Annotation + Mail
Annotation: Mistborn Chapter Thirty Five Part One
My email was down for about four hours today, and if you sent to me, you should have gotten an 'undeliverable' response. If you didn't, that means that I got the email. Either way, it is fixed now, so send again if it didn't go through!
I'm working furiously on my current project–only about three chapters or so left to go on it–so, I don't have a lot of time to blog today. However, I did want to mention that the Pope has gotten rid of the concept of Limbo for children who die without baptism.
This is an amazing change of doctrine, and I applaud the Catholic church for having the courage to take this move. If there really is an all-powerful, just, and loving God, then I personally have trouble with any religion that preaches damnation to those who die without a chance to listen, learn, or live good lives. Well done, Mr. Pope!

Last weekend, we very unexpectedly had the chance to go to Minnesota. I went to Minnesota for two weeks every year of my childhood, but never once was it in the winter time. Very wise on my parents' part.
The main reason for the trip was to attend my Grandmother's funeral. The incredible upside was that we got to see a lot of family. Our family is really spread out, so it was a really special time to be together. The funeral was held in my parents' hometown of Fergus Falls, MN. There's a lot of history for both families there, and all four of my grandparents are now buried there. My sister, Liz, and her daughter, Morgan, came. My sister, Kate, brought her brand new baby, Zack. And Anna brought Charlie. It's rare that the four of us were even in the same place!
The reverend that conducted the funeral was a great character. He was my grandmother's spiritual leader in the home where she lived, and I can see why she liked him. Sometimes while talking, he would spontaneously burst into song. It was great. I really enjoyed the stories shared during the funeral, especially from one of the workers where she had been living. My grandma was a sassy lady. She had a super quick wit and was always fun to be around. I didn't get up to share during the funeral, but if I had, I would have said that I laughed more and harder around her kitchen table in my grandparents' cabin than anywhere else. She also taught me what skinny dipping was. Lots of laughing then too. Mostly because I didn't know what a "birthday suit" was. I guess she taught me that too ;)
We got a police escort from the funeral home to the cemetery. Once we convinced Amos the police officer behind us was not trying to pull us over, he was thrilled. If you look closely you can see the police car in the front in this picture:
Entering the cemetery:
God bless Fergus Falls:
Graveside was short, given the arctic environment. It was SO cold. A good excuse to huddle close together though.
Kate was a good sport and rode in the back of our car:
After the funeral, we got to spend some really great time with my aunts, uncles, and cousins. They were really great to make time for us in the middle of all of the chaos. We sure enjoyed it. My aunts have my grandma's quick wit too. They always have good stories. They really should take up blogging ;)
We enjoyed sitting around the pool while the kids swam and the babies got held.
On Saturday, we got together for lunch, and had a great time. We're quite the crowd:
Ward fell asleep in Sharon's arms. It was the second time during the weekend he fell asleep in someone's arms. He'd never done that before in his life!
We managed to get a 'Shaver' sisters (minus Meg) picture too:
It was great for us to get together. It's been too long...

Colombia Pension Visa
The Colombia Pension Visa or Retirement Visa was created for retired persons receiving income from their home country. This visa is issued for 1 year at a time and must be renewed with original documents each year. 3 times minimum salary is what you must receive on a monthly income to qualify for the retirement / pension visa. $566,700 pesos is 2012 minimum salary, so you must gain $1,700,100 pesos per month. The ministry or consulates do not update they rate they use on a daily or weekly basis. The duration of this visa is one year, and after 4 years can be converted to a QUALIFIED RESIDENT VISA (AKA PERMANENT VISA).
Its important to remember that the Colombian government only likes to accept official government pension certifications like those from Social Secuity in the United States. Letters from private pension plans or savings accounts will be difficult to get approved. Please note that consulates in different locations, and/or countries look at applications differently. Developed countries may be easier "in some cases" to get approvals in when compared to poorer countries.

Redmond Garden Cottages
Redmond, Washington
Schematic design
Estimated $1.6 million
Private owner
Johnson+Southerland explored the idea of converting a suburban Redmond home and adjacent pasture into a neighbor-friendly community of cottage homes around a central green and garden.
We carried out site analysis, site planning and schematic cottage designs. The project envisioned 8-10 small cottages (800-1000 square feet each) with a future phase providing an additional 8-10 cottages connected by a p-patch garden. Planned site amenities included detached group parking, several distinct garden areas, large existing trees, a work shop and guest parking.
The project is intended to be "deep green", embracing locally sourced and recycled materials, natural ventilation and light, rainwater harvesting, green storm water infrastructure such as raingardens and food gardening as a central feature.

In addition to the new late night casino route called the Night Owl, COTA has made a few other changes.
The #26 Beechwold Express Route is no more. Launched in January 2012, it lasted 8 months before being eliminated. First, the planning of the #26 did not appear to fill much of a problem. The #34 is a similar express route but uses I-71. The #4 follows the same route as #26 but has more intermediate routes. Here's a picture of the routes:
The blue is route #4. Starting at Morse Road at the red dot, the #4 takes on a purple tone because the #26 follows the same route. The red line is the #34. Someone on Columbus Underground suggested that the #34 be extended ~500 ft along Morse Road to pick up the new riders and then return to I-71 at Cooke Road. Makes sense to me.
The second problem was that any route should have longer than 8 months to prove if its successful or not. It takes time to grow ridership and if planners are unwilling to promote a route for more than two years, they probably should look to other service improvements.
Another program which I am a fan of is the bus stop improvement which reduces the amount of bus stops. The following will be investigated during September 2012 for stop improvements:
- #1 Cleveland/Livingston
- #29 Polaris
- #35 Tamarack
- #40 New Albany
- #74 Linden LINK
The slide show also discusses the #1 Northeast Corridor Bus Rapid Transit project, but I'll save NEC BRT for another post.

