- About Hunger
- How to End Hunger
- Our Impact
- Get Involved
With the Iowa caucuses now behind us, there's no doubt that we are in presidential election season.
If you care about people who are hungry, then you should also care about this election. Just as we as people of faith can make a difference through legislative advocacy in Congress, we can also work to end hunger in the way we vet and elect our leaders, both for Congress and the presidency.
Our Christian faith compels us to elect wise leaders who uphold justice and the common good, especially for people who are poor and needy (Psalm 72:12-14). The Bible underscores the need for good governance and for leaders who govern impartially (Leviticus 19:15; James 2:2-4).
With that as our basis, Bread for the World, along with partner organizations, wants ending hunger and poverty to be a high priority for our next president and Congress. The time to make it so is during the election campaign.
One of the best times to raise the issues of hunger and poverty is during election campaigns. During these periods, current and potential office holders are listening the most and are making and establishing promises, priorities, and plans. Elections are times to re-assess how our common resources — our taxpayer dollars — are being used and what the role of our government should be. They are times to discuss and set our priorities as a nation. Read the full story.
Bread for the World's 2016 Offering of Letters: Survive and Thrive debuts this month.
This annual campaign has an international focus in 2016 with the topic of the nutrition and health of mothers and children. These groups are the most vulnerable to hunger and malnutrition. Malnutrition has devastating long-term consequences on health and can result in death. Focusing on the well-being of these groups through nutrition will help the world make great strides toward ending hunger altogether by 2030. This year's Offering of Letters urges Congress to affirm and provide additional resources for our federal government to accelerate global progress against malnutrition.
Zambia will feature prominently in stories. The country is a focus of the Feed the Future program — the U.S. government's global food security initiative. The campaign's toolkit provides real-life stories in print and video of programs in Zambia funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development, a major way our federal government addresses hunger and poverty overseas.
Toolkits to help congregations and other faith communities participate in the 2016 Offering of Letters will be available later in February (English and Spanish versions). See ordering information below. You can also pre-order a print kit now. Congregations that want to access the materials before the print toolkits are available can get them on the Bread website at www.bread.org/ol.
The 2016 toolkit for coordinators of letter-writing events contains many of the same items that past years' kits have contained — how-to-information on planning an event, a guide to understanding the issue in layperson's terms, items to help promote your event, videos to show during a presentation, a sample PowerPoint presentation, a sample letter to Congress, and more.
As Congress begins determining next year's funding priorities, it is important for your members of Congress to hear from you with letters early in the year. So don't delay. Start planning your Offering of Letters today.

A bill to reauthorize child nutrition programs passed out of the Senate Agriculture committee with support from both parties on January 20. The Improving the Child Nutrition Integrity and Access Act will authorize programs that make meals more accessible for children after school and during the summer months.
"Bread for the World applauds the agriculture committee's passage of this important, bipartisan bill," said Rev. David Beckmann, Bread's president. "While this legislation is not perfect, it takes important steps to connect more children at risk of hunger with the meals they need to learn and grow."
Child feeding and nutrition programs in the U.S. were the topic of the 2015 Offering of Letters campaign. As part of the campaign, people across the country wrote over 220,000 letters and emails and made thousands of phone calls to Congress about passing a child nutrition reauthorization bill. Thanks to their efforts, Congress made child nutrition reauthorization one of its first priorities this year.
The bill's initiatives include streamlined summer and after-school meal programs to serve children year-round, an expansion of the summer electronic benefit transfer (EBT) program to help families purchase groceries, and alternative methods to reach kids who cannot travel to meal sites.
These policy changes will provide children with the nutritious meals they need without cutting SNAP (formerly known as food stamps) or other anti-poverty programs to pay for charges.
Looking forward, this successful vote gives the Senate Agriculture committee leverage to bring the bill to the floor for a full Senate vote in the near future. Meanwhile, the House is working on its own child nutrition bill. No details of its contents or timeline are known at this time, but movement of the Senate bill may encourage the House to take action.
Please continue advocating for the reauthorization of child nutrition programs as the Senate advances this bill. Call (800/826-3688) or email your senator today. Tell him or her to ensure all children have the nutritious meals they need.
If you want to get regular updates on this legislation and others moving in Congress, you can subscribe to a new weekly newsletter called Fresh Bread. This quick and easy-to-read newsletter gives an update on hunger-related happenings in Congress, a summary of the past week's legislative movements, and ways for you to take action.

