We Indians love our Indo-Chinese cuisines to the hilt! 😜 I am no different….I am crazy for the all of them…😊
And Schezwan Sauce happens to be my favourite…ever since I first tasted it as a dip along with some Spring Rolls long back! I just fell in love with the fiery, tangy and the mild sweetness all at once!
I even started buying this sauce by a popular brand…however it was obviously full of synthetic preservatives & added colours. So not exactly the healthiest option. So I looked up a few recipes & found one which was perfect. It tastes fiery and absolutely lip-smacking! 😬😬😉
*Please note that I have used fresh red chillies as they are in season now. However, you can use dried chillies, just soak them in warm water for 1 hour & de-seed if you wish to reduce the heat. Then, continue with this recipe.
*We don't like a very chunky texture hence, I grind the ginger & garlic with the chillies. You can cook them with the onions.
Let's start the recipe..
Yield: approx 400 gms
Equipment: a wok, a ladle, measuring cups/ spoons.
200 gms chopped fresh red chillies (de-seed if needed)
1/4 cup chopped garlic
1/4 cup chopped ginger
5 tbsp oil
6 tbsp vinegar (I used Apple Cider vinegar, you can use any variety but avoid balsamic or a darker vinegar)
4 tbsp soy sauce (I used light soy)
2 tbsp ketchup (add more if you like it sweeter)
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 tsp cornstarch/ cornflour
salt to taste
Grind together chopped chillies, ginger & garlic using 2 tbsp of vinegar to a smooth paste. Set it aside.
Then, heat oil in the wok and sauté the onions until translucent. Next add the paste you have kept aside. Cook for 5-8 mins on low flame. Season with salt, add the remaining vinegar & the sauces too. Mix well. Then dilute cornstarch/ cornflour with 2 tbsp water & add it to the simmering sauce, keep stirring continuously for a few mins. Let the sauce again simmer for about 5 mins. That's it…turn off the heat and cool completely before storing in glass/ porcelain bottles.
It stays well in the refrigerator for at least 2 weeks although I have stored it for almost 45 days with no change in flavour & colour.
Serve it with any & every snacks 😜
Try this today…I promise, you won't be buying this anymore! 😉

Toyota Followed By Ford
IMAGE SOURCE: NHTSA Web site/ image of floor mat pressing on accelerator
Toyota's sudden acceleration problem is confirmed by research from the consumer group, Consumer Reports.
Looking at 6,000 complaints of unintended acceleration among all 2008 vehicles, the group finds that 41 percent of complaints filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) came from Toyota owners.
The second highest number of complaints for sudden acceleration came from Ford owners, which registered 28 percent of the complaints.
"What really stood out to me is – and this isn't I guess surprising — that Toyota is not the only one that has these problems," said Jeff Bartlett, deputy online autos editor for Consumer Reports.
Researchers found 128 complaints that posed a danger because they involved higher speeds. Toyota, Ford, and General Motors sell more cars than other makers, so their share of the market was taken into account.
With 23 percent of the market share, General Motors (GM) had only five complaints, reports the New York Times Wheels blog.
Among Toyota vehicles, Lexus had five complaints of sudden acceleration, while the remainder of the 47 complaints was spread among other Toyota models.
Chrysler, GM, Honda and Nissan combined were fewer than Toyotas. Ford had 36 complaints.
Bartlett says floor mats were not to blame in the consumer complaints. "There was something else outside of the cabin, that was causing the problem," he said.
What Consumers Can Do
Statistically speaking, Consumer Reports reminds consumers that the likelihood of experiencing sudden acceleration is low, but if applying the brakes does not stop a car, putting the vehicle in Neutral will stop the acceleration allowing you to pull to the side of the road.
Killing the engine during uncontrolled acceleration is not recommended says Consumer Reports, because you can also lose the power steering.
Practice shifting into Neutral in your own vehicle, the consumer group recommends.
Our mission is to seek the complete truth and provide a full and fair account of the events and issues that surround personal safety, accident prevention, and injury recovery. We are committed to serving the public with honesty and integrity in these efforts.

Old Tom and Madeline at their house on Portage Bay across from today's University of Washington campus. Old Tom was also known as Indian John or Cheshishon, so they are likely also Lake John Cheshiahud and Tleboletsa.
|Duwamish tribe leader
|Personal details
|Resting place
|Evergreen Washelli Memorial Park
|Sbeilsdot (or Lucy Annie); Tleboletsa (or Madeline)
|Daughter, Jennie (Janey)
|Lake John Cheshiahud, Chudups John, Old Tom, Indian John, Lake Union John, Cheshishon
Cheshiahud (also Cheslahud, Lake John Cheshiahud, or Chudups John) and his family on Lake Union, Seattle, Washington in the 1880s are, along with Princess Angeline, among the few late-19th century Dkhw'Duw'Absh (people of the Duwamish tribe) about whom a little is known. In the University of Washington (UW) Library image archives, he is called Chudups John or Lake Union John. His family were among the few of the Duwamish people who did not move from Seattle to the Port Madison Reservation or other reservations. They lived on Portage Bay, part of Lake Union, when a lyrical photo was taken around 1885.[1] According to the Duwamish Tribe, Lake John had a cabin and potato patch at the foot of Shelby Street (either West Montlake Park or Roanoke neighborhood, on Portage Bay—sources are not specific). A commemorative plaque of unknown reliability is said to exist at the eastern foot of Shelby. This land was given to him by Seattle pioneer David Denny or the property was purchased—see below.[2] Photographer Orion O. Denny recorded Old Tom and Madeline, ca. 1904, further noted in the UW Library archives as Madeline and Old John, also known as Indian John or Cheshishon, who had a house on Portage Bay in the 1900s, south of what is now the UW campus[3] although native people had been prohibited from residence in Seattle since the mid-1860s.[4]
Before conquest[edit]
His story is typical of the relatively few natives remaining in Seattle after proscription; the rest moved or died of diseases brought to the region by people of European descent.[5]
In 1854, E. A. Clark owned "a pretentious two-story frame building" near Henry Yesler's sawmill, which he called his "What-Cheer-House". The house was located on the southwest corner of what is now First Avenue South at Yesler Way, in the heart of today's Pioneer Square neighborhood. Although settlers were required to live on their claims for four years in order to receive title to them, many settlers whose claims were outside the growing village of Seattle maintained a second residence in town.
In 1852, John Harvey and E. A. Clark staked adjacent claims over the hill and across the valley on Clark's Prairie, the anthropogenic grassland of the Xacuabš (the People of the Large Lake), who are thought to have had a village of two longhouses—khwaac'ál'al, which housed tens of people[6] near a sacred place on adjacent Brighton Beach. These places are in what is now the Brighton neighborhood. (See also History of Seattle before white settlement.) With his new location in town (and the village dispossessed), Clark became the county auditor and a justice of the peace in 1855.
A traveler, James McCormick, was murdered on Lake Union in July, 1853, but the murder was not discovered until the following spring of 1854. Two Indians were lynched for the murder, and Clark led an angry mob that hoped to hang a third young Indian accused (and later acquitted) of being involved in the murder; Sheriff Carson Boren prevented the lynching. The young Indian who escaped Clark's noose was later known as Cheshiahud or "Lake John".
Legal real property by settlers did not begin until at least a pretense of agreement with natives was made with the 1859 ratification of the 1855 Treaty of Point Elliott.
In the fall and winter of 1855–1856, hostilities broke out between Indians urging resistance and the White American settlers, primarily over discontent with the Point Elliott Treaty and other treaties enacted by Governor Isaac Stevens in 1854–1855. These hostilities climaxed in the "Battle of Seattle" in January 1856. Hostile Indians including Yakamas and Klickiats from east of the Cascade mountains assembled on Lake Washington, led by Yakama Chief Kamiakim and si'ab Lescay (Chief Leschi), to stage an attack on Seattle. Many friendly Indians took refuge in town, including Cheshiahud. The settlers retreated to a blockhouse on Elliott Bay at the end of Cherry Street. Although the battle lasted only one day and had only two known fatalities, nearly every building in King County outside the village of Seattle was burned, including the cabin and outbuildings of John Harvey and E. A. Clark, and the dam on the Black River that had raised Lake Washington—the White population was in the hundreds at this time.
After the conquest[edit]
After the short war, Cheshiahud became a friend of David Denny and was sometimes known as Denny John. Cheshiahud married Sbeilsdot or Lucy Annie; as a widower, he married Tleboletsa or Madeline. He appears to have lived at sa'tsakaL (what is now Mercer Slough of Kelsey Creek, southwest Bellevue) in the 1870s, where they raised Jennie Davis (Janey Davis). The family later lived on the southwest lakeshore near or at SExt3i'tc1b (Bryn Mawr) until about 1880. He sold that property and bought land from David Denny, at the foot of Shelby Street on Portage Bay. Sbeilsdot died about 1885, but Cheshiahud lived for many years on Portage Bay with Tleboletsa. Their final years were spent in retirement at the Port Madison Reservation. In 1927, his daughter Jennie (Janey) provided a list of locations along Lake Washington that is a primary source of current knowledge about indigenous villages.[7] Cheshiahud is buried at Evergreen Washelli Memorial Park beside his first wife, Lucy.

