People are always going to go shopping. A lot of our effort is just: 'How do we make the retail experience a great one?' ~ Philip Green
The shop philosophy
What make me giddy about surprises are not the big gifts that overwhelm me, but the little yet sincere and heartfelt ones. This may come in sticky notes from nowhere, the 3 pieces of kisses that meant I-love-you, a pillow for my aching back after a hard day's work, a pen in my favorite color, and so many things that I could recall and think about. These little things just keep everything going whether it is in romance or friendship.
At the back my head, I just think this could take so much time to look around. What I thought was probably, that person just passed by an alley, and he or she was thoughtful enough to just grab that item that makes one giddy. And I just suddenly thought of a shop that has long existed, even during high school when my friends and I just handed out random stuff to each other on a super random day.
Tickles, a shop-of-all-sort, has been brightening people's day since 1979. What was originally conceptualized as a retail shop of any random item just prevailed to be people's favorite up until this day. I kept thinking after years of adult existence why someone would call a shop Tickles. I thought it was just a random, cutesy name that just popped in someone's head. But it just makes sense now. The shop is based on the kilig factor just makes someone happy and giddy, making it seem that invisible tickles exist.
Inside the shop
Tickles is known for the humor and statement pillows. They are their bestsellers to date. The comfort that this item brings speaks so much of the shop.
Stuffed toys will always be people's best resort when it comes to gifts. Who wouldn't get this cute stuff?
Panda-mania is not yet over for this shop! These are adorb and huggable panda-bles, definitely!
Collectibles remain a whim to someone. It's staple in the shop as well.
Essentials like bags, pouches, slippers, and many more remain inside for people to rummage.
I found these statement sleeping-masks, which make it a thoughtful gift for the preoccupied millennial in the age when sleep is for the weak. But the shop just looks after us, doesn't it? And I am cray-cray over these, seriously. I could just hand this to a friend who just needs so much sleep.

Absolutely wonderful. Shestan was great and let us feel one with nature. Loved jumping in waterfalls and eating fruit right off the tree.
Mark HRvey
Best tour and tour guide. 5 STARS. Tour guide very informative and fun hike. STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.
Yoichi Harada
The tour guide also had good knowledge about ecosystem.
The necessity of wet boots, however, should have been strongly recommended in advance.
Jenn Dick
Great experience! Our guide, George, was very friendly and knowledgeable. Appreciated his kindness to our kids.
Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Maui!
catherine sandvig
EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT and would highly recommend it. The guide was really great and knew her stuff :) Worth the money spent
Angelica Duran
Our hike with Dawn was one of the highlights of our vacation. She was very passionate and knowledgeable of the history, culture, and geography of the islands. It was a great time!! :)
Dawn Gray
My husband, daughter (16) and I choose this hiking tour to get a piece of the rainforest and visit waterfalls. We're so glad we went with Hike Maui. Our tour guide, Gail, picked us up on time that morning and you can't help but fall in love with her personality upon meeting her. She is super sweet and loves what she does. She provided so much information along the drive about the history and culture of the island and answered all questions. The hike was amazing. So much vegetation and not difficult by any means. Everyone in our group did great. Gail was very attentive and shared a wealth of information about the vegetation in the rainforest. We had a blast jumping off of the waterfalls and swimming in the clear refreshing waters. They provide backpacks and you carry your lunch and water with you. We enjoyed our lunch in a cave under the waterfall. It was a perfect day and we look forward to doing a full day tour when we return to the island in the future. Mahalo Gail and A Hui Kaua!!

Our guide was the most fun and so knowledgeable.
Greatest experience of our Honeymoon!

Wallace Francis
Really great trip. One of the best tours I have taken. Normally I eschew tours and go with exploring on my own, but with toddlers with the nanny, time is of the essence and this took us to places we would a)not find ourselves easily and b) took the frustration of finding it away. I'm good at exploring, but Hawaii is particularly confusing because the rainforest cover and lack of features. Kate was an amazing source of info. Top notch.Really great trip.

This was an awesome adventure. Our guide was very informative and did a great job navigating the path. It was flash-flooding and he made sure we all crossed the areas carefully. I would recommend this for anyone that enjoys hiking.

"Neural Dust" Implant
October 18, 2016 | Terry Sharrer
Electrical engineers at the University of California-Berkeley have created an implantable sensor, about the size of a grain of sand, which can wirelessly monitor nerve impulses in muscles or generate stimulation. They call this device "neural dust." Each sensor houses a piezeoelectric crystal that produces electricity from an external ultrasound source. "When the vibrations are bounced back to an ultrasound device on the outside of the skin, the change in echo can be analyzed to reveal the voltage of the nerve." According to the developers, neural dust might be used as neural stimulators for the central or peripheral nervous systems. MORE

When you think of Easter, do visions of chocolate bunnies, Cadbury eggs, and peeps dance through your head? Easter, like so many other holidays, is often characterized by gorging on sweets, but there are many ways that you can get into the spirit of Easter without sacrificing a healthy lifestyle.
Continuing on our healthy holiday theme, here are 5 tips from TAO for a healthier Easter:


text: What is FESPA ? FESPA Awards is an international printing competition through which is celebrated not only the best print globally but also the people responsible for its creativity and production. The main event takes place on the 10th May at the 5* Grand Elysee Hotel in Hamburg where besides the wine and the live entertainment all-day long, the winners of the FESPA Awards 2017 are announced. Why we're going ? From the very beginning of Matter of Spirit the biggest hustle we had was finding the technology that we could use in making high detail prints on cotton. Time was flying, the pressure was getting higher and higher but we never compromised the quality using other technologies we've tested, we were still in the search for that printer with excellent results. Over 2 years ahead we found it and since then we're using it in making our T-Shirts with happiness. We've heard of FESPA from a good friend and quickly decided to join. We thought that this is the best way to test the technology at international level. In December 2016 we were submitting our Entry "Twigs" - our best seller T-Shirt. At the beginning of March, we've been announced that we're on the Shortlist, with only 4 other digital prints and that we should prepare for a medal, because 3 of 5 participants will be on the stage with a prize in their hands. We chose "Twigs" because the image contains the essence of everything we're doing. It's a well known metaphor in which the tree resembles with one's life. The trunk of the tree is similar with the life of Matter of Spirit project, at this moment. Full of actions, some are ceased, like some twigs in the image, other produce results, they thrive and ramify in healthy directions. The tree is young and the light appears in the background. Exactly as it is for us right now. What will happen next ? We're going to Hamburg to win at least one prize, we're nominated at "T-shirts and other garments" category but also on "People's Choice Award", but we're not going to wait until than to be happy. Just participating as finalists at this international event comes like a crowning for the efforts we've made to develop this project to what it is now. We're celebrating this with a new unique T-Shirt shape for women, a promising fresh Romanian artist and, of course, a brand-new wave of images on T-Shirts. But FESPA is not only about competition. Networking with like-minded professionals, sharing ideas, or speaking about experiences could make everybody see new perspectives. I am saying this because we're searching for a new technology that allows us to put cooling particles in the fabric. Cross your fingers for us !

