Export Pricing Competitiveness
The cost-plus method of export pricing helps to ensure that the exporter will be selling at a profit. However, it does not take into account the prices of competing products in the foreign market. Therefore, the next step in export pricing is for the exporter to check the competitiveness of his price in the target foreign market.
When the exporter finds that his price is too high, he must decide whether other features of the product quality, design, uniqueness, promotion, etc. will offset this. If the exporter still considers his price to be too high, he may consider reducing it, perhaps temporarily, to get established in that foreign market, by:
1. Accepting a lower profit margin than normally desirable.
2. Recalculate his costs to reduce the contribution expected for fixed costs, or factory overhead -This technique, sometimes called marginal pricing, is possible only if the exporter has a substantial domestic market to pay for all the fixed costs.
If the exporter finds that he cannot afford to lower his price, he must see whether he can improve the attractiveness of the non-price features of his product e.g. use of a brand name, better packaging, better promotion, faster installation and other initial and after-sales services.
Or when the exporter finds that his product is priced lower than that of competitive products, he may decide to raise the price above that indicated by the cost-plus method.
Clarification ahead of time whether the exporter will be required to provide agents or distributors with discounts, rebates, and promotional allowances is also important. Clarification ahead of time whether the exporter will be required to provide agents or distributors with discounts, rebates, and promotional allowances is also important.
Because, the cost of these items must be included in the calculation of the export price.
The exporter should also keep in mind that he might want to have the flexibility to offer a lower price, better credit, on more favorable delivery terms to attract special customers. So the cost of these concessions must be built into the overall export price.

Road travel in Africa comes with its fair share of dust, so while curtains are fitted to minimise the sunshine, it can get hot and windy.
There are some long travel days, which can be exacerbated by bumpy African roads.
You don't need to be a super-fit athlete to go on an overland safari, but you will need a good level of physical resilience and movement, especially for entering and exiting the vehicles, and for taking long trips on bumpy roads. There's also a half-day canoe trip along the Orange River.

The President of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov accused Kremlin of taking money away from donor regions, and violation of the Constitution.
He commented on the situation when the federal center takes significant amount of money from economically successful regions in order to maintain subsidized regions, thus reducing to naught any economic success.
"This applies to a small number of regions, like 10-12, and seriously applies to 5- 6 regions," said Minnikhanov.
According to him, Tatarstan realizes "that it is necessary to maintain the recipient regions, but not at the expense of worsening the situation that we have here. For the next year we have 8 billion (approx. $130 million – RRT) less than this year. So, all our earnings in the next year, if we work hard, will only cover what was taken from us."
The politician criticized "some of our federal leaders", which he believes provide incorrect reports to the President of the Russian Federation that taking the money away doesn't have negative consequences.
"Probably, the President is being told that it is painless," continued Minnikhanov. "How can it be painless? It is painful, and we have to express our opinion that it is wrong. Huge amounts of money are "lost" by Moscow, Khanty-Mansiysk, St. Petersburg, and us."
Minnikhanov was supported by Speaker of Tatarstan State Council Farid Mukhametshin, who noted that the practice of obtaining money from donors violates the Russian Constitution for the sake of implementation of the "May presidential decrees" in the neighboring regions. "We object," the speaker said.

American Bald Eagle: Rising High on Thermals
Wingspan: 7 - 8 feet
A bald eagle makes it look as if it takes no effort at all for it to rise to great heights above the earth's surface. This skill is a combination of two things: the differences in how quickly different parts of the earth's surface heat up and the broad wings of the eagle.
During the day, as the sun shines down on the surface of the earth, some places warm up faster than others. This is because some places absorb more of the sun's heat than others. For example, land warms up more quickly than water and a parking lot heats up faster than a grassy field.
Different temperatures on the earth's surface cause the air above these surfaces to also have different temperatures. Air over land heats up more quickly than air over water. When the warm air over the land is next to the cooler air over the water, forces are set up that make the warmer air rise above the cooler air. This rising part of the air is called a thermal. A bald eagle's wings are specially adapted to take advantage of these rising thermals of air. Look carefully though, turkey vultures also like to glide on the updrafts and may look like eagles from far away.
When an eagle first leaves its perch, it uses its broad wings and powerful flying muscles to get higher. Once an eagle is up in the air, its wide wings allow it to stay up with less work. When an eagle comes across a thermal, it can use this rising hot air to really climb. By circling over the middle of a rising thermal, a bald eagle can just spread its wings, allowing the warm air to lift the eagle to heights up to 3 miles above the surface of the earth.
You can watch bald eagles soaring high this winter. Head for places with open water where the birds can catch fish like the Wisconsin River at Sauk City. Some communities sponsor special winter bald eagle watching days.

Snow is in the forecast for Washington, and the National Weather Service says a couple of inches could fall Friday morning in the Seattle area before turning to rain.
Forecasters say colder air is moving into the state Wednesday, and when precipitation arrives Thursday night it will fall as snow in the Western Washington lowlands. Forecasters say it's difficult to predict accumulations before it turns to rain but there could be 2 to 4 inches north of Seattle.
More snow is expected in the mountains and parts of Eastern Washington. Cooler temperatures will keep a chance of snow in the Eastern Washington forecast through the weekend.