By Brooke A. Ackerly
Drawing on theoretical insights from 3rd international women's activism, Political thought and Feminist Social feedback develops democratic conception as a serious idea suitable to facing actual global inequalities. Brooke Ackerly examines the tools during which actual global feminist activists have criticized society, and argues that their actions convey how feminist concept can circulate past its theoretical deadlock towards articulating social feedback with serious the teeth. Her e-book should be of curiosity to political and social theorists, and to scholars and students of women's experiences, feminism, and human rights.

Aristotle: A Very Short Introduction
The impression of Aristotle, the prince of philosophers, at the highbrow historical past of the West is moment to none. during this publication, Jonathan Barnes examines Aristotle's clinical researches, his discoveries in good judgment and his metaphysical theories, his paintings in psychology and in ethics and politics, and his principles approximately paintings and poetry, putting his teachings of their ancient context.
The Myth of Ownership: Taxes and Justice
In a capitalist financial system, taxes are an important device through which the political procedure places into perform a perception of monetary and distributive justice. Taxes arouse robust passions, fueled not just by means of conflicts of monetary self-interest, yet by means of conflicting rules of equity. Taking as a tenet the normal nature of personal estate, Murphy and Nagel express how taxes can basically be evaluated as a part of the final method of estate rights that they assist to create.
The Philosophy of Sociality: The Shared Point of View
The Philosophy of Sociality examines the character of sociality in its quite a few types, with distinct emphasis on collective intentionality. Raimo Tuomela starts with a contrast among the "we-perspective" and the "I-perspective. " His research of robust collective intentionality -- as expressed via joint intentions, collective dedication, crew trust, authority-based crew motion, and different phenomena -- outlines the conditions below which a person is needed to imagine and act as a bunch member.
Reinterpreting Property
This choice of essays by way of one of many country's major estate theorists revitalizes the liberal character thought of estate. Departing from conventional libertarian and financial theories of estate, Margaret Jane Radin argues that the legislation may still keep in mind nonmonetary own worth hooked up to property—and that a few issues, resembling physically integrity, are so own they need to no longer be thought of estate in any respect.

In keeping with Cohen deliberation will be loose, reasoned, between equivalent events, geared toward a rationally stimulated consensus (1989a: 22±23). Equality of the individuals calls for that every individual have self-respect and that every have equivalent admire for the others, now not unavoidably their principles. an idea shouldn't be weighted much less or extra in line with who says it. ``The participants realize each other as having deliberative capacities, i. e. the capacities required for moving into a public trade of purposes and for performing on the results of such public reasoning'' (1989a: 21).
Four a few deliberative theorists recommend consultant participation, rather than direct participation. even if deliberation occurs between elected representatives (Mansbridge 1992, 1988; Bessette 1980) or between a random pattern of the inhabitants (Fishkin 1991, 1995, 1996), four See the discussions of tyranny of the bulk, tyranny of the tactic, and tyranny of the assembly in bankruptcy 2. 3rd international feminist social feedback as feminism 183 those that don't perform those deliberative fora might get an epistemological bene®t within the experience that the political judgements that have an effect on their lives might be greater proficient.
Enduring international injustice and inequality appear compounded through environmental difficulties, illness, the oppression of girls, racial, ethnic and non secular minorities, and the relentless progress of the world's inhabitants. In such conditions, the necessity for inventive considering the basics of human political organization is show up. This new sequence in modern political thought is meant to foster such systematic normative re¯ection. The sequence proceeds within the trust that the time is ripe for a reassertion of the significance of problem-driven political idea.
Four even if, they've got identi®ed the way to holiday that silence with one another and to strength their husbands to listen to them. As critics, those ladies problem the typical perform of spouse battery and so they assert a daughter's correct to an schooling. Their process is to notify themselves via collective discussion, to problem ordinarily permitted values, practices, and norms, and to recommend for these issues they suspect ladies must have, hence defense of their houses and an schooling. The critics in my anecdote additionally show the a number of roles of social critics.
Forty five Bangladeshis see the schooling in their kids as the most effective investments they could make for his or her young ones and for his or her personal wellness, however it is a dear funding. whereas grownup literacy is up from 24% in 1970 to 37% in 1993, it truly is nonetheless on the low finish of all least constructed nations and the bottom of its associates within the zone (except Nepal). Illiteracy is a countrywide challenge that is affecting girls disproportionately; evaluate 25% girl grownup literacy to forty eight% male grownup literacy. grownup illiteracy is a functionality of insufficient schooling, now not in simple terms unequal schooling of fellows and ladies.

Film #289: ENCARNACAO DO DEMONIO aka EMBODIMENT OF EVIL
Encarnação do Demônio aka Embodiment of Evil
3 out of 5 stars
I'll be honest... I'm not a fan of the whole Coffin Joe thing. I'll admit that right away. However, this one is so completely over the top and silly that it's one of the better Coffin Joe flicks. For maybe the first time, the filmmakers have a sense of humor about themselves and aren't taking anything TOO seriously. Yes, the sets are drab and the acting stinks, there's a sort of fun to this one that was lacking in earlier outings. Silly and pretty bloody, if you feel compelled to see a Coffin Joe movie, EMBODIMENT OF EVIL is the one you could rent first.