Xiaomi has recently launched a number of smartphones around the world. The Chinese company is now rumored to launch Mi Max 3. It will be the successor of Mi Max 2. The device is reportedly received the 3C certification in China.
Reports suggest that the phone with model number M1807E8S has been recently spotted on the 3C certification website, which is said to be Mi Max 3. It is worth mentioning that Mi Max 3 was confirmed by Xiaomi's CEO Lei Jun in May.
The handset is rumored to come up with 5500 mAh battery with fast charging. It might have a Redmi Note 5 Pro like design. The device could sport a 7-inch full HD+ display with 18:9 aspect ratio. So will it be the clone of Redmi Note 5 Pro in bigger form? Well, only time will tell.
Furthermore, Mi Max 3 is expected to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 processor with 6GB RAM. In terms of OS, the phone is likely to run on the Android 8.1 Oreo on the top of MIUI 10. The camera details of the device are not known yet.
Xiaomi has not confirmed the launch date of the Mi Max 3 yet, but it is heavily speculated to unveil by the next month in China.
Stay tuned for more tech news and updates.

$60 Thrift Store Wardrobe
28 comments:
No turning back for me now. I had a dreadful work wardrobe,things were wearing out form being so old, not fitting. Knowing I wanted to lose weight, I also didn't want to spend much so found two pairs of dress pants, a skirt, a cami, and along silkyish t-shirt for under $20. I also nabbed three pairs of shorts for the gross sum of $7.50. These with using some Kohls cash for super cheap shirts, refreshed my wardrobe. I hope (plan) to revamp my wardrobe again come fall with clothes a few sizes smaller.ReplyDeleteReplies
It certainly is a motivator when things start fitting better. I haven't been the weight I am today for about 8 or 9 years!Delete
Those are some great looking clothes you found!ReplyDelete
You are amazing! I love it all and don't think you could have picked any prettier pieces at the in department stores! Now we need to see YOU modeling some of them!ReplyDelete
Good job!!!Replies
Maybe on our holiday lolDelete
Pretty much all I own is second hand :) Funny, the black/white tunic with sparkly neckline is almost identical to one I bought with a gift card :) to wear with black tights on my birthday. Great minds think alike! You did well!ReplyDeleteReplies
I am pretty sure that one came from the Bay originally. I can pick out the items in my closet that I bought new - most are shoes, the odd thing that is well over 7-8 years old. Almost 80% is from the thrift store thoughDelete
You did a great job finding steals! I typically shop a few times/year (maybe 1-2), and have specific price points in mind for replacement items. I'm also a little picky about jeans. I've never been much of a thrift store shopper, but you are showing me it's worth checking out.ReplyDeleteReplies
I am picky about jeans too, still looking for some of those. I have specific things in mind too, next I need some sweaters for fall (summer's a great time to be looking for them)Delete
I love all those tops how fab to find them via thrifting. I don't know if it's where I live but I never have any luck in our charity shops the stuff looks old and just not my thing. I think it's probably me I just don't have the eye or the patience to wade through stuff. I need to cultivate some patience I think lolReplyDeleteReplies
I love it is why I do it but sometimes I walk away with nothing. I usually thrift about 1 or 2 times a week and 10 minutes at a time, only to see what new stock they have in. There is still lots of crud there, just have to wade through it.Delete
I buy all my clothes, except shoes, jammies and underthings from thrift stores. At this point, I don't think I could buy full price retail ever again. I always find good quality name brand stuff too. You picked out some really nice things. Fabulous!ReplyDeleteReplies
I agree, I have difficulty shopping retail now, only do so for underthings, jammies and unfortunately shoes as I rarely find decent shoes at the thrift store that meet my super-comfortable requirement. I am too old to wear bad shoes anymoreDelete
You are very fortunate to have such a lovely selection at decent prices. We live in a smallish town in Arizona (45,000), but the prices at the one thrift store and Goodwill rival and exceed regular-priced retail items. I was really amazed at the prices. I usually shop mail order from Sierra Trading Post and LL Bean-type stores, and have been happy with their sale prices - I don't buy at full price from them. The longevity of their products has been great.ReplyDelete
Virtual hugs,
Our 3 towns (called Comox Valley, all are very close together towns of Comox, Courtenay and Cumberland) total 40,00 but we have about 10 thrift stores and an extremely active buy/sell site on facebook. For many years this area had little employment so people got used to thrift store shopping hence the popularity. Now things are a little better but the thrift stores do a thriving business. The charity ones are still very reasonable and that is where I do most of my shopping. There is a for-profit Value Village thrift store where prices are much higher, I hate it there and only go if I am looking for something specific that I can't get anywhere else as they have a huge storeDelete
I meant population of 40,000Delete
I have no patience for wading thru the crud and trying to find something in my size. Even shopping at a retail store is a pain. I do love that silk blouse, almost impossible to find silk these days.ReplyDeleteReplies
I have another silk blouse I bought at the thrift store, Jones of New York a couple of years ago. You would think silk would regain popularity since it is a renewable resource like bamboo clothing. Anyway, I love it and will continue to buy it. Thrifting is my hobby though, you kind of have to like it to find the good stuff :)Delete
I love thrift stores and most of my wardrobe cane from various shops. Love your choices. 💝ReplyDelete
I work in a small charity thrift shop a few hours a week and I love it. We don't have a lot of place and only hang up clothes that are really good. All the rest goes to recycling or other charities. Customers know that and appreciate it that they don't have to go through endless racks of mediocre to find that one special item. Every time I put something in the racks that makes me say wow and someone takes it out ten minutes later and takes it to check out is such a wonderful feeling too!ReplyDeleteReplies
I love the thrill of the hunt, even if I have to dig. Sometimes they price the really nice stuff higher but still definitely a bargain.Delete
Sure some people don't mind the larger shops. But many also prefer us because we're non-profit. But in the end all re-use is good. Needless to say I don't own any new retail bought clothing. You know my blog and a lot what I have is even from trash.Delete
Wow! Great pieces! In my size I only see really worn pieces in thrift shops.....ReplyDeleteReplies
For whatever reason our towns have great thrift stores. I am so lucky that wayDelete
Some fab finds here especially the last two blouses!ReplyDelete
Why buy new when you can find so much good stuff second hand? Better still, you don't run the risk of bumping into someone else wearing the same thing!
With the exception of a bikini, sandals and a sunhat both Jon & I's Greece wardrobes are all secondhand (yes, we've finally booked it, 26 days to go!) xxxReplies
Woohoo! Good for you guys, you work so hard you deserve it. Yes, my bathing suit was new but I bought it 2 years ago. Like underwear I prefer to buy those new.Delete

