Torrent description
WinRAR is a 32-bit Windows version of RAR Archiver, an archiver and archive manager. RAR files can usually compress content by 8 percent to 15 percent more than ZIP files can. WinRAR's main features include strong general and multimedia compression, the ability to process non-RAR archive formats, ZIP compression and decompression, support for long filenames, programmable self-extracting archives (SFX), repair of damaged archives, authenticity verification, embedded file comments, and encryption. Unicode is supported in archive filenames, allowing non-English filenames to be handled painlessly. You can manipulate the parameters of many archives at once and view a volume sequence as a single archive. WinRAR can convert other archive formats to RAR and search for specified text and files in archives.
WinRAR - What's new in the latest version
Version 3.71
1. Archive names in rar.log error log file always include
the full path.
2. WinRAR tray icon is compatible with high DPI display modes.
3. If you modified a file in archive with encrypted names using
an external editor, WinRAR will not ask for archive password again
when prompting to update a file. It will use a password which
you entered when opening an archive,
4. Bugs fixed:
a) switch -tl and "Set archive time to latest file time" option
could fail in previous version. Sometimes they set archive time
to current system time instead of latest file time;
b) if -ag switch mask contained archive number, month and minute
characters, WinRAR placed 'I' character instead of minute value
into generated archive name for archive numbers exceeding 1;
c) high ASCII names in ISO files using ISO 9660 format without
Joliet format extension were displayed incorrectly;
d) WinRAR could crash when decompressing some of corrupt RAR archives;
e) if "Turn PC off when done" option was set in "Convert archives"
command, WinRAR turned PC off after converting the first archive
in selected group instead of after converting the entire group;
f) if user specified a non-existent destination path in SFX archive
in Vista, SFX could enter into infinite "create new SFX window"
g) WinRAR could fail to unpack an individual file from subfolder
of ACE archive using the drag and drop.
Main Features:
Using WinRAR puts you ahead of the crowd when it comes to compression by consistently making smaller archives than the competition, saving disk space and transmission costs.
WinRAR provides complete support for RAR and ZIP archives and is able to unpack CAB, ARJ, LZH, TAR, GZ, ACE, UUE, BZ2, JAR, ISO, 7Z, Z archives.
WinRAR offers a graphic interactive interface utilizing mouse and menus as well as the command line interface.
When you purchase WinRAR license you are buying a license to the complete technology, no need to purchase add-ons to create self-extracting files, it's all included. One price, one payment, once.
WinRAR is easier to use than many other archivers with the inclusion of a special "Wizard" mode which allows instant access to the basic archiving functions through a simple question and answer procedure. This avoids confusion in the early stages of use.
WinRAR offers you the benefit of industry strength archive encryption using AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) with a key of 128 bits.
WinRAR supports files and archives up to 8,589 billion gigabytes in size. The number of archived files is, for all practical purposes, unlimited.
WinRAR offers the ability to create selfextracting and multivolume archives.
Recovery record and recovery volumes allow to reconstruct even physically damaged archives.
WinRAR features are constantly being developed to keep WinRAR ahead of the pack.

Who is Steve Harvey and what was the Little Big Shots USA host's gaffe at the Miss Universe 2015 pageant?
Broderick Stephen 'Steve' Harvey, 61, is an American comedian, writer and television personality
HE'S the well-known TV star, who in the past has hit headlines for making controversial comments and making on-air blunders.
Steve Harvey stars in Family Feud and Little Big Shots - but who is he, and what was that Miss Universe gaffe? Here's the lowdown...
Who is Steve Harvey?
Broderick Stephen "Steve" Harvey, 61, is an American comedian, writer and television personality.
He is known for hosting an array of TV shows, including: The Steve Harvey Morning Show, The Steve Harvey Talk Show, Family Feud and Little Big Shots - which has come to ITV in the UK.
He has also appeared in motion pictures, including Racing Stripes, Love Don't Cost A Thing and You Got Served.
Steve has been married three times and is father to seven children.
What was Steve Harvey's 2015 Miss Universe gaffe?
In December 2015, Harvey hosted the Miss Universe 2015 pageant in Las Vegas where he made a now infamous gaffe when it came to announcing the results.
Upon announcing the final results, Steve mistakenly named the first runner-up, Miss Colombia, Ariadna Gutiérrez, as the winner.
most read in fabulous
Shockingly, a few minutes after she was crowned, Steve declared that he had read the results incorrectly and that Miss Philippines, Pia Wurtzbach, was in fact the new Miss Universe.
He later apologised to Pia outside the venue and went on to tweet an apology to both contestants – but, in doing so, managed to misspell the country names.
The gaffe was labelled as one of the worst awards ceremony blunders ever until the 2017 Oscars – when La La Land was mistakingly announced as the Best Picture Winner before it was announced that Moonlight had in fact nabbed the top spot.