In the beginning, there was Red Bull, and it was said that Red Bull "gives you wings." At its stateside genesis in 1997, the little silver can that could stood alone on the frontier of a new market, soon-to-be-borne of the "energy drink" craze. Now energy drinks have gone forth and multiplied, to the point where every company from Coca-Cola to Snapple has gotten in on the trend, and every celebrity seems to have their own signature blend, whether they're alive to endorse them (Ed Hardy) or not (The Jimi Hendrix Liquid Experience).
So what makes an energy drink stand out from the copious herds these days? The one thing all of them are supposed to have in common is a formula that includes sugar and B vitamins; they all provide some sort of energy rush, whether sustained (that'd be thanks to the B vitamins) or quick (a cheap and brief sugar rush). Since the effect is essentially the same, we are left with just one (albeit very important) measuring stick of an energy drink's quality: taste.
Let's be honest: A lot of energy drinks taste like Pixie Stix dissolved in Kool-Aid, and can have an effect on the stomach not unlike trying to digest battery acid. This week, I tried yet another of the gazillion energy drinks on the market: Killer Buzz. And I was pleasantly surprised on a couple fronts.
For starters, it tastes pretty good, similar to regular Monster Energy (the green label), which I think is the best-tasting energy drink on the market right now. For those who have never tasted Monster, it resembles a super-fruity, carbonated green apple soda. Killer Buzz has the same green apple taste, but it's much more sugary, and has an aftertaste that's kind of like chewing on mini-marshmallows.
Looking at the ingredients label, it's obvious that Killer Buzz follows the standard energy drink formula: sugars (27 grams), Riboflavin (80 percent of the Recommended Daily Allowance), Niacin (50 percent of the RDA), Vitamin B6 (170 percent of the RDA), Vitamin B12 (40 percent of the RDA), and Pantothenic Acid (25 percent of the RDA).

You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
But wait -- what's this? A gram of protein? Protein in my energy drink! Awesome. How?
Well, the recipe for Killer Buzz actually includes something a little different: a proprietary blend of 17 amino acids known as "GHAA." That sounds really cool until you learn GHAA stands for "Giant Hornet Amino Acid," which is not the same amino acid that humans produce and consume. In fact, GHAA is a synthetic version (i.e., somebody made it in a lab) of secretions of giant hornet larvae, which the adult hornets usually eat. In other words, I'm drinking imitation hornet larvae puke. Mmm.
I guess that wouldn't be so bad if there was a noticeable boost in my energy level. But honestly, I didn't feel any differently than if I had drank a can of Red Bull to get some wings to go with my hornet buzz.
In summation, the energy boost of Killer Buzz is pretty standard, and the taste is slightly above average. It's unlikely this drink will give Red Bull or Monster any real competition, but it's certainly better than say, a can of sugar water that sells for $3 just because it has Ed Hardy's art mass-produced on the front.

Cissy Houston Seeks Closure in Whitney's Death
A source tells TMZ that Cissy Houston "won't be at peace until she gets closure" surrounding Whitney Houston's passing. Only hours after her daughter's death, the matriarch claims she was visited by the icon's spirit. In hopes find a spiritual connection with her again, Cissy is mapping out a plan to return to room 434 of the Beverly Hills Hotel where Whitney was found dead.

A Ceremony for Children Who Have Died, GGF 10/29
With Chris Fortin and Sarah Emerson
in the Zendo at Green Gulch Farm Zen Center
Sunday, October 29, 2017, 2 – 4:30 pm
The loss of a loved one, especially a child, whether recent or in the past, always impacts our lives indelibly. No matter how the child dies, born or unborn, whether through illness, accident, miscarriage, abortion, or suicide, our sorrow is deep and often wants to find expression in our lives. Jizo Bodhisattva is a Buddhist figure known as the guardian of children and travelers, and particularly of children crossing over from this life. This ceremony allows family and friends to give time and space to open to our grief and acknowledge the children whose passings have touched our lives so deeply. During this quiet afternoon, as we work alongside one another in silence, making a personal memorial for our loved ones by writing a message or sewing a small garment, we make room for nurturing and tending both the beings who have died and those who continue to live.
This memorial event originates in the Japanese Buddhist tradition of honoring Jizo Bodhisattva. One of the most beloved figures of Japanese Buddhism, Jizo statues are common on roadways, in parks and in cemeteries, where various items are placed on or near a statue as an offering and petition to Jizo to help guide and protect their loved ones as they make the passage from life into death.
Everyone is welcome who has experienced a loss, and friends and families have found it quite healing to attend together. You are welcome to bring children, and please know there are several periods of quiet time. It works best if at least two adults attend the event so one can attend to the children if they are not able or willing to participate in the quiet time. There is outdoor space to explore/enjoy if this is the case.
- Part 1 of our time together is for creating personal, unique fabric offerings to be used in the ceremony. We will provide fabric, scissors, needle, and thread. You are welcome to bring your own fabric as well. Red is the traditional color used for Jizo offerings, but not essential. Much of this time is spent in shared silence so we may each be with our own story and experience.
- Part 2 is a ceremony of dedication for those who have died. Everyone is invited to approach the altar, which is adorned with flowers and statues of various figures of compassion, including Jizo Bodhisattva, Our Lady of Guadalupe, St. Francis, angels, and the like. You can make an incense offering, place your fabric creation on or with a compassion figure, and speak aloud or silently communicate your wishes for the well-being of your child. The group then processes in silence to City Center's courtyard, where we hand-tie wind offerings/paper prayers in honor of our loved ones who have died.
Suggested donation: $20 per person; $40 per family. Donations will be split between the temple and teachers. No one turned away.
Registration: To register, please call the Green Gulch Farm main office at 415.383.3134 or the SFZC Reservations Office at 888.743.9362 or 415.475.9362.About Registration, Scholarships, and Cancellations

