An essay has many purposes, but all of them have the same structure. If you follow several simple steps, you will find that the essay almost writes itself. You just need to generate ideas, which are the most important part of the essay. These simple steps will guide you through the writing essay process:
- Decide on the topic.
- Develop a diagram or outline for your ideas.
- Develop the thesis statement.
- Write the body (with the main points, the sub-points, and elaboration on the sub-points).
- Write the introduction.
- Write the conclusion.
- Revise and proofread it.
When you complete all of the paragraphs for your essay, you must give some thought to the formatting of your paper.
– Check the order of your paragraphs. Be sure your essay makes sense. If your paper is describing a process, you will probably need to stick to the order in which the steps must be completed.
– When you prepare the final draft, you be sure to follow all of the instructions you have been given.
– Revise your writing. By reviewing what you have done, you can strengthen the weak points that otherwise would be missed. Read and reread your paper.

Today I thought I was entering a chat room with Skype's technical support and customer service team. It looked like a chat room, but it was actually a journey into the heart of the Twilight Zone.
While at the Los Angeles Airport, I was about to use the free wireless service provided here when suddenly Skype opened a window offering to connect with Skype Connect, a service I never want to use Skype Connect because I consider it way too expensive. The dialog box only had a connect button and no button that I could see to cancel or refuse the connection. While looking for a way to get out of the offered service, the dialog box disappeared and was replaced with a message saying that I was now connected. This is what I consider to be malware behavior. I immediately quit Skype, but then was wondering if this malware-like system had accrued unwanted charges. I looked for billing information in my Skype account but couldn't find anything to answer my question. I was ticked off enough to want to know and not just let them bill me for unwanted services using a malware approach, so I went to Skype's technical support page and launched a chat session with their support service. To do this, one must enter one's Skype user name and password. In theory, you might think that the Skype customer service representative who you chat with should know who you are. In theory, one would also think that they should be able to answer a simple question: was I billed or not? That all sounds nice in theory, but theory isn't always what we find in the Twilight Zone.
In my chat session, I would be asked again to provide my user name. Then I would be asked for my name. Then later I would be asked for my user name again. And then for my name again. And then, after a series of equally informative and entertaining inquiries of this nature, I would be told that it would take just a few minutes to find an answer to my question, and then when I checked to see if they even knew what question they were actually answering, I found out that they "don't answer this king of questions." Wow, I guess I really did it this time. I thought I was asking something simple, like was I billed or not, but this is actually the "King of Questions"–at least in the Twilight Zone of Skype Customer Service.
By the time my free internet access died, I would find out nothing about whether I was billed. I did learn a few things about Skype, but encountered some giant mysteries, like how a their reps can lose track of so much info so quickly, and why they won't tell you at first when you've asked an unanswerable King of Questions. I am left with gaping mysteries, but I still learned enough to make me want to switch to some other service. The Chinese QQ system is said to be superior in many ways, and that may be my next stop. Other recommendations?

I am sorry I am still sick and not feeling any better. This sinus mess has really gotten me down. My voice is about all gone which is so not fun. My kids are consonantly like hun what did mommy say? I feel like I am whispering ugh! But the good news is I had my ultra sound yesterday and we got to see the baby! I am about 7 wks along and we got to see it's heartbeat. Too precious! So, now I can breathe a little bit easier. My due date is August 13th but we know that never works out.
I have had some early and some late. My last one was late and you would think that as many kids as we have it would be the other way around. We shall see. We are praying for a boy but as long as it's healthy that's really all that matters. I hope everyone else is doing well and has a Merry Christmas!
I was hoping to be better by now but really just praying that by Christmas itself I will be back 100%.

Meet Josephine Foster, or Zo Jo as she's called in the biz. The best pint-sized photographer of them all, Jo doesn't mind doing what it takes to get that perfect shot, until she's sent on an undercover assignment to shoot Ned Hartnett -- teen superstar and the only celebrity who's ever been kind to her -- at an exclusive rehabilitation retreat in Boston. The money will be enough to pay for Jo's dream: real photography classes, and maybe even quitting her paparazzi gig for good. Everyone wants to know what Ned's in for: falling in love with Ned was never supposed to be part of her assignment.
I don't actually have a lot to say about Shooting Stars, but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it. On the contrary, it was a fun read, it just simply wasn't one of those Stand Out Reads, you know?
Let's start off with the story. At first I was just kind of moseying along with the flow, not really invested, but still interested enough that I wanted to keep reading. Then there was this twist that kind of came out of nowhere, but raised the stakes enough that I was plenty more interested and really wanted to know how it turned out.
Then there were the characters. Jo wasn't exactly likeable, but I didn't really dislike her either. I understood both her quandaries about being a paparazzo (did you know there was a singular?) and her rationalization for it, but man, the girl could get some serious inner debates going. Sometimes I just wanted to be like "I think now would be a good chance to tell the truth, he seems like a pretty understanding guy," but no, she had to waffle on about it for longer. Her indecision seemed a bit drawn out to me, but hey, I'm a terrible decision-maker, so who am I to judge?
Ned was pretty likeable, but nobody I was all swoony for since he didn't have much of a personality for a majority of the book.
The Nutshell: Shooting Stars is a cute, quick read. If you want a warm-fuzzy romance then this is definitely something worth checking out. If you're more into the deep contemporaries, then you probably want to go elsewhere.

