I have 3 choices: 1) Do nothing. 2) Find a new job. 3) Retire
Question 1: Has any had any Success using the Internal Marketplace tool? Has anyone had any Actual job success of crossing Divisions? (STG-SWG-etc) Do you just target/scatter the postings with applications? (I have NOT ST'ed my manager that I want a new job)(My assumption is they would be cc'ed on any application) IF I tell them I am looking, my fear is I would be put on short list for next RA round.
I have confided in a couple of different managers that I am looking and to keep me in mind but they have no openings. Any factual sage insight would be appreciated.
Walking in to your manager's office and announcing your intention to "retire" is simply leaving money on the table. The IBM company has and will exercise every legal means at it's disposal to ensure they don't leave a single penny in your pocket that they can take. It's your call, but if it were me I would do the same to them.
It doesn't appear that IBM India cares much about retention, they just hire more freshers off the street to replace those who left. Which means under the current IBM staffing model, a union would have little leverage.
If IBM India did strike, I don't believe it would be the end of IBM simply because most IT workers there are essentially a low-skill commodity - IBM would have no problem replacing them. It would hurt for about 6 months while the replacements built some skills.
The quick and constant turnover presents an unusual challenge to organizers. Rather than fight their employer by organizing, dissatisfied employees jump to a new one, get a 25% raise and a 10% signing bonus.
Because of the employee churn and bouncing from employer to employer, it appears a strategy to organize the IT industry may be more effective than attempting to organize a single employer.
Instead of lunching with these corporatist traitors he should be setting tariffs to make jobs overseas cost as much as jobs in the U.S. This will raise living standards everywhere. This is what the U.S. historically did until first the [re]publicans started selling out the U.S. middle class workers in the 1970s and then were joined by the Democrats in the 1990s.
"Right to work" my a$$. It is really of course "Right to Work [for less]".
I am "access only" FHA, meaning I can buy it and pay the full premium. It is very expensive so your wife is not really missing much. I have a self-only plan that is not the most expensive, the EPO, and pay $9024/year. The FHA is still a group rate plan and a bit less than a decent plan on the open market (be sure you get a plan with an annual cap on costs you pay, and has no limit on prescription - to avoid bankruptcy).
Your wife can get the money to help pay the premiums if she waits, if she can, to leave IBM at age 55 (as she has also reached 15 years of service, needed to obtain the money).
Apart from claim there seems to be no good measurement tool of employee performance. Utilization pressure is so high (at least in my region) that PEM tasks as well as participation in research activities or in internal or external conferences, even as a paid contributor, have to be done largely in "give-back=free" time, which is reduced to less than 15% with a 85% or higher utilization goal. This eventually is no good development. To keep the workforce motivated, sufficient attention must be paid to what drives the individual professionals, to their personal development and coaching. Time spent on such matters must be visible and valued.
Next to the utilization pressure also the atmosphere of threat and punishment (in stead of motivation) that seems to have taken root in GBS, are killing for individual empowerment and creativity. Just like the "good soldier Schweik" people may start to "report, that everything is fine", go their own way and loose their willingness to spend the extra hour for the company. I see it happening around me. And although a quiet and obedient workforce may seem a blessing for management, it will not lead to the high performance culture that IBM so desperately wishes to achieve and could achieve in the past.
My favourite book these days is "The art of possibility" by Ben & Roz Zander. This book has helped me to avoid submersion in what I sometimes call the IBM Gulag Archipelago. I can strongly recommend it to anyone of you! The simple practices that they describe could help IBM come back on track and leverage the good old values.
I leave my laptop at work, because IBM doesn't pay for my Internet / phone I refuse to use it for work. I have an IBM supplied cell phone and when I go home I take it but turn the ringer down such that it can't be beard. Why take the the cell phone home? Consider this, should I be killed while in possession of the IBM supplied phone, the insurance is doubled (technically by being required to carry the phone at all times, I'm on business and I've checked w/my legal counsel and they would scream very loudly in public and there appears to be some precedent supporting this position.) When they leave VM on my home phone, it's deleted, (they know I'm not home when I'm not at work). And when I'm asked to work overtime, I've already got plans and must decline which causes our superstars (management pets that are also hourly to take up the slack.) What's really funny is these superstars don't claim what they work nor do they work what they record in claim / etotals. Hmmm... can someone say "Tax Evasion?"
Eventually, this will get the superstars as well as most of a management chain in boiling water if not tarred and feathered! So, document, document, document everything and keep copies (need I say off-site)! Y'a, see what a 15% pay cut, elimination of premium pay, reducing professionals to the rank of common labor and no raises has produced? Ain't it grand? -Alfred E. Neuman - Mad Magazine-
In the American Journal of Medicine article, researcher doctors noted that out of a sample of 5.6 million prescriptions written for more than 2 million patients, nearly 5 percent "were designated as dispense as written by physicians and patients." This, perhaps, is not a very large portion, but the money that might have been saved is substantial. Noted the authors: "By substituting the generic alternative for each . . . brand that was filled . . . the patient population in this sample could have reduced their charges by more than $1.7 million and the health plans could have experienced more than a $10.6 million reduction in costs in the 1-month study period." ...
Brand names are the names doctors most easily remember. Drug samples left in physicians' offices — seemingly a free gift for doctors to dispense and patients to receive — make them more memorable. Often, sales representatives will treat a physician and his staff to lunch, and leave behind an array of pens, coffee mugs and USB memory sticks branded with the name of their drugs.
Advertising also has an effect, both on doctors and on patients, who ask for specific drugs they've heard mentioned on TV. Cumulatively, these tactics often succeed at what they are designed to do: sell the brand, instill trust in the name and make it the habitual choice.
"But dependency on government has never been bad for the rich. The pretense of the laissez-faire people is that only the poor are dependent on government, while the rich take care of themselves. This argument manages to ignore all of modern history, which shows a consistent record of laissez-faire for the poor, but enormous government intervention for the rich." From Economic Justice: The American Class System, from the book Declarations of Independence by Howard Zinn.
In 2030, according to the report prepared for Sanders, there would be 173,400 more people living in poverty in the United States. The revised formula also would dramatically lower benefits for retirees. Widows would receive almost $70 a month less in benefits, a reduction of $840 a year. People who are 70-79 would receive $49 a month less, a drop of $588 a year. Benefits for those who are 80-89 would drop by $80/month or $960 a year. Benefits for women would fall by 3.5 percent overall while men's benefits would drop by 2.9 percent. ...
As the deficit negotiations were set to resume on Sunday, Sanders emphasized that Social Security has not contributed a dime to the deficit or the national debt. Funded by the payroll tax on workers and employers, Socials Security has a $2.6 trillion surplus and will be able to provide full benefits for every eligible American for the next 25 years.
"He keeps referencing a life of dependence, but the economic reality is that there are multiple job seekers for every existing job. The people who are relying on the safety net now are recently unemployed or under-employed," she said. Crawford said she's frustrated that Ryan and other Republicans want to extend the tax cuts for the wealthy that were supposed to be temporary. ...
Nationwide polls repeatedly show Americans demanding shared sacrifice, tapping the rich instead of further punishing the poor. A recent Boston Globe poll showed 73 percent of likely voters support raising taxes on the wealthy. Ryan's plan calls for across-the-board tax cuts, including for businesses, corporations and the nation's wealthiest. ...
