For the 2017/18 calendar, the FAO projects that Egypt will import 11.7 million to 12 million tonnes of wheat, a figure that is about 9% higher than its five-year import average. No other country will likely break the 10-million tonne mark this year. This is where we get to the point about why you should care.

From John Quincy Adams to Thomas Boylston Adams, 29 March 1801
Berlin 29. March 1801.
My dear Brother
I received last evening your letter of 31. January, enclosing your annual account and a copy of Dr: Tufts's. With this punctuality, as well as with your management of my affairs in general I am very well satisfied. With regard to that portion of my property which had become desperate or precarious before it came into your hands, I only wish you not to remit your attention, though I am far from being sanguine in the expectation that it will be of much avail—To [. . .] as you observe is not an agreeable employment, but it is often a necessary and a useful one—Upon this point however I can safely depend upon your discretion.
There are in your account charges on both sides which I think erroneous, and several particulars, concerning which I wish for further explanation. Perhaps the mistake is on my side, in which you will easily clear it up. If it be on your's I am sure you will be equally ready to rectify it.
There is one uniform principle upon which every article of your account with me must be formed, which is this. Every sum of money great or small which you pay out, as representing me, you ought to charge on the debit side of the account—And every sum, which you receive, in like manner, belongs to the credit side.
Now, under the date of Decbr 31. 1800—You have charged 216 dollars 66 cents, to the debit side, for a "Balance of Cash in bank passed to my credit." This I do not understand. A balance passed to my credit, cannot stand to my debit—If it is a balance [. . .] you should receive it, and charge it in my account as received, upon the credit side. In that case the charge ought to be transferred from one half of the account to the other, and [. . .] increases the balance in my favour by 438 dollars and 32 cents.
But I confess I know not from what source a balance in bank can be due to me, different from the balance which must be composed of the monies accruing from interest &c, which are already allowed in your credit charges—It appears to me, that I have nothing to do with the account which in my name you keep with the bank—That is an affair between the bank and you. A balance in bank is of itself neither a receipt nor a payment. It must arise from sums accruing in interest &c, which being already charged in your account to my credit, cannot again be charged to my debit. Under this point of view, this charge ought then to be deducted from the debit side, but not transferred to the other. The balance in my favour would thus be increased by 216 dollars 66 cents.
On the credit side under the date of Octr 27. you have charged 10 dollars 65 cents, for "Broker's commissions," upon the bills of exchange which at that time you drew.—But if the broker's commissions ought to be charged at all, it should be, not on the credit, but on the debit side. They are not a receipt but a payment.
I say if they ought to be charged at all, because it seems to me that in justice and equity, the broker's commissions ought to be considered as included in the commission of [. . .] pr cent allowed you for transacting my business. Negotiating the bills is an essential part of the agency, quite as much as drawing or figureing them—If you employ therefore a broker to do it for you, he is for that purpose a subordinate agent, and his fees ought to be, not a distinct charge against me, but to come out of your commission.—If this idea be just the charge <
with>[. . .] to be deducted from the credit side but not transferred to the other.——and the balance in my favour will thus be reduced by 10 dollars 65 cents.
On the same credit side, under the date of [14] and [. . .] [jany] you have charged 27 dollars 11 cents for amount of Dr: Tufts's commissions for 1799 and 1800—This charge is on the right side of the account, but it is too large Dr: Tufts's commission, charged in his two accounts amount only to 23 dollars 86 cents—This mistake appears to have arisen from your having added the balance, of Dr: Tufts's account for 1799 to his commissions in that for 1800. The amount of commissions charged in his account of 1799, is [9] dollars 50 cents. If I am right in this, the balance in my favour will be reduced by [. . .]
The balance in my favour, stated in your account, is [542] dollars [. . .] cents—But you have added under it as said in bank to my credit [587] Dollars. How can it happen that the cash in bank to my [credit] should be larger than the balance of your account?
Your charge of [206] Dollars 60 cents, as Commission 5 per Ct including all charges, is hardly [. . .] commission of 5 per cent should be charged singly and [. . .] and every other charge [. . .] judge of this propriety. The charge of [. . .] your account you I think [. . .] dollars [. . .] cents. [. . .] the amount of the [. . .] with the deduction of the charges for balance of old account, for broker's and Dr: Tufts's commission [. . .] Upon these by virtue of our agreement, no commission is chargeable. Upon all the rest it is. But, what charges constitute the difference between the 271 dollars 3 cents and the 286 dollars 60 cents, I know not.
Since writing the above it has occurred to me, that perhaps the brokers who sold your bills, deducted their commissions from the proceeds of the bills themselves, and if that was the case, this charge in your account stands right and needs no further explanation.
You [sir]! immediately [perceive] that the only object of any [. . .] upon which I need further explanation is that of 215 Dollars 66 cents on the debit [. . .]you will [judge] [. . .]and minute attenion in me to have [. . .] much about it—But [. . .] of accounts between minute attention and carelessness I know of no medium. And [. . .] by my [nature] I have too much [remembrance]
I have therefore to request that you would give a full and patient application of mind, first to understand the force of the above observations and then to solve my difficulties, or rectify my mistakes.
Your charges for the proceeds of the bills of exchange have not yet explain'd to me, what the medium of exchange between Philadelphia and London is—Your 66 2/3 and 72 1/2 per cet: is still perfect Arabic to me. But I find by the proceeds of the bills, that the first £500 sold for 4 dollars 53 cents to the pound sterling and the second for 4 dollars 53 cents to the pound sterling and the second for 4 dollars 60 cents—The difference between them therefore is not of 2 1/2, but of about 1 1/3 [. . .].—The merchants and brokers in all countries, endeavour to make this matter of exchange an inexplicable jargon—a mystery of the trade, but every person who has any thing to do with it, ought to understand it thoroughly.
I hope you will ere long receive one of my letters of Feby: 7, 14, or 24 and draw my monies from England—I wish to have no property dependent upon what may happen in that country.
To keep my letters upon private business entirely distinct from all others, I shall mingle no other subject with it in this—I therefore only enclose a little item for your friend Oldschool.
Yours affectionately,
John Q. Adams

our favorite hero walk onto the screen, with a great wardrobe, and even better tools
and weapons. We want to bring that feeling back, when you contact us to make your
special item, we include you from start to finish, and when you open the package,
reach in and pull out you prize, we want to guarantee that there will be a huge smile across

snakeeyes316.... RPF
Daryl would continually update me on the progress of the sword. I would send him photos that I took off the HL blu ray to help where I could with accuracy, and he would take it under consideration. He would then send me photos of his progress!