Haiti earthquake relief: Despite tensions, Cuba opens airspace to US flights(Read article summary)
In the wake of the Haiti earthquake, Cuba is allowing US flights over its airspace, cutting the trip between Guantánamo Bay and Miami by 90 minutes.
Rich Pedroncelli/AP
Cuba, the communist Caribbean island under a United States embargo since 1962, is allowing the US to use Cuban airspace for medical evacuation flights from Haiti, the White House said late Thursday. That will cut 90 minutes from the flight from the US base at Guantánamo Bay to Miami, it added.
Haiti was struck by a 7.0 magnitude earthquake 15 miles from its capital city, Port-au-Prince, Tuesday evening. Tens of thousands of people are estimated to have been killed and hundreds of thousands injured.
The US and Cuba are still at cold war-era odds for what Cubans call the "blockade" – the US trade embargo that restricts most Americans from spending money in Cu,ba and sharply limits trade between the two nations in order to protest the Castro regime's human rights and political record. But they can share common ground in offering relief to their shared neighbor Haiti.
US President Obama has pledged to Haiti that "you will not be forsaken; you will not be forgotten." In an open letter to "sister Republic of Haiti" President René Prevál, Cuban leader Raúl Castro similarly pledged: "On behalf of the Cuban people and government, I convey to you our most heartfelt condolences and reiterate that you can count on aid in solidarity from our country at this difficult time." His letter was translated in the state-run Cuban newspaper Granma.
Raúl officially took the reins of Cuba from his brother Fidel in 2008 as the aging revolutionary's health declined. Whether the airspace restriction is the latest in a series of softening signals coming from Raúl, in addition to a pragmatic gesture from Cuba toward Haiti, remains to be seen.

Sleater-Kinney Got a Bunch of Their Famous Friends to Sing for Them
Including Andy Samberg, Connie Britton, Sarah Silverman, and Norman Reedus.
To promote their upcoming album No Cities to Love, Sleater-Kinney got a bunch of famous people to film themselves singing the title track. Not just Fred Armisen, who's practically a member of the band at this point, but also Andy Samberg, Miranda July, Norman Reedus, Sarah Silverman, Natasha Lyonne, Ellen Page, and Connie Britton, among others.* It's like Justin Bieber's "Call Me Maybe" video, except with people adults have heard of.
* The original version of this post said that Nick Kroll was among the celebrities included in the video. As far as we can tell, he is not.

Brigham leads 15-goal scoring brigade as Bentley rolls to win vs. American Int'l
WALTHAM, Mass. -- Freshman Matt Brigham scored four goals to lead Bentley to a 15-3 victory against American International in the Falcons' Northeast-10 opener Sunday afternoon.
Bentley led from nearly start to finish to earn its first win of the season and to improve its record to 1-1 overall. The Yellow Jackets fell to 1-5 overall and 0-2 in the NE-10.
Brigham got started early, scoring just 3:03 into the first quarter with Steve Caditz on the assist, one of four on the day for him. The Falcons scored three more times in the last 3:11 of the first quarter, and twice in the last 56 seconds, to lead 4-1 after 15 minutes.
Bentley outscored the Yellow Jackets 4-0 in the second quarter to lead 8-1 at halftime. Brigham scored the first goal of the quarter in a man-up situation. Doug Mahony had a goal in the quarter and junior Jason Knight had two.
AIC got the first goal of the second half from Jeff Sienkiewicz at the 10:05 mark to cut the deficit to 8-2. They temporarily kept Bentley off the scoreboard until Brigham scored two more just 38 seconds apart toward the end of the quarter to give the Falcons a 10-2 lead heading into the fourth.
Bentley continued to pour it on in the final quarter, getting a man-up goal from Nick Astarita and a goal from Caditz, among others. Astarita was one of four Falcons, along with Brigham, Knight and Tim Matheson, to score multiple goals.

Two gunmen clad in black and wearing ski masks terrorized and robbed a group of young people early today at a home in Phoenix and shot at a Baltimore County police officer before they escaped into a nearby cornfield.
They fled, police said, with at least $2,800 in cash after pistol-whipping, kicking and threatening several people in the house, at 12616 Dulaney Valley Road.
Authorities searched the area at daybreak, using at least a dozen officers, a helicopter and three K-9 dogs. But the suspects could not be found, according to Sgt. Steven Doarnberger, police spokesman.

