My dad is a writer. So I never really felt like home anywhere. Every house we move into, every room I settle in, I know already that we are gonna move away sooner or later. I stopped decorating my room and putting up posters after some time. So, after one such move, I was there again in this new school, paying the new-girl card.
When Mrs.Daniel walked in, she immediately spotted me and gave an encouraging smile. I really don't need it very much now, I'm used to this. But sill, I appreciate her gesture. She introduced me to the class and dint do the usual "tell the whole class about yourself" thing – which I'm very grateful for. Not that it made me nervous, I'm sick of making and leaving friends. No one stays. No one keeps in touch after you leave.
Before she began the class, we had the roll-call. The girl before me is Leela. She seems busy and not too bothered about the new girl and I'm fine with that. Next to me is a girl named Meghna. I slightly leaned in my seat to get a better look at her, and was surprised to find her smiling and waving at me enthusiastically. I mouthed a small hi.
A couple of minutes later a paper ball landed on my desk, with a smiley face and a –M. I looked back at her and she nodded yes. It was from her. My first note in this school. It said :
Hi ! This is Meghna. Since Mr.Arvind likes to form lab-partners for chem with adjacent roll numbers, you'll be my partner.
My number is 9856388902. My facebook name is Meghna Krish. Twitter and instagram id are the same : iammeghnakrish. Whatsapp me, so I can save your number.
Meet me at lunch near the sandwich counter, long table. C U soon! 🙂
Well, that was quick. She was my best-friend for the rest of the 3 years I studied there. Then we applied to the same college but ended up with different courses. But we were room-mates none the less and she was my maid of honor.
Sometimes you look at a person, and you know they are gonna be with you #together no matter what. Life is not always easy, it throws tantrums. But there are always better things out there. When the moment is right, it will land straight at you. Only if you are willing to let go of your dependencies and fear. When things go wrong and you stumble, just relax, take a step back and think. There is always something you could do to fix – always. Finding it might not always be easier; heck, finding a best-friend who stays by your side is not always easier. But when you know the fact that the possibility is just around the corner, it will help you face things with much more clarity.
Good luck 🙂

TRANS-ATLANTIC PUBLIC ECONOMICS SEMINAR: Public Policy and Retirement Behavior
The conference will focus on positive and normative studies of public policies that affect retirement behavior, including Social Security, Medical Insurance, Unemployment Insurance and Disability Insurance programs. These programs constitute a large and growing share of government expenditures, and can have major impacts on macroeconomic performance as well as on individual behavior, including in particular the age of retirement and savings rates. The relative tax treatment of the retired vs. the working population can also have important economic effects, as can the incentives created by occupational pensions. The efficiency and distributional effects of these policies can depend on the proposed explanation for the frequently observed low savings rates prior to retirement and the steady drop in retirement ages in spite of increasing longevity.

Since the middle of last year, the dollar has appreciated by around 10% compared with a broad basket of currencies (see the first graph).1 A large part of its strength comes from monetary policy that is comparatively more restrictive in the US than in other regions in the world given the United States' better growth prospects. Nevertheless, this strong appreciation of the dollar has aroused some concern regarding its potentially harmful effect on US exports and consequently on economic growth.
In the medium term, an appreciation in the exchange rate leads to a decrease in exports (because they are less attractive in price terms) and to an increase in imports (for the opposite reason), in turn reducing GDP growth. For example, according to the FRB/US general equilibrium model employed by the Federal Reserve (Fed) for forecasting and the analysis of macroeconomic issues a 10% appreciation in the dollar cuts growth by 0.5 pps after four quarters and by 0.75 pps after the second year.
Although the model used by the Fed is sound, it is notable that members of its own Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) have recently stressed they expect the effect of the exchange rate on GDP growth to be less than on previous occasions. A variety of factors could lead to the dollar having less impact on economic growth. These include the change in the country's type of exports, which are technologically more advanced and therefore less sensitive to price changes, for example; or exports that are more thoroughly integrated within global value chains and therefore less affected by the dollar's appreciation thanks to imports of cheaper intermediate inputs.
Whatever the reason, a simple exercise confirms that the view of the FOMC members is well-founded and that, in fact, this change in the sensitivity of exports to the exchange rate seems to be considerable in quantitative terms. This can be seen in the second graph which relates the change in exports of goods and services with the change in the exchange rate over two different time periods: 2011-2014 and 1970-2010. To estimate this relationship, other key factors affecting the trend in exports are also taken into account, such as global demand (via GDP growth in OECD countries). As can be observed, not only have exports become less sensitive to the exchange rate but their sensitivity has almost halved.2
In short, although the dollar's appreciation is due to a relatively more restrictive monetary policy, it also reflects the greater advances in economic activity and better prospects for the US than other regions such as Japan and the euro area. Although the loss of competitiveness resulting from such an appreciation reduces growth in the medium term, the recent decrease in the sensitivity of US exports to its exchange rate will lessen this effect on the economy.
1. According to BIS data, in nominal effective terms there has been an appreciation of between 11% and 14%, depending on whether a more or less extensive basket of currencies is used, respectively. In real effective terms (i.e. controlling inflation differences in various countries), it has appreciated by almost 10%.
2. The change in sensitivity of exports to the exchange rate is statistically significant.