Most people assume that death will end a person's legal woes -- but that isn't always the case. Some lawsuits can easily survive the defendant's death -- and some can even start after an individual dies!
Most people don't think of estates this way, but they're really legal entities under the law. Because of this, they are treated like a person for many purposes -- including when it comes to lawsuits. If an estate is sued in a timely manner, all of the assets in the estate may be held up pending the disposition of the lawsuit.
What are the most common reasons that an estate gets sued?
1. A creditor makes a claim.
Most of the time, debts owed by the deceased either get paid off by the estate or discharged by the creditor -- depending on the laws of the state and the type of debt involved. However, sometimes a creditor will sue an estate to collect what he or she is owed.
2. An heir is unhappy.
Heirs often sue estates for various reasons. Sometimes they don't like how the assets are supposed to be divided, so they sue over that. Often, however, lawsuits by heirs are directed at the executors of an estate when they're accused of mishandling the estate's funds, taking inappropriate sums of money for themselves and failing to follow the terms of a will or trust.
3. The deceased was already involved in a lawsuit.
If the deceased was in a lawsuit at the time of his or her death, the estate may end up standing in the deceased's place while the lawsuit continues -- although that sometimes can change depending on the assets and insurance available.
4. A claim arises at the moment of death.
Sometimes a person will create a cause of action for a lawsuit at the moment of death. For example, imagine that someone dies after hitting another car while drunk driving. The people in the other car would have the right to bring a personal injury claim against the deceased's estate (or their family members could bring a wrongful death claim).
Because there are a lot of complex issues involved with estates, there are many nuances to the issue that can't be covered easily. That makes it important to consult with an attorney about any questions you have regarding estates and lawsuits.

If you've ever been at a loss for the perfect housewarming/wedding/going away/just because gift, I've got an Etsy shop that you should bookmark. Kim of Albie Designs creates the cutest art, representing your favorite cities. I'd take one of these instead of a souvenir from a place I've visited any day. Each print is full of fun details and represents the city's skyline, landmarks and personality.
Here's a quote, directly from Kim's blog, about her process:
"It takes me months to complete a city. . . I take hundreds of images, and source as much information as possible (including maps and local blogs) to help create a scape that is familiar, but not typical. I want each print to incorporate many of the city's landmarks, critical architecture, and surrounding nature as possible. In fact, in most cases it's equally important that nature's skyline is as much a part of the design as the architecture. At the end of the day though, wrapped up in the MANY hours of research, sketching, drawing, frustration, and breakthrough moments, I hope that I create a piece that is endeared by those who love the city."
Of course, I'm partial to the Charlotte print:
She also created a series of fun art for the kitchen:
See more of Kim's work and beautiful home on her blog.
Albie Designs is giving away $100 in shop credit. To enter, visit Albie Designs on Etsy and leave a comment on this post telling me the city you'd most like to see framed on your wall. I'll choose a winner at random and post on Wednesday, Feb. 12th.

7 Recent Trends In Sexual Behavior Among High Schoolers, According To A New Report
In an effort to better understand current trends in sexual behaviors among high school students. Researchers at the Guttmacher Institute compiled data obtained over the last five years by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in a report. They studied responses to the CDC's 2013, 2015, and 2017 Youth Risk Behavior Survey and found that while some sexual health issues facing teens are better controlled than ever, others have cropped up to replace them, leaving high schoolers especially vulnerable to things like STIs and sexual violence.
Access to sexual health resources and comprehensive sex education is still the best tool for preventing unfavorable outcomes, researchers say. And arming teens with this information does more than just come in handy in the heat of the moment. Having time to consider sexual health practices and weigh their options before they're sexually active actually gives teens better agency over their sex lives in general. In other words, it isn't just about structuring education around preventing "bad things" from happening; it's about presenting students with all the possibilities, and trusting them to choose what they want to happen.
Notably, the CDC's Youth Risk Behavior Survey only polled teens who were enrolled in high school, so adolescents who had dropped out went unrepresented in the data. But here's what report authors Elizabeth Witwer, Rachel K. Jones, and Laura D. Lindberg found when breaking down the survey responses.
1. There's An Overall Decrease In The Proportion Of Students Who've Had Sexual Intercourse
Sexual intercourse among high school students has been in steady decline since 1991. But in 2017, just 40 percent of high schoolers reported having had intercourse, which is the lowest rate since 1991, when the survey began. The decline was greatest among black students.
2. Older Students Are More Likely To Have Sex Than Younger Students
No surprise here, but seniors were more likely to be having sex than freshman — 57 percent compared with 20 percent. Each year, about one in five teens will newly start having sex.
3. LGB Girls Are More Likely To Be Sexually Active Than Straight Girls
Eighty-five percent of the students surveyed identified as heterosexual. But among girls who identified as gay, lesbian, or bisexual, 50 percent of them had had sexual intercourse, compared to just 36 percent of their straight counterparts.
4. Younger Students Are Less Likely To Use Contraceptives
Overall, students reported using contraceptives at pretty high rates. Ninety percent of boys and 84 percent of girls reported that either they or their partner had used a contraceptive the last time they had sex. But one in five ninth graders reported not using contraceptives, while only one in 10 juniors and seniors graders weren't using them. This makes sense given the stigma, shame, and access issues younger teens face when becoming sexually active.
5. More Students Are Using IUDs, But Fewer Are Using Condoms
IUD use doubled in teen girls from 2013 to 2017. It, along with other prescription methods like birth control implants, injectables, patches, rings or pills were used by 35 percent of teen girls in 2017. But that number spiked most significantly amongst senior girls. They saw a rise in prescription birth control use from 36 to 45 percent between 2015 and 2017. Unfortunately, condom use has slipped by several points across all demographics. And following that logic...
6. Pregnancy Rates Are Falling, But STI Rates Are On The Rise
The pregnancy rate among teens has dropped 38 percent from 2006 to 2013, but STI rates — the study calls out chlamydia and syphilis specifically — are newly on the rise among young people. With more reliable long-term birth control methods slowly becoming more accessible to teens, it appears that diligence about using condoms as well to prevent against STIs has been lacking.
7. LGB Students Are More Than Twice As Likely To Experience Sexual Violence
Girls were more than three times as likely to experience sexual violence, such as forced kissing, touching, or sexual intercourse, than boys. But 22 percent of LGB-identified students reported experiencing sexual violence as compared with only eight percent of their straight counterparts.
As of December 2017, only 24 states mandate sex education. And if it is taught, 27 states require that abstinence be stressed. But as the report shows, and researchers state, there's certainly a need to provide students with more comprehensive sex ed and access to sexual health services.