Marin Independent Journal (http://www.marinij.com)
Thursday, June 27, 2013
The most surprising thing about "Return to the Forbidden Planet" is that it has a pedigree. A jukebox musical of rock and R&B classics from the 1950s and '60s loosely based around the 1956 B-movie "Forbidden Planet," "Return" sounds like something someone made up on the fly, especially when you find out that half the dialogue is random Shakespeare quotations. Curtain Theatre's loose and goofy production at Tamalpais High School's Caldwell Theatre only accentuates the impression of a bit of fun that someone threw together on a lark.
Maybe that was true originally, but it would have been a long time ago. Written by Bob Carlton, "Return" originated as an outdoor tent production with the London Bubble Theatre Company in the early 1980s. From there it made its way to Liverpool's Everyman Theatre, then London's prestigious Tricycle Theatre and finally the West End, where it won the Olivier Award for best new musical of 1989-1990 (beating out "Miss Saigon," among others). What madness is this?
Mill Valley's Curtain Theatre is a 13-year-old company that usually puts on free productions of Shakespeare in Old Mill Park. This year the company is branching out with an indoor production of this campy rock 'n' roll romp, to be followed in August by an outdoor show of a non-Shakespearean classic, Carlo Gozzi's 1762 play "King Stag."
The first thing you'll notice about Curtain's "Return," presented in association with Marin Onstage, is that it looks fabulous. The set by coproducer Gary Gonser and director Carl Jordan is a delightfully retro spaceship deck with flashing lights, mysterious doodads and portholes labeled, "Do not open in deep space." Good to know!
The chorus is a motley assortment of crewmembers with fanciful outfits by Jeanine Gray and individual character names in the program that make them look like they're going to have something to say or do in the story, which turns out not to be the case for most of them.
Combining "Forbidden Planet" with "The Tempest" (on which the sci-fi flick was loosely based in the first place) and plot points borrowed from other Shakespeare plays, plus silly segues into the songs, the meandering story is nearly incomprehensible. We're on an Earthling spaceship that lands on a far-off planet where crazy Earth scientist Doctor Prospero (Paul Abbott) has been marooned for decades. He's developed some mind-enhancing drug that he guards zealously, and his beautiful daughter Miranda (a blithe and bonny Maura Tang) falls in love with the ship's captain (Phillip Percy Williams as a cocky Captain Kirk/Han Solo type), while the crew's endearingly bumpkinish cook (producer Steve Beecroft) falls in love with her. Oh, and there's some nuttiness about a tentacled id monster and Prospero's long-lost evil wife, Gloria (cue the 1964 Them song).
The movie is remembered primarily for Robby the Robot, who went on to became a popular guest star. In this version Prospero's robot is Ariel (an amiable Melissa Claire), a clownish, roller-skating Borg.
Abbott mixes a sonorous voice with wide-eyed lunacy as Doctor Prospero, a composite of the wizard from "The Tempest" mixed with the movie's Prospero analogue Dr. Morbius, with some King Lear thrown in for good measure. When he speaks onstage, the overhead screen shows him making loony faces at the camera. The same thing happens with Sumi Narendran when she speaks as the narrator, which is only a couple of times. She's onstage the rest of the time as the ship's communications officer, one of the background noncharacters.
Shakespearean lines are tossed in willy-nilly, regardless of whether they're from "Macbeth," "Julius Caesar," "Twelfth Night" or what you will, loosely laced together to make some semblance of sense (and the occasional egregious pun). The delivery is often rushed and muddled, making it hard to understand what people are saying, and thus what's going on.
The songs fare better for the most part. Well played by a four-piece redshirt rock band under the direction of Amanda Morando, the cast whips through a hodgepodge of fare from James Brown and Connie Francis; the Exciters and the Animals; the Beach Boys and the Moody Blues. Some of the multipart songs don't quite come together, such as a version of Elvis Presley's "All Shook Up" split up between Prospero, Miranda and Cookie. But the soulful belting of Nicole Frydman's blasé science officer makes for a powerful "Go Now" and a lively duet of "It's a Man's World" with Williams's Captain Tempest, and Beecroft's Cookie tears up the Zombies' "She's Not There." There's also a charmingly boisterous dance number to the Surfaris' "Wipe Out" choreographed by Beecroft.
As loose and hectic as the staging is, this "Forbidden Planet" has plenty of entertaining moments and ultimately wins you over as silly, campy fun. I was on board once I heard Cookie holler, "Is this a monster I see before me with tentacles instead of hands? Don't let it clutch me!" Can't argue with that.

Three Of the Best SEO Tools For Wordpress
The world of SEO is changing every day. That doesn't mean that you have to change SEO tactics every day. There are a lot of webmasters out there that believe that. They believe that since Google makes hundreds of algorithm changes every year, that they need to make at least as many changes to keep up. Wrong. Just follow the Google Webmaster blog. You'll find a common thread in all of the updates. Every update is aimed at trying to improve search results.
If you try to swim upstream, you'll end up with endless headaches and feel like you're wasting a lot of time. SEO can be a stressful art - even for those who work in the business. Accept the premise that your job is to give your site visitors the best possible experience on your blog and it will make your life a lot easier. Here are a few plugins for Wordpress that can help you:
Google Analytics Dashboard
Everyone knows what Google Analytics is. It's possibly the best analytics tool out there right now. It delves deep into your site and gives you all of the nitty-gritty details about what's going on there. You can see visitor counts, where people are coming from, where they go on your site, and sometimes you can even see the keywords used to get to your blog (though this is becoming more and more rare).
While using Google Analytics is probably always a good idea, it's not always convenient. Enter Google Analytics Dashboard. This plugin takes Analytics and imports it right into your Wordpress blog. Now you can get granular without staring at the Analytics dashboard. Sometimes, it's difficult to tease apart what pages are what (especially if you've ever had the Wordpress default settings for your permalinks). Go to your "posts" page in your admin area, and you can see the page views for each page. If you want to see a consolidated view of all traffic, the plugin makes a dedicated page for you so you can drill down and do the same kinds of analysis that are available directly through Google. Not only does this save you time, it can also help make the data more meaningful
Google XML Sitemaps
You need a sitemap if you want search engines to find you. Rather than build one yourself, let the Google XML sitemap generator do it for you. The sitemap generator saves you a lot of time by automatically create a sitemap, exclude any pages from the sitemap, and allows you to control which search engines get notified when you update your blog. You also have the ability to make this a truly "hands-off" generator by controlling whether the plugin automatically rewrites your sitemap according to any changes on your blog (i.e. rewrite the sitemap when you add or delete a post or page).
Finally, you can set the location of the sitemap on your blog, and specify whether you want some pages to take priority over others. There's really no reason not to use this plugin since it's safe, stable, and necessary for even the most conservative SEO.
WP Super Cache
Ever wonder how some blogs just feel "lighter" or "faster?" WP Super Cache is the reason. Your Wordpress blog generates pages using a programming language called PHP. This programming language is dynamic, which allows you to do all of the cool things that you like to do on Wordpress, but it tends to slow down your site when it's being served to visitors. WP Super Cache fixes this by generating static HTML pages in place of the dynamic PHP pages. The result? Your site loads faster and feels more responsive to user queries.
Plugins make using Wordpress easy, but they also come with a major drawback: you must rely on the publisher to update the software and all plugins have to play nicely with each other. In general, keep it simple with the plugins you use, try to minimize what you do use, and continually upgrade your SEO plugins and themes so that nothing on your site breaks or slows down.