Eric Mann, director of the Labor/Community Strategy Center in Los Angeles, which advocates for working-class families and communities, said Ryan's budget paints a future that resembles something from Charles Dickens more than from Franklin Roosevelt. "I would call this plan the road to cruelty," said Mann.
Excuse No. 3: It's the workers' fault. Unemployment soared during the financial crisis and its aftermath. So it seems bizarre to argue that the real problem lies with the workers — that the millions of Americans who were working four years ago but aren't working now somehow lack the skills the economy needs.
Yet that's what you hear from many pundits these days: high unemployment is "structural," they say, and requires long-term solutions (which means, in practice, doing nothing). Well, if there really was a mismatch between the workers we have and the workers we need, workers who do have the right skills, and are therefore able to find jobs, should be getting big wage increases. They aren't. In fact, average wages actually fell last month.
Murdoch and Dimon. One runs an organization that, as we now know, broke the law so many times it could be called a criminal syndicate. And the other is Rupert Murdoch. Yet Murdoch's fighting for his corporation's future while Dimon's name is being floated as a possible Treasury Secretary. Murdoch's losing his chance to expand market share, while our government helped Dimon's bank become more too-big-to-fail than ever by grabbing up Morgan Stanley.
If they want to avoid Mumbai's gridlock, there are three helicopter pads on the roof. If they do drive, they will not have any trouble parking: there is space for 160 vehicles on the lower floors. Once in, nine lifts will take the guests from the lobby to upper levels, where the festivities will take place. On the top floors, with a sweeping view of the city and out over the Arabian Sea, are quarters for the 53-year-old tycoon and his family. Overall, there is reported to be 37,000 sq metres of space, more than the Palace of Versailles. To keep things running smoothly, there is a staff of 600. ...
India's prime minister, Manmohan Singh, has previously called on business leaders to "eschew conspicuous consumption" and "be role models of moderation". Shiny Varghese, deputy editor of the Indian magazine Design Today, said the Ambanis' house was the ultimate expression of a much broader trend. "It's so obscenely lavish that I'm not sure too many people will go all that way, but we are heading into the sort of culture where money is not a question when setting up a home," he said. "The lavishness is huge.
The press might also see fit to mention that even the most impoverished inhabitants of Congress, even if they never work another day in their lives, have no other income and never get a dime from Social Security, will almost certainly take home more in retirement pay--they get generous pensions and taxpayer-assisted 401-K plans--than the median income in this country.
2009 financial disclosure numbers show Joe Biden as one of the few people involved in the negotiations who wasn't worth something comfortably in the seven figure range during that year. (He may actually have been in the red.) The average net worth of the people who will be voting on the fate of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid was about $3.4 million in the House and an astonishing $13.6 million in the Senate. And that was in 2009, when the stock market was struggling for most of the year and investment portfolios had taken massive hits. But Congress still had 237 millionaires, almost 45% of the 535 federal legislators. ...
The wealth of these people should be part of their names. The photo showing showing Boehner and Obama playing golf should have been captioned, "Millionaire president Barack Obama discusses Medicare cuts with millionaire Congressman John Boehner over a chuckle at the country club." Eric Cantor should always be introduced to a story as a multi-millionaire: "Multi-millionaire Congressman Eric Cantor complained today that cuts proposed by multi-millionaire president Barack Obama do too little to unravel the safety net for the poor and elderly." "Republican senator Mitch McConnell, whose net worth at the height of the recession was at least $7 million, said today that the federal government can no longer subsidize health care for people earning as much as $17,000."
Our right-wing friends in the House of Representatives have given us an option. What they have said is end Medicare as we know it and force elderly people, many of whom don't have the money, to pay substantially more for their health care. So when you're 70 under their plan and you get sick and you don't have a whole lot of income, we don't know what happens to you. They forget to tell us that if their plan was passed you're going to have to pay a heck of a lot more for the prescription drugs you're getting today. They we're going to throw millions of kids off health insurance. If your mom or dad is in a nursing home and that nursing home bill is paid significantly by Medicaid and Medicaid isn't paying anymore, they forgot to tell us what happens to your mom or dad in that nursing home. What happens?
And what happens today if you are unemployed and you're not able to get unemployment extension? What happens if you are a middle-class family desperately trying to send their kids to college and you make savage cuts to Pell grants and you can't go to college? What does it mean for the nation if we are not bringing forth young people that have the education that they need? They forgot to tell us that. And if you are one of the growing number of senior citizens in this country who are going hungry, they want to cut nutrition programs. And on and on it goes. Every program that has any significance to working families, the sick, the elderly, the children, the poor, they are going to cut in the midst of a recession when real unemployment is already at 15 percent and the middle class is disappearing and poverty is increasing. That's their idea.
Shouldn't the wealthiest Americans and the most profitable corporations contribute to deficit reduction rather than just the elderly and the sick and working families? They say no. They're going to defend the richest people in this country -- millionaires and billionaires -- and make sure they don't pay a nickel more in taxes. We're going to make sure there is no tax reform so we can continue to lose $100 billion every single year because wealthy people and corporations stash their money in tax havens in the Cayman Islands or Bermuda, and that's just fine. We'll protect those tax breaks while we savage programs for working families.
This is one of the great outrages in political history. Neither party is now proposing a major jobs program. While the Republican Party at the national and state level is doing everything it can to destroy jobs, the Democratic Party is failing to fight for jobs with the intensity that Democrats have historically done. Meanwhile, the Democratic president does photo-ops, Twitter events and mini-jobs programs of the magnitude of school uniform trivia.
It is an outrage, a crime, a sin against decency and a defamation against everything I personally believe that nobody, I repeat nobody, in the high councils of politics gives a damn about those who have been jobless for 99 weeks. This violates my faith as a Christian, where we are supposed to help those in need. It violates my values as a Democrat, where we are supposed to fight for jobs. It violates the most common-sense economics, which proves that help for 99ers provides more stimulus than tax cuts for the wealthy, but since the 99ers would have to spend the money from assistance, to live.

The best web reseller websites come in two different types. The first type is sold by hosting companies who sell hosting plans located on their servers. The second type is typically sold by hosting clients who purchased reseller hosting plans and are selling extra disc space they have on their plans. You should be knowledgeable of these two options for several reasons.
When you are in the market looking for hosting options for your website, you may run across these reseller plans which may not be the best fit for your purposes. If your aim is to get a website that comes with its own hosting, then buying from a reseller may be a good choice to make. Making that choice will depend on your objective for your business.
Webmasters are involved in a number of different projects which have many different needs that must be satisfied.
Facts on Two of the Web Reseller Hosting Options
The first option to consider is the purchase of hosting from a middleman. Buying web space from a reseller of hosting gives you hosting space of a middleman who has extra space in his hosting plan.
In this way, you are not directly purchasing from the web hosting company whose servers you are setting up your website on. Resellers who are selling from their allotted server space do not, in the majority of cases, have the staff needed to provide clients they acquire with the customer support for the plans they have purchased. This is a fact that buyers of such hosting plans should be aware of when they these plan.
It may interest you to purchase some web space like this if you are have a need to create a short term landing space for a short term marketing project. These websites are rarely customized and are just one of many being sold with a cookie cutter design and it may not even provide SEO considerations in their construction.
The reseller who sells these sites intend to make his money by flipping as many of these sites as possible, and to gain additional income from the hosting of his extra reseller hosting space.
