U.S. Reality Show Crew Detained in Russia's Far East
The stars of a U.S. television reality show are getting a dose of Russian hospitality after crossing the Bering Strait on jet skis and being detained by the military for not having proper travel documents.
"We want to leave. They won't let us leave," said Steve Moll, the team's leader, in a video posted on YouTube.
"They're trying to take us around town and show us museums and other little things, but all we really want to do is get some fuel and head back to the United States," Mr. Moll said.
The five-person team was filming a show called "Dangerous Waters" featuring Mr. Moll and others crisscrossing the globe's waters on Sea-Doos, water scooters.
Last week, the group set out on a 10,000-kilometer journey from Nome, Alaska, to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. All was going well until they arrived at the bleak Chukotka shoreline and were greeted by tanks and rifle-toting soldiers.
Messages from Mr. Moll's Twitter illustrate the group's deteriorating spirits as it becomes clear the military may not be letting them go anytime soon:
"Crossed the Bering Strait…WORLD RECORD…..detained by Russian Military…we are all OK!" Mr. Moll tweeted on July 6.
A few hours later, he tweeted:
"Crazy….we are being shuffled around from one ministry building to another. We are safe….but they may be detaining us for several days!"
Followed a day later by: "Ok…we are still being held…they keep saying we'll be released soon…but now saying maybe tomorrow…we are all trying to stay positive."
Mr. Moll's wife, Annette, said that although her husband had his phone, he has only sent a few text messages and called twice since being detained. On his Twitter account, Mr. Moll said the team was being fingerprinted and charged with entering a military facility.
"This is ridiculous. This is Third-World [expletive]. But we're safe, and hopefully we'll be home in the United States soon," he said.

When I click an image in a post rather than it open up in lightbox (I installed the Lightbox Plus plugin) it takes me to a new page with just the image which I them have to click to open it up. Obviously to my users it seems strange so I doubt they're clicking it for the second time and probably think my site is covered with tiny images!
Any idea what I'm doing wrong please? :)

Training to become a solicitor demands considerable commitment over a number of years. Do your own research to find out as much as you can about what a career as a solicitor is really like. Talk to people in the profession and try to get some work experience. Make sure you are right for the profession and the profession is right for you.
This section of the website aims to help you make the right choice. This information is also available for download in the following resources:
Understanding the realities
To succeed as a solicitor, you need to be determined and highly motivated. It will take at least three years to train if you are a law graduate, at least four years if you are a non-law graduate and at least six years if you are not a graduate.
You will need to:
Qualifying as a solicitor is not easy. You will face the intellectual challenge of exams and you will have to fund your studies. Many trainee solicitors finish their training with debts. Others are not able to finish their training because they cannot get a suitable job. There is no guarantee of getting a job either as a trainee or as a solicitor. However, some students are sponsored through part of their studies and the great majority of students who pass the Legal Practice Course qualify and enjoy successful careers.
The role of the Law Society
As the representative body for solicitors in England and Wales, the Law Society is here to support you at every stage of your training, qualifying and throughout your career as a solicitor. The Junior Lawyers Division of the Law Society offers a range of services for students and trainees and newly-qualified lawyers. For more information visit the Junior Lawyers Division website.
The Law Society is working to improve the current training system for legal students, with a particular focus on ethics and the Legal Education and Training Review. The Law Society has an expert Committee for Legal Education and Training that consists of solicitors, legal services providers and other experts in Legal Education and Training. The Law Society's promotes the following views in Education and Training.
Please find out more about education and training issues and projects on the Law Society's education and training page.
The Solicitors Regulation Authority is warning students who have completed their law degree not to be taken in by a new scam email falsely stating they can get their LPC partially funded by a government body named True Personal Injury Solicitors.
Read more about the scam on the Solicitors Regulation Authority's website.