October 26th, is "Österreichischer Nationalfeiertag", the Austrian National Day. Every year on this day since 1965, Austrians celebrate the declaration of neutrality after the Second World War which was signed in May 1955.
To honor this special day, we are taking a look at the country's culinary side, with a cuisine that is closely linked with its history. Both influences from countries within the former Austro-Hungarian Empire as well as regional influences from neighbouring countries such as Italy, Bohemia or Germany interacted to develop the rich cuisine as it is known today.
It is important to know that there is not one kind of Austrian Cuisine, but unique regional variations within the country. Mostly, the term is associated with Viennese Cuisine, a multi-ethnic cuisine. Classic dishes that make up this typical cuisine are mainly based on meat, such as the very popular "Wiener Schnitzel" or "Tafelspitz". Considered as national dish of Austria, Tafelspitz, which is boiled beef simmered along with root vegetables and spices in the broth, actually is one of the few original Viennese Specialities and has a very long tradition.
The Emperor's favourite dish
As favourite meal of Franz Joseph I, Emperor of Austria, boiled beef has been one of the standard dishes at the imperial court. It is written in an official cookery school textbook from 1912: "Nie fehlt an der Privattafel Sr. Majestät ein gutes Stück gesottenes Rindfleisches, das zu seinen Lieblingsgerichten zählt." which translates to "His Majesty's private table is never without a fine piece of boiled beef".
Franz Joseph preferred his boiled beef accompanied with freshly grated horseradish, cabbage and stale bread for absorbing the remaining sauce. Except on days of fasting, boiled beef could be found on the imperial family's menu every day. Not only the emperor developed this distinct love for beef, but the dish was of great significance for the diet of all social classes.
"His Majesty's private table is never without a fine piece of boiled beef"
The name "Tafelspitz", literally meaning tip for the table, derives from the Austrian term for the meat cut. Usually from a young ox, the cut comes from the top hind end of the cattle, the Musculus glutaeobiceps. The illustration on the right depicts this Austrian style of meat cut, with number 25 marking the part known as Tafelspitz. Pinzgauer Rind, Almenland Almochse, Ländle Kalb or Wienerwald Weiderind are some examples among cattle breeds which are popular for this cut.
The meat itself and the way it is prepared have hardly changed since the 19th century. Still nowadays, boiled beef is classically served with extracrispy fried potatoes, apple-horseradish and chive sauce. Very special is the tasty soup that results from boiling beef and vegetables. It can be served before the main course, garnished with dumplings, noodles or soup vegetables.
Austria… and Lithuania?
Did you know that also the Baltic state Lithuania had some relations to the Austrian cuisine? Within Europeana Food and Drink, the project partners from Austrian National Library and Vilnius University – Faculty of Communication are at the moment exploring historical gastronomic relations that are rather unknown to develop an eCookbook based on traditional recipes. Old cookbooks, pictures or illustrations, found through Europeana and other sources are the foundation for this research. Europe is looked at from a different angle, considering it to be a net of culinary connections which is linked by invisible historic threads leading to their traditional cuisines.
Stay tuned on our blog to learn more about the result of this European culinary exploration, with historic dishes travelling from Austria to Lithuania and vice versa.

So, just to remind us, there are on-page and off-page SEO techniques. On-page SEO includes things you do on the pages of your website to draw the attention of the search engines to your keyword phrases. For example, your domain name should include your keyword phrase. And your pages should use your keyword phrase when you discuss and describe your products and services. Include an informational articles section on your site, in which you publish fresh, interesting content optimized for your keyword. If you use video or images on your site, tag them with appropriate keywords, too.
Since the National Zoo is part of a large network of museums and galleries that are 70 percent funded by the federal government, the panda cams are affected.

Silkwood: Based on a true story about Karen Silkwood (who worked making plutonium fuel rods.) Silkwood (Meryl Streep) discovers some improper and dangerous practices by her employer and brings them to light. After arranging to meet with a New York Times reporter, she is killed in a car crash. It is not known if the crash had anything to do with her actions, but many think it was. The character of Dolly (Cher) , who is Karen's room mate along with her boy friend (Kurt Russell,) is a lesbian webcam sex shows.