The better option would be to purchase directly from the hosting company. Unless you take that course of action, you will be at the mercy of more frequent server downtime and you may also experience difficulty with other hosting plan features. These difficulties become real if you do not have direct access to the customer support the host provides.
The second option is to purchase reseller hosting directly from a hosting company that sells just hosting to its hosting clients. In most cases, you will get a fee domain name and a 30 day money back guarantee in case you are not pleased with the hosting plan.
These reseller hosting options will not be suitable for a small business that needs hosting space. The options are also not a good choice for an Internet marketer looking to establish his online business.
Other hosting choices exist that will provide better and direct customer support from the hosting companies.
Why You May Want to Avoid Reseller Websites
How would it make you feel if you opted for reseller hosting, only to realize that after a couple of years the income you realized, was far less than it could have been had you chosen your hosting differently.
That is entirely possible because you are not dealing directly with a hosting company where your server downtime is not immediately addressed, and your purchased website was not optimized for the search engines.
Dealing directly with the hosting company, means that you will have optimized your website to your satisfaction. It means that the site was not one that was hastily assembled by a site flipper looking to make a fast buck from individuals looking for a ready-made site, and cheap hosting to boot. Since hosting is plentiful and offered at very cheap rates, there is no need to endure the shortcomings of resellers who do not have your business interests at heart.
Look at all the plans available and you may find that buying the best web reseller websites and hosting plan may not be your best option.
Important Things to Note About The Cloud Hosting Reseller
There are different ways to contact a hosting company if you want to start a website and have it hosted on a server. You can contact a hosting company directly or alternatively a cloud hosting reseller. A reseller is an intermediary who acts in various capacities to sell website space and website bandwidth to clients on another person's servers.
A cloud hosting reseller can act as a agent which entitles him to get commission from the principal host provider. In this case, the hosting company has merely recruited the hosting reseller to do business for them. A reseller can also act as the marketer. In this capacity, he simply sells the hosting services using the principal hosting companies name to run the business and all future communications are conducted with the main web hosting company. It is only the initial dealings that clients perform with the reseller. He can also pretend to be a host who will negotiate the price of web space and bandwidth for you with the actual host. Lastly, he can also be the actual buyer. You can purchase some part of the server from a hosting company, divide it into small parts and sell it to clients for a profit. Following this the buyer becomes the reseller and all supporting services are then provided by him to his clients.
You should note that all issues pertaining to software, hardware, and connectivity should be dealt with by the principal hosting company. Regardless of the fact that the clients stay in touch with the reseller, these services should be provided for by the main web hosting company and not the reseller. It is also important to consider who the reseller is. It could be a website designer, a web developed, a systems engineer or perhaps even a con. One should always be wary. But this can also be a highly beneficial package as most resellers offer a complete range of web solutions in one package for low costs. Control panels such as Plesk, Helm, Cpanel are what the reseller uses to manage his clients.
Pros and Cons Of Using A Cloud Reseller
Hosting companies have many benefits which they pass on to their resellers. So if you use resellers services that in no way means that the benefits you reap will be any less. Hosting companies prefer to sell or rent their capacities because it earns them larger profits and also gives new business propositions to others in the hosting world that are just starting their business.
Faster sales are also generated as when principal hosts sell their capacity it is to hosts all over and involve selling in more than one region. There are, however, certain drawbacks involved in using a cloud hosting reseller as well. If the reseller starts to compete with his own hosting company, it can be rather disadvantageous as the reseller does not possess all the resources needed to conduct efficient business. There are also safety and trust issues involved as the reseller has little or no control over the services he sells and new VPS technologies are slowly making reselling an outdated enterprise nonetheless.
New Avenues For A Hosting Reseller
Reselling may be dying out but cloud hosting seems to have saved the day. As the website under cloud hosting is not hosted by a single server, it enables the client to put more faith in the cloud hosting reseller.

Uganda Cranes midfielder Hassan Wasswa has tipped home-based players to shine in both CECAFA Senior Challenge Cup and CHAN after an impressive show in Congo.
Wasswa who plies his trade in Egypt witnessed the boys pt in a great shift – the national team drawing 1-1 – a feat that brought smiles on his face.
"We played as a team and as players, we are happy with the result we got," said Wasswa.
"Overall, it's not disaster to finish second in the group. Now we are back at club and the focus shifts to next game in March," he added.
However, our local based players are now focusing on CHAN and CECAFA. Actually, the local based players showed they can play and wish them all the best in CHAN and am confident they will do well in CHAN.

Although I have heard some great organizational tips for storing ear buds (my favorite is the Q-Tips container idea by Jen from iHeart Organizing!), I've never really heard of ways to keep them untangled. I feel that this is an even greater problem than storing them, because every time I pull out my iPod to listen to music, I find myself spending 15 minutes untangling my ear buds just so they can be the proper length! Not to mention the hassle when your traveling.
Here's a solution to keeping them untangled: Cover the wiring! The best (and most professional) way is to get them clear-coated with plastic. Unfortunately, this isn't something you can just pick up at the store and apply it when you get home - you need to take it to a professional ear bud manufacture, which also requires a lot of money.
I experimented a little and came to the happy conclusion on keeping your ear buds untangled with this little DIY project. Instead of plastic, why not coat it with string? You can go to the dollar store or any craft store to pick up colorful string (the kind used for making friendship bracelets). Wrap it around the wiring, cut it off once you get to the end, and carefully glue it with a tiny dab of hot glue. (Make sure it doesn't touch the wiring, though! That could be bad.) If you don't like the unfinished look of hot glue on the end, you could even go as far as taping a small strip of masking tape to the top.
Happy un-tangling and and enjoy!
PS - We're hosting our very first giveaway here on Pinkscript very, very soon! Stay tuned for more details.(:

We are pleased to announce the dates of the very successful Pure Fitness Boot Camps for 2016.
With better programmes, improved diet plans, a FREE T-shirt for finishing the 6 week course and two extra instructors; Megan and Alex Jones.
Book your place on our first Boot Camp – New Year, New You – starting on Tuesday 12th January and Wednesday 13th January @ 6:30am-7:30 am.
Benefits of Boot Camp Training:
Concentrated focus – If you already keep active and fit with regular exercise then your attention is already geared towards health and fitness. However, at times, if you want to make big changes, such as to lose weight and tone up quickly and effectively, you may need to up the ante and focus in on your goal. Boot Camp is an ideal way to help you reach your target by honing in on what you want and offering intense exercise sessions to make sure you get there.
Creates healthy expectations – Fitness classes which you can easily dip in and out of might offer a relaxed way of keeping in shape, but they don't necessarily generate a sense of personal responsibility. A Boot Camp where you're expected to show effort and determination, as well as commitment, can really inspire you to put healthy pressure on yourself. This in turn means that you're more involved and more motivated to not let down your trainer, the others around you and most importantly, yourself.
Motivates you to examine your lifestyle – Because of the focus on fitness in a Boot Camp environment, you naturally start to look at your life as a whole and how healthy you are. Assessments of your fitness levels, monitoring and working toward a goal, really highlight how exercise, diet and nutrition are linked, as well as all your other lifestyle choices. You might not get the same sense of interconnectedness from classes or sessions where you simply drop in and view as separate from the rest of your life.
Dynamic workouts – Many people lose focus and motivation because they get bored. The whole point of Boot Camp is that it is as diverse as it is intense. If you add in the fact that you will be progressing and changing along the way, then you have an interesting exercise mix that should keep you engaged enough to realize your exercise goals.
