FYI!!! Verseo.com Cyber Monday – 35% OFF all orders over. Coupon Code: cyber35 Biggest deal of the year!
The Verseo Hair Plus system is a set of hair growth products developed to promote longer and and thicker hair. Hair Plus consists of a conditioner and a shampoo developed to increase hair growth. The products are sold both at Verseo and at Folica, which also has a good number of consumer reviews of the products if you would like to see those. The products are used just as you would use any shampoo and conditioner and the advertise that results can be seen within one month. Based on our research into various Hair Plus reviews, anyone wondering how to make hair grow faster should be interested in these products.
Hair Plus Review
Reviews of Verseo Hair Plus have been fairly positive. Not perfect, but generally good. A good number of people in hair plus reviews report that they had noticeable hair grown after about a month of using the products, with people generally reporting that they found that they were going in for a trim earlier than usual or that their hair felt noticeably thicker (notice more in people after cuts or with short hair, since the new hair growth, is just that, new). Reports have been generally good both with use of just the conditioner and with using both the shampoo and conditioner, with a preference for using both products together. Expect to perhaps notice results after a month, but in reality use over a period of multiple months is preferable to see real results. However, to be fair, not everyone reported results, with a majority reporting some success, but 30% or so reporting no effect at all. Also, a common complaint about the products is that they simply are not all that great in terms of general conditioning, so if you have dry hair and choose to try the Hair Plus products, you might want to add another conditioner, such as a good leave in spray, to assure full conditioning and detangling.
Hair Plus Recommendation
Our recommendation is that if you have thinning hair or seek quicker overall growth, to give Hair Plus a try for a few months. the products are not terrible expensive, so there is little to lose. If you have dry hair and need additional moisture, add in a good leave in conditioner. Verseo often has the items on sale, but when they do not, Folica is sometimes slightly cheaper.

For anyone interested, here is also a You Tube consumer review of the product from someone who grew 2.5 inches of hair rather quickly using it. I found the video kind of interesting and it is what led me to research the product for this blog post.

Brought to you by Primus - a smart choice for your Internet and Home Phone services.
Want to ruin your computer? Like really give yourself an unnecessary crisis that you'll throw over to the tech-savviest member of your family? Then follow these simple instructions and watch your very expensive machine become a doorstop.
Ignore Software Updates
Just let those update notifications pile up. How important can they be?
Real Advice: Make sure you regularly update your software. It's important to update your programs, it's very important to update your operating system, and it's critically important to install any security updates you receive. Here's how you can keep your computer software well maintained.
Don't Back Up Your Files
After all, what are the chances something bad might happen to your computer? And what are the chances you have anything important on there?
Real Advice: Back up your files regularly. In fact, it's a good idea to have more than one backup method. Read more on backups here.
Install Every Toolbar You Come Across
Isn't that nice? This website is offering a free browser toolbar. May as well install it, right? After all, it's free.
Real Advice: Not only are additional toolbars unnecessary, many of them track your browsing, invade your privacy, and sometimes come with other hidden software. Don't install random toolbars.
Reuse the Same Password All the Time
Remembering passwords is hard, there's like a dozen or so things that need passwords anyway, and what are the chances that a password can get cracked anyway?
Real Advice: Use unique passwords for all your important accounts. Let's say your email provider gets hacked. Do you really want the hackers to then be able to access your Amazon account, bank account, and who knows what else? You can always ask a Yahoo user what that feels like; it happened to them last year. And again this year. Here are some thoughts on what makes a good password.
Don't Invest in Any Anti-Virus Software
Doesn't your system come with anti-virus? And aren't Macs immune to viruses? And aren't viruses just something you have to worry about if you play a lot of games or download a lot of stuff?
Real Advice: Every computer is susceptible to viruses and every computer needs to be protected. Aside from viruses, there are Trojans, spyware, and ransomware to worry about. Protect yourself with some software ASAP.
Download Whatever You Want
Hey, there's lots of free music, movies, programs, and video games out there. What's the harm, right?
Real Advice: It is very easy to accidentally download malware. Or you may get some "foistware", which is when software is downloaded to your computer without your knowledge and installs hidden programs onto your computer. To bad and illegal ends, of course. Be very, very careful about what you (and your kids) download.
The Bottom Line
Like any tool, your computer requires maintenance and care. Some simple software and hardware maintenance should keep things running properly, but it's also important to be very careful about what you put on your machine. Be very discriminating when it comes to installing software, choosing downloads, and otherwise adding to your computer.

