Looking for somewhere to escape the cold weather of winter? Look no further than Hawaii and the island of Maui. It's our favourite island for many reasons: it has reliably warm and sunny climate, great cycling, and plenty of other non-biking water sport activities to fill your days including surfing, stand-up paddle-boarding, and outrigger canoeing. You will see whales, loggerhead turtles, birdlife and more. We've designed this itinerary to have you stay in Kihei, on the Napili Coast in West Maui, and Pa'ai to give you access to the best riding (without requiring shuttles) and to allow you to experience the variety of this island.
Getting there :
The principal airport on Maui is in Kahaluli. We will meet at the first hotel between 4:00-6:00 pm so you will want to plan your flight accordingly.
Kihei - Your hotel is included on this day and you check-in anytime after 2:00 pm. Settle in, then hit the beach, swim and relax. Between December and February, look for whales which can be often seen from shore. We will dine at a local restaurant that serves superb fish tacos in a casual setting.
Kihei - Optional early morning yoga class. Meet your bike. For the first day of cycling, we will ride from Kihei through upscale Wailea to Makena Beach to the Lava Flow and La Perouse Bay (Nature Area Reserve) and back. Afterwards, you will have time for surfing, ocean kayaking (sit on top style) or stand-up paddle-boarding, where you will have a good chance to see loggerhead turtles.
Distance: 23 km, elevation gain 173 m.*
Napili Beach - Start the day with yoga or a jog along a trail east of Wakapu Beach. Cycle south through Kihei reaching Lahaina for lunch. Stop and admire the banyon tree planted in 1873 whose branches extend over 200 feet from side to side. Lahaina is the oldest village on Maui and is filled with shops and galleries. Continue through Kanapali, and Hononowai to Napili Beach, stopping along the way where you please; there are pristine beaches all along this coast.
Distance: 58 km, elevation gain 270 m.*
Pa'ai - Your circumnavigation of West Maui will continue, following the coastal road past Kapanou Point and Kahului Bay, past Spreckelsville Beach, where windsurfers and kitesurfers entertain. Arrive to Pa'ia, the hippest village on Maui, filled with surfers (Laird Hamilton and Francisco Goya live here, among others). You may also bump into pro cyclist Ryder Hesjedal who lives and trains here off-season. Paia is filled with great restaurants (Flatbread and Cafes des Amis are two of our favourites), coffee shops (Anthony's is our 'go to' for java), yoga studios and surf stores and unique shops. There are no chain stores allowed here (yeah)!
Distance: 57 km, elevation gain 977 m.*
Pa'ai- The road to Hana is an epic ride, and the scenery is spectacular the entire way. You'll pass Hookipa, and Jaws, world-class surf beaches; turn around at Keanae (half-way) or descend all the way to Hana. Should you wish to return by helicopter (add cost-$200pp) this would make for a spectacular return trip!
Distance: 71 km, elevation gain 1374m or 123 km, gain 2503m.*
Pa'ai - Enjoy a ride up to the upcountry village of Makawao, where historic buildings, now filled with hip galleries and eclectic shops make for an ideal lunch stop and visit. Those wanting a real challenge can continue up to Haleakala Crater; it's 10,000 ft and 38 mi from Paia to the top- it takes even strong riders several hours! An alternate ride is to take a shuttle up to Kula (we arrange) and cycle from there along the Kula Highway as far as Nu'u Bay along a beautifully paved road with very little traffic. Back at your hotel, you may decide on a massage to reward your legs or swim at Baldwin Beach, reached easily on dedicated bike path from Paia.
Distance: 52 km, elevation gain 2660m or 115 km, gain 3069m.*
Depart - Enjoy a morning yoga session and then depart at your leisure.
*Distance and elevation gains may vary depending on hotels chosen for specific departure.

Tangy balsamic vinegar, sweet beetroot and creamy goat's cheese combine beautifully in this easy vegetarian salad that's sure to impress, containing four of your five-a-day
Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and put the beetroot in a roasting tin with 1 tbsp oil, 1 tbsp vinegar and plenty of seasoning. Roast for 8-10 mins until sticky. Meanwhile, bring a pan of salted water to the boil, add the green beans, cook for 1 min, then drain. Toss in with the beetroot and roast for a further 5 mins.
Meanwhile, make the dressing by combining the remaining oil and vinegar in a small bowl, and season well. Put the mixed leaves and cucumber in a bowl and toss together with a little dressing.
Dip both cheese halves in the chopped walnuts so the tops are covered, then pop in the roasting tin with the beetroot and green beans for a few mins, to soften and toast the nuts.
Pile the salad onto plates and serve with the remaining dressing drizzled over the top.

ICT competence-based learning object recommendations for teachers
Access Status
MetadataShow full item record
© 2014 IADIS. Recommender Systems (RS) have been applied in the Technology enhanced Learning (TeL) field for facilitating, among others, Learning Object (LO) selection and retrieval. Most of the existing approaches, however, aim at accommodating the needs of learners and teacher-oriented RS are still an under-investigated field. Moreover, the systems that focus on teachers, do not explicitly exploit their ICT competence profiles when providing LO recommendations. This is a significant drawback, since it can result in LO recommendations that are beyond the teachers' competence to use. Towards tackling this issue, this paper extends previous work and proposes a teacher ICT Competence-based RS that considers teachers' ICT Competence Profiles when recommending Learning Objects. Moreover, the results of its accuracy evaluation are presented. The results indicate that the proposed approach provides high predictive accuracy and outperforms commonly used, existing RS approaches.