Like-minded exercisers – Some people take up activities for the social scene, others because they are firmly fixed on a goal. A real positive about Boot Camp is that because of what it stands for, you are going to meet other people similar to yourself who want to seriously improve their lives.
Faster results – Boot Camp is effective at identifying ways of reaching health and fitness goals in a faster way. Left to your own devices you might struggle to get there at all and classes or sessions which repeat one style of exercise might not deliver the right results on time either.

A Deep Sea Fish Which Can Turn on the Light at Pleasure.
Scientists have recently introduced a novelty in the finny world in the shape of a linophryne but it is a deal easier to call it by its every day name — the torchfish. He is a deep sea fish, carrying on his nose an organ which he can illuminate with a phosphorescent light or extinguish it at pleasure. He does not use his lantern to guide him on his pathless course in the dark depths of ocean or enable him to look around him, but when meal time comes he lights up to attract smaller fishes, which, mistaking the lantern for a phosphorescent insect, dart straight for it, only to find their way into the capacious jaws of linophryne lucifer. The mode in which the lantern is lighted and extinguished is not yet clearly understood. Nikola Tesla, the eminent electrician, is of the opinion that if such a fish exists, and if it has the attributes credited to it, it is very strange that neither Lord Rayleigh nor Professor S. P. Langley had made any mention of it in their researches. Mr. Tesla is also of the opinion that if the phosphorescent does exist it is not of an electrical origin.
G. Brown Goode, assistant secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, writes of the torch-fish, "It is not positively known that the organ on the nasal filament of linophryne is luminous, although it appears probable. The idea that the fish has the power of illuminating it at pleasure is, so far as I know, purely conjectural, the idea having been suggested by Dr. Gunather, of the British museum. I think no one has seriously supposed that the phosphorescence is due to an electrical source."

You must be dressed appropriately if you're going to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. That means bodies completely covered, and heads covered too. But if you don't have totally appropriate clothing, you can manage like my travel companion did. She wore long pants, and a long-sleeved shirt buttoned to the neck, and she draped another shirt over her head with the sleeves hanging down. Your feet, however, must be bare. There's a place to take off shoes and socks. Muslims have to wash their feet, but everyone else can go without washing them. The Mosque is stunningly beautiful. I'm told the one is Casablanca is more beautiful, but I find it hard to believe. This one is white marble and gold leaf, with flowers and vines mostly in the green and blue range. Lots of water around it. Long walkways. Huge rooms. The guide said 7,000 could worship there on their prayer mats.
Enjoyed the rest of the tour too, especially seeing a lot of modern architecture. It was a hot day, but the tour bus was air conditioned.
The guide was very helpful and extremely pleasant.
The tour guide Medan/Ahmed is great and informative. Sent us reminder to Hotel of his pick up time a day early so we have a peace of mind that we will get picked up. He is attentive, courteous and the Grand Mosque tour was excellent. We arranged to be dropped off at Cruise Terminal instead of going back to Dubai. We had a wonderful time with Ahmed and would highly recommend this tour.
Great day trip. Pick up was on time. The Mosque is a must see. Description details of the trip needs to be addressed as it showed that entrance fee into the Emirates Palace as being additional cost, therefore it implied to me at time of booking that we had the choice to pay for the entrance fee into the hotel. Was disappointed that we didn't even get to be on the grounds of the palace. Did bring this to the attention of our guide and was told that they would remove the option from the tour as it isn't available whether you willing to pay or not.
Otherwise was good tour.
This tour is a must when visiting Dubai! This was our first visit to Dubai and we learned so much on this tour. We were lucky enough to have an amazing tour guide, Ahmed Medan. He was extremely knowledgeable about the Emirates as well as the history and culture. We learned so much on this tour from Ahmed and not just about the places we were visiting. We learned a lot about the Emirati way of life. Thank you Ahmed!! I would give you 10 stars if I could!
This tour was beyond Awesome! Our tour guide Karim was very informative and it felt like we were taking a tour with a family member. He answered all of our questions and being that we were on a tour with those who didn't speak English, Karim was multi-lingual and EVERYONE felt as if they were on a personal tour. The Mosque was awesome and all of the highlights were thoroughly visited. I highly recommend this tour and be sure to ask for Karim.
The trip to a Abu Dhabi was great the mosque was definitely worth visiting and it was good to see what Abu Dhabi looks like our tour guide was very good and was full of information about everything all in all a great day out
The trip was excellent.Both the driver and the guide were first class and very punctual.
We were given a lot of interesting information and taken to see some fascinating places.
We were in a group of 8 people and the vehicle provided was comfortable and clean.
I have no hesitation in thoroughly recommending this company.

His wife was talking to two other women. He lay on the lounge pretending to read. The lamps shed a golden light, and, through the open door, the night was lustrous, and a white moon went like a woman, unashamed and naked across the sky. His wife, her dark hair tinged with grey looped low on her white neck, fingered as she talked the pearl that hung in a heavy, naked drop against the bosom of her dress. She was still a beautiful woman, and one who dressed like the night, for harmony. Her gown was of silk lace, all in flakes, as if the fallen, pressed petals of black and faded-red poppies were netted together with gossamer about her. She was fifty-one, and he was fifty-two. It seemed impossible. He felt his love cling round her like her dress, like a garment of dead leaves. She was talking to a quiet woman about the suffrage. The other girl, tall, rather aloof, sat listening in her chair, with the posture of one who neither accepts nor rejects, but who allows things to go on around her, and will know what she thinks only when she must act. She seemed to be looking away into the night. A scent of honeysuckle came through the open door. Then a large grey moth blundered into the light.
It was very still, almost too silent, inside the room. Mrs. Renshaw's quiet, musical voice continued:
"But think of a case like Mrs. Mann's now. She is a clever woman. If she had slept in my cradle, and I in hers, she would have looked a greater lady than I do at this minute. But she married Mann, and she has seven children by him, and goes out charring. Her children she can never leave. So she must stay with a dirty, drunken brute like Mann. If she had an income of two pounds a week, she could say to him: 'Sir, good-bye to you,' and she would be well rid. But no, she is tied to him for ever."
They were discussing the State-endowment of mothers. She and Mrs. Hankin were bitterly keen upon it. Elsa Laskell sat and accepted their talk as she did the scent of the honeysuckle or the blundering adventure of the moth round the silk: it came burdened, not with the meaning of the words, but with the feeling of the woman's heart as she spoke. Perhaps she heard a nightingale in the park outside — perhaps she did. And then this talk inside drifted also to the girl's heart, like a sort of inarticulate music. Then she was vaguely aware of the man sprawled in his homespun suit upon the lounge. He had not changed for dinner: he was called unconventional.
She knew he was old enough to be her father, and yet he looked young enough to be her lover. They all seemed young, the beautiful hostess, too, but with a meaningless youth that cannot ripen, like an unfertilised flower which lasts a long time. He was a man she classed as a Dane — with fair, almost sandy hair, blue eyes, long loose limbs, and a boyish activity. But he was fifty-two — and he lay looking out on the night, with one of his hands swollen from hanging so long inert, silent. The women bored him.
Elsa Laskell sat in a sort of dreamy state, and the feelings of her hostess, and the feeling of her host drifted like iridesence upon the quick of her soul, among the white touch of that moon out there, and the exotic heaviness of the honeysuckle, and the strange flapping of the moth. So still, it was, behind the murmur of talk: a silence of being. Of the third woman, Mrs Hankin, the girl had no sensibility. But the night and the moon, the moth, Will Renshaw and Edith Renshaw and herself were all in full being, a harmony.