Now You See Me is a 2013 thriller/caper film directed by Louis Leterrier and distributed by Summit Entertainment.
This Gematria study will attempt to examine various symbolic features, occult meanings, and secrets of the film.
According to the theory of collective symbolism (esoteric revealism) as well as the study of archetypal occultism, there oft exists hidden meanings of a film, such as can only be gleaned through understanding the various signs, subtext, and occult symbolism depicted therein.
"In high-budget cultural products, a video is never "just a video," images, symbols and meanings are strategically placed in order to generate a desired effect." – The Vigilant Citizen
Illuminati Symbolism In Film – Esoteric Cinema
Films are typically divided into three parts or acts which define the structure of the story and include a set-up or beginning, a confrontation, and a resolution. Each act is connected via plot points, while causality or casual events make up the bulk of the story. Causal events conclude, while plot points are introduced and consequently connected to form the storyline. A film may often contain a sub plot which may both aid the storyline or narrative of the film.
Exterior elements of a film include:
The Plot
The Sub-Plot
The Narrative
The Story Line
Interior or Hidden Elements Of a film May Include :
Easter Eggs
Metaphors & Allegories
Esoteric & Illuminati Symbolism
Esoteric or Illuminati symbols found in mainstream works of cinema are intended to be understood by a small group of individuals capable of recognizing and interpreting the hidden meaning or occult symbolism depicted. According to theorists, the Illuminati express their intent toward creating a New World Order (The 5th Age) via vision boards, or esoteric symbolism shown through popular forms of entertainment including film and television. The 'vision boards' often depict an agenda toward reaching the fifth age – left in plain site for everyone to see.
What Is The Fifth Age?
According to archetypal occultism, the Roman numeral V (number five, also shown as the Peace Hand Sign) represents the agenda of building society into a so-called 'Fifth Age', commonly called the New World Order. According to this concept a final age of mankind may be reached by tearing apart the kingdoms of old and building up a new kingdom known as the "Kingdom of Stone", an age of strict totalitarianism and false sense of world peace. (Daniel 2:44-2:45)
"Out of these troubled times our fifth objective… a New World Order." – George H.W Bush
PLOT – Introduction (FILM) (SPOILERS AHEAD)
A group of four magicians are brought together to an apartment in New York after receiving Tarot cards which feature the All Seeing Eye Of Udjt and a date of March 29 with the Gematria/Numerology timing of 4:44 PM.
Eye Of Udjt = 666 / Evil Wadjet = 666
The Four Horsemen – Characters Based On The Occult/Alchemy
Jesse Eisenberg plays Danny Atlas "The Showman", who is given the Lovers Tarot card. Danny Atlas is the leader of this group of magicians. His character is meant to represent the element of fire.
Woody Harrelson plays Merritt McKinney "The Mentalist", who is given the Hermit Tarot card. Merritt is the joker of the group. As the imp of the bunch Merritt is meant to be symbolic of the element Air.
Isla Fisher plays Henley Reeves "The Escape Artist", who is given the High Priestess Tarot card. Paired with Danny Atlas, Henley is meant to portray the balance of water/love.
Dave Franco plays Jack Wilder "The Sleight", who is given the Death Tarot card. The Wilder character is representative of the Earth element.
Danny Atlas = 666 / A Dead Jack Wilder = 666
The four magicians meet at a mysterious apartment numbered 6a-6b (66 symbolism), a numerical clue to the symbolic identity of their unknown benefactor as well as the numerical identity of the group. In Gematria this symbolism can be interpreted as 666.
The Apartment Ritual
The group are left to solve the riddle of the apartment which represents an occult ritual (an initiation rite). Once they solve the puzzle of the apartment they are introduced to an elite plan, or agenda, for a magic show. They blindly agree to follow the agenda of an unknown benefactor and in one years time become rich and powerful entertainers – The Four Horsemen.
"The symbol for the Order, of course, is the All-Seeing Eye that emerges as Harrelson touches the light bulb. The significance here is that the ignition of light, which is what enters and exits the eye to cause perception, is the beginning of their initiation. This is relevant because the whole film will be about the management of perception." – Jays Analysis.com
The apartment is a hidden allegory for Alchemy as well as ritual initiation. Similarly there are touches of Plato's Cave and mystery school occultism at work.
The white rose is meant to represent Danny Atlas.
The water is meant to symbolize Henley Reeves.
The smoke is the air element of Merritt McKinney.
The earth ritual is meant to show Jack Wilder.
The illumination represents the Fifth Horsemen/Hidden Alchemist.
The Four Horsemen Logo
With the backing of insurance magnate Arthur Tressler, played by Michael Caine, the group is shown performing in Las Vegas as "The Four Horsemen". For their first act as a group, the magicians declare they will rob a bank, apparently through the use of teleportation. Their enigmatic logo appears around the Las Vegas stage and is splashed across billboards.
In the Biblical sense, The Four Horsemen are described in the Book of Revelation as bringing with them: conquest, war, famine, and death. This is a symbolic link to the true persona behind the magicians and their hidden intention.
"I think worldwide economic chaos could occur during 2015 – 2016, as the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse ride, with the Third Horseman being Economic Chaos." – Revelation13.net
The First Act
An account holder at the Crédit Républicain de Paris, Etienne Forcier is chosen (seemingly at random) from the Las Vegas audience and apparently transported via teleportation to France where he activates a vacuum which showers money onto the Las Vegas crowd. After the show concludes, FBI agent Dylan Rhodes, played by Mark Ruffalo, and Interpol agent Alma Dray are brought together and arrest the four magicians, only to quickly release them due to lack of evidence.
The Debunker
Following the Four Horsemen is Thaddeus Bradley, played by Morgan Freeman, a former magician turned debunker. Thaddeus is a "truther" who broadcasts a conspiracy theory style television program which exposes "The Eye", as well as the secrets of magicians. Bradley intends to monitor the activity of the Horsemen and in turn sell a series of DVDs which will reveal their illusions.
The hidden allegory is that "Freeman" represents the prisoner who freed himself from the cave of Plato and intends to shine light on the illusions and trickery of The Eye – the Illuminati.
"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." – 2 Corinthians 4:18 NIV
"Imagine prisoners who have been chained since childhood deep inside a cave. Behind the prisoners is an enormous fire. The shapes cast shadows on the wall, which occupy the prisoners' attention and they speak to the shadows even naming them as they pass. This is the only life they know. Now imagine a prisoner is released and compelled to leave the cave, in time he would learn to see the sun as it is, and that it provides the seasons and the courses of the year and presides over all things in the visible that they had seen.
Once thus enlightened, so to speak, the freed prisoner would no doubt want to return to the cave to free "his fellow bondsmen". The problem however is that they would not want to be freed: descending back into the cave would require that the freed prisoner's eyes adjust again, and for a time, he would be inferior at the ludicrous process of identifying shapes on the wall. This would make his fellow prisoners murderous toward anyone who attempted to free them." – Plato's Cave
Thaddeus Bradley Reveals The Trick