You have probably read a lot of articles such as on how to grow your email list. This is great, but what do you do when you don't know how to use the information? What comes next?
Manage your email list
Realistically, after you've grown your email list, you should understand how to get the most out of it. As the list is the foundation of marketing efforts, it's essential that you manage and utilize the subscribers in ways to bring you the most profit. Thus, this article will help you with methods, so you begin doing intelligent marketing.
Update the Sign-up Form
If you've used the same sign-up form since the begin, it's time to change it up as there's always room for improvement. Of course, by now the form should have the required fields such as:
• Name
• Email address
• Age
These three essential things will bring you valuable insight into your subscribers. If you have more than three, you should go ahead and delete some of the extra fields as people are put off. Some people will be too tired from filling up the form, let alone signing up.
Merge Tags and Hidden Fields
If you wish to understand your customers better, you should think about hidden fields. These will give you information on:
• City
• Language
• Signup source
Mind, these fields are detected through IP addresses, so if you want more advanced areas, you will need programming skills to set it up. However, to understand these fields, you must learn to use Merge tags. These tags can be added to the subscriber information so you can segment the list better.
Additionally, if you want additional information, yet you don't have any time for programming, you should consider doing a customer survey. If you do such a thing, it's critical that you think carefully about the questions that you're asking. For example, ask people what type of movies they prefer rather than what movie. This will help you to provide personalized information later on.
Once you have gathered relevant data about your subscribers, it's time to separate people into groups. As a rule of thumb, you should remember always to write a descriptive name for the segment as it will be easier to figure out at all times.
Generally, there are two types of segmentation, and each company adds several conditions for each group.
Subscriber-based filter – Here, you will need to add the name of the segment, the date the user has signed up, loyalty status, and language.
Activity-based filter – If you want the groups to be more specific, you will have to select the users that have opened and opted-in on a particular date.
Segmentation Based on Campaign Results
Subscriber-based filter – Separate those that have received and opened the campaign with any data that you have on them.
Activity-based filter – Out of the whole list, select those that have not only those that have opened and followed the CTA button but also those that have had the emails bounced.
To avoid mistakes, you have to check that every email address in the list is valid. Therefore, TheChecker will check email through an innovative A.I powered checker that will convert more sales and increase the campaigns ROI.
Create Personalized Campaigns based on email lists
An experienced marketer will tell you that one size rarely fits all so you must never underestimate the power of a clean and segmented list. If you want to increase profit, you must send out emails that consist of personalized offers. An easy way to do this is to set an automatic trigger and send out a discount code, free eBook, or a welcome package every time a new subscriber has joined the list.
After you've sent out the campaign, you should always dig deep into the report. This action will allow you to see what has worked and what needs improvement. Hence, if you notice that a particular campaign has low open rates each time, you need to think about how to convey it differently. Therefore, you should think about:
• Improving subject lines
• Think about the relevancy of the content
• Whether the email be seen on all devices
The good news is the fact that the majority of email providers will allow you to examine several pieces of information, so you don't have to second-guess. For example, some will let you know the status of the list, the average clicks and open rates, the most popular device used by subscribers that read the email, and where users are located.
Furthermore, some will even let you examine the profile of the subscriber, such as the engagement percentage, history, and you can save notes on particular email addresses.
This is excellent news, but you cannot risk having a list of misspelled emails, addresses that are marked as spam, and inactive addresses because it will damage your sender reputation. Once you are marked as spam by the email provider the subscriber is using, your campaigns will no longer reach their Inbox.
A/B Split Testing
If you have any doubts and you don't know if you've gathered the information the right away, the simple solution is A/B split test. By using this test, you will be able to test almost anything from the placement of the CTA button to the sending time. However, you cannot do this for the whole list. You must do the test for each subscriber segment as the results don't apply for all. If you want to stay ahead of the competitors, you should practice A/B testing almost every time you send a campaign.
Remember, it's more important to create a list with people that engage with your campaign than a long list of subscribers that barely open your emails. The reason for this is because they're more likely to make a purchase.
If you believe that several subscribers have gone inactive, you should follow the tips in this article.

Hotel and spa company Debreceni Gyógyfürdő Kft, owned by the local council of Debrecen, northeast Hungary, plans to build a Ft 3.5 billion-Ft 4 billion hotel next year, managing director Lajos Fazekas said on Thursday.
Financing for the four-star hotel has not been decided on yet, Fazekas said. Debreceni Gyógyfürdő operates a water park and two hotels in Debrecen. The water park, opened in June 2003, generated revenue of Ft 378 million in 2005, attracting more than 500,000 visitors. The company's Wellness Hotel boasted an occupancy rate of 78% in January-August this year, including a rate of 88% in the summer months. Debreceni Gyógyfürdő's other hotel, for which it was recently awarded a 20-year operating contract, is expected to close 2006 with an occupancy rate of 40%, but this is expected to reach 50% in 2007 and 60%-65% later on. The company targets operating profit to account for slightly more than one-quarter of revenue after the hotel's third year of operation. The 96-room hotel, which is suitable for holding conferences, was built for Ft 2.4 billion by general contractor Keviép Kft.
Debreceni Gyógyfürdő had profits of Ft 251 million on revenue of Ft 1.6 billion in 2005, up Ft 100 million and Ft 200 million, respectively, from a year earlier. The company targets a 15% revenue rise in 2006.