So I'm piecing a new quilt before I've quilted the existing tops....what a surprise. I tried the new thread and it quilted up really nicely - I'm binding that quilt now and I'll show a photo when it's done. I have ordered a heap more of the thread (Rasant - cotton with a poly core - it seems to be very readily available) and I really really really hope it solves the problems for once and for all. I will let you know.
The new quilt is based on something I saw on the internet - god knows where - I tend to draw up designs that I like because it lets me figure out how to make them and do measurements at the same time. So I can show you the drawing but the inspiration is lost in the mists of the world wide web. I might set the blocks on point - the ones I'm making finish at about 7.5" so it's not going to be a big quilt.
This is my colour palette - greyish and coralish. I will put in some more scraps but these will form the basis, I think.
My new job is going well so far. I worked my first Wednesday today since 2009! And it's no hardship to work, my Wednesdays were normally spent running errands and doing chores rather than actually having fun ... but it is possible that domestic tasks will start to unravel a bit after a few weeks. We will see. And my new colleagues are all very nice, which is a relief, although I have SO MUCH to learn.

The important of mortgage insurance
Lately, one of my clients, James, involved in road accident and passed away. It was a shock to me. It is because the day before he just called me up and informed that he wish to rent out his apartment.
Few days later, I went to his funeral ceremony. During the conversation with his wife, I noticed that James didn't purchase mortgage insurance for any of his property. His wife was required to pay the mortgage repayment on behalf of James. However, his wife was a household and didn't have any source of income. And yet, there were not one but three properties with similar situation. In other words, she needed to pay the mortgage repayment for all three properties. Now, these properties become her financial burden.
Well, I realised that many home buyers especially first time home buyers didn't realise the important of mortgage insurance.
So, what is mortgage insurance?
Mortgage insurance is a type of insurance policy that allows the home owner to cover his loan tenure in the event of death or TPD (Total Permanent Disability).
Generally, if you need a loan in order to buy a house, you approach a bank but while running you through their due process, they will offer you mortgage insurance and encourage you to buy it. There are two types of mortgage insurance that you can find in market – either Mortgage Reducing Term Assurance (MRTA) or Mortgage Level Term Assurance (MLTA).
To find more details on MRTA and MLTA, click here.
Mortgage insurance's minimum tenure is five years but it is your prerogative on how many years you want to buy. It is not compulsory for you to commit any mortgage insurance when you are obtaining your mortgage. Since then, it is not surprise that some people choose not to purchase it in order to reduce their homeownership cost.
The consequences of not buying mortgage insurance could be a night mare to some people.
The objective of mortgage insurance is providing security to your loved ones from being burdened by home loan repayments if you pass away or are afflicted by permanent disability. As if James was purchased any mortgage insurance previously, his family will not suffer from paying monthly mortgage repayment.
However, if you do not have anyone to leave your property to and money is tight, getting a mortgage life insurance may not be your highest priority.
For those with dependent however, it's worth considering. Especially, if you are planning to service your mortgage for the next 30 years, and you are joint name with someone else, it will be best if you are protected. The key is having a mortgage insurance will provide you the peace of mind that you will not lose your property even if the other person is unable to pay for the mortgage.
Lastly, mortgage insurance definitely will increase your home ownership cost but you may choose to finance it into your housing loan. Although this will increase your mortgage repayment as you will pay more interest to the bank, it still encourage buying it as it protects your home.

- Sold Date:
- Source: eBay
Up for your consideration is a Ducks Unlimited, Lac La Croix Collection print titled "Courting Ruddy Duck" which features a Drake in nuptial plumage. The print was done by artist Joe Thornbrugh and it is signed and is serial number 3279. The twist on this print is that these were auctioned off at Ducks Unlimited events along with a hand carved decoy and they had matching serial numbers. Somewhere along the line the print got seperated from the decoy so out there is a decoy with serial number 3279 that needs this print to go with it! The back of the print has this information in print on a DU shhet of paper as you can see in the last two scans. This measures 16 1/2" x 13 1/2", the wood frame has some wear which could be touched up but overall this is in great shape. Thanks for looking!

