To help you reach your personal academic goals, (whether it be pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, Trig, pre-Calculus or Calculus, SAT, and/or the ACT test preparation, or may be GRE preparation for an older audience) I will find your weak topics and help you understand it fully. For that, I analyze your previous work and we discuss what you did and why. I will help you to see the logic in the solution and understand the relationship between concepts. Between sessions, I will happily answer short questions off the clock by email, or Skype.
For the SAT/ACT test takers my plan is usually for a student to take the practice test at home or school, then grade it and come back to me with the results. We will diagnose your problems (as in "didn't have enough time", "don't know how to approach a problem like this", "didn't read the problem carefully", "made a calculation error", "didn't know the definition" and so on) and work ...

It seemed like the clouds listened to our wishes, because as we got to Paiyun around 7am the rain lightened, then stopped, and then started to clear a little. We took ...
Day 1: Sun Moon Lake and surroundings
... devastating earthquake in 1997. A Daoist temple was entirely destroyed with the roof crashing everything else (because it was so heavily decorated). It was left as a memory for all the people that died, and a new replica of it was built right in front. Also saw the train station which survived the quake; trains were used to transport construction materials to Sun Moon ...

The party on the final night was fun, and the teachers had a well-earned drink after at the little High Life store - like a 7-11 chain. Next day the bus was very quiet, from exhausted kids who mostly slept, tho a few ********es kept playing on their phones.
Overall, I loved Taiwan- it's like a clean, civilised version of China, and people care about ...
Lukang old town

There were some interesting sights dotted around the temple, including a statue of a bloke with arms coming out of his eyes! If anyone knows the religious/symbolic meaning of this please let us know!
Later in the day the crowds really began to pile in and we made our escape before the narrow lanes became swamped!

This December, Nike and British woolen and worsted cloth expert Fox Brothers will be debuting their much-awaited collaboration. This partnership will showcase Fox Brothers' iconic wool fabric across Nike's Air Magma and Dunk Hi footwear and Destroyer jacket. The Dunk Hi features a mixed material upper with navy leather used for the forefoot and navy wool with green and red stripes for the rest of the shoe; tan accents, a green tongue, and rawhide laces round out the look. The Air Magma is somewhat more subdued with a green and navy wool upper with tan leather accents atop a green sole. The Destroyer jacket sticks to the same look as the Air Magmas with a wool body composed of navy and green horizontal stripes, and premium tan leather sleeves and pocket trim. This premium collaboration will be releasing in limited numbers at select stockists including Hanon on December 7.

Created attachment 388230 [details] [diff] [review]
There's no reason to have it be an xpcom interface. There is now an abstract base class mozilla::widget::Toolkit. The widget backends (windows, os2, gtk2, qt and cocoa) still have their nsToolkit class which inherits from it.
There's no reason nsToolkit should be instantiated once per thread - we don't handle multiple threads with widget anyways and there was a race condition with initialization. Now there is a global instance and no pretense of thread safety.
I also simplified some aspects of the windows and os2 implementation due to needing to support only one instance. I also discovered that all the widget implementations returned NS_OK for nsIToolkit::Init so I moved their code into the constructor.
There's more simplification to be done, but it is out of scope for this bug.
Created attachment 388233 [details] [diff] [review]
Forgot to refresh after getting it to compile.
If we're having a global instance, why keep passing it as a parameter to nsIWidget::Create? and why refcount it? In fact, since the public Toolkit interface has no useful methods, why even expose it at all? Can't we actually completely remove it and make it a per-platform implementation detail?
I just see this bug by chance. If you are doing such code changes to OS/2 stuff, please remember to CC one of the people still working on that, so that we know what is going on and why our build may break.
Created attachment 568124 [details] [diff] [review]
Updated patch
This updated patch removes nsIToolkit, doesn't pass it around in widget creation and removes some android os2 and qt nsToolkit implementations entirely.

Regain Their Loyalty: The Art Of Reactivating Dormant Luxury Buyers
by Layton Han on Oct 24, 6:55 AM
In the era of Groupon Reserve, how can luxury brands hope to hold their customers? If everyone is looking for a bargain, can stores like Barneys and Neiman Marcus even stay in business, much less maintain the loyalty of their pre-recession customers?

