It's finally November which can only mean one thing…holiday shopping season is here. For many retailers this represents the biggest quarter of the year in terms of profit. For others it means a chance to boost lacking Q3 2013 sales. In 2013 holiday shopping is not only influenced by traditional media such as newspaper ads, catalogs, and television ads; but it is increasingly becoming more impacted by social media.
A report released yesterday by Adobe showed that 30 percent of consumers polled said they plan to increase their online shopping, 36 percent said that social media sites such as Facebook will play a role in purchasing decisions. Though only 2 percent of holiday online shopping transactions are expected to come from social, retail brands will be ponying up on advertising during Q4, especially in a shortened season.
Cost per click ads on Facebook are thought to be increasing due to higher demand. Last year CPC increased a whopping 42% during the holidays. The challenges? Standing out from all the other competitors and being able to measure the influence of the Facebook ads.
Other major takeaways from Adobe's study:
- Cyber Monday this year is projected to be the biggest shopping day in history, pulling in $2.27 billion.
- Thanksgiving will become a bigger shopping day, and could eclipse Black Friday in 5 years. Spending is projected to rise on that day 21 percent year-over-year.
- More consumers will turn to online shopping, lured by cheaper prices and free shipping.
- 28 percent of consumers plan to rely more on mobile for holiday shopping this year.
- Toys and hobbies will be the biggest shopping categories on Cyber Monday.
How will your company or brand be changing their social media strategy for the holidays?