Agent's Dylan and Alma meet with Thaddeus Bradley who explains how the French bank was robbed far prior to the Las Vegas show. Bradley reveals that the French audience member was a plant, chosen specifically and placed under mind control/hypnosis that caused him to believe he had been transported to France and outside of Las Vegas. The money in the real French vault was replaced with flash money that was burnt leaving no trace, while the actual French money was showered on the Vegas crowd.
The Second Show – Mardi Gras
Agents Dylan Rhodes (Mark Ruffalo) and Alma Dray (Melanie Laurent) follow the Four Horsemen act to Mardi Gras. This event occurs during the spring equinox which represents the chemical turning point in alchemy. The hoodwinkers manage to steal $144,579,651.00 from Tressler's account and electronically distribute it to an audience composed of Hurricane Katrina victims.
In Simple Gematria 1+4+4+5+7+9+6+5+1 = 42. According to modern Jewish interpretation the number 42 also equates to the number of stations or so-called stops every person will accomplish in his life. This is also recognized as the 42 steps toward spiritual growth and is closely identified with the numerical equation "4×2 = 8", symbolic of eternity or the everlasting soul – as shown in the looping pattern of the number 8.
After the Four Horsemen escape, Alma informs Dylan that the Order of the Eye is likely a real secret society pulling the strings behind the scenes, and are capable of using real magic.
The Third Act
Dray and Rhodes discover the location of the Horsemen apartment and pursue the group. While giving chase the group is able to evade authorities, but Jack Wilder is apparently killed in the chase on the 59th Street Bridge when his car crashes and explodes.
The remaining Horsemen upload a viral video to Youtube vowing to complete a mission "bigger than themselves". Their next heist is of a money-filled safe held in an Elkhorn company warehouse. The final act of their show is held at 5 Pointz in New York. Unable to be caught the remaining trio leaps from their rooftop stage and transform themselves into a shower of fake bills (fiat money) that rain down on the crowd.
Thaddeus Is Framed
The stash of actual cash is found in Thaddeus SUV. Thaddeus is arrested, presumably under the assumption that he is the Fifth Horseman. Rhodes visits Thaddeus in prison and reveals himself to be the actual man on the inside – The Fifth Horseman. Jack Wilder had faked his own death and the entire magic act and illusions were part of a grand plot to put Thaddeus behind bars. Dylan even mentions that the Four Horseman never kept ANY of the money.
In Summary – The Hidden/Esoteric Allegory Of Now You See Me
The scripting of the film is built around the tropes of alchemy/occult numerology. Each of the Horsemen, rather than being fleshed out, are simply used as symbols of alchemy/numerology minus any character growth. The Four Horsemen are separate pieces or elements of the seasons – a 12 cycle year with four seasons. This is why during the stage shows of the Horsemen 12 lights can be seen behind the group. This is also why the numerology of the 4:44 PM was chosen on the initiation/tarot cards shown as 4+4+4 = 12. "The Eye" in the film is always linked with the numerical 6 designation as are the 3 magic acts. This is a numeric clue as to the true persona of the films 'Eye' which in reality is an allegory for the Illuminati. The hidden apartment is given the number 6, while the billboard in Times Square which displays the hidden eye is adorned with 6 lights. Prior to each magic show the characters Danny Atlas or Merritt McKinney flash the A-OK sign, in hidden/esoteric terms this is meant to signify that the audience is being placed under a hex (in occult terms this would be apart of hexcraft magika). In a sense the magicians are attempting to practice 'real magic' during their shows which is accurate to the films plotline that 'The Eye' practices real magic as well. The numerical designation of the number six which shows itself around the magic show, the apartment, and the billboard are meant to symbolize 666 in Gematria.
The Four Horseman in occult terms symbolize the greater mysteries arriving to create a stone – the great work of Alchemy. In the biblical sense this so-called stone represents the coming of the Fifth Age and arrival of the four hardships described in Revelation as: war, famine, pestilence, and death. The film shows the link between tarot cards and characters as symbols for the four elements, which are initiated/blended together via the ritual of the apartment. In occult terms the apartment represents a cave and the magician behind the rite is the hidden alchemist. The apartment is owned by 'The Eye', an allegory for Illuminati control. In the biblical sense the hidden alchemist or arcane spirit behind the Four Horsemen is empowered through evil (recall the goal in the plotline of the film is revenge and not love).
In symbolic terms, The Four Horsemen are going through three acts or stages of illusion/distraction which symbolize three world wars played out on a global stage. The first two world wars have occurred, while the third act of world war is shown developing in Chinatown (China), which is the location of the hidden cave/apartment belonging to The Eye/Illuminati. The goal of the magicians is to ascend to the golden age (New World Order) and usher in a totalitarian kingdom which will wipe away all the kingdoms of old. This is why 5 Pointz in New York is chosen as the final stage prior to the vanishing act of 3 members of the Horsemen. Here 5 Pointz represents the arrival of the 5th age and the end of the period of biblical grace and mercy.
When the group vanishes at 5 Pointz (representing ascension to the 5th age) the crowd below are showered in fake currency which means a global economic crash is taking place and that the group of three figures are symbolic of the third horseman riding in the persona of pestilence. The fake currency also represents the fiat money of the global banking cartel and that it is worthless currency destined to fall and usher in the final age of man.
Behind each acts of distraction in the film the group were always attempting to reach the New World Order (initiation into The Eye). This is also why Merritt gives the dual peace hand gesture prior to being captured. The peace hand sign has dual meanings, it is symbolic of the Roman numeral V, and used in secret society circles as the sign for the 5th age. Since the film used The Four Horseman as symbols/elements then they must achieve balance and rebirth through the process of Alchemy. In order to reach ascension one of the elements must first go through a trial of fire, which is the earth sacrifice of the Jack Wilder character in the film. Wilder is ritually sacrificed for the so-called greater good, for those familiar with the tropes of the Illuminati you should see the Frankist/Sevi ties here.
For the Illuminati the so-called 'fifth objective' is the creation of a totalitarian society which will eventually be governed by the biblical beast often referred to as Antichrist. In reality the global elite view their sinful actions as helping to pave the way for a NWO to emerge, an order where sin and guilt do not exist and where all people can become ascended masters – angelic beings. World wars and the loss of human lives are not of importance to the elite, neither is the well being of the poor as the goal of the so-called Illuminati is the 'fifth objective', that is all the ends justify the means, including sacrifice. They also hold to a 4 tier idealist hierarchy shown below.
The Four Tier Belief System Of The Illuminati:
Neo-Zionist, Frankist, Shabbatist, Eurocentric Secularist
With the "death" of Jack Wilder an 'ends justify the means' scenario is played out and the Horseman once again sacrifice their new found fame and fortune to blindly follow the path laid for them by the Eye.
Morgan Freeman represents the 'Freeman' of the Plato's Cave allegory. The freeman wants to liberate and enlighten his fellow bondsmen to stop watching shadows on the wall and to come out to the light under the sun and governed by the four seasons. In reality the shadows in Plato's cave can be summed up as sports, politics, entertainment, and film.