Looking ahead: Great Plains Incubator
Erin Owens
Staff Writer
Great Plains Technology Center is now seeking tenants for their new business incubator, targeted to be up and running by August.
The incubator is a total of 28,000 square feet and will house 10 business offices, a licensed and certified commercial kitchen, seven manufacturing spaces and an art studio that can accommodate up to 12 artists.
Pat Beck, manager of the business incubator, said it is a community.
"It's a place for entrepreneurs to develop their ideas and be able to succeed with bringing their dreams to success," she said.
The incubator offers entrepreneurs the opportunity to start a business softly and under the guidance of experienced mentors. The mentors will share their knowledge and network with the business owners and coach them on growing their businesses.
Before business owners will move into the incubator they must first meet a few prerequisites.
They will need to have a business plan in place, secure financing and pitch the idea of their business to an advisory committee made up of bankers and businessmen from the community.
Upon entry to the incubator, business owners will have access to an economic team who will advise them in areas such as accounting, marketing and agriculture. Beck said the plan is to be available for the business owners and help them succeed.
"We're going to be talking about all the things it takes to be successful," she said. "[If] we can see the trend here and this isn't going to work, we need to pivot somehow; maybe you need to change your market or product."
The Small Business Association credits lack of capital, lack of experience and poor location as the three main reasons for failure among small businesses each year. While planning the business incubator, these were three of the factors taken into consideration. For Beck, giving businesses a greater chance to grow is a passion.
"We are a small community in Lawton," she said. "We can't afford to hope that another Goodyear will move here to boost our economy. We have to grow our own, and with an 80 percent failure rate of new businesses, you can't afford that.
"That ripple effect of the failure is not good for our economy at all."
The small business association agrees that incubators are influential in business success rates and encourages all entrepreneurs secure a support system prior to starting operations. Beck emphasized how important this network can be.
"You'll be forced to make many important decisions, especially in the first months of opening your business," Beck said. "If you do not have a support network of people to help you, consider finding a business mentor."
Construction of the incubator is under way, and the building is scheduled to open later this year. Business plans are already being reviewed and the office spaces are on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Tips from property development experts
Property development is a lucrative business, with those investing in properties reaping the rewards once selling them on. There has been some reluctance to purchase buy-to-let properties or investment homes after Brexit, so this could be the opportune moment for those looking to move into the market as there is less competition.
If you have been considering using those savings or taking out a business loan to dip your toe into the world of property here are some tips and tricks from those in the know…
Jason Harris, Director at First Urban Group
With 30 years experience in the industry, Jason Harris joined First Urban Group in 1991 and quickly worked his way up to Director level, acquiring numerous properties along the way and building a reputable portfolio. When considering a career in property development, Jason confirmed that you should:
"Build relationships with professional partners you can trust. The people you work with say a lot about you as a developer, so if you are looking to renovate a commercial property or develop on a large site it's important you have dependent, hardworking partners that consistently complete projects to a high standard."
Sarah Beeny, property developer and TV presenter
Sarah Beeny is a familiar face in the world of property development, after presenting Property Ladder she's known as an expert and has since gone on to set up her own online estate agency. But when it comes to property development, what does she recommend first timers consider?
"When you're choosing a location, I think the most important thing is that you know it because there can be little nuances about any location and you really need to understand what those are. One street can differ dramatically from another street." Sarah said.
Sarah now works to market her online estate agency Tepilo, which has helped numerous people sell their homes quickly and easily.
Gary McCausland, property developer and TV presenter
Author of books such as How to Be a Property Developer, How to Make Money from Property and How to Make a Million from Property, Gary McCausland knows what he's talking about. As the CEO of the Richland Group he has extensive experience buying and selling properties in the London area and believes that you 'make your money when you buy, not when you sell':
"It is essential to pay the right price for a property. Every pound you knock off the asking price is money straight in your pocket. If you pay top dollar for something, however good it may seem, you are not going to be able to make a decent profit because the margins are so slim."
If you're looking to move into the property development market, heed the advice of the experts, plan carefully, research thoroughly and ensure everything is covered before signing any paperwork!

Are there factors that can influence weight gain in a pregnant woman? or pregnancy has nothing to do with weight gain?
HF-Expert-5 answered on December 24, 2015
Women who eat healthy and balanced diet and do regular exercises such as taking long walks daily will not gain excess weight. In pregnancy, there could be a craving for unhealthy food and consuming a lot of this can cause excessive weight gain.

latest project - a book about gravity.
Lately I've been using a new brush for whenever I have to do some linework in photoshop. I am really bad at making nice lines with the round brushes. It takes me forever because I have to go in and smooth out and clean up my really shaky linework. So I made a brush from one of the Spatter brushes (one of the default brushes). I selected the 14 pixel spatter brush, kept the spacing really low, and then adjusted the rotation and stuff (see brush palette screenshot.) This has been a great brush for me. I can draw with it more how I used to draw with a pencil to do my "inking." Plus, I like that the line has a little more softness or texture to it.

At office of 30 employees, our ShoreTel phone keep dropping connection randomly and it effects most users (at random). Sometimes you don't have to be on the phone and it loses connection with the phone server. I restarted the Shortel switch and it didn't resolve anything. It's on premise which is connected to a netgear switch. I looked at the HQ logs and some noticable erors are:
Any thoughts?
- Swithc 10:00, Calls 2, Free Mem 58508720, Max Mem Block 57678720
- IP Phone Display Server: A called remained in the Unknown state for more that 30 seconds. This usally indicates a failure in a switch, a SIP device, or the Telephone Management
- Switch: Trunks unavailable to route to *phone number*
Any thoughts?