What's best to do in summertime than to visit Algarve, its beautiful beaches, amazing cities and places that are known to few? Discover Cape Saint Vincent, Serra de Monchique, Silves and other beautiful locations in this two-part itinerary.
Luz beach was our base for the 5 days we spent in this region. To enjoy the beaches and discover the Algarve we have decided to split the days in two – in the morning we got to know this region a little better and in the afternoon we went to the beach to get some tan. We ended our days at the hotel's pool.
Day 1 : Arrival to Luz Beach
We stayed in an apartment in the resort Estrela da Luz (affiliate link), probably the most luxurious place we have stayed in all our lives. It's true it is a luxurious place, but it won't be more expensive than other apartments or hotel rooms near the beach in Algarve cities like Albufeira or Portimão in Estrela da Luz you can enjoy a spa and three swimming pools.
After checking in we went to the local supermarket to buy some groceries and afterwards we ended our day at the hotel's spa.
Day 2 : Cape Saint Vincent and Beliche Beach
In our truly first full day in the Algarve we visited the southwestern point of Europe: Cape Saint Vincent.
As you can see, Cape Saint Vincent is a unique place of rare beauty. Aside from the landscape you can also see Sagres lighthouse.
During your visit do not make the same mistake I did – don't bring just a t-shirt. Even if it is 25º, the wind is strong so bring something warmer.
On our way back from Cape Saint Vincent, we stopped at Beliche beach, located just 3 km from the the cape. This beach is perhaps one of the less known beaches in Algarve but it has something different.
Beliche beach is the one to visit – you will have to climb down a hundred steps to fully appreciates the beauty of this place.
Located 3 km away is the village of Sagres and its Fortress. As the fortress was closed and it was almost lunch time, we decided to go back to our place to enjoy the sun and the beach.
After eating in the apartment, we visited Luz beach and the streets nearby, 500 metres from the hotel.
Luz beach is not one of the most beautiful beaches in the Algarve, however it has all it takes for you to spend a marvellous day: restaurants, bars, fine sand and a quiet sea with a warm temperature. When I booked my vacation for August I was afraid there would be too much people around – yes, I'm a tourist but I like to stroll and lay at the beach without hearing other people's conversations.
Are you going to visit the Algarve? Then I suggest you read this detailed itinerary (click here) so that you can better prepare your trip and discover this wonderful region in 6 days.
As you can see in the photos, there were many people on the beach but there was still room for us without stepping on other people.
Around 6 p.m. we went back to the hotel to enjoy the exterior pools and the spa. I didn't have the opportunity to try the inner pool on the previous day so it was time to do it|
The experience went sideways… For those who don't know, I can't swim so I tried to figure out what was the depth of the pool on the higher end – it was 1,50m so it was safe for me to go.
I went right in but imagine my surprise when I tried to get up and noticed the water covered me up to my eyes…
After swallowing some water I got to one of the sides of the pool. I jumped right out of the pool and saw that everyone was having a laugh out of the situation…
I got out of there and went to the jacuzzi – this time I was sure I wouldn't get caught off guard.
Check here if you want to read the second part of my visit to this beautiful region – you'll discover Silves, Serra do Monchique, Lagos and Ponta da Piedade.

While many bands are content to play it safe and create metal music within normal confines, there's always going to be brave outsiders like Coma Cluster Void pushing the genre forwards. The multi-national collective (featuring ex-Cryptopsy, current Akurion vocalist Mike Disalvo) released debut album "Mind Cemeteries" back in 2016, resulting in a surprise hit.
Today the band partnered with ItDjents to premiere a 10-string guitar playthrough for the song "Path Of Lies." Check it out below.
Of interesting note, the video showcases guitarist John Strieders playing without a guitar pick, exclusively utilizing a fingerpicking style instead. Additionally, the band has chosen today's premiere as a vehicle with which to tease the announcement of a upcoming EP, "Thoughts From A Stone," slated for release later this year.