Summer has ARRIVED, friends and I'm all about making the most of it, day and night. In fact, a hot new addition to my iPhone Notes app is indeed an offical Summer Bucket List.
Included in the mix of must-do activities for this season's steamy weather are:
- Hit a New York Yankees game or two (obvs!)
- Enjoy an outdoor movie screening during the Bryant Park Summer Film Festival (full schedule here!)
- Soak up sand, surf and the legendary Cyclone at Coney Island
- Spend some quality time poolside, and at the poker table at Atlantic City's new Revel Resort
But I digress...Outside of weekend adventures, most of my summertime fun will be of the post-work variety, be it indulging in an innocent lobster roll with friends or a spicy margarita with the girls. For THOSE occasions, it's imperative to lock down an easy look that can transition from day to night, a la yesterday's OOTD, seen above and snapped by my dear friend Sarah of Style It Online.
- First up,a simple yet sexy sleeveless dress a la this one from Forever 21 (similar florals here) goes work-appropriate with the addition of a cardigan or blazer (the lapel-free jacket seen above is Theory -other colors here.) Take off the jacket and loosen up - school's out!
- Make your day look Girls' Night Out-appropriate by swapping out a chic flat sandal for a sky high pair of wedges, like the Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent Luellas, seen above.
- As opposed to the Balenciaga Giant Covered City I'm toting, go hands free (it's not just for devices!) with an easy crossbody bag like the Donna Snake Sling Bag from Katherine Kwei.
- Slap on a bright, bright lipstick that says look at me - I love MAC Girl About Town, a blue-toned pink.
- Eschew a buttoned up bun or relaxed ponytail - hair down says that you're ready to play!
And speaking of hair...has anyone seen the new issue of Harper's Bazaar this month? You know, the one with gorgeous Kate Moss on the cover? I ask for fully selfish reasons, as I'm featured in a very exciting advertorial campaign for CLEAR Scalp & Hair Beauty Therapy, a new and fully amazing collection of haircare products, designed to give you your best hair ever, in preparation for your BEST NIGHT EVER.
As often discussed on site, my hair is my everything. Blame it on my astrological sign - the Leo is best known for her mane, after all - or perhaps my insane narcissim, but one of my beauty PRIORITIES is strong, healthy, touchable and beautiful hair, which CLEAR Scalp & Hair Beauty Therapy delivers, thanks to a formula focused first on scalp health.
If you want to chat hair and learn more about how to have the #BestNightEver, join me, Sydne Style and Fashion Style Beauty TODAY for a Twitter party with @ClearHair.

"There's no reason to invest in gold," said 'Betsy'
Jeff Clark
"There's no reason to invest in gold," said the finance editor of a major newspaper interviewing me. "If gold goes up because of inflation, then so does everything else, so why buy it? It's not really a good investment."
She was serious. Yes, she is a finance writer. And yes, it's a newspaper you've heard of.
I was so dumbfounded that I must have sounded like an infant struggling to form its first words when I attempted to counter this inane line of thinking. Tell me you're a deflationist, tell me the Fed will rescue us, tell me foreigners will keep buying our debt - but don't tell me that gold serves no purpose!
I tried to point out the exploding monetary base, the soaring debt, the failing economy - but it was readily apparent her mind was made up. The interview was over and she hung up.
It may sound vengeful, but I'm tempted to keep a list of people whom I could remind someday of their negative comments about gold. I'd put "Betsy" at the top. I probably would chicken out in the end, but right now it's a wonderful reminder of why we're not in a bull market mania yet. Besides, I think the odds are stacked in my favor that she'll someday be buying insanely inflated gold stocks from me. I'll have to thank her then.
But I can address Betsy's misunderstanding now, because part of what she said is correct: gold is not an investment. Gold's primary purpose is to preserve your purchasing power. Whether it be roaring inflation, or dollar debasement, or economic upheaval, or out-of-control government spending, it has been the absolute best form of protection throughout the history of mankind. And I can prove it.
Let's trace what an ounce of gold or silver - true money - has been able to purchase at various periods in history, and how it compares to today.
1979: Gold's average price that year was $306.68. This bought an average-priced full-size bed.
1963: A gallon of gasoline in America sold for 31 cents. This meant that 3 silver dimes could buy a gallon of gasoline. The total weight of silver in 3 silver dimes is .217 of an ounce.
600 AD: In the Middle East, a chicken at the time of Mohammad would cost a family one silver Dirham (3 grams).
Time of Christ: Under the Roman Empire, an ounce of gold purchased a Roman citizen his toga (suit), a leather belt, and a pair of sandals.
400 BC: Some scholars report that during the reign of King Nebuchadnezzar, an ounce of gold bought 350 loaves of bread.
1000 BC: King Solomon was known to have purchased many horses for his army. Historical records show he bought them in Egypt for 150 shekels of silver each. 150 shekels was about 55 troy ounces of silver.
Betsy, gold has characteristics no other matter on earth has...
Gold cannot be:
Gold cannot be destroyed by:
Gold doesn't need:
Gold has no:
Gold as metal is:
Gold as money is:
Gold is internationally accepted, lasts for thousands of years, and best of all, they aren't making any more of it.
Now, Betsy, are you sure there's no reason to buy gold?
As the editors at Casey Research have been saying over and over again: Buy Gold, buy silver, buy sound gold-related investments. Have a look at our newest publication and learn all about these investments in Casey's Gold & Resource Report, Click here now to learn more.

