Happiness is too many things these days
for anyone to wish it on anyone lightly.
So let's just wish each other a bile less
New Year and leave it at that..
From New Year's on
the outlook brightens
good humor lost in a
mood of failure returns.
I resolve to stop complaining.
The objective of a new year is not
that we should have a new year.
It is that we should have a new soul.
May you smile,
May you prosper with every second for the next 365
days, and I wish that this cycle continues forever.
May the telemarketers wait to make their sales calls until
you finish dinner, may the commercials on TV not be louder
than the program you have been watching, and may your check book
and your budget balance – and include generous amounts for charity.
May you remember to say "I love you" at least once a day to your spouse,
your child, your parent, your siblings; but not to your secretary,
your nurse, your masseuse, your hairdresser or your tennis instructor.
Your Merry Christmas may
depend on what others do for you.
But your Happy New Year depends
on what you do for others.
And may we live in a world at peace and with the awareness of God's love
in every sunset, every flower's unfolding petals, every baby's smile,very
lover's kiss, and every wonderful, astonishing, miraculous beat of our heart.
As the new year blossoms, may the journey
of your life be fragrant with new opportunities,
your days be bright with new hopes and your heart
be happy with love! Happy New Year!
May what you see in the mirror delight you,
and what others see in you delight them.
May someone love you enough to forgive your faults,
be blind to your blemishes, and tell the world about your virtues.
May New Year's Eve find you seated around the table,
together with your beloved family and cherished friends.
May you find the food better, the environment quieter,
the cost much cheaper, and the pleasure more fulfilling
than anything else you might ordinarily do that night.
It is better to spend money
like there's no tomorrow than to
spend tonight like there's no money.
May your hair, your teeth, your face-lift, your abs and
your stocks not fall; and may your blood pressure, your triglycerides,
your cholesterol, your white blood count and your mortgage interest not rise.
May you get a clean bill of health from your dentist,
your cardiologist, your gastro-enterologist, your urologist,
your proctologist, your podiatrist, your psychiatrist,
your plumber and the I.R.S.
Pay your bills and loans
before New Year Eve,
so you don't have any
debt left for New Year.

To put it simply, gold is for boys. If you're focusing your energy into something, or even just creating a certain atmosphere, gold is an important color to have around if the person you're trying to accomplish the thing for is male.
The sun is generally considered to be male, so if you want to represent the sun in anything you're doing, you going to want to have the color gold around.
Gold is the color you want to use when focusing energy into matters involving money. Gold represents wealth in more than one way. If you're looking to create abundance in anything, whether it be financial fortunes, creative ability, intelligence....if your goal is true perfection, the color gold is going to help get you there.
Where most people (including myself, until I did some research) would assume that green is the color you want to use for luck, gold is actually the color you need. Especially if the good luck you're looking for is needed quickly.
Gold is a color of power, speed, and abundance. It's like the sun, burning energy endlessly, never resting.....like a CEO who never sleeps. Gold is the color you need around to give you a boost if you want to make your fortunes change drastically. And fast.