Happy Birthday from Leonard Bernstein & Igor Stravinsky
I have just listened to the finished version of the new Maestro Classics' CD/MP3 download: The Soldier's Tale ("L'Histoire du Soldat") by Stravinsky, so it seemed very fitting that I was sent this video as a birthday card. I also encourage you to listen to the Aaron Copland "Happy Birthday" link that you can find there. Two American composers, each applying their very different styles to a tune we all know and love.

L'utilisation du contrôle des aboiements à jet de base Anti-Bark Spray Collar PetSafe® est très simple. Lorsque le microphone détecte l'aboiement de votre chien, le collier déclenche une pulvérisation, que les chiens trouvent très désagréable. Bien que ce spray ne soit pas dangereux, c'est un moyen dissuasif suffisant pour empêcher les aboiements excessifs.
I have purchased approximately 10 of these collars over the last six years and have found that everyone has a problem with refilling the gas after a few months, hence the purchase of so many. Is it possible to replace the refill jet?
> PetSafe Response: Hello Susan, we'll contact you directly to see if we can help find a solution for you to have this working again very soon. Although the refill valve is not available as a spare part, sometimes the small black rubber O ring can go missing which is essential to refilling. Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback.
We have a Labrador that would bark when we left him alone so we bought a pet safe anti bark spray collar well we are amazed he has completely stopped barking now I was sceptic when I bought it but it is definitely worth its money I would recommend it
> PetSafe Response: Hi Melissa, wow what a fantastic review! Thank you so much for taking the time to post this. We love the Basic Spray Bark Control Collar too are so happy it has helped to stop your very own bark machine! Now you still have a fantastic dog just a little quieter, win win win :)
My Irish Water Spaniel has always been afraid of confrontation which meant if someone came towards us while we were out walking her she would bark and bark (in her mind to stop anyone approaching her). This was worrying if the approaching people are either afraid of dogs or were children. We tried everything including expensive personal dog trainer. We tried the Petsafe citronella collar and got immediate results so have used it in conjunction with training command (either a ssssh or NO or baaahh at the first signs of a bark) and now we only the carry the collar in case - tucked in my pocket. Brilliant and safe product. Numerous people have asked us about it and we have recommended it to everyone.
> PetSafe Response: Hi Mary, what a wonderful review! We are thrilled that our Anti-Bark Spray Collar has proved so successful for you and your Irish Water Spaniel. It's just lovely to think you both have a renewed confidence and all because of our Anti-Bark Spray Collar. Thank you for your brilliant review and also for recommending our collar to others, it really means a lot to us :)

A few days ago, we shared an image from Ridley Scott's upcoming film ALIEN: COVENANT that showed the crew of the space ship Covenant traipsing through a location that didn't look all that pleasant. Now, thanks to Empire, we have another image that shows the crew's landing spot on a planet they have been lured to by a distress beacon.
The previous image was captioned "Paradise", but this one is much more paradisiacal.
Written by Michael Green, Jack Paglen, and John Logan, ALIEN: COVENANT is a sequel to PROMETHEUS and a prequel to ALIEN. It's about what happens when
the crew of the colony ship Covenant, bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise, but is actually a dark, dangerous world. When they uncover a threat beyond their imagination, they must attempt a harrowing escape.
Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup, Danny McBride, Demián Bichir, Carmen Ejogo, Amy Seimetz, Jussie Smollett, Callie Hernandez, Nathaniel Dean, Alexander England, Benjamin Rigby, James Franco, and Noomi Rapace star. Guy Pearce might make an appearance as well.
ALIEN: COVENANT is scheduled to reach theatres on May 19th.

Washer doesn't agitate, but fills & spins.
My washer fills according to the set water level. Not agitate & after a while, drains & spins. This cycle goes on couple of times until the dial comes to the " off" position. I hear the sound of the timer and a click time to time. No humming in the motor in between. Can anyone help me to identify the problem. Thank you.
Es esta una buena pregunta?
Thank you so much for your advice. I disassembled agitator and that gear case. All the parts looked fairly good. So I reassembled and add new gearcase oil. My washer started working again.
Great! Not sure how much wear it got. They usually don't need added oil, keep an eye on it, watch for oil on clothes. The agitator kits are fairly inexpensive.