Allen Theater
Renovated in 2011, Allen Theater is used for All-School Assemblies, special events such as Berkshire's All-School Read speaker series, as well as the School's theater, dance and musical performances. The theater includes seating for about 450 students and faculty, a main stage, a video and visual control booth, high-tech lighting, and a green room for performers and guests.
The adjoined Allen House serves as a boys' dormitory, and is also home to the Barbara Kenefick Center for Learning (KCL), WBSL Radio, and Berkshire's film department. The building was designed by Berkshire graduate and architect, Steve Nelson '63.
Arthur C. Chase Sugar House
The Arthur C. Chase Sugar House was built in 2001 and is home to Berkshire's Maple Syrup Corporation, which annually produces maple syrup from the sap collected from trees around campus. According to early records of the area, maple syrup was being produced on the Berkshire grounds in the mid-1700s and emerged as a school activity under legendary teacher Art Chase, who began his career here in 1937. The syrup produced at Berkshire is available for purchase through the school bookstore, but is often shared among friends over pancakes.
Bellas/Dixon Math and Science Center
A dramatic 48,000-square-foot academic facility that features six math classrooms, eight science classroom labs, a 100-seat teaching auditorium, department offices and Berkshire's Advanced Math/Science Research lab equipped with state-of-the-art scientific research tools, Bellas/Dixon Math and Science Center was built in 2011. In keeping with the school's commitment to sustainability, Bellas/Dixon received a Gold certification by the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System.
The building is sited where historic Memorial Hall once stood, and through careful design consideration, the new space clearly echoes its predecessor. The location also connects the campus center in new ways to the mountain setting to the west. Classroom terraces on that side extend learning into the landscape. These include rain gardens that teach students about the role of plantings in storm water management and infiltration. Native plantings eliminate the need for supplemental irrigation. New views up into the mountain understory connect lessons inside with life outside.
The Bellas/Dixon Math and Science Center, which is named in honor of Rick Bellas and Tom Dixon, two longtime Berkshire School faculty members, was designed by Centerbrook Architects, which received the top award for Environmental Architecture in education from the 2013 Starnet Design Awards.
Benson Commons
Members of the Berkshire community are provided three meals per day— breakfast, lunch and dinner— at the Benson Commons Dining Hall. In addition to regular meals and special events,
Benson Commons hosts a weekly advisee lunch and community dinners (twice per week in the fall and once per week in the spring), Berkshire traditions that encourage relationship building through a family-style meal.
Berkshire Hall
Berkshire Hall, the school's main academic building built in 1930, reopened in 2008 after a year of restoration. Sitting at the base of Mt. Everett, the nearly 40,000-square-foot building houses academic classrooms as well as the School's administrative offices, including the Head of School's.
Designed by Finegold Alexander Architects (Boston, Mass.), Berkshire Hall features large, bright classrooms and incorporates state-of-the-art technology throughout the building. In addition, Berkshire Hall features a restored Fentress Reading Room, the School's first language lab, and the multi-purpose Great Room which includes an exterior terrace.
In 2011, Berkshire Hall received the Paul E. Tsongas Award.
Dixon Observatory
Located on the southeastern corner of Stewart Pitch, the Dixon Observatory houses state-of-the-art equipment that gives students and teachers the opportunity to make detailed observations of both bodies within the solar system as well as deep space objects. In addition, the tracking mount and CCD camera allows students to conduct advanced astro-imaging of faint galaxies and nebulae.
The flagship of the observatory is the 14" Meade LX200GPS telescope with equatorial wedge. This telescope has the ability to identify and track stars and other celestial objects across the night sky over long periods of time given an accurate polar alignment (aligning the mount with the celestial pole). This enables long exposure astrophotography, necessary for recording faint objects. Imaging is done using a Starlight Xpress-H35 B&W CCD Camera, cooled to 20deg below ambient temperature to produce high quality, low-noise images. Color pictures are obtained by combining photos taken through transparent, red, green and blue filters, as well as specialty H-Alpha and Oxygen 3 filters.
The entire observatory can be remote-controlled from any location, using The SkyX Professional, which can track and display the position of everything from fast moving satellites to faint galaxies. The software interfaces with all of the various observatory hardware including: the telescope, dome, imaging and guide camera, and ancillary equipment. Having everything in one application makes control easy. The observatory also hosts a selection of high quality wide-field eyepieces and an image intensifier device that uses night-vision technology to boost the contrast and brightness of faint objects, such as nebulae and galaxies for visual observation.
Other programs at the observatory include an all-sky camera, which records video of the night sky to hunt for meteors and fireballs (large, bright, fast moving meteors). This is part of larger program run by Sandia National Labs, New Mexico State University and Space Coast Intelligent Solutions, who have country-wide coverage in order to measure specifics like the speed, size and trajectory of fireballs and better understand the science behind them.
The observatory and equipment were gifts of Cynthia and Tom Dixon in 2000. Tom Dixon held a number of roles during his tenure at Berkshire School from 1961-1976 and 1980-2000, including science teacher, Director of Technology and Dean of Students. He and his wife, Cynthia, a music teacher and the director of the equestrian team at Berkshire, shared a love of the arts and astronomy.
Berkshire has 10 dorms, ranging in size and feel. Dorms are organized by "vertical housing," which means that every dorm has students from each grade, allowing upperclassmen to serve as role models. Faculty apartments adjoin each hall and two senior prefects provide leadership throughout life on campus.
Kennard Visual Arts Center
Students at Berkshire have a broad selection of arts courses to choose from, in the areas of both visual and performing art. Classes include studio art, ceramics, photography, as well as digital art, music and improvisation. Introductory to advanced options are available, allowing students to explore new mediums or cultivate existing talent.
The Kennard Visual Arts Center opened in the fall of 2013 providing state-of-the-art classrooms for Berkshire extensive visual arts program, including: expansive new Studio Art and Ceramics classrooms; a new classroom for Digital Art, Digital Photography and Digital Music; a digital printing lab; a Sculpture Studio; department offices and other support facilities. In addition, The Warren Family Gallery showcases student artwork as well as exhibits from alumni and local artists. This two-story 14,708-square-foot building houses all the visual arts programs under one roof.
Award-winning Boston architectural firm Finegold Alexander & Associates worked closely with the Art Department faculty to develop a space that not only meets current and future program needs, but also celebrates the fundamental role of the arts at Berkshire.
Geier Library
The newly renovated, 16,800-square-foot Geier Library houses an up-to-date print collection of fiction, nonfiction and reference books, as well as exceptional online resources, magazines, newspapers, journals and DVDs, providing students with the necessary resources to complete academic work and to pursue personal interests.
Centrally located on campus, Geier Library has more than a dozen Mac computers with a wide range of software applications and three centrally located charging stations to help our students stay connected to the information they need. A workstation with a networked printer/copier is available for student and faculty use. In conjunction with the Information Technology Department, the library also circulates iPads, laptops, Kindles and offers noise-cancelling headphones and graphing calculators for in-library use.
Originally built in 1954 as a gymnasium and later converted into a library (1983), the restored Geier Library was designed by Finegold Alexander Architects of Boston, Mass. In addition to the open, bright design, Geier Library serves as an exhibition space for student artwork and a gathering place for students to study and relax.
Jackman L. Stewart Athletic Center
The Jackman L. Stewart Athletic Center features two ice rinks, including one Olympic-sized sheet with an 800-seat capacity, 14 locker rooms, athletic offices, an athletic training room, meeting spaces and the Picotte Family Fitness Center. One rink converts to a field house with four tennis courts that can also be used for community-wide events.
Music Center
Soffer Athletic Center
The Soffer Athletic Center opened its doors in the fall of 2016 and is home to Berkshire's new squash center, a facility that features 10 squash courts, training areas, locker rooms and meeting and office spaces. In addition, the 50,000 square-foot facility features two basketball and volleyball courts, a dance studio, a 25-foot climbing wall and a fully-equipped weight training area.
The Soffer Athletic Center was designed by Moser Pilon Nelson Architects (Wethersfield, Conn.)
Solar Field
Berkshire's two-megawatt, eight-acre solar field is located on the east side of campus and produces as much as 40-percent of the School's energy supply. The solar field was part of an energy master plan developed by students in Berkshire's Sustainability Program and, in 2012, was the largest solar installation in the state of Massachusetts and the largest operating solar facility of its kind at any private secondary school in the U.S.
The project developer PowerPlay Solar Development, constructed the field in collaboration with Spire Solar Systems. The privately-financed project features two different solar devices; fixed-tilt photovoltaic (PV) panels and single-axis tracking PV panels with room to add other solar demo-technologies in the future.
According to PowerPlay Solar, each year Berkshire's solar field removes nearly 2,650,000 pounds of carbon dioxide, 1,650 pounds of nitrogen oxide, and 4,400 pounds of sulfur dioxide from the atmosphere—or the equivalent use of 1.5 million pounds of coal annually. The project also features an energy investigations laboratory allowing students to analyze different solar technologies and monitor the output of the solar field per school building in terms of kilowatt hours of energy production, and pounds of carbon savings.
Rovensky Student Center
The Rovensky Student Center is the hub of student life at Berkshire. The building includes Benson Commons dining hall, where students, faculty and staff gather three times a day to eat meals together, as well as Shawn's Place—a student lounge area with a ping pong table, foosball, and snack bar. In addition, the School's Music Center, Post Office, bookstore and laundry services are found here.
Additionally, there is an adjacent outdoor gathering space that features a large lawn, benches and a barbecue pit.

