Best Birthday Present For Early Childhood Development
The first 8 years of a toddler's life is considered crucial for development. This is the period where they tend to learn the basic yet important things needed for their growth. This includes developing their motor skills, having them differentiate between senses and letting them practice real life activities.
As a parent, one should note that there are proper toys their toddlers can play that can help with early childhood development. Likewise, if you're someone about to gift a 2-year old a verjaardagscadeau, here are a couple of toys you can give that are fun and helpful for a toddler.
For Fine Motor Skills
Bead Maze A bead maze is a fun toy for toddlers. It encourages them to practice their motor skills and detect color. It teaches them patience as they follow the line with the beads attached. Playing a bead maze toy also helps give them that confidence boost when they're able to successfully finish the game.
There are many varieties of bead maze toys you can choose from. Remember to pick a sturdy one. Toddlers can get a little frustrated at the start and might throw it around. But with a little guidance from your end, your child will be able to enjoy this toy and learn something new.
Building Blocks
There is no limit to imagination. It is especially interesting to watch as your little one builds whatever they can think of just by using blocks. With simple toys such as building blocks, your child will be able to practice their muscle development and hand-eye coordination.
The toy brand Lego is one example. With the blocks given, kids will be able to tap into their imagination and build anything they can think of. Do note that at their age, bigger blocks are better and safer than small ones.
For Sensory Play
Touchbooks are like story books wherein each page has a material where children can feel several textures. This helps in differentiating between rough and smooth, or soft and hard. It awakens their senses of how they feel things. It can also help them describe to their parents certain feelings, enhancing their vocabulary.
Sound-Emitting Toys
A toy xylophone or a piano can be a fun learning experience for your toddler. Not only will they be able to play with it but sound-emitting toys will teach your kids the different tones and pitches a sound can make.
More examples of sound-emitting toys are the microphone and a toy drum set. Children will find these toys fascinating and who knows, you might find a hidden talent for music in their early stages.
For Practical Life Skills
Cooking Sets
This may just be a common toy but cooking sets are actually helpful in teaching your kids some life skills. For instance, they'll be able to tell what a knife is for, how to use a spoon and fork and tell the difference between fruits and vegetables.
Busy Board
Teach your kids how to tie their shoelace, zip up their bags and fasten buckles with a busy board. It is a simple board where several skills can be practiced such as tying, fastening, zipping and snapping things close or open. It serves as a great learning introduction for your child before they can start doing it in their everyday life.
These toys are what you need for early childhood development. They're fun and safe for a growing age such as theirs. It would also be best if you can play these toys alongside your kids so as to guide them and connect with them.

Uncontrolled rage and anger is a problem that is much more common than people realize. Learning to manage and control your anger is crucial to living a well-adjusted and happy life and forming lasting and healthy relationships.
Unmanageable anger very quickly gets out of hand and can create any number of problems throughout your life. A volatile temper can lead you to act in a way that is hurtful and destructive, and cause action you may come to regret. Anger tends to cloud the mind and judgment and leads to poor and unwise decisions and actions. Not only can it be harmful to those around you, it can also lead to health complications in your own life. Ulcers, headaches, increased risk of heart attack; these are all health issues that can arise from having a consistently unmanageable temper.
Knowing the risks and ill effects unmanaged rage can cause makes it all the more imperative to learn to control. If you catch this problem at its inception, you can save yourself time, effort and hassle later on in life.
Such a problem does not simply happen one fine day out of the blue. It usually grows progressively worse with time. Sometimes children also suffer from anger management issues. It is extremely important that this problem be corrected right at its onset in order to save your children from unneeded and unwanted harm and hassle in later life.
Anger management issues are manifested in children in several ways. They may be easily provoked to anger by seemingly small actions, they may be unnecessarily aggressive, they may have violent outbursts etc.
The first step in treating this problem with children is identifying the cause or trigger for their anger. Some children simply lack self-control and find themselves easily overtaken by any strong emotion. For others though this anger is a manifestation of a deeper-rooted problem or issue. Perhaps trouble at home, or some fear or insecurity, or perhaps it is caused by some resentment the child has.
Helping your child to resolve these issues can help them learn to better control and manage their tempers. There are many anger management techniques that apply especially to children. Children need to be taught that there are other ways to deal with their problems and emotions other than lashing out in rage. One technique is providing an outlet for that energy in a way that does not harm the child or those around him or her. In many cases physical exercise, activities or sports can help to curb this problem.
Some children may be able to benefit from anger management courses. They are hosted by specially trained and certified counselors. Learning to control your anger empowers you to be able to make your own decisions in a clear and rational manner rather than being led by emotions. Anger that is properly channeled and managed can be used in a constructive rather than destructive way.
Anger management courses for children can either be conducted one on one, or in group sessions according to the preferences of the child and parents. Some children feel more comfortable one on one while others would benefit more from being around other children who are dealing with the same issues. It can help to provide support and solidarity.
It is very important the parents provide a solid support base for their child as he or she learns to deal with and manage this powerful emotion. It is much better to catch this problem young then to have to deal with it once it develops into a set habit and pattern. If you find your child has issues managing their anger then you should seek help immediately in order to help your child learn to deal with this issue as soon as possible.

Above is a pic I did a few months ago of the kit I was taking on the road for a particular trip. This time I forgot a load of things:
- Prescription sunglasses – brilliant because it means that you don't have to mess around with contact lenses in hot, dry, dusty conditions. This time I'm squinting a lot in my regular specs
- Contact lenses – I thought I'd be away for a week. Consequently, I only brought one set, which were already close to the end of their life
- Leatherman – often take it places but then don't need it. A sharp knife would have been great on this trip. Watermelons are on sale at the side of the road
- A hat – bought one at Zurich airport (don't ask how I ended up there), where the only available hats were all Swiss themed. Not ideal, unless you are trying to pose as someone from the Red Cross (I wouldn't ever do that, and anyway the Swiss flag is the reverse…)

Why Upgrade?
InduSoft works hard to make certain that upgrading to the newest version of our HMI/SCADA software is hassle-free. Backward compatibility means that applications designed in older versions of InduSoft Web Studio can still be opened, edited, and easily configured to incorporate new features and graphics. You may keep both versions of the software installed simultaneously and work in either version.
Security for HMI and SCADA projects is an increasingly important consideration. InduSoft Web Studio 8.1 offers a wider range of security tools, like a distributed security system and LDAP and Microsoft Active Directory integration with password expiration. The newest version of InduSoft Web Studio also supports authentication and encryption of the MQTT protocol, which is becoming a standard in IIoT.
Connectivity is also important, as many devices become integrated within a smart network, or older equipment is replaced. InduSoft Web Studio 8.1 HMI/SCADA software offers OPC UA Client/Server connections in the full runtime, EmbeddedView, and IoTView in addition to the 240 native drivers already included. To further improve connectivity, the drivers for the electrical industry (DNP, IEC) are now native within the software and are not considered add-ons.
With InduSoft Web Studio 8.1, you'll have access to training videos and dozens of sample applications that showcase useful features that can be incorporated into your HMI projects.