Reaching the goal of ending hunger by 2030 involves looking to leaders – both past and present – who can help get us there. As we celebrate Black History Month in February, we note the African-American champions of ending hunger and poverty who have led us on this road. From poets to activists and everyday community members, many leaders in the African-American community from Reconstruction to today have dedicated their lives to ending hunger and poverty.
The Harlem Children's Zone (HCZ) was started in 1970 and later expanded by Geoffrey Canada in 1990. Canada grew up in Harlem and experienced poverty as a young boy. He promised to return to his childhood neighborhood to fight hunger and poverty among low-income children, families, and communities.
For the past 16 years, HCZ has connected service programs in the community to K-12 schools. In 2015, 93 percent of students in the organization's programs were accepted to college. Last year, the organization provided over 26,000 adults and youth with services ranging from tax preparation, maternal and child nutrition assistance, early childhood education, and food services.
All of these supports contribute to financial stability in the future, which reduces the likelihood of community members experiencing hunger and poverty. In 2009, President Obama lifted this program up as an effective way to reduce hunger and poverty in African-American communities. It has since been replicated in 58 cities across the country.
In 1999, Angela Blackwell, a strong African-American leader who has a vision of lifting up effective strategies, programs, and research findings on the ground to inform local, state, and national policy, founded PolicyLink. This national nonprofit finds innovative solutions that connect low-income African- American and Latino communities most affected by hunger and poverty with services, resources, and access to employment, paid benefits, health supports, quality education, and opportunities to build a strong financial future.
PolicyLink has also supported hundreds of nonprofits throughout the nation to eliminate food deserts and empower people returning home from incarceration as well as boys and men of color. These are all things that Bread knows are essential to ending hunger within the African-American and Latino communities. Canada and Blackwell are just two of the many leaders fighting for the same vision of living in a country where no one is vulnerable to hunger or poverty. As we celebrate Black History Month, let us celebrate them and others in the African-American community who are leading the community and all of us toward a world without hunger.

Members of the Massai tribe of East Africa greet each another with the question How are the children? The greeting is for all, whether the one being addressed is a parent or not.
The question is grounded in the belief that a society's strength is tied to the wellbeing of its children. If the most fragile among us is well, then society is well. The question also indicates an intentional connection with and communal obligation to care for children.
Conversely, in the United States we often greet one another with the question How are you? The focus on individuality and self-determination is wrapped in the insulated premise of the question. Recent events have led me to reflect on the two greetings and what they both say about what we value as a society.
A few weeks ago, I testified before a panel representing the United Nations Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent. Several nongovernmental organizations made presentations on the status of African-Americans in various spheres (e.g. education, criminal justice). The focus of my testimony was the juvenile penal system and solitary confinement. I used the story of Kalief Browder to highlight all the ways the penal system fails our children and particularly African-Americans:
When Browder, who was African-American, was 16, he was racially profiled and arrested. He could not afford an attorney or bail. He was sent to an adolescent detention center. Browder was abused by guards and other boys at the facility. He was offered several opportunities to accept a plea bargain, which he refused because he was innocent. His case was constantly postposed by the prosecutor. He was sent to solitary confinement for minor infractions.
Browder was in jail for three years before his case was ultimately dismissed. He was never officially charged with a crime and never had a trial. He spent over 800 days in solitary confinement. He attempted suicide several times both while in jail and after he was released. He succeeded in taking his own life on June 6, 2015.
All of the presentations before the U.N. working group highlighted the impact of generations of marginalization and oppression grounded in institutionalized racism and classism. The testimonies revealed that the group most detrimentally impacted are children.
According the Children's Defense Fund's "Each Day in America" report for 2014, every day:
In 2012, the National Council of Churches issued a policy statement titled "The Church and Children: Vision and Goals for the 21st Century." In referring to the biblical reference to Jesus as a child, the statement notes:
When we read, "The child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom, and the favor of God was upon him" (Luke 1:40), it captures not only Jesus' story but what we hope would be the story of every child today and in all the days to come.
How better might we be as a nation if we measured our strength on the wellbeing of our children? How better might we be if every time we greeted one another we were reminded to consider the wellbeing of our children?
Rev. Aundreia Alexander, Esq. is the associate general secretary for action and advocacy for justice and peace for the National Council of Churches.
Bread for the Word believes ongoing prayer is essential for creating and sustaining the political will needed to achieve the end of hunger by 2030.
To encourage this outpouring of prayers, Lenten Prayers for Hungry People was mailed to all Bread for the World members in early January. This six-panel table tent includes the Scripture lessons appointed for the five Sundays in Lent as well as the Sunday of the Passion.
Ash Wednesday is especially early this year: Feb. 10. You are welcome to order additional copies of Lenten Prayers to share with family, friends, and members of your parish. To view the prayers and order free copies, visit www.bread.org/lent or call 800/822-7323, ext. 1072.
Still working on your new year's resolutions? February is still close enough to the beginning of the year that you can add one: Taking a small step that will add up to a big difference throughout the year.