Go ahead and eat and enjoy fast food, but don't stop counting calories when you're facing that menu board. To keep calories in check, follow these five rules developed by Dr. Jessica Bartfield, an internal medicine physician at Loyola University Health System:
1. Select grilled rather than fried.
A fast-food grilled chicken sandwich has 470 calories and 18 grams of fat, while the fried version has 750 calories and 45 grams of fat.
2. Pass up the cheese, mayonnaise and salad dressings unless low-fat options are available.
Cheese can add an additional 100 calories or more per serving, as does mayonnaise, and you probably won't miss the taste when ordering the plainer versions.
3. Order the smallest size available.
Go for the single burger rather than the double, and order the small fries rather than the super size.
4. Skip the sugar-sweetened drinks.
Beverages sweetened with sugar don't have much nutritional value and don't make you feel more satisfied. In addition, calories from sugar quickly add up, leading to excessive calorie consumption, especially at restaurants offering free and unlimited refills on drinks.
5. Save half of your order for your next meal.
Bring your own take-home dish and scoop half your food into it before you even take the first bite. This will not only save calories, but also time and money.

Germiest Public Places
Wednesday, Apr, 13 2016
Avoid touching these surfaces in public places to stay healthy. An average adult can touch as many as 30 objects within a minute, including germ-harboring, high-traffic surfaces such as light switches, doorknobs, phone receivers, and remote controls. At home, you do all that you can to keep the germs at bay. But what happens when you step out the door to go to dinner, do some grocery shopping, or visit the doctor's office? Know where germs are most likely to lurk.
Restaurant menus
Have you ever seen anyone wash off a menu? Probably not. Cold and flu viruses can survive for 18 hours on hard surfaces. If it's a popular restaurant, hundreds of people could be handling the menus--and passing their germs on to you. Never let a menu touch your plate or silverware, and wash your hands after you place your order.
Lemon wedges
According to a 2007 study in the Journal of Environmental Health, nearly 70% of the lemon wedges perched on the rims of restaurant glasses contain disease-causing microbes. When the researchers ordered drinks at 21 different restaurants, they found 25 different microorganisms lingering on the 76 lemons that they secured, including E. coli and other fecal bacteria. Tell your server that you'd prefer your beverage sans fruit. Why risk it?
Condiment dispensers
It's the rare eatery that regularly bleaches its condiment containers. And the reality is that many people don't wash their hands before eating. Squirt hand sanitizer on the outside of the condiment bottle or use a disinfectant wipe before you grab it. Holding the bottle with a napkin won't help; napkins are porous, so microorganisms can pass right through.
Restroom door handles
Don't think you can escape the restroom without touching the door handle? Palm a spare paper towel after you wash up and use it to grasp the handle. Yes, other patrons may think you're a germ-phobe--but you'll never see them again, and you're the one who won't get sick.
Soap dispensers
About 25% of public restroom dispensers are contaminated with fecal bacteria. Soap that harbors bacteria may seem ironic, but that's exactly what a recent study found. Most of these containers are never cleaned, so bacteria grow as the soap scum builds up. And the bottoms are touched by dirty hands, so there's a continuous culture feeding millions of bacteria. Be sure to scrub hands thoroughly with plenty of hot water for 15 to 20 seconds--and if you happen to have an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, use that, too.
Grocery carts
The handles of almost two-thirds of the shopping carts tested in a 2007 study at the University of Arizona were contaminated with fecal bacteria. Swab the handle with a disinfectant wipe before grabbing hold (stores are starting to provide them, so look around for a dispenser). And while you're wheeling around the supermarket, skip the free food samples, which are nothing more than communal hand-to-germ-to-mouth zones.
Airplane bathrooms
When tested for microbes in the bathrooms of commercial jets, the surfaces from faucets to doorknobs were contaminated with E. coli. It's not surprising, then, that you're 100 times more likely to catch a cold when you're airborne, according to a recent study in the Journal of Environmental Health Research. Use your hand sanitizer.
Doctor's office
A doctor's office is not the place to be if you're trying to avoid germs. From the magazines in the waiting room to the doorknobs and the furniture you sit on, all contain bacteria.
Use a handiwipe or hand sanitizer when you leave the doctor's office.