Richard Lutz trawls this week's best movies beaming from that flashy flatscreen pinned to your wall.
For all you that rise early, let's say before the 5 o'clock cocktail hour, this Thursday sees a great pair of old fashioned black and white films.
First, there"s The Blue Dahlia (12.45pm, Film Four). Veronica Lake (see above at only 4' 11") and Alan Ladd (a giant at 5' 6") star in this crime noir scripted by Raymond Chandler.
Don't worry too much about the 1946 plot. It skirts around all levels of logic as Chandler was told to change the end and reacted by hitting a wrier's block and eventually snapping off an ending that really doesn't make much sense.
Anyway, suffice it to say, three Army buddies, fresh from the war, find themselves in a whodunnit that's such a muddle director George Marshall had to keep asking RC just what the heck was going on. Chandler dawdled, the camerawork just about overtook the unfinished script and Ladd and Lake, this pair of mini-cuties, did their best with all the confusion.
Ladd himself, as a wartime Army vet, filled out the role with tough guy élan. He was so small that Hollywood had to re-design some of the sets and Chandler said she was such a void that he almost "threw his lunch over the fence" when he saw the rushes. As for La Lake, she quipped: "I wasn't so much a sex symbol as a sex zombie."
She worked in a New York bar after Hollywood jettisoned her. An ex-lover, Marlon Brando, sent her cash when he discovered she was floundering.
Earlier, there's His Girl Friday (9.10AM, TCM), one of the liveliest screwball comedies that still creates laughs. Cary Grant is a cagey newspaper editor and Rosalind Russell his ace reporter who is also his ex wife.
They quip, banter and trade barbs in this comic 1940 feast because….well, fans, they still love each other though Roz is about to marry dunderhead Ralph Bellamy. This is the re-boot of the 1931 comedy The Front Page and presages the brilliant 1974 successor, also The Front Page, with Matthau and Lemmon (a must see).
Director Howard Hawks was desperate to capture real life chitchat. He encouraged ad-lib quick witted repartee, tripled the speed of the dialogue and injected extra pace by allowing talk-over dialogue wired together by some neat editing.
The verbal sparring may be close to 80 years old but it still works a treat. It added weeks to the production but Hawks knew what he was doing, the world is a better place for it and Grant found himself immediately elevated to the pre-war A list. Plus he and Russell wore great outfits.

When I was a child, I always had this image of how my life would be when I was older. The key age I saw myself as was in my thirties. This, to me, was when I would be most grown up. At this age, I decided, I would have my own home, a good career, lots of confidence and a husband with a few kids maybe. Whenever I thought about the future, or I was unhappy in the present, I would see this future me, frozen in time, in stylish clothes, with perfect hair and a big smile, cruising through life, knowing all the answers. I decided that at this age, things would be how I wanted them to be. I would be living the life that I wanted.
It's taken a lot of time between then and that point for me to realise that life is very different to how you imagine. Those idealised views aren't always as possible as you imagine, filtered illusions of the future become distorted and changed over time. It takes hard work, sacrifice and a lot of luck to make it to the place you want to be. Even then, sometimes you discover it's actually not what you thought it would be, or it's not what you really wanted at all. After all, what you dream as a child and what you aspire to as an adult can be very different, depending on the life you have growing up.
From a young age I always wanted to be a writer. I loved reading and writing my own stories, my imagination was always in overload, looking for the next creative challenge. Roald Dahl opened a magical world for me, followed by Enid Blyton and later R.L Stine, Stephen King and a host of other contemporary authors. I never really decided I wanted to be a writer. I think I just knew that that's what I was meant to do. It's cheesy I know but it's like it chose me. The imagination, the drive and the desire was there. Everything else just depended on luck and circumstance. I had some positive comments about my creative imagination in school and went on to do well in English at GCSE and A Level . I studied English and Creative Writing at uni. Even during this period of my teens and early twenties I always figured that's what I'd end up doing, not really realising how hard it was. I never considered giving up. I still don't.
After Uni, and a small taste of success, with publication in the university anthology, I took menial jobs while still working on different projects. Short novels, short stories, poetry, flash fiction. I gave anything a go and I entered lots of competitions. I did well in some, making it to the shortlist, but never winning any big prizes. I've had my work published locally in magazines and newspapers and nationally in Mslexia magazine. I was offered a place on a mentoring course with a small publisher in North Wales who loved my work. I really enjoyed the course and got lots out of it, including an improved manuscript, but am still trying to find a publisher for this book. I took part in some work placements, at two small publishers and a local Theatre. I continued to write, because that's what drove me. Looking back now, I can see that I was making progress, small progress, but progress all the same. However, compared to the view of my future life, seen through the eyes of that imaginative ten-year old, it seemed rather different.
Then, I started reviewing for Theatre Wales, through my voluntary work for the local theatre. Years later, I took up a freelance job at a local newspaper, writing about local arts from Film and theatre, to arts exhibitions and creative events. After a year, I became the freelance reporter for my local area covering local news and events. I loved this job, as it involved writing every week, using my own initiative to find stories and create interesting articles for readers. Getting out and about to meet people helped my confidence and opened up my eyes to what was going on locally. I made some good friends and valuable contacts during my time working for the newspaper. I also learnt a lot about how print media works as well as writing non fiction for a variety of readers. Plus my skills were obviously good enough to finally be paid for! Unfortunately, this job came to an end and for a while I wasn't sure where to go next. I'd always worked full-time job's alongside my creative projects, knowing full well that the money was not enough to live on just yet. But I always had that craving for more creativity, more diversity and new challenges in my life.
So when I saw that Arts Scene in Wales were looking for reviewers, I jumped a the chance. Sure, technically it wasn't a paid position, but expenses were covered and the exposure was great for my writing CV. With ASIW I've reviewed Theatre Productions across Wales, ranging from small stage productions by companies such as Torch Theatre Company, Theatr Mwldan and Mappi Mundi covering classics like The Turn of the Screw, The Woman in Black, She Stoops to Conquer and Pride and Prejudice, to touring West End productions such as Sister Act starring Alexandra Burke. I love doing this job because I get to write about something I love. It's also lovely to have such positive feedback about my reviews and to see people engaging with them via the website or social media. They are also sometimes quoted in Theatre marketing which is always great to see. I never would have thought that I would end up reviewing theatre. Yet i'm so glad that I do.
I also do book reviews for Mslexia Max, Mslexa magazine's online forum. They send me poetry, short stories and novels every few months to write about for their reviews section. I love being part of this too. I think it's important for a writer to be actively involved in the arts, in as many ways as they can. I think it feeds the creativity, the living breathing desire for that spark. To feel something and to connect.
At the end of last year, the final step in my creative journey was realised. I had long known that I needed to find a day job that was more creative, that added to my personality and to my career goals. I needed something that was stimulating and in an environment that helped me to be creative, to be around other creative people. Finding that job has taken years. It has proved frustrating at times. Writing was not enough. I needed to know that there was more out there, that there were other creative types, that there were other things going on, exciting, innovative, collaborative things. I needed to feel that all of this was possible, that it happened every day.
I started working for my local Theatre, (the one in which I did some marketing volunteering when I'd left uni), at the end of last year. It didn't take me long to realise that this was where I needed to be. Surrounded by creative people, by writers, actors, creative thinkers, readers, photographers, arts people. In this environment, I feel happy, inspired, free to be myself. If I look at the many areas of my life, I feel as of things are finally coming together to create a whole. I have a job that is more creative, I write reviews for theatre and a writing magazine, I also tutor English, I am getting to the end of my second novel – admittedly I do tend to procrastinate – and in my spare time (I get some believe it or not!) I am free to do whatever else inspires me or relaxes me, such as baking, watching films, going for long walks and spending time with family and friends.
So if I look back at my ten-year old self, imagining a future me, with this perfect life and all the answers. I think I'd just say to her that there's no set path in life. Some people make it in their 20's, others take a lot longer to find their true happiness. I finally feel like I am where I belong in life. I may not have the big house or the family of my own just yet, yes i still struggle with my confidence sometimes, and I don't always look stylish, but I'm happy and i'm doing something that I love. That's got to count for something, right? Being in your thirties does feel different from you'd imagine. It comes with all those added pressures that you put on yourself. But there's no set rules as to where your life should be at this point. You make your own rules. I've certainly made mine. Truth is, it feels great!