Classify triangle PQO by its sides. Then determine if the triangle is a right triangle. The points of the triangle are: P (-1, 2), Q (6,3), and O (0, 0)
The first step is to use the Distance Formula to determine the side lengths. The Distance Formula is: $$ \sqrt{( x_{2} - x_{1})^2 + {(y_{2} - y_{1})^2}} $$ OP = $$ \sqrt{(-1 -0)^2 + {(2 - 0)^2}} $$ = $$ \sqrt5 $$ = approx. 2.2 OQ = $$ \sqrt{(6 - 0)^2 + {(3 - 0)^2}} $$ = $$ \sqrt45 $$ = approx. 6.7 PQ = $$ \sqrt{(6 - (-1))^2 + {(3 - 2)^2}} $$ = $$ \sqrt50 $$ = approx 7.1 Next, check for right angles. The slope of line OP is (2-0) ÷ (-1 - 0) = -2 The slope of line OQ is (3 - 0) ÷ (6 - 0) = 1/2 The product of the slopes is -2(1/2) = -1 So line OP and line OQ are perpendicular. Thus angle POQ is a right angle. Therefore, Triangle POQ is a right scalene triangle.
Subject: Pre-Algebra
A flagpole is 40 feet tall. A rope is tied to the top of the flagpole and secured to the ground 9 feet from the base of the flagpole. What is the length of the rope to the nearest foot?
To solve this problem, we must use Pythagorean Theorem which is $$a^2 + b^2 = c^2$$. In the formula, a and b represent the legs of our triangle. In this problem, a is represented by the height of the flagpole, 40; b is represented by the distance the rope is secured from the flagpole, 9. We would substitute the numbers in our formula: $$40^2 + 9^2 = c^2$$. We are now ready to solve for c. Remember to square a number, it means to multiply the number times itself. $$40^2 = 1600 $$. $$ 9^2 = 81$$. When we add the two together, our equation is now $$1681 = c^2$$. We must find the square root of 1681 in order to determine the length of the rope. If you have a calculator, you would use the square root function. C = 41. Thus your answer is the rope needs to be 41 feet long.
Subject: Algebra
The sum of two numbers is 24. Five times the first number minus the second number is 12. What are the two numbers?
When looking at a word problem, the frist step is to look for key words. In this problem, the key words are sum, is, times, and minus. Next, we need to define our variables. We are working with two numbers; so let's make the 1st number x and the 2nd number y. Now we are ready to write our first equation: x + y = 24. We know it should be an addition problem because of our key word, sum. For the second equation, we transfer the words of the second sentence into our equation. Our second equation would be 5x - y = 12. Now we are ready to solve this system of equations. I will use substitution to solve; so I must rearrange my first equation to get y by itself on one side of the equation. To do this, I will subtract x from both sides. This gives me y = 24 -x. I substitute 24-x in place of y in the second equation. My second equation would be 5x - (24-x) = 12. I must distribute the negative to 24-x. Thus the equation becomes 5x -24 + x = 12. I combine like terms next. 6x - 24 = 12. Now I must add 24 to both sides. This leaves 6x = 36. Now I divide both sides by 6 in order to isolate the x. The result is x = 6. I substitute 6 in place of x in my first equation to solve for y. 6 + y = 24. Thus y = 18. My answer would be 6, 18.

Astrid Newton '23 is on the Teen Advisory Board for Miss Heard Media. This is her second post for them, published on March 11, 2019.
When one considers the complete history of the United States, women's voices have only been heard for a fraction of the time that men's have. We have only had the right to vote for less than a century. The women's rights movement is making more progress all the time. However, many of the current government officials are attempting to prevent women having basic control over their bodies and feel safe in this country knowing responsible, moral people are running it. It has been this way for a long time, and many individuals contribute to it, but Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation to the a Supreme Court certainly isn't helping. According to a poll, 63% of women oppose his confirmation to the Supreme Court. The political decisions he will make is undoubtedly going to cause an even further decrease in women's rights for this country.

Trent Alexander-Arnold facing a month on the sidelines
Despite playing the 90 minutes on Saturday tests have revealed a minor ligament issue
Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold after his team's win over Brighton. Photograph: Reuters
Liverpool have suffered another defensive injury setback with Trent Alexander-Arnold facing up to a month on the sidelines with a knee problem.
The 20-year-old sustained an injury during the warm-up at Brighton on Saturday. He was able to play the full 90 minutes of Liverpool's 1-0 win but tests have revealed a minor ligament issue that is likely to rule out the right-back for around four weeks.
Alexander-Arnold's absence represents a serious concern for Jürgen Klopp given the concentration of injuries to right-sided defenders. The Liverpool manager has been without Joe Gomez and Joël Matip for several weeks due to injury, although Matip is back in full training and in consideration for Saturday's home game with Crystal Palace. Gomez is not expected to return until February.
Having allowed Nathaniel Clyne to join Bournemouth on loan this month Klopp's options at right-back are limited. Alexander-Arnold, however, should miss only three or four league games with a four-week lay-off – Palace, Leicester, West Ham United and Bournemouth – and is expected back before the Champions League last-16 first leg tie at home to Bayern Munich.
Georginio Wijnaldum is also struggling with a knee problem following the Brighton victory and, though a doubt for the visit of Roy Hodgson's side on Saturday, is not expected to be out for a prolonged spell.
Dejan Lovren was sidelined against Brighton with a hamstring injury and not expected to feature until Leicester's visit on January 30th.