The Riskiest Driving Distractions
Monday, Apr, 4 2016
Do you multitask behind the wheel, such as reading and sending text messages, making phone calls or even eating a meal? There's just one problem. That kind of behavior can kill you. 80% of all car crashes and 65% of near-crashes involve some form of driver inattention. U.S. News & World Report has identified some of the riskiest driving distractions.
1. Texting
Texting is the most dangerous followed by dialing a cell phone.
2. Dealing with our Kids
Passengers of any age are always a distraction, but the risk increases when those passengers are rowdy or rambunctious children. When kids misbehanve in the car, parents naturally take their eyes off the road, and the result could be tragic.
3. Playing with the Controls
If you want to play that new CD or turn on the navigation system, set the controls before you pull out of your parking space.
4. Eating
Eating or drinking while driving are distractions. Dashboard dining doubles your risk of a crash. Some foods are more dangerous than other, especially hot liquids and greasy or gooey foods since they are more likely to spill.

Tips on How To Pack Light
Thursday, Mar, 31 2016
Cut down on those extra airline fees for luggage by learning how to pack everything in one suitcase. To pack efficiently, you need to pack differently. Dave Parker, managing director of the in-house travel agency at Orvis Travel, offers these tips on how to fit it all in one suitcase and still take everything you need. Top 10 tips to pack light:
1. Go wrinkle-free
Cotton/synthetic-blend fabrics are easy to wash and dry on the road. Also, plan to buy a shirt or two at your destination. It's one way to take home a practical souvenir.
2. Go ballistic
Choose a bag made of ballistic nylon cloth, a fabric that is strong, yet light in weight. If you start with a heavy bag, it's all downhill from there.
3. Choose a color
Think about color schemes when you pack. Make sure everything you bring is in the same palette so it all matches, including the shoes.
4. Think layers
Instead of a single heavy jacket, for example, take light layers that can be added and subtracted according to the weather. For cool climates, take a base layer of merino wool, a synthetic/cotton-blend shirt, a fleece vest and finally an outer layer shell to stop rain and wind. For cold climes, use a warmer base layer and a thicker fleece with long sleeves.
5. Ship ahead
It sounds extravagant, but if you're going to a single place where you need a lot of gear, such as waders, fly rods or skis, it's wise to ship it. The parcel services all have good tracking systems, and you'll know where your bag is ahead of time.
6. Think ounces
Take the smallest container/amount of toiletries possible, especially if you can replenish at your destination. There's no need to take 16 ounces of shampoo for a one-week trip. Get a couple of small, refillable plastic bottles, and fill them at home before you go.
7. Stay organized
Use nylon bags or large, plastic freezer bags to compartmentalize. Put all the socks in one bag and your underwear in another. Knowing what you have helps you avoid over-packing.
8. Go high-tech
Instead of carrying a heavy book, download one to your MP3 player.
9. Think small
Unless you're a professional photographer, take the smallest digital camera you can. The picture quality will still be excellent.
10. Be practical
Wear your biggest/heaviest shoes on the plane and pack the lighter ones.