OOH Kings is the result of a joint-collaboration between Clear Channel Belgium and JCDecaux Belgium. The objectives of this event are to underline the efficiency of the OOH medium, highlight its creative potential and promote the numerous advantages of this fabulous medium.
The OOH Kings consist in three awards: "King of Creativity", "King of Planning" and "King of Efficiency". Each of them rewarding three different ways of including the OOH medium in an advertising mix (Poster, Out of the Box and Digital).
Each King category has a specific briefing, planning and proper rules for entries. Each King (3 in total) will receive a trip to the Cannes Lions Festival for 2 (including flight tickets, hotel nights and entry ticket to the Festival).
The King of Creativity is the one that exceeds in OOH creativity, showing the most original concept, responding best to the brand's objectives, and delivering a perfect execution of the concept. Moreover, the King of Creativity makes perfect use of the chosen OOH medium. To become King of Creativity, submissions can be made in one of these categories:
This can be a creation for street furniture, billboard, busses, trams, truck rears, indoor posters… Every OOH medium you can find in standard product offers, except digital.
This can be any OOH campaign outside the standard rate card offer, but making use of existing furniture. This can be a campaign with an interactive layer, a kind of sampling, special lighting effects, a reshaped format, augmented reality, etc. Whether it's paper, digital or anything else, doesn't matter.
This is a creation for a digital screen. Every OOH digital medium you can find in standard digital offer, such as metro screens, screens in railway stations, screens in the streets, on Carrefour parkings or in shopping malls.
The King of Planning is the one that shows the important role that OOH played in the media mix of his campaign. In other words, how OOH reinforced your media plan and how it contributed to achieve your objectives.
The King of Efficiency is the one that, as no one else, delivers rational evidence he achieved campaign goals. He is able to show how OOH enabled him to reach KPI's defined for the campaign and the best ROI possible.
The OOH Summit takes place on 20/04/2017 at the Event Lounge in Brussels and celebrates OOH. After a mind-opening session with inspiring OOH specialists, the Awards ceremony will crown the OOH King of Planning and the OOH Kings of Efficiency
Try to convince the jury! How did OOH make the difference in terms of media planning of the campaign ?

AUDI City Lights
DDB Brussels Romain Felix and Jonathan BenoisView movie
The adaptive headlights, normally found in the new Audi A4, were integrated into a 210 m² billboard. The lights followed pedestrians and made it safer for them to cross the busy streets around the billboard. This campaign with a high stunt level managed to grab and keep the attention. Both in real life as online, where a video of the action racked up a lot of impressions.
Gold Efficiency
IKEA Sustainability
DDB Brussels and Initiative
The goal of this campaign was to inspire prospective clients and show them that IKEA's products were nice and fun to use but also could easily fit into a sustainable life. Results prove that the poster's layout, on one hand, was efficient to communicate Ikea's message towards its prospects, and, on the other hand, has had a real sales impact. This campaign also received a Silver OOH King Award in the Creativity category.