No. 10 Women's Gymnastics Travels To The Pacific Northwest
Jan. 22, 2001
This week's action
The No. 10-ranked Stanford women's gymnastics team hits the road this week, traveling to the Pacific Northwest for a Pac-10 dual meet at Washington on Sun., Jan. 28. The Huskies began the year ranked No. 16 in the GymInfo Preseason Coaches Poll, however, they have not scored high enough to remain in the Top 25. On January 28, 2000, Stanford rode a second-place beam finish by Jen Exaltacion and a third-place showing on floor from Abby Gair to edge the Huskies 195.050-194.750 at Burnham Pavilion.
The Cook File
Stanford head coach Mark Cook is now in his fourth year at the helm of the Cardinal women's gymnastics program. In his first three seasons, Cook has guided Stanford to the 1998 Pac-10 Championship and an apperance in the 1999 NCAA Championships. Cook has produced the Card's first-ever individual National Champion, three Regional Champions and seven All-Americans, while Stanford gymnasts have established nearly every school record under his tenure.
A Cardinal Tint to the National Rankings
Stanford's high score of 195.300, established at the season-opening Super Six Challenge, gives the Cardinal the No. 10 ranking in the country and the No. 2 spot in the West Region. By event, the Card is ranked No. 3 nationally on vault, is tied for fifth on beam and is tied for 10th on bars. Individually, four different Stanford gymnasts enjoy national rankings. Senior Jen Exaltacion, despite battling illness during the UCLA meet, is tied for 13th on beam and ranks fourth in the West region with a 9.900. Freshman Caroline Fluhrer is tied for 13th in the all-around (No. 5 in the West), tied for 16th on bars (7th - West) and tied for 15th on vault (6th - West). Robin Phelps has a 9.900 high score on bars in her freshman campaign, which is tied for the 16th-best mark in the nation (7th - West). Finally, rookie Lindsay Wing has hit a 9.925 on vault, tying her for the best in the West and No. 4 nationally. Wing also is tied for 18th in the country in the all-around (9th - West).
UCLA Recap
Stanford opened its' 2001 home schedule last Friday with a meet against now-No. 1 UCLA at Maples Pavilion. The competition, which UCLA rallied to win 196.925-194.675, featured five 2000 Summer Olympians and drew 2,150 spectators. Down by .025 after the first two rotations, the Bruins staged a comeback in the third. Kristen Parker and Jamie Dantzscher posted consecutive perfect 10's on floor to offset a strong Stanford effort on beam, and the Cardinal could not rally in the fourth rotation. Stanford jumped out to a slim edge after two rotations thanks to Lindsay Wing, who won the vault title with a 9.925, and 9.900 performances on bars by both Robin Phelps and Caroline Fluhrer.
A Super Start
Stanford opened the 2001 season in impressive fashion, taking third place - just 5/100ths behind - at the prestigious Super Six Challenge in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. No. 5 Alabama and No. 2 Georgia shared the meet title with a score of 195.300, barely edging out the 195.300 posted by the Cardinal. All six teams at the meet were ranked in the Top 10 of the GymInfo Preseason Coaches' Poll, as Stanford defeated No. 3 Michigan (194.475), No. 10 Florida (194.425) and No. 9 Penn State (193.275). As a team, the Cardinal took second on both vault and bars, finished third on beam and tied for fifth on floor.
Stories from the Road
The meet at Washington marks Stanford's first road dual meet of the 2001 season. In such competitions last year, the Cardinal finished 2-2, posting impressive wins at Boise State and Pac-10 foe Oregon State while falling at UCLA and Penn State. The Card's first meet of the 2001 campaign was in Alabama's home gym at the Super Six Challenge, where Stanford took third.
On a Wing and a Prayer
Freshman all-around competitor Lindsay Wing has launched her Stanford career in fine fashion. A four-year member of the U.S. National Team, Wing has competed in two meets and has two individual titles - in two different events. At the Super Six Challenge, she scored a 9.850 to tie with three others for beam honors. Last Friday against top-ranked UCLA, she tallied a 9.925 mark to capture the vault crown over All-American Mohini Bhardwaj. The 9.925 also represents the top 2001 vault score in the West Region and the fourth-best national mark.
Exaltacion Excellence
Senior Jen Exaltacion continues to have a strong start to her final campaign, fighting through illness to finish second on beam against UCLA with a career-high tying 9.900. She also scored a 9.850 on bars and has yet to score lower than a 9.700 on any event this year. At the Super Six Challenge, featuring some of the nation's top gymnasts, Exaltacion finished in a tie for fourth in the all-around with a 38.950 mark.
Vaulting Over the Competition
Stanford held its No. 3 national ranking on vault by scoring a 49.100 to win the event against UCLA. Five freshmen had the five top scores against the Bruins - including Lindsay Wing's title mark of 9.925 - as Cardinal gymnasts occupied three of the top five spots. Wing was backed by Caroline Fluhrer (9.875), Robin Phelps (9.825), Shelly Goldberg (9.750) and Lise L�veill� (9.725).
Passing the Bar
The Cardinal enjoyed another strong meet on bars against UCLA, matching the defending national champions with a 49.175. Stanford, ranked No. 10 nationally on the event, received a pair of 9.9's from freshmen Caroline Flurher and Robin Phelps, a 9.850 from senior Jen Exaltacion and a 9.800 from rookie Lindsay Wing. In the ten scores used to compute team totals over the first two meets, the Card has accumulated eight scores of 9.800 or better.
Balancing Act
All five of Stanford's scores on beam against UCLA were a 9.800 or better, propelling the Cardinal into the No. 5 national ranking on the event. Senior Jen Exaltacion placed second with a 9.900, while Caroline Fluhrer, Katy Herbert, Lise L�veill� and Robin Phelps all notched a 9.800.
An All-American Trio
Stanford features a pair of returning All-Americans in junior Katy Herbert and junior Jennifer Exaltacion. With a 9.863 performance on beam at the 2000 NCAA Championships, Herbert placed third and earned First Team All-America accolades. Exaltacion was named to the Second Team on beam and in the all-around with 9.85 and 39.225 scores, respectively. Junior Kristen Jensen is just one year removed from her 1999 First Team All-America performance on bars.