FET Update: 8dp5dt
Wednesday, November 28, 2018
Hello everyone. I just wanted to provide a quick update of how things are going on 8dp5dt. Today was interesting. While attending an all day meeting, I went to the bathroom on break and noticed that I was spotting. It looked as if I was about to start my cycle. Of course, I panicked as it didn't look like typical implantation bleeding. I contacted my fertility clinic and nurse, but had to return to my meeting and couldn't answer the follow-up calls. When I went back in the bathroom 20 minutes later, nothing.
I am hopeful that it was implantation bleeding and that everything is now well and a sign that the baby (or babies) has settled nicely. There are another 5 days before I know for sure. I've been super tempted to test, but I certainly won't yet.
That being said....keep praying for a sister.

FET: CD18 Transfer Eve
Monday, November 19, 2018
It's the night before my transfer and I'm sitting here with my husband watching him watch football. My right butt check is still protesting the injection I gave myself earlier. I am almost certain there would be a bruise if I actually looked carefully enough.
I'm tired. I'm ready to close my eyes and have a good night sleep before tomorrow's transfer. I've done this before. I know how this is supposed to go. But man...I wish I didn't feel so nervous.
Tomorrow, if God is willing, I will have little passenger(s) resting within my womb at the end of the night. I hope and pray with all of me that this procedure works.
Keep me in your prayers all.

I called the sitter on the way to the house. Bug had the day off from school. The sitter was still with Honeybee and baby A. He was enjoying the day doing what preteens do on a rainy and dreary day. He was sleeping. I told the sitter that I would be picking him up in about ten minutes and for him to be ready.

Weekend Recap: 2018 NC A&T Homecoming (Photo Heavy)-Part I
Hello everyone! I hope you had a fantastic weekend! I definitely did as my husband, his coworker, his coworker's wife (both of whom are without a doubt awesome), and I drove down to Greensboro, North Carolina to attend North Carolina A&T State University's Homecoming. Known among Aggie alumni as #GHOE for Greatest Homecoming on Earth, we drove down on Friday and made our way back yesterday. Guys, it was a great trip.

Skate Night with the Family
Thursday, November 1, 2018
Hi everyone! Last night was a pretty cool night for us. I promise I'd already decided we weren't doing anything. We don't celebrate Halloween and I wasn't too keen on going out, but Honeybee asked if she could be a "pretty purple princess" and S. mentioned at least showing face at the church's skate event and I acquiesced. I'm so glad I did.

How do I open a bank account in Belgium?
What is the first step?
To open a current or checking account ( zichtrekening ), you will need proof of identity such as a passport. Once the account is opened the bank will send you a debit card, probably with the Bancontact/Mister Cash logo. A PIN number may be sent to you separately.
With a current account you are able to carry out all
standard bank transactions in Belgium.
If you want to open a savings account ( spaarrekening ), the bank can give you advice on the different accounts that they have on offer. There are a large number of options available, offering varying returns, usually depending on the period of the savings deposit.
Finally, a very useful way to protect yourself against exchange rate risks is to open an account in a foreign currency US dollars, for example. Remember, though, that it is not a current account and therefore you will not be able to withdraw funds from such foreign-currency accounts.
How do I convert a cheque made out in foreign currency into euros?
You need to visit your branch and pay the cheque into your euro account. This transaction could take several weeks, depending on the type of cheque and the arrangements between the issuing and receiving banks. It is also fairly expensive because, in addition to the payment and exchange costs, forwarding and collection costs are also charged (the receiving bank sends the cheque to the issuing bank for credit), amounting on average to 6. We would advise you to use this process only at the beginning of your stay in Belgium, before setting up international transfers directly into your account.
It is also important to note that travellers cheques cannot be cashed immediately in all banks, and there is a charge involved.

Since he does not have a fleet capable of Sarwanto looking for partner companies fleet service provider. In the end he partnered with Frasindo to become an online taxi driver.
Sarwanto was very glad he was able to join our company and he appeared to be responsible in carrying out his duties, but a few months later he started undisciplined in terms of vehicle rental payments to the company even more so for a few weeks he did not pay it off.
The company's reprimand to him did not give a deterrent effect, then he reluctantly decided to cooperate with him and ask Sarwanto to settle the obligation to pay the rent, but until now he still left a lot of debt to the company, all efforts of the company to contact him have not got the results and at this time still not seen good faith from Sarwanto.

The stage of your leukaemia means how far your chronic leukaemia has developed.
What staging means
When your doctors have all your test results they will know the stage of your chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL).
For CLL staging, doctors look at the number of abnormal white blood cells and whether any lymph nodes or the spleen are enlarged. They also look at whether the production of normal blood cells has been affected.
Your doctor uses the stage of your chronic lymphocytic leukaemia to work out the treatment you will need. There are different ways of staging different types of chronic leukaemia.
If you are looking for information on the stages of chronic myeloid leukaemia, this is the wrong section for you.
Staging chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL)
There are two different staging systems for chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL). These are the Binet staging system and the Rai system. In the UK and Europe doctors use the Binet staging system. The Rai system has 5 stages from 0 to IV. It is used more frequently in the USA, so we haven't discussed it here.
The Binet staging system for CLL has 3 stages:
- stage A – fewer than 3 groups of enlarged lymph nodes (lymphadenopathy) and a high white blood cell count
- stage B – more than 3 groups of enlarged lymph nodes and a high white blood cell count
- stage C – enlarged lymph nodes or spleen, a high white blood cell count, and low red blood cell or platelet counts
In each stage, a group of lymph nodes means lymph nodes in one area of the body, for example, in the neck, underarms or groin. Each area counts as one group even if the nodes on both sides of the body are swollen.
You may have swollen lymph nodes under both your arms and this would count as one group. The spleen also counts as one group of lymph nodes.
The symptoms you might feel can include:
- stage A, the only symptom you are likely to have is enlarged lymph nodes
- stage B, you may feel tired and under the weather, or you may have no symptoms
- stage C, you have low levels of red blood cells (anaemia) and feel tired. You might have signs of abnormal blood clotting, such as nosebleeds, bruising or heavy periods. You may get repeated infections. You might also lose weight and have night sweats