The scenes at examination hall were surprising as many students were seen without shirts, torn sleeves which looked bad. These are students not thief or criminals.
Physics- Very well balanced paper. Three to four questions were quite new in concept and were difficult to solve. Integer questions were the easiest. A score of 45+ will be a very good score.
Chemistry- Students liked this section the most and it appears from there reactions it was easier this time.
Mathematics- The initial reactions of the students suggested that they found this to be very tough though the analysis of teachers and last year toppers suggested that it was milder than last year.

It's true I haven't mentioned it here for a while, but that doesn't mean I've forgotten all about my quest for a khata. Over the past couple of weeks, I went and applied for – and got! – the Encumbrance Certificate. I can't tell you what it actually certifies, because it's in Kannada, but at least I have it. It wasn't difficult at all to get. One day I went and filled out a form (nothing complicated compared to the Property Tax form) and paid some money (for which I got a receipt). That took all of 20 minutes. I went back on the appointed date a week later to pick up the certificate. It was ready and waiting. That took all of five minutes. No waiting, no pestering, no hidden charges. Fantastic.
I ordered the draft for payment of the Khata fees and worked on the Khata application form – also not too daunting to an experienced form-filler like I was by now. Then last week I went back to the Ward office to submit the application. On my first attempt, Mr M wasn't there, and B told me to come back the next day. On my second attempt, Mr M was there; he took one look at my papers and told me it had to be submitted at the dreaded Mayo Hall. If you've already read about my recent experience at Mayo Hall, you'll know I was not thrilled to get this news.
However, what cannot be cured must be endured; or, to put it another way, if rape is inevitable, better sigh and get to it. So off I went today, application, supporting documents, and bank draft in hand, prepared for another "from-pillar-to-post" ordeal at Mayo Hall. To my surprise, it wasn't too bad. Or perhaps I've now managed to adjust my expectations to more realistic levels.
I reached just after 10.30. The office I'd been told to visit had one person already seated at his desk, meticulously drawing ruled lines on bits of paper and occasionally in a ledger or notebook. (By the way, 'Khata' literally translates to ledger or notebook, and also to the accounts kept in one – I think. In Karnataka, it is an all-important document which doesn't actually prove ownership of a property, but which everyone treats as though it does.)
In a few minutes, a woman appeared. She was quite helpful and told me, in English, to wait for a certain other gentleman who had access to the stamp that was required. Meanwhile, she checked my papers and asked me to get them notarised. By this time, I'd been waiting for half an hour or so already, and the required gentleman was expected any minute now. So I went to the appropriate section of Mayo Hall at top speed, nodded at the first tout who approached me, and showed him my papers.
"Eleven pages," he said.
"It's three documents," I replied indignantly. "How does number of pages matter?"
He nodded readily and said "Rs 300."
"Rs 100," I countered, firmly.
"Rs 200, special discount for you," he said, without flinching.
"Look. There are hundreds of others who will notarise this for me. Rs 100."'
"Rs 150, last offer," he said.
"Wait here," he said, taking my papers and walking off.
Nothing doing! I followed him to his desk, where, in ten minutes the eleven pages were signed, sealed, and stamped.
"Do you have the originals?" he asked.
"Of course," I said, nodding to my document case. I didn't offer to show them to him and he didn't ask.
I returned to the former office and waited another half hour. The lady took pity on me and offered to sign the receipt for me without stamping it. I hesitated, and the offer was quickly but graciously withdrawn. Damn. Maybe I should have taken her up on it.
After I'd completed about an hour waiting, one of the other officers came over to me and asked what I was waiting for. I told him. "Oh, I'm the case officer for that, I'll do it," he said promptly. And five minutes later, I was done.
Of course, I should have been pissed off that I was made to wait for some mythical person who apparently was not required for my work… but I was just happy that my futile waiting had been only about half an hour or so. If you can go to a government office, get your work done, and get out in an hour, I guess you should count yourself lucky.
The next step is to follow up with a name and a number written on the receipt. How long will it take to get the khata? I don't know – I was only told that there was a backlog of files pending from February, due to work having been held up because of election duties. So I wasn't given a date or anything – just a name and a mobile number.
If the kids hadn't already done their utmost to teach me patience, I don't think I could have made it this far.
This quest is something like a treasure hunt in the mist: you don't know where you're going, how you're going to get there, or what you're going to find there, and you can see only one step ahead at each stage; but you believe there's some treasure at the end of the road, whenever and wherever that might be.

School of Performing and Visual Arts Presents James Ackley
BOILING SPRINGS, N.C. – Gardner-Webb University's School of Performing and Visual Arts presents a Distinguished Artist Concert with James Ackley, professor of trumpet at the University of South Carolina (Columbia, S.C.) on Thursday, Jan. 30 at 8 p.m. in Blanton Auditorium, located in Hamrick Hall. The concert is free and open to the public with an optional donation to support the music program. Prior to the show, Ackley will visit with students in a GWU distinguished artist master class.
Ackley has performed with symphonies in Charleston, S.C., Charlotte, N.C., and Cincinnati, Ohio, as well as the Moscow State Radio Symphony. As a soloist and recitalist, he has performed in more than 30 countries and in some of the most heralded concert halls in the world. Ackley has also recorded several solo CDs, which have received critical acclaim.
Participating in the concert will be Gardner-Webb's own trumpet expert Tim Hudson, assistant professor of music. Hudson feels Ackley is an exceptional talent.
"James is one of the better trumpet players in the country," said Hudson. "During this concert both of us will perform solo sessions, as well as a duet. His session will include a new piece that was specifically written for the International Trumpet Guild."
Hudson will return the favor when he visits USC to speak in a master class for students and performs a public concert in the weeks to come.
Ackley and Hudson also serve as a Yamaha Performing Artists for the Carolinas. "Yamaha develops a wide variety of musical instruments, offers music education programs, and provides music advocacy and research programs. Yamaha Performing Artists endorse the company's products at clinics, concerts and other events."
More information about the School of Performing and Visual Arts music division is available at 704-406-4453.
Located in Boiling Springs, N.C., Gardner-Webb University's purpose is to advance the Kingdom of God through Christian higher education by preparing graduates for professional and personal success, instilling in them a deep commitment to service and leadership, and equipping them for well-rounded lives of lasting impact, Pro Deo et Humanitate (For God and Humanity).

I have some photos for you, dear readers, because we took a day trip to Bistra Castle, which houses the Technical Museum of Slovenia. The castle was apparently founded in the 13th century by Carthusian monks!
The castle has very pretty grounds complete with a river spring that powered their mills, an artificial pond overgrown with algae so it looks even more romantic (and it has ducks!) and an avenue of trees.
We had a snack on a shaded park bench, wandered around the halls featuring crafts like woodworking and blacksmithing, and admired cars made long before we were born.
There's something steampunkish to these old machines, don't you agree? I pretended they were used for much cooler stuff than paving roads or pulling train carriages. What would be the use for these two, do you think?
Several years ago, we visited the Munich Technological Museum, which is so huge you can't get through all the collections in one day. This one was much more manageable and even Kiddo admired the machines (making brrm-brrm sounds and pointing with his chubby fingers) and didn't get annoyed at all.
I made A. take a picture of me here because I thought it was the most beautiful path I'd seen in a while. There's something serene in the ivy- and moss-covered tree trunks and the light was nice. (Can you see that I cut my hair? It's quite short now!)
Did you know magnolias made such freaky fruits? I Googled "magnolia fruit" and came up with even more interesting results but I was very surprised by this bulbous thingy. My grandparents (and my mother-in-law) have a magnolia bush in their garden but it never made this.
See? Very pretty. I think we'll be returning here for more strolls and perhaps a picnic once Kiddo is older and able to walk on his own (and once he's old enough to understand he's not supposed to touch the exhibits… that might take a while). The following photo, I think, shows the best view we encountered. I heard people get married here, which must be magical.
If you'd like to see more castles we visited, try this and this and this!
Do you have a favourite museum? Is it technical or artsy?
Do you prefer day trips or long vacations?
I'd love to hear from you! :)

