A new green spot offers a seat to passersby in the Kmart parking lot at Nicollet & Lake. The pop-up park will soon provide a free coffee hour in the morning and a busking hour at night for musicians. There are plans for yoga, Zumba, child reading hours and a Little Free Library. And more ideas are welcome.
"We really want the community to own the space," said Aryca Myers, associate director of the Lyndale Neighborhood Association (LNA).
Myers said the idea stemmed from elderly and Somali community members who were looking for more green spaces.
"This is the densest part of the neighborhood, and also the least green," Myers said.
Lyndale received a grant for the park from the Center for Prevention at Blue Cross/Blue Shield. Blue Cross offers grants up to $20,000 (paid out of tobacco settlement dollars) for "Active Places Demonstration Projects."
"If you have a great sidewalk it doesn't matter if you don't have anywhere to go," said Sam Rockwell of the Center for Prevention.
The park will remain open through Oct. 4, if not longer.
"People have been really positive, and really curious," Myers said. "If Kmart loves it and the people love it, we might extend it."
While shopping for park furniture, the neighborhood association received a bit of sticker shock ($10,000 for two benches and four planters) so the staff and volunteers made their own. LNA President Robert Dahlstrom designed furniture and assembled the park with LNA Executive Director Brad Bourn and volunteers including Tim Cowdery, Janis Arnold, Yasmin Banishoraka and Sarah Super.
Kmart Manager Dan Lawler said the park is a successful partnership between the company and the neighborhood.
"It is great to see our employees, members, customers, and the community come together and enjoy the fall weather near our store," he said in a statement.
A posted chalkboard will show the park schedule and solicit more ideas for the park.
A low-impact yoga class is slated for Tuesday, Sept. 20 at 6:30 p.m., hosted by the Isha Foundation.

Excellent tune.

I see that Platini is now being questioned about unclear payments. No doubt our lads in the MSM wil have something to say about that. However no one has had the balls to ask Souness about his EBT payment from the oldco and what that related to given he didn't appear to be an employee at the time.
Did they ever clear up the mystery surrounding the £100K David Longmuir bonus that surfaced two years back?

If we're looking at lyrics of The Who songs, I would suggest that "Won't Get Fooled Again" may be more appropriate than "Who Are You" when it comes to the machinations of the Ibrox franchise
You could come up with a multitude of song titles that would so fit what's go on Govan way.
I'm watching Leeds Rhinos' Superleague match at Huddersfield at the moment, and the players came onto the pitch to the strains of Harry J Allstars' The Liquidator.
I know that Chelsea have used that tune at Stamford Bridge for many years, and it got me wondering as to whether any SPFL clubs use it.
I was well impressed that they still use Into the Valley by The Skids at East End Park (the late Stuart Adamson was brought up in Dunfermline).

You would be forgiven for thinking that Warbs had a financial investment in these players,it wouldn't be so,would it!!!
You could also be forgiven for thinking that a large proportion of the SMSM had a financial investment in selfsame players, such is the square footage of guff dedicated to boosting their status within the game. :slamb: 👿 :slamb:

It's nice to see that the BBC is carolling from the SkySports songsheet in the above article.
"OF" mentioned twice and some top level liquidation denial thrown in for good measure.

Any chance of this happening in Scotland?

What do the various Rangers have to show for their loans fundamentally hee haw I believe. Nothing has been done to build potential long term income streams via improved facilities or some other projects. It seems that the assets have declined in value and future fixed costs are likely to rise in the form of deferred maintenance. There may be a baldrickian plan and opportunity available for some rich tax pauchler but I do not know what it is -perhaps some advice should be sought.
I suspect that rather than one of Baldrick's cunning plans, they will go with the tried and tested Earl Haig's underpants over the head and pencils up the nostrils. And we all know how that ended up.
It wasn't the admininistration and liquidation to end all administrations and liquidations though. Deja vu?

Using EBTs incorrectly in order to reduce your tax was never a "loophole" it was classic tax avoidance.
Tax avoidance is not and never has been perfectly acceptable as some people would have you believe. That is tax management.
Tax avoidance is using a legitimate scheme, incorrectly, for a purpose which was never intended.
Investing in an ISA is tax management.
Using an EBT to receive contractual payments is tax avoidance.
That's heading into tax evasion territory.

Would they bring out a special OrangeBull to mark the occasion?
500M potential worldwide customers could generate a huge turnover, and with the club/company/engine room subsidiary getting 1p cashback for every 1,000,000 unit sales of OrangeBull that could solve the funding plan (or is it business plan?) gap almost overnight.
I'm sure Neil Patey would confirm that to be the case.

this sunburnt country
This sunburnt country… …its rivers feed mountains and carry our bloody waste, all the way to the sea. Its trees tell a story of ages gone – they link me to you, and you to all that lies beneath. And the dirt that clings to your soles/souls, both trodden and bare… is a story you carry with you, whether or not you choose to care. And any undoing, that may yet come… is simply a reflection of the damage we've done. In this great lands defence, we waged a war – both bloody and raw… maybe it's time we asked ourselves, what we've been fighting for. You see as the sand below shoulders the great ocean deep, its beauty is framed by a power we cannot keep. And without respect for this great, majestic land… there may be nowhere safe left, for us to stand. Tis a gift you see, from the rainforests to the sea… Tis a thousand lives before ours, that share this greatness, I believe. This is for our brothers, our fathers, our sisters and our mothers. This is for the unsuspecting, the broken, the accepting… It is for those who scream, in tears of rage… and for those who sit and calmly contemplate. For this sky, is no more yours than mine. This ground I stand on, you too stand on, if not now – then in time. This sunburnt country, it's warm inside. And with respect we should nurture and honour its pride.