64% of Chicago moms love waterparks for quick family getaways, and Wisconsin Dells parks are a favorite destination. We convinced them that KeyLime Cove is closer, more adult-oriented, and just as fun for kids. We positioned and created all communications, including as identity systems, advertising, and direct response.
Our "adult-forward" logo captures the sense of laid back island lifestyle, and conveys the idea that the overall experience is a world away from other waterpark clichés.
Our kid-focused logo captures the sense of exuberance inherent in the brand, right down to the characters – and there are plenty of them – who lead in the fun.
A waterpark cannot succeed unless the rooms are full. We created sold out openings and carried high-attendance momentum through the entire season.
To benefit its "shopping-rich" environment, we turned KeyLime Cove transportation vans into rolling billboards with wrap designs that gained attention "on all sides".
With innovative media choices and appealing messaging, we helped KeyLime Cove successfully usurp the consumer's longstanding ties with the Wisconsin Dells waterpark complex.
One of the key elements of KeyLime Cove is its proximity to the Chicago market. Outdoor helps drive Windy City traffic and bookings.


text: A federal judge has ruled in favor of privacy by ordering the National Security Agency to halt the collection of phone records in an anti-surveillance lawsuit. Following leaks from former NSA contractor Edward Snowden on the Agency's potentially unconstitutional collection of phone records, the Senate responded by voting against the collection of those records. Changes to the NSA program are set to take place on November 29 and they include allowing the NSA to search phone companies' databases for call records only with a warrant. But, Judge Richard Leon's ruling has limited impact, his ruling only applies to unique plaintiffs, and not the original disputed suit that helped transform the Patriot Act. More importantly, Leon's ruling only has a lifespan of two weeks before the NSA program's federally-mandated changes come into effect….

Placing Your Spouse On The Payroll
If you own a small business and have a spouse who does not have
full-time employment elsewhere, you may want to consider placing him or her on your
company payroll. (Keep in mind that your spouse must do legitimate work for the
company and the compensation for that work can be challenged by the IRS if it is
considered unreasonable).
The advantages of having your spouse work for your
business are numerous and can often offset the additional FICA taxes the company will have
to pay on his or her salary. A few examples of the potential savings are as follows:
advantages of having your spouse work for your business are numerous
advantages of having your spouse work for your business are numerous
Business Travel
If you take
numerous business trips with your spouse, you may be able to deduct the full cost of the
trip provided you can establish a business reason for your spouse's presence. If
your spouse is not an employee, establishing that business reason would be virtually
Pension Plan
If your salary is
currently in excess of the maximums allowed under your company's qualified retirement plan
(see our Federal Tax Database
for current limitations), you may be able to shift some of your salary to your spouse
in order to increase your combined retirement contributions.
Health Insurance
If your
business is operated as a sole proprietorship with no employees, you may currently only
deduct a percentage of your personal health insurance premiums.
By adding your spouse as an
employee, you could establish a health plan covering all employees which would then become
a legitimate, fully-deductible business expense. Your spouse could be covered under
a family plan which would include you and any other dependents.
Double Taxation
If your business
operates as a C corporation and you have concerns that the IRS may consider your
compensation unreasonable, hiring your spouse or other dependents can give you a means of
taking profits out of the business without having to pay taxable dividends on earnings
already taxed at the corporate level.
As we stated above, the IRS can indeed challenge
the employment of your spouse if they consider it a sham just to avoid taxes. We can
certainly assist you if you feel that employing your spouse is an option you would like to

Loved using the Black Monochrome papers to alter this book. I chose to use pinks to highlight the beautiful strong black & white papers. Cute polka dot wrapping papers in pink & black was a great addition. Flat back pearls and a little bit of bling here and there. Lots of Tim Holtz black soot to ink up the edges a few gorgeous flowers and ribbons and this is what I created. Hope you all like my first Design Team project.

Jake Plummer To Tim Tebow: Enough Already With The Jesus Talk
Former Broncos quarterback Jake Plummer says it's great that Tim Tebow loves Jesus, but he doesn't have to hear it every time he opens his mouth.
"I think that when he accepts the fact that we know that he loves Jesus Christ, then I think I'll like him a little better. I don't hate him because of that, I just would rather not have to hear that every single time he takes a good snap or makes a good handoff.
"Like you know, I understand dude where you're coming from…"
Tebow responds:
"If you're married, and you have a wife, and you really love your wife, is it good enough to only say to your wife 'I love her' the day you get married? Or should you tell her every single day when you wake up and every opportunity?
"And that's how I feel about my relationship with Jesus Christ is that it is the most important thing in my life. So any time I get an opportunity to tell him that I love him or given an opportunity to shout him out on national TV, I'm gonna take that opportunity. And so I look at it as a relationship that I have with him that I want to give him the honor and glory anytime I have the opportunity.Click here for reuse options!

Trinamool Congress's sway is still intact in Singur assembly constituency where the protest against the Tata's Nano project set the stage for the ouster of the Left Front from power. It was at Singur where the project was to be set up. The CPM has not been able to gain the confidence of the voters who reacted against the forceful acquisition of land by the then Bhuddhadeb government.
|Name of the Candidate
|Party Name
|Rabindranath Bhattacharya
|Rabin Deb
|Patra Souren
|None of the Above
|None of the Above
|Dwijaprosad Bhattacharya
|Uma Das(Paul)
|Shankar Jana
TMC's Rabindranath Bhattacharya won the Singur third time in a row in 2011 by defeating Dr. Asit Das of CPM by a handsome margin of 34811 votes.