New York Mets left fielder Jason Bay had smoked what seemed destined to be a tiebreaking extra-base hit in the sixth inning Wednesday night.
Upon reaching first base, he learned otherwise.
Cincinnati Reds right fielder Chris Heisey raced into the gap to corral Bay's shot and strand David Wright in scoring position. Heisey then homered off left-hander Jon Niese the following half-inning and the Mets ultimately dropped their rubber game with the National League Central-leading Reds, 3-1, at Citi Field.
The Mets had won six straight home series since losing a May 12 rubber game against the Washington Nationals, when Roger Bernadina belted a tiebreaking two-run homer in the ninth off Francisco Rodriguez. Cincinnati won the season series from the Mets for the first time since 2001 -- snapping the third-longest drought by one NL team against another.
"I kind of had a 'no way' as I rounded first," Bay said about his shot to right-center, which Heisey tracked down to preserve a 1-all tie. "I saw the replay and he caught it in stride. He made a great play. It's just one of those things. What are you going to do? The guy makes a good play."
With the loss, the Mets dropped three games behind the first-place Atlanta Braves entering a weekend series between the teams in Flushing that closes the first half.
As for Niese, he departed to applause with two out in the eighth inning. He nonetheless left with the Mets trailing, and ultimately suffered his first loss in six decisions since returning from the disabled list a month ago.
Niese had been 5-0 in six starts since returning from a hamstring strain. He hardly was touched by the high-octane Reds offense while matching a career high with eight strikeouts.
The lone hit Niese surrendered through six innings came on a solo homer with two out in the third by Brandon Phillips that evened the score at 1.
"He's a strong hitter," Niese said about Phillips. "As soon as you want to throw soft, he's going to pull it hard. And even when you go hard away, he's a good hitter. He's going to take it the other way, and he's got good power."
Reds right-hander Bronson Arroyo matched Niese's performance, then benefited from the superb play by Heisey in the sixth inning to preserve the tie. A half-inning later, Heisey produced the second hit surrendered by Niese -- a solo homer to left field that gave the Reds a 2-1 lead. Cincinnati had a two-run cushion by the time the seventh ended, although it was based on misfortune, not ineffectiveness, by Niese.
After Heisey's homer, Drew Stubbs followed with a squibber down the third-base line. Wright waited to see if it would roll foul, but the ball stayed in play for an infield single. After Corky Miller lined out for the second out, Arroyo popped up a bunt that landed behind the mound for an infield hit. Phillips followed by dropping what was ruled a ground-rule double inside the right-field line as Cincinnati took a 3-1 lead.
With Arroyo having departed after throwing 99 pitches, Ike Davis smoked a leadoff double to right-center to open the bottom of the ninth against Reds closer Francisco Cordero. Josh Thole drew a one-out walk, but Jesus Feliciano lined out on a hard shot to center field and Alex Cora flied out to right to end it.
Niese had allowed four runs on a career-high 12 hits in six innings on May 5 in Cincinnati.
"I wanted to go after them today," Niese said. "I thought Thole and I did a great job working in on guys. Unfortunately, we got the loss. I made a couple of mistakes in some unfortunate circumstances out there. It just wasn't our day."
Said Cora: "He's been outstanding. I don't like comparing guys, but he reminds me a lot of Jon Lester a few years ago in Boston. He seems like he's getting better and better -- a lot of confidence on the mound."

Howland schools consider switching to local vocational school
The administration and school board of Howland schools are investigating the possibility of switching its vocational students from the Ashtabula County Technical and Career Campus in Jefferson to the Trumbull Career and Technical Center in Champion.
John Sheets, Howland superintendent, said switching to TCTC would provide a large number of logistical and job-related benefits for students but would cost Howland residents extra money on their property taxes — about $84 per year for a $100,000 home.
The school board discussed some ideas with the public at a meeting at the high school in March that it believes are important to strengthening education at Howland. Switching from A-Tech to TCTC is one of those ideas, Sheets said.
Among the chief reasons for considering the move is that the distance from Howland to A-Tech is 38 miles, or about 41 minutes of driving time, compared to 8 miles to TCTC, or about 12 minutes.
The distance to Jefferson leads to several other issues, Sheets said, such as making it hard for vocational students to participate in extra-curricular activities back home and making it hard for them to make connections with employers and job-training activities back home.
Vocational school programs, which all public schools in Ohio are required to offer, are for junior and senior students.
"I see our kids going to Jefferson as a barrier. It puts them behind. In the seven years I've been here, we've been talking about it," Sheets said of switching to TCTC. He believes the distance to Jefferson is keeping down the number of Howland students entering those programs.
"I believe it's more important than ever to provide career education and career development for our students," Sheets said, pointing to job opportunities opening up in the Mahoning Valley because of the emerging shale-gas industry.

Good idea to bring education home. However, $84.00 per $100,000 home is not accurate. New or replacement levy's no longer qualify for the 12.5% property tax rollback due to Ohio's new budget. New seniors reaching age 65 also no longer qualifiy for the Homstead Exemption. Starve the beast. Let the boards and supers lobby Columbus as well as being truthful of cost.