Gay marriage has been legal in Miami-Dade for three whole days, and hundreds of couples have already tied the knot at the courthouse or in mass weddings like a gathering at Miami Beach Botanical Garden. Of course, many others are waiting to have their storybook shindig, complete with all the trimmings. Plus don't forget the out-of-state couples who can finally plan a legitimate destination wedding in South Florida.
These affairs will undoubtedly be as diverse as Miami-Dade's LGBT population, but just in case you wanted a few extra-Miami touches to your holy union, here's our guide to the perfect gay wedding in the Magic City.
The Bachelor/Bachelorette Party
For Men: There's really only one choice if you're looking for the typical night of bachelor-party debauchery, and that's the Floppy Rooster, Miami's only all-male, all-nude strip club. Bring lots of ones (and a lot more if you want a lap dance).
For Ladies: I asked around about which strip clubs are most lesbian-friendly and was met with combinations of "Uh..." and "All of them, if you want them to be." I was then told that lesbian bachelorette parties aren't really a "thing," and that when they are, they aren't that clichéd. Then I was sent this very NSFW cupcake recipe. Sorry, ladies.
The Officiant: RuPaul's Drag Race Ms. Congeniality winner and South Florida's own Latrice Royale just happens to be able to perform weddings -- she was ordained in 2013. Granted, she's traveling the globe as one of the world's most in-demand drag queens, but this is your dream wedding we're talking about, so book early.
The Venue: If you're looking for an old-fashioned church wedding, here are some churches that will honor your same-sex marriage: Trinity Cathedral, Unity on the Bay, Miami Beach Community Church, and the Unitarian Unversalist Congreation of Miami. If you're looking for more secular venues, check our list from all the way back in 2011.
But personally, I prefer the beach, because you can be, in the immortal words of Paris Is Burning, "as free as the wind that's blowing out on this beach."

The First Song: Is there really any better song for a gay wedding in Miami than Gloria Estefan's cover of the disco classic "Everlasting Love"? This is a gay wedding. In Miami.
Drink for the First Toast: The Anita Bryant, naturally. In the '70s, when Florida orange juice spokeswoman Anita Bryant led her now-famous campaign against basic gay rights in Miami-Dade, gay bars responded by taking Screwdrivers (a combo of vodka and OJ) off their menus and replacing them with a mix of vodka and apple juice and naming them the Anita Bryant. Of course, if apple juice and vodka sound kind of gross together, mojitos are fine too.
The Sunday "Goodbye" Brunch: When saying goodbye to your straggling last few out-of-town guests Sunday, you can always take them to drag brunch at Palace, but if you're feeling extra-fancy, there's always Casa Casuarina at Versace's old home.

Gym Blurb & Fun Patterns
2 comments:
I am not a gym person, but I do enjoy going to Jazzercise classes. I find it hard to get motivated to exercise unless someone is telling me what to do, which is why I prefer fitness classes over an open gym format. I really like the Danskin line of workout clothes from Walmart, they are good quality and very affordable. I like your cat leggings!ReplyDelete
Those kitty leggings are so stinkin' adorable! I love fun gym clothes; it's something cute to look at while you're going back and forth, up and down. Also, cute clothes just make you feel good, and that's always a nice way to go about your workout, isn't it? :) Glad you had a good time; it's always amazing when working out isn't the most horrible thing ever, huh?ReplyDelete

I had the chance to make this salad just this past month and I'd used the tapioca pudding mix which was just "Cook & Serve". I simply followed this recipe as it was presented and it worked out very well! This recipe is definitely a keeper! Thank you for sharing!delowenstein

Wonderful! Couldn't find the tapioca so I substituted Instant Coconut Pudding. It gave it an extra tropical boost!

This is a Thanksgiving favorite in my family. However, I haven't been able to find tapioca pudding mix in years. I use 3 Tbsp tapioca and 1/3 cup sugar. I'm wondering if there are other suggestions?

This is a family favorite! My Husband gets so excited when he sees this on the table! It reminds us of Orange Dreamsicles. So fresh and creamy and great for summer time. I used Kraft Minute Tapioca as well and it turned out perfect!

The founder of Huawei has taken aim at Donald Trump, suggesting US restrictions on its business "underestimate our abilities".
Ren Zhengfei was quoted by Chinese state media CCTV as saying the company's battle was with the Trump administration and not US firms - as he defied a crackdown on the business in the world's largest economy.
Restrictions imposed by the US government last Thursday added Huawei and 68 other entities to a blacklist on national security grounds, making it difficult for the Chinese company to buy US-made goods.
The ban meant it was unable to maintain its networks or provide software updates to existing handsets.
Reports suggested Google had reacted by suspending its business with the Chinese firm, undermining Huawei's line-up of smartphones and tablets which run on Android.
There was some temporary relief on Monday when US authorities announced a 90-day licence for Huawei.
The US Commerce Department stressed it was to minimise disruption for its US customers and the firm was still prohibited from buying American parts and components to manufacture new products without a fresh licence.
Google later confirmed the easing of the restrictions meant Huawei phone owners would be able to continue using Google apps as normal for now.
The US accuses Huawei of being a national security risk as Chinese state law means companies there are obliged to cooperate with information if demanded by security services.
:: Listen to the Daily podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Spreaker
The firm denies any suggestion its networks pose a risk as the race for 5G technology enters a crucial phase - with Huawei at the forefront.
Mr Ren said the temporary easing of the US restrictions were of little consequence for Huawei as it had made extensive preparations for hostility from the US government.
He told Chinese reporters the US controls "will have no impact within this company" and that the firm has "supply back-ups" if it loses access to American chips and other technology.
Mr Ren also said the company was discussing "emergency relief measures" with Google about the possible effect on its smartphone business.
A senior executive told Sky News last week how the company would sign "no-spying" deals with any governments - if it helped reassure them of no link to the Beijing authorities.
The Financial Times reported Huawei was on the verge of launching its own operating system to account for the expected loss of Android.
The Huawei issue has become a central plank of the wider trade war between China and the US as the loss of Google apps would make Huawei phones unattractive to western users.
Most Google apps are barred in China because of domestic restrictions.