Round 5 is at it again, releasing an all-new line of their trendy MMA action figures. The new line, called the Titan Series, is imaginative and playful in its approach. The figures, including this Randy Couture action figure, are an inch shorter than their Ultimate Collection Series, with all-vinyl construction and oversized heads. "The Natural" is presented in red Round 5 fight shorts. He is standing in his signature victory pose, which we fight fans are more than familiar with when it comes to the popular Hall of Famer. With Couture's recent retirement after a knockout loss to fellow former Light Heavyweight champion Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida, now is a great time to give "The Natural" a permanent spot on your shelf. As a former Light Heavyweight and Heavyweight champion, and a Hall of Fame inductee, the Randy Couture action figure is the perfect addition to the legends that are included with this first set of Titan Series figures. Strategically released right before the 2011 holiday season, these action figures are flying off the shelves; get one while you can!

An Albany County 4-H'er won the Catch-A-Calf competition last week at the National Western Stock Show in Denver, and nine other 4-H'ers from across Wyoming will receive calves for the 2019-2020 competition
Kara Reynolds of Laramie and her market steer entry topped 40 other 4-H'ers and entries from Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska and Wyoming.
Reynolds attends Laramie High School and is the daughter of Sherry and Dan Reynolds of Laramie. She is a member of the Critter Creek 4-H Club. This is the second consecutive year a 4-H'er from the club has won the competition.
"I would say she is probably the hardest working young woman I know," said Mary Louise Wood, Albany County 4-H educator. The 4-H program is part of the University of Wyoming Extension. "She worked every day with that calf and took it to the Wyoming and Colorado state fairs and the NILE (Northern International Livestock Expo) in Montana."

Using rag-rug techniques for artwork for walls and elsewhere - sometimes even for on the floor
28 April 2012
we cared not about the rain...
This beautiful piece of Kantha stitched silk shows a tiny detail of Margaret's scarf which she wore today.
It also reminds me of a wonderful day spent at Janet's house with fellow rug hookers.
Janet also presented us with a great lunch...THANK YOU...
...it may have rained all day but little did we care!
Meeting Jesse for the first time and seeing Susana again was a bonus.
See you all at the June meeting - Jill

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — About 400 roads and bridges across South Carolina remain closed as crews continue to assess damage caused by flooding.
The Emergency Management Division says about two dozen shelters remained open across the state as of Wednesday night.
Officials say electricity has been restored to all but about 200 customers.
A nearly 15-mile stretch of Interstate 95 remains closed between Interstates 20 and 26.
A historic storm that dumped nearly 2 feet of rain onto central South Carolina last weekend left the Black and Pocotaligo rivers overflowing with fast-moving water, meaning inspectors haven't been able to eyeball the underside of bridges over the waterways.

This CNBC reporter correctly exposes the severe shortage in physical silver but incorrectly attributes it to soaring demand from "mom and pop" investors, as if we're somehow unsophisticated, misguided hayseeds who fell off the turnip truck. She knows nothing of the bifurcation of COMEX paper silver prices and physical silver pricing, which are carrying huge premiums above spot price. There is a reason why premiums are soaring. Get a clue, Marcy.
Or maybe she does know what's going on, but is paid to publish misinformation.

The National Examinations Committee of West Africa Examinations Council on Thursday said it had cancelled results of candidates involved in examination malpractice at the 2014 examinations.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria, the WAEC Public Affairs Officer, Mr. Damianus Ojijeogu, made this known in a statement in Lagos.
The committee, he said, took the decision to cancel the results at its 59th meeting held in Lagos.
Ojijeogu said the committee reviewed a report on irregularity and special and clemency cases arising from the conduct of the May/June 2014 West African Senior School Certificate at the meeting.
The statement added that the committee considered a report on the conduct of the November/December 2014 WASSCE, including irregularity cases arising from the conduct of the examination.
It said, "In the course of considering the various reported cases of malpractice, the committee, after diligent deliberations, approved appropriate sanctions in all established cases of malpractice.
"This action is as prescribed by the rules and regulations governing the conduct of the council's examinations.
"It approved that the entire results of such candidates involved in proven cases be cancelled.
"The communiqué also recommended that the subjects' results of those involved in proven cases of malpractice be similarly cancelled.
"In addition, some candidates will also suffer other sanctions, such as barring them from sitting for the council's examinations for a certain number of years."
The statement said that the decisions of the committee would be implemented immediately.
It, however, said that the council would release results of candidates exonerated by the committee.
According to the communiqué, the committee's sanctions will also impose sanction on all the ad-hoc examination workers that condoned the malpractice.
"The committee has directed all the ad-hoc examination functionaries indicted of involvement or condoning malpractice during the conduct of the examination, be reported to appropriate state ministries of education.
"The ad-hoc examination functionaries, who participated during the November/December 2014 WASSCE, would also be reported to relevant bodies for disciplinary action.
"This will be in addition to the sanctions imposed on them by the council.
"The committee, as in previous meetings, strongly expressed concern at the alarming incidence of malpractice in examination and urged stakeholders to join hands in curbing the menace," it said.

North London's rapper One Acen has released the visuals to his latest project "GucciChanel" and it is looking like he is actually living his best life, as he has been saying it all summer.
One Acen had everyone put the audio on repeat as he launched it just a short while back and now he brings out the visuals. To show his appreciation to his listeners, One Acen played on the title of his song and took two lucky fans on a Gucci and Chanel shopping spree.
The garage influenced beat produced by CallMeTheKid sounds fun, with One Acen's signature flow sending off party vibes but overall just having a really chilled, smooth vibe. The visuals directed by Lx capture One Acen in various scenarios, with captions of the two big brands hinting to the song's message while also showing fellow artist Zion B, Hardy Caprio and Damn Shaq making an appearance. Zion B, Acen and the crew bring back the dance moves and it is looking wavy.
Definitely a good look for One Acen, GucciChanel is sounding really good. Make sure you watch the visuals out now and let us know what you think in the comment section.