To him it was six months after his marriage, and the sky was the same, and the honeysuckle in the air. He was living again his crisis, as we all must, fretting and fretting against our failure, till we have worn away the thread of our life. It was six months after his marriage, and they were down at the little bungalow on the bank of the Soar. They were comparatively poor, though her father was rich, and his was well-to-do. And they were alone in the little two-roomed bungalow that stood on its wild bank over the river, among the honeysuckle bushes. He had cooked the evening meal, they had eaten the omelette and drank the coffee, and all was settling into stillness.
He sat outside, by the remnants of the fire, looking at the country lying level and lustrous grey opposite him. Trees hung like vapour in a perfect calm under the moonlight. And that was the moon so perfectly naked and unfaltering, going her errand simply through the night. And that was the river faintly rustling. And there, down the darkness, he saw a flashing of activity white betwixt black twigs. It was the water mingling and thrilling with the moon. So! It made him quiver, and reminded him of the starlit rush of a hare. There was vividness then in all this lucid night, things flashing and quivering with being, almost as the soul quivers in the darkness of the eye. He could feel it. The night's great circle was the pupil of an eye, full of the mystery, and the unknown fire of life, that does not burn away, but flickers unquenchable.
So he rose, and went to look for his wife. She sat with her dark head bent into the light of a reading lamp, in the little hut. She wore a white dress, and he could see her shoulders' softness and curve through the lawn. Yet she did not look up when he moved. He stood in the doorway, knowing that she felt his presence. Yet she gave no sign.
"Will you come out?" he asked.
She looked up at him as if to find out what he wanted, and she was rather cold to him. But when he had repeated his request, she had risen slowly to acquiesce, and a tiny shiver had passed down her shoulders. So he unhung from its peg her beautiful Paisley shawl, with its tempered colours that looked as if they had faltered through the years and now were here in their essence, and put it round her. They sat again outside the little hut, under the moonlight. He held both her hands. They were heavy with rings. But one ring was his wedding ring. He had married her, and there was nothing more to own. He owned her, and the night was the pupil of her eye, in which was everything. He kissed her fingers, but she sat and made no sign. It was as he wished. He kissed her fingers again.
Then a corncrake began to call in the meadow across the river, a strange, dispassionate sound, that made him feel not quite satisfied, not quite sure. It was not all achieved. The moon, in her white and naked candour, was beyond him. He felt a little numbness, as one who has gloves on. He could not feel that clear, clean moon. There was something betwixt him and her, as if he had gloves on. Yet he ached for the clear touch, skin to skin — even of the moonlight. He wanted a further purity, a newer cleanness and nakedness. The corncrake cried too. And he watched the moon, and he watched her light on his hands. It was like a butterfly on his glove, that he could see, but not feel. And he wanted to unglove himself. Quite clear, quite, quite bare to the moon, the touch of everything, he wanted to be. And after all, his wife was everything — moon, vapour of trees, trickling water and drift of perfume — it was all his wife. The moon glistened on her finger-tips as he cherished them, and a flash came out of a diamond, among the darkness. So, even here in the quiet harmony, life was at a flash with itself.
"Come with me to the top of the red hill," he said to his wife quietly.
"But why?" she asked.
"Do come."
And dumbly she acquiesced, and her shawl hung gleaming above the white flash of her skirt. He wanted to hold her hand, but she was walking apart from him, in her long shawl. So he went to her side, humbly. And he was humble, but he felt it was great. He had looked into the whole of the night, as into the pupil of an eye. And now, he would come perfectly clear out of all his embarrassments of shame and darkness, clean as the moon who walked naked across the night, so that the whole night was as an effluence from her, the whole of it was hers, held in her effluence of moonlight, which was her perfect nakedness, uniting her to everything. Covering was barrier, like cloud across the moon.
The red hill was steep, but there was a tiny path from the bungalow, which he had worn himself. And in the effort of climbing, he felt he was struggling nearer and nearer to himself. Always he looked half round, where, just behind him, she followed, in the lustrous obscurity of her shawl. Her steps came with a little effort up the steep hill, and he loved her feet, he wanted to kiss them as they strove upwards in the gloom. He put aside the twigs and branches. There was a strong scent of honeysuckle like a thick strand of gossamer over his mouth.
He knew a place on the ledge of the hill, on the lip of the cliff, where the trees stood back and left a little dancing-green, high up above the water, there in the midst of miles of moonlit, lonely country. He parted the boughs, sure as a fox that runs to its lair. And they stood together on this little dancing-green presented towards the moon, with the red cliff cumbered with bushes going down to the river below, and the haze of moon-dust on the meadows, and the trees behind them, and only the moon could look straight into the place he had chosen.
She stood always a little way behind him. He saw her face all compounded of shadows and moonlight, and he dared not kiss her yet.
"Will you," he said, "will you take off your things and love me here?"
"I can't," she said.
He looked away to the moon. It was difficult to ask her again, yet it meant so much to him. There was not a sound in the night. He put his hand to his throat and began to unfasten his collar.
"Take off all your things and love me," he pleaded.
For a moment she was silent.
"I can't," she said.
Mechanically, he had taken off his flannel collar and pushed it into his pocket. Then he stood on the edge of the land, looking down into all that gleam, as into the living pupil of an eye. He was bareheaded to the moon. Not a breath of air ruffled his bare throat. Still, in the dropping folds of her shawl, she stood, a thing of dusk and moonlight, a little back. He ached with the earnestness of his desire. All he wanted was to give himself, clean and clear, into this night, this time. Of which she was all, she was everything. He could go to her now, under the white candour of the moon, without shame or shadow, but in his completeness loving her completeness, without a stain, without a shadow between them such as even a flower could cast. For this he yearned as never in his life he could yearn more deeply.
"Do take me," he said, gently parting the shawl on her breast. But she held it close, and her voice went hard.
"No — I can't," she said.
"I can't — let us go back."
He looked again over the countryside of dimness, saying in a low tone, his back towards her:
"But I love you — and I want you so much — like that, here and now. I'll never ask you anything again," he said quickly, passionately, as he turned to her. "Do this for me," he said. "I'll never trouble you for anything again. I promise."
"I can't," she said stubbornly, with some hopelessness in her voice.
"Yes," he said. "Yes. You trust me, don't you?"
"I don't want it. Not here — not now," she said.
"Do," he said. "Yes."
"You can have me in the bungalow. Why do you want me here?" she asked.
"But I do. Have me, Edith. Have me now."
"No," she said, turning away. "I want to go down."
"And you won't?"
"No — I can't."
There was something like fear in her voice. They went down the hill together. And he did not know how he hated her, as if she had kept him out of the promised land that was justly his. He thought he was too generous to bear her a grudge. So he had always held himself deferential to her. And later that evening he had loved her. But she had hated it, it had been really his hate ravaging her. Why had he lied, calling it love? Ever since, it had seemed the same, more or less. So that he had ceased to come to her, gradually. For one night she had said: "I think a man's body is ugly — all in parts with mechanical joints." And now he had scarcely had her for some years. For she thought him an ugliness. And there were no children.