MUSKOGEE, a city and the county-seat of Muskogee county, Oklahoma, U.S.A.; about 3 M. W. by S. of the confluence of the Verdigris, Neosho (or Grand) and Arkansas rivers, and about 130 M. E.N.E. of Oklahoma City. Pop. (1900), 4154; (1907), 14,418, of whom 4298 were negroes and 332 Indians; (1910), 25,278. It is served by the St Louis & San Francisco, the Midland Valley, the Missouri, Kansas & Texas, and the Missouri, Oklahoma & Gulf railways. Fort Gibson (pop.-in9so, 1344), about 5 M. N.E. on the Neosho, near its confluence with the Arkansas, is the head of steam-boat navigation of the Arkansas; if is the site of a former government fort and of a national cemetery. Muskogee is. the seat of Spaulding Institute (M.E. Church, South) and Nazareth Institute (Roman Catholic), and at Bacone, about 2 M. north-east, is Indian University (Baptist, opened 1884). ^ Muskogee is the commercial centre of an agricultural and stock-raising region, is surrounded by an oil and natural gas field of considerable extent producing a high grade of petroleum, and has a large oil refinery, railway shops (of the Midland Valley and the Missouri, Oklahoma & Gulf railways), cotton gins, cotton compresses, and cotton-seed oil and flour mills. The municipality owns and operates the water-works, the water supply being drawn from the Neosho river. Muskogee was founded about 187o, and became the chief town of the Creek Nation (Muskogee) and the metropolis and administrative centre of the former Indian Territory, being the headquarters of the Union Indian Agency to the Five Civilized Tribes, of the United States (Dawes) Commission to the Five Civilize& Tribes, and of a Federal land office for the allotment of lands to the Creeks and Cherokees, and the seat of a Federal Court. The city was chartered in 1898; its area was enlarged in 1908, increasing its population. MUSK-OX, also known as musk-buffalo and musk-sheep, an Arctic American ruminant of the family Bovidae (q.v.), now representing a genus and sub-family by itself. Apparently the musk-ox (Ovibos moschatus) has little or no near relation-ship to either the oxen or the sheep; and it is not improbable that its affinities are with the Asiatic takin (Budorcas) and the extinct European Criotherium of the Pliocene of Samos. The musky odour from which the animal takes its name does not appear to be due to the secretion of any gland. In height a bull musk-ox stands about 5 ft. at the shoulder. The head is large and broad. The horns in old males have extremely broad bases, meeting in the middle line, and covering the brow and crown of the head. They are directed at first downwards by the side of the face, and then turn upwards and forwards, ending in the same plane as the eye. The basal half is dull white, oval in section and coarsely fibrous, the middle part smooth, shining and round, and the tip black. In females and young males the horns are smaller, and their bases separated by a space in the middle of the forehead. The ears are small, erect, pointed, and nearly concealed in the hair. The space between the nostrils and the upper lip is covered with short dose hair, as in sheep and goats, without any trace of the bare muzzle of oxen. The greater part of the animal is covered with long brown hair, thick, matted and curly on the shoulders, so as to give the appearance of a hump, but elsewhere straight and hanging down—that of the sides, back and haunches reaching as far as the middle of the legs and entirely concealing the very short tail. There is also a thick woolly under-fur, shed in summer, when the whole coat comes off in blanket-like masses. The hair on the lower jaw, throat and chest is long and straight, and hangs down like a beard or dewlap,, thoggb there is no loose fold of skin in this situation. The limbs are stout and short, terminating in unsymmetrical hoofs, the external being rounded, the internal pointed, and the sole partially covered with hair. Musk-oxen at the present day are confined to the most northern parts of North America, where they range over the rocky Barren Grounds between lat. 64° and the shores of the Arctic Sea. Its southern range is gradually contracting, and it appears that it is no longer met with west of the Mackenzie river, though formerly abundant as far as Eschscholtz Bay. The Musk-ox (Ovibos moschatus). Northwards and eastwards it extends through the Parry Islands and Grinnell Land to north Greenland, reaching on the west coast as far south as Melville Bay; and it also occurs at Sabine Island on the east coast. The Greenland animal is a distinct race (O. m. wardi), distinguished by white hair on the forehand; and it is suggested that the one from Grinnell Land forms a third race. As proved by the discovery of fossil remains, musk-oxen ranged during the Pleistocene period over northern Siberia and the plains of Germany and France, their bones occurring in river-deposits along with those of the rein-deer, mammoth, and woolly rhinoceros. They have also been found in Pleistocene gravels in several parts of England, as Maidenhead, Bromley, Freshfield near Bath, Barnwood near Gloucester, and in the brick-earth of the Thames valley at Cray-ford, Kent; while their remains also occur in Arctic America. Musk-oxen are gregarious in habit, assembling in herds of twenty or thirty head, or sometimes eighty or a hundred, in which there are seldom more than two or three full-grown males. They run with considerable speed, notwithstanding the shortness of their legs. They feed chiefly on grass, but also on moss, lichens and tender shoots of the willow and pine. The female brings forth one young in the end of May or beginning of June, after a gestation of nine months. The Swedish expedition to Greenland in 1899 found musk-oxen in herds of varying size some contained only a few individuals, and in one case there were sixty-seven.' The peculiar musky odour was perceived from a distance of a hundred yards; but according to Professor Nathorst there was no musky taste or smell in the flesh if the carcase were cleaned immediately the animals were killed. Of late years musk-oxen have been exhibited alive in Europe; and two examples, one of which lived from 1899 till 1903, have been brought to England. The somewhat imperfect skull of an extinct species of musk-ox from the gravels of the Klondike has enabled Mr W. H. Osgood to make an important addition to our knowledge of this remarkable type of ruminant. The skull, which is probably that of a female, differs from the ordinary musk-ox by the much smaller and shorter horn-cores, which are widely separated in the middle line of the skull, where there is a groove-like depression running the whole length of the forehead. The sockets of the eyes are also much less prominent, and the whole fore-part of the skull is proportionately longer. On account of these and other differences (for which the reader may refer to the original paper, published in vol. xlviii• of the Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections)its describer refers the Klondike skull to a new genus, with the title Symbos tyrrelli, the specific name being given in honour of its discoverer. This, however, is not all, for Mr Osgood points out that a skull discovered many years ago in the vicinity of Fort Gibson, Oklahoma, and then named Ovibos or Bootherium cavifrons, evidently belongs to the same genus. That skull indicates a bull, and the author suggests that it may possibly be the male of Symbos tyrrelli, although the wide separation of the localities made him hesitate to accept this view. Perhaps it would have been better had he done so, and taken the name Symbos cavifrons for the species. A third type of musk-ox skull is, however, known from North America, namely one from the celebrated Big-Bone Lick, Kentucky, on which the genus and species Bootherium bombifrons was established, which differs from all the others by its small size, convex forehead and rounded horn-cores, the latter being very widely separated, and arising from the sides of the skull. This specimen has been regarded as the female of Symbos cavifrons; but this view, as pointed out by Mr Osgood, is almost certainly incorrect, and it represents an entirely distinct form. This, however, is not the whole of the past history of the musk-ox group; and in this connexion it may be mentioned that palaeontological discoveries are gradually making it evident that the poverty of America in species of horned ruminants is to a great extent a feature of the present day, and that in past times it possessed a considerable number of representatives of this group. One of the latest additions to the list is a large sheep-like animal from a cave in California, apparently representing a new generic type, which has been described by E. L. Furlong in the publications of the University of California, under the name of Preptoceras sinclairi. It is represented by a nearly complete skeleton, and has doubly-curved horns and sheep-like teeth. In common with an allied ruminant from the same district, previously described as Euceratherium, it seems probable that Preptoceras is related on the one hand to the musk-ox, and on the other to the Asiatic takin, while it is also supposed to have affinities with the sheep. If these extinct forms really serve to connect the takin with the musk-ox, their systematic importance will be very great. From a geographical point of view nothing is more likely, for the takin forms a type confined to Eastern Asia (Tibet and Szechuen), and it would be reasonable to expect that, like so many other peculiar forms from the same region, they should have representatives on the American side of the Pacific. (R. L. *) MUSK-RAT, or MUSQUASH, the name of a large North American rat-like rodent mammal, technically known as Fiber zibethicus, and belonging to the mouse-tribe (Muridae). Aquatic in habits, this animal is related to the English water-rat and therefore included in the sub-family Microtinae (see VOLE). It is, however, of larger size, the head and body being about i2 in. in length and the tail but little less. It is rather a heavily-built animal, with a broad head, no distinct neck, and short limbs, the eyes are small, and the ears project very little beyond the fur. The fore-limbs have four toes and a rudimentary thumb, all with claws; the hind limbs are larger, with five distinct toes, united by short webs at their bases. The tail is laterally compressed, nearly naked, and scaly. The hair much resembles that of a beaver, but is shorter; it consists of a thick soft under-fur, interspersed with longer stiff, glistening hairs, which overlie and conceal the former, on the upper surface and sides of the The Musk-rat (Fiber zibethicus). body. The general colour is dark umber-brown, almost black on the back and grey below. The tail and naked parts of the feet are black. The musky odour from which it derives its name is due to the secretion of a large gland situated in the inguinal region, and present in both sexes. The ordinary musk-rat is one of several species of a genus peculiar to America, where it is distributed in suitable localities in the northern part of the continent, extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the Rio Grande to the barren grounds bordering the Arctic seas. It lives on the shores of lakes and rivers, swimming and diving with facility, feeding on the roots, stems and leaves of water-plants, or on fruits and vegetables which grow near the margin of the streams it inhabits. Musk-rats are most active at night, spending the greater part of the day concealed in their burrows in the bank, which consist of a chamber with numerous passages, all of which open under the surface of the water. For winter quarters they build more elaborate houses of conical or dome-like form, composed of sedges, grasses and similar materials plastered together with mud. As their fur is an important article of commerce, large numbers are annually killed, being either trapped or speared at the mouths of their holes. (See also RODENTIA.) MUSK-SHREW, a name for any species of the genus Crocidura of the family Soricidae (see INsECTIVORA). The term is generally used of the common grey musk-shrew (C. coerulea) of India. Pr Dobson believed this to be a semi-domesticated variety of the brown musk-shrew (C. murina), which he considered the original wild type. The head and body of a full-grown specimen measure about 6 in.; the tail is rather more than half that length; and bluish-grey is the usual colour of the fur, which is paler on the under surface. Dr Blanford states that the story of wine or beer becoming impregnated with a musky taint in consequence of this shrew passing over the bottles, is less credited in India than formerly owing to the discovery that liquors bottled in Europe and exported to India are not liable to be thus tainted.End of Article: MUSKOGEE

