"I ordered the Banish Starter Kit 3 weeks ago and I'm amazed by the results I've received. left hand side was taken before starting banish and the right hand side was taken this morning 3 weeks into using Banish. I use the charcoal mask once a week, Pumpkin Mask 3 times a week, Banish oil before I go to sleep and the vitamin c creme and elixir spray in the morning. Banish has changed my life, I even get compliments about my skin which I could've never imagined happening."
My last breakout started around August last year. I started seeing a doctor late October last year and started my medication. They cleared up my cystic acne but it doesn't end with clearing up the acne because there's a longer "battle" than that which is clearing up the acne scars.
Thanks to the Banish Starter Kit for taking care of the aftermath. The right part pictures are my results of using their skin care products and 5 sessions of their Banisher Microneedler (it's not for active pimples, it's for the scars). I had my first Banisher session December 15, 2018. And I'm looking forward to completely fading my acne scars. It will still take more time but I'm positive. 🤞The left side pictures were taken last October 24, 2018 and the right side were on February 8, 2019."

A few weeks ago I had the absolute pleasure of attending a Farmstrong Healthy Thinking workshop. Sponsored by FMG and the Mental Health Foundation, Farmstrong are running workshops throughout New Zealand to encourage healthy thinking in our rural communities.
This was an excellent programme facilitated by Dr. Tom Mulholland (find out more about him at www.drtomonamission.com) where the focus was on how we can manage our thinking to get great results for ourselves and the people around us. Based on the concept that thoughts are upstream of emotions, healthy thinking is about managing your thoughts so that you can make positive choices around your behaviours. Powerful stuff...
And as we approach the festive season it is important to remember to be happy and according to CBT therapist Christine Wilding you can, with practice, change negative thinking habits quite easily.
So as we enter this period of the year where we think of others, hold our families close (either physically or from afar), and get our minds set for a new year; think about what's going to really make you happy, what you can control (and what you can't) and take the time to reflect on the positive things in your world...
Don't forget to check out our website for new opportunities…the new year could be the right time for your new career!
Our office will be closed from 18 December 2015 and will reopen on Monday 11 January 2016. If you have urgent enquiries between those dates please contact Lee Astridge on 021 544 020.
Have a good one everybody!!

Presidential hopeful Ted Cruz said he stood with Donald Trump on immigration, telling Fox Business News that many of his fellow Republicans who criticized the real estate mogul's remarks on the topic were "vocal advocates of amnesty."
"I am proud to stand with Donald Trump," said Cruz, a U.S. senator from Texas. Trump, who is also running for president as a Republican, has been criticized for saying that many illegal immigrants to the United States are criminals. Other Republicans have called the comments "offensive."

According to Page Six Magazine, Whitney Port is the new Carrie Bradshaw…
I'll be the first to admit that if all I got for Christmas was a bootleg copy of the The City's first season on DVD, I'd be a happy girl…but as much as I love me some Whitney, I can't quite proclaim her as Carrie 2.0!! They may both wear covetable fashions, have gorgeous blonde locks and walk the streets of Manhattan like it's a runway, but their similarities stop there.
Ms. Bradshaw played a character on a TV show, and although she took us on an amazing journey through Manhattan, we always knew this life of hers was pure fiction. Producers from The City are hoping (and banking on the fact) that viewers will believe Whitney's life could be anyone's…including yours. But as a former 6 year veteran of that City, I know how unlikely her life is.
The real truth about New York, is that it's one of the most challenging, yet utterly rewarding places to spend your early 20's. And while I had the best time of my life and always felt so lucky to have this incredible life experience, I also remember my $27K a year "salary", eating Ramen for a week (because I blew my paycheck on a Gucci clutch), and feeling awful when I had to ask my parents for help with the rent…again.
The girls from The Hills, and now The City, have no freaking idea how good they have it…nor do the understand the concept of struggle that comes with living in cities like LA and New York. And while Whitney and her crew will surely provide the ultimate fantasy for many girls across the US, let's just remember that their "reality" is far from real.

Efficiency of wear and decalcification technique for estimating the age of estuarine dolphin Sotalia guianensis

Most techniques used for estimating the age of Sotalia guianensis (van Bénéden, 1864) (Cetacea; Delphinidae) are very expensive, and require sophisticated equipment for preparing histological sections of teeth. The objective of this study was to test a more affordable and much simpler method, involving of the manual wear of teeth followed by decalcification and observation under a stereomicroscope. This technique has been employed successfully with larger species of Odontoceti. Twenty-six specimens were selected, and one tooth of each specimen was worn and demineralized for growth layers reading. Growth layers were evidenced in all specimens; however, in 4 of the 26 teeth, not all the layers could be clearly observed. In these teeth, there was a significant decrease of growth layer group thickness, thus hindering the layers count. The juxtaposition of layers hindered the reading of larger numbers of layers by the wear and decalcification technique. Analysis of more than 17 layers in a single tooth proved inconclusive. The method applied here proved to be efficient in estimating the age of Sotalia guianensis individuals younger than 18 years. This method could simplify the study of the age structure of the overall population, and allows the use of the more expensive methodologies to be confined to more specific studies of older specimens. It also enables the classification of the calf, young and adult classes, which is important for general population studies.