Principal Technology Engineers Modular Equipment Designed for Refining, Chemical, Process and Manufacturing Facilities
Plano, Texas — October 10, 2012 — Principal Technology Inc., a provider of total system solutions for natural gas, refining, chemical, process and manufacturing facilities, has the capability to provide modularized process units and equipment designed to minimize the field construction, commissioning, and total installed time to complete a project. The systems range from pre-assembled "black box" sub-systems to fully modularized plug-and-play process units.
"Customers turn to Principal Technology for our design and fabrication capabilities that encompass a broad range of process applications," said Matthew S. Hodson, P.E., president and CEO of Principal Technology. "By applying our modularization design philosophy, we create packaged equipment systems that contain the technology and capabilities customers are looking for and that can be installed in half the time. This approach means less down-time and minimal impact to existing on-site operations during unit upgrades."
Principal Technology engineers custom, modularized systems that are manufactured and tested in a fabrication facility then shipped to the customer's site for installation, final testing and startup. Manufacturing in an off-site shop environment compresses the typical construction schedule because all the labor, equipment, materials, and technical resources are immediately available and there are minimal weather and miscellaneous related delays.
Principal Technology's modularization philosophy incorporates a purpose driven design approach for the entire project lifecycle. This starts with a traditional 2D and advanced 3D planning study to maximize shop assembled piping, equipment and instrumentation while adhering to the shipping limits of the available transportation modes, according to Hodson. Detailed design includes color coded 3D models and renderings to communicate on-skid, off-skid, and ship loose components to all project stake-holders. "This approach culminates in completed modules with tagged and color coded paint schemes for removable structural shipping braces, temporary anchor bolts and other shipping supports in addition to clearly marked ship loose components allowing for efficient onsite installation, commissioning, and start-up," said Hodson.
Using this modularized design philosophy Principal Technology has provided a broad range of equipment and systems—from simple pump and filtration skids to gas metering systems to complex modular process units, including sulfur recovery and tail gas treating units and even complete steam generating stations for heavy oil production sites— in one third to one half the time of similar site-built equipment.
Finding the skilled labor required to complete a modern oil and gas production or treating facility can be difficult in some of the remote locations where companies routinely explore for resources. Principal Technology greatly reduces this problem with shop-fabricated modular systems that can be shipped anywhere in the world.
"Principal Technology's design, system integration, and fabrication capabilities support all stages of a project including evaluation and feasibility analysis, detailed design, procurement, fabrication, commissioning and startup." said Hodson. "Whether the project scope includes conceptual or detailed design, build-to-print, or design-build responsibilities, Principal Technology has the expertise to implement the project and support the entire project lifecycle."
About Principal Technology, Inc.
Principal Technology, Inc., located in Plano, Texas, is an established business serving the energy industry and manufacturing markets. The business units of PTI specialize in providing Sulfur Recovery and Environmental Systems, related Specialty Equipment, Modular Process Units, Engineering, Design, and Fabrication Services, and Control System Integration. Through its core competencies in the mechanical, instrument, electrical, process, and control system disciplines, PTI provides a special combination of high value engineering and design services with practical design-build capabilities to provide our customers with complete project integration.