Face paint.
^_^ thanks very much! im humbled that someone as talented as you likes a piece of mine.
I LOVE this design! With different colours it could be different beasts, so two people could have the same design but it would look completly different. Lovelye scrolling too. <3 <3 Thank you for sharing!
That's great! I'm glad it could inspire someone! We were just fooling around that night, and I still had a lower grade facepaint at the time. I have definitely learned that sometimes less is more, as the original is a bit busy. I love that you were able to do a 3-devide with that face, it keeps the eye moving and interested in each section of the face. <3
GAAhhhh pretty forehead shading! o_O This inspires me quite a bit, and draws me in. Lovely, lovely shading there. And very cool design- the white surprised me/is refreshing.
thanks!it was fun to work on. wanted something simple yet looked beautiful so it wouldnt be too complicated to reproduce for others

Jennifer Hudson in New York & Company Double Denim
Jennifer Hudson posed for photos on the press board at the New York & Company Soho Jeans launch event at Marquee. Jennifer has just done a campaign for the brand, which is exciting!
For the event, she of course wore none other than New York & Company denim! She paired their Soho Jeans Destroyed Legging in Wild Blue Wash with a chambray denim button front shirt. I'm not usually a fan of double denim when it's matching like this, but she makes it work. These jeans also remind me a lot of the J Brand Fury jeans from a while ago! You can buy these jeans online at their website for a great price.

Jennifer Hudson in a Chanel Denim Bomber Jacket
The lovely Jennifer Hudson was seen making her way into LAX Airport to catch a flight out in Los Angeles, California. LAX always seems to be the home for so many celebs!
Jennifer wore a black jumpsuit which she tucked into combat boots and layered a denim bomber jacket with a Chanel brooch on over the top. I like how she gave this outfit an edge with the black backpack and the Prada sunglasses. What do you think of it?

Jennifer Hudson in R13 X-Over Jeans in Black Leather
Jennifer Hudson was spotted leaving her hotel in New York to do some press. The actress/singer wore a pair of the new R13 X-Over Jeans in Black Leather with a baseball tee and some studded boots.
R13 has really stepped outside the box with the X-Over cut this season. Though going by the popularity of their coated version of these, I am not the least surprised to see them in leather for the Fall/Winter season. How many of you are looking forward to trying out this new style? You can click here to purchase these pants from SHOPBOP.
Jennifer Hudson in an R13 Oversize Denim Jacket
Jennifer Hudson posed for shots while at Sirius XM radio promoting her latest album, "J Hud." For the event, Jennifer wore an R13 Oversize denim jacket over a black blouse and a pair of leather shorts.
R13 has some great styles out right now, I really like how this only has shredding on one arm and not all over. I also like the oversize fit with the shorts, it adds a great casual touch. You can buy R13 online from LaGarconne.com.

- An ISBN is the 10 or 13 digit number, usually printed on the back of a book with a bar code, that serves as a unique identifier for the book.
- Searching by ISBN is the best way to search because it will get you the exact title and edition that you need.
- Many professors include the ISBN on their syllabi or in their course management system.
If you don't have the ISBN, try a title or author search.
Title search
- Enter all words in the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find books that have all the words you entered in the title. Leave out words such as "a," "an," or "the."
- When including edition, use numeric values. For example, "1st edition" instead of "first edition."
Author search
- Enter all or part of the author name you are looking for.
- You do not need to enter a first name, but if there are a lot of books by authors with the same last name, it may help to narrow the results.
- You can enter the name in any order such as "John Smith" or "Smith John." Avoid using a comma since it has a special meaning in the search.
Keyword search
- You can search by keyword but this approach is not recommended as it will likely return a large set of results.
- If you want to search by keyword, try a combination of author and keyword. For example, "Warren Accounting" where "Warren" is the author and "Accounting" is the keyword.
To refine your results, use the filtering/sorting options
- Filter options include product type and discipline area. Sort options include alphabetical sort (ascending or descending) and copyright year (ascending or descending).

