~Vanguard Nigeria. Sunday, September 11, 2016.
With many of our men complaining of different types of 'accidents' in the bedroom, it is no surprise that the help of what is now termed a 'sexual surrogate' could come in handy. The average 'sexual surrogate' is not a prostitute but a trained psychotherapist who acts as a surrogate for men suffering from a variety of sexual problems which are hampering their ability to have a normal physical relationship.
Padma Deva is currently a highly successful surrogate based in the UK. She said she's never had a negative experience with a client, and far from feeling in any way degraded by her work, she finds it emotionally fulfilling.
According to her: "It is wonderful to witness the transformation my clients undergo, and knowing I have played a part in that is rewarding. During an initial consultation with a new client, I recommend a client sees their doctor to rule out physical causes for their sexual problems such as diabetes or high blood pressure."
If surrogacy is deemed appropriate, she asks her client to take a sexually transmitted disease test before hand. Only then can the surrogacy work begin. To start with, both client' and surrogate may remain fully clothed, focusing on exercises such as touching each other's hands, arms, shoulders and face. As the therapy advances, the client and the surrogate may build up to removing their clothes, engaging in genital contact and, if necessary and appropriate, full sexual intercourse.
According to Padma, almost all of the clients she has seen for premature ejaculation issues have been able to improve the duration of their love-making from a typical 30-60 seconds initially, up to and beyond the male average of five to ten minutes. Similarly, she says 90 per cent of her erectile dysfunction clients have learned how to gain an erection without relying on medication such as viagra.
'Every client I've worked with has left the programme with new-found confidence," she said. One of such clients is Alan, a 28-year-old clerical worker, who decided to see her because he was a virgin with no confidence around women. He says his life was miserable because of his lack of sexual experience, which he thinks results from shyness. "It also made me think of myself as worthless," he explains.
I once dated and fell in love with a lovely girl who seemed to be attracted to me. I remember her writing to me to make the first move sexually, but I didn't have a clue what to do, so I made up some weak excuse and went home. I once read about the Mughal era in India, where they would send young boys to specialised prostitutes who would educate them in the art of love-making. I remember wishing something like that had been available to me."
To date, Alan's had three sessions with Padma. She has talked to him about relationships and female anatomy; and introduced sensual touching into their meetings. " A session usually starts with Padma explaining the theory behind the exercise," he says, "then we move on the physical acts. In one session, we covered the naked body, hugs and sensual touching of the back.
I had a breakthrough moment during the massage exercise, when at first I went into panic mode, worried about my performance. We stopped and did some grounding-breathing exercises then tried again, and I enjoyed it." Alan says his confidence has grown immeasurably, and he is now so optimistic about the future that he has signed up to a dating website-something he would previously have been too nervous to do.
As to be expected, some goody-two-shoes are turning up their nose at sexual surrogacy despite the veneer of clinical respectability. They see it as a deeply controversial practice. Critics, perhaps understandingly, have dismissed it as morally reprehensible, degrading, and, at the very least, of dubious therapeutic benefit.
Some have even questioned its legality, although there are no laws specifically prohibiting it. Sexual surrogacy may sound a bit suspect but it is based on the clinical work carried out in the 50s by sex researchers: William H. Master and Virginia E. Johnson, who embarked on an 11-year study involving 510 married couples, 54 single men and three single women. They recruited 54 carefully-screened women volunteers to work as surrogate partners with the singles.
Before then, sexual problems were treated by psychotherapy or psychoanalysis, with Masters and Johnson developed a two-week treatment programme they claimed was 80 per cent effective. The success rate for the single men who worked with surrogates was 75 per cent. In this neck of the woods, a lot of you guys have confessed you would for ever be grateful to older women in your village, most of whom were second or fifth wives, who put you through your paces when they deemed you ripe for the picking.
A lot of you have nostalgic tales to tell of how such women, your dads' native wives inclusive, blew your brains out with raw sexual ncounters. Now that sexual surrogacy is a possibility, both partners could benefit immensely with no guilt feelings. "To the ceptics", says Padma who's made a tidy sum from her' consultancy', "I would say that it is giving me a chance to have a life I could only dream of -and what's wrong with that?"