Money On Their Minds: A Look At Investments
by Steve Kraus on Oct 17, 7:32 AM
Defining Affluents as the 59 million U.S. adults living in households with $100,000 or more in annual household income (HHI), we find they average $192K in HHI, and their average of $500K in liquid assets is spread across a variety of accounts. Essentially, all have a banking (checking/savings) account, and nearly as many (87%) have a retirement account, including 63% with a 401K. They have a variety of insurance accounts as well, with personal insurance being the second-largest category of Affluent expenditures (behind automotive).

Using Email To Sell High-Ticket Items
by Scott Neuberger on Oct 10, 12:32 PM
Much has been written about today's affluent consumers being device-crazy. For example, according to a recent "Engage:Affluent" column by Stephen Krauss of Ipsos MediaCT, half of affluents now own smartphones and a quarter own tablets, and these numbers have been increasingly rapidly.

Made For China
by Patricia Pao on Oct 3, 6:10 AM
Despite the weakened Chinese economy, the appetite for luxury goods remains strong. What is interesting is that the Chinese look to the U.S. as a credible and desirable source of luxury goods. No longer does the U.S. sit a rung below France and Italy; it now sits side by side on the dais of luxury brands.

Months after the revolution in Egypt, inspiring stories continue to surface that confirm positive progress is still in effect. Egypt is making the transition from the culture of "predetermined fate" to one led by "personal choice."
A couple of days ago, I heard that two of my girl friends decided to remove their head cover, hijab. They suddenly identified that they had been forced by their family to wear it all those years without being convinced of its religious perspective. In addition, many of my Egyptian friends are now more vocal and empowered in their relationship with their parents, managers, religious leaders, and any "supervisory" figure in their lives. Rebelling against the status quo didn't only take place in Tahrir Square, it occurred inside the very hearts of many Egyptians.
After Mubarak stepped down, I thought that his presence still infiltrated much of Egyptian society. The authoritarian, bureaucratic -- and sometimes tyrannical -- figure is present in many Egyptian families, workplaces, synagogues, schools, and other places. The new generation of Egyptian youth learned to obey the authority figures without much questioning -- questioning signified a sign of disrespect and often put one at risk. On the other hand, the public education system in Egypt doesn't equip children with the critical skills needed to analyze the actions and impact of those authoritative figures in their lives. Nor does this system empower them to make their own decisions in life and speak out when they face oppression or tyranny.
The "just obey the orders" mentality manifested itself in the lives of many Egyptians. Educators taught children to memorize text books only to pass the exams, without understanding or questioning the content. In their homes, the majority of Egyptian youth live with their parents until they marry, which includes following the parents' rules and regulations -- especially for young women. In the workplace, the same level of authority awaited youth as embodied in their boss, and not to mention the government and the police as another symbol of oppression.
Too many authoritarian figures helped in shaping a passive, subservient attitude that many of the Egyptian youth are blamed for today. No one would have thought that the Egyptian youth -- who were often described as too passive or dependent -- would break out of their silence to challenge the status quo.
Now, after rebelling against the highest authority figure in the country, many Egyptian youth actively identify these oppressive types of authority figures in their lives and question their behaviors. The Egyptian revolution inspired all levels of society and ages of people. It inspired a true transformation -- the belief that life isn't just a matter of fate; it is a personal choice.

Dining Out
By Suzanne Parker
France and Thailand were not always bosom buddies, diplomatically speaking. One might even call them bitter enemies when they fought for dominance over Indochina. Still, their respective palates didn't hold a grudge, and have long had mutual appreciation for each other's cuisines. Bonne Saison on Bell Boulevard in Bayside is exemplar of this fortuitous state of affairs, serving Thai and French food companionably side by side.