Ok first of all I have to say that I'm used to drawing only with cole! But drawings with color look so much lifelier IMO. So I thought of drawing/painting/coloring with the computer. But I'm an absolute and completely beginner in this area!
So I thought maybe some pros can help me? (I already got some help from Monu-chan and xangel0 with coloring with pencil Colors)
As of now I have gimp, paint.net and SAI on my Laptop and I also own a tablet! (though I have never used gimp nor SAI nor the tablet before) -_-
And I really wanna learn to color and draw properly with those programms.
So what pc programm is the best for drawing / coloring / painting or so?
I wouldn't mind buying it as long as it is under €200!
Or maybe someone can give me beginner tips or so?

View ProductBuy Now Quick ViewMercury Dime Cufflinks (U.S.A) $130.00 These beautiful hand-painted coin cufflinks require the artist to carefully select each coin and, choosing from a selection of miniature curved and straight brushes, paint by hand every minute detail that already exists in the coin. In painstaking fashion, the artist applies color initially to outline the design, followed by a high tempered firing process. The firing process is repeated after each color is applied. The hand-painting process for each piece varies, some taking as long as two days to complete. In the final stage, in order to protect the delicate hand painting, the artist applies and bakes-on a covering of space age resin, which also adds depth and luster to the item while providing a lifetime of protection to the piece.

In connection with "Fish in a barrel," reader Greg Lang reminds us:
[When] Jesse Ventura was elected Governor [in 1998] there was a MN state constitutional amendment guaranteeing fishing and hunting. PETA came to town to protest, right before the election, citing the Wheaties box cover with fishing tournament winners.
The constitutional amendment on fishing and hunting passed with 72% of the vote. That's amazing because constitutional amendments are at the end of the ballot and not voting on them is considered a "no" vote.
Taking a look at the Minnesota Constitution, we find that it lacks the concision of the federal Constitution. As a result, it has room for important provisions such as Article XIII, Sec. 12:
PRESERVATION OF HUNTING AND FISHING. Hunting and fishing and the taking of game and fish are a valued part of our heritage that shall be forever preserved for the people and shall be managed by law and regulation for the public good. [Adopted, November 3, 1998]
Here we see the "natural right" understanding of the Declaration of Independence, heavily filtered through the light of the Progressive era that brought us the administrative state. Hunting and fishing are not proclaimed to be one of the rights that man possesses by nature, but rather are declared "a valued part of our heritage." Sort of like bocce ball, the beloved recreational activity of the late Minnesota Governor Rudy Perpich. The practice of hunting and fishing are accordingly subject to regulation by experts "for the public good." This isn't exactly the sort of proclamation that stirs men to stake their lives, fortune or sacred honor on it, but it should do to hold off the likes of PETA.

How Exactly Does This Work?
I tried eating it when I was missing 29 Will points from potions, and I went down to missing only 16 Will from max (+13).
So Idunno' where the 4 came from or what it actually is, I don't have enough to test and I don't feel like cooking and chugging for an hour when somebody can go sit in the hot springs for 10 seconds to remove all potion poisoning anyways.
It would be good if you're doing something hard and long like Rabbie Phantasm and get pot poisoned there. You could make a few pets' inventory full of these and try to counteract the pot poison. How many points of pot poison it removes, that I don't know

Workplaces Respond to Domestic Violence
Every 9 seconds in the US a woman is assaulted or beaten. Around the world, at least one in every three women has been beaten, coerced into sex or otherwise abused during her lifetime. Most often, the abuser is a member of her own family. Domestic violence is the leading cause of injury to women—more than car accidents, muggings, and rapes combined.
Everyday in the US, more than three women are murdered by their husbands or boyfriends. Ninety-two percent of women surveyed listed reducing domestic violence and sexual assault as their top concern. Domestic violence victims lose nearly 8 million days of paid work per year in the US alone—the equivalent of 32,000 full-time jobs.
The costs of intimate partner violence in the United States alone exceed $5.8 billion per year: $4.1 billion are for direct medical and health care services, while productivity losses account for nearly $1.8 billion. In the fall of 2010, the Obama administration launched a new initiative to assist employers to respond to domestic and sexual violence. Workplaces Respond to Domestic and Sexual Violence: A National Resource Center is a new initiative that makes it easier for employers to adopt policies to support and protect employees who are victims of domestic and sexual violence.
The National Resource Center's website includes but is not limited to: information on work place violence, guns and the work place, and union responses. The new Workplace Resource Center was created by a partnership of seven national organizations led by the Family Violence Prevention Fund.
For further information on the new national center, visit Workplaces Respond to Domestic and Sexual Violence: A National Resource Center's website at http://www.workplacesrespond.org/.

No doubt I do love coloring flowers as much as I love cutie critters... This card is for a dear friend of mine at Stamp Junkies Facebook group.. I am also entering this card for The Ton February Challenge. The cue word is Love
I have not using color pencils for a while so I thought I give them some love :)
I did a little bit of masking at the largest poppy flower so that I can have it overlapping with the smaller ones. These poppies are from The Ton - Coordinating Outlines Fresh Cut Poppies stamp. I handdrawn the stemps and stamped the leaves toward the middle of the stemps.
Using Polychromos colorpencils...I did about 2-3 layers of Red shades and I used Dark Blue color pencil at where I think it's the most darkest area (mostly where the petals are overlapping) to give some dimensions... For the shadow, I used Warm Gray shades and only did at the based of the flowers as if the light is from the top right . Love how it looks
Here is another look of this card. I hope you like it and Thank you so much for stopping by today.

