at 10.77 billion liters in 2017, up 0.5% year on year, while sales from mills to the domestic market in the same period was at 9.75 billion liters, down 7.1% in the same period, according to data from industry association UNICA.
Looking for the estimate for the next crop in the Center-South — April 2018-March 2019 — 55% of the sugarcane will be directed towards ethanol, up from 53.07% in the current season, according to the latest projections by S&P Global Platts Analytics.
The benchmark Argo ethanol market, the primary reference for US ethanol, tumbled to 12-year lows in early January as cold weather caused problems moving product out of the Argo, Illinois, terminal.
Ice along the Mississippi and Illinois rivers reduced barge carrying capacities and drove prices lower.
With prices low, buyers stepped into the market and added some support, but the logistical issues created some headaches moving product to the main export hubs of Houston and New York Harbor.
"Guys would love to take February exports but things are just too tight," said another US broker.
Even so, ethanol prices in the US remain comparatively cheap for blending. Prices have climbed the past two days in the Argo market as February brought new life to the market with January's hedging activity moving into the past.
Demand for US ethanol is likely to keep exports moving out of the country. Cheap feedstock prices and the scale of the US industry frequently means a robust export program for domestic producers.
And with special equipment needed to produce international specification producers can find a premium for export product.
"There's a lot of demand and limited supply of low water content ethanol," said the first US broker. "[US prices] would have to go up a lot more because the arbitrages to Southeast Asia, India and Brazil are wide open."

NORCO – Ed Graham, mayor of Chino Hills, sees no reason why his city and neighboring Chino shouldn't be part of the same state Assembly, state Senate and congressional districts.
"We share the same school district," he said. "We have the same chamber of commerce. … Our two major shopping centers are on the same street, across the street from one another."
But Chino resident Diane Boudreaux couldn't disagree more. She said Chino Hills looks down on her city, and she doesn't want the two to stick together.
In Chino Hills, she said Thursday, "there is an air of ridicule toward Chino proper."
Those competing bits of testimony – both shared Thursday evening during a meeting of the California Citizens Redistricting Commission – highlight the difficult and possibly divisive choices that commission will have to make over the next several months.
Thursday's meeting was one of nearly two dozen the commission is holding across the state to get input from Californians about how they think new Assembly, Senate and congressional districts should be drawn.
This is the first time a commission – rather than lawmakers themselves – has had the responsibility of drawing new district lines, and the first time ordinary citizens have had a chance to weigh in.
At Thursday's meeting, and at those already held in Los Angeles County, the Central valley and Northern California, commissioners asked speakers to identify and define "communities of interest" – be they neighborhoods, cities or groups of cities.
Some speakers had only the most general sense of what they'd like to see – keeping the city of San Bernardino intact, for instance – while others presented plans for multiple districts covering most of the county.
Walter Hawkins, an activist with the San Bernardino area's Westside Action Group and the Inland Empire African American Redistricting Coalition, suggested an Assembly district combining San Bernardino, Rialto, Grand Terrace and other communities, and another combining High Desert cities with cities in Los Angeles County's Antelope Valley.
The group of cities that got perhaps the most attention Thursday was the four-city area that currently makes up the 61st Assembly district: Pomona, Ontario, Montclair and Chino.
Several speakers asked that those four cities be kept together. Some asked that Claremont and La Verne join in as well, while others asked the commission not to add Chino Hills to the mix.
"My mother in-law lives in Pomona but works in Montclair," said La Verne resident Angela Sanbrano. "My niece lives in Ontario and works in Pomona. That's how interconnected these cities are."
Melody Kelly, an Ontario resident, said the boundaries between Ontario, Pomona, Montclair and Chino "are really artificial."
And Boudreaux said there's nothing artificial about the separation between Chino Hills and Chino.
"There's something about the geography with the hills," she said.
Geography was a key concern for Lake Arrowhead resident Annie Buchanan. She said she wants communities in the San Bernardino Mountains – from Crestline to Big Bear – to be part of the same districts. Now, they're split between two Assembly districts.
Buchanan said she knows the mountain communities don't have enough residents to have districts of their own, but she recommended having mountain communities share districts with the eastern San Bernardino Valley cities of Redlands and Highland.
"We have a closer affiliation with the communities to the south of us … than to the north," she said, noting that mountain residents shop at stores in Highland and attend events in Redlands.
Thursday's meeting was the first held in the Inland Empire. Another is scheduled for May 12 in Palm Springs.
After the commission draws preliminary maps in June, the commission will hold another set of meetings. One is tentatively scheduled for June 19 in San Bernardino.