Lakeland, Fla. – While the Tigers were in the process of being no-hit in a spring training game for the fourth time in their history, Michael Fulmer was getting caught up in the NCAA drama in Indianapolis.
With three seconds left, his beloved Oklahoma State basketball team was losing by two points to Michigan and a Wolverine was on the free throw line.
"Watch, he's going to miss one of these and we're going to hit a three at the buzzer," said the Tigers right-hander, after he threw 59 pitches against the Yankees on Friday.
He was half right. Oklahoma State did drain a 3-pointer at the buzzer, but it was rendered meaningless by the two made free throws by D.J. Wilson.
"Dang it," Fulmer said.
The half-right finish was fitting because Fulmer's outing was also half-good in the Tigers' 3-0 exhibition loss to the Yankees, in front of a packed house at Publix Field (9,704).
He struggled to find a feel for the ball in the first inning – two walks, 29 pitches – and he gave up three two-strike doubles in the fourth.
In between, he was perfect, retiring six hitters in 16 pitches, including a four-pitch second.
"I went from throwing not enough strikes to too many strikes, apparently," Fulmer said. "I don't know what it was."
It was a relatively chilly and windy day and he said the ball felt dry in his hand in the first inning.
"I sat in the dugout after the inning and stuck my hand on the water cooler," Fulmer said. "Just to moisten up my hand a little."
Catcher Alex Avila also complained that the balls seemed dry.
"We grabbed a couple out of the bag and they were a little cue ball-ish," manager Brad Ausmus said.
BOX SCORE: Yankees 3, Tigers 0
The problem was rectified and Fulmer cruised through the second and third. In the fourth inning, though, he gave up a double to Matt Holliday on an 0-2 pitch, a double to Chase Headley on a 1-2 pitch and another to Rob Refsnyder on an 0-2 pitch.
"All three I was ahead in the count and all three I thought I made a decent pitch," he said. "It's funny, the first inning I get outs with missed spots and in the fourth I give up doubles on spots I feel like I hit."
Big picture, he took another step toward regular-season readiness. Fulmer was happy to get into the fourth inning, especially after the extended first, and build his pitch count to 59.
"My biggest thing is getting up (and down between innings) and obviously lowering my pitch count," Fulmer said. "Throwing 30 pitches in an inning isn't going to help. But, I got into the fourth. Next time I hope to go five or six innings."
About that not-so ignominious spring no-no.
"It's not something you really worry about," Ausmus said. "It's not something you really remember."
Yankees right-hander Masahiro Tanaka might. Facing the Tigers for the third time this spring, he blanked them for 4.1 innings. The only blemish was two walks. He struck out six.
All told, he's pitched 10.1 scoreless and hitless innings against the Tigers this spring.
"He's either been really good against us or we've been really bad against him, or some combination," Ausmus said. "He looked really good today. It looked like his ball had a lot of movement."
Chasen Shreve (two-thirds of an inning) and left-hander Jordan Montgomery (four innings) finished it off.
"There's pride involved," Ausmus said. "You don't want to get no-hit, whether it's spring training, regular season or whiffle ball in the back yard."
Justin Upton probably hit the hardest ball of the day, a liner right to the Yankees third baseman Ruben Tejada. A couple of bloopers were run down and caught in shallow center field.
It was the first time the Tigers were no-hit in a spring game since 2009 when the Marlins, with Ricky Nolasco, Dan Meyer and Leo Nunez did the trick.
The Tigers were also no-hit in the springs of 1960 (Pirates – Bennie Daniels and Jim Umbrecht) and 1973 (Royals – Steve Busby and Doug Bird).
Around the horn
… Blaine Hardy (1.1 innings), Drew VerHagen (1.0), Ruben Alaniz (1.0) and Edward Nunez (1.0) pitched scoreless innings for the Tigers on Friday.
… Center Fielder Tyler Collins came out of the game earlier than usual, replaced in the after he got two at-bats after three innings. He was replaced by Andrew Romine. Asked if Collins was taken out for any health reasons, Ausmus said, "No."
… The Tigers have a split-squad day Saturday. Justin Verlander will start in Lakeland against the Marlins and Mike Pelfrey will start against the Braves in Orlando.

Veganism Makes a Big Difference in a Small Town
Dublin, OH tips the scales in the right direction by implementing vegan diets and cooking classes in their employee wellness program.
March 19, 2013
Residents of Dublin, OH decided to fight back against the city's rising health care costs by implementing stress management counseling, financial initiatives and fitness training, but despite its best efforts, the health care costs of the Midwestern city's 370 employees continued to rise. So Dublin infused veganism into its wellness program with lectures from plant-based health experts and cruelty-free cooking tutorials. After eight weeks, the percentage of hypertensive participants dropped from 20 to 3.7, they lost an average of 10.5 pounds, and reliance on medication was significantly reduced. "I definitely feel a lot better," says one participant on forksoverknives.com. "I don't want to put nasty junk that makes me feel bad into my body. I want to be as healthy as possible for as long as possible."