Is Internet Sensation "Walmart Yodeling Kid" Saving Country Music?
Mason Ramsey performance at Grand Ole Opry
Keeping up on the trends on the internet can be daunting, but it would be difficult to miss 11-year-old kid yodeler Mason Ramsey who has become something of yodeling sensation.
The affectionately named "Walmart Yodeling Kid" became an internet sensation when a passerby just so happened to videotape the boy singing Lovesick Blues by Hank Williams Sr. inside of a local Walmart.
The video then went viral and now has over 29 million views on youtube and eventually reached its way across all social media.
However, this isn't Mason Ramsey's first performance, he has been a local sensation in his hometown in Golconda, Illinois by performing publicly since he was 3 years old.
Now Mason Ramsey has performed in front of some of the biggest crowds of his life at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California and The Ellen Degeneres Show, as well as being able to live his dream by performing at The Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee.
Recently, on Thursday, April 26, 2018, Mason Ramsey released his first original song Famous. Since the day it was published, the lyric video has acquired over 4 million views on YouTube and sparked many great reviews from the media as it being "catchy" and being "One of the only country songs I enjoy listening to", not only that but he has also signed a record deal with Atlantic Records and Nashville-based Big Loud Records, making his dream as a country music star come to life.
Since Ramsey's rise to fame, streaming of the original recording of Hank Williams Sr. Lovesick Blues has gone up by about 2,452% between March 26th to April 9th, according to Fader Magazine.
His recognition has shed new light on country music, what is thought to be a "dying" genre among the younger audience of music listeners.
Ramsey is also very different compared to other kid internet sensations that have been popping up like 9-year-old "Lil Tay" who is mainly popular for being disrespectful and acting out inappropriately on social media.
Mason Ramsey, however, seems to come from humble beginnings and has been working on his dream to becoming a famous country singer his whole life and that work has certainly paid off as his talent is now being recognized by millions across the globe.
Hopefully, the "Walmart Yodeling Kid" paves a new path for other young aspiring musicians to have the courage to step out and let their voices be heard.

decrease moves based on score
hello everyone
so i bought the squares template and im working around with it
so i figured ill make levels and have different number of moves in each level
so basically i figured the only way to detect number of moves is based on the score
but the score doesnt only change by +1 its +1 on for each square that is matched so if its 4 its +4 if its 5 its +5 and so on
so when i put it in a rule the moves was decreased exactly by the number of score which is what i did basically
how do i make it so that when the score changes but not by specific number just the fact the it changed meaning the player did make a successful move, the number of moves decreases?
i hope you understood
Hi Rawan,
You are welcome to continue to the email message you started in August. (I imagine its the same project)
There are a few ways in which you can add in moves. The following is the most simple.
You will need to create a new actor.
In this actor, you will need to the following rule:
When touch.count = 0
When game.Count >= 2
Then change Moves (Attribute) to minus 1.
Then create a new seperate rule.
When Touch.Count = 0
Add a timer in, set to "After" a value of 0.06
Inside the behaviour, you will need a change attribute behaviour and change the game.Count attribute to a value of zero.
What is happening, is that the squares will not be removed until there is no touches on the screen. (Touch count = 0)
And the squares will only disappear/fall when there is 2 or more squares selected.
(Game.Count >= 2)
Hope that helps.
didnt work i think i did something wrong
i sent a photo of the rules
In your rule, it says every instead of After.
Perhaps that is the issue.
If it doesn't work then, I will send you over my file.
@Two.E said:
In your rule, it says every instead of After.
Perhaps that is the issue.
If it doesn't work then, I will send you over my file.
it didnt work, thank you that would be great