Jeremy Bentham dismissed the 18th century equivalent of our notion of human rights as 'nonsense upon stilts'. That judgement may be a little harsh, but the notion of rights certainly is in trouble.
For a start there is the problem of 'rights inflation' whereby more and more supposed rights are added to the list, undermining the credibility of the concept.
Then there is the tendency to ascribe rights to people who can't understand the notion (e.g. infants, or the severely mentally disabled), and even to animals. It is at least questionable to speak of a being having a right who cannot understand that he or she has it and to whom it would be absurd to ascribe obligations. The case of infants and children deserves special treatment - they at least will in time assume understanding and obligations.
There is always the option of reverting to traditional ways of speaking, of course, and, for example, simply proscribing cruelty. We can be perfectly humane without rights talk!
Another problem with the rights notion is that it arose in a world with different belief-structures. Rights were seen to derive either from God (God-given rights) or from a metaphysical notion of Natural Law, which is not the same as the 'laws' of science but a transcendent moral system. For those who believe in God and/or something like a transcendent and morally-based Natural Law, the notion of universal human rights makes some sense - but there still remains the problem of knowing exactly what these rights are.
For those who don't believe in such a spiritual realm, human rights are even more problematic. What is their source?
One could say they arose historically and are a product of civilization, but the very fact that the notion has been debased by rights inflation etc. is an indication that other ways of talking about the issues in question are called for.
Rights talk, however, still has a place, but perhaps a less exalted one than has been fashionable. I suggest that it arises naturally from the implicit rules which govern human interaction. Queuing is a typical example. One has the right to be dealt with before someone who arrives later; they have no right to push in.
In the same way that rights arise from implicit rules of behavior, so, of course, they arise from explicit laws, regulations and legally-enforceable charters or bills of rights. The extent to which rights-specifying laws are well-grounded and respected are important issues, as is the possibility of unintended consequences, such as the rights assigned to one group infringing on the rights of another, or, in the case of bills of rights, the possibility that they may undermine rights that existed under the pre-existing legal status quo.
In general, negative rights (rights not to be interfered with) are less controversial than positive or benefit rights (rights to some good, e.g. food or education). The burdens on other members of the community are less onerous in the former case, though someone's right always entails someone else's obligation, as well as, arguably, (future) obligations on the holder of the right.
One (negative) right which is particularly interesting is the (multi-dimensional) right to privacy. Though culturally relative - there are huge differences in notions of privacy in different human societies - it is one right that is clearly applicable only to self-aware beings. Nobody advocates granting this right - so far as I know - to animals, and it applies only in a tenuous sense to human infants.

Hi Everyone,
It feels good to be back!
I haven't taken the time to sit down and write a very long post so I am pumped.
As you all know, I love love love makeup and transitioning to all cruelty-free was not easy at first.
Now, I have to say, I don't even question it anymore. Just like being full-time vegetarian (doing Veganuary right now), it does not even cross my mind to even look at something other than cruelty-free makeup.
I know I will probably sound cliche (right about now), but if there is one thing you can do to help in 2017: ditch fur and makeup products that have been tested on animals.
On to the fun stuff now.
I was looking for glitters online last year to avoid buying another eyeshadow palette.
Yes, there are tons of palettes that I wish I had right now but realistically, I only use three to four shades per palette. Unless there is a palette which I absolutely need to buy, I focus on buying either single shadows or glitter dust to switch it up a little bit.
I started with NYX Face&Body glitter in Red, Ice and Blue. I couldn't take pictures because I literally went through them so quickly (so I apologize).
The glitter looks gorgeous but did not stick to my eyelids with a normal primer which I found really annoying. I had to pack on concealer first for it to last.
Apparently, for Red and Blue to really pop, I need to use a black eyeshadow underneath. The thing is, I would give NYX glitter a second chance if this product was not such a nightmare to find. If you shop in central London like me, to give you an idea, I had to go to the huge Boots next to Picadilly Circus and even there, I could not find it.
So NYX glitter, you are gorgeous and I had to mention you but I hate the feeling of concealer on my eyelids (and I am tired of looking for you).
My favorite is definitely Barry M Fine Glitter Dust. I just bought three new ones because I can not get enough!
Honestly, they just look so good on anyone. The colors are warm and swatches beautifully, even with a brush (because we all know there is a difference between a finger and a brush swatch). I have to say, though, the black is the weakest color to apply compared to the ones I have personally tested.
I haven't used any filters for the swatches picture and my sister makeup. As you can see, the pink looks beautiful. Her makeup lasted all night and I have to mention that she is not fan of pink makeup (pink everything really).
They are £4.59 each and you can find them online or like me at Superdrugs.
Last but not least for my favorite glitters of 2016: 100% natural glitters from Aromazone.
I talked about this brand a hundred times before, especially for haircare (I will link everything at the end of the post), but basically, you can also make your own cosmetics.
So when I went to the store in December, I picked up three items:
- Poudre de Lumière (2€90)
- Poudre d'or (2€50)
- Natural glitters (2€50)
They had around 10 different shades of natural glitters but I pretty much already had all of them.
Poudre de Lumière is like a super fine brownish powder that slightly sparkles when it hits the light.
I have been mixing it with some coconut oil for my hair and body. I have also used it with my primer on New Years Eve. According to the website, it is meant to reduce poores, capture the light and keep your skin looking young and fresh.
For me, it does not have the same effect as a primer. It does not help with the pores at all. However, mixed with a moisturizer or my benefit primer, my skin looks glowly and healthy.
The second product from Aromazone is called Poudre d'or. This one is definitely up there. The color to me is just so different.
Both pictures were taken in front of my big window. All natural light, no filters and the swatch was on dry skin, without primer, with a brush (FYI).
I have used it as a highlighter and over a bright red lipstick. I honestly swear by it. It holds well and even better on top of another eyeshadow.
Natural glitters will blow your freaking mind if you ever get your hands on it.
I am so obsessed with it it is ridiculous. I usually think that I'll go for a more subtle eyelook and I always end up throwing some sparkles.
The picture below doesn't do this glitter justice at all. I will try to take more outside if I can and post them on Instagram.
I hope you liked this post. It was fun to do (it always is).
This post is not sponsored by the way. I know I talk about Aromazone a lot but I genuiely do like their products and I'll never hesitate to promote brands that are doing it right.
If you want to know more about everything I've talked about, I have included links down below.
I know I will probably have new favorites in 2017 but it was fun to look back and just select a few sparkly eyeshadows.
Lots of Kisses

We never meant to own a goose, but one morning after a particularly bad winter storm (think blizzard) we woke up to find a white goose honking around our farm yard. Just one. He was already full grown when he showed up, so we never did find out how old he was, but we had him for 18 years before he passed away, just this summer (2013)
You wouldn't think that a goose would have such a huge personality, but he did. I was a child when he showed up, and pretty much the only person he liked was my Mother. As Meredith Grey would say, she was his person.
Ferdinand would follow my Mother around the farmyard, hissing and honking at anyone else. If we got to close he would chase us with his wings spread out wide and bite us if he was fast enough. I was never particularly fond of him.
Over the years he got into various scrapes, mostly because of his bad attitude. He would wander around the farm from pasture to pasture, attacking the other livestock as it took his fancy. One hilarious story that stands out in my head was the time he picked a fight with one of our Holstein cows. For no reason fathomable, he ran up and bit her in the udder, causing her to turn around and headbutt him. Ferdinand managed to grab a hold of one of her forelock curls with his beak while she continued to pummel him into the grass, and refused to let go! Luckily for him, my Mother saw what was happening and ran out and saved his miserable life.
Over the years he suffered a broken beak, and a wing from messing around with the horses, cattle and sheep, but right to the end he didn't care how big his opponent was.
My parents tried to find him a mate once, so we got a second goose, Polly Anna. She was the polar opposite of Ferdie and kept to herself, didn't hiss or try to bite us.. which could be why Ferdinand wanted nothing to do with her. She eventually fell in love with a wheel barrow and spent most of her days hanging out beside it, or following it around the yard honking whenever someone had to use it.
I guess my completely honest review of geese is that they are great pets...if they like you!