Hi there,
first of all, thanks for the great plugin! :slight_smile:
Now, I have two questions:
1. I have a calendar where it should be possible for the clients to select the duration. Actually, I can set it to for example to 30 mins. But, my clients, should be able to select more than one appointment in one time. So, for example, they select an 3 appointments with 30 minutes each and have so one appointment with a duration of 90 mins. You know what I mean? :slight_smile:
2. Is it possible to create serial appointments? So, for example, every Thursday from 6pm to 8.30pm is the exact same appointment. Can I add this?
If both things are not possible at the moment, what would it cost to do it for me? :slight_smile:
Thanks for now!

warm up: parallelism & restrictive & NONRESTRICTIVE clauses -
- Parallelism is the use of similar grammatical forms or sentence structures to balance and emphasize related ideas in a sentence. Using parallelism will help your readers understand what you are trying to communicate and improve your writing's clarity.
Mentor sentences from literature:
"Humanity has advanced, when it has advanced, not because it has been sober, responsible, and cautious, but because it has been playful, rebellious, and immature." ----- Tom Robbins Still Life with Woodpecker
"The wheels wheeled, the chairs spun, the cotton candy tinted the faces of children, the bright leaves tinted the woods and hills. A cluster of amplifiers spread the theme of love over everything and everybody; the mild breeze spread the dust over everything and everybody. Next morning, in the Lafayette Hotel in Portland, I went down to breakfast and found May Craig looking solemn at one of the tables and Mr. Murray, the auctioneer, looking cheerful at another." - E.B White Goodbye to Forty-Eighth Street
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair. - Charles Dickens Great Expectations
Restrictive and non restrictive clauses
A restrictive clause is necessary for the noun or part of speech it modifies, without it the sentence would not have the same meaning. Restrictive clauses, therefore, must be in the sentence and therefore, they are not set off by commas.
Musicians who sell millions of albums should make millions of dollars.
The restrictive clause is: "who sell millions of albums" and indicates that only those musicians who are able to sell millions of albums should be paid millions of dollars.
What if we were to add commas and make it non-restrictive?
Musicians, who sell millions of albums, should make millions of dollars.
This changes the meaning & suggests that all musicians should be paid millions of dollars, regardless of how many albums they sell.
What about this sentence?
The man who is wearing the blue sweater is my father.
In this sentence, "who is wearing the blue sweater" is a restrictive clause because there could be many men in the direction I am pointing, but there is only one who is wearing a blue sweater.
Non-restrictive Clauses: Clauses that are not necessary or essential for the word it modifies... In other words, if this clause or phrase were to be taken out of your sentence, the meaning of the sentence would not change. These should be set off by commas.
Example: My aunt, who is deeply religious, goes to church every Sunday.
If we take out "who is deeply religious" in this sentence, it would read:
My aunt goes to church every Sunday.
The reader would still get the meaning about the aunt.
To Summarize:
A restrictive clause is one that is essential to the meaning of the sentence element that it modifies. In other words, if a restrictive clause were taken out of the sentence, the sentence would not carry the same meaning.
A nonrestrictive clause is one that is nonessential to the meaning of the sentence element that it modifies. In other words, if a nonrestrictive clause were taken out of the sentence the sentence would carry essentially the same meaning.
Now, your turn to practice:
1. My father who drives a red car was late to pick me up.
2. The green vase that is on the top shelf is very expensive.
3. Keenan asked Victor, who was in his class, if he could have a ride.
4. The thief hid the money that he had stolen from the store.
5. Amanda spoke to the clerk who was helping her.
6. The letter, which was written in blue ink, told Eugene the location of the key
Here's how it will look on the STAAR:
Sentence in Selection: Yet many of our students who work very hard move on to the "real-world" without much life experience.
Correct Answer:
Yet many of our students, who work very hard, move on to the "real-world" without much life experience.
Why are commas needed?
Today, we will be writing a rough draft of an expository essay using the prewriting you have already completed. Let's look at some good samples of what this looks like:

Today I went to another library branch to supervise a programme called "Finding my place". This programme is about getting "at risk" youth into another environment and workshopping ways to keep them at school, or prepare them for the hard world that is out there for anyone who leaves school early with out any specific goals.
I think today's session with writer Mark Greenwood went well. Mark had brought his drum kit along and was trying to encourage the kids to give it a go – you know find your passion and follow your dreams style (which is a legitimate path these days). Not one of the kids would have a go – I couldn't believe it – I would be up there in a shot if I had been invited. All my life anytime I was near drums I was ordered not to touch etc. Here was Mark with the sticks showing the kids what to do and they were all frightened of looking like idiots and were embarressed. Oh well, they'll regret thier mispent youth!
Later on I went to lunch with 2 of my girlfriend from work. I had a lovely bowl of gnocci. It was my friend Donna's birthday treat – happy birthday Donna!
Then I went back to work and had a short meeting with the City Librarian regarding our marketing strategy (strategy?) which was fun, we are off to do some field work to see another library system tomorrow – time away from the office – yay!!
Got home and Joel and I had Subway rolls and now I am totally ready to go to bed (I'm tired, really!) But we have to pack up our things to go to Mount Barker to visit the In-laws this weekend. So it will be another couple of hours before I hit the mattress.

This is alternative content.
Jablonec nad Nisou is the administrative, cultural and recreational centre of the Jizera Mountains. It lies in the north-east of Bohemia in the valley of Lužická Nisa and its tributaries.
Although the first written record regarding Jablonec dates back to 1356, a permanent settlement came about in the 16th century, when the first glassworks and a church were built in Mšeno. A major change occurred in the second half of the 17th century. Thanks to its favourable location, glass production started developing rapidly as did trade. In the middle of the 18th century, the first trinkets appeared and brought the town both wealth and fame.
In 1866, Jablonec was raised to the status of a town by a decree from emperor Franz Joseph I. Notable buildings and even entitě quarters are living proof of the wealth that flowed into Jablonec in the years prior to World War I. Two prominent buildings were constructed, the Church Of The Sacred Heart Of Jesus on the Upper Square and the town hall on today's Mírové Square.
The most successful sport club in the town is the FK Baumit Jablonec football club, which in the 2009-2010 season placed 2nd in the Czech first division.
Notable figures born in Jablonec include the architect Josef Zasche, author of the old-catholic Holy Cross Church and the Roman Catholic Church Of The Sacred Heart Of Jesus, as well as the writer and poet Gustav Leutelt and the conductor Peter Hermann Adler.