Tzekel-Kan is the main antagonist of the 2000 movie The Road to El Dorado.
While charismatic, comical and influential, Tzekel-Kan is also power-hungry, sadistic and bloodthirsty. He is also scheming and manipulative.
When he first appears in the movie, Tzekel-Kan starts out being a gracious and friendly host, eager to please the "gods". In truth, though, he enjoys human sacrifice. At one point, he tricks Tulio into reintroducing human sacrifice, only to get fired by Miguel. Having discovered that Miguel and Tulio are indeed mortals, Tzekel-Kan plots to destroy them via a massive stone jaguar, leading up to the climax. Miguel and Tulio manage to defeat him, and he ends up outside El Dorado, where he runs into Cortes. Believing Cortes and his soldiers to be the true gods, a vengeful Tzekel-Kan teams up with Cortes to capture the citizens of El Dorado. Unfortunately, Miguel and Tulio manage to block the entrance to El Dorado. Cortes dismisses Tzekel-Kan as a liar, whereupon the latter is captured and presumably sold as a slave.

Study: Online Students Want Interaction, Community
By Rhea Kelly 06/21/17
a new report from Learning House and Aslanian Market Research. For the sixth annual "Online College Students 2017: Comprehensive Data on Demands and Preferences" report, researchers polled 1,500 students who are "seriously considering, currently enrolled in or have recently graduated from a fully online program"
a number of recommendations for helping online programs attract students, including:
- Cater to students' career goals. "Since online students are so career focused, understanding which programs will best educate students for the job market is critical to online program success," the researchers noted;
- Make sure admissions offices provide fast responses to online students, as well as upfront figures on financial aid and transfer credits; and
- Adapt online access to accommodate mobile technology.

| 12°C Belfast
I WOULD like to draw attention to the possibility of a break-up of Scotland if the referendum results in our leaving the UK.
If there is a small majority for independence in September, I wonder whether Glasgow and the west of Scotland will accept that decision? Perhaps people in the west will want to follow Northern Ireland in staying in the UK?
It was recently reported that, in a poll of 2,589 Glasgow University students, 62% voted No and 38% voted Yes to the referendum question. The pro-independence website Wings over Scotland states that "Glasgow is the heart of unionist darkness in Scotland".
Given the rivalry between Glasgow and Edinburgh, it is perhaps inevitable that many Glaswegians see independence as an airy-fairy notion that favours hoity-toity Edinburgh. Independence has already been shown to be potentially bad for business in many ways: for example, shipbuilding could be threatened.
The proximity of the south-west to Northern Ireland means unionism resonates much more with people there than those in the east. It is, therefore, possible that south-west Scotland will fight for the right to remain in the UK. What will then become of an independent Scotland, when an area containing half its population opts to stay in the UK?
If the referendum produces only a narrow majority one way or the other, those on the losing side may have feelings of resentment for years to come.

A diverse country filled with different origins and religions, Indonesia has a good line up of ceremonies and festivals each year. Take a good look at our long list of the best festivals in Indonesia.
A feast for the senses, the Bali Arts Festival is a cultural extravaganza filled with vibrant colours and movement that takes place from mid-June to mid-July. Showcasing the best of Balinese performing arts, you will be dancing along and jumping with the crowd as you are taken over by the energy of each performance at the Taman Werdhi Budhaya Centre in Denpasar. During the festival, the entire complex is brimming with traditional bamboo and coconut leaf decorations and banners.
An annual festival that takes place between July and August, the Bali Kite Festival started of as a means of thanking the gods for an abundant harvest. These days, kite makers show off their skills by filling up the skies above the Padang Galak Beach with kites of all shapes, sizes, and colours.
Not all festivals in Bali are filled with hype and noise. Bali Nyepi day, which is celebrated on the 8th of March, is a silent festival where all island activities stop to make time for self-reflection. The day before this day of silence, however, Bali will be filled with the colour and life of the Ogoh Ogoh Parade. Men in masks will be walking through the streets, representing the spiritual cleansing of Bali.
The Galungan Festival commemorates the victory of good over evil much like the Indian's Diwali celebration. Celebrated from the 26th of December to the 5th of January, the first day of the Galungan celebration is the time when the spirits of ancestors and dead relatives visit the earth and it is on the last day of the festival that they return to the spirit world. During this time, it is quite common to see the roads lined with food and flower offerings in tiny baskets and penjors, bamboo poles with decorative offerings. If you visit a cemetery during this time, you will see the graves decorated with outfits, food, and drinks.
Celebrated by the locals of the Sanur Village, the colourful fashion of the Sanur residents, as well as their long line up of culinary stands, sports competitions, and cultural shows. Ecological conservation groups also use this festival to promote beach cleaning and the replanting of corals through their photography exhibitions and activities. The Sanur festival is held at Pantai Matahari Terbit Sanur in Denpasar from August 22 to 26 of each year.
Rooted in the Balinese concept of Tri Hita Karana, which symbolizes the harmonious relationship between the natural environment, spirituality, and society, the Bali Spirit Festival, which takes place from the 24th to the 31st of March, welcomes various yoga instructors to hold workshops and classes that showcase the different styles of yoga. During this time, the festival grounds are lined with organic food stalls and other health products. Onstage, you will find a showcase of music bands and soloists from all over the world.
A coming of age festival for boys, the Perang Pandan Festival, which takes place on June 8 or June 30, is a time for friendly duels among the men of Tenganan Village. Dressed in their traditional garb and armed with a small rattan shield and a sword made of thorny pandan leaf, they fight each other to the point of exhaustion. After the battle, the scratched participants of this festive battle royale are treated with medicinal herbs and tumeric.
From September 29 to 30, the Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park becomes the stomping ground of music fans who are here to dance and scream to the chorus of the many world-renowned artists that fly to Bali to perform at the Bestival Bali Music Festival.
Which of these festivals have you attended? Share your experience with fellow travelers by commenting below.