It's hard to think of a more healthful way to start your day than with a bowl of oatmeal topped with some nuts or seeds and some berries. That's because this grain goes a long way toward getting your system in gear for the day ahead.
Oats keep your blood sugar regulated so you have a steady source of energy for hours after eating. In fact, regularly eating whole grains such as whole oats or oat bran can help reduce your risk of Type 2 diabetes thanks to their role in steady blood sugar levels. Oats are a major source of fiber so they keep you feeling full for hours — and not just full, but satisfied. They're a great way to curb an appetite and cravings.
A quarter-cup serving provides you with 13 percent of your daily recommended amount of protein. And all that stuff you've heard about oats being a heart-healthy food is absolutely true. The type of soluble fiber found in oats can lower total cholesterol by as much as 23 percent. Oats can also reduce high blood pressure. But that's not all. Oats also contain antioxidants called avenanthramides that help prevent free radicals from damaging good cholesterol, giving an added boost of heart protection.
Oats are great for the immune system by boosting the ability to battle bacterial infections. With oats as our sidekick, our immune systems can more rapidly respond to infection and clear out the microorganisms that are causing trouble. So waking up with oatmeal may be a good way to also boost your immune system for the day ahead.
It's impossible to sing the praises of oats too loudly. If you change one thing about your morning routine to increase your overall health, make that change involve adding oats to your breakfast. In fact, it's so important that many of the recipes we suggest below offer fun, unique and delicious ways to prepare oatmeal so you won't ever get bored with this hearty breakfast. But we don't stop there — check out ideas for dinner and dessert as well!

Pan-Seared Oatmeal with Blueberries
Breakfast is where oatmeal is most commonly found, but that doesn't mean your oatmeal breakfast has to be common! This recipe not only has you searing your oatmeal for a toasted crust, but also poaching your blueberries in honey. Decadently different and yet healthy.
Sweet Potato and Oatmeal Breakfast Bake with Pecan Crumble
Another unique way to enjoy your oatmeal is to mix it with sweet potatoes, bake it and top it with a sweet pecan crumble. This recipe is a must-have when the weather turns crisp and cold in autumn.
If you love pumpkin pie, you'll likely love having this oatmeal recipe for breakfast. It uses pumpkin puree, a little bit of honey and brown sugar, and of course pumpkin pie spices, among other ingredients.
Oatmeal Brulée in a Jam Jar with Fruit and Nuts
This recipe is perfect for breakfast with the family or even when you have guests over for breakfast or brunch because it adds a bit of fun rustic flare to a simple oatmeal dish. The sugar on the top is bruléed into a wonderful crackly crust and then topped with your favorite fruits and nuts.
Another amazing recipe for oatmeal brulée, this time with bananas taking a starring role. This recipe is easily customizable, as you can add in other nuts, seeds or even chocolate chips to the mix when it goes into the oven.

Homemade Granola for a healthy snack
Another place where oats shine is in granola. This simple recipe is perfect for making a stock of delicious granola that can be used as a snack on its own, or as a topping in parfaits, salads, in trail mix or even on ice cream.
Homemade Peanut Butter Granola Bars
Granola bars are wonderful to have on hand for a filling and healthy snack while on the trail or quick meal when you're in a rush at work. We have a couple recipes for you to try, starting with this classic version that uses peanut butter, chocolate chips and raisins.
5-Ingredient Breakfast Granola Bars
Another option makes your granola bar even more simple and yet more healthy. This version uses oats, chia seeds, your favorite nuts, peanut butter (or your favorite nut butter) and a bit of agave or honey. You can also customize it with other things (like chocolate chips!) if you'd like.

Cinnamon Apple Protein Smoothie
Let's not relegate oats to oatmeal and granola. They're also a wonderful addition to healthy smoothies. Just let them soak in some water or milk and add them to your blender with other ingredients, such as apples, cinnamon and protein powder. If you like apple pie, then you'll love this.
Blueberry Oatmeal Protein Smoothie
Another favorite smoothie recipe is this one that combines blueberries, chia seeds, almond butter and protein powder with a few other ingredients for a smoothie that tastes like a dessert!
Want to add oats to your savory lunch or dinner? Here you go! Black beans, hummus, oats and seasonings combine into a wonderful vegetarian burger patty.
Chocolate, Hazelnut and Oatmeal Cookies
And let's not forget dessert. Oats are perfect for cookie baking. These cookies are gluten-free thanks to oats and a few other flours that blend into just the right texture for a chewy chocolate-y treat.

He'll drive you nuts and make you love him because of it.
He's on his way, I've said that before, but what I understand now is that it doesn't matter what ways God carves out for him; what matters is that he's freakin awesome.
So this is a big day. I'm admitting that instead of the awesome freak you can be with humming "Staying Alive" on the same pitch as BeeGees and forwarding Indian movies at the speed of light just so you can see what's at the end ...
... you really are ... freakin awesome.

Egnyte Adds Google Drive Integration
Remember when the only way to share a document with a coworker was to copy it to a disk (which often took several minutes) and then walk it over to your colleague's desk so he could upload to his computer (often another several minutes). Oh, and you had to be sure you both had the same version of the same app on the same kind of computer in order for the document to open on both of your desktops? Yeah…good times.
In today's work environment, we don't think twice about shooting documents back and forth via email. We require instant access to our data regardless of our location, and complain if there's any downtime. We just pick the tools and apps that enable us to do our jobs most efficiently – like Google Drive. And this is great, but wouldn't it be even better if we could combine these with enterprise features such as secure file sharing and storage?
This week we introduced a Google Drive integration that provides the ability to securely and reliably see, share and collaborate on documents and files stored in Google Drive. This enables businesses to combine cloud content creation with enterprise file storage and sharing. This new integration also eases IT's woes by adding an extra layer of security, while allowing users to work with the tools that best fit their work styles.
The new integration is simple – need to share a Google spreadsheet or document? Simply import it into Egnyte, and the two documents automatically sync when updates are made. You can then either share a link through Egnyte or use Google Drive to add colleagues to collaborate in real-time.
In addition, users can now store Google Docs and MS Office files side by side inside their secure Egnyte folders to create a unified namespace of their files across their smartphones, tablets and computers. Users can see everything they have access to and don't really need to worry whether it's in the cloud, on their desktop or on some other storage device.
The Google Drive integration is available today. Check it out and let us know what you think!

Lemon Rosemary Chicken Salad with Marcona Almonds and Cotton Candy Grapes
This Lemon Rosemary Chicken Salad with Marcona Almonds and Cotton Candy Grapes is a delicious creamy and flavor packed salad.
On a recent trip to the new produce stand, I purchased these yummy Cotton Candy Grapes.
"Description/Taste Cotton Candy® grapes look like your average green grape: oval-shaped, plump and firm. Their taste, however, is something entirely different. The flavor of these seedless grapes is unmistakably just like cotton candy. It is amazingly sweet, with a higher Brix level than the average green table grape and a texture that almost crunches. There is very little tartness, which holds the sweetness on the tongue, and a finish with hints of vanilla." (from: specialty produce.com)
I had originally thought that I would use the grapes to make some kind of dessert, but then decided to try them in a chicken salad.
I'm so glad that I did! The sweet juicy grapes were the perfect compliment to the salty Marcona Almonds.
This salad is great on it's own but would be amazing on some grilled crusty bread brushed with olive oil and garlic.
The perfect food for a sunny afternoon, on the patio, sipping a glass of Prosecco.
- 2 cups diced Lemon Rosemary Grilled Chicken see previous post for recipe
- 1/4 cup scallions minced
- 1/4 cup celery minced ( I like to include to leafy tops)
- 1/2 cups Cotton Candy grapes halved ( cut in half before measuring)
- 1/4 cup chopped Marcona Almonds I used rosemary Marcona Almonds but plain salted will work as well
- 1/2 cup good quality mayonnaise
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix to combine. Add more mayo if needed. No salt is required in this recipe since the chicken as already seasoned and the salt on the almonds add the perfect amount of salt.
Here is the link for the Lemon Rosemary Grilled Chicken
Hope you enjoy! Cheers!