After such a lovely time floating for a few days on the Indian Ocean, resting and reading, I'm now allowing myself the indulgence of writing. A friend of mine who is a writer has told me that every day she thinks about what to write about, plotting storylines, picturing scenes and describing characters in her head. I found that quite a foreign concept until now. My thoughts now become ideas for blogging!! Does this mean I'm becoming a writer?
Time. The concept of time is a baffling one. As a child time took so long. I remember quite distinctly my Mum dropping me off to have a play with a friend at the age of about 6. She said I had an hour. I remember feeling as if I had all the time in the world. A whole hour. Growing up I felt like adulthood would never come. It seemed to take a lifetime to get to 18. And now, well they warn you that the years go by quicker as you get older. Ryan will be 12 at the end of the month and soon Matthew will be 10. Instead of Richard looking towards his 40s, it's now the 50's. Thankfully I'm still well and truly on the side closer to 40!
But, in the village I felt that time stood still.
Most people didn't know their age. To ask after someone's age you said, 'How many Christmases?' Many just shook their heads and said they didn't know. Life in the village followed the life of the river and the wet or dry season. Since returning to Perth I have been very aware of the pace of life here. In particular because I have felt the pressure from Vivien to post her books.
I haven't done that yet! It's not because I'm slack, it's just because I haven't had a chance. Yes, I could be doing it today instead of indulging in some writing, but I'm not in the mood and I want to write a nice letter to her as well. It's only been 4 1/2 weeks since I was there. It seems like just yesterday and yet for her, it's probably been forever.
I was thinking about this the other day. I remember that when I said to Gina, who had prepared all our evening meals and generally looked after us in Yamen, what will she be doing once we left, she said, 'nothing'.
That was when Mike gently suggested to her that we all felt she would make a lovely teacher and perhaps she could start up the school againJ.
Yabru said to us that they (church and village leaders) are very concerned that there will be a whole generation of village Papua New Guineans who are illiterate. When the missionaries were there in the 50's, 60's and 70's there were schools in the villages and literacy rates went up. Pidgin and English were taught. Yabru is a result of that education. As were many of the people aged about 35 and above. He then scanned his arm around the village and said, 'they have it too good here to do anything about it'. It is pretty good. Plenty of food and the life-giving river. BUT again, it looks idyllic on the outside, but if you are sick or you are a childbearing woman, the reality can be quite devastating.
Vivien has probably not got a lot to do. 4 weeks for her feels like an eternity whereas I feel I was only there the other day. I've had to recover from food poisoning, attend to school activities (choir event, sports carnival, music lessons, homework, basketball training), support my husband who is dealing with a lot of work stress, pay the bills, sort through insurances, keep in touch with people not just in my neighbourhood but right around the world! Phew, it's a lot to do. And I still don't do as much as some people I know.
Vivien is going to have to be patient and wait. I will follow through with what I said I would do and I have reassured her of this. In the meantime she will need to do what she can with the information and resources I left with her. When I post the books to Vivien I also want to write a note for her and give her some more pointers about starting some antenatal care in her village. That takes careful thought and time. I have done some more research and also received some useful documents from a colleague working for the World Health Organisation in PNG. As I've been reading through the material, comparing it with my experiences in Yamen, a picture is forming in my head about what I can do to provide practical help and support to Vivien and the other Village Birth Attendants. Keep it simple stupid, but sometimes simple takes time.
Village life as I've mentioned before is slow. It is very hot and humid so when the temperature is really hot, many people just lie around at home in the shade, on their verandahs watching the kids play. Many times I noticed the mothers with young babies at the house next to us, lying on the floor of the house playing with their babies, holding them up above them and making them giggle and squeal with delight.
Resting during the heat of the day…
Families live close together so staying in touch doesn't take much effort. Getting food for dinner is a short walk to the plantation. The men have a lot to do to get meat or catch fish, and skinning a chicken is not the simplest thing to do, but if that's all you have to do for the day, you can focus and give it all your attention and everyone knows that that is what you are doing for the day!
A Mum and some children just sitting and playing
I think time does go faster in our part of the world. We have so many things to do and so many options of things to do. Doing nothing to us is reading a book, probably playing with the children or preparing a meal, perhaps even doing the gardening! I would suggest that our doing nothing is actually doing something! It's just that those simple, repetitive, more mundane tasks of life have lost their importance in our world and so they are regarded as nothing.
Comparing life here in Perth and that in Yamen neither are perfect. I'd say that somewhere in the middle would be good. We need to slow down and not do so many different things (stretching ourselves between too many tasks is not good) and they need to step up and start doing things that will make a difference: to them as individuals (by improving self esteem) and to the community as a whole. Just little things like start some simple language and maths classes for the children, begin teaching some informal lessons to the women about having a healthy pregnancy and spacing babies.
Keep it simple stupid. But simple can take time.

Locomotive shed
This model of a locomotive shed is a large building where locomotives can be housed when not being used, and also repaired and maintained. This repair depot can accommodate two locomotives. But there is also an additional space where you can place a tender or any other car. The building has very detailed internal premises and is also provided with gates that can be easily opened or closed. At the base of the building there are special cut-outs in which the rails in H0 scale (or less) can be inserted.
We especially recommend this model for creating railroad dioramas in H0 scale! It would perfectly fit in Modern era (19th-20th century) and World War II landscapes. And yes, the model is made in H0 scale and also compatible with 10 or 15 mm miniatures that makes it suitable as a terrain for various war games (you can find a list of compatible game systems below).
The locomotive shed model is made of durable cardboard of 1 millimeter thick; it has double-sided full-color printing and embossing. So you have no need to paint this terrain because it has nice and realistic exterior pictures and detailed interiors.
Note that through the material of the model (cardboard) you can modify it or turn it to a ruined or a burned out building.
The model is provided with language independent step-by-step instructions and can be easily assembled without glue or scissors.
Compatibility with game systems: Нistorical (modern age or WWII) game settings, scale 10 mm or 15 mm: Flames of War, Team Yankee, Tanks, Impetus, De bellis Multitudinis, Fire and fury, Napoleon`s Battles, Blitzkrieg Commander, The Sword and the Flame, Jonny Reb III, Battleground World War II, Battlefront: WWII