- This article contains text copied from Wikipedia under the terms of the GFDL. It needs to be edited to have a Computer vision focus.
A digital camera, as opposed to a film or video camera, uses an electronic sensor to transform images (or video) into electronic data. Modern digital cameras are typically multifunctional and the same device can take photographs, video, and/or sound.
In 2005, digital cameras are starting to push traditional film cameras out of many markets. Shrinking device sizes have recently allowed miniaturized digital cameras to be included in multifunctional devices, such as cell phones and PDAs.
Digital cameras can be classified into several groups:
Video camerasEdit
- Professional video cameras such as those used in television and movie production. These typically have multiple image sensors (one per color) to enhance resolution and color gamut. Professional video cameras usually do not have a built-in VCR or microphone.
- Camcorders used by amateurs. These are a combination of camera and VCR to create an all-in-one production unit. They generally include a microphone to record sound, and feature a small LCD to watch the video during filming and playback.
Still camerasEdit
Digital still cameras are generally characterized by the use of flash memory and USB or FireWire for storage and transfer. Most have a rear LCD for reviewing photographs. They are rated in megapixels; that is, the product of their maximum resolution dimensions. The actual transfers to a host computer are commonly carried out using the USB mass storage device class (so that the camera appear as a drive) or using the Picture Transfer Protocol and its derivatives. All use a CCD (for Charged Coupled Device) which is a chip comprised of a grid of phototransistors to sense the light intensities across the plane of focus of the camera lens. There has recently been some application of a second kind of chip, called a CMOS (Cadmium Metal-Oxide Silicon) sensor, and this chip is often differentiated from a CCD proper in that it uses less power and a different kind of light sensing material, however the differences are highly technical and many manufacturers still consider the CMOS chip a charged coupled device. For our purposes, a chip sensor is a CCD.
- Standard Digital Cameras: This encompasses most digital cameras. They are characterized by great ease in operation and easy focusing; this design allows for limited motion picture capability. They have an extended depth of field. This allows objects at multiple depths to be in focus simultaneously, which accounts for much of their ease of focusing. It is also part of the reason professional photographers find their images flat or artificial-looking. They excel in landscape photography and casual use.
- Digital SLRs typically have a sensor nine times larger than that of a standard digital camera, and are targeted at professional photographers and enthusiasts. They resemble ordinary professional cameras in most ways, with replaceable flash and lens components, which give the user maximum control over light, focus and depth of field. They are also bulkier and more expensive than their casual-use oriented counterparts. They are superb for portraiture and artistic photography because they can be customized for various applications with a comprehensive range of exchangeable lenses.
Professional modular digital camera systemsEdit
High-end digital camera backs used by professionals are usually separate devices from the camera bodies which they are used with. (This is because most of the large- and medium-format camera systems in professional use at the time that digital capture overtook film as the professional's medium of choice were modular in nature, i.e. the camera body had multiple lenses, viewfinders, winders and backs available for use with it to fit different needs.) Since the first backs were introduced there have been three main methods of "capturing" the image, each based on the hardware configuration of the particular back.
The first method is often called "Single Shot," in reference to the number of times the camera's sensor is exposed to the light passing through the camera lens. Single Shot capture systems use either one CCD with a Bayer filter stamped onto it or three separate CCDs (one each for the primary additive colors Red, Green and Blue) which are exposed to the same image via a beam splitter.
The second method is referred to as "Multi-Shot" because the sensor is exposed to the image in a sequence of three or more openings of the lens aperture. There are several methods of application of the multi-shot technique. The most common originally was to use a single CCD with three filters (once again red, green and blue) passed in front of the sensor in sequence to obtain the additive color information. Another multiple shot method utilized a single CCD with a Bayer filter but actually moved the physical location of the sensor chip on the focus plane of the lens to "stitch" together a higher resolution image than the CCD would allow otherwise. A third version combined the two methods without stamping a Bayer filter onto the chip.
The third method is called "Scan" because the sensor moves across the focus plane much like the sensor of a desktop scanner. These CCDs are usually referred to as "sticks" rather than "chips" because they utilize only a single row of pixels (more properly "photosites") which are again "stamped" with the Bayer filter.
The choice of method for a given capture is of course determined largely by the subject matter. It is usually inappropriate to attempt to capture a subject which moves (like people or objects in motion) with anything but a single shot system. However, the higher color fidelity and larger file sizes and resolutions available with multi-shot and scan-backs make them attractive for commercial photographers working with stationary subjects and large-format photographs.
- Webcams are digital cameras attached to computers, used for video conferencing or other purposes. Webcams can capture full-motion video as well, and some models include microphones or zoom ability. These devices range in price from very inexpensive to expensive higher-end models; many complex webcams have a servo-controlled base capable of tracking facial motion with the help of software.
Practical resolution considerationsEdit
It is important to note that with any digital camera system not using the beam splitter single-shot approach or three-filter multi-shot approach, some image color or resolution "interpolation" is taking place. The software specific to the camera interprets the information from the sensor to obtain a full color image. This is because in digital images, each pixel must have three values for luminous intensity, one each for the red, green, and blue channels. However, a photosite on a regular (non-Foveon) sensor cannot simultaneously record these three values, which is why the Bayer filter is used. A Bayer filter is actually a pattern of red, green and blue light filters applied one color to each photosite on a chip or a stick (usually there are about twice as many green filters as there are either red or blue because the frequencies of light in the green spectrum tend to represent a more neutral intensity value for interpolation's sake, sitting as it does nearer the center of the visible light spectrum.) The two luminous intensity color values not captured for each pixel are then interpolated (or guessed at) from the values of adjacent pixels which represent the color being calculated. In some cases, extra resolution is interpolated into the image by shifting photosites off of a standard grid pattern so that photosites are adjacent to each other at 45 degree angles, and all three values are interpolated for "virtual" photosites which fall into the spaces at 90 degree angles from the actual photosites.
Many digital cameras can connect directly to a computer to transfer data. USB is the most widely used method, though some have a Firewire port.
Digital cameras need memory to store data. Cameras use a removable memory card to store data, but the cheapest and smallest cameras may simply use fixed internal memory instead. Some cameras come with inbuilt memory as well.
Autonomous devicesEdit
An autonomous device, such as a PictBridge-compatible printer, operates without need of computer control. The camera connects to the printer, which then downloads and prints its images. Some DVD recorders and television sets can read memory cards.

Dear Rhonda and Dr. Cheri,
My dad is not an idiot, clueless, class-less, childish, immature, bungling, sex-obsessed, hopeless, selfish and uncaring man.
My mom is usually a wonderful mom, but, she and my sister laugh at all kinds of TV shows, You Tubes, and commercials that portray men as clumsy, stupid oafs—you know what I mean. Why do they do this?
I'm a guy who is a senior in high school. I've been attending college for two years. I'm on the dean's list, I'm a youth leader at my church, I help in the house and the do yard-work, I volunteer for a charity, play five musical instruments, have a seriously challenging part-time job and I have played many sports.
You know why I am a guy with character, values, goals, talents and the Lord in my life? Because of my amazingly loving and caring dad! My dad doesn't drink, doesn't have affairs, and tries hard to be with all of us at dinner time. If my mom's home late from work, he helps start dinner. He always kisses her when she gets home.
Why are girls so sexist now?! If I did any of this, and if I said anything like this about girls, I'd be in trouble at school and with my mom … so this sucks!
Why are guys the joke of the world today?
Why is this all right?
Dear Why,
We have not one good reason why your mom and sister find it funny to degrade men. This has certainly become common over the past decades. It's not okay; however, it's not about you!
Do not worry about what your sister and mom do to degrade, dismiss, and devalue men or anyone else. Their "why" isn't important for you to try to figure out. Don't waste your precious time, energy and soul on others (even family members) and why they behave poorly. Just love them and set the same good example your dad does and be happy. Your joy could even turn them around to a realization that your happiness brings you peace and hopefully they will hunger for the journey you must embark upon.
Others are trying to define you without your consent. Don't allow it to occupy your mental space. Every morning, get up and spring into action. Don't define yourself from the outside in but rather, the inside out! Be the gentleman you already are!
Unfortunately, our culture and current society is conducting itself without dignity, respect and civility, especially towards boys, husbands and men in general. (And you're right: women would never tolerate being portrayed the same way.) We need to find the good in others and similarities in each other. We need loving, giving and the generosity of hearts, like you have, to help others. Service small and big, gratitude, and forgiveness need to be your landing mark all the time.
You don't have time to misuse worrying about the behavior of your sister and mom.
Rhonda and Dr. Cheri