Maina derailed when he saw big money – Retirees (1)
Pathetic aptly describes the situation of pensioners across the country who have been left destitute following their meagre monthly pension which does not even come as and when due. It is like they have been left to die miserably by those who should care. Worst hit are pensioners who left the service of state governments. While many of the state governments have been making efforts to pay the accumulated pension benefits, some are busy blaming their inability to pay on the poor economic situation of the country. The situation of the pensioners is made sadder by the stories making the rounds that the money that should have been used to pay their entitlements, in billions, was being misappropriated. The most recent of the stories of alleged misappropriation is the over N2billion pension money said to have been misappropriated by the former Chairman of the Presidential Pension Reform Task Team (PRTT), Mr Abdulrasheed Maina. Maina Maina has been declared wanted by the authorities and is currently on the run. But before he vanished into thin air, his case had generated controversy across the land after he was suspended following the alleged misappropriation of the huge pension money, recalled and, in fact, promoted from Deputy Director in the Federal Civil Service to Director. The House of Representatives is currently investigating the reinstatement. Giving a historical perspective on pension and the problem of payment in Nigeria, Executive Director, Centre For Pension Rights Advocacy, Ivor Takor, noted that the plight of pensioners, especially in some states, goes beyond adverse economic situation. Takor, who is also a former Board member of the National Pension Commission, PenCom, a former President of the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions, NASU, and ex-Treasurer of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, in a position paper obtained exclusively by Sunday Vanguard and titled, 'The plight of Nigeria Pensioners: A Legal and Moral Burden on Federal and State Governments', said: "In times past, Nigerians were protected from destitution and poverty, through traditional social security system, which was based on the concept of 'our brothers' keepers' and was influenced by and derived from both culture and religious characteristics of society. It was largely kinship base. Unfortunately, the traditional system of social security, where kinsmen built houses and farmed for each other and also provided for the upkeep of the elderly among them, has broken down. Urbanisation and industrial culture are contributing factors to the breakdown of the traditional social security system. "The advent of paid employment introduced planning against old age destitution and poverty through pension schemes. "Pension is the most visible programme of any social security scheme. It is meant to provide protection for citizens from old age poverty". According to him, the first public sector pension scheme in Nigeria was the Pension Ordinance of 1951, with retroactive effect from January 1, 1946. "The law provided public servants with both pension and gratuity. Pensions Decrees 102 and 103 of 1979 were enacted for civil servants and the military respectively, with retroactive effect from April 1974. These decrees, which were later referred to as the Pension Act 1990 and the Armed Forces Pension Act, 1990 respectively, remained the operative laws on public service (federal, states and local governments) and military pension in Nigeria until they were repealed by the Pension Reform Act 2004, which was later replaced by the Pension Reform Act 2014", he said. "The National Provident Fund (NPF), which was established in 1961, was the first formal pension scheme in the private sector. It was largely a saving scheme providing a one-off lump sum benefits. The Nigerian Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF), established in 1993, took over from NPF and commenced business in July 1994. Nigerian pensioners have had a raw deal and continue to suffer in the hands of employers, who are expected to protect them against old age poverty and destitution. Employers, in the first place, based on contractual agreements, have a legal and moral obligation to protect workers against old age destitution and poverty. Unfortunately, it is these same employers who have opened them up against old age destitution and poverty especially in the public service." Takor noted that the plight of Nigerian pensioners could be viewed from two eras: Pre-pension reform and post- pension reform eras. He said: "In the pre-pension reform era, public service pensioners, including military pensioners, passed through very tough times. The pension scheme operational then was the Defined Benefit Scheme (Pay As You Go).Public service pension was unfunded, relying on annual budgetary allocation and thereby having outstanding liabilities, with workers who retired not knowing when their benefits will be paid thereby leaving then in the streets destitute, begging. It was common sight around Agura Hotel in Abuja to see military pensioners, who came from their homes or who were unable to return to their home states, waiting indefinitely for the day their retirement benefits will be paid. It was a disgraceful and pitiable sight to behold senior citizens of this country, who had given their whole active life for the development of the nation and therefore no longer able to actively support themselves and families, sleeping in the open under sun and rain. "Civilian public service pensioners were not better off. They also became destitute, dying in droves as a result of hunger and lack of health care. The real shame for the nation was during the annual dehumanizing ritual called pensioners verification exercise. This was the time when these senior citizens were made to line up, supported by their children or relations, to be counted among the living. It was meant to be a punishment for those of them who were still alive, for having not died like their colleagues who had died without tasting the fruits of their labour (gratuity and pension)". The activist stated that the administration of public service pension during this era was weak, lacking supervision and regulatory control. His words: "It was during this period that Nigeria found itself among the league of nations that are classified as 'blood money nations'. While others got there as a result of dealing in illicit drugs or criminal activities, Nigeria was elevated to that status as a result of illegal dealings with pension money: People's sweat, blood and lives. It was the era when top civil servants, with seared conscience, were put in charge of pension administration in the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Police, Customs, Immigration, Prisons and other Pension Departments in the Federal Public Service. Their counterparts were found in States and Local Governments Pension Boards. These public officials derived pleasure in not paying or under paying pensioners and bringing them annually to die on verification lines, with the sole aim of attracting public attention to the plight of these senior citizens. "What was their interest in these verification exercises? Their interest lay in the fact that they succeeded in blackmailing government to release huge sums of money for conducting pensioners' verifications and payment of pensioners without accounting for the money released, to stave off public outcry as a result of the suffering of these senior citizens. Lack of effective supervision, regulatory control and accountability opened the door for these public officials to corruptly enrich themselves, building castles and business empires for themselves, children and grandchildren yet unborn. It was an era of criminal and primitive acquisition of blood wealth. A cross section of pensioners "The whole talk on pension corruption got to a crescendo in 2012, leading to the then Federal Government setting up a Pension Task Team headed by a Deputy Director in the Federal Public Service, Abdulrasheed Maina, to reorganize the Federal Public Service Pension Departments earlier mentioned. Monumental fraudulent activities were uncovered by Maina's team in these departments, especially the Police Pension Department. "In the course of the work of the Task Team, a pandora box on pension embezzlement was opened as the Task Team, the expected hunter of pension criminals, became the hunted, as it was alleged that the Team members were swimming in the ocean of embezzlement of pension fund themselves. The Senate therefore set up a committee to investigate the Abdulrasheed Maina's Task Team. According to the report of the Senate Committee, Maina, his colleagues in the Team and their accomplices were actually drowning in the ocean of pension embezzlement and, therefore, recommended to the government that they should be rescued through the EFCC with a view to being taken to protective custody in either Kuje, Kirikiri or Gasua prisons, from the reach of the sharks in the pension corruption ocean. This has given birth to what is now referred to as Mainagate". According to him, anti-corruption agencies have prosecuted some of those involved in the scandal, including seizing of some properties acquired by them. The former Board member of PENCOM said the prosecution and seizing of properties notwithstanding, there has been no visible change in the living conditions of pensioners. "Federal pensioners under the old Defined Benefits Scheme are still being owed arrears of token percentage increases granted them in line with Section 173(3) of the Constitution. Military pensioners may not be better off", he said. "States and local governments' pensioners are worse off. With the exception of Lagos State, the shining mirror of pension administration in Nigeria and some others, such as Kaduna and Jigawa, most states' retirees are not sure they will ever collect their gratuities and pensions before they die. "The plight of pensioners, especially in some of the states, goes beyond the (adverse) economic situation of these states. It is in the public domain that even when the Federal Government gave