Ramblings of a Photographer Bride-to-be
Let me get this clear, wedding IS fun! it's like shooting a whole movie everytime, with all the action, drama, suspense, and of course, the romance 🙂 the color, the vibrance of it all, you get to lose yourself, to the story. Boredom is out of the question, you won't have time for it!
These last few years, my life has only been about weddings. Weekends, I SHOOT weddings. Weekdays, I LAYOUT weddings. That's all there is to it. I quit my fulltime graphic artist job to (1) give myself more breathing space, and (2) to give more ample time on the wedding business… in the end, I forgot the "breathing space" part. WEDDING has been my mantra. I'm in nuptial mode from the moment I wake to the time I hit the sheets (unless a bride rings me up in the middle of the night).
I've been too engrossed with the whole thing that I was sure that when I tie the knot myself there would be no excitement, no suspense for me. But boy, was I wrong, . . . when my best buddy and I decided that it's damn about time to bang the wedding gong, I was at a total loss.
Sure enough, I was excited; sure enough, I was scared. Knowing too much has its disadvantages. You expect too much of your own wedding. MY WEDDING HAS TO BE PERFECT!!! Dang it, I know too much of the matter that I must not fail! As a photographer, it's a total no-no on the strict churches, church must have a good facade, flowers must come on time, food must make an impression, wedding must be shot on the morning, coordinators are a must, no thick make-ups, try on the gown weeks before the wedding, no thick veils, etc.
This is where my blog sets in. I've done some research for my wedding and realized I can't find one site that tackles on wedding venues & wedding budgets in enough detail. I want to share my experiences and insights on these as I can, in a photographer's perspective, that hopefully some b2b's might actually find it helpful.
For me, the biggest priorities for a b2b are your BUDGET and your PICTURES & VIDEO.
Your Budget: You shouldn't obliterate your whole life savings (and loan some more) for this one single day (sure it's important, but you got decades ahead of you). Save some more for your television and sofa. Regardless of how much green you burn, you're signing the same contract anyway.
Pictures&Vid: Okay, so I'm biased. But then again, when all is said and done, what's left for you? When the big day is over, the cake and food eaten, the suppliers paid, the guests come and gone, all that's left in your possession are your memories of that day, and you should put special consideration on these.
So til here, happy reading, and congratulations to your upcoming wedding! 🙂
Since you're here, you can also visit LitzV. Photo-vid packages are as low as 17k. visit www.litzv.com Miao!

From 7pm untill 2am different museums open their doors, so you can enjoy cultural activities and good music. de Merkplaats® is mad about art & culture and is proud to represent many of the participants below and inform you about the activities that our clients have in store for you during Museumnacht Amsterdam.
Museum Het Grachtenhuis® (Herengracht 386) Our client (and good neighbour) Museum Het Grachtenhuis® is being transformed during Museumnacht Amsterdam. The story of the museum is about the history of Amsterdam; from the construction of the city until the chaos now. Together with Dean and the Moonboys you can Rock&Roll during this exciting night. Around 8 the tables are moved aside and it's time to shuffle at the chambers of the museum. Danced enough? and have you always wanted to see Amsterdam by Night from the water? Well, Het Grachtenhuis®, in collaboration with STROMMA, will provide free boat tours to show you Amsterdam at its best.
Embassy of the Free Mind® (Keizersgracht 123) The wisdom of individual thinkers and free spirits is what best describes the collection of the Embassy of the Free Mind®. According to the 2000 old Hermetic wisdom; every human being is wonderful and unique. During Museumnacht Amsterdam you can discover, see, hear and taste. Discover; a treasure hunt through pictures you want to know more about. See; what the Kabbala & Alchemie movement within the European cultural history exactly means. Hear; listen to the poetic songs of singer/songwriter Joëlle and lastly you can go to a alchemistic laboratory provides tasty delightful brewed drinks.
Het Tropenmuseum® (Linnaeusstraat 2) Gender is a hot topic nowadays the Tropenmuseum® has responded to that, with this years theme, 'What a genderful world', where you can be a part of the Gender Experience. This is the place where you can speak freely about your 'gender' experiences in order to expand the 'gender box' thinking. There also will be diverse conversations and interviews about gender and identity with queer BPOC (black people/people of colour) refugees. The dutch hiphop duo LIONSTORM stands up for queer representation and showcases their raw sound during the evening.
Hermitage® (Amstel 51) Did you know that the Hermitage® at the Amstel is a sister museum from the world famous Hermitage at Sint Petersburg? Therefore its theme will revolve around Russia. Excited for an old-fashioned game of Russian bingo, or crazy about Tsarina Catherine the great? The Hermitage® at Museumacht Amsterdam is the place to be. P.s. do you want to look like a royal during Museumnacht? That's also made possible. During the workshop 'shine bright like a czar' you can make your own crown which you can wear strolling around during Museumnacht Amsterdam.
Het Scheepvaartmuseum® (Kattenburgplein 1) Are you looking for a place during Museumnacht Amsterdam where you can find 5000 years of maritime history? Then Het Scheepvaartmuseum® is the right location. From an installation about the sea level rise till Penelope Cruise's Karaoke on Ice and eating vegan junkfood. This location is highly recommended if you want to listen to compelling stories and looking for the biggest dance floor of Museumnacht Amsterdam.