We are excited to announce that the new PUBG mission system is in the final stages of development!
The mission system will include a verification system (using both the Steam Web API and the PUBG API) and a ton of really cool objective types that will create a truly diverse and engaging experience for GGB players. The decision regarding which game to select for integration was not reached lightly, here are a few of the reasons we chose PUBG:
- Genre – PUBG is competitive shooter and will create some diversity regarding the overall experience for our players. In other words, our players will be able to earn rewards playing games with totally different play styles. This will help keep the experience fresh.
- E-Sports Support – Both Bluehole and Valve have committed large amounts of resources to make PUBG a viable and competitive e-Sports game. These investments go a long way to ensure that PUBG will remain competitive and viable for an extended period of time.
- Recency – PUBG is a relatively new title (compared to League of Legends) and we feel this will further diversify the GGB experience.
- API – The PUBG API is inclusive and the terms of use are forward thinking. The API capabilities give us access to the data we need and the terms allow us the flexibility we need to create an engaging and rewarding experience.
- Steam Marketplace – The Steam Marketplace creates a single unified location where PUBG players can purchase PUBG in-game items. This is a big deal. Instead of worrying about in-game currencies that are locked to specific regions, GGB players can use a Steam Wallet code from the Buzz store to purchase anything globally. The benefits of a unified global marketplace are obvious.
- Extensibility via the Steam API – Steam is one of the largest gaming marketplaces/hubs in the world and it is integrated with a very wide variety of titles. The API implementation required for PUBG missions would also be required for future Steam titles (if we decided to support them) thus decreasing overall workload and time to live.
We will announce the official launch date for the PUBG mission system in the coming weeks. The announcement will include an application for the closed alpha test that grants Buzz rewards for participation so stay tuned!

North Carolina hurricanes
The list of North Carolina hurricanes includes 413 known tropical or subtropical cyclones that have affected the U.S. state of North Carolina. Due to its location, many hurricanes have hit the state directly, and numerous hurricanes have passed near or through North Carolina in its history; the state is ranked fourth, after Florida, Texas, and Louisiana, in the number of cyclones that produced hurricane-force winds in a U.S. state. Hurricanes in North Carolina history are responsible for over $11 billion in damage (2008 USD) and almost 1,000 total fatalities.
As to statistical hurricane research between 1883 and 1996 by the North Carolina State Climatology Office, a tropical cyclone makes landfall along the coastline about once every four years. An estimated 17.5 percent of all North Atlantic tropical cyclones have affected the state. Additionally, the remnants of a few Pacific tropical cyclones struck the state. Cape Hatteras is most affected by storms within the state, though Cape Lookout and Cape Fear are also regularly affected; the increased activity in three areas is because it protrudes from elsewhere along the Atlantic coastline. After Southern Florida, Cape Hatteras has the lowest return period, or the frequency at which a certain intensity or category of hurricane can be expected within 86 mi (139 km) of a given location, in the country. As the Outer Banks are a narrow strip of low-lying land, hurricanes occasionally leave portions of the land partially or fully submerged. Additionally, the remnants of inland tropical cyclones have produced flooding and landslides in the state's western region.
Tropical cyclones have affected North Carolina in every month between May and December; about 35 percent of the storms struck the state in September, and 80 percent affected the state between August and October, which coincides with the peak of the hurricane season. The earliest storm to affect the state was Subtropical Storm Andrea on May 7, 2007, and the latest was a tropical storm that moved across the Outer Banks on December 2, 1925. The strongest storm to strike the state was Hurricane Hazel on October 15, 1954, which made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane on the Saffir–Simpson Hurricane Scale.
North Carolina hurricanes before 1900 encompasses 139 tropical cyclones that affected the U.S. state of North Carolina. Collectively, cyclones in North Carolina during the time period resulted in over 775 direct fatalities during the period. Seven cyclones affected the state in the 1893 season, which was the year with the most tropical cyclones devastating the state during the time period. From the beginning of the official Atlantic hurricane record in 1851 to 1899, there were 12 years without a known tropical cyclone affecting the state.
Historical data prior to 1700 is sparse due to lack of significant European settlements along the coastline; the few storms listed are largely records from Roanoke Colony and later the Province of Carolina. Modern meteorologists believe early storms were tropical cyclones, though due to the time period confirmation is impossible. One theory explaining the disappearance of Roanoke Colony suggests a hurricane destroyed the village, though there is no evidence to prove the theory. It is considered unlikely due to lack of damage to a fence around the village, on which the villagers left an inscription.
Between 1900 and 1949, 75 tropical cyclones or their remnants affected the state. Collectively, cyclones in North Carolina during that time period resulted in 53 total fatalities during the period, as well as about $328 million in damage (2008 USD). Tropical cyclone affected the state in all but nine seasons. In the 1916 season, five storms affected the state, which was the season with the most storms devastating the state. The strongest hurricanes to affect the state during the time period were the 1933 Outer Banks hurricane and the 1944 Great Atlantic Hurricane, which produced winds of Category 3 status on the Saffir–Simpson Hurricane Scale within the state. The 1933 Outer Banks hurricane was the deadliest hurricane in the state during the time period, which killed 21 people. The remnants of a hurricane in 1940 dropped heavy rainfall in the state, which caused over $150 million in damage (2008 USD) from flooding and landslides.
A total of 79 tropical or subtropical cyclones affected North Carolina between 1950 and 1979. Collectively, cyclones during the time period resulted in 37 total fatalities during the period, as well as about $3 billion in damage (2008 USD). A cyclone affected the state in every year during the time period, and in three seasons a total of five cyclones assailed the state. The strongest hurricane to hit the state during the time period was Hurricane Hazel, which struck the state as a Category 4 hurricane on the Saffir–Simpson Hurricane Scale. Hazel was both the costliest and deadliest cyclone during the period, causing over $1 billion in damage (2008 USD) and 19 deaths. Most storms affected the state in September, though cyclones lashed the state between May and October.
The period from 1980 to the present encompasses 120 tropical or subtropical cyclones that affected the state. Collectively, cyclones in North Carolina during the time period resulted in over $10 billion in damage (2010 USD), primarily from hurricanes Fran and Floyd. Additionally, tropical cyclones in North Carolina were responsible for 77 direct fatalities and at least 44 indirect casualties during the period. Eight cyclones affected the state in the 1985 season, which was the year with the most tropical cyclones striking the state. Every year included at least one tropical cyclone affecting the state.
The strongest hurricane to hit the state during the time period was Hurricane Fran in 1996, which struck near Wilmington as a Category 3 hurricane on the Saffir–Simpson Hurricane Scale; Hurricane Emily in 1993 brushed the Outer Banks also as a Category 3 hurricane. The deadliest hurricane during the period was Hurricane Floyd in 1999, which caused 35 fatalities and record–breaking flooding in the eastern portion of the state. Hurricane Irene Hit the Outer banks on August 27th 2011 as a Category 1, making it the first of its kind to make landfall since Hurricane Ike in 2008.