Bread will hold its annual Lobby Day on Tuesday, June 7, 2016. Mark your calendar now and save the date. The location, as always, is Washington, D.C. Some details have not been determined yet but will be shared in this newsletter as the date gets closer. The morning gathering and orientation will happen, as usual, at a church on Capitol Hill, and the day will end with a reception, worship, participants sharing about the day, and awards given to legislators.
Bread will not be holding a national gathering this year, but Lobby Day will happen as it does every year.
Lobby Day is a chance for Bread members and activists to come together and visit Capitol Hill en masse. It's a favorite annual event for veteran activists who like to maintain their relationships with their representatives and their staffs in Washington. It's also a good event for people new to hunger-related lobbying because it provides exposure to the halls of power in D.C. often in the comfort of a group. Bread staff assist Lobby Day participants in setting up meetings with the offices of members of Congress, and newbies or people who come to D.C. alone can often visit offices with other people from their state.
Participants are required to pay for their own travel to and from Washington, D.C., as well as for accommodation, meals, local transportation, and other expenses. But Bread will provide orientation to lobbying and background on the day's issues as well as access and scheduling to congressional offices.

Following the global climate change agreement forged late last year, Bread is urging the U.S. government to take action on climate change as a hunger issue. Nearly 200 countries agreed to collectively lower greenhouse emissions at the United Nations Framework Convention for Climate Change in Paris in December.
"This historic agreement will put us on a path to reducing greenhouse emissions and helping the most vulnerable communities adapt to the effects of climate change," said Asma Lateef, director of Bread for the World Institute.
This treaty marked a milestone in the battle against climate change. The countries acknowledged the present threats of climate change and set a goal to keep the global temperature average from increasing 2 degrees Celsius, preferably 1.5 degrees.
Bread for the World Institute's background paper, "Hunger and Climate Change: What's the Connection?" explains some of the effects on the United States: increased hurricanes, flooding, and droughts.
For food producers in developing countries, namely smallholder farmers, the effects of climate change are arguably more severe. These extreme weather events decrease crop production and food supplies, contributing to hunger and poverty. Bread for the World is wanting to help end world hunger and extreme poverty by 2030, but to do so, the world must first confront climate change.
In implementing the agreement, our federal government needs to deliver transparency and accountability and target the populations most vulnerable to poverty and hunger.
"We also need reporting on the progress of countries and how that is addressing the needs of hungry and poor people," said Faustine Wabwire, senior foreign assistance policy analyst at Bread for the World Institute. In addition, she suggests a focus on data so that government and committees can create early warning systems.
"We appreciate the leadership the United States, and President Obama in particular, have shown in making this agreement a reality," said Lateef. "It has taken a lot to get to this point, but now that we are here, it is time to move forward and deal with this urgent problem."

Better nutrition is a necessary component of a country's capacity to achieve development goals such as economic growth and improved public health.
Worldwide, maternal and child malnutrition causes millions of deaths each year. In some countries, it holds entire generations back from reaching their economic potential.

Hotel Calle Mayor
, Avda San Nicolas 71, Logrono.
Hotel Calle Mayor is an architectural masterstroke that brings together the past and the present in beautiful harmony. This small urban hotel occupies a former 16th century palace in the centre of Logroño, the capital of the La Rioja region.
The Past is represented by the Roman arch that serves as the main doorway, the 16th century stone facade and a plethora of stone, wood and iron including a glorious old staircase supported by a stone pillar of unfathomable antiquity. All this contrasts and coordinates with the Present, in the form of a minimalist interior of top quality materials and soft, muted colours creating a warm and tranquil atmosphere.
There is a lounge and reading area, as well as a corner for internet use.
All the guest rooms continue the theme of elegant tranquillity and comfort with fully coordinated furnishings. Each room has wi-fi internet, an interactive flat-screen television, minibar, air-conditioning and a stylish bathroom decorated with Murano glass mosaic tiles. For extra space, choose the the Mayor Special, or for even more space and luxury including your own pillow menu, opt for the Mayor Deluxe.
Logroño is a fine centre for exploring La Rioja. Not just for the vineyards and bodegas (though I would never wish to downplay the pleasure to be found in a glass of Rioja) but also for the museums, the culture and the luscious countryside that abounds all around the town.
A breakfast buffet is included in the room rates. No other meals are available in the hotel but of course there are many restaurants in Logroño and the surrounding area.