bailout funds to state governments to pay arrears of salaries and pensions, most of the states' diverted the funds and did not pay pensioners. Nigeria, in 2004, carried out a comprehensive reform of its pension schemes, with the promulgation of the Pension Reform Act 2004, which was later replaced with the Pension Reform Act 2014.The main objective of the pension reform, which introduced the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS), is to ensure that every person that worked in either the public or private sector in Nigeria receives his or her retirement benefits as and when due. "Under the post-reform era, federal public servants are almost back to the pre-pension reform era, where, under the Defined Benefit Scheme (Pay As You Go), retired federal public servants were not sure when their retirement benefits will be paid. Federal public servants, who retired as far back as October 2015, were not paid their retirement benefits under the Contributory Pension Scheme until early 2017, the same for the next of kin of deceased federal public servants within the period. To date, federal public servants, who retired in January 2017, are yet to be paid their benefits. However, this is not an indication that the reform of the pension industry, which jettisoned the Defined Benefit Scheme for the Contributory Pension Scheme, was ill-conceived or that the new scheme is not working. The scheme is working because private sector employees, who are under the same scheme, regulated and supervised by the National Pension Commission (PenCom), using the same Pension Fund Administrators and Custodians, are not facing the same challenge being faced by federal public servants. "Moreover, Lagos State Government, which adopted the Contributory Pension Scheme and enacted its own law similar to that of the Federal Government, with slight modifications, is a glowing testimony to the effective working of the Contributory Pension Scheme. While federal public service retirees and retirees from other states with few exceptions are languishing in abject poverty and blaming the Contributory Pension Scheme, Lagos State Government retirees are smiling to the bank and feeling happy with the Introduction of the Contributory Pension Scheme. The difference between the Federal and Lagos State schemes is the political will of the Lagos government to fund its scheme". Takor lamented that the problem is that the Federal Government has not been funding the Retirement Benefits Bond Redemption Fund Account in the Central Bank the way it ought to. "Therefore, the bonds cannot be redeemed and the bulk of retirees' retirement benefits are in the bonds. The irony of the whole issue is that more than 50 per cent of pension fund generated under the Contributory Pension Scheme is invested in Federal Government Securities and the money is mostly used by government for recurrent expenditure. It is used for the payment of salaries of active staff and other overhead costs. The question then is why is part of that money not being used to fund the Retirement Redemption Bond Account from where the accrued rights of those who contributed to it are redeemed?", he said. "The answer may not be far from the fact that retirees don't have the capacity to hold the government to meet her obligation to them, through strike actions as current staff can do if their salaries are not paid. Accrued pension rights are liabilities of the Federal Government to her employees and, therefore, the government has a legal and moral obligation to her employees on the accrued rights protected through the issuance of Federal Government Retirement Bond. Part of the money invested in government Securities should have been used to pay accrued rights of retirees, who contributed the money in the first place. "Talking about the political will to fund the scheme, it was in the public domain and discussed in several forums that for the 2016 Annual Budget, the National Pension Commission requested for the sum of N91, 914,899,000.00, being the actual amount required for the payment of accrued rights of retirees in the year 2016. Out of this, the National Assembly approved only the sum of N50, 195,808,918.00, leaving a balance of N41, 829,840,756.00. How much of this has so far been released is not known by us. With the government not being able to, 100 per cent, fund the 2016 budget, it will be a miracle if the whole amount approved in the budget has been released. The amount required will surely be more than N100, 000,000,000.00 if death benefits and other figures we may not know are taken into consideration. "The other issue militating against Federal Government retirees is that under the Contributory Pension Scheme, the take home benefits comprise of accrued rights; contributions made by employees and employers, which are in Retirement Savings Accounts and the return on investments. In order to increase the take home benefits of retirees, when the 2004Act was reviewed, the contributions were raised. Therefore the PRA 2014 provides for 12 per cent and 8 per cent as the new rates of contributions for the employer and employee respectively. Unfortunately, the new rates have not been effected since June 2014 when they became effective. Worse off "States and local governments' pensioners are worse off than federal workers. Years into the implementation of the Pension Reform Act 2004, which repealed the Pension Act 1990 that was of universal application in the whole of Public Sectors in the country and the introduction of the Contributory Pension Scheme, most states governments have failed to enact laws to protect the pension rights of their workers. As at the last count, only about ten states governments have either enacted pension laws or are at various stages of enacting pension laws for their employees. More disturbing is the fact that even those that have enacted their own pension laws, thereby keying into the Contributory Pension Scheme, operate the scheme in default of their own laws. Is anyone therefore surprised that most states government owe their workers' pensions for upward of two to three years?" The former NASU leader believed that matters are made worse because we are in a nation that is administered without a sense of values. "What embolden these people is the fact that they strongly believe, for good reason, that they can manipulate the justice system to favour them and their ill-gotten wealth will open doors for them into private and public castles, to enable them wine and dine with apex spiritual and temporal political leaders and give them access to front rows in churches and mosques, where they think they can use some of the wealth to atone for their sins", Tarok said. "It is precisely for this reason that the Abulrasheed Mainas' of this nation could still be moving about and associating with the 'high and mighty', while they have been declared 'wanted'. There were speculations that his governorship ambition posters even appeared on the streets in Borno State". Saying the plight of pensioners cannot be wished away, the labour leader said, "What is required are proactive actions by federal and state governments to address the plight of pensioners. The first step towards addressing it has already been taken by the federal and some state governments through the introduction of the Contributory Pension Scheme, which is already creating a pool of pension fund. The next step is for the federal and state governments that have pension laws in place, to develop the political will to implement the laws to the letter. Thirdly is to, through the Council of State, ensure that states that have not yet keyed into the Contributory Pension Scheme do so without delay. Finally, no governor or political office holder in any state without a working pension scheme should be allowed to collect pension on leaving office although we know that, through criminal diversions of public fund, they would have collected their pensions upfront. "Meanwhile, the Federal Government has an obligation to meet her legal responsibility towards ensuring that her pensioners and retiring public servants are paid; appropriately fund the Retirement Redemption Bond Account opened with the Central Bank, from where accrued rights (outstanding pension liabilities) are paid and the implementation of the rates of contributions in the Pension Reform Act 2014. Anything outside this will only be begging the issue and shedding crocodile tears on the plight of pensioners." Stagnation Also speaking to Sunday Vanguard, the President of Nigeria Union of Pensioners, NUP, Abel Afolayan, on the plight of public sector pensioners in the country, said: "Pensioners in the public sector have been stagnated over the years due to lack of increase in their pension. Some pensioners go home monthly with pension as low as N5, 000 or N6, 000. Many states are owing pensioners but the worst states are Imo, Kogi, Abia, Nasarawa and Edo. Federal Government has been up to date in the payment of monthly pensions but they owe accumulated arrears of pension increase since July 2010." On what the NUP is doing to address the issues, he added, "The NUP is engaging the Federal Government in regular dialogue over the issues and it is yielding dividend gradually. In March this year, the NUP addressed the members of the National Assembly over the issues which led the Federal Government to inaugurate a committee to look into the plight of pensioners in the country. Recently, the FEC approved the release of N740 billion in bonds to pay pensioners' arrears. Equally, we are trying to reach out to recalcitrant state governors among other steps". Meanwhile, in virtually all the states across the country, retirees groan either because pension is too small or it has not been paid for years. For instance, an activist in Benue said some pensioners in the state still earn as low as N1, 000 per month while another in Kwara claimed some of his colleagues in the state do not take home more than N2, 850 per month. On the regularity of payment, while Lagos, Kaduna and Anambra, among other states, do not owe pension or gratuities, Oyo and Osun, among others, have liabilities running into several years.