From: img width=12 height=12 border=0 src="http://opi.yahoo.com/online?u=monz78&m=g&t=0" alt=""firstname.lastname@example.com
Where are the diehard Cosworth fans?? I have decided since no one
is serious enough to buy this as a running driving car, it leaves me
no choice but to part it out and sell the parts on E-bay. If no
serious buyer contacts me by April 11, the Vega items will start
appearing on E-bay.
All I want out of this car is $2000, so after I sell enough parts
to meet this amount, the remainder of the car will go to the crusher.
Sorry I have to do this, but I can't stand having my time wasted
with people just looking.

Making Progress
Sadly, the return from Bootcamp was rough – motivation was hard to find. After a few days of getting very little done at home on my own I decided to meet up with strangers through the Facebook site set up by others who have experienced a post-retreat slump. There are people who meet in cafés or libraries daily, in many cities across the province, to write alone but together. It worked like a charm. I went twice and chapter 5 (that's my second results/discussion chapter) is done. Leaving me with revising chapters 1 to 4, putting all my references in order, fixing the formatting, revising chapter 5, writing a conclusion, revising, rewriting, revising…but the end is approaching. I think letting go of the PhD student identity is going to be hard, but, I get a pay raise, I get to not lose my job, so I'll adjust. Still no idea of a realistic timeline, but it's because a lot depends on my how my co-supervisors feel about the work I've done. Hopefully this lack of estimation skills will not continue throughout my career!

So you want to scale your business? To build an awesome app for your audience or your team? Welcome to the club. Both we and our clients have been there, and great software has been a real game changer for us.
Whether you're building an app for your clients, your team, or both, needs-basis software is a great way to grow your business — no matter how small or large it is.
Just please note that when we say needs-basis, we mean it. We like to believe we're not a typical development firm. Rather than just program, we prefer to understand the entire context and work with you to see what the best solutions would be.
Building apps isn't cheap. If we don't feel they'll provide an ROI for your business, we tell you and recommend against the investment. Yes, we might lose a nice paycheck, but we win your trust, which we believe is much more important.
This is all part of a documented series of processes and systems we have in place to make sure every app we develop is both of high quality and has a high chance of being successful. If you're interested, we can tell you more.
Your Investment
Like any piece of software, web apps vary widely in terms of development cost. Some features require advanced programming which can drastically increase costs.
For a basic web app you should expect to spend a minimum of $24,000, but again, depending on what you need, this can go up to 6-figures very fast.

The ABC's (and D's) of Resolutions Success
As we welcome 2017 into our lives, many choose to participate in a long-standing tradition: New Year's Resolutions. But, setting a resolution doesn't guarantee success. In fact, many fail to reach the goals associated with their resolutions. However, there are techniques one can use to increase their odds of success. Here are a few tips to get you started on your path to 2017 glory.
Allow for Deviations In Resolutions
People often have an all-or-nothing approach to resolutions. If they even slightly deviate from the plan, then the resolution gets thrown aside as a failure. But this fatalistic attitude is unnecessary. For example, indulging one day instead of sticking to your diet doesn't mean you can't continue on the healthier path tomorrow.
Understand that temporary set-backs will occur, and mistakes will be made. And then, reassert your dedication to the cause and move forward again.
Bring Friends and Family to the Fight
Having a strong support system makes achieving one's goals easier. Make sure that friends and family know about your resolutions, and enlist their help in getting to your desired destination. Not only does this help make you more accountable for your actions, but it also gives you a group of people in your life who are prepared to cheer you on when you need a boost.
It is important to have someone you can reach out to when you hit a low point. And, with most resolutions, a low point will occur. Don't set yourself for failure by keeping your resolution a secret from everyone you know. If you aren't comfortable with everyone knowing, then choose a confidante or two to help you on your journey.
Create a Plan
Resolutions are not completed overnight. Instead, there are numerous steps along the way to final success. Instead of only letting the final destination guide you, take the time to identify the mini-goals you must meet along the way.
For example, if your goal is to eat better, then a mini-goal might be to get one more serving of fruits and vegetables every day. The mini-goal gives you something measurable that you can reach with relative ease. Once you reach that milestone, simply work towards a new one.
You also need to plan to avoid your triggers. If eating healthy is your goal, and a particular sweet shop always pulls you in, then you need to find ways to avoid that location as often as possible. Sometimes this means going a bit out of your way, but even traveling on the next road over might be enough to keep temptation at bay.
Don't Be Afraid of Rewards
Rewards help you maintain your motivation, so make sure to incorporate them into your plan. But you need to avoid any rewards that work against your goals. For example, if improving your diet or losing weight is part of your plan, don't use unhealthy foods as rewards. Instead, choose options that let you stick with your resolutions but still have some fun.
By setting yourself up for resolution success, you are better able to meet your goals. So give yourself a fighting chance in 2017, and give these tips a try. You may be surprised by the results.