Video : Mucha.
Alphonse Mucha. ((1860 – 1939). Winter. (1896). Art Nouveau. All the poetry and delicacy of Art Nouveau.
Mucha is at the origin of Art nouveau. Its very floral style is characterized by sinuous lines in whiplash, fine flowers with double tail, female reasons with long floating hair and delicately attenuated letters. Mucha becomes the poster artist appointed of the French artist Sarah Bernhardt and one of the poster artists most required. It painted hundreds of posters, for the country cottages, the cookies Lefčvre Utile (Lu) and the Cigarette paper Job for example.
In 1896 the first ornamental panel of Mucha, the four seasons is printed.
Alphonse Mucha likes to work of the series of panels. In addition to the principal panel which, later tightened adapted as a calendar for the Chocolate Masson, it carries out the 4 seasons detail. Spring, the Summer, the Autumn and the Winter. It is the same for the Series of the flowers in 1898 with the Eyelets, the Irises, the Lilies and the Pinks. Invaluable stones, Amethyst, Ruby, Topaz and Emerald. Arts in 1898, Hours of the Day in 1899 and the Series of the Moon and stars in 1902. To represent the allegory of Winter Mucha cannot use sheets of flowers. It judiciously replaces those by the branches of the trees naked or snow-covered. The branches describe arabesques and volutes as if they were sheets or flowers. The characteristic lines in whiplash are on with dimensions ones. To represent the rigors of the winter Mucha chooses a beautiful young woman heating between its hands a small bird. 3 other sparrows await their turn on a branch in front of it. The style of Mucha it is also the poetic allegory, delicacy and refinement. This explains its immense success as a poster artist, the industrialists have any refinement no delicacy and poetry their is unknown. Thus when they find an artist who can insert their marks in this universe in charge of direction and of charm they do not release it any more…
The point of view of the spectator is located between the face of the young woman and the 3 birds. Work is all in length and the glance goes up naturally towards the action. the hands of the model and the 3 birds.
The body of the model is on 4 tension fields and 3 natural points of interest.
The birds are located exactly on the natural point of interest right superior.
The character is surrounded by snow and white which express the cold but to emphasize its Mucha model uses an artifice, it adds in the background a vegetable form pointing out the shape of a tree of orange colour. This makes it possible the young woman to be detached well from the background. Better than if this one had been white.
Work is built on the large rising diagonal. A great majority of the guiding lines go up. The character is slightly tilted towards the line.
Details :
To heat the bird the young woman tightens it in her hands and the approach of the heat of her face.
These 3 sparrows have the dishevelled feathers and seem transit of cold, they tighten the ones against the others to try to be held hot.
Naked branches or glazes of snow describe the arabesques and the lines in the form of whiplash characteristics of the Art nouveau.
Light : The whiteness of snow in the foreground clarifies the scene and the model.
Colours :
Contrasts between hot and cold colours.
1 only contrast between complementary colours.