If there's one trend your little one can't hide from this season, it's camo! Climbing the ranks to style sergeant within his platoon of pals, these cool olives, earth tones, and stony shades would make even Rambo totally jel. Whether it's an allover print or just a stripe of the action, it's pretty easy to stand out in camo.
Forget blending into the background: we're all about making a mark with these bold and brave pieces – there's no danger of your little warrior going incognito! This season sees new camo color combos catapulting into their closets: shades of blue and splashes of neon make this timeless military trend a modern-day must-have. Welcome your kiddos to the fashion troop without spending a fortune: new pieces that cost just $2.50? That's an undercover victory for all!
These comfy combos nail those effortlessly cool athleisure vibes. They'll have little soldiers marching from sofa to street, double-time. It's a trend that combats all seasons and is set to stick around – so get yours now and he'll be the coolest kid in the camp! Add in basics like a white distressed tee to break up the pattern, and let the print do all the talking – easy!
Streetwear takes top priority with this trend. But if you're seeking something a little bolder for sunny summer events, go minimalist with camo (it's totally doable!). Team tapered camel chinos with an oversized jacket, and add the print with a longline tee. A bag or camo-covered cap adds a subtle color top-up into their spring wardrobe, and eases them into military style. Ten HUT, moms and dads! Get to the store ASAP before it takes off!