The recently awarded grants, totaling near £800k, have been allocated to projects firmly focused on efficiency and sustainability, highlight JSR's on-going commitment to scientific advances supporting industry growth.
"We have always found links with academic partners to be very valuable," says Dr Grant Walling, JSR Genetics' Managing Director, "working well for all concerned, and so we are really delighted that, in coming together with both The Roslin Institute and Kent University, we have secured funding to pursue projects that will have real benefits for pig producers both in the UK and worldwide."
Working alongside Professor Alan Archibald, Head of Genetics and Genomics at The Roslin Institute, JSR will be seeking to identify the 'feed efficiency' gene in pigs.
"We have the real advantage of being able to provide blood tests from thousands of JSR pigs for the Roslin laboratories to genome sequence, creating an individual DNA map of each one," explains Stephen Waite, JSR Genetics' Head of Science. "We are also recording the feed conversion ratio (FCR) of each animal using Feed Intake Recording Equipment (FIRE) feeders. These are located at our Newbottle Farm and will show which are the most feed efficient pigs. By examining their corresponding DNA profiles, we hope to identify those genes responsible for feed efficiency."
The ultimate aim of the team is to be able to use SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms) chip technology – glass slides onto which DNA is bonded to represent genetic variants - to identify the most feed efficient pigs at the earliest opportunity.
"At the moment," explains Stephen, "we have to wait until pigs reach around 91kilos before we can select for genetics. This innovation should accelerate the whole process: eventually we would like to be able to select for genetics at birth. In this case, as we are selecting for feed efficiency, a vital trait for all pig producers, the results will benefit the entire JSR range."
The second research project, entitled "Pig IVF and genetics: a route to global sustainability", will be undertaken in conjunction with Kent University's School of Biosciences and The Bridge Centre, a leading IVF clinic. Involving the transport of IVF embryos, the project will be of particular interest to international customers.
"Currently, sending genetics in the form of live animals to international customers can be complex and costly," explains Stephen. "Each animal has to be individually tested at around £250 per animal, vaccinated, and travels in more spacious accommodation than most humans."
By comparison, the transport of IVF embryos would involve a fraction of this cost and the environmental impact would be far less. Embryos suspended in a flask require just one test, can be 'disease washed' as required for their destination and can travel as luggage on a normal commuter flight.
"Working with the Bridge Fertility Centre and Dr Kate Fowler of the University of Kent, who we also sponsored as a PhD student, is an excellent example of the synergy these relationships create," says Stephen. "At present, different people have managed to do different parts of the process but no one yet has managed to pull the whole process together. We think that there will be gains all round for both human and animal fertility. For JSR customers, it will provide worldwide access to the full range of JSR genetics in a more convenient and cost-effective way with substantial savings being passed down the supply chain."
"Both this project and our work with The Roslin Institute are excellent examples of the value of bringing skills and expertise together," says Dr Walling. "We all have something unique to contribute, and everyone benefits when we can join together in meeting the challenges ahead."
JSR are launching a new boar at the Pig and Poultry Fair in May. For more information about JSR Genetics go to www.jsrgenetics.com

By nature, I'm a curious person. Maybe it's the historian in me. I want to know the reasons why things are the way are. Since I moved to Iowa, I have wondered about the statues outside the Scheels sporting goods store at the local mall.
Outside the entryway are sculptures–on the left, one of George Washington holding the Preamble to the Constitution. . .
and, on the right, one of Thomas Jefferson holding the Bill of Rights.
Is it just me, or does a mall in Iowa seem like a strange place to see bronze sculptures of Washington and Jefferson? I wanted to know why they had sculptures. And also why they chose these particular sculptures. I went inside Scheels to ask and was directed to an assistant manager (the cashier didn't know) who told me that the president of the company is a "history buff," and he chooses presidents to sit outside each store. That was all the manager knew. Upon further investigation, I learned that Scheels also has bronze sculptures of Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan outside other locations.
The bronze sculptures are the work of Mark and George Lundeen, who have a studio in Loveland, Colorado.