Cost Effective Hotel Buffets In Singapore
When speaking of the cost effective or budget hotel buffets in Singapore, it is important to remember the difference between the budget options and the cheap ones. The latter is known for poor quality of service and is the top reason for many people to avoid. The former is about buffets that provide good quality of service with attractive menus for an affordable price. Check into one of these hotel buffets in Singapore if you wish to have a delicious day out on a budget.
Crystal Jade Kitchen
Crystal Jade Kitchen is known for its Holland V special steamboat restaurant. The place is well-kept and hygiene is taken care of. Ambiance is of the fine quality and does the job of prepping up for a good round of munchies. The sauces on offer are clean, homemade and fresh. The unlimited soft drink supply comes as a tip from the service team on its toes. Although the menu lacks variety in meat and the soups are bare.
Chicken Up
Chicken Up is widely known as one of the expensive buffets in the city. Otherwise, the weekday chicken buffet is the best option it provides for budget diners. The beef will come up just $7 short of being the best budget option. Surprisingly, the chicken buffet features a variety of flavors like crispy, sweet and spicy. These chicken pieces are full with drumstick and wing. The chicken stew of Korean style and unlimited supply of fries are other budget highlights for this buffet.
The House of Steamboat
House of Steamboat provides the best soups in both taste and variety for a budget price. The No-MSG soups are prepared specially by the chef. Other attractions here include the stunning barbeque. Both steamboats and barbeques can be obtained for a decent amount of money. Vegetables can be obtained by self-service and unlimited meat can be ordered from the menu. All fried foods are free on offer.
Coca Restaurant
It is a restaurant that is well-established and well-known for its Suki steamboat dining of Thai style. They have three branches in different parts of Singapore. A good option for a budget feast is the lunch which can be obtained for under $26. The food provided taste fantastically with their special Coca sauce. The dinner includes flower crabs, oysters and prawns, but it is a little pricier than the lunch menu.

Looking After
The purposes of the Dartmoor National Park Authority are to conserve and enhance the natural beauty, wildlife and cultural heritage of the National Park; and to promote opportunities for the understanding and enjoyment of the area's special qualities by the public.
Careful management is needed to ensure that these purposes do not conflict with each other. Your first contact with a National Park employee whilst visiting Dartmoor might well be by meeting one of our community based Rangers. Their key role on a daily basis is providing a vital communications link between the Authority, local residents and visitors.
The Authority employs specialists in ecology, woodlands, archaeology, historic buildings, information and interpretation as well as planners and administrators. They are supported by seasonal information assistants, guides, voluntary wardens and other volunteers engaged in practical work.
We all need to act with Moor Care to safeguard Dartmoor for the future. The National Park Authority relies on the co-operation of all who live, work and visit Dartmoor to help safeguard its special qualities for the present and future generations.

In order to ensure that our customers can receive support around the clock, we have in-house technical support teams around the world. Last week, we spoke with Linley Cram about tech support in APAC. This week, we pay a visit to the EMEA team in our Brighton, UK office to speak with Rebeca Martin.
How long have you worked at Dyn and what position do you hold?
I have worked at Dyn for nearly two years. I started as a Technical Support Representative and now I am the only Senior rep in the EMEA Technical Support team.
What's the Dyn UK office like?
We have recently moved to bigger premises here in Brighton. Working for Dyn doesn't feel like you're working in a traditional office environment. It's a cool office and a relaxed atmosphere.
What's the team like?
Most of my team are based in the United States in our Manchester, NH headquarters, but we also have team members in the UK & Australia. It can be challenging because we're working within different time zones, but we are a good team - all working together in one clear direction.
What was your favourite experience working with a customer?
One of the things I like about my job is working with customers; you get to experience and deal with lot of interesting cases. I remember one case in particular where we had a customer based in Brazil using Dyn's Remote Access service. The customer was having difficulty with an update. We were able to walk through it together step by step and I helped him get his service up and running. As a result, the customer was able to reinstate the webcam he used to monitor his elderly mother who was unwell at the time. He was so grateful that I helped him over the weekend. It's those types of cases that are your favourite because we have a real purpose and that's to help customers.
How is it working in the UK for an American company?
Based on my experiences within my home country, Spain, it is different because you usually work longer hours. Time zones can have an impact but working for a global company gives me a different perspective and makes my role very interesting.
Have you noticed any differences in how we work? / Do you find that users in UK have the same or different problems than those in other regions?
I am dealing with different nationalities throughout Europe, Middle-East and African countries. Everyone, more or less, has the same questions, but the way they raise cases is different.
Do you think language barrier can be an issue because there are so many within EMEA?
Yes that's a good point, sometimes it can be difficult in countries where the English language isn't used daily. You can have cases that are lost in translation; for me, this isn't a problem but rather an opportunity to improve and gives me a wider perspective on our products being used globally.
What do you do when you're not at Dyn?
I am an artist, but that feels like a big thing to say. It's a passion rather than a hobby. In the last two years I have been specialising in working with paper, in particular, paper flowers and I also make jewellery and furniture.
Last May I did a big exhibition and created and huge installation made from paper flowers. It was the biggest piece of art I had created so far. Last month I was approached by Dyn to purchase my piece for our new office here in Brighton. It was a dream come true because I now get to view my piece everyday as I come to work.
What do you think makes Dyn's customer experience the best in the industry?
My team have one goal and that is to help customers. Ultimately our job is to help human beings on the other end of the phone.