Report on Tolkien's Diaries from the Cheltenham Festival of Literature Spring Weekend - Guardian Unlimited Reports on Literature Festival.
An interesting quote from Jon Andriessen, who works for the Guardian Unlimited regarding Tolkien's diaries.
Humphrey Carpenter dusted off his 25-year-old biography of JRR Tolkien in a topical celebration of the man behind the hobbits. He revealed that Tolkien had kept his diaries in Elvish. With the help of his wife, Carpenter eventually decoded them on the discovery of the phrase, "I gave up smoking for Lent."

Divine dining room design!
When it comes to dining rooms, I think there are 2 types of homeowners: those that love having a formal dining room for hosting family gatherings and large parties, and those who will maybe use the dining room table once or twice a year and spend the remainder of the year wondering what to do with that space so that it gets used more often. No matter how you use your dining room, I can bet you that it's due for a design update!
For those of you wishing to keep your dining room a space to break bread with loved ones, but who are looking to give your space a bit of an update, you may be wondering where to begin. Because purchasing new dining room furniture is quite an investment (or because you may be hanging on to a family heirloom), I suggest you start with the lighting. Often times if find that dining rooms have old, outdated chandeliers that are often too small for the space. How do you know what size you should buy? Here are some handy tips I like to refer to:
If you are sizing your chandelier to your room, follow this simple formula: add the length + width of the dining room. Convert that number into inches and that will tell you the size chandelier you need. For example, for a 10′ x 12′ room you add 10 + 12 = 22 feet. Simply change that number to inches and you will discover that a 22 inch chandelier will suit your room perfectly.
You can also size your chandelier to your dining table. The rule of thumb here is that your chandelier should be between 1/2 to 2/3 the length of the table and no greater than 12′" narrower than the width. Hang your lighting so that there is plenty of space to ensure that no one hits their head! A good rule to follow is for every foot of ceiling height, the chandelier should be 3" in height. Rooms with ceilings 9' tall or more can handle larger chandeliers with two tiers to fill the space.
I often like to match the shape of the chandelier to the shape of the table. Hang a round drum shade above a round table or a long rectangular chandelier above a long, narrow dining table. And I absolutely love to hang two chandeliers above a nice big table. In the case of two chandeliers, choose a style that is 1/3 the width of the table and then hang them in the center of each half of the table.
When it comes to chandeliers, I think that it's better to be bigger. An oversized light fixture looks far better than one that is too small.
Now that you've got your lighting figured out, where's everyone going to sit? Ahhh, the seating! Do your best not to cram too much into this room, otherwise we're afraid it'll look like a furniture warehouse! If you can, allow for 24-28 inches of table length for each person (add a bit more for those sitting near the corner). So a 72 inch table should comfortably seat six people and a 96 inch table can accommodate 8. If you like the idea of a round table (great for conversation), a 54-60 inch table can seat 6 people and a 72 inch round table can seat 8. Be sure that there is 12 inches of space between the table and the seat cushion of the chair.
You should also plan for at least 32-36 inches of space between the back of your chair and the wall or furniture. If there's a traffic zone, plan for 42-48 inches (if it's at all possible!).
Rugs are a fun and inexpensive way to update your dining room. There are so many options available today, your choices are endless! There is everything from traditional oriental rugs to modern graphic patterns and everything in between! All of them are suitable for a dining room update! Choose a rug fabric that is easy to clean and will resist (or at least hide) stains! I often recommend indoor/outdoor rugs for eating areas because they are so easy to care for! As for the size of your rug, we recommend that it's at least 24-30 inches wider than the table so that your guests can push their chairs away from the table and still be situated on the rug.
Add pops of color with slip covered seating. You can choose to do all of the chairs or just the 2 chairs at the head of the table. You can even pick a pair of comfy wingback chairs for those lucky guests who get to sit at the end of the table. Or, get creative and pair an upholstered bench with your dining set.
I love the idea of designing a dining room so that it's multifunctional and so that the space isn't collecting dust while waiting for guests to arrive! With so many of my clients working from home these days, I find that they are often looking for a nook in their home where they can set up a home office. Why not use the space you have in the dining room? Just be sure to have lots of pretty and functional storage to contain the clutter!
Give your kids some extra space to be creative or do homework. Design your dining room to do double duty! Kid friendly by day, ready to dine by night!
I love books. Like, I mean I really love books. And I am still a bit, "old-school", as some may call it, because I haven't entirely converted to a digital reader. Mostly because I love the feel of the pages in my hand and the smell of an old book. The challenge is, where do I store all of these books? I like to keep them nearby for quick reference, which is why I love the idea of adding shelving to a dining room. Not only does it look great, but surely those books will prove to be a great conversation starter!
Don't let that precious square footage in your home go unused! Give your dining room the love and attention it deserves!

Tom Maynard: Father Matthew says son was 'a really great bloke'
The father of Surrey cricketer Tom Maynard has spoken of the pride in his son as a "really great bloke" in his first interview since his death.
Cardiff-born Maynard, 23, was hit by a London Underground train in Wimbledon on 18 June.
Father Matthew said: "The amount of letters that we've had shows how he turned out as a really great bloke.
"There can be nothing more rewarding for a parent knowing how your lad's turned out like you hoped them to."
He added: "The thoughtfulness that he had for others wasn't as apparent as it has become with the letters that we've received and that fills us with a lot of pride.
"His cricket was going in the right direction but that for us is going by the by.
"We are so proud of how he turned out, how he was as a player, how he was as a person and we always will be.
Figures from the sporting world were among more than 1,000 mourners who attended Maynard's funeral at Llandaff Cathedral, Cardiff, last month.
An inquest into his death has been opened and adjourned until 24 September.
The death, which is not being treated as suspicious, was announced a day after he played for his county in the t20 game against Kent.
Maynard had previously played for Glamorgan until his father left his role as the club's coach in 2010.
'Lovely character'
"I wouldn't wish it on anyone," Matthew said. "It's not just the two months now, it's always going to be with us.
"How we react in future and how we go about it in future no-one knows. That's going to be the tough thing.
He added: "He just had a lovely character. He never got above his station. he just had that wonderful way about him I suppose. He had his mother's cooler nature. I suppose.
"We just wanted to have an opportunity to thank everyone who's supported us, reiterate really how proud we are with our lovely lad and that will always be the case."
The Tom Maynard Trust was given the go-ahead by his family last month and will initially help the development of aspiring disadvantaged cricketers.
"The idea was mooted fairly early on but we weren't really in a position to sanction at that stage," said Maynard.
'Incredible support'
"Reading the letters that have come through, people had said how much Tom had helped their charity, it kind of made us re-think I guess.
"It's something we believe he would want us to do and it's had incredible support so far."
The first fundraising event takes place on Monday with a bike ride from the Swalec Stadium in Cardiff to the Kia Oval in London.
Maynard, a former England and Glamorgan batsman, will be among the cyclists who are due to at the Oval on Tuesday just before the Tom Maynard memorial match between Surrey and the Welsh Dragons starts.
He added: "I'll do my best because Tom was never a quitter and he'd hate to think his old man would quit on something so I've tried to get the miles in.
"Whether I've had enough time to get the miles in I'm not sure, but I'm going to give it my best."