It's good to see that the last issue of Captain America (which I raved about in this review) wasn't just a one-time thing.
The second issue by the new creative team (storytellers Mark Waid and Chris Samnee) is another terrific adventure, as the classic approach continues to expunge the rank odor of the recent Secret Empire nonsense.
By "classic" I mean the series has moved back to the basics: great artwork; a story clearly and imaginatively told; lots of heart in evidence; heroes interacting with real people; a good villain (and one who will benefit from future expansion on his backstory); some well-placed humor; moments of heart and inspiration; and some compelling sub-plots slowly unfolding.
What more could we ask?
I'm loving this series, and I certainly hope this team sticks around for a nice, long run on Cap.

OK – I know I'm crap at marketing, but I'm great at re-cycling! 😀 Treat this as 'another chance to see' the recent blog tour that launched the eBook, only in it's spiritual home (well at least where it was written, since it's permanently on display on the actual book blog). The printed edition is now well and truly out there, sailing down that big ole river and out onto the oceans of literary consciousness, so let's mooch around in style for several days worth of freebooting-related postings. Banana Daquiri anyone?
Go ahead – fill your boots and maybe get your own tincture of choice too while you're amusing yourself. We won't tell!❤
Day 3 ~ Cover Story
Even if I wasn't a graphic designer by trade, as every author knows (whether or not they're a best-selling one!), books are judged by their covers, especially if it's a bad one!
Once I'd decided on my quirky title for A Freebooter's Fantasy Almanac, I then had to think long and hard about how to convey what's in the book visually. With fantasy to the fore in the title, this left me with a certain amount of leeway for interpreting the buccaneering approach to imaginative reinvention… There was also the 'real world' aspect, in that fantasy writing and roleplay was wonderful therapy for my recovery and reconstruction of my true personality. Whatever made the cover had to reflect those themes strongly.
In contrast to my earliest obsession with mythology and fantasy, real life teaches us that good isn't always triumphant and that the flip side of dreaming is having nightmares. So I started to ponder on the nature of fate and the fantastic. On how life can also take you to places you never expected, or even wanted to go to.
Almost inevitably this led me to some illustrations for the tarot that I'd made about 5 years ago. The ones that most equated to the prolonged and deep-seated struggle I'd had with depression, meant that I gravitated to the images for The Hanged Man, the King of Swords, The Hierophant or Seer, and The Tower (of Destruction) as depicted below
I concentrated on those four cards, because they all scoped in the freebooting concept in some way (The Hierophant was inspired by Odin, the one-eyed Allfather of Norse myth, which also has strong links to Middle Earth). However, because I'd chosen a lighthouse and a wild seascape, complete with white horses in the waves and Poseidon in the background for the Tower, this literally blasted the competition out of the water with its connotations of catastrophic events and fantasmagorical creatures! How much swash-buckling can you take?
Typography is another of my passions. My father was a traditional sign-writer and maker so fonts had always been on my radar, along with paint and brushes from the moment I could hold a crayon. Because my brand of fantasy leans very much to the gothic and often the 'romantic', I chose two distinct styles to fuse together into a pleasing assemblage with the imagery, and my cover solution was complete!
If you'd like to see the rest of the artwork for my fantasy tarot major arcana, click the link –janowyn.deviantart.com/gallery/28530111/DreamWorlds-Gallery
For the back cover I chose a more obvious pirate image, that's continued into the book as a device to separate longer sections, and coupled that with the main title artwork.
A Freebooter's Fantasy Almanac back blurb
This is poetry, wrapped in fantasy, within a memoir… Or, to put it another way, it's a true tale that might well apply to many fantasy fans and gamers who can't be bothered with keeping their realities separated from their more lurid imaginings.
In my case, this is a sort of 'real' cyberspace profiling, during a phase of my life when roleplay truly did need to be therapy, because what was happening around me for real was not what I wanted to participate in. So, buckle up your swash and prepare to witness a titanic battle played out on the field of sanity – where what happens in your head is the only truth that matters.

Read full description of the books:
On their way to start a new life, Tula and her family travel on the Prairie Rose, a colony ship headed to a planet in the outer reaches of the galaxy. All is going well until the ship makes a stop at a remote space station, the Yertina Feray, and the colonist's leader, Brother Blue, beats Tula within an inch of her life. An alien, Heckleck, saves her and teaches her the ways of life on the space station.
When three humans crash land onto the station, Tula's desire for escape becomes irresistible, and her desire for companionship becomes unavoidable. But just as Tula begins to concoct a plan to get off the space station and kill Brother Blue, everything goes awry, and suddenly romance is the farthest thing from her mind.