The Lower East Side has a block named for a congressman who was a paid agent of Stalin's secret police. Meanwhile, the city is considering naming a street after one of New York's greatest ballplayers.
Guess which is attracting controversy.
It's not the section of Pitt Street named for Sam Dickstein, the creator of the House Committee on Un-American Activities. From that perch, Dickstein pursued those he considered Nazi sympathizers (not all were), as well as anti-Stalin communists. Secret files that came to light after the collapse of the Soviet Union show that while in Congress, Dickstein was in the pay of the NKVD, forerunner of the KGB.
But while Dickstein's street elicits only yawns, there's a real dispute over the effort to name one for Willie Mays. One councilman proposes a Willie Mays Drive near the long-demolished Polo Grounds, where the Say Hey Kid once roamed center field. But another, backed by Mays' son, wants a Willie Mays Place closer to where the Giant (and later Met) actually lived.
There's a simple solution. Keep Samuel Dickstein Plaza — but add a nice hammer and sickle so passers-by know what he stood for. And give Willie Mays both streets. If a congressman on Stalin's payroll can have one, surely a Hall of Famer who played for two New York teams deserves two.

Pungi is a traditional folk music instruments used by the snake charmers of India to make snakes dance to their tunes
New Delhi, India (PRWEB) December 16, 2011
India shopping store ShalinIndia has launched the pungi's music instrument on the online marketplaces. Pungi is a traditional folk music instrument used by the snake charmers of India to make snakes dance to their tunes. This flute like music instrument has intrigued westerners. They have often wondered how snake charmers make the deadly cobras sway to the tune of their pungi music. Actually the cobra is deaf to the snake charmer's pipe, but follows the visual cue of the moving pipe and it can sense the ground vibrations from the snake charmer's tapping.
As a seller of Indian culture products, we are happy to do a commercial launch of the pungi, on the global online marketplaces. Two months ago we began to test market this Indian music instrument. When we found that a good number of people were not only attracted, they had also begun to buy these pungis, we decided to launch them on a commercial scale.
"Besides having clear business goals, we are trying to sell Pungis to achieve certain social objectives too. Snake charmers are no longer allowed to catch snakes. So this community is now looking for alternative sources of income. Selling their music instruments is one of them. Most of the snake charmers make their own Pungis using dried and hollow gourd. If we
succeed in achieving scale economies, we would be able to buy pungis from large number of snake charmers", said Shalini Verma.
We have launched two varieties of Pungis, one made from gourd, and the other made from coconut shell. Snake charmers generally use pungis made from gourd. However, this is very delicate and risks breaking at the joints with the flute like pipe. Pungis made from gourd often produce better quality sound than the one made with coconut shell. Pungis made from coconut shell are stronger and last longer. However, they produce inferior quality sound and are used only by the hobbyists.
ShalinIndia, one of the premier online India shopping stores, specializes in selling handmade gifts, silver and gemstone jewelry, clothing accessories like men scarfs and scarves for women to customers around the world. Through an arrangement with Amazon, ShalinIndia keeps its inventory in five countries US, UK, France, Germany, and Japan. This enables ShalinIndia to reduce not only delivery time but also shipping costs for its customers. ShalinIndia has maintained consistently high feedback ratings from its online customers.

Kim Kardashian showed off her bump and cleavage in a sexy nude-hued and lace jumpsuit when she attended the 5th Annual LACMA Film + Art Gala in Los Angeles on Saturday. The 35-year-old stood out among the celebrity-filled crowd as she tenderly placed a hand upon her belly, vamping it up in a long black blazer with a glossy lapel and delicate lace hem.
Kim's jet black hair was slicked back into a chic 'do, putting her famous and flawless face front and centre. Her glowing complexion shone with foundation, while plenty of mascara and edgy, dark red lips rounded off the look. Glamming up the already head turning look was a thick and sparkling choker.
|Simply stunning: Naomi Campbell wowed in an intricate and semi-sheer white floor length gown
Kim posted a snap on Instagram of her, Naomi Campbell and famous Italian fashion designer Riccardo Tisci. On top of Kim and Naomi, other stars to steal the fashion spotlight included Reese Witherspoon, Salma Hayek, and Gwyneth Paltrow.
|Turning heads: The reality star's low-cut and lace number put her cleavage on show
|Almost revealing all: Kim's outfit was certainly a daring take on maternity wear, as the outfit almost left nothing to the imagination
|Simply chic: Reese Witherspoon bared her shoulders in a classic, floorlength black dress
|Making an impression! The catwalk queen worked her physique in the stunning and bold number