These are very much an attempt to capitalise on the success of Maybelline's Baby Lips range, but they're actually much more hydrating and comfortable than their counterparts. The slanted nib is also much easier to apply, while the colour is very much secondary - rather than providing it at the expense of the moisturising ability of the stick. Rimmel have definitely done a great job at creating something that's fun, wearable and universally appealing - even partnering the five balms with five matching nail polishes! Five new shades of Lasting Finish are available as part of the 'Keep Calm' collection that are perfect for summer, providing a flash of colour on nails that will lift any outfit. What more can you ask for £2.99?
The 'Keep Calm' lip balms and polishes will launch in August priced £2.99 each.

JERSEY CITY—Sophomore forward JULIA CASERES (Union, NJ/Union) delivered three assists and one goal—tying the single-season program record with 11 assists—and sophomore midfielder KATLIN VARGO (Edison, NJ/Union Catholic) connected for two goals as the New Jersey City University women's soccer team outshot Fairleigh Dickinson University-Florham, 24-12, and also doubled up the Devils on the scoreboard, winning 4-2 in a non-conference game on Tuesday at the Robert L. McNulty Memorial Soccer Field.
It was NJCU's first-ever win against FDU, who won last year by an identical 4-2 score. The Gothic Knights improved to 8-6 overall with the win and 4-1 at home this year. FDU dropped to 4-6-2 with the loss and 2-2-1 this season against New Jersey Athletic Conference opponents. The Devils lead the all-time series, 4-1.
Caseres contributed to all four NJCU goals. Her 19th goal of the year proved to be the eventual game-winner—her fourth of the year. Now with 49 total points this year (19 goals, 11 assists), she tied the single-season record for assists set by current assistant coach KATIE FEEHAN in 2007. It was also the 12th time in school history that a player has amassed three assists in one game and Caseres, who also had three assists in a win over Medgar Evers College on September 10, becomes just the second player to accomplish the feat at least twice.
Vargo raised her season goal count to nine, scoring the first and fourth NJCU markers while freshman forward GABRIELLE CLARKE (Edison, NJ/J.P. Stevens)—making her first collegiate start—bagged her first career goal, to break a 1-1 tie in the 56th minute. Freshman forward ASHLEY CUNHA (Edison, NJ/Edison) contributed her seventh assist of the season.
With Caseres responsible for 49 points this year, Cunha with 31 and Vargo at 25, all three players have reached the top 10 list for most goals and points in single-season program history.
FDU, coached by former Gothic Knight head coach Kristin Spohn (2005 season), received both of its goals by junior forward Brittany Kanickij (Hamilton, NJ/Steinert)—her 10th and 11th of the year. Junior forward Lora Fink (Hamilton Square, NJ/Pennington Prep) had her eighth assist for FDU. Kanickij had eight of the Devils' 12 shots, and six of the eight on goal.
While NJCU dominated possession in the first half, both defensives limited the number of shots in the period. The Knights had a 6-3 edge in first half shots, but owned a 1-0 lead at the break. Vargo got the Knights on the board at 22:40 with her eighth goal of the year. Caseres made a nifty move to beat a defender on the right endline, and then sent a cross to the left post, before Vargo slipped home a shot.
Both of FDU's goals came during 1-on-1 situations. At 50:11, Fink sent a feed up the middle to create a breakaway for Kanickij, who lofted a shot into the top right corner, tying the game at 1-1.
But Clarke, who had five shots, including several fine scoring chances, would cash in five minutes after FDU tied it. Caseres set up the goal with a feed from the right wing that left Clarke all alone in the box, where she buried a shot into the open left side of the target at 55:34.
Just over two minutes later, Caseres and Cunha teamed up on a goal for the ninth time this year. Cunha aired out a cross from the right endline that skimmed through the box on two hops, directly to a pair of Gothic Knights. Both Caseres and Clarke were positioned on the left post, but it was Caseres who one-timed a shot into the left side of the goal at 57:59.
With NJCU leading 3-1, FDU made it a one-goal game at 76:46 of the second half. After the ball was poked away from an NJCU defender in the defensive third, Kanickij made a move on the left wing, tipping the ball past the defense and the charging keeper, and from the left endline, was able to score on a tough angle from 12 yards out, making it a 3-2 contest.
But NJCU's top three scorers combined as the Knights received a crucial insurance goal four minutes later. Cunha sent a corner kick from the right endline into the box. Seconds later, FDU sophomore keeper Lauren Albrecht (Marlton, NJ/Cherokee) cleared the ball from the goalmouth. But Caseres collected the ball at the top of the box, slipped a pass across the 18 to Vargo, who calmly settled the feed on the right side, and buried a shot from 20 yards out into the top left corner of the net for her ninth goal.
NJCU junior keeper KELLY REILLY (Pennsville, NJ/Pennsville Memorial) made six saves to win for the 24th time in her career. Sophomore Melanie Pierson (Brookside, NJ/Mendham) played the first half in net for FDU, stopping two shots, before being relieved in the second half by Albrecht, who made three saves.
NJCU had an 18-9 advantage in second half shots and a huge 8-1 margin in corner kicks.
The Knights will play the second of five consecutive home games on Sunday, October 11 at 1 p.m. against City College of New York. FDU hosts Misericordia in a MAC Freedom league game on October 10 at 12 p.m.