"The only test that measures accurately your chances to get your ex back." Tried and proven by 4 million people.Start the Test
My ex never loved me : Is it right ?
My ex never loved me : it can hit like a ton of bricks.
Just like the we need to talk and the aftermath of a breakup.
It can make all sorts of crazy thoughts and actions come out of the woodwork.
And crawl through your mind with explosive deconstruction on what you held true.
My ex never loved me then what else is a lie?
It is a hard thing to deal with and moving on from a breakup.
It is more than just accepting that the person who used to be the center of your world.
Does not want to be part of your life anymore.
The more difficult part could be when you are left hanging.
Because you are not sure whether to wait or not.
This indecision gives you two conflicting options both of which are tough regardless.
One can mean an uncomfortable reunion fraught with the threat of another breakup.
The other is the sad and lonely decision to move on with your own life as a singleton.
To be honest there are pros and cons to both options.
However, knowing that your ex does not want you back anymore.
Can push you to move on no matter how hard it is.
And it can at least take the decision out of your hands leaving you with no other option.
If you do not do it.
You may end up feeling pathetic from wallowing with bitterness and maybe self pity.
While your ex is freely enjoying his or her new life.
When all is said and done.
I think knowing for sure is in one way is better, than not knowing which way to turn.
At least you can be sure of the option and though it will take time and effort.
You eventually can be sure of that decision and yourself.
Is it some form of denial ?
Sure it is a part of a breakup part of the stages of grief in death and the passing of a relationship.
So it only natural and normal to come up against this situation.
You may feel it is not true my ex never loved me is a lie.
There may be some other quite valid reason they thought in their mind for doing this.
What could it be ?
It could be a defense mechanism.
That they are really too scared of their true and deep feelings for you.
And that they tell a lie to you and themselves.
In order to protect themselves from the scary truth.
That they really truly and deeply are head over heels in love with you.
This is a tricky suggestion that still involves deceit and lies on their part.
And it can leave your head dizzy spinning around with what is the truth and what is not.
Which of their words are lies and which are not.
So do not go jumping to conclusions upon hearing my ex never loved me.
And then thinking they love you totally, it can be a great and obvious mistake.
What is the context ?
Before you get to that stage of second guessing what is truth and what is not.
You need to consider the context of how you found out my ex never loved me.
I mean was it a remark cast off with a smile.
Or spit out like a venomous viper in the midst of a fight.
It could have been read in a message or email.
Or worse yet in a diary where it was written as an admission no one else was meant to read.
Yeah reading it in a diary throws up many more problems.
How can you admit to having read something like that ?
How and why would they write such a thing.
How can you go on in such a relationship ?
How can they continue in a relationship where my ex never loved me ?
The discovery of this information in a diary is a very specific incidence.
But it brings up all the same kind of questions as other ways of finding out.
However other ways of finding out or being told will be more nuanced.
The motivations can be more varied.
Than someone taking literary licence to write it down essentially in a note to themselves.
Admittedly it could be done with the knowledge that it could be read.
If there was a previous incident or even history of reading someone else's diary.
It could be an admission, a trap or even a way out.
Giving cause to initiate a break up that they may want to avoid having to do.
My ex never loved me, or so they said in a heated exchange
If the revelation was revealed in a heated exchange of words during a fight or argument.
It can be called into question more.
There have been times I am sure where everyone has said things in the heat of the moment.
Things that we know are not true or that are not going to happen.
I mean if thoughts or words were crimes nearly everyone would be convicted murderers.
How many times have you heard or said I'd kill you.
I ask you how many people would be left out of jail, saints and people who cant speak only ?
So the context of finding out my ex never loved me can make all the difference.
In the truth of the matter.
But that still might not make it a lie.
Just that it took a heated moment for it to come out and be said.
If your ex was on the other hand staring deeply into your eyes and coolly and calmly told you.
This has got to be taken a lot more seriously and has to be seen as a really callous act.
It would be hard to misinterpret that kind of statement and situation.
My ex never loved me, said as a reaction or distraction
If your ex was feeling particularly vulnerable or cornered.
Like in a discussion on issues to do with their behavior and problems they might be having.
Then it could possibly be a reaction to that and said as a distraction.
Taking the focus off them and bringing another issue into the conversation.
Using it as a means to change the subject and shift focus from the hard questions.
They may have to face on to anything else.
In that case it would be less likely to be the whole truth.
How you discovered My ex never loved me.
Will give you a background to what is being said.
That may question the veracity of what is being said.
The context and the tone will also inform the decision to believe it or not.
My ex never loved me, as a joke
I mean it could be just a really bad joke.
After a seriously great bout of orgasmic and exhausting love making and you are cuddling and chatting.
And you could be saying how much you enjoyed it and loved it or them.
They could ironically say No I never really loved you.
As a display of a contrary twisted sense of humor it could be said.
In jest at that point and it could be excused or could it?
Repeated mentions that My ex never loved me
This is the killer.
When it is repeated it harder to deny or consider it a lie.
Regardless of its context.
If it repeated throughout all of the examples given and more, then it is an issue.
It could be that the ex can not find the means or the guts to breakup.
So they begin a process of erosion dropping little hints or not so little as they may be.
Trying to find a way to end what has become to all intents and purposes the death of a relationship.
Being unable to bring themselves to have the serious talk where they have do the dirty deed.
They can resort to muttering it under their breath or dropping it into inappropriate moments.
When you hear it more than once you have to think they may be saying it for a definitive reason.
Perhaps to prompt an end or exit.
It may not be the whole and real reason they want to end it.
But the difficulties in broaching the subject of finishing a relationship.
Can make it seem like a means to an end.
I have known couples who have split up on the grounds of a thoroughly fictitious third person.
Brought in to prompt the end of that relationship.
This prompt could be closer to the truth than the fictitious third person.
But the reasoning or motivations could be the same.
It is hard to break up with someone who you have dated.
And sometimes it takes breaking utterly and absolutely.
The end of the love that brought you together is one way that is valid and proper.
My ex never loved me, as a means to cause extra distress in the end
The extra dimension of adding my ex never loved me.
It could be the result of some bitter pain that they perceived or felt during the relationship.
Something that changed their minds so utterly.
That they have only been left with the pain and suffering.
And they feel so bitter about it that in the end that they want to share that suffering.
Albeit in a nasty, vindictive and revenge motivated way.
If there behavior has been pointed nasty and vindictive in this way for some time.
And this is following such an incident like infidelity.
This could be that they have not gotten over some incident.
An incident that they may say they have forgiven but in reality they have not.
Cheating or infidelity can have this kind of lingering negative effect on a relationship.
The cheating partner could have made every effort to heal their mistake.
And what could have been a one off error in judgement in an otherwise solid relationship.
Has had lasting and serious effects that have been suppressed.
And the shocking and devastating effects on the partner can simmer under the surface creating resentment.
This kind of resentment that one that can destroy any loving feelings.
Getting to the point where they can say they never loved you ever.
This can be the reaction to the betrayal of the cheating incident.
The ex might go through the motions of forgiveness and try to continue to be in a relationship.
But the reality of the constant doubt and the destruction of the foundations of trust.
Could have become too much to bare.
And result is the possibly untruthful admission that they never really loved you.
It is a reaction to the suffering caused and the distorted wish to share that betrayal distrust and pain.
The way it comes out is the apparent denial of what you were led to believe previously.
That you were in a loving couple working on forgiveness.
Saying I never loved you is the only and ultimate expression of that hurt.
That they may see as a weapon to use against you.
They try and destroy whatever illusions you may have had.
About their love loyalty and honesty within the relationship.
Whatever the situation that brought about the revelation that my ex never loved me.
You have to consider it real for the most part.
Because the other option is living another lie.
Being in a relationship where you may deeply love your partner.
But they do not feel the same or return that love is hopeless and beyond redeeming.
There is not really any chance for it to work in the long run for both of you.
One will be hurt and the other could be disinterested or indifferent to that pain.
It is not a situation that can be worked out to the satisfaction of both partners.
And to still have a stable loving relationship.
It is a death knell sounding, the end is nigh.
Do the best for yourself and bite the bullet move on find someone who will love you.
If you feel my ex never loved me find someone who will .
It wont be easy but it is the better choice to make in the end of the day.