Paterson has ability to help city blacks' living standards
An open letter to Gov. David Paterson.
Everyone should respect, not war
I would like to ponder the impossible: world peace. For hundreds of years, mankind has fought wars. My question is why? There are reasons, I suppose, like hatred for those who are different and economic and natural disasters that impel others to take what they want. There is also the need to force the will of the strong over the weak and destroy cultures that some have felt need to be eliminated off the face of the earth.

Rufus Hound – Regional audiences 'more welcoming' than West End
One Man Two Guvnors star Rufus Hound has claimed West End audiences are harder to entertain than those in the regions.
The stand-up, who has recently toured as Francis Henshall in the National Theatre production and is now playing the role in London, said West End theatregoers and regional theatre audiences differ "massively".
"There were a couple of places we went [on tour], Nottingham and Newcastle especially, where, from the moment we got there, it was like the whole city opened its arms and said, 'We've been waiting for this for ages, come in'. Whereas the West End audience, because of the incredible heritage we have in terms of theatre, do sit there and go, 'I've been to see six shows this year, this is number seven, and I've seen this already, so what have you got?'. It feels like a different set up," he said.
The actor added: "Playing Francis you are vulnerable, as you [in character] are about to 'muck everything up', and if the audience is not backing you from early on, it does feel like bloody hard work. But so far we have not got to the end of one show where we have not won them over."
Hound also described it as "tricky" to be stepping into the shoes of James Corden, who played the role originally.
He said: "There's a degree to which you always want to be the best at anything you do, so it's very hard when you are taking over from someone who has won a Tony to surpass that. All I can do is work harder than I've ever worked in my life to give the best version of it I am capable of."

Once upon a time I had the AfterDark's Flying Toasters on my Mac and Electropaint on my SGI Indy and Octane. Later I went from Flurry to iTunes Artwork on Mac OS X. And that's about it. Advertisement Today is a special day because I've changed my LCD savior to Screenstagram—a screensaver that plugs into the newly released Instagram API. It's quite simple to install and use:1. Go to the Barbarian Group page and download it (only available for Mac OS X at this time). Advertisement 2. Double click on the screensaver file.3. Activate it. If you don't authenticate your Instagram account, the screensaver will grab images from the most popular hipster and dickhead photos in the stream. If you authenticate, it will grab them from your own hipstery dickhead stream as well as your hipster and dickhead feeds. I logged in.That's all. Now, whenever I stop working, Screenstagram will kick off showing me all those pseudo-vintage moments that I love so much. Fortunately, this will not last long, as the world ends tomorrow. It's a great screensaver with only one problem: When you log in, it will not only show your photos and those of the people you follow, but also other random shots. I don't have a clue where they are coming from and I don't want to know. I only know that the assclown with the open mouth is not my friend. The assclown with the closed mouth, however, it's me.

And while you are at it, please add an option to not display the names of the people. It's a lot better not to know.Reply22 repliesLeave a reply

Atypical Food-Related Father's Day Activities to Celebrate Dad
Jesse Reed
Since you were born, all your father wanted on his special day was to have someone deliver him his beloved newspaper and let him devour a plate of bacon. Now it's time to show him you've become a responsible, decision-making adult by taking him out for a Father's Day he won't forget. Here are a few unique food-related ways you can celebrate the man of the house.
Nitehawk Cinema, 136 Metropolitan Avenue, Brooklyn
Spend a little quality time with Dad during this theater's Spoons, Toons and Booze Father's Day special. Nitehawk will play a selection of old cartoons, spanning the years between 1930 and 2000. Dig into an all-you-can-eat cereal bar and throw back custom cocktails to celebrate the big day. Tickets are $16 online; drinks are available for purchase.
Zampa/Bartow Pell Mansion, 895 Shore Road, Bronx
Your dad won't stop talking about how baseball used to be when it was the Brooklyn Dodgers/Yankees before A-Rod. You can't believe people went to ballparks in suits. Agree to disagree, and then pick up one of Zampa's prosciutto-filled picnic baskets and head to the Bronx this Sunday, where The New York Mutuals will play the game as if you were back in 1864 on the lawn of the Bartow Pell Mansion. Attendees must register in advance; tickets for the game are $10.
Papatzul, 55 Grand Street, noon to 5 p.m.
Ready to convince dad you've finally grasped the concept of budgeting? Papatzul is offering a special Father's Day unbrunch where you can get items like four tacos and a beer for $14. Get the whole family involved in deciding whether Pacifico pairs best with shrimp poblano or skirt steak.
Old School Brooklyn, 520 Court Street, Brooklyn
Does your dad frequently remind you that there were days before words like "vegan" and "gluten-free" appeared on menus everywhere? Consider taking him to Old School Brooklyn, where a menu focused on beloved Italian classics like duck and veal meatballs might convince him that this is one brand new restaurant he can get behind. Sweetening the deal, the spot will be offering free dessert for all dads on Father's Day. And afterward, you can help dad burn off the banana split by walking down to the Gowanus Canal and entertaining his lamentations about how much the neighborhood has changed.