8 Best Natural Herbs And Supplements For Anxiety
There are many excellent herbs and supplements for anxiety.
Thousands of people have found relief by reading THE DAILY MEDITATION's guide to stopping meditation with anxiety.
But as well as meditating you might like to use some herbs and supplements for anxiety.
Recent systematic review of studies, completed by the GNIF (Global Neuroscience Initiative Foundation) have shown that natural remedies for anxiety and herbs for anxiety offer effective treatment without serious side effects (1).
These are the best herbal remedies for anxiety.
8 Best Herbs & Supplements For Anxiety
1. B Complex:
B Complex is one of the best natural remedies for anxiety. According to the Global Neuroscience Initiative Foundation, B Complex is essential for "stress management, neurotransmitter balance and energy production". The best supplement for anxiety are B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9 and B12. It's best to find a B Coimplex that includes all 8 of these essential vitamins.
2. Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA):
GABA is known to produce a calming effect on the brain that is similar to the effect of Xanax and Valium. GABA is an amino acid and neurotransmitter that helps to relieve anxiety by preventing neurons firing that create stress and anxiety. GABA is produced naturally but can also be found in supplement form. It is advised to take 200 – 600 milligrams of GABA each day (7).
3. Magnesium:
According to a study published in Current Medical Research and Opinion, Magnesium, when combined with Crataegus Oxyacantha and Eschscholtzia (Everygreen Hawthorn and California Poppy) is more effective at treating anxiety than placebos. It is also a highly effective way of dealing with muscle tension. It does also result in loose stool, however and has been known to interfere with other medications. It is recommended to take 200 to 300 milligrams daily.
4. Passionflower:
One of the best herbs for anxiety is Passionflower.
According to a study published in the Journal of Clinical Pharmacy and Therapeutics (8), Passionflower is one of the best natural rememedies for anxiety when 45 drops are taken daily. It is very effective at relieving the symptoms of anxiety and is not known to have any serious side effects, though it can cause drowsiness if used in conjunction with antidepressants.
5. Relora:
Relora is a comination of extracts from Amur Corktree and Magnolia Bark. It is used frequently in traditional Chinese medicine. Magnolia Bark is believed to help relieve stress because it contains the compounds honokiol and Magnolol. Be certain to consult a doctor before taking Relora, especially when pregnant.
6. Rescue Remedy:
The Rescue Remedy was created by Edward Bach, a British physician, and was intended to be used to relieve acute emotional stress.
Rescue Remedy is a combination of Clematis, Star of Bethlehem, Impatiens, Cherry Plum and Rock Rose. It is effective at treating shock, inattentiveness, irritation, impatience, irrational thoughts and panic attack.
7. Valerian:
Valerian is a mild sedative which is very effective in treating insomnia but is also a natural remedy for anxiety, agitation, stress, muscle tension, mental strain and muscle spasms.
Research has shown that Valerian can be an effective a treatment for anxiety (9). It is not known to have any serious side effects though it is advised to avoid the herb if you have liver disease or if taking antidepressants or drugs that depress the central nervous system.
8. The highest rated supplement for anxiety
At the time of writing this guide, the highest rated anxiety supplement on Amazon was Ashwagandha.
The company calls it an "all-natural 1000mg root powder helps your body adapt to stress faster and experience natural levels of relief, providing you with a zen-state relaxation without any harsh side effects."
The reviews are seriously impressive: 4.6 out of 5 from 733 reviews. I'm sold.

Sheri subscribed to Audible. She loved it. Audible really worked when she was on the road a bunch.
I LOVE the idea of audiobooks for RVers.
- RVers take long trips and an audio book can be a more positive experience than radio, particularly since you can actually CHOOSE your subject matter.
- When there are two of you RVing, by both of you listening to an audio book will create a shared experience which will strengthen your relationship.
- You can learn new things while running down the open road.
- You can convert monotonous time into productive time.
- It can make getting from point A to point B seem to go faster.
- You'll be more interesting when you get to your next destination (because you know more).
Give Audible a try and let RV52.com know how it turns out. I'd love to hear your opinions.

Hello Internet is a YouTube channel that contains video versions of the Hello Internet podcast. It is the only podcast I listen to, so I figured it was worth spotlighting.
Hello Internet is a podcast that is run by C.G.P Grey (the creator of the C.G.P Grey channel) and Brady Haran (the creator of channels like Numberphile). They basically discuss…well…stuff. It's really hard to describe the topics of conversation between these two folks. All I can tell you is that I find it very interesting.
The Hello Internet podcast is a rational discussion between two people on random topics. The topics of conversation vary greatly, so it is quite difficult to specify a theme to the podcast. Topics range from how toothbrush recommendations to their opinions on the education system and schools.
Another question one might ask is "What's to watch in the video?". Simple answer (at least, at the time of this post) is: nothing. The videos on the channel generally involve an executive toy (something like a drinking bird, or an oil & water spinner) that loops throughout the course of the video.
The podcast displays a very good level of rapport between C.G.P Grey and Brady. Their conversation flows naturally and logically, making it easy to listen to, without boring you out of your mind. It's worth checking out, but note that each podcast lasts around 90 minutes, so it might take you a while to get through if you're dedicating time exclusively for this.