Hurt Locker Producer Banned From Oscars
Academy doles out harsh punishment after he says in e-mail to pick 'Locker' over 'Avatar.'
This was one impending explosion Jeremy Renner couldn't defuse. The Hurt Locker producer Nicolas Chartier will not be allowed to attend Sunday's Oscars ceremony, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences said today, as a penalty for sending an e-mail in mid-February appealing to Academy members to vote for his film. Chartier — who will still receive an Oscar if the film wins Best Picture — urged voters in his e-mail to support Locker instead of "a $500 million film," referring not-so-subtly to competitor Avatar. Oscar rules ban "direct promotional communications with members," and specifically prohibit any attempt to cast "a negative or derogatory light on a competing film or achievement."

Acne is often present. Acne conglobata is a particularly severe form of acne that can develop during steroid abuse or even after the drug has been discontinued. Infections are a common side effect of steroid abuse because of needle sharing and unsanitary techniques used when injecting the drugs into the skin. These are similar risks to IV drug abusers with increased potential to acquire blood-borne infections such as hepatitis and HIV/AIDS . Skin abscesses may occur at injection sites and may spread to other organs of the body. Endocarditis or an infection of the heart valves is not uncommon.

Do I have to clean out my chicken coop every week? I've heard about the "deep litter" method for raising chickens. What is that?
It's a neat, almost-forgotten way to manage a small flock! Instead of scooping out and replacing chicken coop litter frequently, you allow the manure and bedding material to accumulate and decompose inside the coop. As in compost, beneficial microbes actually help control pathogens, so chickens are less susceptible to diseases. If you manage the deep litter properly, your chickens will have a dry, fluffy and absorbent floor to enjoy, and you will have a happier, healthier flock with less maintenance. Plus, by fall or early spring, your garden will have a nice supply of nutrient-rich compost.
Here's the deep litter method in an eggshell: Start by spreading a 3- to 4-inch layer of clean litter on the floor of the coop. Dry grass clippings or leaves, straw, or wood shavings all work well. About once a week, as the manure accumulates (mostly under the roost), toss on another thin layer of litter. Add a handful of scratch grains or food scraps daily, and your chickens will stir the litter for you, incorporating oxygen to aid decomposition. If you see any caked litter, use a rake or fork to help break up the clumps and redistribute the moisture. Keep the coop ventilated, even in winter. You should not notice any odor of ammonia. If you do, add more litter. To increase absorption, add some clay.
Over the course of a year, the litter will become 8 to 12 inches deep. Fall or early spring is a good time to clean out the coop — but don't remove all of the litter, advises poultry expert Harvey Ussery in The Small-Scale Poultry Flock. Leave a base layer in place to inoculate new material with the established beneficial microbes. If the manure-litter compost you remove is thoroughly decomposed and odorless, you can work it directly into garden beds. If some of the fresher manure hasn't thoroughly decomposed, simply add it to another compost pile.

Hi! Thanks for this article! We're getting ready to get into the chicken business (small flock of about 8 - 10 hens)Wondering if you could use clay kitty litter scattered in the coop to control moisture. Could it hurt the hens in any way? Thanks!!
I am considering raising backyard chickens so I'm reading everything I see regarding that topic. This method appears to be more efficient and a real time-saver. I love the smell of a good compost after it starts breaking down - so why wouldn't the chickens (smile)!
I have been using this method since May and haven't had any smell at all. I also us diatomatious earth in my coop along with the shavings.
As a gardener, I would add the manure compost in the fall after the garden is done. It will have time to rot more all winter. DH and I already put bird manure in the garden in the fall.

Nothing Illegal at Vancouver AIDS Clinic; Police: Having Nurses Teach Drug Users Safe Injection Breaks No Law
April 19, 2002
There's nothing illegal about nurses observing drug addicts inject cocaine and heroin at the Dr. Peter Centre for people with HIV and AIDS, said Vancouver police spokesperson Sarah Bloor. "Nurses are not injecting these individuals with the drug," Constable Bloor said last Friday. "They're teaching them about proper usage of intravenous needles. There's no criminal connection, so we wouldn't be seeking any action."Adapted from:
The new counseling service at the West End drop-in clinic was disclosed last Thursday at a news conference where AIDS Vancouver and other groups endorsed a report calling for federally funded safe injection facilities in Vancouver and other Canadian cities. Maxine Davis, executive director of the Dr. Peter Centre, said nurses have observed about ten patients injecting drugs at the center, some several times, since December.
The center is funded by the Dr. Peter AIDS Foundation, named after Dr. Peter Jepson-Young, who died of AIDS in 1992. The drop-in center -- which offers a range of services from art therapy to physiotherapy -- is used daily by about 150 people with HIV/AIDS. Mark Virgin, a lawyer who chairs the foundation, said the center has no plans to open a safe injection center for drug users -- something advocated by the Canadian HIV-AIDS Legal Network, which called for facilities across the country within a year.
Last September, a report prepared for a meeting of federal and provincial health ministers recommended a feasibility study on "establishing a scientific medical research project regarding a supervised injection site in Canada." The report pointed to estimates that 125,000 Canadians are now using injection drugs. It also warned the direct and indirect costs of HIV/AIDS spread by injection drugs could cost $8.7 billion (US$5.48 billion) over six years, if current trends continue. Health Canada spokesperson Andrew Swift confirmed the federal government has made no commitment on supervised injection sites. "We think it's important to continue the dialogue among the stakeholders," he said.