Name Pronounced: Vah-Loch
Appearance: V'lok stands at a height of 5'11" and he has a muscular build. He has mahogany brown hair that seems to stick out in various directions. He keeps it shaved just below his ears. His eyes are a light hazel brown in color, though at a distance they might seem almost amber. His eyes seem to have a certain sadness to them, giving them an almost lost puppy dog look. Above each eye is a single slightly arched mahogany brown eyebrow, which gives his appearance a little character. His nose is of medium size and is slightly rounded at the end and his nostrils are a bit thin. His lips are thin and are rather pale in color, though not overly so. His arms are slightly musclar and there is a long threadscore scar on his right arms that runs from the shoulder down to the elbow. The scar is faded meaning that it's an old injury, but it also looks like the score was a rather minor one. His hands are rough and calloused from all the work he did before he impressed, as well as during the time he was a candidate. He has a well muscled but compact chest that seems perfectly formed, with a light threadscore scar that is very faded. He has a smooth washboard stomach which is typical of most men and thankfully it seems to be one of the few places on his body that seems to be free of scars. His legs are a little longer than medium length and are on the lanky side, which should allow him a fair amount of running speed should he ever need it. Overall he's a fairly hadsome rider, but not overly so.
Personality: V'lok is a rider with a good sense of humor, a good contrast to Arokth's more serious personality. The recent loss of his weyrmate however has overshadowed that humor, and now it seems that he rarely laughs. Yet there is still a hint of his old self that comes through every now and again. A lot of people tend to withdraw and isolate themselves when they lose someone but V'lok is a people person. He's out and about meeting riders and other new people in an effort to distract himself. Besides, Arolos is his new home and he might as well get to know the people who live there. He's a gambling man, willing to take chances even if it is risky. He has a lot of confidence about him, a change that was brought on when he impressed Arokth. He's always been the type that has a few close friends and a lot of acquaintances. He's a good confidant, willing to listen to the problems of others and help out if he thinks there's something he can do. His friendly demeanor and charming attitude are just a part of who he is, he seems to have a natural talent when it comes to dealing with people. His patience is unwavering and very rarely does he lose he temper. If someone does manage to get him angry...well let's just say be glad looks don't kill because his glare seems like it could.
History: Valok was born in Igen Hold, the third son of Journeyman Smithcrafter Tavralk and Journeyman Healer Aernyia. His brother Shindon was two turns older than him and his oldest brother Vralkov was six turns older. As the youngest child he was doted on by his parents, which lead to a lot of sibling rivalry with his two brothers. It didn't really help that in his parent's eyes he could do no wrong. So when he got into mischief it was his brothers that usually ended up taking the blame. They were given the lecture of how they were supposed to set a good example for their youngest brother. It wasn't until he was eight turns old and played a prank on the son of the Lord Holder that his parents finally figured out what he was actually like. They realized their error and tried to correct their mistake by keeping Valok busy with errands and chores around the cothold so that he couldn't cause trouble. In his childish mind he thought his parents were being cruel since he was used to getting his way, so he tried to run away. He tried to leave by following a trading caravan, but it didn't work out too well. His uncle was with the trading caravan and noticed that he was following behind. His uncle quickly turned back and picked up Valok by the back of his shirt before marching him home since the treading caravan hadn't gotten very far. He was punished by being sent to his room and he was not allowed to come out for two sevendays. He was given a few breadrolls and redfruit juice for supper and that was about it. Needless to say he didn't try running away again. Slowly he learned to respect others and not to cause trouble, though he still got into mischief on occasion. His parents noticed the change and his father rewarded him on his turnday with belt knife he had made especially for his son. It seemed plain at first except the hilt was a polished bronze engraved with the figure of a firelizard on it. From them on, he was never seen without it.
Information about V'lok's dragon
Dragon Name: Arokth
Colour: Brown
Age: 12
Wing (Weyrling Group): CloudDancers
Appearance: Arokth is a truly massive brown that is a total of 35 feet in length and is far more robust than some bronzes tend to be. Rich shades of agate brown flow across the broad expanse of his large muzzle before ending at the base. His muzzle is of medium length but rather wide and it is blunted at the tip, giving his muzzle a rather blocky look. Near the very tip of his muzzle are two slitted nostrils, which allow him to pick up on a variety of scents.His agate brown eyeridges are large but smooth and gently curving, giving his large head a slightly more steamline appearance. Shadowed underneath his agate brown eyeridges are two bright whirling eyes that change colors depending on his mood. His eyes are large and the faceting is close together and his eyes are vaguely almond shaped. Just below the back corner of his left eye, a silvery-white threadscore scare trails down at a jagged angle to end half-way down his cheek. Near the back of his head are two stubby headknobs, the one on the right is a light mocha brown in color and the other on the left is a dark agate brown. His neck is thick and stocky, corded with powerful muscles. His muscular neck is a glossy agate brown in color with a few mocha brown stripes that run from the top of his neck down to the base. Near the front of his neck are a few light speckles of mocha brown that seem to fade into the agate brown background rather nicely. Running down the back of his neck are several large neckridges that are rather triangular in shape and are very pronounced. His large neckridges are the darkest tint of agate brown possible and on both sides of each neckridge is a series of thin mocha brown lines that loop around to form strange look symbols or splotches, each one being unique. His shoulders are robust and heavily muscled, though they have a good rounded look to them. His shoulders are a glossy agate brown, untouched by a single other shade of color. His front legs are stocky and powerful and are completely agate brown in color, marred only by a single silvery-white threadscore scar above his right foot. Upon both his front feet are a deadly set of razor sharp claws, each a glossy agate brown in color with a curved edge. His slightly rounded belly is a light mocha brown in coloration that conrasts greatly with the dark agate brown on his sides. The base of his wings is corder with thick muscle, which is needed to allow him to beat his large wings. His wings are truly impressive with a truly broad wingspan and an interesting pattern across the top of his wings. The tops of his wings have a solid agate brown background, with vibrant stripes of mocha brown that loop and curve into one another to form almost symbol-like patterns. The trailing edges of his wings are solid mocha brown in color, looking rather like they had been dipped in a bowl of mocha. The bottoms of his wings are a very dark brown, matching almost perfectly with the color of steeped klah. His hind legs are more heavily muscled than the front and are colored by dark hues of agate brown. However, his left hind leg has a seven inch long silvery-white scar across it, obviously caused by a horrible threadscore. His hind feet are a pale mocha brown in color, each sporting a large set of agate brown claws that are slightly curved. Last but not least is his large tail that is thick at the base but gradually thins out until it comes to a stop at half the length of his body. His tail is a dark agate brown in color with a light mocha brown tracing the edges of his tail spade.
Personality: Arokth may have an intimidating appearance but he really is very kind. While on sweepduty if he notices a wagon has tipped over he'll happily set it upright again, or if someone's runner has escaped he'll help herd it back to the pen. He's a helpful dragon but he doesn't help others unless it seems they need it. He judges a situation very carefully first before taking any action. He is a deep thinker and will take the time to look at both sides of a situation, something even humans won't do too often. Most people tend to think of only how they feel about something and not how another would observe it. He's very calm and sturdy and can think clearly even in emergency situations. His nickname is Aro for short, but he will not let anyone but his rider and those closest to him use it. Arokth will on occasion associate with those other than his rider, though usually they are candidates or children. He does his best to assure candidates that they will impress if they have the patience to wait long enough and he likes to encourage children to work with whatever talents they may have just discovered. He is a solid voice of reasoning for both his rider and others who are willing to listen. His memory is good for a brown but it's the more important events that he tends to remember best. He does enjoy showing off his strength once in a while, moving a boulder to a more convenient place or moving a dead fallen tree off a trail in the jungle. He is a voracious eater and could easily eat twice his weight in herdbeasts if his rider would let him. He is careful not the scatter the herd too much and usually just swoops down and plucks up a herdbeast before taking it some distance away to eat it. Arokth will chase greens every once in a while and he's large enough that he will chase a gold on occasion. His endurance can easily see him through a flight and some greens will fancy him for his raw strength. Green flights he finds something of a challenge since he isn't very agile, so he has to make up for that with shows of strength and intelligence. Arokth just can't seem to resist a challenge, whether it be a friendly competition or a dare. Thankfully his rider makes sure he doesn't take up on too many dares, or he could get himself into some real trouble. His bond with his rider is a strong one and they each draw upon each other's strength in tough times.
Weyr of Origin: Igen
Abilites and weaknesses: When it comes to fighting thread this large brown has what it takes to get the job done. His flame is of medium length and burns very intense, allowing him to clear large clumps of thread with little effort. His large size will ensure that he has enough endurance to last through a full fall. However, as strong as he is he does have a weakness. He can't turn very fast and a fat herdbeast has more agility than he does. He is dependent to a certain extent on the blue and greens catching the strands that he can't turn in time to avoid. If a blue or green can't get to the strands fast enough he'll go /between/ to avoid being scored.