Calculator watch
A calculator watch is a digital watch with a built in calculator, usually including buttons on the watch face. Calculator watches were first introduced in the 1970s and continue to be produced, despite falling from their peak popularity during the 1980s. The most notable brand is the Casio Databank series, though watches made by Timex were also popular.
Calculator watches first appeared in the mid 1970s introduced by Pulsar (1975, then a brand of the Hamilton Watch Company)[1][2] and Hewlett Packard.
Several watch manufacturers have made calculator watches over the years, such as Pulsar and Timex, but the Japanese electronics company Casio produced the largest variety of models. In the mid-1980s, Casio created the Databank calculator watch, which not only performed calculator functions, but also stored appointments, names, addresses, and phone numbers.
Mass-produced calculator watches appeared in the early 1980s, with the most being produced in the middle of the decade,
The future of the calculator watch as a practical and useful electronic device has been impacted by the introduction of PDAs, mobile phones, and other powerful multi-functional compact computing devices. As a result, many calculator watches are used for aesthetic purposes.

House of Style DIY Event with Seattle Goodwill
Today, it feels nearly impossible to scroll through your Facebook feed without seeing multiple How To videos. In fact, Buzzfeed targeted DIY fans with their channel Nifty, a social media-focused video brand. These videos hope to catch the eyes of Facebook users of all ages like their other channel Tasty has. "Tasty's Facebook page has amassed nearly 48 million Facebook likes and was the No. 1 video creator on the platform in December with 1 billion views on its instructional videos," reports Digiday. As more and more people are turning to DIY to save money and create custom items, it's no surprise that fashion DIY is also on the rise.
To celebrate the rise of DIY and the rebirth 90's style, Seattle Goodwill hosted a House of Style DIY fashion event. For my readers (like me) who born in the 90s or later, House of Style was a hit MTV show that premiered in 1989. It highlighted current fashion, the lives of models, and fashion industry topics like eating disorders. If you're looking for a feeling of nostalgia, you can watch a 15 minute clip below featuring Cindy Crawford, Dolce & Gabbana and Naomi Campbell.
What made this event really unique and fun was that each of us were given a $25 Goodwill gift cards to shop the store for an item to embellish, distress, re-design or re-purpose. Also, Designer Jordan Christianson of Jonquil & Mr. Black was there to give us inspiration and advice on making the pieces our own. I brought my fiance, Nic, along because he's an expert thrift shopper and I knew I could use his experience to find exactly what I wanted.
Once we were given our gift cards, we spent 10 minutes perusing the store to find our pieces to DIY. We checked out at the register, re-joined the party and got to work. I have to give the photographer, Elizabeth, credit for capturing this moment perfectly. Just look at the focus on our faces!
So what did I create? A silky top with a pearl-embellished collar. While I was pretty close to permanently super gluing my fingers together, the different color and shapes of the pearls helped me upgrade what otherwise would have been a plain shirt into a flashy, fashion-forward top! I also used my gift card to buy a sleeveless fluted shift dress from WhoWhatWear. I left the register with two great items and $10 left on my gift card.
I'll be back to spend the rest of my gift card soon, and if you're feeling inspired to create a DIY fashion statement of your own, stop by your local Goodwill to find hidden gems like these.