If you think Reserve Component deployments are a thing of the past, think again. While mobilizations have reduced since the height of Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom, there are still more than 24,000 Guard and Reserve Service members currently mobilized.
With continuing instability and conflict occurring around the world, as well as projected decreases in military spending, America's reliance on the RC Force will continue to be emphasized in the coming years. This is why Heidi Boyd-Rice, the newly appointed Director of the Office for Reintegration Programs, has made a renewed commitment to expanding the tools and resources available to the National Guard and Reserve community.
"The past 15 years has been exhaustive on our troops, and it has also taken a toll on our employers, spouses, children, and communities alike," said Boyd-Rice. "And that's one of the primary reasons why we're here and why our initiatives exist."
Since 9/11, more than 918,000 activations have been supported by the National Guard and Reserve — many of these activations have been fulfilled by Service members who have deployed numerous times.
"When we talk about our national security, we're simultaneously talking about the readiness of our RC Force in being able to deploy during times of crisis and emergency," she said. "If Guardsman and Reservists aren't prepared for deployment and don't get the help they need when they return and reintegrate back into their civilian lives, then we face the degradation of our RC Force's ability to respond in the future when we need them the most."
"Deployments are tough on everyone," she said. "It can be tough on the family, on the employer, and on the community."
For Boyd-Rice, being in a state of readiness isn't so much a philosophical view as much as it is a practical approach. It means building a supportive relationship with employers, addressing combat-related health issues before or as soon as they are discovered, being financially stable and secure, and maintaining strong family relationships during repeated deployments.
"We do this in a lot of ways," she said. "We connect them with resources, bring organizations together to explain benefits and entitlements, and we directly help thousands of Service members and their families build resumes, connect with employers, and find jobs."
Since 2008, ORP's Yellow Ribbon Reintegration Program and Hero2Hired have served more than 1.5 million National Guard and Reserve Service members and their families across the country.
"On top of our events, we have 56 Employment Coordinators, at least one in each state, that have directly assisted more than 25,000 Guardsmen and Reservists in finding employment," she said.
"Our greatest asset is our people," said Boyd-Rice. "They are not an expense, but rather, they are an investment in the security and well-being of our Nation."
Heidi Boyd-Rice has worked in a variety of roles within the Federal Government for more than twenty years, including serving as principle advisor to the Director of Defense Human Resources Activity and the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness. She provided policy and program support for a number of DoD-wide policies, including countering trafficking in persons, Social Security number reduction, identity management, identification card issuance, and benefits and entitlements to military members and their families.