Now that everything was essentially over for both of them, they lived on the surface, and had good times. He drove to all kinds of unexpected places in his motor-car, bathed where he liked, said what he liked, and did what he liked. But nobody minded very much his often aggressive unconventionality. It was only fencing with the foils. There was no danger in his thrusts. He was a castrated bear. So he prided himself on being a bear, on being known as an uncouth bear.
It was not often he lay and let himself drift. But always when he did, he held it against her that on the night when they climbed the red bank, she refused to have him. There were perhaps many things he might have held against her, but this was the only one that remained: his real charge against her on the Judgment Day. Why had she done it? It had been, he might almost say, a holy desire on his part. It had been almost like taking off his shoes before God. Yet she refused him, she who was his religion to him. Perhaps she had been afraid, she who was so good — afraid of the big righteousness of it — as if she could not trust herself so near the Burning Bush, dared not go near for transfiguration, afraid of herself.
It was a thought he could not bear. Rising softly, because she was still talking, he went out into the night.
Elsa Laskell stirred uneasily in her chair. Mrs. Renshaw went on talking like a somnambule, not because she really had anything to say about the State-endowment of mothers, but because she had a weight on her heart that she wanted to talk away. The girl heard, and lifted her hand, and stirred her fingers uneasily in the dark-purple porphyry bowl, where pink rose-leaves and crimson, thrown this morning from the stem, lay gently shrivelling. There came a slight acrid scent of new rose-petals. And still the girl lifted her long white fingers among the red and pink in the dark bowl, as if they stirred in blood.
And she felt the nights behind like a purple bowl into which the woman's heart-beats were shed, like rose-leaves fallen and left to wither and go brown. For Mrs. Renshaw had waited for him. During happy days of stillness and blueness she had moved, while the sunshine glancing through her blood made flowers in her heart, like blossoms underground thrilling with expectancy, lovely fragrant things that would have delight to appear. And all day long she had gone secretly and quietly saying, saying: "To-night — to-night they will blossom for him. To-night I shall be a bed of blossom for him, all narcissi and fresh fragrant things shaking for joy, when he comes with his deeper sunshine, when he turns the darkness like mould, and brings them forth with his sunshine for spade. Yea, there are two suns; him in the sky and that other, warmer one whose beams are our radiant bodies. He is a sun to me, shining full on my heart when he comes, and everything stirs." But he had come like a bitter morning. He had never bared the sun of himself to her — a sullen day he had been on her heart, covered with cloud impenetrable. She had waited so heavy anxious, with such a wealth of possibility. And he in his blindness had never known. He could never let the real rays of his love through the cloud of fear and mistrust. For once she had denied him. And all her flowers had been shed inwards so that her heart was like a heap of leaves, brown, withered, almost scentless petals that had never given joy to anyone. And yet again she had come to him pregnant with beauty and love, but he had been afraid. When she lifted her eyes to him, he had looked aside. The kisses she needed like warm raindrops he dared not give, till she was parched and gone hard, and did not want them. Then he gave kisses enough. But he never trusted himself. When she was open and eager to him, he was afraid. When she was shut, it was like playing at pride, to pull her petals apart, a game that gave him pleasure.
So they had been mutually afraid of each other, but he most often. Whenever she had needed him at some mystery of love, he had overturned her censers and her sacraments, and made profane love in her sacred place. Which was why, at last, she had hated his body; but perhaps she had hated it at first, or feared it so much that it was hate.
And he had said to her: "If WE don't have children, you might have them by another man —" which was surely one of the cruellest things a woman ever heard from her husband. For so little was she his, that he would give her a caller and not mind. This was all the wife she was to him. He was a free and easy man, and brought home to dinner any man who pleased him, from a beggar upwards. And his wife was to be as public as his board.
Nay, to the very bowl of her heart, any man might put his lips and he would not mind. And so, she sadly set down the bowl from between her two hands of offering, and went always empty, and aloof.
Yet they were married, they were good friends. It was said they were the most friendly married couple in the county. And this was it. And all the while, like a scent, the bitter psalm of the woman filled the room.
"Like a garden in winter, I was full of bulbs and roots, I was full of little flowers, all conceived inside me.
"And they were all shed away unborn, little abortions of flowers.
"Every day I went like a bee gathering honey from the sky and among the stars I rummaged for yellow honey, filling it in my comb.
"Then I broke the comb, and put it to your lips. But you turned your mouth aside and said: 'You have made my face unclean, and smeared my mouth.'
"And week after week my body was a vineyard, my veins were vines. And as the grapes, the purple drops grew full and sweet, I crushed them in a bowl, I treasured the wine.
"Then when the bowl was full I came with joy to you. But you in fear started away, and the bowl was thrown from my hands, and broke in pieces at my feet.
"Many times, and many times, I said: 'The hour is striking,' but he answered: 'Not yet.'
"Many times and many times he has heard the cock crow, and gone out and wept, he knew not why.
"I was a garden and he ran in me as in the grass.
"I was a stream, and he threw his waste in me.
"I held the rainbow balanced on my outspread hands, and he said: 'You open your hands and give me nothing.'
"What am I now but a bowl of withered leaves, but a kaleidoscope of broken beauties, but an empty bee-hive, yea, a rich garment rusted that no one has worn, a dumb singer, with the voice of a nightingale yet making discord.
"And it was over with me, and my hour is gone. And soon like a barren sea-shell on the strand, I shall be crushed underfoot to dust.
"But meanwhile I sing to those that listen with their ear against me, of the sea that gave me form and being, the everlasting sea, and in my song is nothing but bitterness, for of the fluid life of the sea I have no more, but I am to be dust, that powdery stuff the sea knows not. I am to be dead, who was born of life, silent who was made a mouth, formless who was all of beauty. Yea, I was a seed that held the heavens lapped up in bud, with a whirl of stars and a steady moon.
"And the seed is crushed that never sprouted, there is a heaven lost, and stars and a moon that never came forth.
"I was a bud that never was discovered, and in my shut chalice, skies and lake water and brooks lie crumbling, and stars and the sun are smeared out, and birds are a little powdery dust, and their singing is dry air, and I am a dark chalice."
And the girl, hearing the hostess talk, still talk, and yet her voice like the sound of a sea-shell whispering hoarsely of despair, rose and went out into the garden, timidly, beginning to cry. For what should she do for herself?
Renshaw, leaning on the wicket that led to the paddock, called:
"Come on, don't be alarmed — Pan is dead."
And then she bit back her tears. For when he said, "Pan is dead," he meant Pan was dead in his own long, loose Dane's body. Yet she was a nymph still, and if Pan were dead, she ought to die. So with tears she went up to him.
"It's all right out here," he said. "By Jove, when you see a night like this, how can you say that life's tragedy — or death either, for that matter?"
"What is it then?" she asked.
"Nay, that's one too many — a joke, eh?"
"I think," she said, "one has no business to be irreverent."
"Who?" he asked.
"You," she said, "and me, and all of us."
Then he leaned on the wicket, thinking till he laughed.
"Life's a real good thing," he said.
"But why protest it?" she answered.
And again he was silent.
"If the moon came nearer and nearer," she said, "and were a naked woman, what would you do?"
"Fetch a wrap, probably," he said.
"Yes — you would do that," she answered.
"And if he were a man, ditto?" he teased.
"If a star came nearer and were a naked man, I should look at him."
"That is surely very improper," he mocked, with still a tinge of yearning.
"If he were a star come near —" she answered.
Again he was silent.
"You are a queer fish of a girl," he said.