Our Experience & Strengths…
Authors of Creative Content – Strategic Sustainability & Collaboration Planning
Our strengths are building and conceptualizing collaborative opportunities while supporting the development of sustainable communities. Special interest and expertise include urban agriculture & strategic community engagement.
Our Method…
We are creating a database of growers to build an engagement platform, illustrating the viability of a local sustainable community ecosystem. By matching each grower based on their sustainable reciprocity, we are connecting people based on their individual requests and offerings. This approach aligns with our practice to be economically balanced, transparent and fair.
We will illustrate the geographical connections of each sustainable ecosystem created by our communities. This approach aligns with our practice to be diverse in size and scale, geography, culture and choice. In furtherance of this, we will provide the opportunity for social intersections within our communities, and create a different approach by digitizing communal gardening practices.
We Believe…
We believe that people can co-create a community based food system among individual growers in communities. Together, we can sustain a global food system that is based on bartering and sharing what we have from where we live, work and play. Providing a sustainable community ecosystem allows individuals to grow plants, edibles and/or ornamentals, both beneficial to the environment and supportive in growing a sustainable community food system. This collaboration between nature and neighbors is CCB's approach to be inclusive of and aligned with the principle of sustainability and resilience.

Adrian Malprave was the fictional owner and CEO of Malprave Industries, a multinational conglomerate based in Switzerland. She appeared as the main antagonist of Electronic Arts' 2001 video-game Agent Under Fire, voiced by Corina Harmon (credited as Corine Harmin).
Starting with a small shipping concern twenty-five years prior to the events of Agent Under Fire, Adrian Malprave developed her company into one of the world's largest and broadest multi-national corporations; actively involved in oil, shipping and emerging fields such as bio-technology. Only recently coming to the attention of MI6, Malprave had been photographed with known underworld figures such as mercenary Carla the Jackal, and an investigation revealed that some of her connected subsidiaries had no apparent corporate function or income at all.[1] Obsessed with genetic engineering, Malprave uses several of her companies as a front for human cloning. Obtaining blood samples from eight prominent world leaders, she devises a scheme to kidnap and replace them with with identical clones during a G8 summit in the Mediterranean held aboard the British aircraft carrier, HMS Excalibur.
However, her plans are complicated by the resignation of one of her scientific minds, Dr. Natalya Damescu, who seeks out protection at the British embassy in Bucharest, Romania. In a bid to kidnap Damescu, Malprave has British diplomat Reginald Griffin replaced by a clone. Unable to remove the body from the Embassy, the clone zelously guards the locked room, which inadvertently draws the attention of MI6. The kidnapping is frustrated by the intervention of James Bond, who follows a trail of genetic samples - including that of Griffin - to the Embassy. Posing as a lost security guard, he accidentally encounters Malprave in Griffin's bedroom and pockets a nearby security card before she escorts him out. Unlocking the office, 007 finds Griffin dead and is held at gunpoint by the Griffin Clone. After overcoming him, Bond accesses Grffin's computer and finds a message from Malprave's underling, Nigel Bloch, ordering the clone to bring their defective merchandise (i.e. Damescu) to the Malprave Industries HQ, in Switzerland. Bond heads to Switzerland, where he attempts to interview Malprave as journalist 'Mr. Somerset'. However, he is informed that his interview has been delayed and is urged to wait in the CEO's office by her (presumably cloned) assistants Bella & Bebe. It is there that he recognises Malprave from a stained glass window and realises that his cover has been blown. Attempting to kill him, Malprave promptly sets her security on the spy during his escape from the facility.
Continuing her plan to deal with Dr. Damescu, Malprave orders her associate Carla the Jackal to lead a raid on the Romanian embassy before the scientist can trade information about her Poseidon cloning facility to Bond and MI6. 007 inevitably foils the attempt on Damescu's life, procures the information and destroys the Poseidon facility. Teaming up with CIA agent Zoe Nightshade (whom Malprave had intended to replace with a clone, infiltrating the CIA), Bond heads to the Mediterranean G8 summit and, while unable to prevent Malprave's men from kidnapping the world leaders, he foils her attempt to replace them by destroying a helicopter transporting the replicas. Held under heavy guard at her headquarters in the Swiss Alps, 007 infiltrates the facility and frees the heads of government. In revenge, Malprave sets the base to self-destruct. After a firefight with Nigel Bloch, Bond follows him into Malprave's main office and shoots him with a rocket launcher, sending him crashing through the stained-glass window to his death. Just as Bond manages to leap free of the base before it explodes, Malprave appears and tries to jump clear too, but is consumed by the blast and dies. Bond lands on a military aircraft being commandeered by Zoe, and together they escape the smouldering base.