The 2013 "Dharma as Water" stage adaptation may have concluded, but the participants still remember what the six months of rehearsals and the two years of community study sessions have ingrained in them. A total of 960 Tzu Chi members gathered at Jing Si Hall and together, relived their experience of the joy of Dharma when they participated in the Dharma assembly together.
The 2013 "Dharma as Water" stage adaptation may have concluded, but the participants still remember what the six months of rehearsals and the two years of community study sessions have ingrained in them. A total of 960 Tzu Chi members from the east, north and south zones gathered at Jing Si Hall for a sharing session and together, relived the joy of Dharma they had felt when they participated in the Dharma assembly together. They also vowed to keep the teachings and the spirit alive, by attending the early morning Dharma teachings by Master Cheng Yen and to be of service to humanity.
Cleansing Hearts and Thirsting for the Dharma
"Doubtless, the "Dharma as Water" stage adaptation is still fresh in everyone's mind, let's all present the segment on making vows with sincerity again!"Though volunteers had not practiced their singing and sign language in a month, they had not forgotten anything; in fact they appeared even more relaxed as they joyfully presented the segment.
Volunteer Wu Mei Fang used to be a strict mother in the eyes of her four children. In fact, her children never had the right to say "no" to her. Once, without allowing her elder son to explain himself, Wu berated him for making his sister cry. As she was about to punish him severely, he rushed into the room and locked himself inside. After some time, Wu opened the door with a key, only to hear him sobbing out that he wished to end his life. At that moment, Wu was extremely regretful of her actions— she could not understand why her correction had resulted in so much distress to her child.
In front of her audience, Wu spoke from her heart as she revealed how, because of the high expectations she had for her son, she was extremely strict with him, and how sorry she had felt upon looking back at the past. Upon signing up as a participant in the adaptation, she realized what the particular line in the "Water Repentance" text meant when one's "anger, rage and maliciousness… often cause hurt to others."Wu decided that the way in which she taught her children had to change, and she started to encourage them more often. Now, her children even mimic the way in which she used to get angry in the past just for laughs, and the atmosphere at home has become more harmonious.
Among the volunteers sharing their experience was a mother and son pair, Guo Qiu Xia and Zhou Shi Hong. Tzu Chi member Guo shares how even before she had signed up to participate in the stage adaptation, she had been urging her son, Zhou, to take part in recycling and care visits to institutions with her.
Zhou reveals that whenever he saw others suffering, he would realize how fortunate he is. However, he had not been involved in volunteer training nor sharing sessions till his mother moved over to stay with his brother. Without her, his life became very quiet. Gradually, because he missed her, he started to appreciate that filial piety and engaging in good deeds are two things in life that cannot be delayed. From a casual volunteer, Zhou became a committed volunteer who desired to enter the Dharma. Though he had to uphold a vegetarian diet in order to participate, it was not difficult for him to do so and he received lots of support from his friends and colleagues. In celebrating his birthday, they even brought him to a vegetarian restaurant. "Shrink your concept of self, and think of others more often." Zhou tells those present how whereas he used to think only of himself, he has now become more accommodating towards others. Guo adds that her son now keeps a cooler head than he did in the past.
There participants in the stage adaptation range in age from primary school children to the white-haired elderly; among them was 75 year old Zhang Xiu Li, who, with the encouragement of her facilitating sign language teacher, surmounted the obstacles of pain in her legs while performing the kneeling and standing motions, and a declining memory. Zhang reveals that she had to copy down the lyrics until she could finally remember them by heart. She was rewarded when she was finally able to stand on stage to present the Dharma to others.
In addition, Zhang told of how she would ensure that two meals in a day would be vegetarian. However, after she was selected to present the Buddha's image on stage, she was even more conscious of upholding a purely vegetarian diet. Though she was glad to have the support of her family, it was her friends that would often call to persuade her not to eat vegetarian meals as it would inconvenience them when they went out together. Yet, even with her friends egging her on to do the contrary, her determination did not waver and she even became inclined to persuade them to uphold vegetarianism.
Arising Early for the Dharma Teachings
Wang Xiang Ying defines her concept of freedom as not subjecting oneself to any self-imposed restraints such as time or place. Wang is a very family-oriented person and in the past, she had hoped to contribute as a volunteer only if she had time to spare. As her work location was far from the Tzu Chi community meeting points, she had to travel for one and a half hours if she wanted to attend the study sessions or sharing sessions. "I would end up being almost late every time, and I could only attend the class for half an hour. In the end I decided not to come."
With the encouragement of her sign language group coordinator Luo Xiu Li, Wang took on the role of a sign language facilitator. After attending a series of community study sessions, she started to change her mind and vowed that she would turn up for every community study session as well as the sharing sessions. "If I can hear one sentence of the Dharma teachings, I will strive to practice that teaching in my life, benefitting myself and others. Knowing that I may be late, I would also try to up my productivity at work."
Wang had wanted to attend the early morning teachings of Master Cheng Yen, but was faced with the problem of transport availability in the early hours of the morning. Fortunately, on a reporting trip to Taiwan, she had gotten to know another facilitator Wu Shi Cheng. Wu had his own car and was keen to attend the morning sessions at the Tzu Chi Free Clinic at Redhill. Wu invited a few volunteers who lived nearby, including Wang, to take his "bodhisattva car"and together, they proceeded to attend the morning sessions.
During the trip to Taiwan when Wang was at the Jing Si Abode, she was asked by one of the monastics: "Do you know yourself?"Wang had kept the question inside her heart and had ruminated deeply upon it. "I had been studying Buddhism, and I thought that I knew myself well, but this is in fact not true." During the course of preparing for the stage adaptation, knowing that she would feel helpless at the point of death, she would feel panicky whenever the day drew to a close and with it, came the silence of the night. Faced with the prospect of impermanence, she did not know what to do.
However, she also found the answer — to follow the teachings and example of the Master. Wang says that when her time comes, she will face it calmly and her faith in the Master never wavers. Wang hopes that in future, she will be able to contribute in international relief and medical missions. Though she knows the road ahead is long, she will focus her efforts on basic charity and medical voluntary undertakings and is confident that she will reach her goal one day.
Finding One's Spiritual Home in a Foreign Land
"Tzu Chi saved me while I was in Singapore." In September 2013, Deng Yang Yang, a Tzu Ching (a member of the Tzu Chi Collegiate Youth) had just arrived from Shanghai and had been working for a week in Singapore. He was invited to be part of the stage adaptation and with prior experience in sign language, he agreed without hesitation. It was only later that he found out that sign language was actually rather difficult.
Deng works at a construction site and is tired out by the end of the day. Though the only thing in his mind is to return home earlier to rest, he persisted in his efforts to learn sign language under the care and encouragement of the volunteers. "During practice, I didn't have any particularly deep impressions, but during the three days when the stage adaptation was presented (to the public), I started to feel that the teachings had penetrated deeply into my heart."
After the stage adaptation had concluded, Deng frequently plays the songs from the adaptation and sings along. He also watches the "Life Wisdom" programme. Whenever he sees Tzu Chi in action in his hometown in Guizhou, China, he feels especially warm. During his university days, he would take part in Tzu Chi recycling activities, study sessions and camps accompanied by the volunteers, while today, he has joined the ranks of Tzu Chi volunteers hoping to continue on the bodhisattva path.
Pan Lin, on the other hand, hails from Yang Zhou in China, and has been studying and working in Singapore for close to ten years. Last year, her mother, Lin Yan Fang, joined her in Singapore. Pan shares how after she had entered the Dharma, she no longer buys the fresh meats on sale whenever she is at the supermarkets. Frequently, she also finds that the lyrics of the adaptation would spontaneously pop up in her mind and she would remind herself to beware engaging in evil.
Pan's mother would often engage in charity work back in China, and was keen on doing the same in Singapore. With this in mind, Pan located Tzu Chi Foundation (Singapore) which was nearby their residence. After the adaptation, both of them applied to be grey uniform volunteers and together, they aspire to live out a more meaningful life.
After more than two years of immersing themselves in the teachings of the "Dharma as Water" text, many volunteers and members of the public have understood the importance of filial piety and doing good deeds. Tzu Chi Singapore (Foundation) has also seized upon the opportunity to develop its four missions further and has already welcomed 350 of the adaptation's participants as volunteers. In addition, the management team lead all to continue the vegetarian fast for an additional 108 days, and together, they vowed to walk the bodhisattva path as they served humanity.