Singer Seal is refusing to remove his wedding ring after his split from Heidi Klum because it will forever serve as a token of respect for his former partner.
The Kiss From a Rose star and his wife of eight years stunned the world when they confirmed reports of a split at the weekend (22Jan12), but the Brit admits there is still a lot of love between them.
In a taped interview with Ellen DeGeneres, which will air on her show on Tuesday (24Jan12), Seal says, "I am still wearing my ring. I think it's just pretty much a token of how I feel about this woman. We have eight years. Eight wonderful years together.
"Just because we have decided to separate doesn't necessarily mean you take off your ring and you're no longer connected to that person. We will be connected in many ways 'til the rest of our lives (sic)... through our children and also through this tremendous admiration, respect and love that we have for each other.
"Will we wear the ring for the rest of our lives? Who knows? But right now it feels really comfortable on my hand, so I have no intentions of taking it off anytime soon."
Meanwhile, Seal admits he was as shocked as everyone else when he realized the marriage was over.
He adds, "You go into these things with the greatest intentions when you say 'I do' and you say 'til death do us part'. Those vows hold value. They are not just words. These things happen. You just grow apart after a while. You try and you work through it.
"We still very much love each other... It's a shame. To say that neither of us were grieving would be an out and out lie. I think the operative here is that we are civil to each other and we both have a tremendous amount of respect and love and we try and do this with as much dignity as we possibly can."

As I noted last month, Caitlin painstakingly prepared a beautiful array of signs, favors, and gifts for the guests of our wedding. Among the items, she created over twenty-five welcome bags, each adorned with a hand-painted welcome tag and boasting a sixteen-page booklet of our favorite recipes.
The booklet featured line drawings of several photos from this blog, and guided our guests through meaningful recipes that the two of us had shared. Among the recipes, there was one for Gooey Butter Cake, a St. Louis original, and an ode to the city where we first met; Lemon Yogurt Cake, a recipe that featured that lemon flavor I love; Sea Salt Caramels, a reminder of our trip to San Francisco together; White Peach Italian Ice, a summer treat that capped the end to a barbeque Caitlin and I hosted, and a tribute to an ice served by one of my favorite dessert shops growing up; and this recipe Continue reading

The focus of this work is to investigate the genetic mechanisms by which key aspects of tree growth and development are controlled at the molecular level. Our primary goal is to add value to fine hardwood tree species by genetically engineering them to express genes that impart commercially and environmentally beneficial traits.
Research projects include efforts to insert genes that affect the onset of maturation and the production of flowers, insect resistance, and herbicide tolerance, among others. Researchers are also trying to identify genes that regulate the transition from sapwood to heartwood and the formation of figured wood, which is highly valued but rarely occurs in nature. We seek ways to initiate the formation of figured wood and to clonally propagate trees exhibiting figure, and other useful traits, to create higher valued wood products.
Population genetics research seeks to understand the link between genetic relationships and physical distance in the hardwood forest. The role that increased forest fragmentation and harvesting plays in genetic diversity and its effects on variability are important ecological issues.
Tissue Culture research is focused on developing protocols for adventitious shoot regeneration, rooting, micropropation, somatic embryogenesis, genetic transformation, and clonal propagation. These protocols are used to develop disease- or pest-resistance, and induction- or control-of-flowering in fine hardwood species. Species of interest include black walnut, black cherry, butternut, northern red oak, and green, white, pumpkin, and black ash.
This research will allow germplasm improvement, which in turn will lead to improved hardwood tree characteristics. These improvements may include increased resistance or tolerance to disease, insects, and other environmental stressors.

For us, it has come to define a style of riding that is all about getting off the beaten path and exploring remote mountain ranges in search of the perfect snow and terrain. This season we returned to this core principle of Boondockers. We threw out everything we thought we knew about riding areas and set off in pursuit of unknown locations and deep powder. The result was a winter of endless fresh tracks and the most incredible boondocking we have ever captured on film. Intended for audiences of all ages.

Grey's Anatomy Scoop on Katherine Heigl, Alex's Brother & MoreSteve Marsi at . Comments
There's been plenty of drama to keep us occupied in her absence, but with the second half of the season in full swing, Grey's Anatomy fans are wondering about Katherine Heigl.
What is her status? Is she ever returning to the show? When she is back, will she just leave at the end of the season? According to EW, she's due back on set later this month.
That means we probably won't see Izzie again until late April, and coincidentally, that's right around the time a new, special patient will check into Seattle Grace: Alex's brother.
Sources say Grey's Anatomy is currently casting the role of Karev's estranged sibling - the first member of the character's supposedly troubled family we will meet in six seasons.
The next round of Izzie-Alex drama should be particularly interesting.
There's some ugly family history, from what we've gathered, including an abusive dad, and it will be fun to see the character of Alex (one of our recent favorites) further explored.
Speaking of Grey's Anatomy comings and goings, the Mercy West residents look to be sticking around ... well, at least some of them. One will definitely not be back next season.
A source says one of the four newbies introduced earlier in the year has already received his/her walking papers from the show and will exit SGMWH before the end of the season.
Any idea which one it is? Thought's on Izzie's (latest) return?