Yoan Moncada has had a rash of errors in June. The White Sox second baseman has six this month — all since June 9 — including four in the last four games and two in the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Athletics.
On the season, he's one behind Sox shortstop Tim Anderson for the fifth most errors in baseball with 11 and first among second basemen.
After one of A's first baseman Matt Olson's grounders slipped underneath his reach Friday, a second Olson grounder kicked off the heel of his glove.
"I didn't square up that ball," Moncada said through an interpreter before Saturday's game.
It has been a work in progress all season. Rather than focus on his...

Vaio'd - Another cellphone dump
Bashmit will replace, aw, shit. I must become more social. Think cautiously and plan accordingly. The one good thing about India is, I think, right now, that disguises have to be pretty damn good to have any conceivable chance of working. Makes it tough for foreign spies and internal terrorists alike. To elaborate further on this metro ride to Pulbangash, the sheer number of people around you at most times is enough to make a Big Brother scheme superfluous. Kapish? I should submit my works serially. Perhaps start with SMBD. In my opinion, Soframycin is an excellent medicine. I understand, that is to say in this context that I empathize, and so I shut my eyes and don't pass judgment. Assuming concentrating on your cellphone is equivalent to shutting your eyes. Having corporate worker logos on their clothes gives some people a sense of security. The surest indication that my economic stature has become larger is that I get anxious when the balance on my metro card approaches or falls below ` hundred. It is evidence of a money-trickling-down-through-to-even-undeserving-kids effect that people with soft heels have more easy-going lifestyles. It is blasphemy on nature, I tail [sic] you. The day will come when my cigarette burns will show no more...I'm almost sure that will be a nostalgic time... [Idea for being granted a wish by god that asks to be, to coin a phrase, in on the secret of the universe. God says:] May you perceive existence the way I do. Discussion follows, after an epiphany and a frown. Something like God's Debris by Dilbert creator Scott Adams. Has the trend of celebrities endorsing cars in India gone? We have to do the best we can at the time. Also, the every-point-trying-to-get-equidistant-from-every-other-point-in-an-infinite-universe-of-points thought fits the infinity of the universe, and also, kudos to Chuck Lorre's vanity cards. Through electronics - idly thinking about my Vaio got me, well, thinking, so to speak - we have come to control the movement of electrons, and whatever more (or less) is inside them. My question is, invest more brain power into looking and working outwards, beyond Earth. A house can handle only so many people, and we're procreating all the time. In our minds, if not actually. Send me into space, I lie [sic: t9 for kid] you not. Your noose-around-the-neck job is a product you're consuming, manufactured (IN PRISTINE CONDITIONS WITH 100% PURE INGREDIENTS) by the corporates. To quote Fight Club, "You decide your own level of involvement). I agree with David Lodge in his Thinks... We are in on (way superior to any other species in regard to) death. So the DMRC is Delhi's first brush with international standards. Hm. An impressive one it is, Yoda say. So, as far as I recall, C = 5/9 (F) - 10. Correct me if I'm wrong, pl. I feel the need for a tablet device, but then immediately after I feel I am easily making do with my Nokia 1208. All I need is a space to save my thoughts, arbitrary though they may be, and the text capability of this phone is as good as any others - and even when it has to surpass its limited pre-programmed-dictionary vocabulary, I shift to multi-tap. Simple. As many things in life are. The ones that aren't, aren't. If there's something I can do about them in this moment of time, I'm probably doing it. Or thinking of doing it, at least.

Here is the continuation of my earlier post. I'll try to finish answering all the crazy questions!
Where will you live? In an apartment? A house? A hut???
We will be placing our deposit on an apartment in Freeport in a week or so. Yes, it will be "sight unseen". That's a requirement of full admission to the school. The one we are leaning towards is a duplex style house which has a yard (not fenced) and a grill out back. Since we'll have Matilda with us, we think it will be really nice to have that outdoor space. We won't know for a few weeks though whether or not we actually get the one we want. Living expenses in Freeport are fairly comparable to the US, however Dominica is much less expensive. So we will, no doubt, be looking forward to our move down there to escape the big monthly outpouring of our teeny little budget!
What will you be taking with you? Will you be shipping all your stuff??
We won't be shipping all our stuff. We will be storing or selling most of it. We basically get to go with what we can pack in 3 suitcases and 2 carryons. We will be shipping one box of random stuff we think won't travel well in suitcases though. But we are trying to avoid having to ship as much as possible. The cost to ship a big box overseas is outrageous! We will be living in a "fully turn key" apartment which means that towels, kitchen stuff, and dinnerware/flatware will be provided as part of our rent. We like to say often, though, that once we come back to the states and pull all our stuff out of storage we will feel like we're living at the Ritz! We'll be so used to living with wicker furniture and mismatched drapes! 😉
Do you guys have to get any weird vaccinations to move to the Caribbean?
No, we won't have to get malaria shots or anything like that. At least not to go to Freeport. We haven't heard anything like that about Dominica. We promise not to come back with any diseases though!
Where the heck is Dominica? Is that the Dominican Republic??
No, it's not the Dominican Republic. And it's not actually even pronounced like the Dominican Republic. It's pronounced like Dominique-a (with emphasis on the "nique"). It is actually an island in the West Indies which is just souhteast of Puerto Rico. They call it the "Nature Island" because it is very naturally beautiful. Sort of untouched. It's a volcanic island so there's lots of jungles and it's very mountainous. Not to mention it boasts some of the most amazing beaches in the world!
Can we come visit?!?
Of course! It will be short stay for us, but we would love for anyone to come visit us! As soon as we get settled, I will post our address and what not. Just let us know when you want to come!
We are officially flying out on July 22nd and will arrive in Freeport, Grand Bahama the afternoon of the 23rd. Between now and then we have to pack, move, close on the house, get Matilda's vet stuff done, get our passports squared away, and deal with the student loan drama. So much to do, so little time!