Rules for Polish people
To legally enter Brazil Poles officially are not required to have a visa. You only need a passport and a face that won't look like an illegal immigrant with a life sentence in "temporary suspense". During the passport control, they might ask for the aim or time of stay, but generally, there shouldn't be problems with that. Then they stick a stamp with the date and write in there a "90". Or well, they could write something else too, so you might wanna check it, cause that "90" is supposed to mean the maximum of 90 days you can legally stay in their country on the touristic entrance. So if you see there a 20, it means you'll be packing quicker than you'd have planned most definitely and it's important to take it into account.
How to deal financially
I personally did not have any problems with restrictions of my stay and have come to Brazil legally two times already. Both times with the correct annotations. The problem with a touristic entry is only that officially you can't work here then, so I recommend freelance solutions or following my steps selling services type "I know English, don't let me starve". More about that you can read in the post What I'm doing in Brazil
What when the visa is expiring – my adventure renewing the visa
In order to renew the visa, you've got to go to the building of Police Federal and there hand in the correct application together with the documentation. Ah, nothing easier than that, because of course, all of us love bureaucracy, don't we? We love huge queues, the paperwork, wasting whole days trying to obtain something, going back and forth every time returning with nothing just because there's one detail missing in the papers or because they're closing exactly when our turn arrives. Who doesn't love that?! …exactly.
One solution to the bureaucratic issue
Around two weeks ago I discovered that in Brazil – although the bureaucracy is claimed to be as impossible as it can only get – there's a solution for that, for those ones of us who don't love it quite as much as the others 😉 – retirement.
Okay, that sounds like a joke considering the majority of people who need to deal with all the trouble of visiting the offices are generally young more often than not, but this is precisely the point! There are hardly any retired people trying to get something fixed, get their visa renewed or their passport ready and so it seems that being retired makes you a priority case!
Of course, that doesn't mean that I should wait to renew my visa until I am 65 years old, but it could mean going to Police Federal to solve this issue with my boyfriend's dad instead of with Leo himself I spared myself an infinite amount of waiting and trouble, as the guy at the gate seeing an elder like him immediately directed us to a priority (nonexistent) queue even having been explained that it's actually me that needs help, not him. That meant we were attended right away and directly sent to the right floor that takes care of the renewal.
And then… then I saw this huge mass of people one on another, all of them with small tickets stating their numbers and waiting for it to be their turn… The priority queue at the gate saved me from nothing I thought.
My disappointment though lasted maybe a minute, as before we could even think of where to obtain a ticket there was already a guy asking Toninho what he needed and directing us to a window skipping the whole line of people. – We were attended right away again and then again and in the end, we managed to get out of there within.. maybe 20 mins. WOW.
To get the visa extension
As for the visa itself I did not obtain it this time around cause it's too early – my current visa is still valid until the 9th of July – but I got what I went there for: the important information.
It turns out that the renewal is possible but only for the next 77 days instead of the full 90 because of my previous stay here for those two weeks in December and in order to stay I need…
– a credit card (that I do not own) and
– a ticket back home (that I have not bought OBVIOUSLY cause I hadn't known if they would extend my stay or not).
In the end though it is all good, cause – again – having a resident of Brazil with me we were just handed in a paper that was stating he was endorsing my stay here and taking the responsibility for me and then the woman just explained to us that we need to come back with this paper signed again at the end of June and bring a copy of a flight reservation that would confirm I am going back to Poland at the right time ("confirm", cause it's just a reservation and doesn't have to be an actually bought ticket, which makes it safer in case I didn't get the renewal after all). For now, everything's settled then and I can sleep in peace.
Lesson of the day: Brazilian bureaucracy made easy – don't go alone! Get yourself some retired company 😉

• Reaching Your Peak Performance: Swifter, Higher, Stronger
• Dealing with "Difficult" Team Members: From Ms. Constance Complainer to Mr. Hasty Impulsive
• Team Dynamics in a Workplace: From Irritation to Acceptance
• Overcoming Procrastination in a Workplace: If There Is No Wind, Row!
Reaching Your Peak Performance: Swifter, Higher, Stronger
In 1921, Pierre de Coubertin, founder of the modern Olympic Games, borrowed a Latin phrase from his friend Father Henri Didon to use as the Olympic motto: Citius, Altius, Fortius (Swifter, Higher, Stronger). This workshop, intended for business leaders, will connect the "Swifter, Higher, Stronger" motto with the characteristics of high-performance teams in business organizations. Links between sport and business will be made to help companies that are losing sight of how to improve performance by applying the principles of sport psychology to business.
Coaches and business leaders alike are often in highly visible and exposed positions. This may isolate them, but great value can be gained from an external agent, such as a psychologist, who can offer independent help to leaders in sport and in organizations. Effective leaders in sport share a similar vision and are creative and innovative. Organizational leaders can enhance their leadership style by learning from winners in sport. Parallels will be made between what makes a good coach and what makes an effective and respected organizational leader. Lessons from high-performance coaches and Olympic and World Champions will be shared to facilitate respect and acceptance within organizational teams, create team identity and distinctiveness, and foster a sense of trust and feelings of pride and loyalty within small or large companies. The workshop will conclude with specific strategies to help executives find new ways of developing personally and professionally in order to become "Swifter, Higher, Stronger".
Dealing with "Difficult" Team Members: From Ms. Constance Complainer to Mr. Hasty Impulsive
This interactive and fun workshop is based on case studies of seven fictional characters: Ms. Constance Complainer, Mr. Shun Avoidant, Ms. Hesitancy Indecisive, Ms. Attention Seeking, Mr. Superior Bonaparte, Mr. A.R. O'Gant, and Mr. Hasty Impulsive. The purpose of the workshop is to reflect on different personality traits through the use of humour and to recognize the common characteristics of complainers, avoiders, "indecisives," attention seekers, "superiors," "arrogants," and "impulsives." The emphasis of the workshop is on delivering practical strategies to help you more effectively interact with people who display some of these challenging traits.
Team Dynamics in a Workplace: From Irritation to Acceptance
A week prior to this workshop, participants will be asked to complete a personality inventory, which will be interpreted during the workshop. The purpose of the personality inventory is to describe different personality styles on your team. The inventory will help you gain a better understanding of yourself and others, demonstrate the value of having diverse personalities on your team, help your team understand which situations will energize their co-workers and which will put stress on them, and provide useful information for team leaders to increase team effectiveness.
The principles of team building in sport will be applied to team building in the workplace. Stressful situations for different personality types will be discussed in order to develop constructive ways of utilizing personality differences. The focus of this workshop will be on acknowledging that these differences exist and on helping you change your mindset: from irritation to acceptance. Based on the unique combination of personalities on your team, interactions that work well will be enhanced and problem-solving strategies will be applied to the areas that do not work well. Team members will be asked to identify the toughest issue facing the team to explore strategies of handling disagreements, tension, or conflict. The purpose of this workshop is to determine what keeps the team from being as effective as it could be and to brainstorm ideas about what you would like to change to make your work environment more effective.
Overcoming Procrastination and Perfectionism in a Workplace: If There Is No Wind, Row!
Does your pursuit of perfection lead to avoidance and procrastination? This fun, interactive workshop is designed for anyone, from business owners to frontline staff, who might be stressed out by the impending doom of a fast- approaching deadline. The workshop will highlight the true nature of procrastination and perfectionism, connections between procrastination and perfectionism, and common misperceptions of these behavioural or personality patterns that often add more stress to the already anxious procrastinator/perfectionist. The workshop will offer practical strategies for enhancing workplace productivity.
Developing Your Career Intuition
This workshop is designed to transcend conventional ideas and rules regarding choosing a career. Creativity will be the foundation for developing your own personal career vision. Participants will draw on their knowledge, imagination, logic, and intuition to develop connections between different life experiences and their future career path. The focus of the workshop will be on self-discovery. Participants will be asked to embrace the functions of both the left and the right brain and bypass the linear thinking processes; they will be guided through specific exercises to balance intuition with career analysis.