With CybSafe, your people become another line of defence
Monitor, record and build your human cyber resilience.
Measure, report and reduce your human cyber risk.
Gain insights. Educate people. Change behaviours and culture.
CybSafe addresses every area of the human aspect of cyber security,
repositioning your people as a powerful cyber defence.
To see how it works, book an online demonstration.
Why use CybSafe?
Social engineering
Cyber criminals are increasingly choosing social engineering as their attack of choice, constantly launching schemes designed to exploit innate human biases. Today, phishing attacks alone trigger breaches amongst 25.6% of all UK businesses.
CybSafe content is designed and developed in collaboration with psychologists and behavioural scientists. Content highlights and then builds defences around the human biases criminals exploit. CybSafe explains who, what and when to trust across a broad range of social engineering topics – not just phishing.
Data and science-based risk mitigation
At CybSafe, we want to revolutionise the human aspect of cyber security, and we believe psychology, data, science and cognitive computing technologies all help to do so.
CybSafe's metrics, risk indicators and awareness techniques are developed in line with scientifically-proven principles and trigger quantifiable results.
Global organisations use CybSafe for data and science-based risk mitigation.
Risk reporting
You cannot demonstrably reduce cyber risk without first quantifying it. CybSafe continuously measures and monitors the security awareness, security behaviours and the security culture of your organisation.
Intelligent reporting metrics, risk indicators and analytics make it easy for boards, managers and senior leaders to understand risk and determine what must be done to address vulnerabilities.
CybSafe's automatic security interventions respond to changing metrics, ensuring the human aspect of your security continuously improves.
User engagement
Poor user engagement rates forever threaten the efficacy of security awareness programs. To meaningfully reduce cyber risk, it's essential everyone's security awareness, behaviours and attitudes progress.
CybSafe's AI-machine learning and NLP technologies personalise content to individuals, presenting users with the right information at the right time in the right way. The use of story makes subjects intriguing and easy to recall.
CybSafe is a collaborative platform through which you can engage staff to generate an interest in, and a sense of personal responsibility for, cyber security.
Behavioural change
Traditional security awareness campaigns fail to reduce risk for one simple reason: they focus on security awareness only.
To reduce cyber risk, security awareness campaigns must influence individual awareness, people's behaviour and organisational culture in tandem.
CybSafe's security awareness training is developed and constantly updated in collaboration with leading psychologists and behavioural scientists. It delves beyond security awareness to reveal how people behave online – and why. Unique security interventions delivering lasting behaviour change and a meaningful cyber risk reduction.
Attack simulation
By revealing little more than the individuals who misdiagnose simulated attacks, traditional simulated attacks fall short.
CybSafe's intelligent attack simulations aren't designed to catch people out. Instead, they're built to reinforce knowledge transfer and provide useful context. As well as revealing the individuals and teams who misdiagnose simulated attacks, they reveal the underlying causes of misdiagnoses. In doing so, CybSafe's intelligent attack simulations reveal the true vulnerabilities in your human cyber defence.
Phishing, Smishing (SMS Phishing), USB stick drops and more can all be learning aids.
Ambassadors & digital champions
The CybSafe platform is about more than just providing learning content. Rich datasets highlight current levels of security awareness and the platform enables administrators, security ambassadors and individuals to connect, share and communicate organisation-wide.
Combined, the two features allow security ambassadors to nurture your human cyber defence and develop a culture of security within your organisation. CybSafe facilitates and supports cyber ambassador and digital champion initiatives.
Digital Well-Being
Your people have a life outside of work. Their omnipresent security attitudes and habits follow them into the office – which is just one of the reasons security programmes need to keep people safe in all aspects of their lives.
Aside from being good for society as a whole, keeping people safe in all aspects of their lives strengthens and deepens corporate defences.
The people investment can't be underestimated. CybSafe bolsters digital well-being in every aspect of people's lives.
Accredited training
Content quality is assured through GCHQ and IISP accreditation. Each user receives a CybSafe Certificate in Cyber Awareness (CCSA) on training completion and CybSafe attracts CPD credits.
In 2017, CybSafe research found that 44% of SMEs were required as part of contracts with enterprise customers to enlist cyber security precautions of a recognised standard such as ISO 27001.
CybSafe's accredited training enables both security and sales.
GDPR awareness training
GDPR and general data privacy and protection continue to be topics at the forefront of minds. Both topics are often misunderstood.
CybSafe breaks data privacy down into its raw components, injecting GDPR with a new lease of life. The platform encourages individuals to think beyond compliance, simultaneously increasing your data security and reducing your cyber risk.
Virtual cyber assistance
The CybSafe platform offers people virtual cyber assistance at all times. When people have cyber security questions or face security dilemmas in their day-to-day roles, CybSafe can transform decisions that might introduce cyber risk into decisions that in fact mitigate cyber risk.
As well as being cloud-based and accessible from anywhere, CybSafe allows users to request cyber assistance on the fly. Better still, the platform launches automated and personalised security interventions in response to triggers that introduce cyber risk – such as the use of weak passphrases, or detected user disengagement.
Cyber security culture
Experts increasingly agree that a people-centric security culture is a critical component of human cyber resilience. Through a unique focus on data, metrics, measurement and insight, CybSafe helps you develop a people-centric cyber security culture.
The in-built CybSafe Culture Assessment Tool (C-CAT) measures people-centric security culture across seven key dimensions scientifically proven to predict human cyber risk and behaviour.
C-CAT quantifies people's attitudes towards cyber security. It allows you to compare your culture against industry benchmarks. Finally, it generates personalised recommendations for nurturing a culture of security in your organisation.
Unintentional insider threats
With CybSafe, you can see, address and mitigate unintentional insider threats, ensuring your people are not a "vulnerability", but are instead a cyber defence.
Several of CybSafe's unique, data-driven and scientifically proven security interventions combine to mitigate unintentional insider threats in cyber security. For example, personalised behaviour nudges realign insecure behaviours, virtual cyber assistance transforms risky actions into risk-mitigating actions and intelligent simulations provide unparalleled insight into the true drivers of people's behaviour.