Why is Red Meat Not Good for Us: When We Evolved from Meat Eating Hunter Gatherers?
Competency #5 What to EAT
Reference: "The Way to Eat" by David Katz
Red meat is full of saturated fats. They are correlated with creating vascular disease. Saturated fats are only half as bad as trans fats, but they clearly get an F for nutritional value. So, didn't Paleolithic man have heart attacks? Well, no, probably not. From a variety of sources, we know that hunter-gatherers living around the world virtually never get diabetes, or vascular disease.
This is an important nuance to understand. Here is the difference. Modern cattle and hogs are fed grain. Good beef is about 27% fat content. That's the farmers goal. Maximum weight gain in minimum time. Interestingly enough, if you are a hunter and have had a successful deer hunt this season (ends today: which prompts this email) you are eating meat with about 4% fat in it. Deer feed on green grass and other fresh vegetation (mostly from your garden). Their body fat is actually mostly PUFAs (omega fatty acids). Those are the fats that are good for you. Paleolithic man chased down and ate 70% of his/her calories from wild game, fish or shellfish. We evolved over millions of years accommodating to eating a pretty high protein diet that had omega fatty acids as the primary fat. That became a healthy fat to eat. Our bodies need it. At the 4% mark.
Now, in the last 200 years we invented industrial agriculture and feed our cattle grain. Just 100 years ago, our farmer fore bearers let their cattle graze in the pasture. Now they get corn from a bin. The fat they gain is made internally because they are fed more calories than they need, or even that they have to work for. (Sounds a lot like us) Their fat tissue is composed of heavy saturated fats. When we eat that fat, we have trouble with it because our bodies have never had a chance to get attuned to that type of fat. It raises our inflammatory processes. When we eat saturated fats the extra calories and the inflammation caused by saturated fats gives us a one-two whammy. It's just not the same as when we are starving and walking dozens of miles searching for our next meal. Sorry, I forget, we don't do that anymore. We've replaced the 10 mile search for food with ten steps to the fridge…
This also explains the paradox of why ocean salmon are filled with omega fatty acids and farm salmon less so. Ocean raised salmon eat little fish that feed on littler fish that feed on blue green algae. Omega fatty acids are made by blue green algae and grass. Ocean raised salmon have lots of omegas. Farm raised get most of their calories from corn. The protein is good for you. The fat in the farmed fish doesn't have quite the same makeup.
So, question: Are grain fed chickens better food choices? Yes, if you take off the skin where the fat is stored. But guess what is in the fat of grain fed versus "free range" chickens. You're right: saturated fats are in the skin of all poultry. Their breast meat is much lower in fat than mammal red meat.
For those of you who had a happy hunting season, congratulations on finding high quality protein with healthy fats in it.
Literature for the Week: "The Way to Eat" by David Katz. This book is as solid as Walter Willet's. If you liked Walter Willet and his "Eat Drink and Be Healthy" get a copy of "The Way to Eat" on your holiday gift list. Your family can find a copy for you at all local bookstores. (He is an ABC doctor commentator, Oprah magazine columnist).
WWW: What Will Work For Me: I'm not a deer hunter. I didn't eat the skin off the turkey this year. It was sad. But until I walk to work each day, the choices I make mean I just can't eat all the calories in the fatty red meat, or that chicken skin.

|Fantastic. I have used nearly all of the major carriers, and I always found the customer service very lacking. Finally, disillusioned with major carriers, I tried pre-paid. I was with Simple Mobile for a couple of years. It was okay, but not great. I finally switched to Net10, and I found it to be really painful. Reluctantly, I decided to try Red Pocket before going back at the big guys. Because Red Pocket costs more than most pre-paid services, I almost didn't give them a try. I am so glad I did. The features offered along with the superior service and rock-solid network makes Red Pocket a huge bargain. I am delighted to pay a few extra bucks for such an amazing experience. I couldn't be happier. Simply the best carrier of mobile service I have experienced.
|Great customer service, great plans. No issues at all. Agents are also super polite and efficient. I'll be staying with them for a while.
|Red pocket sim did work in my att iphone without my iphone being unlocked which was nice feature but their phone support couldn't get mms to work they kept telling me i needed to jailbreak my iphone and im like hell no. So i fooled around on google stumbled upon a few good websites and youtube vids, well it comes down to if you want mms to work your att iphone will need to be unlocked so i purchased the unlock and found out a tmobile sim allows access to the mms settings. I had an old tmobile sim laying around cut it to size and was shocked that a full sized sim i hacked down with scissors worked enough for me to enter those advanced mms settings. Long story short i have full access to internet and mms. However I'm not thrilled with red pockets data plans i may switch out to tmobile i rather my data throttled then cutoff i shouldnt be too suprised red pocket is an att ho-ho i mean mvno
|Pinal Bavishi
|Great offers. Great Customer service. Pretty Good coverage. Extremely satisfied.
|I switched to Redpocket from AT&T a week back and it has been really awesome. The coverage and data rates are the same as ATT. I had some jitters in the activation but the call center service was excellent. I always getting through to the service center in less than 2 minutes and the call center staff were very professional and helpful. Configuring the data plan on the phone was really easy.

And you know what? His breath was bad. How does a two year old develop such raging morning breath?
Anyway, I feel like this was a major step in the perpetual little boy hygiene war. I quickly explained that by brushing his teeth, his bad breath would go away.
Wow, I just sounded like a commercial.
He bought right into that. Probably because he couldn't stand the taste in his mouth any longer. Post brush, he ran into our bedroom to let Mr. Yoy smell his clean breath. In return, Mr. Yoy blew his morning dragon breath right into Big E's face.
I guess that was payback for yesterday's monstrous behavior.
Take that, Big E!

Waterproof ribbon allows you to bring the colourful, festive look of decorative bows outside. This versatile material also has culinary applications because it's not destroyed by the moisture of foods. Use waterproof ribbon to decorate for your next outdoor barbecue, put it on a birthday cake or come up with inventive methods of incorporating the material into your outdoor space. The ribbon comes in a range of widths and colours.
Tie waterproof ribbons to the chair backs of patio furniture, outdoor wedding seats or other furniture to add decoration for an event.
Use waterproof ribbon to decorate your yard for an upcoming holiday. Combine red, white and blue ribbon for Independence Day; use red and green for Christmas; use pink, yellow and blue for Easter or come up with your own colour combination for a special occasion. Tie bows around trees, weave the ribbon in and out of fence posts, add embellishments to holiday yard decor or hang alternating flat colour strips beneath a window for a nontraditional, yet colourful look.
Place a yellow waterproof ribbon around a tree in your front yard to show your support for a family member or friend in the military or troops in general. Tie a ribbon around one tree or deck out your entire yard. The ribbon should last through all types of weather.
Wrap waterproof ribbon around a large gift. Make a bow to place on the roof of a vehicle, tie one to the handlebars of a bicycle or other gift that can't be brought inside due to its size or use.
Place a strand of waterproof ribbon around each layer of a layer cake to add colour and texture. Wrap it gently around the cake, pressing it into the frosting to hold it in place.
Most recent
- While waterproof ribbon lasts for long periods of time outdoors, be aware that the colour may gradually fade when exposed to intense sunlight.
- Use waterproof ribbon indoors as well. It can take the place of many traditional ribbon types if necessary.