Magnetic domainsData is stored on a hard disk in the form of 'bits', minuscule magnetic domains with a North and a South pole. The direction of these poles ('magnetisation') determines whether the bits contain a digital 0 or a 1. Writing of the data is achieved by switching the magnetisation of the relevant bits.
Synthetic ferrimagnetsConventionally, this switching takes place by applying an external magnetic field that forces the direction of the poles either up (1) or down (0). An alternative is to achieve this switching optically, by using a very short (femtosecond) laser pulse. With this, data storage can potentially be much faster and more efficient. The researchers succeeded in realising this optical switching using so-called synthetic ferrimagnets – materials that are eminently suitable for spintronics applications. This was achieved with a single femtosecond laser pulse, which means the writing of the information is energy-efficient and fast.
Writing data 'on-the-fly'Furthermore, the researchers combined this optical switching with a so-called racetrack memory, a magnetic wire in which the data, in the form of magnetic bits, is transported efficiently with the aid of an electric current. In this system, the data is stored continuously in the magnetic bits using light and these bits are then immediately transported along the wire because of an electric current, which then frees up space for empty magnetic bits and therefore new information can be stored. This 'on-the-fly' copying of information between light and magnetic racetracks, without intermediate electronic steps, is just like jumping back and forth between two moving, high-speed trains, instead of changing to another train at a station. This is obviously much faster and energy-efficient.
Nano scaleThe research was carried out with micro wires. In the future these need to be reduced to nano scale to enable integration with computer chips. The research group Physics of Nanostructures is also working on the optical reading of the (magnetic) data.

An Insight event exploring Obsidian Tear, Wayne McGregor's latest work for The Royal Ballet, was live-streamed for free via the Royal Opera House YouTube channel on 11 May 2016. The live-stream is still available to be watched by clicking the video above.
During the event, The Royal Ballet's Resident Choreographer worked with artists from the Company to rehearse extracts from the ballet. He also spoke about the creation of his work together with its composer and conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen.
Obsidian Tear is a visceral exploration of myth and modernity, inspired by Salonen's orchestral work about the Ancient Greek goddess of the night Nyx.
The ballet has its world premiere at the Royal Opera House on 28 May alongside Kenneth MacMillan's The Invitation and Christopher Wheeldon's Within the Golden Hour.

Obsidian Tear / The Invitation / Within the Golden Hour runs 28 May-11 June 2016. Tickets are still available.

If you look hard enough, you can find pretty much anything in Seoul. Last year, on my birthday I found a bottle of Portuguese green wine. Here's the rub, I paid $40 for what would be a $5 bottle of wine in Portugal. Anything remotely considered a Western specialty or gourmet food gets a hefty mark-up. On the other hand, Korean style gourmet foods are incredibly cheap – I cook with oyster mushrooms all the time…be jealous…be very jealous.
The Buzz
During the last year or so, I started reading on the interwebs about the awesome goodness of Larabars. I'd never heard of a Larabar. But, there was this collective Larabar buzz that couldn't be ignored. People were tweeting about them. Raw food advocates were touting them. Foodies were loving them…but, I wasn't seeing them in Korea.
The Options
I bet if I went to the very posh food court at the Shinsegae Department Store, they would either have Larabars or could special order them for me. I am also confident that the mark-up would be tremendous. A sentimental bottle of wine on your birthday is one thing, but over-paying for a gourmet energy bar is something else entirely. Which meant I was left with three options (1) I could look for another supplier – Amazon does in fact sell Larabars. (2) I could do nothing and just skip the whole Larabar experience, or (3) I could create my own solution with a DIY Larabar.
Health Habits to the Rescue
Douglas Robb is a personal trainer in Toronto, a force on twitter (@HealthHabits), and the author of the Health Habits Blog. After reading his post Homemade LaraBar Recipes, option 3 was the obvious choice. Doug saves you a lot of leg work, as he has tracked down and linked to the best Larabar recipes on the web.
My Mad Methods
I had some early success with the Eat. Run. Do Yoga. Chocolate Coconut Pie recipe. I also messed around with the Very Cherry Bars from WellSphere. But, it wasn't until Roger (who writes for Son of Grok and is another must follow on twitter @RogerDeRok), suggested that I try replicating the Cinnamon Roll Larabar that I hit a real home run.
What follows is the recipe that I worked out. Be forewarned, I am not responsible for any resulting Cinnamon Roll Larabar mania that flows from your first batch. I've got my own problems with family members hoarding the available supply and threats of bodily harm if an order for a double batch is not completed this weekend. It's like I'm cooking meth for Gus Fring.
The Recipe
3/4 of a cup of loose dates (I use whole dates, which take up a lot of space)
1/4 of a cup of almonds
1/4 of a cup of cashews
1/4 of a cup of raisins
1 Tablespoon of cinnamon.
Step 1: Combine all ingredients in your food processor or blender.
Step 2: Mix / Blend / Chop, until a relatively thick ball starts to form. Don't go too fast. I gradually increase the speed from low to medium. If it looks too dry to form into bars, you may need to add more dates.
Step 3: Expect greasy hands. Chopped and mixed dates and nuts are incredibly oily. You've been warned. Scoop the mixture out of your food processor or blender and into a bowl. Press the mixture to make it more compact.
Step 4: Break off portions from the ball and shape them into bars.
Step 5: Wrap the bars in plastic and refrigerate.
Pro tip: Prep your plastic wrap strips before your hands get greasy from forming the bars. I hang mine from the edge of the counter, so they are ready to go when I need them.
Pro eating tip: Squeeze the bar out one end of the plastic wrap, then you can hold onto the plastic wrap as you take a bite and keep your hands perfectly clean.
Eat and Enjoy
In this case, option 3 really was the best choice, as a custom solution led to a collaborative effort, a fun kitchen experiment, and saved money.