NEW YORK (AP) - Tracy Morgan is struggling more than two months after he was injured in a motor vehicle crash following a performance at Dover Downs Casino back on June 7.
His attorney, Benedict Morelli, says the former "Saturday Night Live" cast member is fighting hard.
Morgan suffered a broken leg and broken ribs when the limousine van he was riding in was hit from behind by a Wal-Mart truck on the New Jersey Turnpike.
The wreck killed 62-year-old comedian James McNair and injured two others.
Morelli has filed suit against Wal-Mart, claiming the retailer should have known the truck driver had driven 700 miles from his home in Georgia to work in Delaware.
The truck driver has pleaded not guilty to death by auto and assault by auto charges.

It's been just over a month since the Google Fred update was rolled out and we can start to see the fallout for porn sites, the winners and losers affected by this update.
The update started to roll out around March 7th and it is believed that it was a number of updates rolled out at the same time. Google has cited that the update is a core quality signals update and I also believe google panda was updated as part of this multi-update. Sites previously hit by panda could see some recovery and likewise new sites could be caught by the furry fiend. The update focuses on sites that are advert heavy and sites that do not offer any unique content.
Generally the of type sites I have seen affected most during this update have been the tube aggregators as many of these networks have suffered huge organic traffic loss. These sites offer very little in terms of unique content as they are scraped or syndicated content feeds. There are many of these sites still performing well so finding the sweet spot between great UX and duplicated content is essential for those running these sites.
The movement in the SERPs from March 7th can be seen here in these images from Algoroo and Accuranker, both showing massive fluctuations for at least five days while the google Fred update rolled out.
Algoroo Movement for Fred Update
Accuranker Movement for Fred Update
Having established that there were updates rolled out at this time let's take a look at a selection of the winners and losers affected by this update. The below data gives some insight into possible causes and resolutions for this update. Using SEMRush we can see the organic traffic reach of sites which gives some representation of their rankings and traffic levels.
Beeg has seen good growth since the update and has increased metrics from both SEMRush and Alexa showing a steady increase in organic search traffic.
PornDig.com has seen a real benefit from this update and with Google citing quality – and possibly adverts – as part of this update it is clear to see why PornDig, a high quality site which has minimal advertising, has seen growth.
Having recently gone through a total site redesign and re-brand, GotPorn.com has been rewarded with a boost in search traffic from the Google Fred update. This is still a very low percentage of the site's total traffic but can be considered good growth.
Solid Growth for FlyFlv.com on the run up to the update with continued growth over the update period.
Pornharmony.com and the other sites in the network have taken a huge hit during this update with some losing 50% of their organic search reach. Examples of other sites in the network hit are pornado.co, tubesafari.com.
The Pornolaba.com network has taken a heavy hit from this update, losing a huge amount of organic reach – as much as 75% loss.
Since January there has been a decline for AnyBunny.com and its network of other sites but a definite jump in organic traffic loss from the March update, taking total traffic loss to more than 50%.
ThePornDude.com is one of the sites I have seen hit most hard by this update having lost a huge amount of organic reach and Alexa is showing a huge loss in organic traffic from search engines.
Taking a look at the comparisons between the winners and losers can give some further insight into what might be positive and negative signals for sites to have. Correlation does not mean causation so the data only offers some guidance as to what signals might be at play here.
Winners' common attributes:
- Unique design and UX
- Limited advertising
- Useful secondary content and related media
- No autogenerated text/URLs of low quality
Losers' common attributes:
- Lacking original content – mostly scraped/embedded
- Large amount of auto generated URLs
- Text added looks like spam
- Unrelated/unhelpful secondary content
Key Takeaways
Looking at the data above and having analysed the sites I can see that sites hit are not primarily full of original content and often just link to origin videos or use scrapped embed and video details. When Google works on these quality updates they often work on rewarding the original content owners. This is why sites that scrape/publish duplicated content from origin sites often have a limited life span and get hit hard during these updates.
Creating unique titles/descriptions/content has never been more important for adult websites and it is often the case that having fewer unique videos will be much more rewarding than masses of duplicated content.
Advertising seems to be playing more of a role on adult sites with sites that are top heavy on adverts either being hit or staying at the level they currently are and growth going to sites that are more content focused. Less is now much more as having fewer adverts is now generally rewarded with more organic traffic. Porn sites have always been quite advert intensive so if you want to stand out from the crowd then this is a good place to start.
I can't show all examples of winners and losers so feel free to get in touch if there are any sites you would like explored.