They stood at the gate, facing the silver-grey paddock. Presently their hostess came out, a long shawl hanging from her shoulders.
"So you are here," she said. "Were you bored?"
"I was," he replied amiably. "But there, you know I always am."
"And I forgot," replied the girl.
"What were you talking about?" asked Mrs. Renshaw, simply curious. She was not afraid of her husband's running loose.
"We were just saying 'Pan is dead'," said the girl.
"Isn't that rather trite?" asked the hostess.
"Some of us miss him fearfully," said the girl.
"For what reason?" asked Mrs. Renshaw.
"Those of us who are nymphs — just lost nymphs among farm-lands and suburbs. I wish Pan were alive."
"Did he die of old age?" mocked the hostess.
"Don't they say, when Christ was born, a voice was heard in the air saying: 'Pan is dead.' I wish Christ needn't have killed Pan."
"I wonder how He managed it," said Renshaw.
"By disapproving of him, I suppose," replied his wife. And her retort cut herself, and gave her a sort of fakir pleasure.
"The men are all women now," she said, "since the fauns died in a frost one night."
"A frost of disapproval," said the girl.
"A frost of fear," said Renshaw.
There was a silence.
"Why was Christ afraid of Pan?" said the girl suddenly.
"Why was Pan so much afraid of Christ that he died?" asked Mrs. Renshaw bitterly.
"And all his fauns in a frost one night," mocked Renshaw. Then a light dawned on him. "Christ was woman and Pan was man," he said. It gave him a real joy to say this bitterly, keenly — a thrust into himself, and into his wife. "But the fauns and satyrs are there — you have only to remove the surplices that all men wear nowadays."
"Nay," said Mrs. Renshaw, "it is not true — the surplices have grown into their limbs, like Hercules's garment."
"That his wife put on him," said Renshaw.
"Because she was afraid of him — not because she loved him," said the girl.
"She imagined that all her lonely wasted hours wove him a robe of love," said Mrs. Renshaw. "It was to her horror she was mistaken. You can't weave love out of waste."
"When I meet a man," said the girl, "I shall look down the pupil of his eye, for a faun. And after a while it will come, skipping —"
"Perhaps a satyr," said Mrs. Renshaw bitterly.
"No," said the girl, "because satyrs are old, and I have seen some fearfully young men."
"Will is young even now — quite a boy," said his wife.
"Oh no!" cried the girl. "He says that neither life nor death is a tragedy. Only somebody very old could say that."
There was a tension in the night. The man felt something give way inside him.
"Yes, Edith," he said, with a quiet, bitter joy of cruelty, "I am old."
The wife was frightened.
"You are always preposterous," she said quickly, crying inside herself. She knew she herself had been never young.
"I shall look in the eyes of my man for the faun," the girl continued in a sing-song, "and I shall find him. Then I shall pretend to run away from him. And both our surplices, and all the crucifix, will be outside the wood. Inside nymph and faun, Pan and his satyrs — ah, yes: for Christ and the Cross is only for day-time, and bargaining. Christ came to make us deal honourably.
"But love is no deal, nor merchant's bargaining, and Christ neither spoke of it nor forbade it. He was afraid of it. If once His faun, the faun of the young Jesus had run free, seen one white nymph's brief breast, He would not have been content to die on a Cross — and then the men would have gone on cheating the women in life's business, all the time. Christ made one bargain in mankind's business — and He made it for the women's sake — I suppose for His mother's, since He was fatherless. And Christ made a bargain for me, and I shall avail myself of it. I won't be cheated by my man. When between my still hands I weave silk out of the air, like a cocoon, He shall not take it to pelt me with. He shall draw it forth and weave it up. For I want to finger the sunshine I have drawn through my body, stroke it, and have joy of the fabric.
"And when I run wild on the hills, with Dionysus, and shall come home like a bee that has rolled in floury crocuses, he must see the wonder on me, and make bread of it.
"And when I say to him, 'It is harvest in my soul', he shall look in my eyes and lower his nets where the shoal moves in a throng in the dark, and lift out the living blue silver for me to see, and know, and taste.
"All this, my faun in commerce, my faun at traffic with me.
"And if he cheat me, he must take his chance.
"But I will not cheat him, in his hour, when he runs like a faun after me. I shall flee, but only to be overtaken. I shall flee, but never out of the wood to the crucifix. For that is to deny I am a nymph; since how can a nymph cling at the crucifix? Nay, the cross is the sign I have on my money, for honesty.
"In the morning, when we come out of the wood, I shall say to him: 'Touch the cross, and prove you will deal fairly,' and if he will not, I will set the dogs of anger and judgment on him, and they shall chase him. But if, perchance, some night he contrive to crawl back into the wood, beyond the crucifix, he will be faun and I nymph, and I shall have no knowledge what happened outside, in the realm of the crucifix. But in the morning, I shall say: 'Touch the cross, and prove you will deal fairly.' And being renewed, he will touch the cross.
"Many a dead faun I have seen, like dead rabbits poisoned lying about the paths, and many a dead nymph, like swans that could not fly and the dogs destroyed.
"But I am a nymph and a woman, and Pan is for me, and Christ is for me.
"For Christ I cover myself in my robe, and weep, and vow my vow of honesty.
"For Pan I throw my coverings down and run headlong through the leaves, because of the joy of running.
"And Pan will give me my children and joy, and Christ will give me my pride.
"And Pan will give me my man, and Christ my husband.
"To Pan I am nymph, to Christ I am woman.
"And Pan is in the darkness, and Christ in the pale light.
"And night shall never be day, and day shall never be night.
"But side by side they shall go, day and night, night and day, for ever apart, for ever together.
"Pan and Christ, Christ and Pan.
"Both moving over me, so when in the sunshine I go in my robes among my neighbours, I am a Christian. But when I run robeless through the dark-scented woods alone, I am Pan's nymph.
"Now I must go, for I want to run away. Not run away from myself, but to myself.
"For neither am I a lamp that stands in the way in the sunshine.
"Now am I a sundial foolish at night.
"I am myself, running through light and shadow for ever, a nymph and a Christian; I, not two things, but an apple with a gold side and a red, a freckled deer, a stream that tinkles and a pool where light is drowned; I, no fragment, no half-thing like the day, but a blackbird with a white breast and underwings, a peewit, a wild thing, beyond understanding."
"I wonder if we shall hear the nightingale to-night," said Mrs. Renshaw.
"He's a gurgling fowl — I'd rather hear a linnet," said Renshaw. "Come a drive with me tomorrow, Miss Laskell."
And the three went walking back to the house. And Elsa Laskell was glad to get away from them.

Rob Kardashian Comments on Blac Chyna Dating Rumors in New Instagram Post
Did Rob Kardashian seemingly just confirm the rumors that he's in a relationship with Blac Chyna!?
The 28-year-old reality star posted a photo on his Instagram account of Blac Chyna, 27, shopping with a tweet at the top that read, "Blac Chyna probably out shopping rite now as she plan to give birth to the only next generation of the Kardashian Name! #BabyKardashian." The tweet also included a shamrock emoji and a baby emoji.
Rob captioned the pic with, "☘☘☘☘☘" on his Instagram account. Rob actually reposted the photo from another Instagram account, entertainmentprescription_, who created the meme.
Blac Chyna happens to be the ex of Tyga, who is currently dating Rob's younger half-sister Kylie.