GURU DUTT On 10 October, 1964, Guru Dutt succeeded with his third suicide attempt. When found dead in his rented flat at Peddar Road, the actor-director of some of the most acclaimed movies from the Hindi film industry ('Kaagaz ke Phool' and 'Pyaasa' being his two most cherished creations), was suspected of an overdose of sleeping pills mixed with alcohol.
DIVYA BHARATI Midnight, 5 April 1993. The budding actress who was recently married to producer Sajid Nadiadwala fell to her death from her five-storey apartment in Versova. Despite much speculation – was it suicide? was it murder? – the investigation reached a dead end and the case was closed in 1998. Designer Neeta Lulla, famous for draping Ash, was present at Divya's apartment a few minutes before she plummeted to her death
SILK SMITHA India's first bonafide porn star Silk Smitha became a household name for her role in Malayalam skin-flick 'Layanam' (1989). She was also found dead in her Chennai apartment on September 23, 1996. A botched attempt at becoming a producer merged with her alcoholism had created a lethal cocktail of acute depression. The first reports that emerged suggested suicide
PARVEEN BABI In November 1989, the '70s sex siren returned to Bombay after an almost decade-long hiatus. A front page photograph shot at Sahar airport revealed Babi with a chubby face and twice her size. Later, at a press conference, in her bloated hand she held a manuscript of her 'experiences'. These included having been the victim of an assassination plot in which Amitabh Bachchan
NAFISA JOSEPH The MTV VJ hanged herself in her Versova pad on July 29, 2004. A botched love affair was said to be the reason for her depression, even though her fiancé-to-be made it quite clear that Nafisa had a string of failed relationships behind her even before she was with him. Her career was a flash in the pan, with a Miss India Universe pageant to her name in 1997 and an Indian version of Charlie's Angels being the two highlights
VIVEKA BABAJEE The Mauritius-born model became a household name in the 1990s thanks to the Kama Sutra campaign. As her modeling career began to fade, she attempted to start fresh in Bombay with an innings in event management. On June 25, 2010, she was found hanging from a ceiling fan. A notebook in her room had a page that read, "You Killed Me, Gautam Vohra.
RIYA RAJVANSH The actress of '70s hits such as 'Heer Ranjha' and 'Haste Zakhm' was found murdered in Chetan Anand's bungalow on March 27, 2000. Rajvansh had been Chetan Anand's live-in companion for many years. After Anand's death, she inherited some property along with Chetan Anand's sons Ketan Anand and Vivek Anand. Rajvansh's handwritten letters nailed veteran actor Dev Anand's nephews who
SMITA PATIL The beacon of parallel cinema in the 1980s and someone who even surpassed Shabana Azmi for her thespian prowess died when giving birth to her son, Prateik. The nation mourned her loss and her husband and son have moved on – Babbar has a thriving career in politics and Prateik is making his mark in Bollywood. Yet, a spark that was extinguished this early in her prime remains one of Bollywood's
NAZIA HASSAN The stereo-silk voice that brought to us some of the best foot-stomping delights from the early 1980s succumbed to a long battle with cancer. Her debut album, 'Disco Deewane', went on to sell 60 million albums worldwide. Her 'Aap Jaisa Koi' from 'Qurbani' made her the youngest recipient of the Filmfare award for Best Female Playback Singer. She was 15 then; it is a record she still holds posthumously. This trailblazing wonder
MEENA KUMARI At 40, the arc of Meena Kumari's life came full circle. She died in pretty much the same impoverished circumstances she was born in, a victim of liver cirrhosis due to alcohol abuse. It was an addiction that has cost her her looks and her magnum opus, 'Pakeezah', took as much as 14 years to complete. Towards the end of her tether she was reduced to character artiste roles. Her lover

The old barn around the back has loads of old fruit boxes (what you see is about a third) and it suddenly dawned on me to use them as raised beds. Very similar to Pallet wood. I've been using them for kindling mostly except a gate I built last year.
It took a sledgehammer, crowbar, and dicey moments clambering to find the good ones, but I got one out and even used the same nails !
So, here is my Carrot Raised bed !
I did a google and similar height / width would be around the £45 mark. It took me less than an hour to build.
Bad news is....why didn't I do this before, they've been there since I moved here 13 years ago.
I shall do some more soon.