DUNN --Democratic Congressman Bob Etheridge voted 'yes' on the health care bill. Etheridge's decision could though have far-reaching political implications come November. One of the candidates hoping to take over Congressman Bob Etheridge's seat lives in Dunn, NC. The candidate is a woman and a Republican, she tells Eyewitness news that after today voters could lash out against Democrat's in the Senate race this year.
After numerous protests in the Triangle, it all came down to a vote, the bill passed late Sunday.
Numerous groups had been trying to sway an undecided Congressman Bob Etheridge to vote their way on the bill.
"I will stand strong and do everything in my power to repeal it or to work against it and dismantle it as it is right now," said Congressional Candidate Renee Ellmers.
Renee Ellmers is just one republican challenging Etheridge in the November election, which is why she says She watched Sunday's vote closely.
"I am totally against this healthcare bill that's pending right now," Ellmers said. "I believe in free market solutions to the healthcare issue and there are so many that we could be using instead of this big massive government takeover."
Ellmers and her husband are familiar with health care, she's a nurse and her husband is a surgeon.
Ellmer says Sunday's vote will have great implications not just for Etheridge but for politicians across the country.
"Regardless of how this vote goes through, if it is actually enacted and President Obama signs it, I am, I feel very strongly that the American people come November, will rise up and vote these democrats out of office," Ellmer said.
Congressman Etheridge released a statement Sunday defending his decision.
"This vote is about getting past the campaign of misinformation and distortion and fear and doing right by the people of North Carolina," Etheridge said. "I've listened to the voices from all points of view, and I'm voting yes for this plan that will save lives and save money for our families, our businesses and our nation."

LONDON -- European equity markets are seeing their third consecutive day of gains today, making for the largest three-day rally since the beginning of the year. Weaker-than-expected U.S. factory orders data yesterday has dampened gains somewhat, and news from London that Barclays CEO Bob Diamond will resign is grabbing the headlines even in the continent this morning, as banking shares once again become a center of focus amid the LIBOR scandal.
European major financials are largely shrugging off concerns of further trouble, despite the U.K.'s Financial Services Authority saying in its annual public meeting today that many banks may be found to be involved in similar activities to Barclays. The potential for further -- and perhaps even worse -- revelations has been keeping the sector fairly volatile.
The German DAX
In European financials, it is Dutch firm Delta Lloyd (NASDAQOTH: DLLLY.PK) that is leading gains today, up more than 4.8% after it said the solvency of its IGD Group will increase at least 15 percentage points this year, while the solvency of its Delta Lloyd Levensverzekering business will increase at least 30 percentage points.
Elsewhere, carmaker Peugeot (NASDAQOTH: PEUGY.PK) is outperforming in Paris, up 3.5% after it announced it will be cutting 10,000 of its French workforce -- more than has previously been expected -- because of sliding sales. This comes as part of a wider cost-saving effort by the company, which announced just last week it will need to raise its 2012 savings target of 1 billion euros.
With some mixed trading in the commodity markets, oil and energy stocks are in turn seeing mixed trade across Europe today, although France's Total
Total is a 40% stakeholder in the project, with State Oil, of Azerbaijan, and GDF Suez its operating partners. Total said this discovery is the result of its aggressive exploration policy and shows its desire to bring the site rapidly into commercial production.
On the other side of the market, Italy's domestic utility suppliers are seeing poor performance this morning after the government announced it is considering freezing the tariffs for electricity, gas, water, and transport suppliers until 2013 in order to contain costs for its citizens and businesses. Snam (NASDAQOTH: SNMRY.PK) is one of the sector's worst performers, down more than 2.5%.
As always, this morning's European news saw some winners and losers -- and perhaps some European buying opportunities. Indeed, legendary investor Warren Buffett has recently spent more than $1 billion buying the stock of a prominent European large cap. If you want to know why Buffett has bought into Europe, this special Motley Fool report -- "The One European Share Warren Buffett Loves" -- reveals everything, including the price he paid.

Winter Palace
For those arriving in Jordan, Qasr Mushatta can be the first archeological monument to see, even before their feet touch the Jordanian ground. The Qasr is beautifully visible from the windows of airplanes landing on the northern runway; it is just outside the airport fence.
Driving closer, you would first spot parts of the western elevations. Then the road brings you nicely to the middle of the southern side, at the main entrance of the palace. At this point there is a feeling of greatness, of beauty centered around symmetry and strict spatial order; a bit like Taj Mahal or some other Islamic monument planned in this grand axial style.
Before entering the middle of the central building, it is worthwhile to inspect the boundary wall with its intricate carvings just at the right of the main entrance. This wall is a monument by itself. Not only did it protect the main building from the vast desert landscape, it also created a beautiful space within, a space that is sculpted by this outer wall and the elevations of the palace in the middle. It is important to picture some of the trendy hobbies of Muslim caliphs in those days, during the golden age of the 8th century AD. Some scholars argue that these desert castle or palaces were constructed as private hunting destinations, with private walled-in miniature "nature reserve". The big space between the outer wall and the palace would then be better imagined as a garden, a place of paradise, with all sorts of animals surrounding the central palace. There might have been gazelles, ibex, oryx, and ostriches running around in this space –besides the usual domestic animals kept for transportation or meat. But there might have been no animals at all, except for the occasional hungry hyena hiding in this ruin in a cold desert storm; this palace was never finished and thus was never properly used.
The fact that both Qasr Mushatta and Qasr Tuba were constructed is something to contemplate. These palaces might have been built to realize a fantasy that, later on, after the structures were almost finished, proved to be not realistic or too expensive. The "contractor" of these projects might have given up or was asked to halt construction for some reason. It is very credible that this palace had the same builder as Qasr Tuba; one building was immediately built after the other or most probably one group of workers was divided into two crews with artisans alternating between them. When looking at the fired mud bricks inside some of the rooms, take note of the pointing between the bricks. The pointing, at both Qasr Mushatta and Qasr Tuba, is applied by hand. As the walls were never finished with the usual plaster coat, the pointing was kept as the last thing the builders did. You can close your eyes and reach out for these pointing lines, your fingers will fall exactly into the vertical groves registered in the mortar by the hand of a builder some 13 centuries ago. It might be a good idea for scientists to try to look for fingerprints in this grouting clay, and maybe, then, attempt to compare them with fingerprints from Qasr Tuba.
Jordan is blessed to have some of the world's best examples of early Islamic architecture. Such monuments are rare, representing a good case of Byzantine influences and at the same time reflecting the high architectural language of what was then the world's leading civilization. Today, these structures still show good culture that came to us from the east, from Iraq and Iran, more than a millennia ago, as part of an axis of highly civilized human achievement.
Qasr Mushatta in an easy destination, excellent for half a day or an early escape from office to catch sunset outdoors. Drive towards the airport, make a U-turn at the airports exit and drive back for about 2km, take the first exit to the right (eastwards). You should be driving past some factory and industrial sites. The road curves slightly to the south and gets closer to the airport's northern runway. You may, very possibly, be the only visitor, making your visit to the monument an enjoyable experience. A suitable destination for light picnic, especially in a sunny winter's day, when early grass already carpets the ground below the archeological stone. Destination is very suitable for families with children, and particularly interesting for architect friends or visitors from abroad.