New Software For Simrad® NSS Evo2, NSO Evo2 And GO XSE Series Displays
Significant Enhancements to Upper Water Column, Reduction of Noise and Clutter As Well As Improved Overall Clarity Highlight Latest Software Upgrade
A new software update was announced today for Simrad® NSS evo2, NSO evo2, GO5 XSE and GO7 XSE displays, providing major sonar enhancements, new Navionics® functionality and general software improvements.
The update includes significant improvements to TVG (Time Variable Gain) and Auto Gain, Network Dual Sounder, Navionics® SonarChart™ Live, Navionics Dock-to-Dock Autorouting (not available in US) and Navionics Plotter Sync, in addition to NMEA 2000® entertainment enhancements.
· TVG (Time Variable Gain) functionality has been significantly enhanced to remove clutter at the top of the screen without affecting fish targets near the surface. With this enhancement, TVG reveals fish hidden in the surface clutter rather than filtering all returns near the surface, which at times, would reduce the usefulness of the top portion of the water column. That makes a huge difference for anglers fishing the top half of the water column, allowing them to remove clutter caused by suspended sediment, wave action and other disturbances, without affecting fish targets. The update also simplifies the TVG scale, refining TVG levels down to four options, making it easier to use. Additionally, Auto Gain calculations have been improved to yield better performance across a wider range of transducer installs and vessel speeds.
· Network Dual Sonar technology allows users to view and control two independent, live sonar sources — from separate locations on the vessel — on a single display. Eliminating the need for separate displays, or alternating networked sonar sources on a single display, this powerful new feature provides anglers with a comprehensive picture of underwater activity with convenient and complete control.
· SonarChart Live gives anglers the capability to create 1' (.5m) HD bathymetric maps – in real time — on NSS evo2, NSO evo2 and GO XSE displays. Maps are created by converting sonar returns into detailed contour maps as you navigate. Ideal for anglers fishing a new location, SonarChart Live helps raises awareness of shallow areas and reveals uncharted bottom features. SonarChart Live requires a Navionics mapping card with an active chart updates subscription.
· Navionics Dock-to-Dock Autorouting (not available in US territorial waters) creates intelligent, detailed routes for navigating through cramped, narrow passageways and channels. The sophisticated Navionics algorithm factors in data from nautical charts and SonarChart Live, like chart data, navigation aids and water depth, to display the suggested route. Dock-to-dock Autorouting requires a Navionics card with an active chart updates subscription.
· With Navionics Plotter Sync, anglers can easily download the latest Navionics chart data and transfer waypoints and routes between the Navionics app and a Navionics card via the wireless connectivity of NSS evo2 and GO XSE displays. Additionally, waypoints and routes can be imported from the Navionics card to the waypoints/routes/trails database of NSS evo2, NSO evo2 and GO XSE displays. Plotter Sync requires a subscription to the Navionics app and a Navionics mapping card with an active daily updates subscription.
· New software enhancements to NSS evo2, NSO evo2 and GO XSE displays enable them to work directly with all third-party audio equipment that conforms to the NMEA 2000® Marine Entertainment/Audio Protocol, including select equipment from audio partners, JL Audio®, Infinity® and Polk® — with more to come.
"We have always been committed to bringing the latest software enhancements to our current customers," said Leif Ottosson, Navico CEO and President. "We are confident NSS, NSO and GO XSE users will be excited about the new functionality and feature enhancements included in this software update."
For more information on the NSS evo2, NSO evo2, GO XSE or other products from Simrad Yachting marine electronics visit www.simrad-yachting.com.

It's Right In Front of You
My wife will tell you that I most often miss what's right in front of me. Sure, I can find something hidden in the pantry or buried in the refrigerator. But when I call out, "Honey, do we have any milk?" it's a near-certainty that it is sitting smack in front of my face.
Don't laugh. Some of you have done that, too.
There's a reason the saying, "The grass isn't always greener on the other side," endures through the years.
Because it's so often true. We can miss what's right in front of us.
"Your big opportunity may be right where you are." –Napoleon Hill
We abandon today's happiness as we dream about what it would be like somewhere else.
We think that owning a business tomorrow is better than working on the job today.
We imagine that the job will be better than school.
We tell ourselves that it will be calm and peaceful in our homes once the children grow up.
And, at times, we are right.
But how often do we give up today's happiness unnecessarily? What if the opportunity we dreamed of wasn't there, but was here?
"Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later." -Og Mandino
The Joy of Today
Most of you know I'm all about dreaming, about setting big goals, and about achieving them. At the same time, we need to experience the joy of today, the happiness of right now, the magic of the moment.