Extract from a recent article by Tim Lawless from RP Data:
"Another recent trend has been the superior performance of the unit market relative to houses. Over the first five years [2001 to 2005] average annual growth was recorded at 8.7% for houses and 6.2% for units, over the last five years [2006 to 2011] the figures have been 4.4% pa and 5.5% pa respectively. The results reflect the fact that affordability has become an issue and people are focusing on cheaper housing options. The results also reflect changing lifestyle patterns and a greater acceptance of unit living, particularly within inner city areas of our major capital cities.
If recent market conditions are anything to go by, the residential housing market is likely to show lower levels of capital gains in the coming years compared to the longer-term historical trend. It is important to note that historically housing has been a long-term asset class which has appreciated at a slow pace over a long period of time. In recent years big spikes in growth rates have seen people more prepared to speculate on short-term value growth. Given the recent data it looks as if the housing market fundamentals are reverting to "normal" market conditions after a period of higher than normal growth rates."

Why no placeholder text input on HTML5?
We are working with the HTML5 publish from Storyline. We have some typing/input activities. We would like to have the input fields show a placeholder/default value like, "How did you feel about..." or some such things like that.
Now the feature list here (http://www.articulate.com/support/storyline/comparing-storylines-flash-html5-and-articulate-mobile-player-output) says "Custom instruction text won't display in data entry fields in HTML5." And sure enough we don't see the custom text in html5 published versions.
OK so here is the question!
Since the html5 standard specifies the placeholder attribute, why doesn't this work in html5?
The placeholder attribute seems exactly like what we want and what custom instruction text is. Right? Here is a site showing the input placeholder attribute in action.
And it looks like the placeholder attribute is well supported across browsers.
So why the irony that something that html5 does out of the box isn't included in html5 publish?

Hi R,
I don't claim to know why our development team did or did not include a particular feature, as I'm also not a programmer to understand the intricacies behind it. If it's something you'd like to see in future versions or updates to Storyline I'd suggest that you share your thoughts (being as detailed as this thread) in the form of a feature request as those go directly to our product development team for review and for them to determine the possibility of which features to include in new updates.
Just wondering if anything came of this? I've been trying to remove the default placeholder text in HTML5 output to no avail.
For those wondering how to do it, I had to use js.
If you look at the output, the textarea is inside a div with the class textinput and interactive. Using that information it's dead easy to edit the placeholder text to whatever you want. Obviously this doesn't work in flash, but if you're wanting a blank input box then you can't go wrong.
Execute this javascript when the timeline begins on that slide.
$('.textinput.interactive textarea').attr("placeholder","");
Hi Gary
Your solution was exactly what I needed, but it would only work for me in basic test slides, not my project.
It took several hours of testing to understand what was going on.
Any textarea less than 80 pixels in height with default margins, or 70 pixels in height with no margins was completely unaffected by your javascript line. I theorized that storyline is only creating the 'textarea' for oversize entry areas, and creating something else for smaller ones.
After much testing I discovered that this smaller text entry field seems to be called 'input' so I now have the following javascript at the start of my slides, to set HTML5 placeholder text.
$('.textinput.interactive textarea').attr("placeholder","my placeholder here");
$('.textinput.interactive input').attr("placeholder","my placeholder here");
Now placeholder text in HTML5 works perfectly for me, regardless of the text entry field height.
This works very well. Thanks! Any ideas for how to make the field blank AND focused (active)?
Hi Jeremy,
This thread is a bit older - so I'm not certain that folks are still subscribed. You may want to message them directly using the "contact me" button on their profile to see if they have additional thoughts on how to set this up as you need. Within Storyline you can place a text entry item as the top most object on the timeline and that will bring it to the front, and should force the focus there.
Thanks for the advise. Unfortunately, the rule of bringing the text entry item to the top of the timeline does not seem to apply for HTML5. I will try to contact these folks directly. Thanks.
Hi Jeremy,
Certainly - and I'll keep you posted if I find out anything else in relation to the focus of text entry and HTML5.
Small update I'd like to share, using the code below on a javascript trigger on timeline starts, sets the focus in html5 to the text entry box.
$('.textinput.interactive input').focus();
Nice one Marcus - thanks for sharing that here. I wonder if it would work in the Flash as well even if you didn't place the text entry box at the bottom of the timeline?
Hi all
just wondering if there has been any update with regard to this issue?
I tried the trigger suggested by Marcus but, unfortunately, I still get the same result.

Hi Íde,
Thanks for reaching out! I created a quick sample file using an essay question type and a data entry box, and both options have placeholder text in HTML5. Let me know if you're not seeing that on your end!
Also, you'll want to be sure you're on the most recent update of your version of Storyline. :)
I'm just wondering if you are using Storyline 3? As we've just found this trigger doesn't work now, but placing the text entry at the bottom of the timeline does make it get the focus in html5.

Good news, Marcus! I'm excited to let you know that we just released update 3 for Storyline 3! It includes new features and fixes - check them all out here.
One of the fixes addresses an issue where data-entry fields didn't have focus when slides loaded in HTML5 output, so learners had to click inside them before entering text.
Here's where you can download and install the latest version of Storyline 3. Let me know how you make out!

Most people might not know it, but a lot of anticipation surrounds the announcement of the Taos Plaza Live lineup. With good reason, the choices are hard as a committee works with the Taos County Chamber of Commerce to pick bands and performers they hope will fill the plaza with enthusiastic crowds.

On any given Taos Plaza Live summer night, you may hear Spanish rancheras, country-western, R&B, blues, or hard-driving rock 'n' roll, all while the dance floor in front of the gazebo is filled with locals and visitors dancing away.