Forex traders reviews confirm that GBP/CHF's uptrend is still intact, as seen on the 4-hour forex chart with an ascending trend line connecting price lows. Stochastic still hasn't reached the oversold zone, which suggests that a deeper pullback might happen before the rally resumes.
At the same time, the 100 and 200 simple moving averages are in line with the rising trend line, making it a strong potential support zone. A bounce off the 1.5100 major psychological level, which coincides with a shorter-term broken resistance area, could lead to a rally up to the previous highs at 1.5300.
Going long at 1.5100 with a stop below 1.5000 and a target of 1.5300 could yield a 2:1 return on risk. Aiming for new highs could improve the reward potential but it would be prudent to adjust the stop to entry once price tests the previous highs.
GBP/CHF: Forex Traders Reviews
The latest set of forex traders reviews shows that the pound might be in for more upside, as BOE Governor Carney reiterated their plans to start tightening monetary policy before the end of the year. The minutes of the BOE policy meeting revealed that most officials were in support of this outlook, as they were surprised that markets haven't been pricing in the likelihood of a BOE rate hike yet.
As for the Swiss franc, more weakness is expected since the SNB downgraded their inflation forecasts for the next couple of years. Although they kept monetary policy and their growth forecasts unchanged for the time being, it's not unlikely that they would jawbone or intervene in the currency market to defend the franc peg and ensure that EUR/CHF trades above the 1.2000 floor.
With that, support levels for GBP/CHF are likely to hold, particularly the confluence of support levels around the trend line and 1.5100 major psychological level.

Vietnamese artist Ben Tre has the ability to drill hollowed-out eggshells into his very own eggshell artwork. Tre says he has been carving for only a year, but already has a series of pieces in his portfolio.
The specific canvasses are chicken eggshells, which are hollowed out prior to carving without any chemical treatment to the shell. Extremely delicately, Tre then uses a friend's electrical drill to make small cuts and incisions to create his desired images. Some of these pieces include exotic outdoor landscapes, celebrity portraits (Albert Einstein, Mona Lisa and Queen Elizabeth). The carvings take a full day to complete, and are then mounted on display. Often, the shells are illuminated on the inside for greater effect, and are offered to his clients in encased glass globes to ensure protection of the sculptures.
These pieces are incredibly delicate and seemingly impossible without much patience, creativity—and of course, a steady hand.

Many epidemiological research have evaluated the associations among coffee consumption and the danger of skin cancer however, the final results have been not conclusive. This systematic overview and meta-analysis of the cohort and case–control research was carried out to determine the association in between coffee intake and the danger of nonmelanoma skin cancer. Studies had been recognized by browsing the PubMed and MEDLINE databases (to November 2015). Review-certain risk estimates have been pooled under the random-results model. We individually estimated the relative risk of the three conditions, for publicity to distinct doses of coffee consumption, sort of review style, and evaluation limited to the basal cell carcinoma kind. The summary relative dangers for nonmelanoma skin cancer were .96 [95% self-confidence interval (CI): .92–0.99] for a single cup of coffee, .92 (95% CI: .88–0.97) for 1 to two cups of coffee, .89 (95% CI: .86–0.93) for two to three cups of coffee, and .81 (95% CI: .77–0.85) for a lot more than three cups of coffee per day, respectively. This meta-evaluation advised that caffeinated coffee might have chemopreventive effects against basal cell carcinoma dose dependently. Even so, other potential studies are warranted to verify these results.

Some traditional rulers in Osun State have dissociated themselves from the purported endorsement of President Goodluck Jonathan.
Meeting at the Akinrun Palace yesterday, the monarchs described Jonathan's endorsement by some traditional rulers at the palace of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuwade, as an embarrassment to the traditional institution.
Briefing reporters after the meeting, their spokesperson, the Akinrun of Ikirun, Oba Abdulrauf Olayiwola Olawale, criticised the alleged sharing of dollars among the monarchs, who visited the Ooni's palace.
Oba Olawale urged the people to vote according to their conscience.
At the meeting were Timi of Ede, Oba Munirudeen Adesola Lawal; Olokuku of Okuku, Oba Abioye Oyebode Oluronke; Aragbiji of Iragbiji, Oba Abdulrasheed Ayotunde Olabomi; Olunisa of Inisa, Oba Joseph Oladunjoye Fasikun; Elende of Eko-Ende, Oba Rauf Adebayo Olaniyan; Oloyan of Oyan, Oba Kelani Adekeye Oyedare; Onirun of Oke-Irun, Oba Isaac Adetoyi Adetunlurese; Elerin of Erin-Osun, Oba Yusuf Omoloye Oyagbodun, among others.
The Akirun faulted the use of beaded walking sticks by some traditional rulers to pray for Jonathan after they endorsed him.
According to him, beaded walking sticks were not part of spiritual instruments to be used to pray for anyone in Yorubaland.
He said: "It is unfortunate that the episode of the endorsement has become the talk of the town.
"Many are even alleging that huge amount of foreign currency was doled out to the monarchs.
"They believe that all traditional rulers in the state were involved.
"It has gotten to a stage that some of our subjects are demanding their own share of the presidential largesse, which we know nothing about. It is quite embarrassing.
"And this is the more reason we are coming out to tell the world that not all of us endorsed President Goodluck Jonathan.
"As traditional rulers, we are not expected to be involved in partisan politics.
"But we can support the government's good policies and programmes that can promote development in our various domains.
"Our main concern should be supporting good governance, no more no less.
"It is, therefore, our wish and prayer that whoever emerges as the winner will be the one who will bring life more abundant to our people."
The monarch appealed to politicians to play the game according to the rule and avoid any form of violence before, during and after the elections.
He also appealed to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and all law enforcement agencies to ensure a level playing ground for all candidates.
Oba Olawale warned that law enforcement agents should not allow themselves to be used to engage in unlawful arrest and harassment that may lead to disenfranchising anybody from exercising his or her fundamental human right of participating in the election.