text: Radu Crahmaliuc 13 April 2016 Categories Technology Share: Six Reasons for Why CIOs Should be Conductors of Digital Transformation Symphony Ten years ago any second slide from any IT corporate presentation started with inevitable title: "Networking Industry Challenges"… Five years ago the same introductory slide started with: "Internet resources challenges". Now, every 8 from 10 corporate presentations from all industries are using as introductory buzz: "Digital transformation challenges"… It's interesting the digital transformation tsunami looks to disrupt in the same way all companies, from any industry, but IT providers are affected first of all. From the managerial perspective, the responsibilities for "What are next?" be involving at the same time CEOs, CFOs, CDOs, but first of all CIOs… How is disrupted the CIO role in organization level? The disruption power of digital waves is leading CIOs to fundamentally change the traditional technologies issues. Until yesterday the main CIOs attribution was more related to IT operations management, packaged software deployment, security prevention and risk minimization, having as main goals the general systems stability and cost reduction. Today CIOs are forced to embrace a more expansive view of their roles, involving direct participation in company's revenues increasing, customer experience improving and digital strategy shaping. Who should conduct digital transformation process? Analyst community is still divided discussing the main role in the digital economy. While majority opinion shows that CEOs should have the main contribution in digital vision and strategy establishment, it is clear that the major role in the transformation process coordination should be played by CIOs. Looking to the business implication at organization level, it's hard to see the limits. The goals for different departments should be aligned internally like general strategy, operational issues and process evaluation also. At the same time, the leader who establishes the vision and strategy needs strong technology knowledge and a clear understanding of transformation processes as well. Anyway the biggest issues in CIO's leadership will be focusing on digital business needs function of the organization's capabilities and resources availability. According IDC "FutureScape: Worldside CIO Agenda 2016 Predictions", 66% of CEOs plan to focus on digital transformation strategies for 2016 having in CIOs the major players in leading every department through this shift. The same report shows not many CIOs are confident in their managerial skills, only 25% being confident in how they will drive new digital streams. Organizations have to solve now this dilemma: CEOs need CIOs in conducting role of business transformation process but CIO's majority looks to be not ready for this demanding role. Without CIO's technology skills a company will have not the power to adopt the key drivers of digital transformations: innovation, integration and incorporation. While digital transformation is crucial on business success IDC predicts that by 2018, 70% of digital transformation initiatives could ultimately fail because of " insufficient collaboration, integration, and sourcing or project management. In order to have successful digital transformation in a company, the same study shows "leaders need to encourage cross-functional collaboration around digital initiative". IT teams will also need to use the "maturity it has achieved in agile project management, integrated service management and enterprise security to support the transformation engine," according IDC. How CIOs should conduct digital transformation in the enterprises? Synthesizing the main research conclusions we can discuss about six essential powers CIOs needs to win in today's digital transformation war: Digital strategy – CIO must be able to articulate a coherent digital strategy, aligned with business objectives and to make that well understood at organization level; Technology innovative leader: will continue to be the main charge of any CIO able to build and deploy the basic high-tech requirements; Transformation leader – CIO will play a key role in digital business vision, helping to align digital initiatives with business goals; Leadership abilities – any CIO should have a leading position in the strategy setting and execution; Operational and financial knowledge – CIO should understand and assimilate the better cost of digital processes, being able to estimate ROI metrics; Establishing and deploying process standards – is also critical to IT to deliver into digital business potential. Are CIOs prepared for transformation leadership role? Big majority of researches are showing a negative answer. What we have gone to do in such a short time? The better solution is to assist CIOs with digital transformation consultancy support. Are CIOs opens up this assistance? They don't have too many to choose if they want to be digital transformation drivers for their organizations. Could be CIOs good managers? This is function of their entrepreneurial skills and the opening on business metrics. Statistics shows more than 40% CIOs are ready to become CEOs in the next few years. This is part of business transformation process. In IT and other technical industries the limits of CEO's and CIO's competences are not so important. In other industries we can assume a lot of CIOs having managerial and economic skills, but average CEO's technical level is under the understanding limits. This is the reason for the lack of reaction to digital changes in large categories of managers. Could we teach CIOs in digital technologies? The answer should be definitively yes: CIOs has the technical skill to understand the innovation and to promote the value of change. Please login or register to add a comment.