text: If the Reds could go back and redo the Kearns/Lopez trade, which of the two players would you prefer to keep. I feel that for all his shortcomings we somehow miss Lopez. Without him we are a slower team (22 steals at the trade), Clayton has no range up the middle giving teams hits that Lopez would get to, sometimes throwing the ball into the stands, but at least he gave the team a chance defensively. I can't believe I am saying this but I miss him out there, and I wish that Narron would open his eyes and realize that our best chance to win is with Phillips at SS and by bringing up Ray Olmedo or Will Bergolia to play second with Freel playing everyday in right. Just my opinion.

Laser Therapy
Edmonton South Animal Hospital now offers low-level laser therapy (LLLT) for cats and dogs, which is a relatively new veterinary treatment option that stimulates your pet's own natural healing abilities. It can reduce recovery times and decrease chronic and acute pain.
LLLT or just laser therapy is very beneficial for dogs and cats. It is a pain-free, non-invasive treatment that improves circulation to injured areas and reduces inflammation and swelling. It can decrease healing times for chronic and acute injuries and surgeries and reduce the pain of arthritis and other degenerative joint diseases.
As your pet gets older, he or she may become more prone to chronic inflammatory diseases and injuries, and like humans, old injuries can become more painful and debilitating. For pet owners that do not want to give their pets anti-inflammatory medications or pain medications, laser therapy provides a safe, longer-lasting treatment option.
Laser therapy for pets treats arthritis, back pain, various types of wounds and accidental injuries, trauma injuries, inflammation of the anal gland, general swelling and inflammation, hip dysplasia, allergies, infections, lick granulomas and tendonitis. It can also be used as pain relief for tooth extractions and gum diseases, and it is very beneficial in improving the quality of life of older pets.
Laser therapy is not painful and does not cause discomfort. Most pets tolerate the treatment extremely well and do not need to be restrained, sedated or held in place. The only side-effect is a mild warm or tingling sensation, which most pets find soothing.
The LLLT therapy is delivered via a hand-held wand that is placed over the area to be treated. The wand emits a light within a very specific set of wavelengths that penetrates through the skin and into your pet's soft tissues, muscles and tendons to stimulate healing naturally.
The specific wavelengths of light emitted from the laser directly stimulate healing on a cellular level. This is because each cell in the animal body and in the human body has certain sections that are sensitive to light. When light penetrates these areas of the cell, it is turned into energy. That energy helps the cell regenerate and heal itself, which reduces pain and inflammation and decreases recovery times.
For dogs with arthritis and other degenerative joint and bone disorders, LLLT therapy helps dramatically reduce pain and restores range of motion in the joint. With less joint pain, your pet is able to maintain his or her activity levels, which helps further reduce pain and can help your pet maintain his or her weight or reduce weight if they are overweight.
To learn more about our new LLLT veterinary therapy or to schedule an appointment to see if your cat or dog with be a good candidate for the therapy, please call our animal hospital at 780.989.5595.