Then there is another old lady who can barely see, but hobbles to the park twice a day. Everyday. Because otherwise she would never see or hear another human being. Again, the relatives have vanished.
This condition of old and lonely people - lonely because nobody wants to be the 'fall guy' in case they ever need help, assistance of any sort - has climbed up sharply in India in the last few decades, with the demise of the joint-family. They are left with no support network just when they really need it. And the government does a damn all about it. The old-age homes only accept people who are fit; the younger the better!

To ensure that anything delivers results at an optimum level, it is extremely important that it is kept in top shape or its best possible condition as far as possible. Not taking care of your belongings will only make it more vulnerable and deplorable in quick time. This applies to cars to a great extent. If you are simply not going to take care of your car then you cannot expect it to continue to deliver to the best of its abilities.
Hence, you see quite a lot of people having some serious issues with the performance of cars, majorly because these very cars were not kept in the best possible condition. What's more shocking is that people tend to turn a blind eye towards their more expensive and highly valued cars like corvette too. The first and foremost step that you need to take right now in order to protect and maintain your car is to select from the best corvette car covers and choose the most appropriate one for your car, and you need to do it right now without any delay for any possible reason. If you are not going to keep your corvette covered then you are inviting trouble for your car.
Covering your car doesn't only mean that it will help improve its performance and functioning. It also means that you get to have your car look brand new, even years after having purchased it. If it isn't exposed to the outer environment it is definitely not going to wear out physically. Now a days, with air quality index showing periodic deterioration it cannot be gainsaid that keeping your car covered has several advantages from its appearance and body point of view. What is particular about Corvette is that it has an amazing shape that cannot be classified as that of similar to any other car. Thus, it is extremely important that you purchase a corvette car cover specifically. It is strongly recommended that you do not look to use covers of any other car, you have specifically designed covers for corvette readily available so it makes perfect sense for you to go for the same.
Different customers have different needs and expectations in terms of quality of product and the service delivered. Thus, it is important for each and every customer to go through detailed information made available by the car covers provider before arriving at a decision like this. Mismatch of expectations and reality can be avoided so you have to take the effort to avoid it at all costs. Your car is your own property so if you are not going to protect it then you should not expect anyone else to do it on your behalf as that is simply not going to be the case. Keeping your car in top condition will not only save you time and money but also add lot of convenience and class to your lifestyle. So look for various corvette car covers and select the best one for your lovely corvette.

My New Year's Resolution: To Grow Longer Hair
My New Year's resolution rarely involves improving or making adjustments to my outer self unless it comes to my hair. I'm a little ashamed to admit, but I resolve for longer hair. I know, I know. I suppose it's nothing to be ashamed of. If it was, the hair weave and extension industry wouldn't be so bankable.
My hair isn't short by any means. It's mid-back length, and my hair is as thick as it is long. I'm not complaining but like every woman I know, I'm obsessed with what I don't have. So every year for the past three to four years, I've been resolving for longer hair. (I'm rolling my eyes as I type.) When I think about it, its so silly but not really. I have made so many lifestyle changes and not to mention product changes to reach "long hair don't care" or in my case, "longer hair don't care" status.
I hear the smug hair enthusiasts saying "You shouldn't wish for longer hair, wish for heathy hair." In my case, I have always had pretty healthy hair. Its full and definitely considered long to others. So I quietly complain to myself or try to make a convincing argument, again to only myself, that longer hair would be even more time consuming. Currently, my hair can taking about 24 hours to air dry in very humid Houston, TX. Luckily and thankfully, I have gotta my wash day routine under two hours, and that's was by the skin of my teeth.
I wish I could say that this year is different that I'm not resolving for longer hair; longer hair is NOT one of my resolution. Oh! But I would be lying. I've been at it for so long, I have a better game plan for more length retention. Length retention is the act of maintaining your ends so that growth is noticeable. You see, everyone's hair is growing. Some people's hair grows faster than others, but the average hair growth rate is about 6 inches a year. Most people never see that growth because of (what I call) hair mishaps. Hair mishaps can be split ends, normal breakage, various internal factors, various external factors and etc. Everyone's hair, lifestyle, and regimen are different but all of these factor can effect your hair.
With so many factors effecting hair growth and this being among my 3rd or 4th year resolving for longer hair, what makes this year different? This year I won't be such an hair extremist. Meaning I won't completely omit any one thing from my hair regimen such as heat or certain products. Singling out one particularly hair practice can be counterproductive. Like everything in life there has to be balance. I plan to focus on the balance my healthy hair journey with my healthy lifestyle. Well, let's see what happens.