Articles - What Interests Us Online
The internet has grown hugely since the e-eeasy.com website was started. Over that time there have been numerous subjects that have grabbed our attention. Sometimes it's just a case of writing an article about a solution to a problem that we've found online and thought other people may find useful as well. Other times it may be writing an article about some of our software and how to make best use of it.
Perhaps of most interest are the general articles about online technology and how it has advanced. Watching television online has become very popular, a trend that spawned from the technology developed to allow people to watch live sports, like football, online. Not many people knew this but right back at the beginning we were writing about this technology and encouraging people to give it a go. We don't get it right every time but if you're interested in what's really hot online, or going to be hot then there are worse places to look than the e-eeasy.com article directory

From Maker's Tool Works:
The latest printer from Maker's Tool Works refines our hugely successful MendelMax series of printers. Compared to our MendelMax 3, the MTW Create™ is much easier to assemble, and much more reliable out of the box. We have eliminated as much as possible of the variability, so you should get great prints out
of the box, with almost no calibration. Other improvements include recirculating ball linear rails on all axes and built in WiFi and a 5″ Color Touchscreen.

Join our experts for a discussion of best practices and tools to collaborate effectively within creative teams, with related professionals and with clients.
This edition of Future by Design features international panelists streamed virtually, as well as interaction with audiences from coast to coast.

Vanessa will share examples from her experience with collaboration that questions both the medium and the preconceptions that exist in the world.

Bob Hambly RGD, Creative Director at Hambly & Woolley Inc.

In 2013 H&W created a publication entitled BEES for Flash Reproduction's Wayward Arts series on "Community". An editor, four writers, five photographers, two illustrators and three artists all contributed their efforts to this project. And they all did it pro bono.
Bob discusses how this collaboration came about and how H&W approached, excited, art directed and acknowledged this pool of very creative individuals.

Jake Lefebure, CEO & Co-Founder, Design Army

Design Army works on many projects that require a small team of designers, writers, printers, and sometimes multiple clients. Jake will share his experience working on projects that involve creative input from multiple sources.

Emily Oberman, Partner at Pentagram

In close collaboration with SNL producers and photographers, Emily has been designing the opening titles for Saturday Night Live since 1994.

"For us this job never gets old. It's an exciting challenge to take the same basic elements year after year and reinvent them in a way that keeps the brand feeling new and vibrant."

This webcast panel discussion explores the relationship between information and design.
May 28th, 2013
6:30pm - 8:30pm
(Doors open at 6:00pm)

Sault College
443 Northern Avenue, Sault Ste. Marie, ON
Room M1030

RGD, in collaboration with the Gladstone Hotel and Resolve Collaboration presents Information and Design a panel discussion on the ways design is both enabled by and shapes information.

We are living in a world where information is increasingly modular, consumable, connectable, and mixable. Amidst all of this dynamic communication, too often what we call 'information' is actually just noise. How then can design help transform noise, data and other information into a form where it better informs?

Join our expert panel as they discuss the ways in which information and design are increasingly integrated and explore the exciting possibilities for information design in the future. In addition to the discussion, each panelist presents a brief case study with visuals that highlights this relationship and demonstrates how designers are responding.

Information & Design is the sixth in RGD's ongoing Future by Design series of panel discussions. These panels are broadcast live via webcast to reach across all parts of the country. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com to find out how to participate.

RGD Webcast: Future By Design: The Evolving Visual Landscape
January 29, 2013
6:30 - 8:30 PM
Sault College, Room M1030
Sault Ste. Marie, ON

RGD Ontario, in collaboration with the Gladstone Hotel, presents The Evolving Visual Landscape a panel discussion on the changing effect of visual communications to our public spaces.

From google glasses to programmable t-shirts to the ubiquity of street art, what we see around us is becoming ever more commercial and customizable. But what do we see, in a world where we are bombarded by "outdoor advertising" and yet rarely look up from our smartphones to see it? This panel explores the changing nature of communication and advertising in our public spaces. Join us as we discuss what's on the cutting edge of our new visual landscape and how design is changing not just what's on paper or on the web, but how we interact with the world itself.

In addition to the discussion, each panelist presents a brief case study with visuals that highlights these changes and demonstrates how designers are responding to them.

Join us for a special screening of this discussion as it is broadcast LIVE.