How do organisations support their executives, managers and teams, when handling change and managing stress. Sue Firth is a business psychologist who looks at the relationship between "the way people think and the way they behave", and has brought this into the corporate world.
What are the signs that a business needs to look out for?
- Individuals who don't feel adept at approaching a colleague and knowing how to discuss a subject without causing tension, unrest or conflict.
- Individuals who have a certain amount of persistent unhappiness or disruption in the sense that they take time off or fall ill, perhaps not engaged or delivering and making errors.
- Individuals who's values clash with the business or they are pushy and demanding.
- Individuals who are falling short of expectations – need to find out what the problem is that is stopping them performing and resolve it.
When stress starts to drag an individual down they can become dissatisfied, disengaged or take time off work. This can make a huge impact on the rest of the team who may complain if they are unhappy with holding someone else up. Issues that go on for several months really need to be dealt with.
People still underestimate the effects of stress on their bodies and lives
Stress is part of the business, it's a real thing and it needs to be looked after. This is when we can move into the more proactive term of "resilience" which really has its benefits. When a business is willing to pay attention to the health and wellbeing of its employees, it seems to pay off quite markedly, especially in industries such as the care industry as its predominantly and inherently a stressful place to work.
We know that when we are busy our body produces adrenaline and when we are calm we produce serotonin. We can use these chemicals to understand our feelings and sensations, through four principle states: happy &busy, happy & calm, unhappy & Busy, unhappy & calm. If we learn to understand how we feel when we are in these states we can begin to take different actions.
Cognitive thinking is at the core of handling stress, where you learn what your sources of stress are and your thoughts around those sources at that moment.
For example – if your child is playing up this would be the source of stress but why it troubles you is what you then think about it. The source and cause correlation is a very strong theme in stress management, so a pragmatic toolkit around emotional and physical states, providing strategies and techniques, can be put into practice now.
Relationships between teams members, colleagues, or family members and partners are a key part of resilience, as you can have very toxic relationships or you can have very enabling, nurturing and useful relationships. Make sure that you are not leaning on the very people that may actually be part of the toxic mix that you haven't really appreciated, that are making you stressed in the first place.
There is a huge value in analysing:
- your circumstances
- the support network that you have
- how much those same people contribute to toxic or stressful feelings
Lets face it when you have young children they are as beautiful and hugely fantastic to you as they are draining and tiring – it's a fact of life. It helps a great deal the more aware you become and the more valuable and precious you realise your emotional energy is. If you expend it on everybody and everything then you feel used up and exhausted.
The more stressed you are, the harder it is to ask for help. It's a hugely vulnerable experience to admit to someone that you are not coping so well. If you find yourself not smiling and feeling miserable and don't want to feel like that any more, you may recognise that you may not have all of the answers as to how to pull yourself back up. It will help a lot to talk it through with someone who is nonjudgmental and not involved. An action plan gives you a ladder to pull yourself up. Small steps make the difference. If you try to do it by yourself you may feel overwhelmed.
We can measure blood pressure, cholesterol level, fat in your body, which can indicate how healthy and well we are. But when it comes to stress indicators, we are looking for cortisol measures. These should be in our body at certain times of the day but not all the time. It's difficult to measure but stress related symptoms are likely to be: stomach playing up, not sleeping, troubled mind can, not resolving issues.
Recognising the signs and intervening as early as possible is key. We all go through problems and difficulties in life – problems are normal. Its how you deal with these events that will enable you to come back and thrive.

So the Mets give gifts out of you are full or half season ticket holders. I'm not too sure if the 20 games still get a gift or an event though. I'll look it up later. For this year's gifts the Mets upped their game with a plethora of choices. They had around Darling signed wine, different grill and wine tools. A Mets Fitbit and also some events like BP in cages, salute on the warming track or play catch on the field.
I chose this the Thor Exclusive bobble with fake hair!

Have written something related to gmail and other google related posts on my blog. But i must confess you have a nice writing skill. I wish we could some day guest posts on each others blog.
Am a blogger at Naija Gist too.
Bro, this is true, I even looked at statistics and more than 65 percent of people believe that gmail is much better than other mailbox creation services, but nevertheless, hackers can easily crack it. If you, like my friend, indicate your gmail somewhere, for example, on some forum or when registering on a dubious site, with a high probability, after some time it will be hacked and all information will be stolen. Such a story happened to my friend who accidentally when registering on one landing page, he indicated his main gmail. As a result, it turned out that the administration was selling user data to hackers, who hacked mail and blackmail clients. Therefore, in order not to fall into the clutches of fraudsters, you just need to use temporary emails to register on sites or communicate by mail. Temporary mail at https://yepmail.so will self-destruct after a certain amount of time and all the data on it too. So be on the lookout before handing any information to anyone.