(SAN BERNARDINO – 40th Street) – San Gorgonio's Interact Club took part in the San Bernardino Beautification Series April 14 on West 40 Street.
Students from the club participated in several activities which included picking up trash, removing weeds, cleaning up the nearby Stater Bros. parking lot and more.
"I think it's really important that more people get involved in [this] community because we live here and we want people when they visit our city to [know that] we care about [it]," said Helen Luu, the club's president.
In the past, the Interact Club has taken part in many community service events across the city but this occasion marks its first time participating in the San Bernardino Beautification Series.
Through this event and others, Luu's group is trying to send a message.
"I think it's important for San Bernardino to have kid leadership and to make sure that students are heard and seen out [here]. It's really important that [people] see that we're kids and we're taking initiative on our own," she explained.
She also acknowledged how her group tries to inspire others.
"We want to take part. We're active and not just a bunch of people sitting around, complaining. We're trying to encourage other people to do something like this. We just want to engage people in our community and make them feel like San Bernardino can be united," she said.
For more information about this event and the Interact Club, call San Gorgonio High School at 909-388- 6524 or visit San Bernardino Sunset Rotary's website at www.sbsunsetrotary.com.

Letters from Iwo Jima (2006) Japanese- War Drama Rated- "R" dir. Clint Eastwood
One of the styles of filmmaking I enjoy the most is the ability of a movie to be able to take a moment in history and be able to even-handedly expand on both sides of a conflict. Mr. Eastwood is extremely good at this, as he exhibits in both this movie and its companion, Flags of Our Fathers. The film itself depicts daily life for Japanese soldiers in the island of Iwo Jima before and during the American invasion of WWII.
Story/Writing: 1.5/2
Drags a bit at times, but overall very epic and branching. Paints an extremely grim and realistic portrait of World War II, equal to that of Saving Private Ryan or A Bridge Too Far.
Acting: 2/2
Despite not being the central protagonist at the start of the story, Ken Watanabe heads up a great ensemble cast. There are many good characters available to show the emotional effects of the internal and external conflicts of war.
Photography/Set: 2/2
The large, sweeping shots of the beautiful island are eventually replaced with the damp claustrophobia of the defenses in the caves. This overall arc, as well as smaller uses of the same effect, accentuate the emotion of the film itself.
Sound/FX: 2/2
A great soundtrack made even better by some great foley work. The special effects are very well done, but not overly glorified or focused on.
Misc: 1.5/2
A great movie that is just inches away from being perfect.
Good for war movie or WWII history buffs. Stay away if you're not in the mood for something serious and gritty.

The picture above shows the three essential elements of the RO booster pump. The white object at left is the transformer. It plugs into a standard wall outlet and converts to the voltage (most commonly 24 volts) required by the pump. The large object is the pump itself. The third device is the pressure switch. It monitors the water pressure in the RO unit's storage tank and turns the pump off and on in response to storage tank pressure.

Funding the ICGC Project
Lawrence, the Foundation team and some of our supporters were lucky enough to be invited to the ICGC labs at the institute of Cancer Research to see how our fundraising is helping.
Giving the final push
During our partnership with Cancer Research UK, we focused on one of the most innovative research projects on cancer today. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK, and although huge improvements in survival have been seen in the last few decades, it still claims the lives of around 29 men every single day.
The Dallaglio Foundation are proud to be supporting the UK-arm of this ambitious prostate cancer initiative by funding the £2.5m research project supported by Cancer Research UK as part of the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC).
Close to the end of funding this project, we have risen to this challenge and thanks to the incredible mobilisation of our supporters around the Cycle Slam and 8 Rocks events we have now raised over £1.9 million and hope to reach our final target by the end of this year.
Making strides
We are pleased to report that Professor Ros Eeles and Professor Colin Cooper, who jointly lead the project, have informed us that it is progressing well and they have already received the first sets of genetic data from the prostate cancers and these are now ready for analysis. This information will help researchers across the world to develop new, more personalised ways to tackle the disease and ultimately helping more men to live longer lives.
The prostate cancer initiative for ICGC is all about generating invaluable data that will power the search for new ways to tackle prostate cancer. Much of the funding pays for the high-tech genetic sequencing of tumour samples, mapping and homing in on the faults that drive prostate cancer. The next step is analysing the data to find vital clues – serious number-crunching relying on the expertise of world-leading scientists and the power of the latest computing technology.
Doing our part for personalised medicine
We are living in a golden era of medicine and Cancer Research UK believes that in the future no one's life will be cut short by cancer. Personalised medicine will help make this a reality. It's about matching patients with the treatment that will work best for them and the ultimate aim is to treat every patient as an individual, helping to make treatment more successful and creating more tomorrows for families across the UK. Lawrence and the foundation back this objective with all their strenghts.
Lab Tour
Back in March, we visited the ICGC labs, to catch up with Ros, Colin and their team. The lab tour was a fantastic insight- we were taken into the lab itself and guided through each stage of the project, from recruiting patient samples in the hospital to analysing the data that are taken from those tumour samples. It was a truly humbling experience to realise the extraordinary expertise and impact that this team brings to research into cancer.
Will Moore's story
Will is a Dallaglio Foundation supporter; he is 45 and was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2009. His cancer went undetected for some time and his doctor said he was the second youngest person he had ever diagnosed with the disease. His treatment has been successful and he is now living an active and happy life with his wife and two boys. Will believes that projects like ICGC could have changed his cancer experience...
"Had I been able to benefit from ICGC, knowing that I had a family history of cancer, it's quite possible that I would have been diagnosed earlier, avoided two years of incorrect treatment and the financial costs involved. I've had a number of different treatments over the last four years and if I was part of an ICGC program it would be clear as to whether I just bite the bullet and have a total prostatectomy (or not). If I had genetic testing it would make a HUGE difference as to how I would go about my treatment strategy and help me make informed decisions."
A Team Effort
When we asked Professor Ros Eeles why it was important for her to meet the Dallaglio Foundation she said...
"It is a great privilege for us to meet the Dallaglio Foundation, their supporters who have funded the project and it has helped us to emphasise how much of a team effort this project is. There is the scientific team, which is enabling the project to happen but also a real team of fundraisers behind the Dallaglio Foundation who are raising money to support this important work and we are very grateful to them."
Thank You from Harpal
'I am extremely proud that Cancer Research UK has been working with the Dallaglio Foundation now for over four years and 2012 was our most successful year yet. The team have worked incredibly hard and gone a long way towards their aim of raising £2.5 million for the prostate cancer arm of ICGC.
Lawrence's passion and determination to support our groundbreaking work never fails to amaze me and I would like to thank him, Rachel and all the team, along with the Dallaglio Foundation supporters for their continued commitment to this important project.
Together we will bring forward the day when all cancers are cured.'
Harpal Kumar
CEO Cancer Research UK