John McDonogh Senior High School's preliminary school performance score for the 2012-13 school year is calculated to be about 9.3 out of 150, according to an official associated with the school.
An "F" is given to established charters schools that receive a score of 50 or below. However, any school that is in its first two years of operation -- as is the case with John McDonogh -- receives a "T," rather than a traditional letter grade.
"I think we all agree that we need to do better, and that's what we're focused on this year," chief operating officer Chris Lozier said at a board meeting Tuesday night.
John McDonogh is one of four New Orleans schools with a single-digit preliminary school performance score. The NET Charter High School also has a preliminary score of 9.3. ReNEW Accelerated High School's West Bank campus has a preliminary score of 2, while ReNEW Accelerated High School's City Park campus has a preliminary score of 6.1.
The NET school and the two ReNEW schools are alternative schools, which means their students often have a special set of circumstances or needs that prevent them from attending conventional schools.
Final performance scores won't be released until October.
Lozier presented the preliminary numbers to Future Is Now: New Orleans, the board that directly oversees John McDonogh. During the meeting, Lozier added that the scoring process is different for turnaround schools, and that the metrics negatively affected the school's score.
Since John McDonogh is a turnaround -- Future Is Now: New Orleans started operating the school last year -- the score does not factor in the school's graduation rates. Had the school factored in the 2012 cohort graduation rates and the 2012 graduation rate, the score would likely be in the 30-50 range, Lozier added.
The other two metrics used for calculating the score are 2013 ACT scores and 2013 End-of-Course scores. Any ACT score below 18 receives zero points for the school, and schools receive zero points for scores of "Fair" or below on the end-of-course metric.
"Regardless of which metrics we use, we want to get better at all four of them," Lozier said in an interview with The Lens after the meeting.
During the meeting, John McDonogh Principal Marvin Thompson spent most of his time talking about ways in which the school planned to instill remediation programs for students who come to the school already performing several grades behind.
"When we talk broadly about performance numbers and data there is a danger in it because there's so many underlying layers," Thompson said.
"Multiplication is taught in the third grade, and when I'm looking at a ninth grader who can't do algebra because he can't multiply, that's not my algebra teacher's fault," he added. "It's her issue, but it's not her fault."
The first step to improvement, Thompson said, is to evaluate the students several times a year to find out what skills they're missing, then implement remediation programs specifically tailored to improving students' skills so they can rise to current reading and math levels.
"We've got to break those things out for them," Thompson said.
Academically, officials will focus on pretesting the students in math and English to find out how they should spend remediation time and more rigorous ACT prep classes, Thompson said. He added that officials have dedicated time to the school day just to focus on remediation classes.
Some other policies discussed include strict tardiness and attendance policies, holding students accountable for conduct policies and better support systems that involve parental input.
Angela Kinlaw, the school's new ninth grade principal, said she was providing several of those support systems for the incoming freshmen in an attempt to make them want to learn and stay in school.
"The expectation level is increasing, but it's really important that you put in the interventions and support systems to help students achieve those expectations," Kinlaw said.
"You can really intervene within a year's time frame and see a great difference when you do that kind of intervention work," she said
In other news, Thompson said the school met its enrollment goal of 370 students. The board voted to elect member Charles Fenet as secretary and John Hope as treasurer.
The board also amended bylaws to allow members to meet once every other month. The next board meeting is scheduled for Oct. 18 at 10:30 a.m.
Board members Clarence Robinson, John Hope, Vaughn Fauria and Judith Dangerfield were present. Board member Kenneth Gill was absent, as was Future Is Now Schools Chief Executive Officer Steve Barr.
This story was reported by The Lens, a nonprofit online newsroom serving New Orleans.

I'm having a tiny bit of regret regarding my choice of using the White Fine Rib for the back. My reasoning was that I wanted the wearer to be able to look down and see the Waverine Print. But when I handed the top to MG, she assumed that the white was the front.Too late to do anything about it now but if I run in to a similar situation, I'll put the solid on the front.
As far as the fabrics, I was a little concerned about the how the waverine design would hold up since it's printed on top of the interlock. So far, it still looks like new and it's been through the wash multiple times. I'll post an update at the end of winter to let you know how it's doing. I love the white fine rib. It's so soft! The recovery is okay. I will definitely be using it again to make tops out of.

I can't remember why, but Rachel explained to us that the chicken dance has actual lyrics. I guess A.J. got a picture of me doing the chicken dance while making sushi.
While everyone waited, they folded animal origami sheets sent to us by our friends on the West Coast, Molly & Caroline. I gave up after trying a giraffe- I'm awful at origami. Everyone else seemed to be successful.
Beforehand, I made two types of cookies: sugar cookies with royal icing, and coconut date macaroons. One was awfully sugary sweet, the other had no sweeteners added and was amazingly tasty. Both sets were devoured quickly. What's special about the sugar cookies, though, was the shape.

Business travelers could benefit significantly over the next decade from two little-noticed appropriations Congress approved this fall.
One is designed to help speed rail service between New York and Boston. The other could spur development of ultra-high-speed, magnetic-levitation trains that would be faster than flying on certain routes.
For the New York-to-Boston rail line, Congress approved $125 million to begin an overhaul designed to get the 231-mile trip down to less than three hours. The trip now takes about 4 1/2 hours on most trains. The funding is about one-fourth of what will be needed over the next five years to achieve the three-hour trips.