Bangladesh-based model turned designer Bibi Russell has always looked different from everyone else. As a teenager in the 1960s in her native Bangladesh, a country where smallness and fair skin are highly prized attributes for women, she says, "I was tall, skinny, and dark."
But those traits caught the attention of a modeling industry that, at the time, included very few women of color, propelling Russell, now 65, onto catwalks for top designers —including Kenzo, Giorgio Armani, and Karl Lagerfeld — and into the pages of major fashion magazines.
Those experiences, together with Russell's dedication to uplifting women in Bangladesh, made her the perfect partner for NGO ActionAid's fall "Survivors' Runway" fashion show in London, which shined a spotlight on victims of acid attacks — violent crimes that involve throwing corrosive substances over someone's face and body with the intent to maim and disfigure that person. Such attacks have become more widely known in the West following a spate of attacks in London in July, but they've long been a problem in countries including Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and Colombia, with women often the prime targets and suffering devastating physical consequences and social stigma as a result.
The show, which took place in London in October, was a partnership with ActionAid and was reportedly so uplifting that the entire audience got up and danced along the runway with the models for the finale.
"Bibi Russell is a great person who has devoted herself to establishing the rights of the most vulnerable women in Bangladesh," says Nuhur Nahan, an acid-attack survivor who now works for ActionAid Bangladesh, which has provided support and job training for fellow acid-attack survivors since 2004. "ActionAid Bangladesh asked her to take the lead in directing the fashion show, to design the clothes, groom the models, and give them more confidence." The runway display, she explains, was an opportunity to reach a global audience and raise awareness of violence against women while also showcasing the capability, strength, and resilience of the survivors.
And a perfect fit was clothing from the company founded by Russell, Bibi Productions, after she retired from modeling in 1994. Built to promote the traditional fabrics of Bangladesh, it now employs 35,000 weavers from rural areas across the country, Russell says, and the eco-friendly, pure cotton handloom fabrics are ideal for the acid-attack survivors' sensitive skin.
But when it came to convincing the six models and survivors that they could wear the clothing in front of an audience, on a runway, Russell was met with a challenge.
"I spent a lot of time with the girls as I had to really talk to them, motivate them, make them feel comfortable, and convince them that they are worthwhile, that they are beautiful," Russell tells Yahoo Lifestyle. "I wanted them to know that the experience they'd gone through and survived had given them great strength and that they needed to show that strength to the world on the runway."
And once the models heard that message, and believed it, there was no stopping them. "At first, they all were nervous, but after the event, they felt excited and they enjoyed it a lot," Nahan says about participants, who included Ganga Dashi Sarkar, 49, attacked with acid by a man whose advances she rejected after her husband died, and Sonali Kathun, 13, who was just 18 months old when a neighbor, angry at her father over a land dispute, poured acid onto her and her parents. "Now they're more confident and courageous."
Bangladesh, which once had a notoriously high number of acid attacks, took a firm stance against them in 2002, with the introduction of a law controlling the open market sale of acid and another mandating strict punishment for perpetrators. However, implementation of laws still leaves much to be desired, Nahan says, and resolving those cases that do come to court takes a very long time.
In Russell's view, the greatest challenge lies in changing peoples' mindsets and attitudes — especially in rural Bangladesh — toward the survivors of acid attacks. While ActionAid and other organizations work hard to mainstream victims and counter the social and economic stigma they face, there is still a lot of work to be done, she says.
Russell is committed to doing this work, though, and to raising awareness on other key challenges Bangladesh faces, including illiteracy, education (or lack thereof), child trafficking, and the low value of a female child.
Russell spends a lot of time in very remote villages across South Asia: Recently she was in the Indian state of West Bengal, working with the state government on a project to stop female child trafficking. But she has an "open" office in Dhaka, Bangladesh's capital city, where she welcomes everyone, especially the destitute, and her grassroots approach has made Russell a familiar figure to many in Bangladesh.
"They know me, they listen to me," she says. "If I see a girl with dark skin, for example, I tell her what to do, I try and give her the confidence she needs. I want to give people the love, affection, and respect that they deserve."
Russell — who is known for her colorful, hand-woven saris, traditional jewelry, and funky-framed eyeglasses — is an outspoken promoter of her country's traditional crafts. The motto for both Bibi Productions and Russell herself is "fashion for development," and she's showcased the company's hand-woven designs across the globe on multiple occasions, not just for the sake of selling them but to imbue the rural Bangladeshis working for her with a sense of pride and purpose in their heritage and handicrafts. She's done the same in other parts of the world too, including India and Colombia, and she's currently involved with Uzbekistan through a UNESCO project that's looking to showcase that country's fabric and ceramics on the global stage.
"If I'd wanted to have a career in pure fashion, I would have stayed in Europe and opened a shop," Russell says. "But I believe in fashion for development, and I feel like I am a world citizen. There is so much beautiful heritage around the world to promote in such a way as to give people in different countries pride and dignity."

Plans carry on for the show at Brighton Dome, we have been wandering the corridors of the Museums/Galleries and Concert Hall Spaces in the last few weeks. We are planning to make it there next year if all goes well.
Meanwhile Memory Points is set for the South Bank in 2014/15 and we will be wandering around up there soon looking bemused and distracted! Hopefully we can also create something for the summer festival which will feed into the piece when it premieres in London. Memories of the South Bank mix with memories of our own families and grand days out.
Do you know who Joseph Roth was? A wonderful writer who wrote a short story called The Legend of the Holy Drinker in 1939 – a tale of miracles and magic when a vagrant living under a Parisian bridge suddenly develops the knack to attract money! We are researching this in 2014 for touring in 2015.
A tale of redemption and transformation told with our emphasis on beautifully lit fairytale atmospheres of objects/performers and puppets mixed into dreamy storytelling and sonic worlds.

VegetarianTeen.com has an interview with Gregory Smith, the 13-year-old founder of the International Youth Advocates. Smith's amazing story starts at age two when he decided to become vegetarian, goes through his high school graduation at age ten, and his back-to-back Nobel Peace Prize nominations at ages 12 and 13. He's set to graduate college this year and has a grand vision of how children can be the ones to bring peace about in a world full of tension and hate. It's great to see someone so young and so incredibly intelligent devoting his time and energy towards a goal that would takes a child's enthusiasm to reach.