Businesses, developers, and civic leaders are repurposing existing structures to celebrate history, attract tenants, and serve as a catalyst for future development.
In Flint, Mich., an 1895 brick structure considered the birthplace of the global auto industry has been reimagined as a community resource and showcase of the legacy of General Motors. Located on the city's riverfront, the former carriage-assembly building now houses offices, event space, a heritage center, and a research library with archives from Kettering University (formerly General Motors Institute).
SmithGroupJJR oversaw the restoration to help GM preserve its heritage with the city and spur economic development. "Across the country, we're seeing that the historic preservation and restoration of a single building can reenergize an entire urban district," says Lise Newman, AIA, SmithGroupJJR's Director of the Workplace Practice.
In Atlanta's Buckhead neighborhood, the former headquarters of lease-to-own retailer Aarons is being turned into the 309 East Paces Ferry office/retail complex. Former Aaron's CEO Robin Loudermilk partnered with developers Knox Properties and the Redan Group to redevelop the 11-story tower.

Balfour Beatty collaborated with architect Lyman Davidson Dooley to implement Lean construction and offsite fabrication of the building's exterior wall panels. "In a span of 25 working days, we clad the whole exterior, using a third of the workforce required by traditional construction," says Mike Macon, VP and Business Unit Leader at Balfour Beatty.
Shuttered retail spaces are also ripe for redevelopment. A former Borders bookstore in Omaha, Neb., was transformed into Do Space, a digital library and community education center. HDR worked with civic leaders to explore the library-of-the-future concept. "It's a community information hub, providing technology access to everyone for free," says HDR Design Principal David Lempke, AIA.

Title: The Origins, Present, and Future of Algorithmic Bias
Abstract: From Microsoft's racist chatbot to articles in Science, the issue of bias in algorithms has leaped from a corner of the HCI literature to one of the most prominent issues in computing. In this talk, I will first cover the research we did late last decade that helped establish the existence of modern algorithmic bias. Next, I will discuss more recent work that has examined algorithmic bias along an important but under-covered dimension: the urban-rural spectrum. Finally, I will highlight what I believe to be the single most important direction of future work in this space: mitigating the bias in who benefits financially from algorithms. In doing so, I will discuss our recent research that outlined a technological means by which the public could force a more equitable distribution of the profits generated by algorithms.
Biography: Dr. Brent Hecht is an assistant professor at Northwestern University with appointments in Computer Science and the School of Communication.

- DoodleHappy says: Fell in love with long distance running at High School when everyone else seemed to hate the cross country runs. I did my first half marathon at the age of 18 in Colchester and followed this with several shorter fun runs and another half marathon in Colchester the following year. My personal best for the Half Marathon was 1:35.
Anyway that was it for several years until in 2006 I underwent major open surgery on my left kidney. As part of my recovery I decided to get back into running and despite being told recovery would take at least 6 months I managed my first half marathon in over 14 years after only 9 weeks training. And the time? a very respectable 1:57.
I have to confess I haven't run since but I've now been accepted for the 2010 London Marathon so the training is starting all over again. And the goal? To do it in under 4 hours. You can sponsor me by making a donation to LEPRA by vsiting www.justgiving.com/barryhammick
- Clatters says: 4th London coming up - and for once I'm training for it properly. Previous times of 4.48, 5.15 and 4.44 without training - I reckon I can do sub-4 ...... Can I !???!!!
- Fat Jase says: Doing my 1st one this year and really hope to go under 4hrs!! I suffer with cramp very badly on my Half Marathons so hoping the the Full is a possible!!
- Wriggling Snake says: I think I might be able to get this time, 1:47 last half, maybe, just maybe.....