I'm sure most of my readers are keeping busy this month with various preparations for Christmas. Our house is no exception. Rob is busy with his last few classes of the semester and preparing for exams. He also helped out with some landscaping at church Saturday morning when the men had a work day. I've been busy shopping, sewing a few last minute Christmas gifts, and baking a few cookies.
Monday was a very sad day at our house because of the death of our seventeen year old cat Adelaide. She had become very thin recently and was showing other signs of distress. She had a lot of personality for such a little creature and will be greatly missed here in our home. My husband wrote a tribute to her here.
Friday morning I joined a group of people from our church to help with the Christmas decorating. There was a lot to be accomplished but the work went pretty quickly with so many people helping. It was enjoyable to fellowship with ladies I have known for some time and to meet one new member who has recently moved here from Illinois.
After a sad beginning to our week we had a rather sweet ending. My good friend, Sandy and her husband went up to Ohio for Thanksgiving and brought back some cornmeal mush (in a loaf form) and some maple syrup. Sandy and I used to work together and she knew that I love fried mush.
Friday evening we had a special meal of fried mush and sausage patties with maple syrup. After our supper we spent the rest of the evening decorating the Christmas tree.
Have you ever eaten fried mush?
Our one remaining (eighteen year old) cat, Clementine spends most of her time under the tree. We got her at Christmas time when she was about one year old and she has always loved sleeping under the tree.
On Saturday my friend Judy and I went out to the Grain Loft in Duncan for their grand opening. They sell a variety of grains, grain mills, mixers, blenders, dried beans, seeds, rice, nuts, etc. They have a lovely new store and they also deliver here in the area.
This morning we went to a nearby nursing home where one of our pastors has a service each Sunday morning. Rob helps with the music from time to time and it was enjoyable to sing some Christmas carols with the residents there.
Although we are saddened at the loss of Adelaide we have much to be thankful for, including our family, friends, church, and the peace we can have through the Lord Jesus Christ.

I will start my certification story with Security+. At the beginning of 2015 my wife and I decided to relocate from Russia somewhere in Europe, because technical security jobs in my city are at low demand with pretty shit salaries by the way. So one of the first steps for us was to convert my knowledge in something more recognizable all around the world. I read some reviews regarding different certifications and decided to start with CompTIA Security+. I knew that this certification is an entry level one for security, so I it didn't take much time to prepare. Another important reason was that English is not my native language, so I wanted to get a feel of enterprise security terms and approaches.
I have quite weird thoughts about certification process itself. It is not rare that certification is used not for proving skills, just to move up for career ladder regardless what you know and your abilities. That is why I am a big fan of Offensive Security guys, their approach and frustration. Obviously for Security+ you can easily google dumps, but if you don't understand the actual material you will struggle a lot in feature. By the way price around 300$ is quite challenging in Russia I decided to pass exam myself as I did before in school and University. I was always bad in "copy-paste" way.
I examined CompTIA site and found more details about themes:
- Network Security - 21%
- Compliance and Operational Security - 18%
- Threats and Vulnerabilities - 21%
- Application, Data and Host Security - 16%
- Access Control and Identity Management - 13%
- Cryptography - 11%
All questions were divided on these categories. 90 questions/90 minutes to complete exam. 900 points maximum, 750 to pass. Let's prepare.
There were 2 books for Security+ preparation:
1. Gibson "Security+" - https://www.amazon.co.uk/CompTIA-Security-Certified-Ahead-SY0-401/dp/1939136024
2. Dulaney "Security+ Study Guide" - https://www.amazon.co.uk/CompTIA-Security-Certified-Ahead-SY0-401/dp/1939136024
Both books were excellent preparation guide. Let's dig a bit in. Topics were quite similar, so I will speak about both books in general.
- Network Security. Here you will find all variety of topics about firewalls, IPS/IDS, VLAN, DMZ, NAT, protocols from different layers of TCP/IP stack and etc. In exam most of the questions in these domain would be about port numbers and associated protocols, effective security measures to lock down security on network level, wireless security.
- Compliance and Operational Security. This part is quite boring and annoying, but I can't but mention the fact that these topics would be very helpful for you when you will decide to ask security budget increase or buy new fancy useless security toy=) Disaster recovery, backup plans, incident response, risk management - understanding all these topics would be handy to speak with business. More interesting to read about physical security and security administration. Remember all abbreviations, what they mean and how technical stuff influence them.
- Threats and Vulnerabilities. I think most interesting topic in both books. You will dive in malware classification, application and general attacks, social engineering. Most questions from this category would be about choosing best way to mitigate some threat or to distinct one threat from another.
- Access Control and Identity Management. Here you will deal with authentication/authorization (802.1x, port security, RADIUS and etc), host-based security software, ways to improve security on endpoints. Most questions would be about how to implement these features to address specific threat in most effective way.
- Cryptography. Key concepts of symmetric and public key cryptography, hashing, most common protocols, limitations and recommended parameters to use. Also network protocols which use cryptography heavily would be described: IPSec, TLS, HTTPS and etc.
My review would not be really full without my impression about exam. Actually it was not too bad. CompTIA gave you various number of situations and asked for best solution in this situation. 2 out of 4 answers were quite stupid, but to choose right one you will probably need to think a bit. It was all about choosing best variant. You need to remember 2 parameters from situation in your head to do right choice. Also you can find performance-based questions, which were far away from practice. In one question you will probably found parts from different domains. For question examples-have a look at samples in books above.
I spent 2 weeks to prepare for this exam. I did it in PearsonVue center. I used about 60 minutes to achieve 880/900, probably I missed 1 or 2 questions. My first step towards relocation was made.
This exam can prove your entry level of understanding security. It is not hard technical exam, more situation based. Obviously, good university would provide all necessary background to pass this exam quickly. If you are looking for Level 1 position or your first infosec job it is a good choice. With my current level of experience and knowledge I would not bother to recertify after expiration.