Welcome! We are pleased that you have interest in learning about the many benefits of gift plans. If you have any questions about the best way for you to benefit through a planned gift, please call. A member of our Planned Giving Team will be very pleased to help you.
Planned Giving helps you meet your personal, financial and estate planning goals by making a lifetime or testamentary charitable gift. Learn about the benefits below.
Thank you for your interest in Jewish Federation of the Lehigh Valley. Our hope is to serve you and your family with helpful information.
We have complete tax update service for CPAs, attorneys, CLUs, CFPs, ChFCs, trust officers and other professional friends. The GiftLaw services are made available to all advisors as a free service. We are available to assist in helping you provide clients with clear and understandable gift illustrations.
While visiting the Wills Planner on the Federation's website, June, a surviving spouse, came across the idea of a Give it Twice Trust. She contacted the Federation for more information and talked with a gift planner who explained the concept as a way to first give income to children through a trust and then transfer the trust balance to charity in the future.
June: Fred and I talked about this before he passed away. We both agreed that we wanted to treat each of our four children equally and also provide a benefit to the Federation.
The gift planner told June that with her estate of $800,000 she would have the ability to do something significant for both her family and the Federation. June was concerned because while her three older children are financially responsible, her youngest, Jim, "spends money like water." June was afraid that if Jim were to receive cash in a lump sum he would spend it right away.
The gift planner explained that the "Give It Twice" plan could be very helpful. June could transfer $400,000 from her IRA at death to the trust. Her children would each receive one-fourth of the income from the trust over 20 years. That would give Jim a chance to learn to save and invest. After that time, the trust balance would benefit the Federation. In addition, by using her IRA, June could save on income tax because the special trust is tax-exempt.
June: I established a Give it Twice Trust and was thrilled with the plan. The prospect of helping my four children and the Federation made me happy and I knew that it was the right thing to do.

Aahhh Dadaism… What can I say about it ?
Dadaism generates several questions which are nearly impossible to answer. Is Dadaism real art, or simple bullshit ?
The original principle of this movement was to think that « everything is art« . But, is everything really art ?
On Wednesday, I went to the Monnaie de Paris to see « Floor-naments« , an exhibition of the Centre Pompidou's major sculptures – for the 40th birthday of the museum – lasting until the 9th of July. This exhibition exposes the work of different artists, mostly belonging to the Dadaist movement.
When I got out of the museum, I realized I still hadn't cleared my mind, and my opinion about Dadaism hadn't evolved.
I mean, for example, when I see, laying on the floor, in the middle of the room, a random wooden coat rack, alone, with no ornament, no addition, no personal touch, and people calling it « art« … I simply don't get it. I mean, what the heck ?! Marcel Duchamp put a wooden coat rack on the floor, and because he did this, we call him an « artist« ? But everyone can do that (uurrgghh I hate when people say that, but, this time, it's true !). Does it mean when I take my shoes off and put them on the floor, I am an artist ?
I know a lot of people won't agree with me, 'cause this is a very debatable topic. (We will discuss that in a forthcoming article).
Okay, last year, I studied Dadaism, and I learnt some interesting things. I know the aim of these artists is to divert the object from its main function, to make it a piece of art instead of a common object and blaablaalaaa…. Okay ! But to me, it's not a sufficient reason !
Anyway, I have to admit there were some work that I found quite interesting – althou
gh I am still not entirely convinced. For example, when Claudio Parmiggiani dulls our visual and olfactory senses by putting different pigments and spices that embalm the room and create a pleasant mix of bright colors. Or when Valie Export imitates, reproduces with her own body the shape of street objects.
I am not ruling out the possibility to change my mind about Dadaism. Maybe one day I'll completely understand the aim of these artists, and become a fan of this movement ! Who knows…

Initiated by the Law School's Board of Visitors in 2013 to honor then new dean, Daniel F. Attridge, the Dean's Dinner has become an important spring tradition at CUA Law as a means of raising scholarship donations for students. This year's event was held at the Cosmos Club in Washington, D.C. where there was a reception and dinner featuring keynote remarks from Daniel M. Gallagher Jr.,'99, the former Commissioner of the Securities and Exchange Commission and newly announced Chief Legal Officer of Mylan N.V., a global pharmaceutical company.
Agnes P. Dover '81, chair of the Board of Visitors and Partner at Hogan Lovells LLP, delivered welcoming remarks and offered the invocation. Thomas D. Yannucci, former chair of the Board of Visitors and Partner at Kirkland & Ellis LLP, also thanked CUA Law Professor Cara Drinan for her pro bono work with him and his colleagues on behalf of Ivan Teleguz. Yannucci announced that Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe commuted Teleguz's execution sentence.
In his closing remarks, Dean Attridge emphasized the importance of scholarships in recruiting and thanked the donors for positively contributing to students' futures with their gifts. Scholarships make a huge impact on their recipients, making CUA Law more affordable and accessible to students.