So this means private car parks, for example the factory shop car park, will be even more crowded for the residents that live in the block of flats and the shoppers that go there on a regular basis

ALL car parks in the town centre will begin charging for parking on Sundays as Wiltshire Council announced that charges will be 70p per visit, with the implementation of the new charges due this summer.
Wiltshire Council says that it was necessary to address the financial pressures faced by the council's parking services and to help support local bus services. It was approved on Tuesday 30th January and the council says the majority of people and organisations agreed to the proposals set out in a consultation last year.
Wiltshire Council says, "While respondents weren't in favour of reducing the parking 'grace' period from 15 minutes to 10 minutes, options which have been agreed are: Introduce Sunday and Bank/ Public Holiday charging at most car parks. Charge in majority of Wiltshire Council car parks. Move the free event parking offer in November and December to other times of the year. Base season ticket prices on the standard day rate charges. Harmonise residents' parking permit charges on a two- tier basis.
It was also announced last month that an inflationary increase will be applied to all parking charges from 1st February. Wiltshire Council says, "This was after 63% of those who responded supported the rise.
"There were around 1,400 responses to the consultation into a review of car parking charges in Wiltshire, aiming to help minimise the impact of funding challenges on public transport and other services.
"The changes will also fund investment in customer service – including automatic number plate recognition for residents' parking zones, static cameras outside schools to improve safety and body worn cameras."
Bridget Wayman, Wiltshire Council cabinet member for highways and transport said, "I'd like to thank everyone who took the time to respond to this important consultation, it really has helped us decide on how we charge for parking going forward.
"Parking charges have not been increased through an inflation uplift since 2011 and the cost of operating car parks and public transport is continuing to rise. Along with the increasing demand on our budget, we have introduced new charges to mitigate some service reductions.
"I am also grateful for the other funding opportunities suggested by those who responded to the consultation on the proposals."
There will be a further period of consultation later in the year. Despite an increase in charges for two hours and up, the charges for up to an hour remains the same. Bath Road and Church Street remains at 40p, whilst King Street, Lowbourne and Union Street remain at 30p.
So this means private car parks, for example the factory shop car park, will be even more crowded for the residents that live in the block of flats and the shoppers that go there on a regular basis

Indian markets regulator SEBI is looking at a major relaxation in its rules that will allow global sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) to acquire a much larger stake in a local public listed firm without triggering a clause that mandates an open offer to general shareholders of the rest of the company.
SEBI may change its takeover norms for stock exchange listed firm and allow SWFs to buy upto 20 per cent stake without having to make an open offer. Current norms calls for compulsory open offer to purchase an additional 20 per cent stake if an acquirer (except banks and financial institutions like LIC) acquires 15 per cent or more in a listed firm.
Though the relaxation will be subject to other conditions such as the equity purchase does not lead to change in control (that is possible in firms where existing promoters own less than 20 per cent or the firm has a fairly diversified holding structure being essentially a professionally managed firm), it will open up new funding opportunities for Indian listed firms, both already having SWFs as shareholders and others looking at large fund raising.
Another change being considered is counting multiple SWFs from a country as separate investors which can potentially allow, for instance, two SWFs from a country to together own as much as 40% in a listed company. The idea behind this change is that these funds use multiple investment vehicles, which may differ in terms of investment objective and structure.
In the past this rule had been a bone of contention creating roadblocks for investments by Temasek and GIC in India's largest private lender ICICI Bank.
An important rider is that the change in rules is expected to apply to SWFs of countries with whom India has a Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (CECA), atleast to begin with. At present India has such an agreement with just two nation Singapore and South Korea, though it is in the process of implementing a similar deal with Malaysia and Japan.
Negotiations are on with countries in European Union, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Indonesia and Israel for a CECA.
Media reports said, SEBI will be considering the proposed changes in its board meeting next Monday, adding that the market regulator will approve of such exemptions on a 'case-by-case' basis.
The clear beneficiaries of the new norms would be Singapore's SWFs – GIC and Temasek Holdings, the most active SWFs in India.
GIC that opened its ninth global office and its first in India in Mumbai few weeks ago, has investments in more than a dozen Indian companies such as ICICI Bank, Infosys, Tata Motors DVR, Indiabulls Real Estate, Anant Raj Inds, United Phosphorous, Subex, VA Tech Wabag, Prestige Estate Projects and ICSA.
Temasek has investments in ICICI Bank, Bharti Airtel, Bharti Infratel, Tata Sky, Tata Tele among others firms. It had last year struck deals aggregating almost half a billion dollars in Indian firms such as GMR Energy, National Stock Exchange, Max India, Sobha Developers and Lodha Group.
Another key beneficiary could be a firm like Malaysia's Khazanah that owns 12% stake in India's largest healthcare firm Apollo Hospitals. Although existing norms does not allow it to raise its holding more than 15% without triggering an open offer, if Apollo Hospitals goes for a large fund raising it could consider bringing in large chunk of fresh money from Khazanah. Khazanah also has investments in firms such as IDFC and Yes Bank.
Other prominent SWFs active in India include funds operated by emirate of Abu Dhabi (UAE) operating the world's largest SWF besides fund from Norway among others.
The new proposed rules would also open up opportunities for SWFs from other countries to look at India as an investment option.