Panelists Include:

Andrew McCartney, SVP Integration | Managing Director, Tribal DDB Canada

Wayne McCutcheon R.G.D., Partner at Entro Communications

Phillipe Meunier, Co-Founder and Creative Director, Sid Lee

James Wilson R.G.D., Principal at Overdrive (Design Limited)

We enjoyed hosting Abckathy and their family. They were so quiet we didn't notice they were there. The family kept us informed of their arrival date and their plans. We would welcome them again on their travels!
Unfortunately, I didn't get to meet these travelers because they were at another location awhile longer than originally planned. Their communication and follow-through was good. They seemed very nice in their texts. I was away when they did arrive and they were asleep when I finally got home. I never even heard them. Their RV was shorter than most, so they may fit in spots others of their length may not.
Very nice family and and excellent musicians, they were very quite and the kids well mannered. I would host them again anytime

Padres' Daal, free agent Fleece suspended
San Diego catcher banned 50 games on second drug of abuse test
By Danny Wild / MiLB.com | May 12, 2014 8:12 PM
Padres catcher Rodney Daal and former Reds right-hander Nick Fleece both were suspended for 50 games Monday after testing positive for drugs of abuse.
The Office of the Commissioner of Baseball said Daal and Fleece both received 50-game suspensions without pay following their second violations for a drug of abuse. Daal's ban is effective immediately, while Fleece will begin serving his upon signing with a Major League organization.
Signed by San Diego in 2010 out of Helen Parkhurst College in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, Daal has appeared in 162 games over three seasons in the Minors. The 20-year-old, who has not played this season, hit .271 with eight homers, 39 RBIs and a .317 on-base percentage in 79 games last year with Class A Fort Wayne.
Fleece, 24, was drafted by Cincinnati in the 13th round of the 2011 Draft out of Texas A&M and has pitched in 23 games, mostly with Rookie-level Billings. The right-hander missed all of 2012 and then made his Class A debut last summer with Dayton, finishing up at 0-2 with a 3.05 ERA and 21 strikeouts in 20 2/3 innings over 20 games between Billings and Dayton.
Players are typically issued a warning following a first positive test for a drug of abuse and a suspension for a second offense. Substances considered "drugs of abuse" by Major League Baseball include cocaine, marijuana, heroin, LSD, ecstasy and other opiates. Minor Leaguers who test positive for a performance-enhancing substance are subjected to an immediate 50-game suspension.
Daal and Fleece are the 24th and 25th players to be suspended for violating the Minor League drug program in 2014.

Wedding is an occasion where two people get united. It is a ceremony between, different customs, religion, tradition, social classes. It is an exchange of two different wedding vows and presentation of gifts. Wedding gifts are the only way to convey your love and affection for the couples. Your gift will remain to the couple as a token of your love for them. An occasion is incomplete without good and significant gifts. The gift that you choose for them will make you different from the rest. Therefore, make some unique idea before you buy for the wedding couple.
It is important to consider certain points while making your choice. Sending a wedding gift is not just sending something material to the couple. Your ของชำร่วย will become a medium to convey your love and to congratulate them as it is a new beginning of their life. You should consider your relation with the couples- it may be very formal or casual. If it is formal then, you can choose-
- Wooden or personalized photo frames
- Couple watches
- Flowers and chocolates can be taken along with any gift you choose for the couple.
If it is your friend's wedding or someone very close to you then you have numerous options to choose. You can go to the nearest mall and get wedding gifts for them or you can search in internet to get good and unique ideas. If they are very close to you then you may know their choice and likings. Wedding is a ceremony of two people, therefore, makes such choices that both of them can feel your love for them. You can choose-
Unity candle with your message for them. You can personalize with their first names and the wedding date, it to make it a unique wedding gift.
- Cushions bearing their names.
- Personalized luxury champagnes.
- Beauty kit.
- Cutlery set.
- Personalized photo frames.
Along with these items you can gift bouquet of flowers, chocolates and cards for the bride and the bridegroom. It is not important to choose an extraordinary expensive wedding gifts that is out of your budget. You can show your love and best wishes for them with the gift that suits your pocket. Wedding basket with numerous wedding items will also be a good one to gift. You can take ideas even from different online stores. Also imagine how much your gift will surprise the couple before you make any choice.

Audio recordings from the August 1st Zoning Board of Appeals public hearing regarding a proposed text amendment to commercial horse boarding codes have been posted to the Village website. To access the menu of edited recordings by agenda item, click here.
The hearing lasted just over two hours and fifteen minutes. It would likely have lasted much longer, but the multipurpose room at Countryside Elementary School was only available until 10:00 PM.
We've reviewed the recordings entirely, and after a certain point, it became readily apparent that accurately summarizing what transpired during the entire meeting would be too long for readers to endure. Indeed, after an hour and a half we felt like the crew assigned to clean up after horses in a holiday parade of equal duration – overloaded with muck, good for nothing except composting.
Two residents made public comments prior to the hearing. The first to speak was a sitting trustee on our Village Board, and his remarks can be heard by clicking here.
The second person to speak was a resident who took exception to comments made at a prior Board of Trustees meeting regarding groundwater pollutants from equestrian facilities, and also volunteered to provide the Zoning Board with documentation in her possession of groundwater contamination. Her comments can be heard here.
When the public hearing was convened, the Zoning Board chair read a statement from the Village regarding the petition before the board and the Village's position as it relates to ongoing litigation between neighbors. Click here to review this recording.
The attorney representing the petition applicant was then invited to present their proposed text amendment, which took about forty-five minutes, including questions from the board. This recording can be heard here.
Attendees were then invited to ask questions or provide facts for the board to consider in their deliberations. Unfortunately, the hour that ensued was spent on matters from the past on horse boarding issues, some personal assaults and little, if anything, productive for the board to consider.
In our opinion, the chair and counsel allowed too much latitude for attendees to pursue personal agendas instead of presenting facts at this meeting. But then again, they are not veterans of these contentious testimony rodeos. Perhaps with the first hearing under their belts, tonight's continuation will include more relevant testimony for the Zoning Board to consider and less infighting that serves no useful purpose.