There's a young pretender rising in the world of social media. Say hello to Ello.
It's easy to see why it's gaining momentum. Social media's all about communication and Ello's saying the right things. It's a brand new social network promising to pummel Facebook into the ground and do social media 'the right way'.
Its message is very urban; bohemian, almost. People using other social networks are used as a commodity, Ello says, and that their philosophy is a world away from what you're used to.
Ello's getting a lot of press attention and there's no doubting that its manifesto is a vote-winner: 'Your social network is owned by advertisers. Every post you share, every friend you make and every link you follow is tracked, recorded and converted into data.'
The curious can't just jump in. It's invite only; a tease designed to make you wait while everyone else is enjoying something bold, new, and fresh while you bite your nails on the sidelines.
But when you finally get access to Ello you'll have a pure social media experience that's better than any other. That's why so many people are flocking to it, right?
What are your thoughts on Ello? Is it the next big thing in social media or a massive flash in the pan? Let me know in the comments section below.
Too good to be true?
If it sounds too good to be true then it usually is. Despite its large commitment to social ethics a number of people have questioned Ello's approach and claims, pointing out that it's funded by venture capitalists.
How it's funded isn't a problem at all, so long as people are upfront and transparent about it. Some have also noticed Ello's privacy policy which says amongst other things 'Ello does not have any affiliated companies right now. But if we do in the future, we may share information with them, too.'
Venture capitalists aren't going to be pumping money into a new company free of charge, of course, and the people working on it are going to need to make a living somehow.
One sceptic has suggested that any original content posted on Ello automatically becomes its property; a way of generating funds? He also says 'Ello isn't answering any question I can think of' which is pretty cutting.
That hasn't stopped it growing. Despite the holes people are picking Ello seems to have touched a nerve, and people are flocking towards it in droves, so much so that people are selling invitations on eBay.
At one point Ello was thought to be getting approximately 34,000 sign ups an hour, leading to invites being frozen so the network could cope with its astonishing growth.
So what does this mean for social media marketing and SEO?
It's an encouraging move, especially if Ello continues its growth and continues to flesh itself out post-beta.
Having a presence online is always going to beneficial for you and your business, especially if you have time to converse with people and build up some core followers as you have been with Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, and the rest.
How do you use your social media profiles and what successes have you had with them? Do you have any stories to tell? Let me know below!
(Another) but…
Social media isn't the future. It's been a mainstream marketing tool for years now and has been very beneficial for companies of all shapes and sizes.
And if you're looking to add Ello to your armoury it's probably going to cost you.
Ello's freemium model means that it's going to be charging people to add on features. Want to run a personal and business account from the same login? It'll probably cost you, as will – surprisingly – privacy features.
If you're already shelling out promoting your content on Facebook, Twitter, and the other social big boys are you going to see a good return on investment from pumping more of your money into another social channel?
Targeting is a highly effective way to gain interest on social media and curate the right audience. But there are other ways to attract attention.
Here are some social tips to help you run an effective social media campaign:
1: Discover your target market
There's no point in just having social media profiles for the sake of it and waiting to be discovered. You need to find out where your target market is spending its time online and take the time to talk to them. It's worth taking the time to speak to people in your area online and build up local links over time to create a core customer base.
2: Create relevant content and share it
Social media and content marketing campaigns make excellent bedfellows and are natural ways to attract traffic and pique visitor interest. Create content relevant to your users and share it with them on social media, and share other people's content too to join in the conversation. Don't go overboard, though, and spam people's feeds with your own stuff.
3: Always be professional
There have been so many high-profile social media disasters that it's hard to know where to start! Social media is so easy to use that it's easy to forget that you're representing your company 24/7. It's a simple rule to remember; treat others how you yourself expect to be treated. Don't swear at them, lose patience, or be rude. You're essentially a customer service team which is always available.
Ello's going to be in the public consciousness for months, and who knows whether it'll succeed in toppling Facebook and the other social big boys?
I'll be keeping my eye on it as it grows and will experiment with it to let you know if it's a channel worth using for some serious online business growth.
If you'd like to know more about social media and how it can help you attract a brand new audience for your website contact the Webpresence team today!

Beginning of a new voyage
We live in a society which consists of different type of people. Differences can be there in the form of religion, cast or financial positions. I cannot envision my life without a farmer who is growing vegetables and fruits for us, delivery men of gas cylinder or news paper or milk, cleaning staff in our office premises. There are endless examples we can list down here.
They all are doing their jobs to help us living a better life. But do we ever think of the life they and more importantly their children live. What is the fault of a child who unknowingly and unintentionally born in a underprivileged family, off course there is no mistake they have made. So being a very important part of our society do they not deserve equal rights of proper food, education and other basic things. If we are reliant on them for the things which we cannot live without, Isn't it our responsibility to help those children get a better life?

A journey with zero visibility
It was one of the coldest days of this winter, chilling wind was thumping my face so hard that it could take the flesh out of it anytime.
I reached Hazarat Nizamuddin railway station at around 4:30 PM to catch MP Sampark Kranti to my home town. There was torturing rush on the ticket windows and platforms because of the disorder created by the delays in almost all the trains. Somehow I managed to reach my berth in one of the coaches and felt some warmth.
I was amazed to see that the train started on time and crowd was started settling in their respective places, I also took off my shoes, sitting comfortably I started reading the novel I was carrying with me, "Sea of Poppies" by Amitav Ghosh simultaneously started munching some potato chips. People were chatting about the fog and the cancellation/delay of the flights and trains, they made me uneasy when they discussed about the recent accidents those occurred because of fog and lower visibility.