CASP 2020 - Interview with Wild Voices Music Theatre (Gunning)17.05.2019
The Country Arts and Support Program (CASP) is an annual small grants program administered by Regional Arts NSW on behalf of Create NSW, to support community arts and cultural development in regional NSW.
As we approach the opening date for CASP 2020 applications, we talk to previous CASP recipients to see how these small grants benefited their projects and communities at large.
Applications for CASP 2020 open at 12pm on Friday 24 May. Prospective applicants must get in touch with their RADO before applying.
Wild Voices Music Theatre
Please provide a brief bio for Wild Voices Music Theatre
Wild Voices Music Theatre creates and present events and activities that holistically integrate voice, body, text and music. WVMT is committed to helping build a thriving professional performing arts industry in the ACT and Southern NSW region. We are doing this by working across artforms, by collaborating with a range of professional artists and organisations, and by providing high quality holistic, practical and affordable skills-based arts training and mentorship. Central to our work is a dedication to 'the art of voice'.
The Artistic Director of WVMT is Dianna Nixon, who is a graduate of the Victorian College of the Arts, and has built a multidisciplinary practice over 40 years integrating her skills as pianist, singer, actor, director and producer. In 2012, Dianna was awarded a Churchill Fellowship for her work with The Developing Voice. Dianna has directed and produced more than 60 events, is an accompanist, actor and singer. She also works as voice coach – completing many theatre, music theatre, opera, choral, recording and film projects, and runs a voice & piano studio. In 2018, Dianna was awarded the CAPO Canberra Weekly Award, which will help with costs to attend a major international voice conference in London this August. Current projects include activities at The Street Theatre, National Gallery of Australia, and development of a project exploring Millicent Armstrong – playwright and farmer.
Tell us more about the project you received CASP funding for.
We are developing a unique project tailored for regional touring – "An Italian Country Afternoon". During the CASP-funded stage of the project, we have created the 'look' of the project, including for marketing materials, and we are developing the production elements, composing violin parts and tailoring musical accompaniments, as well as undertaking background research and creating written materials to support and enhance the concert experience.
The performances centre on the entire set of the much-loved "26 Italian Songs". Our goal is to create a fresh concert experience that is ideal for a country afternoon or evening performance, with scope for the local presenters to put on afternoon tea, or a glass of wine, to encourage social interaction and engagement. We will invite a young singer-in-training, from each region we visit, to sing one of the Italian songs as a solo with us. They will rehearse with Dianna Nixon (on piano) just prior to the event (or even ahead of time via Zoom teleconference).
This CASP-funded project is now due to finish by end of July. There will be a showing of the work at the Hume Conservatorium in Goulburn on Sunday 28th July at 4pm. The first of our regional performances will be at 2pm on Sept 15th 2019 at the Gunning Courtroom, hosted by the Gunning Focus Group.
We plan to tour the work all over regional NSW over time, and hope the project has a long life.
How did receiving CASP funding benefit you/your project? Were there any longer term benefits?
The funding has given us the ability to invest time in developing the concert format and style, to be ready with marketing materials that give a strong sense of the project to prospective presenters, and to inform the project with quality research and materials that will add to the experience the audience will have on the day. We are all established artists, but we really appreciate the added value we can give to this project thanks to the CASP funding. It means we can create something that we can package up for festivals, small regional presenters, and local celebrations. It means we can create something that can be viable, which means it will have a longer life, and a greater reach. It may also provide a model for other activities made on a similar scale, for a similar audience.
Any advice for future applicants?
Have a good chat to STArts when you have your brainwave about a project. If you are not incorporated, look for a highly professional arts organisation to provide auspicing for your application. Think about how you can add value to a project with this injection of support. Think about what stage of a larger project this funding might be able to support, which may mean that, over time, the larger project will have more chance of getting up.

Pictures of refugee camps, of crowded tents, and welcome scenes at stations: The summer 2015 was a historic moment for Germany. Never before so many people who have fled war and terror seeked asylum in Germany. "Helpers and supporters, no matter whether they are volunteers or full-time staff, are working under heavy pressure, while being hardly prepared for it", says Wolf Paschen, a social worker himself and program manager at the Professional School.
New Certificate Programme at the Professional School
Since autumn, Paschen has thus been defining the curricula for a custom-tailored, part-time certificate program starting in the spring of 2016. On the one hand, the certificate course "migration management" will allow helpers to professionalise. One the other hand, the certificate offers to employers who need to create jobs to meet the challenges brought along in regard to refugees, asylum and migration increasingly a chance to distinguish well-trained from untrained staff.
Extra-Occupational Training
The course consists of three parts: a preparatory course for newcomers from other professions than the social sector, a module on legal and intercultural environment, and a module for personal action skills. "It was important to keep the certificate as open as possible", emphasises Prof. Dr. Jörg Philipp Terhechte, head of the Professional School, "as not only social workers and pedagogues are involved handling the massive migration to Germany. For prospective students with no previous knowledge in the field of social work, there is the preliminary course that explains the foundations of the social system in Germany. "
Seven Weekends In Six Months
The first module provides the legal and intercultural framework of migration, including the essential legal foundations, socio-economic framework data, and their consequences and integration concepts.
The second module deals with individual action competencies such as project, networking and conflict management. The course also puts emphasis supporting students in handling their work emotionally and psychologically, and how to deal itself with the new challenges.
Overall, the certificate programme includes seven weekend events spread over six months. The preparatory course consists of two events. The tuition fees are 1,500 euro plus 330 euro semester fee. The fee for the preliminary course is 500 euro. Applications for this newly designed qualification course are open now.