Before they purchased their home – a three-bedroom HDB flat – Kenny Ren and his wife, Ruby Chong, already had an idea of what they wanted it to look like – a lively and eclectic space, filled with designs inspired by their ideas. The renovation for the charming space cost $80,000.
Despite the mix of materials used in the living room, the white walls make the space feel spacious and airy. Vases from Galanga Living.
Creating personal space was important to the homeowners. This nook is where Kenny retreats to have "me-time".
The home sports touches of mint green – from the Smeg fridge, to the tableware – thanks to Ruby's love for the colour. Tableware from Galanga Living.
For a more rustic look, the couple decided to go for Peranakan-style tiles from Soon Bee Huat for the bathroom flooring.
Unconventional metal washbasins in the bathrooms are actually Graslok plant pots from Ikea, which Ruby repurposed to become basins!
The couple removed the home's original doors and replaced them with customised blue ones.

With Recent EPA And DOE Designation, Monarch Waste Poised To Disrupt Multi-Billion Dollar U.S. Medical / Hazardous Waste Market With PyroMed 550™ Pyrolysis Technology
Dallas, TX /PRNewswire/ - Monarch Waste Technologies, LLC, is a medical and hazardous waste disposal company founded in 2015 by David Cardenas and Kevin Yearout. The company, which is based out of Dallas, Texas and Albuquerque, New Mexico, recently announced that its proprietary technology PyroMed 550TM has secured a "Pyrolysis" designation from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Energy. This designation will enable the company to further develop its technology and expand its operations to other locations across the United States.
What is pyrolysis?
Pyrolysis is an endothermic process (i.e., a process that requires or absorbs energy from its surroundings) that relies on an oxygen-depleted environment to bring about the chemical decomposition of waste materials. Because there is no oxygen present, the waste never ignites or combusts but rather slowly decomposes as it absorbs heat.
PyroMed 550 TM
Monarch's PyroMed 550 TM technology harnesses the power of pyrolysis to generate "free" thermal heat. This heat is used to run the unit continually without the need for outside fuel sources. Once in operation, the system is 100% self-sufficient, unlike most other systems which require natural gas or propane. Additionally, excess heat generated by the system is diverted through steam-driven turbines to produce clean energy.
In 2016, prior to commissioning its first unit, Monarch started working closely with the EPA Region 6 and the administrators' office in Washington to determine whether the PyroMed 550TM fit the definition of pyrolysis—not incineration. Extensive testing by Department of Energy (DOE) experts at Sandia National Labs in Albuquerque was performed to validate pyrolysis.
The DOE issued a final report that validated that PyroMed 550TM was pyrolysis and stated, "…Monarch Waste system is consequently anticipated to significantly reduce emissions of harmful atmospheric pollutants compared with incineration…"
Monarch commissioned its first location in 2017 just north of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Although the PyroMed 550 TM is the first technology of its kind in North America, it is based off of waste disposal designs that have successfully operated in two other continents for over 20 years.
Along with its partners in the United Kingdom, Monarch improved the original design to ensure compliance with the EPA's most stringent test conditions and emissions limits (HMIWI Subpart Ec). This testing entailed using the most virulent waste mix possible to prove the system could sustain a "worst-case scenario" emissions. During this testing, PyroMed 550TM achieved 49% cleaner emissions than the EPA's Ec emissions limits and 95% cleaner emissions than the EPA's Subpart EEE limits allowed for hazardous waste combustors. Monarch and its partners now own the intellectual property rights and patents to this EPA-compliant design.
Monarch's PyroMed 550TM offers a solution to the US medical waste issue
In 1995, the EPA inventory for medical waste incinerators listed over 2800 facilities in active operation. Today, there are only eight medical waste incinerators remaining that meet the EPA's standards. Unlike Monarch, however, these other facilities fail to offer a validated, bankable, and most importantly sustainable solution to the increasing volumes of medical waste being produced by the US healthcare industry. As such, hospitals are extremely hard-pressed to find both economical and clean options for disposing their medical waste. Although there are other alternative methods in various stages of testing, none have achieved Monarch's level of governmental validation or years of proven operational success.
After multiple site visits to validate functional aspects of the Santa Fe unit, the EPA issued a final letter to Monarch in June 2019 that stated, "evidence is sufficient […] that the system [PyroMed 550TM] is a pyrolysis unit and produces primarily pyrolysis products, not products of combustion." This letter went on to determine that the unit would not be designated as a hospital, infectious, and medical waste incinerator (HIMWI) by EPA definition. Rather, the EPA has elected to give a special exemption for pyrolysis as outlined within 40 CFR 60 and 62 rulings regarding incineration of hazardous and infectious medical waste. This designation will allow the regulatory permitting process for other locations to be streamlined from both a time and cost perspective.
A company representative said, "Our first goal was to get the facility built and our system operational so we could actually show hospitals it works. Because up to that point, it was all pictures and concepts, with nothing tangible to show for our ideas. Our next goal was to secure governmental validation and testing to lay the path for faster acquisition of permitting.
This process took more time than we anticipated but considering the impact of what we will accomplish from here, it was worth the effort. Now we are focused on market expansion and our timing could not be better given the need for this type of technology across the country…"
With its novel approach of setting up small scale facilities in proximity to where the waste is actually being generated, Monarch has set itself up to be a leader in revolutionizing how the healthcare sector disposes of medical and hazardous waste. Their environmentally friendly PyroMed 500TM system is the future of clean medical waste disposal and is backed by evidence from rigorous testing by both the DOE and the EPA.
The Company representative further added, "… we are in full development and permitting mode at several strategically selected sites that will serve a customer with operations across the entire United States. We are also finalizing negotiations with an existing customer to execute a long-term contract for a new PyroMed 550TM facility that will serve the needs of their large hospital system in the Midwest after their medical waste incinerator was recently decommissioned…"