An American Football coach once said: "Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing."
By that measure, Truro City's trip to London to meet Charlton Athletic in the First Round of the Emirates FA Cup was a bust. But with the greatest respect to our transatlantic cousin, I don't think he could be more wrong.
A more appropriate summary of last Sunday's experience at The Valley can be found in the wisdom of the legendary (if slightly eccentric) Brazilian footballer Socrates who said; "Beauty comes first. Victory is secondary. What matters is joy." Because there was joy in abundance last weekend, both on and off the pitch.
That's not to downplay the disappointment of defeat, even if it was to opposition playing three divisions higher.
The faces of manager Lee Hodges, 'keeper Tom McHale and goalscorer Tyler Harvey in the post-match press conference were testimony to the pain of losing.
All those involved with Truro City would certainly have relished the chance to progress further in the competition. But there was so much more to it than that.
Last Sunday's match was the culmination of days of preparation, both for the team and for club staff. The endless 'phone calls from national newspapers looking for quirky stories about players with unusual day jobs got a little tiresome; the idea of footballers that actually work for a living was clearly a novelty. And constant references to the club being an "outpost of football", as if Truro was located somewhere north of the Arctic Circle rather than down the A30, also started to get old. But we bore it all with good grace, happy to see the spotlight shining for once on our little corner of the country.
On the pitch, the team rose above the predictable 'plucky under-dogs' clichés. Playing on a pitch that was a carpet compared to most in the Vanarama National League South where they usually ply their trade, the White Tigers created chances aplenty. A ball scrambled off the Charlton line in the first-half, a shot thudding into the crossbar in the second. As they are fond of saying in football: "On another day…"
And finally the fans, all 1,000 of them. Those who had boarded buses in Truro in the early hours of Sunday morning joined Cornish exiles living in the South East. They sang for the entire 90 minutes, overwhelming the more restrained home supporters with chants of "You're only here to watch Truro".
The eruption of emotion when Tyler Harvey headed past the former Manchester United 'keeper Ben Amos in the Charlton goal was marvellous to behold.
Other memories? Charlton fans waving and giving the thumbs up as the team bus turned into the road leading to The Valley stadium. Skipper Ben Gerring walking out of the tunnel carrying his baby son. The players jumping over the advertising hoardings at the end of the match to be embraced by the Truro faithful, proud of the team that had represented their city with courage and tenacity.
In our chaotic world, many things matter more than sport. But Sunday was surely an affirmation of Carlo Ancelotti's observation that: "Football is the most important of the least important things in life."

Studio Clips Demo
Not that I think people can't figure out how to do this themselves...but...I thought I would share these photos. The cord was made just by braiding string. I decided to make the original studio clips set for myself, because i was totally unenthused about getting a big, heavy bulletin board. This is much nicer, and, I think, helps me switch up what's hanging around much more frequently. And CHANGE IS GOOD!

A crispy crust, flavorful sauce, melted, stringy cheese, and fresh toppings make every bite of pizza perfection. Everyone has their go-to pizza combination for a Friday night, but if you're ever looking for some variation, there are other options out there than your traditional tomato sauce and mozzarella. How about a slice of pesto pizza? Or a savory chicken Alfredo pizza? Creative options like these are definite must-trys.
[Homemade Pesto Sauce
Pesto Sauce
Homemade, classic basil pesto makes an excellent sauce for pizzas! All you need is fresh basil, pine nuts, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and good quality olive oil. Of course, there are also other variations of pesto with arugula, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and even great vegan pestos. Click the image to the left for a right to a great homemade recipe!
And here's a great recipe from Bev Cooks to show you how delicious a pesto pizza can be (and she has an awesome pesto recipe too!)
Sausage, Red Bell Pepper and Spinach Pesto Pizza from Bev Cooks
[Alfredo Sauce
Alfredo Sauce
Much like tomato sauce, a good, creamy Alfredo sauce is just as delicious on pasta as it is on pizzas! For an indulgent, classic sauce, you'll need butter, heavy cream, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and freshly chopped parsley. If that's too rich for you, there's other great variations of this sauce, like this one madewith milk and cream cheese, or this extra cheesy variation with Romano and Parmesan.
This fantastic Chicken Alfredo pizza from Blog Chef is a great example of it's potential.

Thampi who conceded 70 runs from his 4 overs went without a wicket against the RCB and overtook the Indian pacer Ishant Sharma for this unwanted record. Ishant Sharma held the record with figures of 64/0 in four overs for SRH against CSK in 2013.
Thampi who was bowling in the powerplay to the RCB batsmen, gave away 37 runs in his first two overs before leaking another 33 runs of the final two overs of his spell towards the end of the innings.
Thampi, renowned for his abilities to hit the deck hard and bowl the toe-crushing yorkers at will was off colour against the RCB and was taken to the cleaners by AB de Villiers and co who piled on the runs and put on 218/6 in their 20 overs.
After the SRH's dismal performance with the bowl, which co-incidentally has been one of their strong points this season, they chased the target with a lot of heart with Kane Williamson and Manish Pandey almost taking the game away. But RCB's Tim Southee helped tighten things in the closing overs, as SRH fell 14 runs short of the win, which means RCB stay in contention for the play-offs.

A Study of the Effectiveness of Sensory Integration Therapy on Neuro-Physiological Development
A Study of the Effectiveness of Sensory Integration Therapy on Neuro-Physiological Development - Download this document for free, or read online. Document in PDF available to download.
Online Submission
Background: Sensory integration theory proposes that because there is plasticity within the central nervous system (the brain is moldable) and because the brain consists of systems that are hierarchically organised, it is possible to stimulate and improve neuro-physiological processing and integration and thereby increase learning capacity. Objective: Accordingly, the objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of sensory integration therapy on improving the neuro-physiological capacity of children identified as having learning difficulties. Method: The Beery VMI and the TVPS-3 were used as appropriate neurological development tests to measure the improvement in neuro-physiology of the children. The study of 62 children diagnosed as having learning difficulties was conducted over the 2007-08 and 2008-09 school years in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Results: In both visual perceptual and visual motor integration assessments, the median standardised scores for the study cohorts over the two academic years showing extremely statistically significant and very statistical significant results with a correlated increase in neuro-physiological performance across the two assessment schemes. Conclusion: The results suggest an unusual advancement in the children's development. They indicate that the sensory integration therapy program was distinctly effective in improving the neuro-physiological development of children with learning difficulties. (Contains 11 footnotes, 6 tables, and 7 figures.) [This document was published by the British Institute for Learning Development.]