Resource management in multi-project environments is always puzzling.
The resource management module provides clarity and allows you to optimize the occupancy rate of your resources.
When allocating resources, you have access to all of the information for that resource (work schedule, cost, occupancy rate and availability).
A multi-criteria search engine allows you to find the right resources with the skills and experience you need.

A Woman Should Have
by Pamela Redmond Satran

A woman should have…a youth she's content to leave behind….
A woman should have…a past juicy enough that she's looking forward to retelling it in her old age….
A woman should have…a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra…
A woman should have…one friend who always makes her laugh… and one who lets her cry…
A woman should have…a good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her family…
A woman should have…eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems, and a recipe for a meal, that will make her guests feel honored…

Every woman should know…what she can and can't accomplish in a day…a month…and a year…
Sometimes, half the battle is just showing up.
Sometimes just saying yes and showing up is what it's all about.
I have reached the fun, "CHECK PLEASE!" point of pregnancy. I'm ready to be done. I have a tiny reprieve from nausea which has been replaced by what I'm gently referring to as "pregnancy narcolepsy." I feel asleep the other day for three hours with my laptop firmly in my lap, and hadn't planned on a nap.
I'm working on trying to say YES to as much as possible, which, yesterday included a fun formal/ball gown give away event in down town Jacksonville, NC at the USO. I think I get extra points for sporting yoga pants, flip flops and a t-shirt in a room full of beauty queens and sequins! Talk about a technique to light a fire! Everyone keeps joking about lack of sleep once Baby G arrives, but I'm ready for less bathroom breaks at three am, no upset tummy or splitting headaches not to mention, it's easy to be happy about waking up in the middle of the night when there's a cute fella involved! 😉
http://www.jdnews.com/news/local/hundreds-swarm-designer-dress-giveaway-1.210582?tc=cr a link to the Jacksonville Daily News article
I hope this event makes its way through the bases again next year. It was a blast to see so many ladies finding a FREE dress of their dreams! Stay posted and if/when I hear more, I'll certainly update the post so folks know all the details!
Hope you have a great ball/formal season! I'll be doing lunges and squats forever not to mention MANY miles with the stroller and wee man!
NUMBER ONE OFFICE IN ONSLOW COUNTY! It's a tiny bit unheard of and I'm burning the midnight oil to make sure I'm contributing, but our little firm of under thirty agents is the number one office and holding for Onslow County in Eastern NC! I say this as we beat out offices/firms with multiple locations and close to one hundred agents.
Working hard, doing right, following up and quality control pay off. It's been a tortoise vs. the hare sort of race since Keller Williams came to town but I think that's how you win.
Work hard, stay humble, be nice to people.
Only four lots left!
Rates are low and PCS orders are flowing! We have three homes VERY close to completion if you're interested in a door to door move!
Lots 8, 9, 11 and 16 are all that remain in our waterfront community of Kings Harbor in Holly Ridge.

"What the HECK is she doing?!"
BTW, I am no wizard, ninja or magical fairy when it comes to this. . .
If there are technical suggestions you'd like to offer or topics you'd really love to see covered, please give me a shout out. I'm great with constructive criticism- not as in, I can make a fort out of them, but you catch my drift.
I know what I'm pretty great at, a short list, but: real estate, making babies stop crying, pot roast, hosting company, decorating a Christmas tree, ratatouille, responding to texts quickly and almost as quick with calls, being an Aunt and adoped Aunt to many, a decent shot, and hitting 250 posts (merci, c'est ici!).
If you have pointers or want to link up on linked in, facebook, pinterest and zeee twitter, give me a holler or track me down. In the mean time, shake a leg and have an awesome Tuesday afternoon!
HI guys,
A favor to ask for a dear childhood friend of mine. Maria has been ill
since the summer after our graduation and has yet to recover. Treatment has
included a four organ transplant and this year, she is up for yet another
transplant. Once a bright, college-bound athlete and the picture of health
and by far our friend with the sunniest personality, she's been a prisoner
to basically, a mystery illness.
She has made it to the finals for an HGTV makeover/renovation of her home,
which would be her sanctuary for recovery after her surgery.
Voting is easy, you don't have to log in, simply visit the link on my
facebook or :
and vote for her. I'd really appreciate it and she's so independent, this
is as close as she has come to asking for help in over ten years.
Help me make her life a tiny bit easier, help her win her "happy bomb.". .
.and I wouldn't be bummed if you forwarded this to any of your HGTV junkie
friends. 🙂
Please and thank you in advance, every vote helps.
**** UPDATE-I have had folks ask HOW to vote. Towards the top right there is a series of stars, when you pass your mouse over them, they turn red. . .click the far right star next to her "score" and it votes for you. I believe you can only vote once but we are looking into the HGTV rules. So, in case you can only vote once, spreading the word really helps since every vote for Maris is so precious. Thanks for all your help!