Fast feedback is all the rage. At tech companies, engineers build and release new products quickly so they can gather user feedback and make swift changes, an approach at the center of Eric Ries' famed book The Lean Startup. Now companies want to bring the principle of fast feedback to H.R.
Rather than checking in only once a year to assess employee morale or performance, businesses are wanting to speak with employees more frequently. Performance reviews are a good example. Companies like Accenture, Adobe and GE have moved away from reviews once a year to quarterly check-ins.
Taking faster, frequent check-ins on employee engagement is the latest trend. One tool companies use to do that is Glint. Similar to products like Culture Amp, TINYpulse and HighGround, Glint software specifically for employee engagement. The tools allows companies to obtain an ongoing read on how employees feel about their jobs. Glint was founded in 2013 in Silicon Valley and has United Airlines, eBay and LinkedIn as a few of their clients.
EBay began using Glint in November 2015. Heather Neville, the head of HR operations for eBay, stated that the company had to stop using a competitors of Glint because it would take months to see any survey results. Today, eBay runs engagement surveys with their employees three times a year and receives results immediately. New employees also receive two pulse-checks in the first 90 days of hire. Throughout the year, eBay also releases ad-hoc surveys "to test a particular theory, go deeper on an aspect of culture or conduct an ethics survey," said Neville.
The polls only take three minutes to finish, and they ask employees to what extent they agree with statements like, "the work I do at eBay is meaningful to me," "I'm excited about our future," and "eBay has a great culture."
Clint is used by eBay to foster more communication across ranks. When an engagement survey closes, "managers host a conversation with their direct teams to talk about the results, drill deeper and get more insights," Neville says. Good managers probe to learn and create an improvement plan if morale is low for a period.
Neville oversees the use of Glint by almost 2,000 managers at eBay. The tool even helped Neville discover a blind spot of her own. When Neville has gone on vacation in the past, she wouldn't put her team members' contact information on her automatic out of office email reply. "I was trying to protect them," she says. However, the results of a Glint engagement survey showed that some of the team members were concerned that Neville didn't trust them to take care of business while she was out of the office. The feedback led her to change her approach from out of the office. She also thinks getting fast feedback through the tool has started more broad conversations about her and team members' expectations. "I think it's the right dialogue to be having," she says.

Rs 5.04 lakh crore
What is it? The market capitalisation of Reliance Industries (RIL) as on Monday, the second company to cross the Rs 5 lakh crore mark after Tata Consultancy Services.
Why is it important? Investors are betting on better business prospects as their telecom offering, Reliance Jio started charging its clients, and other investments in petrochemicals space getting realized soon.
Tell me more: Since the beginning of this year, RIL has gained 43.5%, more than double of the Sensex index (20.6% in the same period). IT major TCS crossed the Rs 5 lakh crore mark in market capitalisation on July 23, 2014.
Rs 510 crore
What is it? The national box office collection of the Hindi version of the mythological sequel, Baahubali 2.
Why is it important? This is nearly 42% of the total box office collections of the top six Hindi movies (Rs 1,218 crore) in the first half of the year. This is probably the first time that a dubbed movie (originally, in Telugu) has overtaken Hindi movies by box office collections by a wide margin: Shahrukh Khan's Raees earned only Rs 139 crore while Salman Khan's Tubelight fetched Rs 121 crore. Even last year, it was Disney's 'The Jungle Book' (dubbed in Hindi) that was the highest grosser at around Rs 110 crore, surpassing movies from the 'Bollywood' industry.
Tell me more: Dharma Productions spent Rs 95 crore in the acquisition of rights and distribution of Baahubali 2.
$53 billion
What is it? The potential economic losses due to a major cyber attack, according to a report by Lloyd's of London and Cyence, a cyber risk analytics modelling firm.
Why is it important? This is roughly equivalent to the economic losses caused by a catastrophic natural disaster such as the 2012 Superstorm Sandy, says the report. The economic costs in hypothetical hacking of a cloud service provider is huge compared to the global cost of $8 billion of the 'WannaCry' ransomware attack in May. Due to lack of historical data on cyber attacks and their potential costs, it is a great challenge for insurers to estimate their potential exposure.
Tell me more: For a hypothetical cloud service attack, the average economic losses would range from $4.6 billion for a large event to $53 billion for an extreme event, according to the report. The actual losses could be as high as $121 billion, of which as much as $45 billion may not be covered by cyber policies due to under-insuring by firms.
$850 million
What is it? The revised offer for buying Snapdeal, the embattled e-commerce firm, by larger rival, Flipkart.
Why is it important? It is still lower than the reported sum of at least $900 million that Snapdeal wanted from India's largest online marketplace. But the revision is $100-150 million more than Flipkart's first formal offer ($700-750 million). Snapdeal's board is considering the offer.
Tell me more: Flipkart wants to pay $650-700 million in equity shares and another $150 million later. Along with the SoftBank Group, Snapdeal has 25 institutional shareholders and dozens of individual part-owners.
$3 billion
What is it? The penalty payable by Reliance Industries (RIL), Shell India and Oil and Natural Gas Corp (ONGC) – the joint owners of Panna-Mukta oilfield – to the government.
Why is it important? This comes after a London-based arbitration panel decided in favour of government in October, 2016. The owners of the oilfield were deducting higher taxes (prevailing at the time of getting the oilfield in early 90's) even though corporate tax rate has dropped to 30%. Lower deduction of taxes would mean higher share of profits for government. The penalty is to recover past due from the owners of the oilfield.
Tell me more: RIL and Shell each own 30% stake in the PMT fields, while ONGC has 40%. The ruling entitled the government to a larger profit share and more royalty payment. The government is also locked in a dispute with RIL over the KG-D6 basin.