U.S. Gasoline Use May Grow 1.2 Percent in 2012, Lundberg Says
U.S. gasoline demand may rise 1.2 percent this year as the number of licensed drivers increases, according Lundberg Survey Inc.
Taxable gasoline sales in the U.S. may total 372.46 million gallons a day, or 8.87 million barrels a day, this year, up from 368.04 million gallons daily in 2011, according to a report yesterday. That contrasts with a government estimate that demand at the wholesale level will fall 0.8 percent in 2012.
The projection is also based on demand growth reported by the American Petroleum Institute and higher first-quarter sales by retailers including Valero Energy Corp., Trilby Lundberg, president of Lundberg Survey, said today in a telephone interview.
"That's why we're able to project with confidence there will be growth," Lundberg said.
The industry-funded API reported on April 20 that gasoline demand through the first quarter was up 0.4 percent over the prior year to 8.64 million barrels a day.
The Energy Department's Energy Information Administration yesterday projected that 2012 consumption will fall to 8.67 million barrels a day from 8.74 million in 2011. The forecast is 20,000 barrels a day higher than last month's projection.
Lundberg said her company's outlook for increased demand is not based on falling prices at the pump.
"I'm not assured we will have the price crash that will prevent this year from having an all-time record price average," Lundberg said. "We did not suppose it would in order to support the idea that demand is growing this year."
A survey of about 2,500 gasoline stations by the Camarillo, California-based, company, shows the highest average pump price this year was $3.9671 reached in the week ended April 6. The average was down to $3.8542 a gallon as of May 4, according to Lundberg.

"A Long Way From Anywhere" Top 5 Page for this destination Kazakhstan by TheWanderingCamel
Kazakhstan Travel Guide: 707 reviews and 1,643 photos
For how long?
That was the typical response we got from people when we said we were flying out to Almaty, the biggest city (though not the capital) in Kazakhstan for 5 days.
10 hours flying time from London but, with friends living there and an open invitation, how could we not go?
Central Asia? Vast, empty steppes.
Almaty ? Boring ex-USSR city.
Well, those preconceptions were turned on their head pretty quickly.
The setting is spectacular. Almaty (mother of the apple) sits in a green, lush, Alpine bowl while the mountains of the Tien Shan march along the horizon in snow-capped grandeur.
The city is small, full of trees and gardens (somewhat shaggy and unkempt but they gives a good feeling to the place).
Huge Soviet-era blocks of flats are adorned with with elegant murals
Quirky yurt-shaped bus-stops covered in mosaics of broken cup and plates,
the old Tartar part of the city with little white and blue wooden houses and a new, small, mosque built on the site of the one the Communists pulled down years ago, blue domes - gold-starred Russian onions on the Church of St Nicholas and gilded crescents atop the new Grand Mosque all add colour to the scene.
There's a not-to-be-missed typical Central Asian Bazaar where caviar is sold in plastic take-away containers and the white apricots are absolutely delicious.
Bridal parties come to lay their bouquets at the Eternal Flame of the massive war memorial that commemerates the heroes of Kazakhstan who saved Moscow.
A charming wooden buidiling in traditional Kazakh style houses a Museum of Musical Instruments.
Hardly one's idea of a boring Soviet-style city at all.
And then there was the steppe -
driving out to Tamgaly Tas - World Heritage site with thousands of ancient petroglyphs, and the little rag prayers and wishes of modern-day pilgrims. The hot, herby smell of wormwood under the tyres;
flocks of birds flying up from the ground in front of us;
a deserted collective farm with rusted machinery and a long-disused railway line running to nowhere;
boys on little Kazakh ponies
and a picnicking family singing on a hilltop.
Years of Soviet rule has left the city with a legacy of grandiose buildings, a couple of enormous squares and huge blocks of flats.
The rather gloomy and cavernous museum is mixture of natural and cultural history, signed only in Kazakh and Russian but with some interesting exhibits. There are a couple of carpet shops in the museum, with rugs of good quality and fair prices.
Much smaller, well laid out and housed in a charming small wooden building , is the Museum of Musical Instruments.
A visit to an artist's studio was a chance to see inside one of the ubiquitous blocks of flats, and some rather lovely paintings -Kandinskyesque semi-abstract dreamy images of the steppe, folk stories and family life - that quite belied the dreary surroundings in which they were being produced.
If the interior of a Soviet-era flat was as expected, the colour and vibrancy revealed by an invitation to see inside a yurt was amazing. It was a riot of gorgeous colour - long, intricately woven straps criss-crossing the roof, all hung with tassels of wool and silver beads, beautiful hand-embroidered hangings all around the walls. Definitely a home to be proud of.
We were very fortunate in having a driver available to us at all times, so getting around the city, and out in to the surrounding countryside, was easy.
Not much more than an hour's drive from the city, Medeo and Chimbulak are Almaty's playgrounds - skating and skiing in the winter, climbing and trekking in the summer, or - for the less actively inclined - the ski lift at Chimbulak operates all year round, taking you up to 3000m. The mountains are beautiful In Spring the ground beneath you is a carpet of flowers and the views are spectacular at any time.
Much closer to the city centre is the Kok-tyube Hill, accessible by cable car, crowned by the enormous television tower, where you'll find pleasant outdoor cafes and more great views.
- Pros:The unexpected charm of the place; beautiful scenery around Almaty
- Cons:Distance