Today I have a brand new product from Eufy, the Eufy Genie. This Genie is like the Amazon Echo Dot which I also have. A special thanks to Eufy for sending me the Genie to feature on my channel and compare it to my Echo Dot. My feeling is that this is going to be a little longer review but I will try and keep it short.
For a limited time you can get the Eufy Genie under $30 on Amazon by using this link http://amzn.to/2wk2wXP
The Eufy Genie is black glossy plastic around the edges with flat black plastic on top. It's round in shape and it's profile tapers in. On top there is a small LED ring of multiple RGB LED's that light up when in use and give a status indicator.
I really like how when the Genie is not active the lights shut off. It seems like my Dot likes to come awake all the time. I didn't like it in my bedroom for this reason. However the Genie so far is great in my bedroom as it doesn't produce extra light when not actively being used.
The speaker is downward firing and is even from all angles. There is a Micro USB power input in the rear and a ?" audio connector for audio out. Both the power supply and audio cable are included in the packaging.
Setup is slightly more complicated with the Eufy Genie then the Amazon Dot. After powering on I launched the Eufy Home app. You have to create a login, and it's not shared with the Eufy website. I do wish they added SSO signin options which would make signing in with your Google or Facebook account. Once logged in the app guides you through joining the wifi network the Genie creates, once joined you pick your real wifi network, input your password. You can stop there but you shouldn't you want to signin to your amazon account to allow the Genie to get access to Alexa services and skills. Once logged into Amazon basic setup is done and you can start asking your Genie to do stuff like ask it the weather.
Sound Quality & Voice Responsiveness
The speaker is much louder on the Genie then on my Dot. Anker seems to be doing some EQ processing on it on to prevent distortion when loud which is good but has the side effect of removing the lower tones. When listening to Local radio, podcasts, etc. It leaves something to be desired when listening to the latest top 40 hits.
The synthesized voice is good, it's a little different then the Dot but sounds similar. I found voice responsiveness to be equally as good as my Echo Dot.
- Price point is lower. This makes it great for a second device or someone just wanting to try the technology.
- Louder & better quality speaker (Although less low end) then the Amazon Echo Dot for a lower price
- Has most of Amazon Echo Dot's feature set built in including all the skills.
- Will control Eufy other smart home devices like the upcoming robovac or lightbulbs.
This is a brand new product and Eufy is making firmware upgrades to address some of these issues. As of August 2017 here are a few of the limitations.
- The Genie can't be used to voice command Spotify or Pandora (This is expected to be fixed soon)
- The Genie can't use the call Echo feature yet but this is expected to be fixed soon.
- The Genie can't do voice ordering from Amazon at the moment
- There isn't a bluetooth radio but there is an aux cable to attach a larger speaker system if you wanted to. I don't' think this is as big of deal given the improved sound quality.
- As of right now you can't rename the command key phrase
- Setup is slightly longer due to having to set it up in the Eufy app and the Amazon Echo app.
Value Proposition and Summary
As of late August 2017 the Eufy Genie has a few limitations when compared to the Amazon Echo Dot. Most of these will be fixed with software updates soon according to Eufy within 2 weeks. Once the firmware is updated and many of these fixes are in place, I feel like the two devices will compare closely enough that I can with confidence recommend the Eufy Genie. I like that the speaker is louder than the Dot. In my bedroom it's easily loud enough to read me the news, stream a local radio station in the morning while getting ready, or listen to a podcast. It won't be my main music device in my bedroom due to lack of low end tones but it's great for something that's easy and voice controlled. I like how the Genie builds on an already established platform and nearly all the Amazon Echo skills are available and compatible. Best of all is the price. At normal prices you can save about $10-15 over a Dot and get a louder speaker.

According to a report in Nature News "A 2008 survey of U.S. universities by the National Science Foundation revealed that fewer than 30% of PhDs in the physical sciences were awarded to women. Higher up the ranks, women make up only about 10% of full professorships in physics-related disciplines."
The question is, does this gender gap matter? Does it warrant policy change? Affirmative action? Encouraging girls in math? The answer to all these questions is a resounding no. Most gender gaps have closed in the US workplace. The remaining gaps are natural and fine for a respectful, equal-opportunity workplace.
For example, women are not great at math. We women can get by-in a world of mediocre performances. But in the world of hotshot math, women are outclassed. We should stop worrying about how to make things more equal and instead understand our gender differences.
Yet a study from psychologists Stephen Ceci and Wendy Williams of Cornell University found no evidence of gender bias during the interview and hiring process for science positions. What they found was there were simply fewer highly qualified women.
Live Science reports that women are uncomfortable in a male-dominated setting, and argues that maybe this is a reason there are few women infiltrating the hard sciences. However, that women have a hard time getting into an all-male department does not explain the change in English departments across college campuses. Those were once as male-dominated as the math departments, but women somehow overcame their anxiety of being in male-dominated situations and managed to infiltrate the Chaucer discussion.
It's clear that men and women have different brains. For example, men always want to have more sex than women. You can find women who love sex, men who hate it, etc, but in terms of large populations, the male brain is much more wired to have indiscriminate sex.
One fundamental difference between the two brains is gray matter. And University of California at Irvine released solid data to explain why men are good at math.
"Evolution has created two different types of brains designed for equally intelligent behavior," wrote Richard Haier, professor of psychology in the Department of Pediatrics and longtime human intelligence researcher, who led the study.
"In general, men have approximately 6.5 times the amount of gray matter related to general intelligence than women, and women have nearly 10 times the amount of white matter related to intelligence than men. Gray matter represents information processing centers in the brain, and white matter represents the networking of—or connections between—these processing centers."
Gene Expression published a chart that shows the difference in brain makeup. This site also does a good job explaining why we should not suppress the discussion of male dominance in math. Just because we are uncomfortable with it doesn't mean it's not true.
Now that we have a few decades of data coming from girls who were encouraged to do math, we can say, with a decent amount of certainty, that the average performing girl is as good at math as the average performing boy.
The patterns Asperger Syndrome makes in populations also sheds light on extreme intelligence in men vs. women. At this point, we have enough data about Asperger's syndrome to can say that the people who are incredibly terrible with language (white matter) or incredibly gifted with mathematical thinking (gray matter) are generally boys. Boys, rather than girls, populate the two extreme ends of the bell curve. In the middle, that is people who are decent at math, science and engineering, are equally boys and girls.
So it should not be surprising or controversial that studies repeatedly find that there are large gender differences among extremely gifted math students. More boys are gifted.
Now the world starts making sense. This is why there are more men in math and science positions in universities. This is why the hotshot companies in Silicon Valley are full of male engineers and not women. And this is why we need to stop complaining that science departments are boys clubs. It's not just the department—high-end scientific thinking is a boys club
And before you get up in arms about gender differences, think about all the women who feel they are better suited than their husbands to stay home with the kids. This is not gender discrimination. This is millions of years of evolution that you simply can't deny. Saying that men are better suited for one thing and women are better suited for another is not putting people down, or boxing them out - it's allowing people to be their true selves. We already had a generation of boys playing with dolls. It was stupid. They turned the dolls into guns. These gender preferences are not social constructs, they are the result of evolution.
And anyway, maybe the real answer to why women don't go into higher math is that the problems men solve using higher math do not interest women. For example, here's a mathematician who has provided a proof that shows it's mathematically impossible for men to have more sexual partners than women. Seriously.