This Beautiful Mess/
A year ago during this time last year was probably one of the most stressful weeks I ever had in my life. Here's a timeline of both a series of fortunate and unfortunate events :
- January 28th : I get a call from my sister informing me that my brother was airlifted to Jackson Memorial for having a seizure and was non responsive due to cranial bleeding from hitting the floor so hard. I spent a good while in the emergency that night and went home distressed as he wound up waking up three days later.
- January 29th : I had a church wide picnic that was scheduled months prior and I ended up grilling the whole entire day. It was the first time I've ever grilled in my life. Nevertheless, I didn't receive any complaints and no one got diarrhea.
- January 30th : With three church services to work and attend I end up getting home late from a very exhausting weekend only to have Tiffany's water break. Now even though I already had two kids, they were both induced labors so it was the first time I ever had the "Okay!! I'll get the bags" experience.
- January 31st : Jordan is born....later that morning I take the older siblings out of school early to visit their sister. As soon as I arrive with them I get a call from my "Abuela" that my sister was brought into the emergency room from panic attacks in the same hospital. I spent the day back and forth from the birthing ward to the emergency room area.... I still haven't held Jordan.
- February 1st : My body's feeling the stress but my mind is racing a million miles a minute. Tiff and I agree that I would take the kids home that night, I would drop them off at school in the morning and I would then return to the hospital. While getting ready to go to bed at about midnight, I get a call from my mother-in-law that she needed a ride from the airport because she came in early from her trip to Mexico. It was Ft. Lauderdale airport......I live in West Kendall.
- February 3rd : After finally getting through three days of no sleep we finally get home and I finally get to hold my new born daughter for the first time. Meanwhile my little brother wakes up from being comatose with a mild form of amnesia.
- February 6th : Super Bowl Sunday, (Steelers vs. Packers) my son Austin come running upstairs minutes before kick-off screaming, "Dad I broke my wrist, I broke my wrist". Guess where I find myself again...the emergency room.
At this point I'm thinking, "maybe I should just own a hospital". I literally felt like Steve Martin in the scene from that early 90's flick "Parent Hood" where he's desperately trying to manage the mess of family stress as the room begins to spin. Looking back I notice that when you're in the mess of things the important details of the journey go unnoticed as everything seems to blend together in one big blur. Things like reflecting the creative capacity of our Maker through procreation, recognizing how magnificent and nice sleep is, having the opportunity to show my son a fathers love and compassion through crisis, etc... I'm glad a year later I can wake up singing "Happy Birthday" to Jordan and I know I didn't give birth to her, but I literally almost had a stroke the week she was born.