Blue and White Weekend 2008
Blue and White weekend was a wonderful experience to have had the pleasure of attending for the most part. Some of the things I witnessed though seem to be questions that need to be answered. Here in North Carolina when we see soror or frat, we speak, we hug, grip whatever you want to do…but we just don't walk by with out any recognition at all. It seemed to run rampant at the hotels, and the events, everything. It seemed like people were more focused on their chapters than on the actual organizations. I know that I'm not a very social person but dang, I even would speak to people. It seemed to me it was all about whatever region, coast, state, or something you were from. Where was the unity, if we are the only constitutionally bound organization why can't we all just get along? Why did I witness sorors fighting in the parking lot, frat arguing over stupid stuff, and so much more examples of why we are not unified? Another thing that I know that I was taught was that you respect the people who came before you, if you sitting in the front seat and frat from the 90's comes along for the ride your just made behind better get up and move on to the back. I felt bad for the old heads that were there to see how there respective organizations were being represented. I saw so many things that my old heads would have slapped me in the mouth for (not in the literal sense, non hazing org). Why would you be trying to advertise your ass, and or penis at the various events that were held? Where was the finerwomanhood and brotherhood, it had clearly been left at home during last week. Another thing that irked all of my nerves was the way frat was treating sorors. We are not the meat department of your local Harris Teeter; you don't just grab a piece test it then throws it back in for another pack. What the hell is wrong with yall, just because we are your sisters doesn't mean you get a free pass to have sex with us. Is it really that hard to respect us as women first, then as your soror, and not as a cutty buddy? Do you know how many times I heard frat saying look at that ass, man I'd love to taste that, oh man if only you knew the things I would do to you. I'm not saying that all of my frat was all about getting some booty while they were at Blue and White but most were. I met a lot of respectable bruhs, one for instance was a dentist not once did he try to cop a feel or try to get the panties, I met Mr. Page 110 of Ebony (I'm just playing) one of the most eligible bachelors Douglas Moore Jr. He was so nice and sincere in person, it was nice being around a person you can have an actual conversation with even though I was picking on him most of the time. He was respectable and just about enjoying himself. I hope you don't mind frat that I put your name all up in my note like that. When you look at it though you can't really blame it all on frat, because sorors had to be willing to put themselves in the situation to begin with so all of this could happen. Why were people acting like we were in the freaking playboy mansion, it seemed like every where you turned there were orgies about to happen. I know the first night I got there I wanted to go home so bad, that one of my friends was going to buy me a bus ticket home. I know everyone comes down to Florida to have fun but can we respect ourselves in the process. Why did frat come up to me at the pajama party/swim suit party and tell me my breast was out and then proceed to try to pull my top down. I was like Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. Didn't your mother teach you better than that; you wouldn't do your real sister like so don't that the mess to me either. Oh yea P.S. third floor this is for you DISCRETION is the KEY. Now everything at Blue and white was not a disappointment. I thoroughly enjoyed bonding with my blue and white LS Akeera; we were like some conjoined twins out there. I enjoyed the people I rode with to Florida. I want to thank Martin for putting up with all of our drama and craziness while on the trip. You didn't have to do it, you didn't have to plan the trip, you didn't have to do a lot but you did it anyway, and I really respect you for that. I enjoyed being around Tyrone "where the liquor store is, Tequila??" or "Hey Taint" lmao, man you had us all rolling. I enjoyed sleeping on the floor every night oh how exciting >:O, or how it felt like hell during the day time and Antarctica in the Hotel room. LA frat you guys were crazy, I'm mad you had shirts for every occasion though. We not even going to speak on the 3rd floor that was the floor for pure madness. Special shout out to my girls Vic, Samantha, and Akeera all three of you are a trip. I don't think I could have made it if you three wouldn't have been there. I would like to tell my frat that was wearing the cowboy hat with no shirt on, *steps on soap box* you are sexy lol *steps off*. There were so many fun times that need reliving, luggage falling off of the truck into the highway, bathroom stops on I-95, the bathroom that had a makeshift curtain in the stall trying to make it look a window, the adventures Ty went through for some chips, dip, and orange Gatorade, bad road signs how you going to say no left no right but the road is one way, walking around after the party for like an hour trying to find Ty after his Wal-Mart adventure, hearing people ask are you with those Blue Nigga yeah they said them blue niggas, or the high school girls at the pool party asking us were we with them girls in which she proceeded to throw up the sign, or the other girl saying are you a Zigma. How we couldn't get a key card to go get some food, frat that was playing the violin you doing big things, when computer games come on you BETTER move out the way of get stomped on. I had fun seeing frat from NC, I somewhat missed you guys well at least some of you (jk). Frat crazy ass pretending to be drunk/sleep so he could listen to my argument…thanks for what you told me afterward cause you was right it wasn't worth me getting upset at all : ) Foxtrot that negro lol. Arkansas (hey Robert) frat thanks for helping your soror out because we was going to be some wet blankets that last night otherwise, but then the party turned out to be kinda wack.

Facts get forgotten, whereas stories get repeated.
That simple sentence is worth remembering next time you think about writing some web copy, brochure text, email content or case study.
But that doesn't mean that a gripping story will necessarily result in a flood of new clients.
Yes, your prose may have moved them, it may have captivated them and they may have enjoyed your story. But your strategy didn't work because they didn't buy, get in touch or sign up.
Using storytelling to influence others in your copy isn't as easy as it sounds. If you want to influence people and get them to take an action, there are a few things you must get right.
If you're going to use a story, make sure it's relevant to your goal.
If not, yes, your reader will get a great story, but they won't 'get' what it has to do with your company or the action that you're asking them to take at the end.
What's more, if you find yourself having to explain the tenuous link at the end, it's not right. It should be obvious from the outset why you're telling it.
There must be an instant connection between your story and your company.
You've probably read enough novels over the years to know there are some seriously boring stories out there.
To capture your reader's imagination and to get them to take an action, your story must grab them from the off. That means making sure all the elements of a good yarn are there: a beginning, a conflict, climax and the end.
What's important?
Paying attention to every word you write will help you strengthen your story. There's no room for sentiment it the world of marketing, so when reading through each paragraph ask yourself whether it contributes anything to the overall message – if the answer is 'no' cut it.
You have to be brutal to be effective.
The final thing to think about is the length of your story. Too short and you may miss the point, too long and your audience may doze off. As a guide, make sure your story takes up no more than half of your copy. Any more than that and it can begin to dilute the effectiveness of your message.
Do you use storytelling?
If so, how have you used it and what has the effect been?