I never posted a wrap-up of my reading in January, so here you go! Better late than never, huh? My High Fantasy Challenge got off to a good start, and I enjoyed the other books I read as well. February Wrap-Up will follow soon (hopefully)!
Rating system
1 out of 5 – I didn't like it: badly written or just got on my nerves
2 out of 5 – It was okay: other people might enjoy it more
3 out of 5 – I liked it: a fun/enjoyable read
4 out of 5 – I really liked it: good characters & plot, maybe some theme that spoke to me
5 out of 5 – It was amazing: I consider it a favorite and will probably re-read at some point
My favorite post in january
2014 Resolutions – My High Fantasy Challenge list
High Fantasy of the Month
The Name of the Wind
(The Kingkiller Chronicle #1)
By: Patrick Rothfuss
First published in 2007
The legendary hero Kvothe tells his real story for the first time.
My review is here. I loved it! 5/5
Classic of the Month
A Moveable Feast
By: Ernest Hemingway
First published in 1964
Genre: Modern classic memoir
Hemingway reminisces about his time in Paris in the 1920s, spent with a bunch of other writers.
I've never read a novel by Hemingway before, and this one was a memoir – so I still don't know much about his fiction writing. I've always been interested in the history of France, and I loved the movie Midnight in Paris that was set in this same era, so I enjoyed reading about "starving artists" in Paris.
One thing I noticed was that those poor artists sure did drink a lot of coffee and wine, hahah! I guess those things were a lot cheaper then. Hemingway's work ethic and attitude to writing were also very interesting to read about. I enjoyed the appearances of all the other writers and artists, though the reader has to remember that this is very much Hemingway's impression of those people, and not the be-all-and-end-all of those persons – some of them did come across as caricatures. Overall, a very interesting look into Hemingway's life at that point in time. 3/5
Fantasy Books
Whispers Under Ground
(Peter Grant #3)
By: Ben Aaronovitch
First published in 2012
Genre: Urban fantasy police procedural
Constable and wizard's apprentice Peter Grant is called for help when a murdered American exhange student is found at a tube station.
I fell in love with the Peter Grant series last year, and this is the third book in the series. This time I didn't enjoy the case so much, but the characters and the dialogue were as good as ever. Even all the side characters always feel like real people. So while this was my least favorite case in the series so far, I did have fun reading the book. 4/5
Over Sea, Under Stone
(The Dark is Rising #1)
By: Susan Cooper
First published in 1965
Genre: Middle grade adventure fantasy
Three siblings try to find an Arthurian artifact before the bad guys get to it.
I enjoyed this book very much! What a nice start to a children's fantasy adventure series. It was well written (I read the Finnish translation) and very engaging: I was nervous when the kids were chased and excited when they did a discovery.
I'm really surprised that I didn't read this series when I was a kid, especially 'cause I remember I really liked Cooper's Seaward back then. I would have loved this. 4/5
Graphic novels
Y: The Last Man, Vol. 1: Unmanned
By: Brian K. Vaughan & Pia Guerra
First published in 2003
Genre: Dystopian
A mysterious plague kills all males on Earth, except, for some reason, escape artist Yorick and his capuchin monkey.
A lot of people have recommended this series to me, and I've liked other works by Vaughan, but I have to say that I didn't love the book. It was interesting, but there were some things that annoyed me, and I wasn't very invested in the characters. I will read on, though (and did in February), to see where the plot goes, and how the re-building of the world after the catastrophe is handled. 3/5

TEGUCIGALPA, HONDURAS – Here in the middle of the rain forests of Central America, the United States military is painstakingly misapplying the lessons it learned from the War on Terror to the War on Drugs.
A soldier makes contact with tribal elders from the turret of his desert-patterned Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) Vehicle, after getting stuck in a mud puddle.
"Salaam Alaikum," shouts Specialist Lenny Barnet to a group of Honduran farmers.
The farmers, who are overwhelmingly Spanish-speaking, just stare back blankly.
Specialist Barnet is just one of 600 soldiers who make up Joint Task Force-Bravo, a US military unit that has been helping the Honduran government fight narcotics traffickers in Central America.
According to Colonel Ross Brown, the commander of American military forces in Honduras, before his unit deployed he was given instructions by General Douglas Fraser at US Southern Command to pay strict attention to After-Action Reviews (AARs) coming out of Iraq and Afghanistan.
"Well, I wasn't too sure that we could apply lessons learned in landlocked Muslim desert countries to the jungles of Central America," said Colonel Brown, "but the General insisted, and orders are orders."
"According to the AARs, our first priority was to make sure that everyone spoke some basic Arabic," he said. "Then we did a series of classes on how to respect Islamic customs, which no one here seems to follow."
"One of my Staff Sergeants actually spent three hours trying to show a local priest where Mecca was."
"Then we ordered several dozen MRAPs to guard against IED attacks and made all our soldiers practice their 5's and 25's [explosive checks]. The checks, however, didn't last for long after several of them tried it in the jungle and fell down a ravine."
As Colonel Ross spoke, his men were busy conducting a census in a local village to find out how many people were Sunni or Shi'a.
After one of his men reported that no one seemed to know what a Sunni or Shi'a was, Colonel Ross smiled and said, "I can already see they're learning to ignore those things and work together!"
Back in Tegucigalpa, a counterbattery radar detachment was hard at work scanning areas of the Pakistani border, over 9,000 miles away.
"Well, we've been ordered to vigilantly watch for infiltrators coming from Pakistan," said a slightly confused Corporal Jesse Cass, "but I'm a little more concerned about the cartel gunfight going on outside our main gate."
According to Colonel Ross, the Task Force ultimately planned to set up a series of checkpoints throughout the country, a job he believed would be even easier since they could use all the MRAPs, which were unable to drive on the narrow Honduran dirt roads.
"Once we've established our checkpoints, we can easily separate the people from Al Qaeda, or whatever jihadi terrorist group is running around Central America," Colonel Ross observed.
"Then we can assist the locals in setting up a proper Islamic constitution, help them divy up oil reserves, and assist their multiple wives in finding jobs."