SEO Reseller Programs Are The Building Blocks To A Successful Business
SEO reseller programs can provide a fundamental career path to customer oriented individuals who want to enter the technology race. With everything moving toward online services these days, SEO reseller programs allow you to provide a very important need to customers without having the physical skills for the task yourself. Essentially, SEO reseller programs are a symbiotic relationship between one or several SEO providers, the reseller, and the customers that they acquire. SEO reseller programs depend on this cycle to ultimately successful, and it is you as the reseller that must be the glue that holds the whole process together. By doing this successfully, SEO reseller programs allow any skilled business person the chance to grow at a very rapid rate, without having to worry about time limitations for providing work that will meet a customer's deadlines.
Because SEO reseller programs start with customer demand, it is important that you capitalize on this in any way you know how. Hiring a marketing professional could come in handy here, as SEO reseller programs are to be treated like any other business. You must define a target market and then make the right effort to put your name out there to reach as many people as possible. A marketing professional will know all the right ways to do this, and give you the best chance to reach the maximum amount of customers in a very short period of time.
The second component to make SEO reseller programs successful is the SEO itself; and to make this work, you will need to outsource your work to top quality professionals. Customers can be unforgiving when it comes to services they pay for which means that you need to be prepared to go through a rigorous process when selecting SEO providers to work with. By making all the right moves, you will find providers that are not only trustworthy, but can deliver consistent results again and again within any time frame. Once these components are in place, you are ready to make some money. Of course, the last piece of the puzzle is you. An SEO reseller is what keeps the cycle going so you must be able to deliver every service you say you will, be nice to your customers and your affiliates, and do everything that is necessary to continue driving the business forward so that everyone is able to prosper.
Finding an SEO Reseller Program That Works for You
If you are looking for an SEO reseller program to promote your online presence to the world at large, be aware that a little bit of research should always be undertaken before making such a weighty decision. First, you should always make sure that the purveyors of any SEO reseller program under your consideration are spotlessly ethical in their tactical methodology and execution. This type of legally compliant, ethically sound online promotion is referred to as white label or private label SEO in the industry, and should always be considered a non negotiable attribute as you conduct your research.
Next, make sure that the SEO reseller program you choose is offered by a provider that is not only ethical, but has also been successful in their past efforts. Any SEO reseller program you consider should be offered by a company whose own website consistently ranks highly for common SEO industry keywords in popular search engine results, and their past clients should enjoy a similar level of recognition in their own fields. Customer testimonials can prove to be invaluable while narrowing down the SEO reseller program you eventually use as well, so look for the most highly and consistently praised entities offering an SEO reseller program that you can find.
At this juncture, take a hard look at each SEO reseller program on your list and decide which ones offer the best overall value. Look for innovative new features to target your preferred demographics, as well as a solid foundation that consists of keyword optimization and social media exposure. Once you have decided on the best SEO reseller program for your particular needs, make arrangements with your purveyor of choice to implement your online marketing plan of choice as soon as possible. You should be glad you did!