HR Branding — Human Resources in the competitive global industries
As a part of the marketing engine, HR branding is a fairly new concept, at least in Indian organisations. The development and management of the vital assets of any organisation – its people – needs pre-emptive care and methods. This will ensure reliability on these people, assurance of their service quality and synergy in inter-department teamwork. Internal and external communication to existing employees and potential candidates is the medium to leverage a company's profile while ensuring cultural fitment and brand value adherence.
Traditional Role of HR:
Traditionally the HR department was responsible for recruitment, payroll and performance appraisals with other ad hoc responsibilities relating to the employees. The HR and Marketing departments were clearly demarcated and each unit specialised in their role. The HR team was not expected to "sell the brand" to its people or clients. And the Marketing team was not expected to attract employees or other talent. Over the past 10 years, with growing speed and network of communication tools, it is expected that organisations make the best of any contact with clients, customers, or potential candidates for a job.
Corporate Branding:
Branding is accepted as a norm for all competitive companies. Establishment of a corporate agenda, a value system and social role is communicated via the brand image marketed by the public relations machinery. Now the trend is to make all functions of an organisation participate more actively in voicing this brand image. It is assumed to be a joint responsibility to promote, protect and project the corporate values as declared by the leadership. "The 4 Ps of Marketing" (product, price, position and promotion) applies to branding as well. This needs to be adapted to people management as well.
HR Branding:
With growing global operations and larger markets, organisations need to manage their employees such as to educate them to make them brand ambassadors for their corporation. "The 4 Ps of HR" are People, Pay, Position and Prospects. This is derived from the Marketing concept mentioned in previous paragraph. Since an organisation's employees are the key enablers of all projects and functions, it is vital that they incorporate the branding strategy in their tasks.
Here the HR department has to take ownership of enabling the employees as employee management is their primary portfolio. Thus an HR Manager needs to market the brand to its people, structure compensation accordingly, find relevant job roles and promise benefits in line with corporate growth. In some cases, the target is internal and in other cases it is external people.
The branding involves several initiatives to inform, involve and educate the employees about the leadership strategy and market/ industry status of an organisation. Some of the methods can be briefly summarised as given below:
Internal Communication tools: Intranet webpages, newsletters, notice boards, email circulars, etc are common enough in most modern offices. Using these existing tools, the HR Manager can extend his support by employee grievances resolved online or promoting new policy initiatives or promoting success stories of teams/ individuals, etc. This is also useful to bring together ideas and innovations in people management. Various corporate projects and CSR activities can gain momentum simply through effective communication through such channels. The focus should be on involvement and interactivity. Welcoming feedback and acting on them is important to know what the people need or desire.
External Communication: This is not restricted to the traditional Marketing team alone. Every HR personnel who is communicating with a potential candidate or even an ex-employee needs to uphold the brand values and promote them in their official communications. As a representative of the company the HR team needs to effectively voice the brand image and present the company and its people in positive light. Co-operation with Marketing and Finance departments is also essential in executing such measures. This will include communication in recruitment drives, campus interviews, online and print media job listings, internet websites, etc.
Talent Management: Facilitation for employee development is a must. The HR Manager needs to develop his resources so as to make them feel valued and trusted and hence trained for further responsibilities. While doing this the by-product is that the organisation soon has a skilled, experienced workforce who believe in the corporate strategy/ agenda and thus are role-models for others. Soon the organisation gets renowned for its employee management and retention capabilities.
Credibility and Catalysts: The HR branding should build credibility in the leadership and should act as a catalyst for employee engagement and participation. This involves upholding the Mission Statement and ensuring that the employees are part of any restructuring or policy changes.
Final medium: Most Marketing executives will also agree that the only new medium/ channel left for reaching customers and potential clients is the average employee of the organisation. The workforce has various people in front-end and back-end who interact or deal with customers and hence affect the business. An HR Manager, being a people manager, needs to leverage this last communication channel to further build the brand by improving a customer's contact experience with the organisation.
Living the Brand Values:
Experiences of both – a customer and an employee – affect a corporate brand. Both can be influenced by HR branding through employee enablement. Therefore, by changing an employee's experience with the organisation you also change a customer's experience with the brand. This is how the HR Manager effects "HR Branding".
Focus on "Living the Values" is important for such branding. The employee's participation in such change of work culture influences the team, inter-department activities, the various functions of the organisation and thus causes an outward wave trickling down to the customer or vendor. The belief and faith in such corporate agenda comes with effective promotion of brand image to these marketing elements. And this adherence to "the Mission" will ensure effective branding. The HR Manager needs to remember that all this depends on the people's perception of the organisation and not his own tinted view. Hence he needs to listen and learn from them as much as tell and educate them.
The HR machinery succeeds when every employee is living the brand values and hence advertising the brand image wherever he works and whomever he interacts with.

It was a long break from acting, considering the fact that it has been 9 months now that she gave a shot for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Guzaarish opposite co-star Hrithik Roshan. Well, This time, Aishwarya is shooting for the much anticipated Madhur Bhandarkar's movie "Heroine". It is special in many ways, but what i like the most challenging is that the film production is supposed to be wrapped in just 45 days. Phew! That will take some hard work. I hope

During 2003, Duncan Clough, a Grade 11 student from Bishops Diocesan College, a high school in Cape Town, was exploring Viviani's Theorem, which says that the sum of distances of a point to the sides of an equilateral triangle is constant. Using dynamic geometry software, he then discovered (but could not himself prove) the following interesting variation of Viviani's theorem.
Clough's Theorem: Label the feet of the altitudes from an arbitrary point P inside an equilateral triangle ABC to the sides AB, BC, AC respectively as PC, PA, PB, then APC + BPA + CPB is constant. (Drag point P in the sketch, or B or C to change the size or orientation of the triangle.)