Madrid's Hippest Shopping District: Fuencarral StreetThings to Do — By Sarah E. Rogers on May 1, 2011 at 6:25 pm
Whether for the shopping or the people watching, the commercial pedestrian Fuencarral Street has got it going on.
Start at Fuencarral Street's southern point at Gran Vía and make your way towards the Bilbao roundabout. You'll see the shops of Spanish designers like Adolfo Domínguez (clothing), One of 50 (jewelry), and Divina Providencia (clothing); Spanish clothing chains like Blanco, Mango, and Torero; and international stores like Calvin Klein, Diesel, and Comme de Garcons.
As you make your way down the street you'll no doubt also come across the Mercado Fuencarral. This unique and hip mall, billed as the mall for those who don't like malls, is definitely the place to buy something different, like punk, mod, rocker, goth, or military-style clothing and accessories. Or you can simply rest your weary feet and have a drink at the bar downstairs.

Imagine a dinner table where all of the 60 guests can speak only one language that no one else understands. In the two or more hours they spend together, they may end up communicating with each other through signs, grunts, coughs, sighs or touch. The question arises: what was there to communicate without sharing a common language and did the means of interacting with one another serve their intention.
Queries like these were raised on one evening of December2016 in Lahore at the 'Silent Dinner' — a performance by Honi Ryan that took place at a restaurant in the interior city, where all the guests were asked not to utter a single word, not even read a text (from their cell phones or a book) or write anything.
Frustration, exasperation and exhaustion were the initial responses the 'Silent Dinner' caused among the participants in the performance by Ryan. Most of them while leaving for the Dinner were not aware of the role between a participant and observer. Some even had food at home, assuming there will be no food at this art event called 'Silent Dinner'. Also, for them witnessing the performance was more like being its audience rather than being part of the artwork.
But they were caught in the middle of art — in a performance piece by Honi Ryan who was born in Melbourne, Australia but is now based in Berlin, Germany. Before Lahore, the 'Silent Dinner'has been held in Sydney, Adelaide (Australia), New York, Greensboro (USA), Beirut (Lebanon), Dubai (UAE), Mexico City (Mexico), Shanghai, NanTong (China). The peculiar aspect of hosting it in Lahore, as observed by Ryan, was respecting the local custom —of serving food without hard drinks. So the reaction of Lahore participants was different from all others who took part in these performances in various cities of the world.
One can comprehend the underlying content in artwork even if one discounts the response of guests at various locations. Language is a tool invented by human beings to share thoughts, preserve experiences and transfer knowledge to the next generations. The moment we are old enough to speak, we start conversing with each other even if it's in the form of unformed sounds of words. Discourse with others makes us human, since language is a way of connecting all mankind — something that elevates humans from any other living specie.
In Intizar Husain's short story,Aakhri Admi (the Last Man in which he incorporated biblical reference/tone), the jews of a small settlement start turning into monkeys because they disobeyed God's orders. The punishment for this contrivance was making them inhuman, except the last man, the shrewd one, who devised a plan to defy God's command. The last man was in agony because he was unable to communicate with his fellows who were transformed into monkeys one after the other. The language, which survived in a solitary man in the form of thought in his head, was painful because he was unable to convey it to anyone else.
So the function of language is mainly of interacting with other humans, and it serves as a tool to recognise one's humanity in reference to otherspecies. But once it was barred during the 'Silent Dinner', all those gathered around the table started to employ other means of communication. If on one level they were still speaking in their heads — since thinking is a silent language — outwardly they were shaking hands, tapping on shoulders, pointing towards food, offering dishes to whoever was sitting in front or next, and waving to acquaintances on other tables. From the first few minutes of pondering on what to do, they managed to interact with others to the extent that at the end of performance, when they were allowed to talk,many were at a loss on what to say.
Yet, once the human race is stripped of this gift of speech, it can still survive and manage to make itself understood. It was observed to a level in Lahore, and must have been the same during other Silent Dinners in different cities. But Lahore performance was unique because of the political history of this country. The nation has suffered years of dictatorship that always tried to stifle the voices of dissent.
The brief history of Pakistan is replete with cases of poets, painters, playwrights, dancers and actors who were stopped from publication, performance and appearances. Writers such as Josh Malihabadi, Faiz Ahmed Faiz and many others were not allowed on official media; yet they survived their oppressors.
The performance 'Silent Dinner' by Honi Ryan was a reminder of that aspect of human resistance, which finds freedom from any oppressive junta commanding the country for a decade or more, or a voluntarily obligation only for two and half hours at a nice restaurant on a pleasant evening in Lahore.