This is good to know. I have tried everything from Burt's Bees but way too oily. I've tried every product too at Whole Foods. I do the at home facial with the Riiviva Microdermabrasion tool for my acne scarring and it's terrific. It's here at http://www.riiviva.com.
Do you have any recommendations of what would work to moisturize without all the oily residue that happens when I use oils? Thanks!

Entrepreneurship to Automotives
PROVO, Utah – Oct 10, 2018 – BYU Marriott alum Caleb Wagner was sitting in an executive technology lecture series when he realized something that would change his future. As he listened to a number of entrepreneurs talk about how they made their businesses, he decided that his young age wouldn't stop him from doing the same.
"I realized that if these lecturers could make their own businesses, there was no reason that I shouldn't try to start one myself," he says.
After changing his focus from finance to entrepreneurship, Wagner applied to the BYU Marriott entrepreneurship program and received acceptance in summer 2016. He spent the rest of his time in the program trying to develop a business plan that would offer a necessary service and that would be successful.
After doing extensive research in the auto mechanic field, Wagner and a friend decided this was where they wanted to make a difference. In their first business attempt, they tried to create a product that would give the customer access to a number of quotes for damaged vehicles to ensure confidence in the diagnosis.
Though they found positive response from consumers, there was less of a need or want for the product from mechanics. It was after this failed business attempt that Wagner realized the importance of failing fast, failing early, and creating a business based on providing a solution to a specific issue. "Thanks to great faculty in the program, I learned the importance of finding a real problem, coming up with a solution, and then building a business around the solution," he says.
Wagner spent the next few weeks shadowing employees at a variety of mechanic shops to see if there were any issues that needed a solution. He learned that a number of customers would come pick up their vehicles from an auto shop and notice scratches or dents in their car that they believed might have happened at the shop.
Wagner's solution to the problem was to build a camera system that records all angles of a car while entering the bay at an auto shop. By doing so, mechanics would have footage of how every inch of the car looked prior to any work being done.
Wagner put together a prototype system and took it around to fifteen different mechanic shops. Over eighty percent of the mechanics he spoke with said they were interested in investing in the hardware and software immediately.
"We were excited about the response we received," he says. "After talking to the shops, we built the first model, including a rough version of the software, and then installed everything for the first customer."
Now the company has a name, BayWatch Technologies, as well as twenty-four auto mechanic shops waiting for installation. By December, Wagner wants to have his product installed in at least eighty shops. "My overall goal is to create a business that delivers long-term value to our customers and our investors," he says. "If that turns into a profitable business that provides meaningful employment, I'll be very happy."
In addition to the lessons he learned from the entrepreneurship program, Wagner believes his experience in one class had the biggest impact on his path to creating a business. "Had I not had the opportunity to go to those lecture series and lean on the confidence of those entrepreneurs, I don't know if I would have made the jump to starting my own business as early as I did," he says.