Mountain Estate Vineyard, Cabernet Sauvignon
Following more than 30 years adapting farming practices to the mountain climate and terrain around the winery, we are pleased to produce this wine from several Bordeaux varietal vineyard blocks yielding fruit of mature character and balance. The heart of this wine is Cabernet Sauvignon grown on steep, west facing terraces that rise above the early renowned Wedding Vineyard, reaching a towering elevation of 1,400 feet. Other contiguous vineyard blocks incorporate a great diversity of soils and exposures, providing additional complexity and unmistakable mountain terroir.
Tasting Notes
Aromas of dark chocolate, currant and black tea are followed by expressions of black cherry and ripe blackberry. On the palate, the ultra dark fruit notes are met with flavors expressive of the hillsides where it grows - lavendar, sage, forrest floor and crushed rock minerality. The texture also speaks of mountain fruit boasting dense structure and rich tannins.
- Whitney Fisher, Winemaker
Production Notes
- 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc, 2% Merlot
- Harvested October 22-26
- Whole-berry fermented in small open-top fermenters
- Malolactic fermentation completed in barrel
- Aged 21 months in French oak barrels (80% new)

CES 2019 Highlights, Part Two
This year's Consumer Electronics Show is upon us! Join us as we continue our coverage of the latest in PC-related consumer tech with, of course, a focus on notebooks.
Check out our CES 2019 Day One highlights!
AMD Announces New Mobile Processors
AMD announced three new series of mobile processors. The headliner is the Ryzen 3000 series, targeted at ultra-thin and gaming notebooks. It also announced the Athlon 300 series for mainstream notebooks, and low-powered AMD A-series processors for Chromebooks.
The new Ryzen 3000 series mobile processors are built on a 12nm process. Here's a table showing the various models:
The Ryzen 7 chips are the high-end models with up to a quad-core/eight-thread design in a 35-watt package. Note the higher GPU core count on the Ryzen 7 models versus the Ryzen 5 chips. It'll be exciting to see how the 15-watt model stack against Intel's Core i-series "U" processors, which occupy the same thermal bracket. AMD already claims its chips share a performance advantage over Intel's offerings.
The low-power AMD A-series processors were also announced:
The 6-watt package design means devices built around these processors could be fanless.
Alienware Area-51m Boasts Desktop CPU
Alienware's latest and greatest gaming notebook is a true monster in every way. The new Area-51m features a socketed Intel processor up to the flagship Intel Core i9-9900K 8-core/16-thread chip that Intel claims is the world's best gaming CPU. In addition to a replaceable processor, the Area-51m also features a replaceable graphics card, although it's unclear whether it's an Nvidia MXM-standard module or not.
Premium features include a magnesium alloy design, customizable RGB LED lighting (AlienFX), a claimed virtually silent cooling system, a narrow-bezel display, and light or dark color choices.
It's not available yet, but this might be the most exciting gaming notebook I've seen in a long time. Desktop power!
Convertible Gaming with the Acer Predator Triton 900
In an unusual design move, Acer has rolled out a convertible gaming notebook. The Predator Triton 900 features a 17.3-inch 4K display that can fold around and turn the device into a large tablet. Its specifications include an Intel Core i7-8750H six-core processor and Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 graphics. Together they ought to have no trouble powering the latest games at a 4K resolution.
Acer also announced the 15-inch Predator Triton 500 gaming notebook. It measures just 0.7 inches thin and features an all-metal design. Its 4.6-pound weight and rated 8-hour battery life means it's deigned for travel. For gaming prowess, it has a 144Hz screen, up to an eighth-generation Intel Core i7 processor, and Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 graphics.
The Predator Triton 900 will be available in March 2019 for $3,999 (that's the starting price, mind you). Meanwhile, the Predator Triton 500 will be available in February for an easier-to-swallow starting price of $1,799.
Samsung Notebook 9 Pro Focuses on Portability
Clad in a metal exterior with diamond-cut edges, the new Samsung Notebook 9 Pro is all about premium portability. Featuring a 13.3-inch screen, the Notebook 9 Pro weighs just 2.84 pounds and measures a scant 0.55 inches thin. It delivers up to 14 hours of battery life thanks to its large 55 watt-hour fast-charge battery. Its 2-in-1 design means it can transform into a tablet. An active pen (stylus) is included.
Technical specifications:
- 13.3-inch display with 350 nits of brightness
- Windows 10 Home
- Intel Core i7-8565U quad-core processor
- Intel UHD 620 graphics card
- 8GB LPDDR3 (soldered) memory
- 256GB PCI Express storage
- 2x Thunderbolt 3 ports
- Fingerprint reader included
- Dimensions (WDH): 12.1 x 8.1 x 0.55 inches
The Samsung Notebook 9 Pro will be available in Q1 2019, but Samsung didn't release the price. I'd expect to see it around the $1,500 mark.
Nvidia Begins G-Sync Monitor Validation
Nvidia G-sync, a technology that synchronizes the refresh rate of your display to match the frames-per-second (fps) output of your graphics card, isn't new. In fact, it's been helping gamers smooth out their gaming experience for several years. What is new is Nvidia's announcement that have tested several hundred monitors for G-Sync compatibility. Even if a monitor doesn't pass G-Sync certification, Nvidia still may certify the monitor as supporting basic variable refresh rate (VRR). This is a very pro-consumer move from Nvidia. Look for the updated graphics card drivers for your GeForce GTX 10 or RTX 20 series graphics cards starting January 15.
HP Refreshes Omen 15 Gaming Notebook
HP's Omen 15 gaming laptop has been revamped with an eighth-generation Intel Core i7 processor and Nvidia GeForce RTX 20-class graphics. The 144Hz refresh rate of its 15.6-inch IPS panel is impressive, as most notebook displays are just 60Hz.
The announced Omen 15-dc1030nr model has the following specifications:
- 15.6-inch IPS display (1080p)
- Intel Core i7-8750H six-core processor
- 16GB DDR4-2666 dual-channel RAM
- 128GB SSD + 1TB hard drive storage combo
- Dimensions (WDH): 14.17 x 10.35 x 1.02 inches
- Weight: 5.31 pounds
- 4-cell 70Wh battery
HP didn't announce pricing, but the refreshed Omen 15 should be available in Q1 2019.