What could be even more Marwari than the 3 kilos of Thepla, instant poha and Girnar ready to make masala chai that we had in our luggage? This is the story of the biggest change of plans in the history of our family vacations.
When travelling with family, our flight tickets, hotel reservations and a checklist of all travelling members is duly printed and safely secured in crisp white envelopes. We are received by hotel staff at the airports and we comfortably check into our hotels. Our itinerary is planned and we ensure we wake up for breakfast buffet.
A fate encounter and a certain piece of information had us very excited! I crosschecked online and The Hindu mentioned it as following :
'The Madhya Pradesh government recently announced subsidies on visits to pilgrimages" located in Cambodia (Angkor Wat temple) and Sri Lanka (Sita Mata temple).The government will provide a one-time, 50% subsidy on the expenses incurred by the "pilgrim" upto a maximum of Rs. 30,000'
OMG,whaaaa?!So get this, we landed in Colombo, went to the south western coast where we had intended to spend the rest of the holiday,cut short our stay there and instead decided to drive 225 kms inwards to visit a temple,spend one night and the drive back 6-7 hours to Colombo in time to catch our flights. Just so that we could claim upto 1,50,000 rs.? Well, seems legit to me.
Fortunately, the hotel we were living in, Heritance Ahungulla, had another hotel from its chain of hotels in Nuwara Eliya and thus our bookings were shifted, though at a surcharge.
Heritance Ahungulla was a bit of a let down honestly especially since we had heard really good reviews.There was a large pool but other than that not too many things to do and the in house restaurants weren't much fun either.We stayed there 2 nights.
(We went on a river safari on the Madhu River which was INSANE and such a must do! Will tell you all about it in my next blog?)
We left after breakfast buffet and it turned out to be a pretty long drive, but it was also just as beautiful. We crossed beaches, then inland rivers, mountains and then most beautiful of all, the tea plantations.
Nuwara Eliya is a safe representation of heaven. Shades of green, crystal clear lakes, homely scent and happy winter weather.Nuwara Eliya is also called the 'Little England' of Sri Lanka. The vast green pastures with striking blue ponds and donkeys provide a background for Tudor Style bungalows. The Tudor style of architecture was first seen in 19th century Britain and is best characterised by steep gable roofs,rustic look and decorated chimneys, the kinds in England's countryside.
Sita Mata Madir
So, the legend is that when Sita Ma was abducted, it was here, at the temple site that she was held captive. Also, there are two big footprints where apparently Hanuman ji had landed.
The temple is not the most sophisticated or detailed but situated on the foothills of lush tea estates, it has a soothing effect.
When we entered the temple and had paid our respects, we turned to the priest and we told him we were from Madhya Pradesh and he seemed to have understood the rest of it… He gave us donation slips and made us a receipt for each person that would in turn serve as proof of having been there.Oh below is some more proof!
Now, we could check out the rest of the place.
It was starting to get a bit chilly, and obviously we hadn't packed for that (we were in Maldves before this). We just randomly picked a sweater or two from a local place and got on with it. We got ourselves some hot cappuccino at The Coffee Bar,which is super high on my recommendation list. The coffee was on point,ideal in the weather, the pastries would just melt in the mouth immediately and the ambience was very cozy and well done amidst greenery on all sides. We all ordered a drink and a snack at least (a fair amount of vegetarian choices were available too) and the bill came to about 200 Rs per head at most, cheaper than Cafe Coffee Day but like a whole different experience.
Heritance Tea Factory
A tea factory from the colonial times turned into luxury resort atop lush green tea plantations was what we got at the end of our itinerary change bargain, and frankly we couldn't have been more excited! The highest hotel of Sri Lanka was our bunking spot for the night. Like I mentioned, it was a restored tea factory, what I missed was the genius with which the restoration was carried out. It retained the authenticity of a factory while achieving great success in creating a lux property. It's a theme hotel that actually derives from a genuine past so its pretty cool.
We dined in the in house restaurant,Kenmare. The food was delicious and we had a fair number of vegetarian dishes to choose from. There was another restaurant in an actual live size train coach which sadly was closed that night.
This secluded,huge hotel amidst all the greenery is at least a dreamy plot.
Its proximity with the nature is a very big part of the experience. However, there isn't much to do, even in terms of amenities. There is a make do gym and a spa centre where you can use the
amenities only if you take a paid massage… There is an indulgent tour of the plantation where we dress up as tea planters and go on a guided tour and then go plucking tea leave in the estate and also a nature walk that is organised at different times in the morning… but other than that, you enjoy your solitude, a book or else if that's not your style, then you shouldn't think of staying here for more than 2 days.
// Now About that subsidy granted by the M.P government,we did file for reimbursement. It has been a while but we've heard from others about them receiving their dues. I'm hopeful and even if it doesn't come through, this was totally worth the gorgeous road trip, the stay at Hesitance, the tea plantation tour and the stories we have from there//
Also, I usually mention prices, but since this was a family trip, it wasn't exactly on a student budget…but I can safely say that Sri Lanka is very reasonably priced. I absolutely fell in love with the country and hope to go back there backpacking some time.
Nuwara Eliya was a last minute change of plans deal for us and thus we could only stay there for one night. But I hope when you make the trip to Nuwara Eliya,Sri Lanka (Which I really hope you do!) you go well intentioned, well planned and definitely with some warm clothes.
And lastly,talking about Marwari Roots, we bought a hell LOT of tea and a Noritake Kettle, so be sure to drop in sometime and we'll have some chai.

As the title says, can anyone recommend a good camera for an enthusiastic beginner? I'd love a really good quality camera for family, kids and some sports photography. There are courses run locally so I could learn to use all of the functions. Any tips on brands?? Would 300 be a realistic budget or would I have to spend more? TIA!

Now Robert Redford is working with the government, as his Sundance Institute partners with the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities and other federal cultural organizations to promote cross-cultural dialogue via independent film.
From the Institute's press release:
Film Forward: Advancing Cultural Dialogue chooses a carefully curated group of 10 contemporary independent films, five American and five international, and invites the filmmakers to present their works in selected locations in both the United States and at American embassies and other venues abroad. Master classes, discussion panels, Q&As and other engagements between filmmaker and audience are programmed around the screenings in all locations, cultivating engaged dialogue, fostering appreciation of other viewpoints and developing new audiences for independent film.
It's eerie how many of my favorite topics are united in this story--cultural diplomacy, indie films and cross-cultural dialogue--as if it had been created for me in an experimental government lab. I like this idea, and not just because I'm and independent film junkie. This is a really savvy cultural diplomacy move--uniting a government objective to increase cross-cultural dialogue, a globally respected private organization and Robert Redford. What's not to love?

Copernicus Land Monitoring ServiceHigh Resolution land cover characteristics for the 2015 reference yearLot 4: Wetness and water product (Copernicus HRL)
2016-09-01 – 2018-02-28
The main requirement of lot 4 is to generate a combined Wetness and Water product which will be a classified product of the occurrence of wet and water surfaces over the period 2009 to 2015. The product will be based on time-series optical high-resolution image data from the Copernicus space segment (Sentinel-2) and Contributing Missions (SPOT, IRS) as a primary source, complemented by multi-temporal (seasonal) Landsat data. In addition, this HRL will for the first time integrate SAR data from the Sentinel-1 satellite on a pan-European basis.
Due to the specific nature of the product, which will ingest a multitude of optical and SAR imagery over a prolonged time series of 7 years (2009-2015), the level of automation will be significantly higher than for other HRLs. This will be especially the case for the Wetness & Water Probability Index (WWPI), a product mainly dedicated to expert users. In addition, the main product will be a cleaned up product to be disseminated more widely, which will contain defined classes of permanent water, temporary water, permanent wet, temporary wet, and dry areas
Each HRL will be internally validated based on scientifically sound quality control procedures and taking into account the experiences made in GIO production (as far as applicable due to the modified concept), and outcomes are documented in product delivery reports.