Founded in 2007, the National Assembly Research Service (NARS) is an independent legislation and policy research institute that serves the National Assembly of South Korea. It provides research and information on all current and potential issues of national policy.
Founded in 2007, the National Assembly Research Service (NARS) is an independent legislation and policy research institute that serves the National Assembly of South Korea. Established with the aim of strengthening the National Assembly's legislative capacity and promoting parliamentary democracy, it provides research and information on all current and potential issues of national policy.
In line with its purpose, NARS regularly conducts critical meetings in its conference room with members and committees of the National Assembly. In order to ensure smooth proceedings, the client was looking for professional equipment that would deliver system stability and provide crisp, clear audio during discussions. Adding to the challenge was the client's emphasis on product design to fit the tastefully designed conference room. To win the project, the Hanyang Electronics, Bosch's conference partner had to not only display the quality of its audio equipment but also present strong unique features that of the products to stand out from the competition.
Taking into account the client's requirements and the size of the discussion unit, Hanyang Electronics worked closely with NARS' procurement department and sound system manager to find the best audio system. After reviewing several products, the client selected the CCS-1000D series conference system for its user-friendly design and excellent speech indelibility. Hanyang Electronics also collaborated with Bosch team on the installation of the CCS-1000D system in the main conference room where seminar and press meetings are conducted.
With the new conference system in place, NARS is now able to enjoy superior sound quality during its meetings. The reliability of the CCSD-1000 series also means that critical discussions are not disrupted, ensuring smooth, effective proceedings. In addition, the client benefits from the various features of the equipment including the LED indication for meeting participants, built-in audio recording on internal memory and/or USB memory stick and advanced configuration and control via built-in web browser, which has enhanced productivity during meetings. As a result, the client is extremely pleased and satisfied with the performance of the sound system.

by Terry Golway
Format: Paperback
History casts Tammany Hall as shorthand for the worst of urban politics: graft and patronage personified by notoriously crooked characters. In his groundbreaking work Machine Made, journalist and historian Terry Golway dismantles these stereotypes, focusing on the many benefits of machine politics for marginalized immigrants. As thousands sought refuge from Ireland's potato famine, the very question of who would be included under the protection of American democracy was at stake. Tammany's transactional politics were at the heart of crucial social reforms-such as child labor laws, workers' compensation, and minimum wages- and Golway demonstrates that American political history cannot be understood without Tammany's profound contribution. Culminating in FDR's New Deal, Machine Made reveals how Tammany Hall "changed the role of government-for the better to millions of disenfranchised recent American arrivals" (New York Observer).

Upcoming Infiniti Hybrid Could be Blueprint for Next Gen GT-R
Remember way back in December last year, when the rumors were swirling that the next generation of Nissan's sports rocket, the GT-R, would be getting a hybrid drivetrain? Since then we've gotten subsequent confirmation that, indeed, Nissan was thinking about putting some kind of electric drivetrain into the GT-R—be it hybrid or fully electric.
And with the upcoming launch of the new Infiniti M35 hybrid at the LA Auto Show later this year, it seems that all the clues are falling into place—could the M35's hybrid system be a portent of what's to come for the GT-R?
The Nissan system forgoes the continuously variable transmission (CVT) that Toyota uses in its hybrids in favor of a 6 speed automatic. This is a strategy that Hyundai is also employing in its upcoming Sonata Hybrid. In both cases, the choice of a 6 speed automatic was made to deal with the CVTs seeming lack of connection to the tires during acceleration which can be somewhat unnerving and lead to a sense of marshmallow accelerator pedal. In my mind, this feature is the key to having an acceptable hybrid system in the GT-R. With a gooey, slow, CVT you could never eek out the performance embodied in the GT-R.
Of course, I'm guessing Nissan will still offer the GT-R in a couple traditional combustion configurations, with the hybrid system being one build option. But if done properly, the hybrid system can actually increase the performance of the combustion engine by adding oomph at the low end during initial acceleration and by adding a bit of torque during passing maneuvers. Plus, when just driving the GT-R as your daily driver (which is one of the great appeals of the sports car), the hybrid system will likely increase fuel economy by at least 30%.
In the case of the M35 hybrid, Infiniti General Manager Ben Poore, says "We'll deliver V8 performance with 4-cylinder fuel-economy. We're going for fuel economy of over 30 mpg on the highway." It seems that for a car like the GT-R, 30 mpg or more (it's a lighter, more aerodynamic vehicle than the M35) on the highway would be incredibly respectable—especially if it were able to maintain a 0-60 mph time in the low 3 second range and a combined 480 horsepower.
Nissan has also said that they'll be releasing an all electric sports car based on the LEAF platform at some point in the near future. The GT-R's dabbling in the hybrid realm could be an indicator of what direction they are going with the electric sports car concept.

BRASILIA (Reuters) - There is no risk of canceling the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro this year due to an outbreak of the Zika virus in Brazil, which has been linked to birth defects in newborns, President Dilma Rousseff's chief of staff said on Monday.
"We have to explain to those coming to Brazil, the athletes, that there is zero risk if you are not a pregnant women," Rousseff's chief of staff, Jaques Wagner, told reporters.

We survived our first week back on the road. It sure is great to be rolling along, but I really miss the telephone and being able to check email any ole time I want. Our first day out, I tried three times to get email and it didn't work. I finally found a computer store and he let me use his dedicated line. Kinko's didn't work and neither did the RV dealer (Earnhart) in Mesa. They had phone jacks and I got excited, but they were digital (for their switchboard) and wouldn't work for computers. They don't speak the same language. Our first stop was the Coast to Coast park in Bullhead City, Arizona (across the Colorado River from Laughlin, Nevada) and they didn't have a phone line I could use either. Since I knew we were coming to Silverton RV park in Vegas and that they had phone hookups on site, I decided to just wait until we got here.
Our week in Vegas was fun. Ron's daughter, Marty, and son-in-law, Bryan, were attending a convention here so we spent some time seeing the sights together. They weren't interested in any of the thrill rides so I didn't go either. Darn!
The Strip is changing. There are more big casinos going up. Belagio, Mandalay Bay, Venetian, and a new Aladdin will be open by 2000 and we feel that we contributed to the building boom by donating some of our money. I even gave back the $250 jackpot I won.
We are leaving here Monday, June 7 and traveling to Salt Lake City the long way. If you get out a map and trace U. S. 93 from Las Vegas up to I-80 at the Utah border you will know the direction we are taking. It should be a relaxing trip. Don't know for sure where we will stay Sunday night. There are few towns along the way and just a couple of national forest campgrounds. If all else fails, we will spend the night at the KOA in Ely, although that would be our last choice. A little boondocking would be much more fun.
I will try my hand at email after we pick up the boys. But remember we will be in national park areas and I am not at all sure what kinds of services we will find there. Hang in there and we will too.
I have caught up on the Our House Has Wheels articles. I also
added an article about Oatman, Arizona, and Laughlin, Nevada, in
the Places file. Check them out.

Great Vacation. We had a terrific two weeks with grandsons Richard and Ryan. Rather than type the information again, please go to our Utah page in the Places department (Utah) and read about all we did. It was a vacation though with travel at a more hetic pace than we like so after one full week here in Thayne, Wyoming, we are our old selves again. We leave on Wednesday July 1 and head to Riverton, Wyoming, for two days then Thermopolis, Wyoming for four days before heading to Canada. If you are in the area look for us.