What You Need To Know About Automated Sales Funnels and How They Can Help Your Business
I've learned SO MUCH in the past 18 months about growing an online business. My primary focus has been on implementing next level sales funnels and marketing strategies.
I learned more in the past 18 months than I did in all 4.5 years I spent in college, and the previous 5 years I spend as a serial entrepreneur combined.
Boy, did I make a lot of mistakes.
But I had some HUGE wins, too!
I've learned that it doesn't have to be so hard to have consistent growth in your business.
And that working smarter, not harder, is a very real, wonderful thing... not just a marketing ploy with unfounded expectations.
I've learned that most people want to take the cheap, easy route...
but the only way to succeed is by doing the work and getting your hands "dirty".
You might be getting conflicting messages here... "work smarter, not harder... yet get your hands dirty...?"
Let me explain...
What is hard is: losing clients, not being able to pay your bills, spinning your wheels for years on end, racking up credit card debt without a chance to pay yourself. I have been there.
What is not THAT hard: committing to taking on the CEO role in your business, following proven strategies, setting up systems, staying faithful in the things that matter.
It takes a certain person to not flake out, but those are the people who make it in the end.
Maybe that's a bit brash, but I believe today's online millennial entrepreneur needs to hear it.
There are no magic wands or get-rick-quick schemes that will work for anyone.
(And who ever is marketing that crap needs to knock it off ASAP!)
Your business is like a house, and how you build your foundation determines if it will withstand the long haul.
That's why I love sales funnels and why I teach my clients concrete strategies.
Sales funnels will revolutionize the way you do business. That is, if you approach it with strategy and follow a proven model.
No need to re-invent the wheel here, hallelujah!
But first things first, if you're not even sure what a sales funnel is or why you need them in your business, here's what you need to know...
What Is A Sales Funnel, Really?
A sales funnel is, in simplified terms, a series of pages and automated emails that nurture and give value to the subscriber, automatically.
When done right, a sales funnel will lead to automatic sales.
Meaning, they will allow you to stop doing the manual work in your business which leads you to exchanging dollars for hours.
*cue confetti toss!*
A sales funnel begins with you, the marketer and business owner, providing free, high-value training or content to your ideal client in exchange for their name and email address.
After that exchange happens, the subscriber enters a nurture sequence through automated e-mails that build rapport, overcome objections, answer questions and lead that subscriber to becoming a buyer.
Sounds easy enough, right? Well... let's not get ahead of ourselves.
There are so many variations of what that "training" could be and also an unending variety of options when it comes to creating the e-mail sequence. We'll cover that in a moment.
Before we talk about that, let's break down why sales funnels are so valuable in the first place...
Why Do I Need A Sales Funnel..?
Think about the dynamics of a networking party.
You enter the room (God bless us, extroverted introverts, these kinds of functions are exhausting) and you see a whole mix of people chatting while they hold their clear cups of party punch.
There are very likely a few people in the crowd who could benefit from your services...
But how do you figure out who those people are?
How do you strike up the conversation appropriately?
What if you miss out on valuable connections?
Now, I believe that fate has a way of bringing people together, but let's be practical here... you have a limited amount of time, and as far as I know, only one mouth and one body to move about the crowd shaking hands and making short introductions.
It's literally impossible to meet everyone and give them all the same valuable conversation.
Sales funnels are the online solution to the "network party problem".
They allow you to connect with an unlimited amount of people, give them the same high value and experience, and offer them your product or service without it feeling like you're asking for a marriage proposal before the first date.
I see Facebook Groups having a similar conundrum.
There are countless Facebook groups filled with thousands of entrepreneurs, creatives, coaches, and consultants.
But how do you stand out there?
Who really has time to be in every group, posting countless times each day?
Sorry, but that don't pay the bills and if you can't scale it.. do you really want to be doing it day in and day out?
I'd rather see you building your OWN Facebook group community!
(Pssst... and you can do that with a sales funnel.)
So at the end of the day, you need a sales funnel if...
You want to stop trading dollars for hours
You want to generate automatic sales in your business
You want a system to book up your calendar with Discovery Calls automatically
You want to start generating passive income
- You want to actually have freedom to step away from your laptop and not be "on" 24/7
- You want to work less yet accomplish more
- You want to have a truly sustainable business
What Makes A Sales Funnel Successful?
When we create sales funnels, we work backwards, so we always start there before we even start talking numbers or sales.
This means we look at what we're actually selling and then we'll determine what funnel would actually work for that price point and program. This is crucial.
It doesn't make sense to sell a $27 program on a webinar and it would hardly convert if we presented a $10,000 program in an e-book.
You have to make sure that the program and price point is preceded with the appropriate value and length in nurturing.
Think about it, you don't want to ask a stranger off the internet street to pay up $5,000 if they don't know a thing about you.
Here are a few keys to making sure your sales funnel converts:
- Choose the right funnel strategy for your offer
- Give free, high-value training or content to wow your subscribers
- Present your free content in a way that shifts their paradigm vs. overloading them with 27 pages of overwhelming information they won't know how to implement
- Use as many emails as needed to nurture the subscriber before a hard pitch (7-9 touch points is baseline for almost any funnel)
- Address top 3 objections in your e-mail sequence
- Offer a Discovery Call or Sales Call when appropriate
- Use an application form for high price point programs
- Use tagging and list segmentation to optimize sales
- Drive paid and organic traffic into the funnel
How To Create Your First Successful Sales Funnel
Two key things whether your sales funnel will be successful or not:
1. The right strategy
2. The best tools
Almost every online coach or online entrepreneur can succeed with my personal favorite, the webinar funnel.
If you're looking to make serious money online, then I highly recommend webinars.
But webinars are becoming a dime a dozen, so knowing how to promote and present your webinar is everything when it comes to getting sales.
The Right Strategy
When we create a new webinar we start by defining what the ONE BIG THING is that we want our ideal clients and viewers to learn and take away from our presentation.
Science has proven that the brain can only learn so much at a time, so the traditional webinar just doesn't work if you want to gain customers who you can actually help inside your program.
Traditional webinars are long and overwhelming...
They give too much content that it confuses the viewer into feeling paralyzed with fear.
Then many marketers will prey on that fear and pitch their product as the only hope for their dismal situation.
We do not operate this way at all :)
We like to empower our viewers into seeing how possible it is for them to have what it is that they want... so that's how we present our training.
Let me tell ya, it feels muuuuuch better that way!
So after we decide on the ONE BIG THING, we create an enticing, exciting title followed by three bulletpoints of what they will learn on the free training.
These bulletpoints support the ONE BIG THING and help break belief patterns that have been keeping our prospects stuck in their current situation.
I have found that if you can do just one thing for someone who comes to your webinar training it ought to be this:
Instead of overwhelming your viewers with information that they could have googled on their own, why not help them have a powerful paradigm shift instead?
Yes, absolutely teach! Give insane, life-giving value!
But if you succeed at one thing, it should be in breaking their old belief patterns and re-building them so they can see the new reality that is possible for them and also be encouraged to take quick action.
"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
-Maya Angelou
Besides, the best way to REALLY help someone is by getting them to take action. Action is everything.
After you deliver the presentation, you'll want to send out a replay and then enter your subscribers into a nurture sequence encouraging them to purchase or book a call with you.
There are specific ways to do this that we just can't possibly cover in a blog post, so click here to sign up for my free training where I walk you through how to implement it.
Ideally, once you've done this webinar presentation, and if it makes sense for your business, you should be able to turn the whole thing on automate.
This is what I call the Evergreen Webinar Funnel and it's what we teach our clients inside Funnels: Unleashed.
The most important thing is to understand that there's a rhyme and a reason to the webinar funnel, and all funnels, and you don't have to reinvent the wheel and figure it out on your own.
I've hosted over 100+ webinars in my years as an entrepreneur and have had thousands of people go through my webinars.
They have attributed to $100k+ launches and $50k+ months in my business.
And they are an absolute gamechanger.
The Best Tools
Now, I have used so many tools online but I'm going to be straight with you.
Some people will try to overcomplicate things and tell you to invest thousands of dollars in a software because it's what they say "the only way to do it right"
But I've found that in our day and age, we have access to the best softwares without having to overspend or overcomplicate.
Personally, we use ClickFunnels and ActiveCampaign for our funnels.
With the price you pay and the features they offer, it's a no-brainer.
I suggest doing your research on your own, but if you know you want to create your own sales funnels you're going to want to ensure that the softwares you use allow you to:
1. Drag and drop design your funnel pages
2. Connect your funnel pages together easily
3. Track clicks, conversions and track other important data
4. Segment your list so you can see who is actually engaging with your content vs. who isn't
5. Set up certain "buckets" in your funnel with specific e-mails going to specific people
If you want to try our ClickFunnels for free for 14 days, you can click here. I'm an affiliate, just FYI.
Now, what?
Now you know about sales funnels, the importance of a solid strategy, what makes a successful webinar and so much more.
You might be wondering how to piece this all together and make it work for YOU in your specific business and industry.
Here's the good news: sales funnels can be simple and work for almost any person in any industry. You just have to make smart, calculated decisions.
That's why I put together this free online training class for you, so you can learn how to create a sustainable business with sales funnels through a proven process!
It doesn't have to be that hard but you DO need to understand the strategy before you try to create the system in your business.
That's why I'm hosting this training class.
Because I believe every woman entrepreneur deserves to be empowered with the real, concrete strategies that are working in our industry so they can actually reap the rewards the flashy marketers are promising but not always delivering.
You don't have to be a techie or a sales pro to master this, either.
Anyone can benefit from sales funnels.
You are only limited by your willingness to take action.

text: So I have two appliances in the cargo box behind my rig that can't get below freezing- an Eccotemp propane water heater and a Shurflo water pump. I bought two 12v heater fans and put each in front of each appliance and it worked alright for most of last weekend, but it started reading 90 degrees in the cargo box and the wires were getting hot. Of course they eventually died halfway through the night. It got down to 25. Thankfully the appliances somehow survived. They're hard to access so I can't really wrap pipe heater coil around them, which I presume is the 'right' way to winterize, so does anyone have any ideas of something more reliable than heater fans? Maybe a 12v cushion seat heater that I could just squish up against them?