I just had a visitor from Kazakhstan for a week and she has invited me to come and visit her. After reading your page, I think I should take up the offer.
Love the gorgeous Gingerbread Church and St Nicholas's Cathedral! Fascinating about the wedding pilgrimage. Very nice page. Thanks.
Leyle, I hope you are doing well. Fabulous page with great information here. I especially like your local custom tips. Kazakhstan is still on my must visit list.
G'day, mate! ~ Great observations, THANX! I hope it's not too dramatic now...
Hey, quite a statue! Is it really true 28 soldiers beat off 50 tanks??? Darshan
Thanks for letting me travel to Kazakhstan with you ;-) I always wanted to go there but never made it. Medeo once was a famous destinations for speed skaters because it was easier to set world records in the thin air. Sissi
Great tips. My dad was here during WWII, at a work camp just outside town. He said many Poles stayed after the war. Did you notice that?
They were not just Kazakh soldiers. Most of them were Russians and UKrainians. I think it's important to specify it the memory of the heroes
Almaty looks very interesting through your eyes Leyle! I enjoyed this tour and was thinking of having a vodka with the caviar:). Unfortunately, I probably will do it only to Astana, but you show beautiful steppes. Informative website, BTW.
Hi love the shopping tips and the bus shelter tip! and the green landscapes!lots of colour and design shown here. A friend has had a boarder from Kazakhstan and I hope we will go visit him one day!

1. Ten ways to build a brand for your small business
Branding is just as important for small businesses as it is for big names. Indeed, many corporate brands try to look more like small firms in order to appeal to consumers.
Every time you speak to someone about your business you are involved in marketing. Any conversation about your firm is an opportunity to promote your business and increase sales.
Keep up to date with the latest news and updates for small businesses, updated every Friday.
4. A complete guide to writing an effective press release
There are some clear rules when it comes to writing press releases — covering everything from news angles to structure. Debbie Leven of The PR Coach offers a complete guide to writing press releases that get results.
Trying to satisfy a wide range of different needs is rarely effective. Splitting your customers into different groups of similar people will enable you to market your products or services specifically to the ones that will be most profitable to you.
6. Qualitative or quantitative - which method is for you?
Market research generally falls into two main methodological groups: qualitative and quantitative.
7. Sales techniques and negotiations
Knowing how to sell is a vital ingredient for marketing success. In simple terms, effective sales and negotiation techniques blend talking to the right people — and listening hard to find out what they want to buy.
8. Exporting
Exporting can open up new opportunities, fuel growth and dramatically boost your takings and profits. Selling your goods and service abroad can massively increase your customer base - and your profits.

Rogue took one last look around the room before stepping back into the hallway. Rogue turned to face the next room when a distinct noise was heard. Something just beeped, similar to that of a door opening. Rogue however had not yet opened the door. It took its pulse rifle from its back and began to move down the hallway.
Rogue didn't know how many crew members were back, but it did know that they were back. It needed to get off this ship as quickly as possible. Rogue was nearing the ship's entrance. The camo still needed to recharge, so stealth was not an option. This meant Rogue would have to fight its way out. Something it didn't want to do, but would do if need be.
Rogue rounded a corner and hit someone carrying a large metal crate. Rogue bounced back, but did not fall from the force of the hit. Quickly, Rogue rolled backwards and found cover.