Canadian investment fund Brookfield (Brookfield Business Partners with institutional partners) said on 4 January that it is to acquire 100% of Westinghouse Electric Company from Toshiba Corporation for about $4.6bn. Westinghouse filed with the US courts for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in March 2017 in the face of severe financial difficulties.
The purchase price covers "substantially all" of Westinghouse's global business and its affiliated debtors and debtors-in-possession. The deal includes Westinghouse's business in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, which had remained outside of bankruptcy protection.
Brookfield Business Partners is part of Toronto-headquartered Brookfield Asset Management, a global alternative asset manager with over $265bn of assets under management, including $141bn in the USA.
Brookfield said it had signed a letter of intent to purchase Westinghouse's global businesses, to be paid with $1bn in equity and $3bn in long-term debt financing, and the balance by the assumption of certain pension, environmental and other operating obligations. It expects the deal to close in the third quarter of 2018, subject to bankruptcy court approval and other conditions including regulatory approvals. Throughout the process, Westinghouse will continue to operate in the ordinary course of business under its existing senior management, the company said.
The deal does not include the company's most significant US projects – plans to construct a total of four AP1000 reactors at Vogtle in Georgia, and VC Summer in South Carolina. It was those projects, plagued by delays and cost overruns, that eventually led the Chapter 11 bankruptcy through which Westinghouse sought to distance itself from any obligations to them. Toshiba has since paid $3.68bn in parental guarantees to the owners of the Vogtle 3&4 and agreed to pay up to $2.168bn to the owners of the Summer project. Construction has continued uninterrupted at Vogtle (co-owned by Georgia Power, Oglethorpe Power, MEAG Power and Dalton Utilities), with Southern Nuclear taking over as the project manager at the site and Bechtel managing construction. The owners of the Summer project (Scana subsidiary South Carolina Electric & Gas and Santee Cooper) have stopped development.
Toshiba acquired Westinghouse in 2006 for more than $5bn, but the anticipated nuclear renaissance was not realised with oil and renewable energy costs falling and growing safety concerns following the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi disaster. Since filing for bankruptcy, Westinghouse said it planned to get out of the business of building new reactors and focus on servicing them, including decommissioning work.
José Emeterio Gutiérrez, Westinghouse president and CEO, said Brookfield's acquisition reaffirmed the Westinghouse's position as the leader of the global nuclear industry. "Our transformation and strategic restructuring process are creating a stronger, stable, and more streamlined global Westinghouse business, for the benefit of our customers and employees."
Four other teams had also shown interest in Westinghouse. Blackstone Group LP and Apollo Global Management LLC had put together a competing bid for Westinghouse Electric and as did Cerebus Capital Management LP, according to Bloomberg. Purchasing Westinghouse will give Brookfield, which primarily invests in the real estate, infrastructure and energy fields, a foothold in nuclear power as demand for it expands overseas. Under Brookfield, Westinghouse could team up with other manufacturers in the nuclear sector to compete on the international market with other major suppliers such as Russia, France, South Korea and China.
Westinghouse is the first foray into the nuclear sector for Brookfield.

Top Notes
Orange Blossom
Woody Notes

Base Notes
This beautiful fragrance was developed by perfumer Anne Filpo & the face of this seductive fragrance is model Hana Jirckova.
Lady Million Prive was inspired by extravagance and wealth. The bottle is similar to Lady Million but with more of a deeper auburn gold giving it a luxurious look.
Lady Million Prive is hypnotic with the combination of woody & cacao notes. It's a deep scent thanks to the vanilla notes. The fragrance is sensual because of the combination of honey & raspberry. Lady Million Prive is long lasting on the skin and is the perfect evening scent for anyone looking for a new scent.

How does organization play into nurturing yourself?
Easy...the more organized you are, the less stress you have.
I'm ALL about de-stressing these days.
I still have some work to do with organizing my house but it is coming along.
Hey, organizing takes time you know but it is time well spent I assure you!
you can use to tame the clutter crazies.
Make your stacks intentional.
Corral those magazines and books, stack them high and add a nice little topper like flowers or a candle.
Tidy them up by combining them all on a pretty tray.
It will look like an artful arrangement rather than a bunch of strewn items.
Company coming over?
Just toss it all in a basket and you're good to go.
and there are a ton of options no matter what your style.
by the variety out there. You can stick to something neutral to play it safe or
you can get a little funky. I adore the urn used for the kitchen utensils above.
Its traditional in nature and style but funky in the way that it is being used...t
he best of both worlds!
Use you imagination and have fun...
and watch the clutter virtually disappear :)
** Yes, I changed my look again...just can't help myself ;)

A list of Mediterranean herbs might include:
Herbs which like the same conditions should be grown together. The list above all originate from an environment which is warm and dry in the summer and never waterlogged in winter, Therefore it is important to try and reproduce these conditions in our own gardens.
Choose a sunny site with free-draining soil, adding grit to the planting position to improve drainage. Allow plenty of room for growth around each plant – this will reduce the chances of rotting off in damp weather and prevent the plants from shading each other out.
This type of plant also enjoys being grown in a container, perhaps on a sunny patio.
These plants are generally less palatable to slugs and snails due to their tough foliage and high aromatic oil content. An increasing problem in the UK is, however, the rosemary beetle (see image), which is now found in most areas and feeds on the foliage and flowers of lavender, thyme and sage as well as rosemary – pick them off as you see them and destroy.
Many Mediterranean herbs such as lavender, rosemary, sage and thyme can be propagated by semi-ripe cuttings in late summer and early autumn, using the current season's growth that is hard at the base and soft at the tip.

Coquitlam City is considered the fifth largest city within the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. Originally the name Coquitlam was derived from the words, Kickininee or Kokanee, which is a fish coloured red and is similar to sockeye salmon. The place began as a "place-in-between" during the construction of North Road during the middle of 1800's, and its purpose was to give Royal Engineers within New Westminster access to the port's all-year facilities within Port Moody. During the 19th Century, Coquitlam grew when Frank Ross and James McLaren opened Fraser Mills, that was a lumber mill situated on the northern banks of the Fraser River. The following years saw the arrival of some contingents of French Canadian mill employees, and after WWII, Coquitlam and the Lower Mainland experienced a population explosion that still continues even at present...