Project whent from using as many connections i chose to to only 4
- User Forums
- Offline Explorer Pro
- Project whent from using as many connections i chose to to only 4
|03/06/2010 01:41 pm
|*I am not able to increase how many connections are downloading. After i resumed from a file of about 2 million files in queue, it was doing fine for about an hour or so, then it dropped to only 4 active connections as if it was being throttled. Should i start the download over, or should i try to resolve this issue, as i have already about 4-7 million in queue, but it is only downloading at 4 connections with 1 download every 20 seconds. I think it might be the proxys that ive set up, because i couldnt get find a proxy that would work in both Internet Explorer and then also in Offline Explorers browser. This was related to my previous post.
My solution was to just add a whole list of proxy's to metaproducts through the
Proxy={:file=C:\Users\STAR NEO ReBoRN\Desktop\proxies ELITE # 14.txt}
command in project properties. I am wondering how the rotation works too, in hopes that is realizing which ones dont work and keeps them on the bottom of the list. I notice that when i first started to "suspend to file" and then "resume from file" the process only took like 20 minutes to half an hour, but now it takes about 1 hour or 1 & a half hours to restore.
Do i have to suspend to the same file every time i want to shutdown the program, or does Offline Explorer do that automatically. I have done that already 2 times and it seems that the second time might have messed things up by overwriting the file and creating a new one? I know there is a parameter from the command menu options in url properties
but it was only after i had overwritten the file with the bigger queue that i tried using this.
My Connections are as follows:
channel status
http0: working randomly
http1: working randomly
http2: working randomly
http3: working randomly
http4: Download Complete. Status: 200 OK.
http5: EMPTY
http6: EMPTY
http7: EMPTY
http8: EMPTY
http9: EMPTY
No matter what i try it wont go more than 4 channels downloading
I have got it working when its done this on a small download and in the begginning of this large project by selecting one channel and then when it goes to 1, i would bring it back up to 5 or 8, but it wont work for me anymore.
I Had played with the channels and channelsperserver options in the url properties, and it seems to be right around the time that it has been downloading only 4 channels
Is there a way to set it back to default, or create a new project wizard and direct it to the files of the project that hasnt been working?
Also, it seems to be a global setting that is messed up because its happening to all the projects now, not just the one!
I erased the channels and channelperserver lines, but it seems to now be broken...i dont know what to make of it.

I Have used the *.torrent Filename filter but most of the time it doesnt download the complete list of torrents. I noticed it does matter what link you select as the starting page, but every site is different. I know a lot of us would be interested in how you would implement this feature into your program, and i know it has been requested in a previous post. If you could help me out as to which buttons on a torrent web page that i should start with, whether it should be the page number link, or just a plain search term link, that would help me out alot.

|It is better to suspend to file manually every time you want to stop the download. It doesn't do this automatically. It is strange about 4 connections. Can you try to open the .wdq file in Notepad and see if it contains a line:
in the file beginning?

|ok im going to try the .wsq file. I gave it a break, because it slowed right down on me. Ive been busy negotiating to buy a new computer from my neighbor, thats only 3-4 years old, and now i have a slimline (Micro ATX formfactor) amd 64 Athlon X2 4400 2.3 GHz, that is capable of multiprocessing, so ill be sure to let you know how your multithreading feature is working. Im just wondering if i have to run win 64 bit version? or if this feature is not dual core independent
Anyway i gotta get back to the wsq file and see what that says for connections... I will respond ASAP

For every website out there it is important to know how it is performing in terms of traffic, conversion, CTR, etc. You can compare the figures you get from your own website to those of similar websites, and based on that comparison decide on how well your website is performing. But how do you know if it's the best it can, even if your figures look good?
This is where an A/B test, or 'multivariate test' can come in handy. It requires testing periods for two different forms of a specific segment of your website, for instance the colour/size/typography of your 'REGISTER HERE' button.
A/B testing is immensely important in optimizing your website. There are countless case studies in which testing of two slightly different images on the for instance a product page could lead to massive differences in conversion. In this post I will summarize some of those cases.
Case 1: "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays"?
A large retailer sent out an email to its list in the period before Christmas time in order to drive more traffic to their website. Their hypotheses was that they wanted to see which subject line would receive the highest CTR. The test was between "Merry Christmas", "Happy Holidays" and a combination of the two in the subject line.
The results were remarkable, in a random selection of 100.000 customers for this retailer the following results were found:
These results show that a slight change in the subject line of an email can have huge concequences in terms of open/click through rate.
Case 2: Replacing an image with a video
replaced the photo with a picture that sales would increase.
Result: The video helped increase conversions by 12,62%. This tells us that a video on a sales landing page instead of a photo can drastically improve conversions.
Case 3: Showing an image with a desired outcome instead of a friendly image
Dutch prospective home sellers can register to post their home listings with Makelaarsland. This is a three step process and there is a 'help' option to the right of the form if you need it. Makelaarsland wanted to see if there wo
uld be a difference in signups if a different image was used in on the right side in the 'help' section.
Result: The new image on the bottom, with the man holding a 'Sold' sign increased signups by 89%! This picture worked better because it
showed prospective clients the desired outcome.
Start A/B testing today!
I think these cases make it pretty clear that A/B testing is something you should really want to do as a website owner. It takes some time, but in the long run this will definitely help you develop your online presence, and also help you boost conversion!

In Hong Kong due to the high rental price, a small house costs about € 1800 per month, they are already starting to look for innovative solutions. Architecture firm James Law has begun experimenting with homes in prefabricated concrete tubes about 2.5 m in diameter.
Difficult to isolate this is not a problem in Hong Kong where the climate is tropical. Despite all the inconveniences of living in a tube, the rent of one of these pieces could go down to only € 300 per month.