Last week a friend and I sessioned one of our favorite zones along the Pacific Crest. Perfect conditions allowed us to ski some exciting new lines. At 600 to 800 vertical feet, it hardly qualified as big mountain skiing. However, sustained pitch and secondary exposure combined with mini couloirs and faces to climb and ski made for an exhilarating day of mini-mountaineering.

Hello! I'm tozka. I'm a 30-something librarian in California who really loves fanfiction. Pronouns: they/them.
I've been into various fandom pursuits since I was in elementary school (LARP Sailor Moon with my friends) and fanfic specifically since middle school. I've basically been a lurker the whole time, but a friendly one! And now I'm trying to delurk and actually, like, contribute stuff, which is partly why I've started up this journal.
Back in 2005-2010, I used to be active on LiveJournal. It was great! And then Strikethrough (and Boldthrough) happened, fandom moved away from LJ and Tumblr/Twitter became popular. Around this same time, I graduated college, went job-hunting, and then started grad school– and didn't really have the energy for learning "new" social media sites. Luckily, by this point AO3 popped up, so at least I could find fanfic easily. I've only really been semi-active on Tumblr for like three years, but now it's imploding, which sucks. Coincidentally, I'm graduating from grad school soon, and will have slightly more energy for actively fan-ning (as of December 2018), which lead me to a) start journaling regularly, b) start a fandom Twitter, and c) try out other social media sites. My goal? Make friends! Find new fandoms! Find new fanfic in old fandoms! Have discussions about books and movies and fandom history! etc. etc.
I'm multi-fandom and multi-shipping, and tend to rotate through different "current" fandoms every six-eight months. Here is a non-exhaustive list of fandoms I've enjoyed being in over the last twenty years. I'm counting "being in" as "having deliberately sought out fanfic." Current (as of December 2018) fandoms are bolded. I'm counting "current" as "actively looking for new fanfic to read."
Please note that I read: slash (m/m), femslash (f/f), and gen!
Ace Attorney, An American Werewolf in London/Paris, Angel: The Series, Astreiant, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Captain America (MCU), Check Please!, Community, Daredevil (Netflix), The Dark is Rising (books), DCU Comics, Dead Zone, The Devil Wears Prada, Doctor Who, Dragonball Z, The Dresden Files, The Faculty, Fantastic Beasts, God Eaters, Good Omens, Grantchester, Grimm, Gundam Wing, Hannibal, Harry Potter, Hikaru no Go, The Hobbit, Hornblower, House M.D., Initial D, Inu-Yasha, Jeeves & Wooster, Jurassic Park III, Kingsman, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Leverage, Lord Peter Wimsey, Man from UNCLE, Merlin (BBC), My Hero Academia, Naruto, NCIS, Nightrunner (books), Person of Interest, Pet Shop of Horrors, Pirates of the Caribbean, Queer as Folk (UK), Rurouni Kenshin, Sailor Moon, The Secret Garden, Sherlock, Sherlock Holmes, Smallville, Star Trek (TOS, AOS, DS9), Star Wars, Static Shock, Suits, Supernatural, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Temeraire, Thor (MCU), Transformers, Trigun, Venom, Welcome to Night Vale, White Collar, The Witcher, Yu Yu Hakusho, Yuri!!! On Ice, X-Men (movies & comics).
I'm sure I'm missing some anime fandoms in there. Hm.

A court in Mzuzu has sentenced four criminals to 14 years in jail each for stealing items worth K6 million.
The four are Christopher Adam aged 31, Macdonald Kalonga, 24, Luya Matebule, 24, and Charles Mwale aged 28.
The criminals, in December last year, broke into the Centre for Youth and Development (CYD) building in Mzuzu and went away with laptops, digital cameras and a bicycle, all valued at six million kwacha.
The court heard through state prosecutor Lloyd Magweje that the robbers were armed with panga knives and iron rods and during the robbery they assaulted and tied with ropes watchmen at the centre.
The criminals who are not residents of Mzuzu kept their loot at a house of a friend at Chiputula within Mzuzu.
Police arrested the thugs a week later and it transpired that they are also connected to robbery cases in Zomba, Balaka and Salima districts.
In court, the state paraded eight witnesses including the owner of the house where the stolen laptops were stored at Chiputula.
After the four were convicted, Magweje stressed the need for the four convicts to be given a stiff penalty saying they are enemies of development since they robbed a youth centre that survives on donations.
In their mitigation statements, the four asked for leniency saying they are still youthful and can still contribute to development of the country.
In his judgment, Mzuzu First grade Magistrate Alexander Gomba said the computers that were stolen were donations meant for the youth to develop into responsible citizens and that the robbers' action has the capacity of scaring away donors.
He then sentenced the robbers to 14 years in jail each.
The four were sent to Mzuzu Prison but are likely to be transferred to Zomba Maximum Prison as they wait to answer robbery charges for crimes committed in Zomba, Balaka and Salima.