Montana Republicans just can't seem to shake their attraction to the idea of selling off our public lands, no matter how unpopular the idea is among the people of our state–and Matt Rosendale is no exception.
While he's half-heartedly attempting to backtrack now, when it counted, Rosendale worked to sell off the public lands that are so important to our state. He co-sponsored legislation to begin the process, ran a Congressional campaign on the idea, and even voted to create a state task force that conservation groups quickly–and rightly–denounced as a backdoor plan to privatize state land.
While Mr. Rosendale is trying to get to the Senate, one of his earliest backers, Senator Mike Lee from Utah, is launching another assault on the public lands of the West. Lee, who praised Rosendale as someone who would help restore "constitutionally limited government," recently gave a speech and tweeted out a plan to have the states take over federal lands, a step that would inevitably lead to the privatization of much of the land we value so much for its public access here in Montana.
Throughout his idea-free campaign, Rosendale has repeatedly implied that Senator Tester has endorsed every idea presented by any Democrat anywhere in the country, so it seems reasonable to ask: does Rosendale agree with Senator Lee, the Wilks Brothers and himself from just a few years ago? Will he stand against Lee and pledge to never vote for federal land transfer?
Given his connection to the Wilks Brothers and politicians like Mike Lee, it seems abundantly clear that there is no way we can trust Rosendale to protect our public lands heritage no matter how he tries to spin his position today.

In addition to the Atkin's weight loss program, low carbohydrate is the idea for quite a lot of food regimen plans, the record beneath reveals some of the more nicely-known variations. The different sorts do have minor variations however all are basically low carb diets.
The low carb bread recipe I attempted was okay. I didn't think it had much taste, nevertheless. I tweaked it and came up with a greater low carb bread recipe. I turned it into an herbed low carb bread. No less than, I believe it is higher. No, it is not as mild and fluffy as as white bread made with yeast. It's extra of a rustic bread, but it does the job of satisfying my hunger for bread.
Lean meats are perfect for wholesome lunches. Tuna packed in water is low in energy and excessive in protein and is simple to eat at home or the office. Couple the tuna with some entire grain crackers and a small salad dressed with a simple olive oil and vinegar dressing and you can be happy until dinner. Rooster can also be an important protein for people that are looking to drop pounds and lower their dangerous cholesterol levels. Leftover baked hen may be placed on top of a salad dressed with a low ldl cholesterol salad dressing or just a drizzle of olive oil and lemon juice. Toss on a couple of nuts for some additional crunch, and you may be satisfied until dinner.
For a low-carb food plan, you do not eat much less, just otherwise. Persist with eating three-four meals per day with small, wholesome snacks as wanted. 8 You additionally experience less starvation as a result of your blood sugar being higher regulated. With much less carbohydrates, fewer blood sugar spikes (and falls) occur. This retains you from getting too hungry or experiencing cravings.
Other draw backs with a low carb weight loss program contains the truth that your body does not get all of the nutrients it needs which can trigger problems if a low carb diet is kept over a longer period of time. A low carb food regimen excludes too many food types and nutrients to be an acceptable long time food plan possibility.

Maps, Collisions, and Items
I've made some significant progress since the last post to the tune of some 600 lines of code. A large pain point for this segment of functionality was figuring out how to read Lua scripts into the game engine and translate the script variables into something usable in C. What I've come up with works, though the implementation seems rather brittle. This may simply be a facet of trying to read any configuration in non-C into C, although admittedly interacting with the Lua stack is not the most intuitive of approaches...
Reading the Lua map scripts allowed me to be able to properly render a game screen and all of its collision bounds and items. I have yet to connect the maps via doors, but that's only a matter of time now. Below is a video of the progress as of right now.
One touch that I added was to offset the player sprite by -16 pixels on the Y axis. This allows it to be drawn halfway on top of other blocks to make it look as if he's walking in front of things and also not walking directly on the water's edge. However, this has presented a new issue where half of the player will be drawn off screen if he's walking in the top row of squares in the game window. You can't see this in the map segment shown in the video, but this becomes an issue in other map segments. I'll need to figure out what to do about that. I may just add a border around the entire playable area.
I may take a slight detour here soon and start working on a GUI map editor. Editing them by hand is going to get out of hand, so to speak, and I have some ideas about the machanics behind how to implement an editor. We'll see if I can make it work out or if it's going to become a miserable headache project. That being said, it may behoove me to move away from C to build it if I can accomplish the task faster in another language. If I can still easily use SDL, perhaps I can work with C# in .NET Core on Linux. I'll have to see what my options are, anyhow.
Also, I've added v0.02 to the game page. I don't have a working Windows build for this at the moment.

Many people moving to Toronto seek out the upscale neighbourhood of the Bridle Path in Toronto, which is the most affluent neighbourhood in Canada. It is bordered by the Post Rd to the north and Park Lane Circle to the south, between Park Lane Circle to the west and The Bridle Path to the east. It gets its name from its equestrian beginnings. Originally, the area was home to the horsey set. But by the 1920's, plans for the area included a network of equestrian trails.
The area as we know it today is due to some affluent businessmen and avid horsemen building luxurious homes in the area in the 1930's. After some time, lots were sold in a minimum of 2 acre parcels, and home plans were scrutinized to ensure the architectural integrity of the neighbourhood. Some of the original homes remain to this day, including the first home built at 2 The Bridle Path in 1936. The neighbourhood is filled with old growth trees, and beautiful gardens, though no equestrian trails exist to this day. The Bridle Path neighbourhood is across the street from the affluent Granite Club, and a short drive to some of Toronto's best private schools, including TFS (Toronto French School), Havergal College, and Crescent School. Commute time to the financial district of downtown is 40 minutes by public transit, or 50 minutes by car.
Real Estate in the area has always provided excellent returns. Turnover of homes in the area is a bit lower than other areas of the city. In the 1980's, homes went for $2,650,333 on average. In the 1990's it was $2,670,455. In the 2000's it was about $3,178,693. However, from 2010 to present, the average selling price is $8,644,883. There are only 5 homes on the market right now, with an average asking price of $17,498,000. Rentals in the area are rare, with only one smaller home currently available for rent, with four bedrooms, asking $9,900 per month.
Moving to Toronto? Are you part of a Toronto relocation with your employer? I can help you with all steps of the process, from finding a new home, temporary housing in the meantime, settling in services, move management, and so much more. So many steps of the move can be handled in advance, so when you arrive we can get you settled much faster. When moving to the GTA, I can help with all aspects of the relocation. We can make moving to Toronto seamless.
I'd love to hear from you, so call me today to discuss.