By now, it's impossible that you haven't heard the news from so many sources, including Linden Lab®'s own blog post on the subject. I would like to apologise in advance for not quoting all sources; so many people wrote from so many different viewpoints, and they all have thoroughly argued and discussed of what possibly might have been Linden Lab's fiasco in dealing with their volunteer crowdsourcing effort on SL5B.
Let's go back in history a bit. When the Second Life® world was young — with less than 15,000 active users — Linden Lab thought it would be nice to commemorate their first birthday (mostly to pat themselves on their collective backs and say: "hooray, after a year, we're still around!" which, for a startup with an insane idea, was definitely an achievement). In those days, Linden Lab viewed themselves as the "community managers" — mostly spreading around good ideas, having their employees coordinate community efforts, spending some of their money in resources and (minor) promotion. The idea was "Lindens and Residents working together for the common good". When you have a few thousand similarly-aligned people, this is easy. Also, when you're not paranoid about the increased Puritanism in your society — LL was open-minded, true to their Californian spirit — that was also easy to promote. And promote it they did.
Linden Lab runs at least three major "festivals" in Second Life. One is the Anniversary in June; the other is Burning Life, usually in September; and finally the Winter Festivals. There might be a few others, but these were the ones attracting most of the attention — both in-world, but also from the media. And for those, at least in 2004/5, Linden Lab followed the model of what their so-called alleged competitors are still doing: the company behind Second Life is the company managing the Big Events™. Badly or not, they were LL-promoted.| | | Next → |

Hey lovelies, hope y'all been great, been awesome too,no more mouth Ulcers yay.
So last week i visited the corniche beach and i really had an amazing time,it had been so long since i went beaching due to my busy schedule and procrastination. Anyone that can relate?
Watch "Day out at the Corniche Beach" on YouTube
So as i was sleeping in my bed,wondering how to spend my morning,then all of a sudden a thought of going to the beach came to my mind!!! And i wondered how i would go to the beach alone without my bae or friends( since we have different work shifts)…awkward right! I thought so too hmmm.
After a long fight with my inner soul trying to force my self to sleep but all in vain, at 10:00am, i decided to have my alone time this time at the beach to take photos and videos of this beaitiful beach and since i had free transport(our work shuttles pass by the beach to work) so i had to get into the bus to face my fears of beaching alone(scared lol).
I wore my little white beach dress,strappy sandals and my cute shades not forgetting my yellow cross bag and red cardigan. I felt so comfortable in this look.
I had a great time,made lots of friends and then later came back for a little rest then went to church afterwards. And thats how my day went.
Moral of the day; As long as it makes you happy, go for it,face your fears and make your self happy for once…not all the time,you have to go with the crowd to have a social life. Be spontaneous.
Are you the spontaneous type who just go out of your way to do something that makes you happy without having planned for it earlier? Let me know in the comments section below.
Lets connect
Thank you for stopping by