Nice fields to watch some baseball in warm weather, nice and close to where we stayed. Played on most of all the fields they have there. Pool was closed.
We were at Legoland and being a Cleveland Indians fan, we decided to check it out. Very small and run down. I see why the Indians left for Arizona. Sorry for the bad review.
This nice park is well-maintained and very clean. It has a variety of usages, including a pool, athletic fields, and a community building. It is quite popular with those in the area.
it was a beautiful trip, i enjoyed touring the city, the shopping plazas, and the location of everything around.
We enjoy watching the college teams that come into town to compete at this park. Large groups of handsome young athletes can be seen patronizing the restaurants and enjoying the wonderful Florida weather. The stadium is comfortable. Tickets are very affordable. Sometimes there is planned family fun going on the sidelines.
Girls day out. We went and had a picnic at the very,very dirty pic ic tables (thank God I had bottled water and disposal wipes ). Trash vans were overflowing. But all in all it was a nice serene picnic and walk along the shores (at least as close as we could get). Really nice spots for pictures. Would visit...
I Recently attended a college baseball game in the stadium at Chain of Lakes Park. The field seemed to be well manicured, but the rest of the stadium suffers from neglect. I attended a day game, but couldn't help noticing the huge Opsrey nests built amongst the lamps in the light towers. The seats in the grandstand were filthy with...
This boat ride is relaxing and fun for the whole family. Go before the weather gets too hot as there is no shade provided on the boat. Takes about 45 minutes to tour at least two lakes with beautiful homes along the way.
We were too busy talking with family to really experience the park fully, but we enjoyed the views, and cleanliness of the lake.
Lower field rest rooms were no much more than outhouses. Rest room was a "onesy" with both a toilet and a urinal - which was stopped up...not very nice :-(

We offer an opportunity for you to be one of those crazy staff members who both initiates dance parties and reminds you that God is bigger than your circumstances. If you have done your DTS at YWAM Wollongong (or anywhere else for that matter), we welcome you to come and walk alongside the next wave of students, applying the things you learned on your school and helping others gain authority in the areas you have won.
After completion of a second level school you will be able to staff that particular course as well. We also get excited when someone joins us with a vision to pioneer a new school or program. No matter what area of training you want to be involved with, we firmly believe our authority comes from firsthand experience.
Joining staff at YWAM Wollongong provides an opportunity for further character development, growth in leadership skills, and for a deeper understanding of God's heart for mankind. Senior staff will walk alongside you and help you discover your purpose and calling. Even if you join staff with the intention to work in a specific area, there might be a season where we need you to help out in a different ministry on campus. Above all, our desire is to hear what God is speaking to you and to empower you to follow Him.

During his days at Florida State University, Rick Davis was impressed by a high school band at a Winter Music Symposium concert at the music school, and was reminded of the musical sounds one can make. He realized he had to "make those sounds", and enrolled in Music School there.
Much later, Rick began playing Hammered Dulcimer, and fell in love with the traditional music he was learning - Irish, Scottish, English, and American Old-Time music.
And now, at his home here in Chattanooga, TN, Cute Dog Music is where those sounds are made, influenced by traditional music.
Rick is an award-winning Hammered Dulcimer player and a composer who plays Hammered Dulcimer in worship settings.
Thanks for stopping by.