Other Consulting
In addition to the primary services 15 Consulting offers industrial and capital goods manufacturers, below is a listing of additional services that we can provide directly and through partnerships.
- Sales channel optimization – Choosing the right sales channels for your business and the optimizing the performance of those channels are critical to driving growth. I can provide assistance and guidance in making these key decisions.
- Enhancing your Marketing Function – Many people think of Marketing as advertising and promotion. It should be far more than that if you want to derive the maximum benefit from the organization. Competitor analysis, new product development input, market size/market share, Search Engine Optimization (SEO), product pricing, and the quote through order entry process value stream are areas that your Marketing organization should be driving to position your firm optimally.
- Innovation – Constant innovation is something that I hold as a core competency of winning industrial manufacturers. There has to be a disciplined process in place to yield the right result in a timely manner. I can assist in directing that effort.
- Risk Management – Strangely enough, I find that a lot of industrial manufacturing firms do not have a risk management plan in place and don't actively manage risk. Unpleasant surprises happen in business and it is always best to be prepared. I can lead the effort to put your plan in place.
- Supply Chain Management – A properly functioning Supply Chain Management team is one of the most important components of your business. After all, where is the majority of your industrial manufacturing company dollars spent? For this reason alone, the Supply Chain function should be operating most optimally and delivering real results that positively impact both the income statement and balance sheet. I can deliver these results by working with your Supply Chain team.
- Execution – This is another area I identify as a must have core competency for winners in the industrial manufacturing space. I have 15 years of senior level executive experience on successfully driving execution that I will share as well as tools for monitoring and measuring.
- HR & Labor Relations – I partner with an expert in this field who has 40 years' experience in implementing proper HR practices as well as negotiating labor agreements.
- Finance, Accounting, Tax – I partner with another consultant in this field who has 35 years C suite experience in these areas. He and his team can assist in audit, tax, and implementation of financial and accounting best practice.
- Leadership Training – I partner with a professional leadership trainer who has been successfully doing this on her own for the past 25 years. I used her when I ran my businesses. She is outstanding at sorting out dysfunctional organizations and training leaders on how to work together for a common purpose.
- Website Development/Enhancement – I partner with a professional website development firm. This is their only business and they are very good at it.
If you need some very specific help in any of these areas, you can email me at
firstname.lastname@example.com, to set up a time to talk, or call/text me at 815-988-4562 at your convenience.

What we help with: This is an area of expertise. We can assist in market sizing, competitor analysis, self assessment, and all components required to develop a great strategic plan.

We'll facilitate this process for your company as well as providing the templates that need to be completed.
Typical business impact: An excellent strategic plan ends up functioning as the measuring stick for the ambitions of the leadership of the company. When executed, it will deliver and, many times, exceed the expectations of the organization.

Who this is for: Owners who are stuck in the day-to-day of the business without the time to tackle the long-term issues and objectives necessary to grow and improve.
What we help with: We help business owners/CEO's through periodic counseling and ongoing mentoring sessions. We assist and advise on prioritization of tasks and help define an execution plan to deliver improvements in their business that will make the biggest difference to top and bottom line in the shortest period of time. We spend time in the business, familiarizing ourselves with the processes, existing and potential customers, suppliers, and people. Leaning on our best practice experience from many years of successfully running businesses, we can then guide business owners on prioritized plans of action that deliver immediate results and assist in the execution of these plans if needed.
Typical business impact: The Owner/CEO knows exactly what to prioritize every week in order to move the business forward, and that certainty translates directly into action and financial results.
Private Equity Consulting to Maximize Deal Synergies
15 Consulting has entered into a unique partnership with Andolino and Associates. While 15 Consulting focuses on non-financial/IT consulting, Andolino Associates specializes in Tax, M&A, as well as Finance & Accounting functional process excellence.
As we were discussing what we might do together, we surmised that by combining our expertise we could offer private equity clients real value by providing pre-deal tax advice and operational due diligence.
Post deal, we can provide hands-on execution assistance across the organization acquired including optimizing all functional processes excluding IT, driving profitable growth organically, delivering identified synergies, and advising on ideal tax strategies. Optimal space would be small to mid-market companies.
Think 15 Consulting could be a fit for your industrial products manufacturing business?
If you'd like to explore whether there's an opportunity to help your industrial products manufacturing firm grow and increase profitability, let's have a conversation and see where we go from there and determine if we'd be a fit.
Send me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com to coordinate a time that works for you. I'm also available at (815) 988-4562.

The man is in a stable condition.

When the subject of dentures comes up, people often think of commercials for denture adhesives. These commercials imply that everyone uses adhesives to keep their dentures in and that denture wearers run the risk of having dentures fall out at embarrassing times!
When considering dentures, it is important to remember that they are custom-made to fit your mouth precisely and comfortably. In fact, dentures that fit properly do not require denture adhesives to stay in place. One exception to this rule may be when your dentures are new. Your dentist may suggest using an denture adhesive while you get used to the denture.
As time goes on and your mouth changes with age, you may find that your dentures must be replaced. Your dentist will provide advice on this, which is one reason to continue regular checkups after you begin wearing dentures.
A loose denture is a sign that it no longer fits your mouth or works properly. If your dentures become loose, you should see your dentist immediately. Continuing to wear a poorly-fitting denture will cause irritation to your gums and mouth, and can lead to infection over time. If you persist in wearing dentures that do not fit, your mouth may change shape and your ability to eat the foods you want and like will diminish.
A tip to keep in mind: you may feel your denture slip when you laugh, smile, or cough, particularly when your dentures are new. This slippage is caused by air suddenly getting under your denture base and moving it. The longer you wear your denture and become more comfortable with it, the better able you will be to control its movement in these situations.
While many of us remember grandparents or other older friends and neighbors whose dentures did indeed slip or require denture adhesives, today's dentures benefit from advances in dental and materials technology. Dentists work with respected laboratories where trained technicians make your personal dentures to the specifications that your dentist has provided. A good fit is crucial to enjoying life with your new dentures, and to letting others continue to enjoy your smile!