I've been a console gamer for the last 20+ years but I have always envied the PC games with their better graphics and better controls. When I finally bought a house with room for a desk, I convinced my wife that we needed a computer and that I needed to build it. I spent most nights trying to absorb as much information as I possibly could and watched just about every YouTube video out there. The Punisher theme came to me because a) he's my favorite and b) it suited my black and white build.
I was really surprised at how easy the whole build process was. I was worried that I was in over my head, but as long as you take your time, read the instructions, its simple. The hardest part of the entire build? CABLE MANAGEMENT. I feel like I spent an hour doing it and behind the motherboard still looks awful... I'm working on cleaning it up.
Part Reviews
Great CPU for the price (I got it cheaper from Micro Center). I went with an i7 here because I wanted to future proof my build a bit and a K because I will be overclocking.
CPU Cooler
It fit the black and white theme of my build more than anything, so I figured I'd give it a try. Can't say enough good things about it. Keeps my CPU ice cold and is completely silent so a no brainer 5 star review here.
I originally bought the NZXT Kraken x61, but that night they released their new line of AIO coolers so I returned it and will await the reviews the new guys. I like the looks of AIO coolers and it will allow me to showcase the GPU cover a bit better.
I wanted a motherboard that wasn't black and red, so I went with this guy. The added aura lighting is a nice bonus but I already turned it off for now.
Runs at 3200 once you switch it over in the bios and is lightening fast. Matches my build perfectly and looks FANTASTIC.
Will be adding another one of these eventually, but for now this guy fits the bill perfectly.
Video Card
This was the first part of my build I decided on and I couldn't be happier. Looks great, runs silent and crushes everything I throw at it in 2k. 120+ frames on BF1 on all ultra settings. Couldn't be happier.
This was the hardest part of the build to choose. I had the NZXT s340 Elite preordered, but the ship date kept getting pushed back. I canceled that and spent 3 straight days agonizing over what case to get. I wanted a square black box with a window and finally settled on this case. I absolutely love it. The fan controller feature is awesome, the LEDs look great and this case is near silent. As a first time builder, I appreciated how easy it was to build in. My only gripe was the instructions that came with the case, but I found some better ones on the Phanteks website.
Power Supply
Overkill for now, but I wanted to make sure I had enough juice to run another 1080 FTW in SLI. This PSU is first class from top to bottom. Plenty of spare cables, nice packaging and a sweet bag to keep all the stuff you're not using in.
Operating System
Meh. Very ascetically pleasing, but the windows 10 anniversary update knocked out my wifi and screwed up a bunch of my drivers. Took forever to fix but I finally got everything worked out.
Wireless Network Adapter
Originally I purchased the AC55BT for its bluetooth capabilities and cheap price but I was getting TONS of packet loss and latency issues on BF1. I swapped it out for this guy which was significantly more expensive and lacked the bluetooth but fixed my packet loss. Highly recommend.
Love the feel of the keys and it looks cool, but two major complaints. 1) The software to change the RGB lighting on this thing suuuuuuuuucks. Clunky doesn't even begin to do it justice. 2) One of the "legs" that flips out in the back fell off somewhere for no reason and is gone which sucks because now it lays too flat for my liking
Cheaper mouse that fits my hand and doesn't have a million buttons on it. When it comes to a mouse, I subscribe to the "Keep It Simple Stupid" philosophy and this was perfect.

Lately, there have been a lot of political issues that I've felt strongly about, but out of fear of the reaction of those around me, I've kept my opinions off social media. I'm non-confrontational, a people-pleaser to a fault, so the idea that I could be a source of tension or discord in a relationship is terrifying to me. I've stood instead on my soapbox in my empty living room, ranting to myself and my husband and my God.
I can't anymore. This time, I'm too angry and too sad. This time, the feeling runs too deep.
I'm done with the silence, praying with the cries of my soul. Now, may the world hear my heart.
A few years ago, I started praying every time I sat in a low-lit theater, waiting for the previews to start: Please, God, don't let there be a shooting here tonight. God, please, please don't let me die during Zoolander 2.
I wasn't worried about ISIS or Radical Islam. I was terrified of the one-off white guy who snapped.
Now, my prayers have changed: Please, God, take me in a shooting by an American. And God, if I get to choose, let him be anything but Muslim. Show those who love me that anyone can cause terror. Teach my family and friends that Radical Islam is not synonymous with terrorism, but simply one — albeit effective — example of it. Use my life to open even one person's eyes to the idiocy of claiming an assault rifle is a weapon of defense, when the very name implies attack.
Take my life, Lord, that even one person's outlook may be changed.
And God, remind my family of your forgiveness. And if I die at the hands of a Radical Islamist, remind my father of the lesson he drilled into me since I was small: that he could be the only Jesus the Muslim community knows.
Remind my loved ones that Jesus represents love, and forgiveness, and acceptance. That as Christians, these are the traits we are called to show to the world. Jesus asks us to turn the other cheek, not turn our backs on the suffering, the sinning, the potential risks, the unworthy.
I, too, am unworthy. I, too, have held hate in my heart.
They call these attacks on America a jihad. Holy War. Well, I declare a Holy War, too. A challenge to those who follow Christ. A war fought by loving our enemies, doing good to those who hurt us without exception or conditions, without "if" or "unless." A war led by a Savior who cried for the children to come to him. My Jesus laid down his life when he could have fought back. My Jesus is disheartened by those who put the ease of gun ownership above common sense and the safety of our children. (Because we are all someone's children)
So use me, Lord, that even just one person may learn that hate breeds more hate. Only love conquers all.
And remind them, God, that Love chose to die. The victory does not go to the last man standing; it's in the peace that follows.