The Forte is a new instrument cable from Evidence Audio which offers a musician the best flexibility, performance and reliability in one package. The Forte's innovative design provides the quality of sound Evidence Audio is known for while maintaining the flexibility of common cables.
Here at Dan's Guitars, we believe the Forte makes an instrument sound bigger and bolder, with rich harmonic content. The dual core construction of these cables will provide players with more bottom end and a thicker sound without sacrificing clarity.
Many of the famous guitar, bass, and ukulele players that come through our shop have chosen the Forte because of the boldness that it brings to their sound when using amplification.
Electric guitarists are surprised to find that the Forte is a supple cable that falls easily to the floor, but gives them a heavier bottom end typically found in thicker, less flexible cables.

Karthik being my name, I have often wondered what is in my name? It is a name that is very common and is also the name of Lord Muruga. But were they the reasons why my parents christened me Karthik? Or was there any other significance attached to my name? I asked my dad.
SANKAR – my dad's name.
SHANTHI – my mom's name.
The last three letters from both names, when concatenated, gives KARTHI. And thus my name was formed - a part of both my parents' names!!!
Nice concept, right?? Probably I must pass on the legacy too, somehow…

It's on the Square.
This is the place to go in Brussels,Ladies!
My friend Brenda (from the shop It's Sew Heavenly) and I took a Heavenly Sewing Related Trip!
To. Die. For.
This is the Shop where we found hand made Belgium lace By The Yard!!
Brenda and The Lace.
There was no such thing as "damage control" as the shop ladies pulled out bolt after bolt of this fine lace.
In different sizes and patterns.
And they had it in a narrow edging too!
They spoke English and were very pleasant and helpful.
We kept the Shop Ladies busy measuring.
There are many, many Lace Shops in Brussels but I recommend Maison Antoine.
You will need to ask to see all the lace by the yard because it is tucked away in a cute little drawer.
And what fun we had talking about the plans we had for our lace.
You know what I'm talking about!!