Personal website development is a big factor in promoting your business or yourself online. An efficient and attractive site will appeal to visitors. Understanding how to design well and staying efficient is a good start. Keep reading to get the tips you need to do so.
Make sure to preserve personal information that may need to be entered again by the same user of your website. For instance, if a visitor registers for your newsletter and they are going to use the same information to make a purchase, be sure the data they've already entered is kept, so they do not have to re-enter the same information. You streamline the process when you create "sticky" information, and your visitors will appreciate you not wasting their time.
You want to ensure that your site has passed the NoScript test. Download and activate the NoScript extension for Firefox and see if your site is still readable. It will be normal for some content not to work, like the ordering system, but a blank page is a red flag.
Try doing some research on a variety of keywords. While your primary focus is to offer customers information that is up to date and relevant, the first order of business is to form a customer base. To make sure that people find your website more easily, you'll need to learn what keywords are and how to use them effectively.
Frame designs were great in the 1990s, but they are no longer useful. Frames used to be beneficial in some ways, but they always had their issues. Frames make it hard for visitors to bookmark and scroll through the page. There are much easier ways to provide your users a flow through your website.
Try pulling images into your post to maximize engagement. Pictures help make your website more user-friendly. People like to look at pictures, so they will probably spend more time on your site.
If you want to have a successful website, you need to design it in a way that works for all browsers. It is crucial you test out your site that and see that all pages show up properly in each browser. What works in Chrome might not appear the way you want it in Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Safari. Before your website goes live, check to be sure that the pages display properly in all of the most popular browsers.
It is important to make use of ALT tags for your images in your site design. These tags make it easy for those with disabled graphics and offer descriptions for those who are impaired visually and make use of translation tools for images. ALT tags can also help out if your images link elsewhere. Lastly, ALT tags offer search engines a target that will help in boosting your rankings in searches.
Always look for broken links prior to publishing pages on the web. The worst experience for a visitor is to have interest in learning more only to click the dreaded dead end link. Check out your links manually on your own, or use a program for the scan.
Make sure that you use file sizes for all content on your site that loads quickly for your website visitors. Choose GIFs and JPEGs; instead of other types of graphic files. The reason for this is that PNG and BMP files take up a lot of disk space. Alter your graphics to smaller file size file types to keep load times minimal for your users.
A well-written "About Us" page is worth the effort. Most websites don't have very interesting copy in this area. Spice things up. Aim to give visitors a small glimpse of your personal background. Demonstrate how you began web design, the people who inspired you to do this, and what your business goals are.
Buy website design software to help you build a nice site. These programs are easy to use and helps you learn the basics. The monetary investment is typically worth it; if you try, and fail, to create a nice website on your own, visitors just aren't going to come to your site.
Get your domain name registered when you have a site idea. It should be creative and cover the area you wish to dive into. Other people may be thinking about the same thing you are thinking. We are all stimulated by the same media and social events.
Do not work with pop-ups. It's annoying to visit a website and get ambushed with a lot of pop-up ads. Many people will leave a site that has pop-ups, even the big sites. Stay away from these types of annoying ads, and your customers will be happier. Any host which requires you to have pop-up ads is a host you don't want to use!
Using a development platform can make it easy to code your web page, but they are not necessarily reliable. The idea with a platform is that you design the site features, and then paste the generated code. It makes things simple, but it can create some bulky, messy code. To make things more error-free, working the old fashioned way, via a text editor, is the smarter approach.
Alt Tags
Get signed up for a design newsletter to stay current on web design trends. This way, if you ever are at a loss for ideas, you will be able to find inspiration through the newsletters. Whether designers are well-versed in web design or just getting started, they are likely to find helpful information.
During the process of designing your site, use ALT tags for your images. These tags are very important for the handicapped segment of your target audience. No mater whether you use image links or not, the use of an ALT tag gives a better explanation. Lastly, search spiders use ALT tags, so this can help you in the SERPs.
Imitation might be the best form of flattery, but when it comes to web design it's important to develop your own ideas. Create designs on your own, and improve on the ones you've witnessed on other websites. This is a good way to develop your own understanding of web design.
A website counter is outdated and not attractive. You might like the number going up, but your visitors don't like it. Eliminate visitor counters, and find other methods of tracking the number of visitors to your site.
If you are just starting out in web design, use a simple template for your layout, then modify it with your own code. You should start with the basics, then advance to the more complex functions as you improve your skills and get more experience with the entire process of web designing.
Even if you have decided to invest a lot of money into your website, hosting a site yourself isn't the best idea. You need to design your site on your own, but let another person host your site because this can free up your time and let you put your focus on some other areas besides the security and safety of your site.
Try to include some "site searching" on your index page and sub-pages if you can. If you do this, visitors will perceive that your site is more user-friendly; it becomes instantly easier to locate the targeted information. It is very easy to include this option on your website, and visitors will undoubtedly appreciate your effort.
In order to be a successful web designer, you will have to become familiar with Html5. If you aren't well-versed with HTML 5, you'll have a lot to work on later, so be prepared and start learning.
You don't have to design your site alone. Great web design incorporates many different skills, including graphic design, programming, SEO, and the creation of memorable content. Don't be afraid to get help if you need it. When it comes to those web design areas that you lack expertise in, hiring a specialist or a professional company may be well worth the cost.
Consult with friends and those in the know, if you missed something when you were learning about HTML, Dreamweaver and Photoshop. It's a good thing to know that you actually remember all that you were taught, because something you don't want is to be halfway through designing your site and then suddenly stumble over a lost fact or point.
Don't spend a cent on how-to books. Although if you do wish to pay, it is a long-term investment. Many professional books and magazines exit that have a ton of great information in them. Much of the information available is free. A lot of the free info is just as useful as what you'll pay for.
Work with a professional. You can gain a great deal of knowledge from a web design master who knows how the field works. This virtually guarantees that you will improve, so long as you put in the effort.
You always want to take site security seriously. When handling data for your site, such as credit cards or PayPal payments, you should purchase an SSL certificate. Your host may have additional security features.
If at all possible, incorporate a way for visitors to search throughout your site for the information they are seeking. Customers will appreciate the ability to effortlessly navigate your site. You can include a search function easily, and it will greatly increase the utility of your site.
Think about becoming a CSS expert. While knowledge of HTML is important, CSS is more important in creating professional websites. These style sheets are going to be what your site uses to have a look that's not too different on each page. Style sheets also make it a breeze to apply universal changes across your entire site. For instance, if you wanted to change one font to red, you'd just find and change that single line of code.
Try thinking about the literacy level you want when writing your content. There are differing levels at which people read and you will not want to approach all visitors as if they have had a college education. If you wish to expand your audience, you must first produce content that they can comprehend.
Remember to take advantage of white space. "White space" is not white, it is just blank areas within your website. Don't create too much clutter on your pages. Clean, uncluttered white space serves the purpose of drawing the visitor's eyes to the most important information on your site. It also makes reading easier and more comfortable.
When trying to figure out what to do with ads on your site, never place ones that are too large. You want people to feel comfortable when they're visiting your site. By keeping your website free of ad clutter, it will look more professional. Visitors will be more likely to come back.
Checking out domain auctions allows you to grab up a good name that you wouldn't be able to buy new. These sites offer access to dozens of domain names, including those that were abandoned or sold.
Flash is a web page design tool that you should generally avoid. Flash can slow down visitors' computers, and make them unlikely to want to stay on your site. Don't forget, some mobile phones and tablets don't have Flash enabled, so they are going to be frustrated when they can't view your site.
Add tools to your site that people can share on other sites. This will increase the amount of people interested in your site. You can get a lot of visitors to your site if you give your visitors a way to share what they've found there.
Firstly you must learn how to create your site, then you can get on with the job of putting it all together. Apply these tips as you create the layout, the navigation and develop the content for your visitors. You can achieve your goals when you know how to bring in more traffic.
Ensure that you have the resolution in mind. Because computers use a variety of resolutions, you must ensure that your content can be viewed at various resolution settings. You can find tools online to help you.

Surprisingly, perhaps, on fast days people tend to feel more energised rather than weak and feeble. Therefore, the question arises as to whether it is OK to exercise on fast days.
The short answer is yes, its fine!
This is what Michael and Mimi have to say about it in their book:
The short answer is yes, its fine!
This is what Michael and Mimi have to say about it in their book:
"Research demonstrates that even a more extreme three-day total fast has no negative effect on the ability to perform short-term, high-intensity workouts or long-duration, moderate-intensity exercise. Athletes seem to suffer no loss in performance during occasional fasting; a 2008 study of Tunisian footballers during Ramadan found that fasting had no effect on performance ... training while fasting can result in better metabolic adaptations (which means enhanced performance over time), improved muscle protein synthesis, and a higher anabolic response to post-exercise feeding. Training on an empty stomach turns out to be beneficial on multiple levels, coaxing the body to burn a greater percentage of fat for fuel instead of relying on recently consumed carbs; if you're burning fat, don't forget: you're not storing it."