Sculpture a solstice sacrifice in Wellington
Jun 21st, 2018 | By Nicholas Hendricks | Category: Arts/Entertainment, Editor's Picks, Front Page Layout, News, Top Picture
A cardboard harpy monster will be burnt on Wellington waterfront this evening to celebrate the Winter Solstice.
Artists Leda Farrow, Jen Eccles, Andrew Laking and a small army of volunteers took 109 hours to construct the cardboard and paper mache monster.
Leda Farrow, a fine arts graduate of Massey University, described the creation as "quite twisted, a bit creepy".
The piece is called Seraphina.
Seraphina was created through a synthesis of Balinese and pagan influences.
The team was mainly inspired by the Ogoh-Ogoh demons of the Balinese "Day of Silence", where the demon effigies are paraded around villages and then burnt in cemeteries.
"They're meant to represent the impurities of humans, and they're very creepy, but very colorful and festive at the same time," says Ms Farrow.
"We were very inspired by that."
The demon has been on display in Wellington Central Library's foyer since June 6.
It is part of a larger festival of winter celebrations called Lōemis.
Visitors were invited to interact with the sculpture.
A small table held pencils and paper to write messages to the creature, who holds an egg and has a second mouth in her chest.
Things people want to dispel from their life are written down and placed in the chest mouth to be 'consumed'.
The egg is for people to place messages that invite positive elements into their lives.
"The egg is a symbol of fertility, rebirth and new beginnings," says Ms Farrow.
"It's the idea of being able to rid those awful negative energies of winter."
The sculpture's appearance is confrontational, but could have been even more eye-catching.
"Originally she was going to have nipples," says Ms Farrow.
But Wellington Central Library thought that was too risque, so the design was scaled back a bit.
The materials for Seraphina were taken from recycling dumps and bins, and paint was donated by Resene.
Ms Farrow's colleague Jen Eccles, who works as a set designer, used a technique that involved looping cardboard and stapling the rings closed to construct the sculpture.
Paper mache made of the outer layer of the cardboard was applied to hold the rings together.
The Wellington-based artist is currently working on her masters degree, and is interested in animated figures and performance.
Ms Farrow is excited to see Seraphina engulfed in flames.
"What I love about this effigy is that it's animated by fire. You light it and it has it's life for 10 minutes or so while it's burning."
The parade starts at 5:30pm in Civic Square.
Accompanied by a live band, Seraphina will be escorted to Wairepo Lagoon.
She will put out on a raft and set ablaze.

We ❤ Warhol will feature screen-prints and paintings all for sale by artists influenced by the iconic American artist, Andy Warhol responsible for 1966 film Chelsea Girls, and leader in the visual art movement 'Pop Art'.

Jérôme is known for his impressionistic oil paintings but is also a top class screen printer transforming everyday life and landscape into a pop art frenzy.

30 Mar 3 Important Tips for Choosing a WordPress Theme
So you've decided to launch (or relaunch) a new website. This is an exciting time for you, your brand, and your business! While there are many steps to take in order to ensure your new website's success, choosing a WordPress theme is often underestimated in its importance. The theme of your WordPress site is just that: it showcases the general subject of your website and serves as a supplement to the message of your brand. For this reason, here are 3 crucial tips for choosing a WordPress theme that best suits your needs.
When in doubt, choose a simplistic and customizable theme.
Browsing different WordPress themes can get overwhelming very quickly. With countless options for colors, layouts, animations, and other features, how do you choose? In order to avoid trying to filter through all of the themes at once, there are a few tricks you can do to ease the process from the beginning:
- When in doubt, simple themes go a long way for your website. Minimalism in design and color give you the opportunity to let your message and images shine through.
- Simple themes also serve as a great base for customization. Laying down the right groundwork gives you room to build upon it with plugins and brand-centered imagery.
- Consult with professionals who have expertise in WordPress and web development. They are able to help guide your choice in an effective direction that is best for your business. Additionally, they will often have a collection of time-tested themes already in their arsenal for you to confidently choose from.
Design for the best user experience
Another reason to go simpler with the theme is that overcomplicated websites prove more difficult for users to navigate. Of course, you want your website to look great and innovative, but the ultimate goal of your website should be to create a valuable resource within your industry. When choosing a theme for your new website, consider who your audience will be and what they are looking for. Take the time to browse preview demos of themes to get a feel for what it will be like when users visit your website. Putting yourself in the perspective of your customers can help you decide the theme that suits both your needs and theirs.
Responsiveness is a must.
A responsive theme is no longer just an optional feature when building a website. Website responsiveness is characterized by consistency and efficiency in all online environments. With so much web traffic coming from smartphones and tablets today, ignoring this fact can seriously hinder the success of your website. Not only do you want to find a theme that looks great, but you want to make sure it looks great on all platforms and devices.