SYDNEY (Reuters Life!) - She's topped bestseller lists all over the world, but it's her home country, Ireland, that excites and inspires popular fiction author Cathy Kelly.
Born in Belfast and raised in Dublin, Kelly started her writing career as a journalist in an Irish newspaper.
Her first book, "Woman To Woman," was published in 1997 and became a bestseller almost overnight, and 12 years — and 11 books — later, her writings, which tend to focus on women and relationships, are as popular as ever.
Kelly, who is an ambassador for the U.N. children's fund UNICEF, recently spoke to Reuters in Australia, where she was promoting her latest novel "Once in a Lifetime."
Q: What started you writing novels?
A: "I've always wanted to write, but I just never thought I could write about our life and the world we live in. But while working as a newspaper journalist, I interviewed the then "new girl" on the Irish writing scene, Patricia Scanlan, and she changed it for me. I remember thinking that her book, "City Girl," was such a contemporary book. Maeve Binchy also influenced me. She wasn't writing about old Ireland either, but about contemporary women."
Q: Ireland has a rich literary tradition, but now we're seeing a lot of successful Irish women authors on the scene such as Marion Keys and Cecilia Ahearn. Is there any rivalry?
A: "I know it would make a much better story to say we are all rivals, but no, we're not rivals we're friends. We go out for lunch, we have meetings. I sent my latest book to Marion Keys in the very early stages and she loved it and that gave me great confidence. I think the pie is big enough for all of us.
Q: Where do you get inspiration for your characters?
A: "Ideas come from the weirdest places. It's very rare that I can pinpoint exactly where an idea came from. There was one book where I got the character after listening to the Scissors Sisters' song "Take Your Mama Out." I thought wouldn't it be great to have a character who was absolutely wild in her youth and now she's incredibly settled and everyone thinks she's this little square person but actually she has a big secret.
Q: In your latest novel, you go back to pre-Christian Ireland. Is that something you want to explore further?
A: "Absolutely, I love that stuff! I loved writing Star's character in my latest book. I'd written half the book and didn't like it and then she came to me. I love that pre-Christian era, it's very powerful. I think we're ready to hear about it more too. Maybe the difference is with this global meltdown we are ready to look at something deeper."
Q: Do you intend to weave threads of ancient Ireland into your writing?
A: "It's happened a lot more because I love ancient Ireland, we've got a wonderful history and a wonderful culture. People say how can books set in Ireland work around the world, but I think I talk about things that work everywhere: life, relationships, grief, whatever. But, it's lovely to have little things that are intrinsically Irish."
Q: How does being a writer help you in your role as a UNICEF ambassador?
A: "Writers fame is very different to Hollywood or music fame, but it's brilliant thing to be able to give something back. In my previous book I mention "if it takes you four days to read this book, by the time you've read it 5,000 children will have died from HIV." I write books that gives me a certain platform to talk to people about something they may not have heard about. UNICEF is just an incredible organization to work with."

This customer makes the most of their rooftop catchment area by using three cisterns, giving them a total storage capacity of what they will receive in about 4" of rain. A floating tank gauge (above) was installed on one tank to provide a quick view of current rainwater supply. Underground infiltration chambers were used on the overflow of one tank to provide additional short-term capacity underground.
This site offers a working model of sustainable living by also using laundry greywater for landscape irrigation and having both solar PV and solar hot water systems.

The Flipped Classroom paving the way from lecturing to teaching
In a traditional classroom, research shows that a lecture goes at the right speed for only 20% of the students, for 40% it goes too fast and for 40% it goes too slow. You can image the teacher standing in front of the class and convulsively holds on to the master's desk, while he using 80-90% of the time to present the content. Then the students are sent home with the task to understand what… Continue reading

Bummer! World War III happened and killed most of the world's population. The ones that got toasted were the lucky ones. Survivors live in constant fear of being murdered or enslaved by violent gangs, renegade military units, and (of course) mutants. Outfitted with a heavily armored car, unlimited firepower, and a thirst for vengeance, our heroine--the Wasteland Angel--roams the radioactive wastes, traveling from one God-forsaken town to the next, protecting survivors from being enslaved. She's on a mission: to defend those that can't defend themselves. Give the Wasteland Angel a hand!

City of Hartsville
100 E Carolina Ave Hartsville SC 29550
For Immediate Release — June 4, 2018
City of Hartsville prepares for the 2018 hurricane season
Hartsville, SC – This past weekend marked the start of the 2018 hurricane season. Forecasters estimate that it will produce at least as many storms as an average season would, and possibly more. As with every storm season, preparation is the key to making sure you and your family weather the storm safely. The Hartsville Fire Department reminds us that taking precautionary measures to plan for a weather emergency is necessary to ensure the wellbeing of our community and encourages everyone to take the following steps to ensure your protection this Hurricane Season:
- Sign-up for CodeRed, the City of Hartsville's free emergency notification system.
- Study the South Carolina Hurricane Guide prepared by the SC Emergency Management Division at schemed.org.
- Create an emergency plan and supply kit for your family with information from Ready.gov.
- Check the National Weather Service website for the latest weather information.
- Contact the Hartsville Fire Department with any questions about emergency preparedness at 843.383.3000.
The City of Hartsville and it's agencies are active throughout the year to plan and prepare for weather emergencies, even conducting simulation events to practice various scenarios.
The Hartsville Fire Department serves as the Emergency Operations Center for the City and the Fire Chief serves as the Emergency Operations Manager. Leading up to an expected event, all vehicles will be inspected and made sure they are ready for service. Generators will be checked and made ready for service. The fire station will be prepared to serve as sector site. Food and supplies will be stocked and equipment will be staged in accordance with the City's action plan while personnel will be given duty assignments and
The Hartsville Police Department assists victims and maintains order in severe weather. HPD officers must still handle the same types of calls they receive routinely in addition to working in the hazards of extreme weather, be it snow, ice, sleet, hail, winds, torrential rain, or flooding. Their primary concern in most weather emergencies is the safe travel of people through the City, and they may close roads or divert traffic where needed, especially in flooding situations and where there are downed trees. We ask that in all cases of extreme weather, if you don't have to be outside in it, please stay off of the roads. HPD reminds us that the best defense is preparation.
Chief Burr, the Emergency Preparedness Coordinator, said, "Hartsville has a history of great partnerships where the Hartsville Fire Department and other City agencies, along with staff and members of our community who volunteer, come together in the aftermath of storms to share resources, help clean up our neighborhoods, and take care of one another. The spirit of community and volunteerism is remarkable in Hartsville, and is something we should all be proud of."
The City of Hartsville Fire Department is a progressive and professional organization placing high value on Hartsville residents, business owners, and visitors to the community, and is proud to serve. For more information, visit hartsvillesc.gov/HFD or follow @HartsvilleFD on Facebook.
The Hartsville Police Department is committed to preserving, protecting and enhancing the quality of life in our community. They practice community-based policing and value partnerships with citizens and neighborhood organizations. For more information, visit hartsvillesc.gov/HPD or follow @HartsvillePD on Facebook.