It's an indisputable fact -- our bodies change as we get older. These changes take different forms in different people, depending on our inherited physical traits, our lifestyle and nutritional habits, and our medical conditions.
Age brings changes in oral health and dental care, too. There are some specific areas where seniors need to pay close attention to protect and extend their oral health and dental care.
Plaque is an invisible layer of bacteria that forms on our teeth, and can trap stains at any age. But as we get older, plaque builds up more quickly and is harder to remove. At the same time, the tissue that lies underneath the tooth enamel, called "dentin," is changing, and those changes can make teeth appear darker. Finally, decades of consuming coffee, tea, or tobacco leave stains that build up over time.
Daily brushing and flossing are important, particularly first thing in the morning and just before bed, to combat the plaque that builds up overnight. You may also want to consult your dentist about using commercial dental care rinses that remove plaque.
Many seniors experience a reduced flow of saliva, sometimes as a side effect of medications such as painkillers or decongestants. For some, the lack of moisture inside the mouth can lead to sore throats, a burning sensation, hoarseness, or difficulty swallowing. In addition, if you leave dry mouth unattended, it can damage teeth, since saliva's natural rinsing keeps bacteria washed away from teeth and gums. Sugar-free chewing gum and hard candy will stimulate natural saliva, and artificial saliva and oral rinses will provide much-needed relief. Ask your dentist which commercial dental care products are the best for you.
If your gums begin to recede, the portion of the tooth that used to be below the gum line is now exposed. Roots are softer than tooth surfaces and are susceptible to decay; they are also likely to be sensitive to hot and cold beverages and food. Most people over age 50 suffer from some form of dental disease. Make sure you take good care of teeth and gums with daily brushing and flossing. A word of caution: your gums may be starting to thin. Brush thoroughly but gently to keep from tearing your gums.
Your fillings are getting older, too. They can weaken or crack, or your tooth may decay around the edges of the filling. As a result, bacteria can seep into your tooth, causing more decay. Regular check-ups will give your dentist the chance to keep an eye on your existing fillings.
Daily cleaning and good nutrition are critical for healthy gums. When gums become infected and diseased, they set off a chain reaction that can result in losing teeth or weakening the jawbone. Either condition creates more problems for your health and increases your medical costs. Contact your dentist if your gums become red or begin to bleed.
What you put into your mouth has a direct impact on the health of your mouth -- and the health of the rest of your body. As you age and your lifestyle changes, keep your nutritional goals in mind. Balanced meals are one the best ways you can contribute to your own good health.
The dentist will check your mouth, teeth, and jaw for any problems. You should also mention any sores, swelling, or pain you might be experiencing. Regular checkups enable the dentist to spot problems early. Early resolution of problems will help you keep your natural teeth.
Good dental care, regular check-ups, and good nutrition are the keys to really keep you smiling in your golden years!

ISLAMABAD – The electricity consumers in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) would now have to pay the higher price of the utility as Peshawar Electric Supply Company (PESCO) won the legal certificate to do so in the Supreme Court.
The stance of the PESCO remained that Fuel Adjustment Charge (FAC) in electricity bills was in no manner discriminatory and did not violate any fundamental right of consumers because it was being charged across the board for all consumers of DISCOs (Distribution Companies).
Earlier, the Peshawar High Court (PHC) had ruled out the PESCO's appeal upon which it took the legal battle in Supreme Court.
PESCO, through its lawyer, said the high court had not appreciated the fact that electricity was transmitted across the country through the grid system of National Transmission and Dispatch Company (NTDC) and distributed by DISCOs (Distribution Companies) which could only charge tariff approved by National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) and notified by the federal government.
After hearing the PESCOs defence, the Supreme Court set aside the PHC's verdict and allowed the body to recover FAC from its consumers.

Dear Ones,
Going to finish up what has become an accidental series on my spiritual journey.
I was reminded today by something I read on Deena's blog, Shoes to Shiraz, that life isn't static, our time on Earth is a process, an evolution.
And so is, I have come to realize, my spiritual journey.
For me to think I can tie this up with a little tape, a pretty bow and consider it all wrapped up (over three blog posts) forever is naive.
But this will be the end of the beginning.
How about that?
The end of my posting about my slight spiritual beginnings.
If you are just joining me, you can read my first posts here and here.
Once I began feeling God's presence in my life, I began to notice that He was everywhere I looked. I just needed to take a moment to see Him.
In the fall of 2002, my oldest daughter, Brennyn, had to have an almost surprise surgery. She found a mass in her breast that was growing very rapidly. The doctor said it had to be removed immediately and biopsied. Brennyn had just turned 18 and was two months into her freshman year of college. We couldn't believe that a teenager might possibly have a malignant tumor but who would have thought an 18 year old would have a breast tumor at all?
Thankfully, we only had a few days from the first doctor appointment to the day of surgery. One of my friends gave me a resin cross with the Lord's Prayer inscribed on it and decorated with pink flowers. It seemed so ironic that we were facing this tribulation in October, breast cancer awareness month. The cross was the perfect gift to help us through this struggle.
I hung it on my bedroom wall and began starting each day with prayers while touching that cross.
Thank God, Brennyn's mass was an fibroadenoma and not a tumor. The Mayo Clinic describes fibroadenomas as "solid, noncancerous breast tumors that occur most often in adolescent girls and women under the age of 30." [source] By the time it was removed, Brennyn's adenoma was over 5 centimeters long.
I can't say that I was cool, calm and collected throughout this ordeal but I am certain that I was calmer, cooler and more collected than I would have been without faith in God. Without Him in our corner.
From that time on, I began looking for special crosses to hang on my bedroom wall.
I wanted to have a cross for each of the different people in my life to help me to remember to pray for them. In the house I now share with PC, my prayer wall is in my loft.
And that next birthday in April, I asked my daughters for a cross necklace. Both of the girls bought me a cross! If you know my daughters, you can probably guess which daughter gave me which cross.
If you don't know my daughters, let me give you a little hint…Brennyn has a big personality and is funny and sarcastic and witty. Lauren is funny, too, but in a quieter way. Both of them are home bodies and kinda shy like their mom but Brennyn is less so.
You guessed right if you said that Brennyn gave me the larger, sparklier cross. And Lauren gave me the smaller, more delicate cross. I love them both as I love my daughters dearly.
At this point, I began doing daily devotionals at my prayer wall. I would pray in the car on my way to and from work, when I would see an ambulance or a fire truck, every time I would look at our beautiful mountains. I started writing my "gratefuls" in my journal and going to a nondenominational church that was recommended by one of my teacher friends, Susan, who has one of the most loving families I know.
When I met PC, we started going to church together and then added Sunday School to our weekend activities. For a time, I even joined a Monday evening women's Bible study. When we decided to get married, I was disappointed that we would not be allowed to marry in our church because we had both been married before. In fact, our Sunday School teacher said he wouldn't even perform the ceremony elsewhere. All of that didn't sit well with me. I felt judged and practically criminalized by the church people who preached 'love one another". We were married by the Justice of the Peace at the court house. A few months later we had our home, family and marriage blessed by our Sunday School teacher.
Then our church suffered a tremendous blow. I won't go into details but the events that transpired over about eighteen months practically tore the church apart. It was difficult for us to continue going to a church that was so tumultuous and strife-ridden.
About this same time, my BFF Sharon sent me a copy of Jesus Calling by Sarah Young. As I read this book in the mornings, I could not believe how each page spoke to me. I would follow up my reading by looking up the passages of Scripture suggested for each day.
If you are just starting to set aside devotional time, I highly recommend that you incorporate Jesus Calling into your morning. I think you will find, as I do, that your day will go more smoothly and you will be able to handle the bumps along the way with more serenity and peace of mind. Order your copy here.
We have since found a new church that we both like and are trying to get back into the routine of going every week. They offer a Saturday evening service along in addition to three on Sunday mornings. I love to go Saturday evening because we make a whole date night of it.
My life certainly isn't stress-free or the proverbial 'cake-walk' but I seem better equipped now to handle difficulties and weather the storms of life. I like that Deena reminded her readers of the expression "This too shall pass." It always does.
Praying that you are developing a relationship with God so that He can help you through this life and lead you to eternity.
Hugs and kisses,