Uber has launched an electric scooter service in its first US city – months after applying for a permit to take part in a 12-month test program on the streets of San Francisco.
The ride-hailing firm has launched a scooter option within the Uber app in Santa Monica, California through the Jump bike sharing service it acquired for over $100m back in April.
In order to make use of a Jump scooter, Uber users can make a reservation through the app or by walking up to an available scooter. To do this, they have to the mode switch option at the top of the home screen and select 'Bike & Scooter'. Here, the user will be able to see the available Jump scooters nearby.
Once at a scooter, the user has to scan the QR code on the handlebar using the app and then they're ready to go. To get going, the user just has to push the green tab next to their right hand and can press the red brake on the left handlebar to slow down or step on the rear brake.
"As we work towards having your phone replace your car, we're thinking about all the possible times you'd hop in the car and go, and what smart, equally as convenient option we could offer to get you there instead," said Rhea Dookeran, scooter product manager at Uber, in a blog post. "Whether going that last mile home from the train, to your favourite nearby restaurant, or between offices, scooters are an affordable, environmentally friendly way to get there. We can't wait to bring scooters to more cities and help people conquer those short trips."

A Father/Daughter, Mother/Son dance held at a small North Carolina elementary school is getting attention after deputies stepped in for the parents who didn't show up.
It happened at Bonlee Elementary School in the Chatham County community of Bear Creek, and nearly 100 students in kindergarten through fifth grade attended. Four deputies (three men, one woman) attended with the idea of replacing the missing parents. They not only coaxed children to the dance floor, but some of the children started showing off their dance moves.
"We wanted families to have a good time together, but we recognize that not all children live with their parents and not all parents are able to take off work to attend a school event," Donna Griffith of the Chatham County Sheriff's Office said on Facebook. "The community really seemed to embrace it and students are already asking for it to be offered again next year."
"It felt like something the kids really needed," Deputy Jonathan Thomas wrote in a Facebook post. "School dances can feel a little awkward at first, but once the kids saw us out there being silly they knew it was okay for them to jump in. I think it also gave parents the courage to let go and join in with us."
The deputies have been praised for their act of kindness. "Saying I love this just isn't enough," posted Daphne Owings on Facebook. "Please make this happen again next year."
"Y'all are wonderful!" Debbie Sumner posted.
Lindsay Griffith Holton posted, "You guys are awesome and you have some pretty good dancers on your team."

While perusing old magazines for inspiration, I happened upon this favorite from the May 2008 issue of Metropolitan Home. This home takes my breath away. Owner, Jim Dow purchased this 1920s Mediterranean in Seattle's Queen Anne Hill. Dow hired designer Garret Cord Werner and landscape architect Bruce Hinckley of Alchemie to create an urban retreat.
The design team considered the importance of continuity and flow throughout the spaces. The color palette is simple and masculine. The incorporation of slots in the walls is a theme carried throughout all the spaces. Particularly the use of cubbies for wood ties together the dramatic living room and family room carved out of basement below.
The focal kitchen is sophisticated and sleek, opting to use custom open steel shelves instead of typical upper cabinets. The stunning walnut slab dining table branches out of the bar and allows a moment of organic departure from the rigid orthogonal lines in the home. I fell in love with the vintage 1970s Castelli armchairs that surround the table and found them via 1stDibs, a great online resource for finding antiques.
The masterpiece of this home is the spa-like master suite bathroom featuring a Japanese soaking tub recessed into the floor. The tub transitions into the exterior pond. It doesn't surprise me that Dow mentioned that he takes a bath every night. The water feature of this tranquil oasis continues into a garden, then cascades down the retaining wall into a pool.
The use of concrete and steel creates seamless transitions from interior spaces and the exterior, elegantly bringing the outside in.

Bayesian inference for treatment-biomarker interaction in clinical trials
Chen, Bingshu. E.
Jiang, W.
Tu, Dongsheng
MetadataShow full item record
Some baseline patient factors, such as biomarkers, are useful in predicting patients' responses to a new therapy. Identification of such factors is important in enhancing treatment outcomes, avoiding potentially toxic therapy that is destined to fail and improving the cost-effectiveness of treatment. Many of the biomarkers, such as gene expression, are measured on a continuous scale. Threshold of biomarker is often needed to define sensitive subset for making easy clinical decisions. A novel hierarchical Bayesian method is developed to make statistical inference simultaneously on the threshold and the treatment effect restricted on the sensitive subset defined by the biomarker threshold. In the proposed method, the threshold parameter is treated as a random variable that takes values with certain probability distribution. The observed data are used to estimate parameters in the prior distribution for the threshold, so that the posterior is less dependent on the prior assumption. The proposed Bayesian method is evaluated through simulation studies. Compared to the existing approaches such as the profile likelihood method, which makes inference about the threshold parameter using the bootstrap, the proposed method provides better finite sample properties in term of the coverage probability of 95% credible interval. The proposed method is also applied to a clinical trial of prostate cancer with the serum prostatic acid phosphatase (AP) biomarker.

Holstein Kiel vs Nurnberg
Germany – 2. Bundesliga
Date: Monday, 23 April 2018
Kick-Off at 19:30 UK
Venue: Holstein-Stadion (Kiel)
Holsten Kiel look to break into the 2. Bundesliga top 2 as they host 2nd placed Nuernberg for their Matchday 31 clash on Friday evening in great form, after bagging three draws and four wins in their last seven outings – including a great 0-4 win in Dresden last week. They now sit just two points behind the rivals and this serves a great opportunity to do so.
Nuernberg also come into the match on the back of a five-game unbeaten streak but their 1-1 draw at Ingolstadt has seen their woes on the road on display, as Michael Kollner's men failed to earn an away win since January. They've been a tough side to beat and earned four draws in five trips with just a single loss along the way but it's questionable if this will be enough ahead of the trip to Holstein-Stadion.
The Storks have been very good in the attacking third in front of the home crowd and we'll now surely see them very motivated to build on such records as well as the 2-2 thriller at Max-Morlock-Stadion. They have high hopes to secure the promotion to the Bundesliga in their first second-tier campaign and the points here could come in crucial.
Holstein Kiel vs Nurnberg: Head-to-head
Nuernberg have netted two late goals to secure a home point against the rivals back in November 2017.
This will be only the second head-to-head clash for the sides, as Holstein Kiel secure the promotion after promotion.
Storks have been a much better side at this ground and could be too much for the visitors on the day.
Holstein Kiel vs Nurnberg: Predictions
We will now stick our necks out for such an outcome and go for a Home win at 2.05.
We will also go for another exciting matchup between the sides as we also back Over 2.5 goals FT at 1.72.
Holstein Kiel vs Nurnberg: Bet Tips
- Home win @ 2.05
- Over 2.5 goals FT @ 1.72