Denims have become our go-to garment—a wardrobe staple for both men and women. It's that one piece of clothing that has managed to remain relevant in this rapidly changing world of fast fashion. What began as a rough-and-tough attire suitable for labourers in the 18th century, has now become a style statement, fit for all seasons and occasions.
But denim's tryst with the Indian market has been full of ups and downs. In the initial days, the contribution of India to the denim business was the indigo dye, which comes from an exotic plant species in India. Samresh Das, design manager at Numero Uno, a leading denim brand, traces the evolution of this market in the past couple of decades. "Denim has become a must-have product now. Over a period of time, it has become versatile in terms of its wearability. There was a time when chinos (cotton trousers) ruled over denim, but they lost the competition to jeans. With massive technological revolution in denim fabric and laundry, today a pair of denims can look classy with a bit of sheen, feel supple to give you a feather-touch feel, can look rugged but be super flexible, can be like knits and still look and wash like denim. Today we see a variety of denims and indigo-based products, which can be seen as office wear, casual wear, street wear, bikers wear, party wear, active wear etc.," he says.
While jeans were gaining popularity in the West, thanks to Hollywood stars donning them and pop culture embracing the trend, very few people in India had access to the garment in its early days. In the late 19th century, people started getting their jeans stitched to keep up with this trend.
But what has led to the rapidly growing demand? Ashish Gurnani, co-founder of Postfold, an Indian clothing brand, explains, "It is due to the fact that denims are comfortable, functional and easy to maintain—three things which are crucial for a price-sensitive economy like ours."
This paved the way for global denim manufacturers to invest in the Indian market. In its nascent stage, denim production here was focused on exports as denim products of those times were in sharp contrast to our traditional wear. The acceptance and eventually the spike in domestic demand came about gradually. Today, women have a slew of choices when it comes to owning denims—from jeans, jackets, jumpsuits, dungarees, shirts, shorts and skirts to kurtis and saris.
In fact, India houses one of the largest denim producers in the world—Arvind Mills, which has been catering to worldwide demand of jeans. About the market today, Gurnani says, "The tier-I cities take the lead for the demand and consumption but tier-II, tier-III and even rural areas are gradually joining the league. In fact, tier-II and tier-III cities account for a huge chunk of the demand via unbranded denims."
Over the last half century, we have witnessed the transformation of this garment globally. Starting with bleached, printed and acid-washed jeans, the fashion industry went on to experiment various add-ons for an edgy flare. These include embroidery and embellishments like laces, motifs and patchwork. Creativity and technology resulted in different periods of jeans styles—like bell-bottoms, boot-cut, wide-cuffs, coloured, skinny, distressed and ripped jeans. The invention of stretchable jeans was another step towards making this garment hugely popular. If denim trends have changed over time, the market, too, has certainly grown exponentially.
Shreyasi Pathak, stylist at Vajor, a clothing brand, shares her views on the qualities of the fabric. She says, "The fabric as we know it was brought to life due to its durability, the roughness that it endured, the fact that it was low maintenance and did not need to be washed so frequently and lasted days having the fit without looking worn-out. A lot of these factors have been maintained over the years with definite advancement in the denim fabric that is now being produced, along with a play in textures, quality, durability, washes, stretchiness of the fabric and so on. Denim is a trend that is nowhere getting lost anytime soon."
The credit for denim staying in vogue in India goes to the dedicated set of makers and consumers. In recent days, new fusion styles have emerged. It's cool now to pair denim waistcoats or jeans with kurtis. Even full-fledged denim saris are gaining popularity. Indian designers and brands have created a space to play with the fabric not only in terms of design and style, but also in terms of experimentation. One designer is launching a line of khadi jeans.
The denim era has graced us with products that are not limited to apparel, in the form of bags and shoes. From the days of ruggedness, denims have certainly come a long way. With more and more brands joining the race and designers incorporating this fashion essential in their collection, the denim industry is expected to reign in the coming years as well.
Das from Numero Uno concludes with his views on the current state and future of the denim sector. He says, "There are many big players in the textile industry who are running successfully, but are now foraying into the denim business. The vast usage and acceptance have increased the requirement of raw material and so an increase in the industry size substantially. Not being restricted anymore, manufacturers have also gotten into importing fabrics from different parts of the world according to their need and vision. So the industry is going strong and will be stronger in future."

Embedding is good, clean fun
April 5, 2003
So, we've got reporters "embedded" with the army people, which isn't anything like it sounds.
"Embedded" means they get to hang out with the troops, get shot at, eat the same lousy food, get hit in the face by dust storms, wear gas masks, and do all that other fun stuff.
In exchange for these wonderful pleasures, the military has said the embedded reporters are on their own if they get separated from the military or get shot at.
Sounds like a good deal, right?
Unless you're a really stupid journalist, like Geraldo Rivera or Peter Arnett and one day just lose your mind and tell the bad guys stuff they shouldn't know. Then they kick you out of the Army and out of the news biz.
Which you would deserve.

Anyway, if this embedding gets popular, it will spread out to other areas, where us reporters will get right in there with real life and report how terrible it is.
– Embedding with The City Water Department: "Here we are, hiding out with the Greeley Lawn Cops as they stake out a house that has been watering the lawn in spite of city regulations. This is dangerous work, because you could get REALLY WET if you aren't careful and … omigosh! The homeowner has just made a dash for the water spigot to try to turn off his water and destroy the evidence! The Lawn SWAT Team closes in and grabs him before he reaches the deadly hose and … yes! They've got him in handcuffs and are hauling him away! This is Geraldo Smith reporting from the evil darkness of illegal lawn watering in Greeley."
– Embedding with The Stampede Committee: "Hello, cowboy fans. We're out here at Island Grove Regional Park right now, in the midst of the rodeo and bulls and horses and strange carnival people. If that's not bad enough, we've been forced to wear the Official Stampede Costume IN PUBLIC, which includes pointy, gold-colored boots, a turquoise shirt with fringes on the sleeves, purple pants and a big white hat. This is terrible, but your reporter will tough it out and stay on the scene to tell you the true inside story of this group."
– Embedding with Major League Baseball: "Viewers, we're sitting here in the dugout today, while the Rockies lose another game, 18-3 in which the other team was so challenged, they fell asleep twice. But this is a difficult time for baseball players, because they have to go through this terrible work while making an average of only $2 million per year. Oh, excuse me, the champagne and lobster lunch has arrived …"
– Embedding with Farmers: You start your day at 4 a.m., doing chores, such as milking the cows and shoveling stuff. You work all day long, hard work, shoveling and lifting and throwing horses around and stuff like that, and when it finally gets dark, you can stop. Then you go in the house and sit down and send a letter to the Feds, telling them you put in a full day's work, and you're sending them $100 for the privilege. Next day, do it again.
– Embedding with The Elite Republican Guard in Iraq: "Run! Run! Run! Hide! Get over there behind that lady with the kids! Run! Run! Run! Hide! Wave the white flag! Give Up!"
Now tell the world you're winning the war.