Over the past several months, we've been asked the question "So, how's the adoption going?" more times than I can count. I love when people ask about the adoption, but I don't always know what to say. My standard answer lately has been "We're still just waiting." I feel like I need to give more of an explanation, but I don't really want to pour my heart and soul out to everyone who casually asks for an update. So, I want you to know what I really mean when I say that we're just waiting.
Waiting is not a strength of mine. Patience is definitely not one of my virtues, but I'm trying to rise to James' challenge to "let patience have her perfect work". Because, I know that in all of this waiting, there is a work being done. It's not something that we can see right now, but it will all be evident in God's time. In the meantime, here's what I'm really saying when I tell you that "We're still just waiting":
- We are praying. This experience has driven us to pray more fervently than we ever have in our lives. I find myself praying randomly throughout the day for our little one – the one we have longed for and dreamed of for so many years now. But, we've also felt such a burden for the woman who will suffer such a great loss through our gain: our child's Birthmother. We pray for her salvation, for her healing, for her peace. There is so much to pray for, so we feel that it is vital that we continue to pray fervently as God is working.
- We are seeking. We need wisdom. There have been adoption opportunities that we've pursued and they fell through and others we have felt strongly about not pursuing. This has been so hard, and it's going to get harder the longer we wait, so we are seeking for God's guidance. Please pray that the Lord would continue to lead us in a plain path.
- We are living. We don't believe that God's Will for our lives is somewhere in the future when we finally receive the desire of our hearts. We believe that God has something for us to do right now, so we are living in the present. Don't get me wrong, I dream of the day when I can hold my sweet baby. I am beyond thrilled about what our future holds, but we don't want to live so much in the future that we miss the blessings that God has for us right now.
- We are hurting. There are days that we struggle with the wait, and that's okay. There is nothing wrong with hurting as long as we take those struggles to the Lord. The adoption process has been an emotional rollercoaster. We've had some exciting days filled with hope and joy. And we've experienced some of the lowest points in our lives. But, through it all, we understand that God is using both the joy and the sorrow to mold us, to test us, to bring us closer to Himself. We know that He will make everything beautiful in His time.
- We are hoping. We've been working on the nursery. This has been so much fun! Making this preparation makes us feel closer to our baby. We've had some people tell us that it's probably not a good idea to start on the nursery this early in the process. That it could take up to two years to get a child, so it will be hard if it's still sitting empty in a year. I understand what they're saying, but we're so full of hope. We can't help but make preparations for what God is going to do. Please pray for us. It could be a long wait, but we don't want to ever get to a place where we lose hope.
- We are sharing. 2 Corinthians 1:4 "Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God." The Lord has brought people into our lives who have been such a blessing to us. They've given us hope through their adoption stories. They've prayed with us and cried with us. They'll never know how much God has used them in our lives. And I'm so thankful that we've had the opportunity to share the same comfort with others who are going through it with us right now. I know that I will love sharing our adoption story when it's fully revealed, but we have a chapter to tell right now. It's a chapter called "Just Waiting", and it's so much more than it seems.