I have a massive sweet tooth, I can't deny it. Lately, I have been working really hard to enjoy more fruit-based desserts than, oh let's say…cake. Since we're grilling dinner multiple times a week I like to try an incorporate grilled desserts too. One of my favorite things to add to my grill, regardless of the main course, is this delicious caramelized brown sugar grilled pineapple. Grilling pineapple is beyond easy and the addition of the brown sugar "marinade" makes this dessert out of this world.
The prep work is minimal and can be done ahead of time if you are entertaining. Simply cut a fresh pineapple into spears and marinate in the butter and sugar mixture (full recipe below.)
If you are making this for a party simply throw it in the fridge at this step until you're ready to grill. Otherwise, place on the grill on medium-high to high heat for about 6 minutes per side or until caramelized.
The heat of the grill softens the fruit and brings out all of that delicious sweetness! Serve by itself or over vanilla ice cream, I guarantee you you'll fall in love with this recipe once you try it!Print
Brown Sugar Grilled Pineapple
Every meal at the grill deserves to be topped off by this easy grilled Pineapple Dessert! Sweet pineapple is coated with a butter brown sugar mixture and grilled to caramelized perfection!
- 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) butter, melted
- 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 ripe pineapple
Cut pineapple into vertical spears and set in a bowl.
Mix melted butter, brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and pour over pineapple. Turn pineapple spears to coat on all sides.
Grill pineapple on a clean grill at medium to medium-high heat for 6 minutes per side or until golden brown.
Serve immediately, alone or over vanilla ice cream.

Shortly after leaving his previous band Kirlian Camera, keyboardist Fabrizio Chiari formed the Italian darkwave band East Wall in 1982, going on to recruit Tiziana Wells (vocals, synths) and Angelo Bergamini (synths, piano) for the rest of the lineup. While their debut 1985 single 'Eyes Of Glass' enjoyed huge success in Germany, it wasn't until 1991 that East Wall finally self-released their debut album 'Silence.' Viewed 25 years on, it's curious how in retrospect 'Silence', now newly reissued on vinyl by Dark Entries with an unreleased bonus track and another track in previously unheard extended version form, represents a curious meeting point between moody darkwave and Italo-house, an evolutionary strand that perhaps could have been explored much further.
The previously unreleased opening track 'Intro' offers up a scenesetter more than anything else as martial synth-horn fanfares unfurl against a brooding backdrop of midtempo kickdrums and crashing industrial snares, the resultant track calling to mind one of early Skinny Puppy's elegantly arranged yet distinctly murderous instrumental segues. Title track 'Silence', presented here as a previously unreleased extended version meanwhile sees East Wall's fusion of darkwave atmospherics and propulsive dancefloor rhythms reaching full bloom as Wells' goth-operatic vocals swirl against a backdrop of burbling bass arpeggios and gliding drum machine rhythms, and icy synth pad trails magnify the coldly brittle surfaces.
'Ice Of Fire' pushes things much further into synth-pop territory as Wells' delayed out multi-tracked vocals stretch out over a backdrop of colourful synth-stabs and punching house rhythms, the cut-up and stuttered vocal samples calling to mind a more Italo-house centred take on Yello, before 'Twenty Five Sunsets Before Dawn' changes the mood entirely with a downtempo instrumental wander through elegant piano arrangements, refracted synth counterpoints and airy background ambience occasionally accompanied by subtle spoken words.
If the aforementioned track occasonally suggests an awkward fusion of Tangerine Dream-style New Age ambience and contemporary classical, 'Angelo' sees East Wall's unexpected fusions yielding more fruitful results, with Wells' operatic vocals given free rein to soar over an eerily atmospheric backdrop of glittering synths, sombre synthesised strings and clattering programmed percussion, in what's easily this album's most lushly cinematic moment. With original copies of 'Silence' sitting near the $100 mark on Discogs and an apparently ghastly bootleg pressing floating about, darkwave afficionados are likely to be stoked with this latest reissue from Dark Entries.

Himalaya Acne n Pimple Cream comes in a tube type packing. It is beige in color and has a mild pleasing fragrance. The cream can be used as a face cream or as an as spot treatment.
How I use it? I wash my face with sebamed clear foam face wash and apply this cream on pimples as an overnight treatment. Small pimples vanish off with 2 days treatment, and big one take 4 days to disappear without leaving a mark. It works best when it is applied at the first sight of acne arrival. To reduce the visibility of the old acne marks this cream could be used on the spot and left overnight. Himalaya Acne n Pimple Cream has extracts of lentils, silk cotton tree, alum, and five-leaved chaste tree. I feel that this cream lacks moisture and make skin little bit stretchy when it is used all over the face , so I avoid using it as a face cream.
Easily available
Nice fragrance
Prevent acne mark
Reduces acne size within one use
Skin feels stretchy when it is used all over the face
Himalaya Acne n Pimple Cream is an amazing cream which works efficiently on acne when used as a spot treatment. It reduces the acne size and makes it fade away without leaving marks. It is efficient and inexpensive cream- must have for women with acne-prone skin.
Price: Rs.45 for 20g
CC Rating: 4.25/5

You'd probably get fizzy drinks if you put dry ice in them! We used to have a gadget that dispensed fizzy water that used a bottle of water and a little metal capsule that probably had hi pressure CO2 in it.
I imagine the manufacturers just bottle the soda while it is under pressure.Some CO2 goes into solution until you open the bottle and release the pressure. Why do you think they use carbon dioxide? Does temperature effect how "bubbly" soda is?