TV & Satellite Week chats to Ripper Street stars Matthew Macfadyen, Jerome Flynn and Adam Rothenberg are back – after a last-minute reprieve by Amazon Prime Instant Video…
Were you surprised to be asked to do another series of Ripper Street?
Jerome: "I think we were all a bit shocked when the show was axed – we thought it was a bit of an early bath really. Personally I couldn't quite believe that they weren't going to bring it back. I didn't feel like it had been completed. It felt right when it got picked up for series three."
Matthew: "I think you know when a show is running out of steam, and that's fine, but I didn't feel like ours was. The fan reaction was very flattering.'
What do you think Amazon's involvement will do for Ripper Street?
Jerome: "Amazon is one of the biggest companies in the world, so it will be very interesting to see what happens. There's a lot more freedom and that's exciting. Personally, I don't watch stuff online yet. I don't really understand it so I just get box sets."
Matthew, despite the change, will Reid's iconic bowler hat remain in place?
"I will have words with anyone who threatens to take it away. I was thrilled to be reunited with it. I'd love to wear it outside of filming but I'm neither brave enough nor hip enough."
Everything you need to know about the Ripper Street revival…
How did Amazon Prime get involved?
After the BBC decided to axe the show after disappointing ratings for series two, more than 50,000 people signed a petition to resurrect Ripper Street. Amazon swooped in and negotiated a deal with the BBC to co-finance series three.
So how do I watch it?
The first episode will appear on Amazon Prime Instant Video at 9pm on Friday, November 14, with new episodes uploaded every Friday. A subscription costs £5.99 per month. The series will be shown on the BBC next year.
Could this happen to other shows?
Amazon claim they have been 'inundated with opportunities' to revive existing programmes, but won't name names.

At four-years old, Simone Collins from Montague, Prince Edward Island has defied all odds. Not expected to live beyond her birth, Simone faced a number of health challenges.
Jamie MacKay and his wife, Cara, have been giving to the IWK for more than a decade, but about six years ago the Havre Boucher, NS, couple decided they would do a bit more for the special place that cared for their children in incredible ways.
Isaac was born with a rare form of congenital muscular dystrophy (MD). Thanks to donors, he now has access to leading-edge equipment and the expertise of IWK care teams – all working together to help him live a fulfilling life.
Ella may be tiny, but she has proven she is mighty. Born prematurely, the care she received from the IWK Health Centre began before she was even born.
For four years, the IWK Health Centre has been Aurora's home away from home. She relies on the IWK to help keep her seizure free.
In 2013, Chloe Davis wasn't feeling well. Tests at the IWK Health Centre confirmed her parents' worst fears - Chloe had cancer.
In July 2015, Connor was diagnosed with Burkitt's Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, an extremely aggressive form of cancer that doubles in size every 24 hours.

Caden is a 14-year-old IWK patient with big dreams. Diagnosed with cerebral palsy when he was just a baby, this condition causes him frequent challenges with his muscle tone and mobility. He says living with a disability has opened more doors for him than it's closed.
Gar & Bonnie Gillis are well known on the Island for their impressive bottle house village located in their backyard, and have accepted donations from visitors to donate over $10,000 to the IWK over the years.
Born with two holes in his heart and an abnormal heart valve, Kyden had his first heart surgery at just four months old.

"Don't be afraid to give up the good to go for the great." Similarly, Ayush followed his ambition and kept working hard to achieve success in his life. Here is the inspiring success story of Ayush Singh:
I have been working for an IT company for the past two years. Meanwhile while working with the company I planned to start my preparation for Banking exams. Let me tell you, it was not an easy journey. In short, it has been a journey of ups and down with a great learning curve. I would love to share my success story with other aspirants so they can keep themselves motivated during their preparations.
Preparation Strategy:
My only mantra to clear this section was practice, practice and practice. I just gave as many mocks as I can and nothing else. Moreover, after every mock, I thoroughly analysed my weak areas and worked accordingly to improve. Make sure you are well versed with all the formulas, rules, tables etc before giving the mock tests.
For Reasoning, I would like to tell you guys that give a mock test daily rather than just preparing the chapters as giving mocks will help you to identify your skills and time management abilities. Rather than hard work opt for smart work and you will definitely see yourself succeeding in the upcoming exams.
As far as English is concerned always start by clearing your basic grammar concepts. For English also I was solely depended on mock tests which I gave on Oliveboard (Hands Down the finest and the toughest of them all). Meanwhile, read newspapers to work on your vocab and reading skills.
Read newspapers daily to keep yourself updated. Give daily quizzes and mock tests. This is the best way to prepare for the GA/GK section within a limited time period.
For me, Interview part was the easiest of them all. One should have basic to moderate knowledge of Banking Concepts and also about major national/international affairs. Be honest and confident throughout the interview process.
Role of Oliveboard:
Without any doubt, I would like to give Oliveboard mock tests a major credit in my success. The mock tests which I gave were of very good quality and helped me to get accustomed to the modern approaches and methods towards solving any problem. Lastly, I would highly recommend it to all the aspirants
That's it, this was my not-so-magic mantra for clearing the exams and to be honest if you invest 4-5 hours daily in your preparation, you are good to go.
I wish all the very best to all the aspirants."