The Record Of Unusual Creatures Chapter 1396
Hao Ren took the shopping list that Vivian gave him and headed to the market with Lily and Lorissa following suit. As usual, Lily's eyes busily darted about her surroundings the whole time. Lorissa had shapeshifted into a human, and the sight of an earthling's daily life aroused curiosity in the cloned mage empress. Unlike Lily, Lorissa was more restraint. She observed quietly. Everything seemed to be new to her.
Hao Ren looked back at the two, feeling a little funny. He asked Lily, "Didn't you want to counsel Beanbag?"
"Don't worry about it. That guy has been out on the street for half a month anyway," Lily said while waving her hand. "It's not like Lorrisa can come to Earth very often. I should accompany her shopping."
"You mean you want to go shopping." Hao Ren could not help but shoot the husky a sideways glance. As the saying went, walking your dog was part of the responsibility that came with keeping a dog. All the more so when it was a husky. Instead of shopping, Hao Ren began to feel that he was walking the dog now. "Lorissa, how do you feel about shopping on Earth for the first time?"
"It's very lively, but it is not as much as I have imagined," Lorissa said. "I was shocked when I heard that there were seven billion people on this planet. I thought it would be packed like sardines in this place. But it looks not much different from the royal city of Holletta."
"It is true that there are seven billion people on this planet, but not all of them stay in one place. Here where I live in is a suburb. The population here is not comparable to the city. The next time I take you to the city center, you will know what overpopulation means."
"Overpopulation? What a surprise to hear you talking about it here," Lorissa said. There was a sudden sense of sadness on her face. "During the heyday of the Magic Empire, we had nearly ten billion people on the planet. Our city rose into the sky and expanded to the bottom of the sea, but it could never catch up with the increase in population. So we built a colony on the moon. Everyone felt that our expansion was unstoppable and would soon go interstellar. But... sigh."
Hearing the sigh of Lorissa, Lily's eyes brightened up. She wrapped her arm around Lorissa's shoulder and said, "Hey, it seems that we have something in common here."
"Something in common?" Lorissa was puzzled looking at the husky. "You are also a queen?"
"I was also an empress!" Lily sounded particularly happy. "I was the leader of the demon hunters in my previous life, and you were an elven queen. So both of us were the first empresses. You are the clone of the elven queen, but you inherit her memory, so it is still the same."
Lorissa was dumbstruck.
Lily began to lament, "Sigh, I have had my pinnacle in life. During my time as the leader of the demon hunters, life was hard, but at least we were unlike other races that did nothing but fight. We lived around the Arctic Circle, stayed aloof of this world and managed to survive. Later, we acquired our territory, Coldpath. We had land, a roof over our heads, and unlimited energy supply. We thought that the demon hunters were at the height of our civilization. But the unexpected happened... sigh."
"There went my throne." The two maidens sighed in unison.
Hao Ren felt goosebumps all over his skin. "What is the matter with both of you? I can understand why Lorissa lamented about her past, but you, Lily, did you not lose your memory of your previous life?"
"Did I not tell you that I have recovered some pieces of my previous life's memory?" Lily said matter-of-factly. "Let me tell you, Mr. Landlord. I sometimes dreamed of the royal court. Do you know how awesome I was in the past?"
But seeing Hao Ren's face that looked like saying "you are bluffing," Lily was piqued. "Forget it, mortal like you would not understand what I say. –Lorissa, tell me about your experience as a queen."
Lorissa shook her head helplessly. "Experience as a queen? That is not my experience. I am just a clone. The memories that I inherited are not mine, and they are confusing at times. My memory was all about experiments and taking orders from others, including the real elven queen. Clone One, do this; and Clone One, do that. They would not even call my name, because even that name is not mine. Sometimes I feel like schizophrenic. Half of me is the elven queen—I have her memory and personality. But this part seems like the books in the library. It stays on the shelves lifelessly. I occasionally flipped through them as if I were looking at a stranger from the indifferent perspective of a third-party. The other half of me is a clone, who used to take orders from others, has never thought of where I come from, nor what is the purpose of my life. I thought that it was useless to even think about these things."
Lily began to feel sad for Lorrissa. "Oh, so sad."
"Is it?" Lorissa could not care less. "I don't feel it at all. My life has been like that ever since I have memories. Maybe it is not a good life in your perspective. Anyway, it is the past; no one is giving me order or determining what I should do tomorrow. I am trying to learn to arrange my own life now, and it feels good."
A question suddenly crossed Hao Ren's mind. "Lorissa, how old do you think you are now?"
"One and a half years old. Why?"
Hao Ren was flabbergasted.
Even Lily was stupified. "What? What is wrong with me being one and a half years old?" Lorissa asked.
It took Hao Ren a long while before he could utter, "There is nothing wrong with it. After all, your time has stood still for ten thousand years. But still, you do not look like you are one and a half years old."
Lorissa looked down at her body and then looked up helplessly. "I can't help it. I was born this way."
"All right, I will take it as one and a half years old," Hao Ren said while waving his hand helplessly. "You will have to call Lil Pea your elder sister though."
Lorissa was startled. She had never thought about this problem before. "So I am the youngest around here?"
"Not really." Hao Ren waved his hand. "There is still one guy younger than you."
"Even younger than me?" Lorissa was shocked. "Is that fish not young enough?"
"Noobie will only attain one year old in a few months. I thought my house was a kindergarten at first. but now, I realize that it is actually a nursery."
Lorissa and Lily were stupefied.
So the three of them chatted as they walked. After spending half a day at the market hunting for the stuff that Vivian needed, Hao Ren only realized that it was a long list of items. He felt like he could almost open a fruits and vegetable store and need not to have to come back again for the entire month with all the things he had bought. Lily was carrying two large bags and babbled, "I do not think Battie will even use half of what we bought. The cunning bat must be tricking us into buying the entire month' worth of grocery."
Hao Ren was also hauling two bags of stuff. But he did not complain. "If that is really the case, you should be happy instead. It means you can start eating when you go back."Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.
It worked for the husky, who began to feel everything make sense and complained no more.
"Do you not have a dimensional pocket? Why do we have to lug the things around like ordinary people?" Lorissa asked curiously. "I also heard you bargaining with the vendors. Are you not a pope?"
"It is called life. Do you know what life is?" Hao Ren looked at Lorissa, his tone of voice sounded particularly imperious. "You have to learn to enjoy life. Otherwise, you will miss many things in life. I spend over two hundred days a year blowing up things... err, I mean carrying out missions. It feels good to be at home. Sometimes, I even think that going out to pay my utility bills is a pleasure. Do you understand what I say?"
"Nope," Lorissa replied, shaking her head. "I am only one and a half years old."
Hao Ren was stupified.
It does not help to tell people that you are only one and a half years old while you clearly have an adult face, Hao Ren said to himself.
Vivian quickly came up and took the grocery from Hao Ren and Lily as soon as the three of them stepped into the doorway. "Thank you very much. It has been a long day. I did not expect it to be this many. Hao Ren, you should have let Lily carry all the stuff. She has strong arms."
"I wanted to, but she bites," Hao Ren mumbled.
"Bah, she consumes the most when it comes to eating," Vivian said, twitching her mouth. She then summoned a group of bats to lug those things into the kitchen. Lily suddenly jumped up. "Mr. Landlord, do you see that? She really moves the stuff into the kitchen!" Lily said.
"If not, where should we store those things? Your room?" Hao Ren asked, rolling his eyes.
Lily thought for a moment and said, "Sounds good!"
Hao Ren was speechless.

Creating common NGO security terminology: A comparative study
This text is a revised version of a project conducted by Anna Dick at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. One of the hurdles to improving NGO security is that there are no commonly-accepted definitions for security terms. This impedes incident reporting and makes security management more difficult.The project reviews security terminology as it is used in NGO security documents; it provides a methodology for reviewing the terms, and offers proposed definitions for common security terms. The primary goal of this project is to offer proposed definitions for security terms. The intention is that these will serve as a further step in the discussion within the NGO security sector about the terms. The ultimate goal is that standardized definitions agreed upon by the NGO security community will be determined and will improve communication and understanding about security.