If you've watched the movie Zero Dark Thirty then this book will make sense. It's from the perspective of one of the Navy Seals who was on the raid. But the reason I read the book was because the Pentagon had it's panties in a wad about the book being released 🙂
As civilians we must actively seek to understand what our service men and women undergo and help where we can. I have 2 ways I help our military, one of the is by being a customer of books like this.

Candide Takes a Ride at Sacred Fools
"Must despair be my only companion?"
Jon Jory's new adaptation of Voltaire's signature novella, Candide, launches Sacred Fools' 19th season, with lead actor Scott Golden as the eternal naif and a supporting cast of six, inhabiting dozens of roles in a heroic journey for intimate stage.
Jory's alteration is a minimalist concept, envisioned with a much more "bare" set and simple storytelling compared to much of what has been showcased of late at Sacred Fools. The truly imaginative aspects are rendered within the characters and the actors who play them exquisitely. The usual "Fools" imprimatur is covered here throughout the comedy with plenty of gags and non-sequiturs that never fall flat...
There is danger (which isn't particularly dangerous), betrayal (which didn't seem so bad), and injustice (but then new hope always prevails), in pursuit of love (he gets the girl in the end, but there's catch) treasure (which he keeps giving away!) and despicable pleasures (we would have definitely liked to have seen more of that). For Candide it really sucks being an optimist.
For anyone who is not familiar with the story (or the Sondheim updated version of the Bernstein original musical) of this play, it is a subversive and unpredictably humorous satire – bawdy, absurd, playful, often sarcastic and somewhat moralistic. The piece was born through the actual experiences of François-Marie Arouet, later known as Voltaire, who grew up in a time when Louis XIV was king of France, the vast majority of people in France lived in crushing poverty, and the French aristocracy ruled with an iron fist. By the mid 1700s, Voltaire grew increasingly appalled by the specters of injustice, and inexplicable disaster that he saw around him. Many terrible events influenced his composition of Candide including a disastrous earthquake in Lisbon in 1755; the outbreak of the gruesome Seven Years' War in 1756; and the unjust execution of the English Admiral John Byng in 1757.
Candide rides a guileless wave that scrapes through the underbelly of life and although not in any way arrives or leaves unscathed, manages to survive the horrors of poverty, misshapen adventure, death, scandal, blind love and disappointment in what he believes is the essential goodness in humanity. Candide gives freely but is regularly rewarded with sordid acts and slimy morals of too many characters who take advantage of him. And yet he continues to "give" putting the act of goodness and rightness above all rather than succumbing to the gutter.
What is outstanding on every level are the indefatigable, and impeccably hilarious performances by the entire cast especially Kalinda Gray and David LM McIntyre who drives the extremes of the story. An absolutely honest, light-hearted and un-fabricated Golden subtly holds the show to its ever wide-eyed finale.
Highly creative and colorful costume design completely enhanced the program (especially for the ladies).
Jon Jory's Candide is a very plain comedy which hits the intellectual mark.
"Do you still believe the world is fair?"
"All for the best."

Some people are still a little sceptical about social media for business, but the statistics can't be ignored. It is quickly becoming the ONLY way your customers want to communicate – learn more…
The statistics can't be ignored as now surveys have proven that an incredible 80% of consumers would choose connecting with your business through Facebook over contacting through your website.
Some businesses are of the idea that social media can lower the tone; however this is not the case. Just like a website, a Facebook page can be as professional and high quality as you want it to be. It can be adapted to suit your ethos, your identity and your brand.
If you're unsure of social media, make sure you hire a reputable PPC Agency to manage your social media advertising.
Social Media has a 100% Higher Conversion Rate than Outbound Marketing!
The statistics don't stop there though; apparently the websites with a social stream that is constantly updated receive a 100% higher conversion rate than using outbound marketing alone. Social Media has been proved to increase sales, not just generate leads.
The results are obviously impressive, but to benefit from these incredible returns just how do you start? The time involved along with the campaigns often puts people off as CEOs and directors who manage their own social streams have admitted it swallows over 15 hours a week.
On top of this, marketers have admitted that a simple blog (which when integrated with a social media strategy has the potential to reach millions) takes from one to three hours at a time. This is when the time consumed seems to outweigh the benefits, as time is of course money too.
Maintaining the Momentum
For a social media campaign to be effective the momentum must never be lost, as this can send a company directly back to square one. A consistent, regular approach is best.
Social Media experts can do all of this affordably yet more than that, they can do it well as a professional will understand the tricks of how to crawl inside a buyers mind, engaging them from the outset and tempting them to share. You can buy likes or followers yet a true social media expert will make sure every follower is a potential client or customer, which ensures you achieve te conversion success of companies before you.
It's more than simply posting updates or tweets it's about thoroughly researching your business, analysing your target market and using psychology along with great content to produce incredible returns.
There's much more to it than this as the survey results show that over 42% of businesses believe they wouldn't exist without a social stream, while a third wish they could spend much less time managing it.
Which Site?
There are so many sites to choose from it's difficult to choose just one in the beginning, yet the statistics show that now over 90% of online businesses have a Facebook Page, while Twitter follows closely behind at 70%.
LinkedIn is ideal for professional companies and networking, while Pinterest gives ecommerce sites a platform to promote their innovative products.
With these figures increasing daily, it's easy to see how businesses can ill afford to ignore social media as a platform to drive growth, and that's where we come in!