If 'American fine dining' sounds like an oxymoron, consider a perfectly grilled USDA steak, paired with an exquisite full-bodied red wine and served in a finely appointed restaurant and you have a very strong contender. And that's what we were expecting on our visit Morton's of Chicago, one of the best-known American steakhouses in Hong Kong.
Morton's, now in its 19th year in Hong Kong, is located at the Sheraton Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui. Known for its quality food, attentive service and refined ambience, Morton's has long been a favourite for discerning connoisseurs of fine steaks. The restaurant's renovated décor is contemporary, with subdued lighting. Its expansive windows offer a splendid view of the harbour. The spacious restaurant, which can seat over almost 180 people between its main dining room, private room and the bar, serves dinner only. An impressive and well-stocked wine display and an open kitchen complete the setting.
Morton's offers all the menu components one would expect from a fine steakhouse – a wide selection of cuts of beef plus the familiar starters and a few seasonal selections. In the end, though, a steakhouse is judged by the quality of its steaks, and that seems to be Morton's philosophy, as they put an inordinate amount of care into selecting the right beef and preparing it properly.
Our dinner started with Morton's signature Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail ($280) and Burrata, Grilled Asparagus & Baby Heirloom Tomato Salad ($228), accompanied by its house special Onion Bread loaf. The shrimp cocktail was excellent: chilled, large succulent shrimp accented by the zesty cocktail sauce. The salad was light and refreshing, the light Burrata cheese blending in nicely with the organic tomatoes and asparagus.
For entrees, we shared three knockout dishes: American Wagyu Filet Mignon with Fire Roasted Pablano Butter 7 oz ($688), USDA Centre-Cut Prime Ribeye Steak 16 oz ($728), and Jumbo Lump Crab Cake ($410, 2 pieces). Interestingly, the Wagyu beef is a Wagyu-Angus cross, and the filet mignon captures the best of both beef types – a rich marbled texture with the strong flavour associated with Angus, making it both tender and flavourful.
The ribeye is more traditional, a nice, thick cut of prime beef expertly grilled medium rare. The meat is tender and juicy, just the way we prefer. The crab cake, to our delight, packs healthy portions of crab meat into each piece, giving plenty to savour. Two side dishes: Creamed Spinach ($120) and Nueske's Bacon Steak with Peach Bourbon Glaze ($138) came with the entrees. The Bacon Steak is a real winner – a thick-cut 12 oz of apple-smoked pork belly glazed with peach-Bourbon. It tastes tender and savoury, almost a meal in itself and perfect for sharing.
We wrapped up our dinner with Morton's Legendary Hot Chocolate Cake ($170) and Crème Brûlée ($130). The generous portions were shared, of course, a fitting end to a sumptuous meal.
Our visit to Morton's was a most enjoyable dining experience – great steaks in a lively and comfortable setting, and perfect for a business meal or special occasion. Book early.

Considering the "light and momentary afflictions" which are multiplying in my life, I thought I would revisit and edit my statement:
"All I know is that it is so much easier to play the part of the Christian when I'm in a climate controlled room with proper lighting and familiar food and no disasters looming outside my door. But is that real? "
That's what I said then. I have no idea what was the context. Today I can add:
"…and when I'm not dashing to the bathroom every few moments in intestinal agony. I can add, "…when my children are not suffering emotional trauma."
A lot of situations would seemingly make it easier to be a Christian.
It's the last line that keeps sticking in my head: "But is that real?" Let me just add that "Real sometimes hurts!" As I was suffering the violent effects of E. coli last week, I honestly had to ask myself how I would possibly endure torture. I always prided myself on the small sacrifices I have made "for the sake of the kingdom." But when the house is hot and stuffy and my stomach is achy and rumbly, somehow I step out of my Christian character role and become unlovely from the inside out. My husband and kids will testify that this sometimes witty writer becomes snarky and impatient.
There's a sane side of me that says I NEVER want to go through a sickness like that again, but then there is an irrational part that cries, "I'm so sorry. Try me again. I promise I won't let you down. I can do better. Really I can!"
Really? I'm not so sure.
How can the folks back home ever think we are heroic or super-spiritual? We all know that when the heat's on (literally and figuratively) and the battle rages, we still fall short of God's perfect design. We still succumb to fleshly nature. I don't know about yours, but mine prefers comfort to pain any day.
I am in a season of testing unlike anything I remember since my very first season on the field. It was intense back then. It is intense again now. As much as I'd prefer to be lighthearted and funny, this is where I am. Frankly I feel more like a wimp than a warrior. Others are sustaining me through their faithful prayers and encouragement. I am grateful.
Personally I'd rather be your comic relief for the week than to fight in the trenches with you. Apparently that isn't an option. Meanwhile I just want to learn my lessons well. My heart goes out to those of you who serve under equally daunting circumstances, especially those with chronic health issues. Pain does reveal the true nature of the heart. Mine apparently needs some more work.

Before Your Morning Coffee
Posted: Friday, July 7
One Year Bible Reading Guide
1 Chronicles 4:5-5:17
Acts 25:1-27
Psalm 5:1-12
Proverbs 18:19
Verse of the day:
"Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly." (Psalm 5:3)
Meditation on the Word of God and prayer are necessities for a healthy Christian life. They are also a good practice at any time of the day or night. Of course your own personal schedule, based on time and responsibilities, may determine when.
All things being equal, however, I feel the best time of all is in the early morning—just my own thoughts based on a couple of things/patterns I have noted in the Bible, (including our passage for this devotion). I think a believer who wakes up each morning to the voice of the God through His Word will, in turn, be ready to speak words of blessing to others throughout the day. And as we tune into His voice each morning through prayer, God will hear and direct our steps for that day, (better than a cup of coffee, and I like coffee!).
This example was set by Jesus Himself: "And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed". If even Jesus Christ needed such a quiet time early in the morning set aside to fellowship with His Father, we would do well to follow His example—if possible.
Note the prayer of David: "Cause me to hear thy loving kindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee". We urgently need to know the way we should walk each day. Without daily guidance from God, it is so easy to step off of the path He has designed for us and into our own ways. So, I feel the obvious time to pray for guidance is at the very beginning of every day—let's get a head-start on what lies out in front of us so we don't have to play catch-up!