If you have the very latest Java on your PC or Apple Mac, and experience problems with the applets loading, please go here for additional information on Java settings or using a Java Converter that should resolve the issue.
Clough's Theorem (a variation of Viviani)
Can you logically explain (prove) why the result is true? Can you find different explanations (proofs)?
Exploring Some Generalizations
Viviani's Theorem generalizes to polygons that are equilateral or equi-angled, or to 2n-gons with opposite sides parallel - see for example, 2D Generalizations of Viviani's Theorem. Can you similarly generalize Clough's Theorem to these higher polygons? See Further generalizations of Clough's Theorem.
Some Proofs
1) Read my ICME 12 Regular Lecture in Korea in July 2012, published in Pythagoras, An illustration of the explanatory and discovery functions of proof for various proofs of the above.
2) Read the 2012 proof of Clough's Theorem by Shailesh Shirali from India in the mathematics education journal "At Right Angles" at: Viviani's Theorem and a Cousin.
3) Clough's Theorem was used as a problem in the first round of the British Mathematical Olympiad of of 2013/2014. Read one of the proofs produced by students, which was similar to the following very short and elegant one, kindly sent to me in 2015 by Gregoire Nicollier from Switzerland at: Clough's Theorem: The Simplest Proof.

China as a Communist State
The People's Republic of China is an active communist state. In a communist state, in this case, China, the government controls the economy, and a single party holds power. Unlike democracies, like the United States, China has a single party system. This single party system allows the government to focus on more long-term goals and not just winning the next election like most politicians in democracies do. The one party system makes China more efficient in the long run and ensures that the government is doing things to better the nation and not just to make sure they get re-elected.
China's Oligarchy
China's government, by definition, is an oligarchy. Oligarchies can be aggressively tyrannical or peaceful. China's government is a relatively peaceful one. An oligarchy is when one group of people holds government power. The group of people that obtain political power could be chosen by their level of education, their wealth, their bloodline, or the military control. China, in particular, is an aristocracy, meaning it is run by a group of people based on their superiority. The Chinese aristocracy, in particular, is led by an elite class of individuals. While the corruption of power by money is common in oligarchies, China's elite are not immune from the law. Because the elite people in China are not immune from the law, the amount of corruption that occurs could be limited.
Revolutions reforming the Government
In 1949, there was a revolution in China that did lead to a big social change but not very much political change. Socially, China had changed because the government began taking property from the middle class and made it property for public use. Politically, the Chinese government continued to be based on the Stalinist bureaucracy that was in the Soviet Union. This type of government repressed any form of workers' democracy for China. As time went on, the anti-Marxist perspective that China had led to an economic unproductivity and in the 1970s, the Chinese Communist party was looking for ways to solve the issue and merge China back into global capitalism.

Beagle Freedom Project is pursuing a legislative strategy in
Minnesota that would be a first of its kind law in the country (and world).
Our bill asks that any research facility that receives state funding (or
works with companies that do) offer up all the dogs and cats to rescues at
the termination of the experiment (if they are not killed in the process).
The bill passed unanimously through the State Senate and is currently before
the conference committee. Thank you to everyone who made phone calls or
wrote emails and letters! The bill met little resistance, as it should be
seen as a non-controversial proposal. Who could argue against giving these
animals a chance at a normal life after all they have suffered through for
human products?
Minnesota was our test run and BFP fully intends to pursue this same
legal mandate in several other states in the next legislative session! We
are gearing up now and will put out a call for help in the near future.
Beagle Freedom Project has formed a professional partnership with the
Unite to CARE to conduct rescue missions and outreach events in England
(and Europe). Unite to CARE was formed only a couple months ago to attempt
negotiations with the British drug giant, AstraZeneca, as they were closing
down their Swedish facility and recycling their 300 beagles into more
experiments. Since then Unite has joined BFP to extend this proposal to
every laboratory.
Every laboratory in the UK that still uses dogs is being invited to
voluntarily work with the Beagle Freedom Project retirement. Just as we did
here in the US, a letter detailing our proposal is being sent to each and we
will be following this up with a more personal plea. There exists a strong
possibility this will result in the retirement of many dogs, whom otherwise
would simply be euthanized.
BFP and Unite are also gearing up for a strong push in Parliament to
legally mandate this retirement program we have pioneered. Using the same US
legislative language we will be asking MPs in the next session (Fall 2013)
to make sure no dog, who has endured so much, ever is killed simply because
the lab does not want to work with a group to find them a home!
As many of you know our last rescue of 10 beagles from a laboratory in
the Midwest was a tough one, but a very important one. First off, these dogs
came to us after spending anywhere from 5 to almost 8 years in a laboratory.
Some were quite shell-shocked and look (and act) far older than they should.
This sort of trauma is not uncommon with laboratory dogs, but it never gets
easier to see.
While some have come out of their shells rather quickly (and learned all
the important doggie do�s and dont's � like how walk on a leash, potty
outside, look cute while begging) a couple are still bravely working on
their trust issues. Abe embodies this struggle more than any other. He is a
sweet, stoic, and handsome gentleman. We can happily report he has been
adopted with his beagle buddy Davey (they are the oldest of the group) and
are now settling into a great home. You can even track their progress on
their own Facebook page,
The new BFP T-shirt is one of the nicest yet. First off, the design is
loud and proud � no one will mistake Beagle Freedom Project for another
group! Secondly, all black � as black is the new black. Third, this shirt is
made from really soft high-quality cotton and is all hand-sewn in the US.
Very comfortable! (Please note that these t-shirts run small)
We have a limited run of these shirts, please
buy one as soon as possible!
BFP is growing faster than ever before. This week alone we are in talks
with a lab in California, three on the East Coast, and even one in the
Middle East. To sustain this work, to save more lives, and to make real
change we need your help.
In honor of World Week for Animals in Laboratories we ask - Please, if
you can, support this work and donate. ANY amount helps!

Having your windshield repaired is reasonably quick and painless but knowing what to expect will make the process smoother than it might otherwise. What can be expected when repairing a chip, bull's eye, starbreak, or any other kind of damage. The windshield repairs expert will require access to the automobile windshield from the inside as well as the outside so plan to have somebody available in St Louis, MO to unlock the auto. The specialist will inspect the damage removing any debris and thoroughly cleaning the area. Depending on the temperature where the automobile is the windshield might have to be warmed or cooled for most impressive results. Many times the damaged area must be scrupulously drilled to make certain the resin will penetrate into the crack. Once this is done the specialist will inject the resin. The resin might need to be cured by the repair person employing a UV light for a couple of minutes. Ultimately the windshield will have to be inspected both from inside and outside the auto. The windshield repair must not hinder the driver's sight or meddle with the windshield wipers in any fashion. Once all these steps have been finished you should not have to fret about the damaged area spreading and weakening the windshield. ABC Auto Glass Repair offers auto glass repair in citiy MO for over decade.