Waltrip finally enjoys a day at the racetrack
While it's been a rough initiation to the NASCAR Nextel Cup series for all of the Toyota drivers, none have suffered to the extent of veteran Michael Waltrip, driver and co-owner of the No. 55 Napa Auto Parts Toyota, who finished 10th in Sunday's Citizens Bank 400 at Michigan International Speedway. Meanwhile, David Reutimann, also driving for Waltrip, finished 15th. "I think we can build on a lot that has gone on lately," Waltrip said. Added Reutimann: "That was a lot of fun, the most fun I've had all year," Reutimann said. "One race doesn't make your deal, but it certainly doesn't hurt your morale. We're capable of things a lot better than this and hopefully, it's just a start." Waltrip's own race team has qualified for just three of 15 races this season and was caught putting jet fuel in the car in the season opener at Daytona, resulting in fines and suspensions and the dismissal of Waltrip's crew chief. "None of the Toyota teams have prospered and we've been the worst for sure," Waltrip said. "I think our problems started at Daytona and with the rules infraction and it was made worse by accusations that I knew about it and that was how desperate I was. Of course, none of that was true. It was a big hit on the competition side and a big hit to me personally and my reputation as a car owner." . . . Around the circuit, there is sympathy for Waltrip's plight. "If anybody doesn't feel for Michael Waltrip, you're not human," said Tony Stewart, driver of the Home Depot No. 20 Chevrolet. "Michael has made a huge investment to build his race teams and that's a huge sacrifice on his time, not only as a driver, but as a car owner. It's a lot of responsibility to try to take care of sponsors and drive the race car. That's why when everyone says, 'Are you going to become an owner in the Truck series, or Busch, or Cup?' No, I can't handle that. I don't have time to do that. I can barely run what I've got. That's a lot of responsibilities. I've got a lot of respect for Michael and I think Michael's handled it all very well and better than most people could have handled it. It's tough to do all of that stuff, let alone have your name attached to the whole thing." . . . Stewart is just one among many who've extended Waltrip a friendly ear during his time of turmoil. "There's a list of guys that have called me and offered help and a shoulder," Waltrip said. "Most notably Rick Hendrick, J.D. Gibbs, my brother Darrell and Kyle Petty. While it's been very challenging, it's also been refreshing to have people say, 'We're here to help and do whatever we can.'" . . . He's known for his fiery temperament and his many on-track incidents with other NASCAR Nextel Cup drivers, but Stewart sees drivers looking out for each other as a major issue within the sport today. "With the younger guys coming in, I think racing has changed from a respect standpoint," said Stewart, driver of the Home Depot No. 20 Chevrolet. "It's not same as it was when I started. There's a lot of guys out there that you've got to watch out for, you don't know what they're going to do. Ten years ago, you didn't see guys 18, 19 years of age being hired to drive Nextel Cup cars. You had to be in racing a long time and established and prove yourself before you got a ride. This era of racing, you've got car owners hiring kids before they've got a valid driver's licence. Their parents have to drive them to the race shop to get fitted for their race car." . . . Money is considered the root of all evil, but at the racetrack, Stewart spies another villain running the sport into ruin. "Technology has killed every form of racing that it's got involved with and you can't stop it," he said. "The only way to stop it is to go an IROC Series where everybody is driving the same thing. The Car of Tomorrow is a perfect example. The engineers are the ones making the difference, not the drivers, not the manufacturers. As time moves on, technology gets in the way of racing more than anything." . . . Stewart has endured many run-ins with NASCAR officials due to his aggressive driving and opinionated commentary, but gives them credit for one thing. "They will never tell you what to say," he said. "There are certain things they wish you wouldn't say, but they will never, ever tell you what you can or cannot say. I know this for a fact." . . . Stewart improved from a starting position of 41st to a third-place finish in Sunday's race, an MIS track record. "Normally, I wouldn't be excited with a third, but to come from that far back to third in 400 miles is a pretty good effort," Stewart said.