Believe it or not, The Ku Klux Klan didn't start off as a bad thing. It was a simple Christian organization. I know… hard to grasp, right? Ever heard of The Crips? Bloods? They didn't start out as criminal organization. They were actually a place for young people without family or homes to go for safehaven. Child support. Unemployment benefits. HipHop. LoL. These all started out as good organizations, good concepts with good intentions! How did they get so messed up, you ask?
People! People, unfortunately mess everything up. It's not REALLY the consumerism. Or, the big bad investors or marketers and advertisements… it's us! Ads don't bother me. People do!
Imagine if there were no terrorists in the world. [And this goes all the way from funded and organized terrorists right down to Congressmen in our own government and monsters like Devin Patrick Kelley (the asshole who shot up the church in Texas last year).] Would the government even try to hire/use social media to spy on us?
But seriously. This issue is unique. Not in how it started though. If we go by the story, and the movie, Mark Zuckerberg started facebook, NOT to get friends, necessarily, but because he could, he was bored and lacked a real social life to speak of. Not totally unlike many of us. But it went on to be something that helped bring people [who signed up willingly] to connect and be connected!
Let's keep in mind, that no one told you you had to sign up for Facebook! There are plenty of people on earth, like my Dad who have internet, computers, cell phones and… whatever else one needs to join a social media site… he just doesnt. My father owns a house phone. A landline phone. With a chord. I mean… it's not a rotary dial but, yea. He has a phone. that only rings at his house. Remember those? He uses this phone, to talk to people. My father is 77 years old. So he doesn't get around that often. But he still talks to… like has real conversations with people who either have or make the time to speak to him.
When was the last time you had an actual conversation with someone? Like, using your mouth? For longer than 10 minutes?
So, before I get too deep into all the reasons there are to leave Facebook… let me delve into the reasons why it will be hard for ME to leave Facebook.
-At the moment, it's how I communicate with my oldest son and daughter mostly [Instagram, same thing]
– At the moment, it's how I mainly communicate with my girlfriend
-At the moment, it's the best way I have to share my literary events
-When I log onto new things… I always use LOG ON WITH FACEBOOK instead of creating user I.D.s and all that B.S. It's just easier!
-I SEND AND RECEIVE MONEY ON FACEBOOK MESSENGER! FOR FREE! NO MATTER WHERE I AM! My ex best friend helped my buy an Infiniti QX56 using that shit! While I was overseas! It's miraculous!
-Groups… most, are annoying, but the ones I am a part of help Filipinos and other foreign workers connect and support one another if they find themselves in a bad situation.
-I get to spy on people.
Sidenote: I think it's quite hypocritical that ALL OF US spy on people secretly on Facebook but get mad when the government does it, or FB uses our info to sell us shit.
Let's get this straight. Spying on people to get a sense of what to market to certain individuals was genius! Social Media Marketing, using "harvesting" to sell us things we may be interested in.
Ever notice how when you look up something online on any of your devices, and the next thing you know while you're scrolling through Instagram, or Facebook or Tinder etc. that an advertisement for that very thing you were looking for pops up?
I'll give you one better… a few weeks ago I was speaking outloud in my car about buying some wheels and that very night… you guessed it, an ad for an online wheel store popped up. Yea… they're not only harvesting our online searches, and online purchases, but they're frikking listening to us too! Aint that some shit?
So… yea, that's pretty jacked up.
On top of that, there's the drama. I mean… don't we get enough of that in our homes, with our kids, and our friends, coworkers and people who go to church… come on! Drama overload! Do we really need to be online where people will argue about whether the sky is blue or not? People getting mad at you because you post pictures of your food? People getting mad at you because you LOVED someone elses status but only LIKED yours?
And the word around the world about how people who spend too much time on sociall media don't have lives. On one hand… I'm sure it's true. I see it all the time. But… I'm on social media quite a bit. And I'm pretty certain I've been doing a lot more living than most. I've been to five countries this year already, going to leave the coutnry again next month, took my kids to Vegas, visited Kansas (don't ask me why), hang out with my parents, and a hundred other things I won't mention because the point is… one doesn't mean you're devoid of the other. In my case… but in most cases, it does lol. I see someone every day spend more time on facebook than she does looking her children in the eye. I'm not exempt. When I'm with my kids, I literally have to tell myself (and them) to get their noses out of their phones and spend some actual time with the people who matter the most. THEY'RE RIGHT THERE IN THE ROOM/CAR/HOTEL/HOUSE with you!
It's addictive. When you go to the store, or a restaurant or have a second of idle time at work, what do you do? You grab your phone out of your pocket and start scrolling. Whether it rang or not. You may not have received a notification in 5 hours! But you still go and check it. Why?
Has being social on our phones replaced being social in the flesh? Couples go out to eat, sit across from one another and instead of looking at the other, they're both looking at phones. I don't understand it.
So, before I get off topic like I so often do, I know Facebook isn't the only culprit. However, they've taken the title as the social media -and pretty much everything else online- power house, they have to take the bulk of responsibility for this. The rest of it lies on us.
As I stated before. No one has forced us to join facebook. Take my father, he's decided not to. That's one side of the spectrum. The other side is, well… what I've been yammering about this entire blog. But how about some moderation? A happy medium so-to-speak?
Hear me out.
I'm going to get a bit technical if you don't mind. There are browsers and there are Applications (apps). When you go to a computer [you know, this really BIG things that do all the stuff phones do?] type into that long box at the top of The Internet window, that is a browser. You, the reader, can log on to Facebook there. From work. School. A library. Unemployment office, wherever. And I'm hard pressed to say that, THAT action would allow for facebook to gather your contact list, what you had for breakfast (unless you posted it) or what you plan to buy. That's if you're not logged on to google when you do so. (I'll talk about Google in a second).
But the second you download that app… no matter what "permissions" you sign up for.. they've got you! That app is gathering everything it can from your hand-held device. It's IN YOUR PHONE! And anything else you're logged into. It's the apps! I'm going to get rid of mine.
And yes, I know… the apps make everything so convenient. But in this case, convenience is a two way straight. Just like the apps make a streamline connection between your device and the app… it gives whoever has the authoriztion, or the money streamline access to you.
So, those of you who don't want to give up whatever it is that social media does for you, give it a shot!
But can honestly say you can't live without it? Do you really NEED to be on Facebook? Instagram? Do you really need to be on snap chat… which, lets be honest, is for children, and grown-ups who haven't realized they're adults yet. Is it necessary to have it to keep in touch with people? Do we need it to keep up with people? I have to say… I've been on it for years, and some of my "friends" still act like they don't know I'm a blogger and an author! I mean… some REALLY don't even know! Assholes…
So, as an answer to all the outrage about Mark Zuckerberg, data Harvesting, and government blahblahblah, I pose a simple question.
Will YOU leave Facebook?
Scream at me.

#ICYMI: FOSTER THE PEOPLE TAKES OVER INSTAGRAM In Recent Video
Foster The People recently released the official video for their current single "Sit Next To Me" – check it out above. The vertical video simulates a real-life Instagram feed, scrolling through nearly 100 posts from Instagram influencers (Fuck Jerry, Overheard LA) and celebrities (Josh Hutcherson, Bella Thorne), and also includes special submissions from Foster the People fans all over the world. The video was directed by Fourclops and Brinton Bryan, and produced by PRETTYBIRD.
Says Fourclops: "It was fun to play with the premise of a music video that hijacks your social feed. Instagram is a major destination for consuming media these days, and it made for an exciting setting for our video. We asked ourselves, what would it look like if all of the accounts within Instagram become transformed by a song?"
The band recently released a remix bundle for "Sit Next To Me," which includes a special radio version of the track, an acoustic version and a unique reworked version. Check out all three tracks HERE. "Sit Next To Me," which is currently approaching Top 15 at Alternative radio, was described as "pure shimmering pop" by The Associated Press and is featured on Foster The People's latest album Sacred Hearts Club. The band also delivered a solid performance of the song on The Late Late Show with James Corden this summer.
Foster the People just wrapped up a massive tour across North America with a few remaining dates before the end of the year. Please visit FosterThePeople.com for tickets and a full list of upcoming shows.

Protecting the vine and its environment for a healthy and quality liqueur
It is currently the treatment period of the vines in the vineyards. Sweet Bordeaux met one of its certified organic producers. He uses ecological treatments for his vine. Gérald Massieu from Château Haut-Roc in Arbis explains.
When the month of May comes, the first concern of a Bordeaux winemaker is to fight against mildew to ensure the harvest of the grapes. At Gérald Massieu's, owner of Château Haut-Roc in Arbis certified organic since 2010, it is at this crucial period that the vintage of the year is played. He must then avoid diseases and decay, without the use of chemicals that pollute the environment and inevitably become embedded in the fruit. "Depending on the weather, the years are more or less difficult to manage", says Gérald Massieu. According to him, observation, vigilance, responsiveness, involvement are the secrets of success of organic viticulture. "Those qualities are essential and that's what's great by the way, being able to counter the unexpected. When we manage to restore a balance with nature, the vine suffers in fact far fewer parasite attacks", says the winemaker.
But as an heir of a family of conventional winemakers, training was necessary for him to fully understand his environment. From 2007, when the young man now 35 years old, launched the organic certification process, he then approached the CIVAM, an organization that promotes sustainable agriculture. Fusion with nature is indeed an art that cannot be taken lightly. That goes with the aim of always obtaining the best possible wine. To achieve the production of liqorous wines which draw their flavors from the terroir they originate from. "I am convinced that organic wines are more rooted in their terroir, because the roots reach the deepest minerals in the earth", highlights the winemaker. Both of Gérald Massieu's liqorous wines, in the Cadillac appellation, are the result of a combination of Semillon, Muscadelle and Sauvignon Blanc and Gris, they draw towards candied lemon, it's obvious. It is the terroir expresses itself. Accompanied by a goat's cheese toast, honey and thyme or some chicken wings as an appetizer and it is happiness.
The recipe: an aerated trim, some Bordeaux mush and lots of love…
The vines from which the Sweet Bordeaux made at Château Haut-Roc are 65 years old. Their resistance is optimal and the quality of the grapes is there. But still to avoid early botrytis, Gerald Massieu only has one mean: the trimming, to remove the moisture. "As we do not use anti botrytis products, we fight against mold by controlling the strength of the vine's foot, airing the grape clusters to prevent fungus from forming", says the winemaker. However, to fight against mildew, the famous Bordeaux mush intervenes. It is obtained by mixing copper and lime, allowed in organic viticulture. "The doses of copper are tiny, we treat before the rains", says Gérald Massieu. Add to it the love of winemaker for his vines. And that is all the treatment the small vineyard of 6 hectares that forms the Château Haut-Roc receives. With this effective recipe, Gérald Massieu has never lost a harvest since he was certified as organic. He will soon launch himself as an organic viticulture consultant. "I do this for the protection of the environment, so a maximum of vineyards can convert to organic", he insists as if to spread the word.