Vegetarians in Paradise takes great pride in presenting its 24 Carrot Award to Vesanto Melina who has promoted veganism/vegetarianism through her research, teaching, writing, consulting, and lecturing.
Vesanto Melina has taught nutrition at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver and Seattle's Bastyr University. She was a coordinator for the vegetarian section of the Manual of Clinical Dietetics (Dietitians of Canada and the American Dietetics Association) and is co-author of nutrition classics like Becoming Vegetarian (now in eleven countries and three languages), Cooking Vegetarian, Becoming Vegan, Food Allegy Survival Guide, and Healthy Eating for Life to Prevent and Treat Cancer.
Vesanto is widely known in the media--press, TV and radio. She is an internationally known speaker and has presented workshops on the topic of vegetarian nutrition to over 1800 dietitians throughout North America. Vesanto received the prestigious Clintec award for leadership in dietetics.
She has worked as a public health nutritionist, clinical nutrition specialist, nutrition consultant, academic nutrition instructor, and is currently the Past Chairperson of the Vegetarian Nutrition Dietetic Practice Group of the American Dietetic Association.
As is customary, Vegetarians in Paradise takes this opportunity to interview each award recipient to share his/her accomplishments with our readers.
What follows are the questions asked by Vegetarians in Paradise (VIP) and the answers by Vesanto Melina (VM)
VIP: What circumstances in your life resulted in the focus on diet and nutrition as a career choice?
VM: From early childhood, when my birthday parties were cookie-making parties, I have enjoyed making delicious food with and for family and friends. My mother was interested in health (with a pre-vegan version of healthy food) and fitness. My father did diabetes research with the discoverers of insulin and then cancer research, and inspired my interest in science. Nutrition represents the merger of the two forces.
VIP: What personal experiences led you to vegetarianism/veganism?
VM: Forty years ago, friends and I explored vegetarian cooking--six of us took turns cooking a vegetarian meal for each other 6 nights a week. So we'd cook once, eat well 6 nights. I still belong to a veggie meal club. Information about the health benefits linked with vegetarian diets was just emerging, so that was a plus. In the mid 80's I became aware of boar bashing-clubbing pigs on their sensitive snouts to force them into the truck for the slaughterhouse. Learning of the harsh conditions of killing day old male chicks, debeaking chickens, and transport of cows and "veal" calves, including downers, was enough to turn me vegan.
VIP: How do your friends and relatives react to your emphasis on a plant-based diet?
VM: My daughter Kavyo was vegetarian before I was; my tree planter son Xoph goes to India each winter and appreciates the excellent vegetarian food. We always have good vegan food around the house and people seem very happy with that. Becoming vegan was a natural for my partner Cam Doré. Cam and I live in a cohousing community and it is a veg-friendly place. I have to get along with people who are not vegan, and appreciate that they express their compassion in other ways, and that I can learn a lot from them. I have the sense that when folks know that they can be well nourished with plant foods and that it can taste good and be practical, they relax into thinking vegan is okay. Often that allows them to consider some of the reasons for being vegan.
VIP: You spent a few years in India and Nepal. What effect did those visits have on your life?
VM: After being immersed in academia, studying and teaching university, I lived in India for 4 years, along with 4 trips to Nepal. The Eastern experience gave a balance to a life that had kept me in my head, my mind. India has such a profound spiritual foundation, a reverence for life (including the lives of animals) -and great vegetarian food. Twenty years ago, sitting in the sun at the top of a mountain in Nepal, I realized that teaching people how to manage well on plant-based diet would be my life work.
VIP: Vesanto is a unique name. What's the story behind it?
VM: I was given the name at an ashram in India. My daughter Kavyo got her name there as well. My name meant springtime of love.
VIP: Can you tell our readers about your education?
VM: I had a top quality education in Vancouver and Toronto, then undergraduate and graduate degrees in nutrition at the University of Toronto and the University of London England. My father had done diabetes and cancer research in Toronto, and we lived in London while he did cancer research there. I then taught nutrition at the University of British Columbia and later at Bastyr University in Seattle.
VIP: In your career you've focused on research, teaching, workshops, consulting, and writing. Which of these areas brings you most pride and satisfaction?
VM: They all fit together. From individual clients, or when travelling, I meet near-vegetarians, vegetarians, and vegans in different parts of the world and learn their perspectives and what would be helpful to them; this shapes my writing. My co-author Brenda Davis and I have had a delightful collaboration for 20 years; we delve into the research, get up-to date scientific perspectives on vegan nutrition and health, and then do our best to write about that in an interesting manner.
It is fun working together and the process would be solitary and far less satisfying without Brenda. We carefully critique each other's work. Together, we create books that are highly regarded for their accuracy-and well-loved for being reader friendly.
VIP: What significance has teaching cooking had on your career?
VM: When teaching vegetarian nutrition, I quickly realized that including food brought a class to life. When we don't have access to a kitchen, I invite people to bring dishes to share, bring food to sample, or arrange for a veggie restaurant, caterer, or company to allow tasting. Cooking Vegan, co-authored with professional chef Joseph Forest, grew from cooking classes, which were so popular that people wanted to stay on into the night.
VIP: What are some of the awards you've received?
VM: I received the Clintec Award for leadership in dietetics. At first, dietitians were wary about vegetarian nutrition and more so about vegan nutrition. A chapter showing how to manage nutritionally without dairy products in our book Becoming Vegetarian was heavily criticized by a dairy industry dietitian in the mid 90's. In fact she wrote a 45 page booklet against it and ran a full page ad in a dietitian's journal (for which the journal editor later apologized).
I took a positive approach, realizing that dietitians were unfamiliar with vegan nutritional science. Soon our book became a best seller, with dietitians, physicians, teachers, and other health professionals as some of our most loyal supporters and promoters. Dietitians of Canada honored me with the Clintec Award. The 24 Carrot is my 2nd award, and is a great honor!
VIP: We notice you have an extensive speaking schedule. What topics important to you have been the subjects of these addresses? What success have you had in influencing non-vegetarian audiences?
VM: Within the past year, I did a cross-Canada, 6-city tour, sponsored by Dietitians of Canada for hundreds of dietitians, most of whom are not vegetarian. The topics were a) Update on Vegetarian, Vegan, and Raw Nutrition, and b) The Effective Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes with Vegan Diets. I also presented these topics to dietitians in Washington, Oregon, and other states. This year I have given updates on vegan and raw nutrition for vegetarian associations in Copenhagen, Aarhus (Denmark), Paris, and across Canada, as well as speaking in San Francisco (ivu.org) and the 6th International Congress on Vegetarian Nutrition at Loma Linda, California.
VIP: Of the books and articles you've co-written, which was the most challenging? Which was the most rewarding?
VM: The joint Position Paper on Vegetarian Nutrition of the American Dietetic Association (now the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics) and Dietitians of Canada was a huge challenge. There were extremely critical eyes on every word written by my esteemed dietitian co-authors, Virginia Messina and Reed Mangels; we had to prove to those with adversarial attitudes that each point had solid backup.
Vesanto Melina and Brenda Davis
When Brenda Davis and I wrote Becoming Raw and before that The Raw Food Revolution Diet, we addressed many of the unfounded beliefs and misconceptions within the raw community. Because of the myth busting, we wondered if Becoming Raw might be poorly received within the raw foods community. Instead it has been embraced as a very welcome science-based support for those choosing raw vegan diets.
VIP: You've been living in Cohousing and are a strong believer in that lifestyle. How does Cohousing work and why is it so special to you?
VM: Readers can see the very beautiful cohousing community where I live at http://www.windsong.bc.ca. Mine is the green house front on the Home Page. We are now building cohousing in Vancouver http://www.vancouvercohousing.com, and Cam and I can be seen on the members page, http://www.vancouvercohousing.com/category/community/members/ . Cohousing is the modern form of a small village, based on a Danish model, where people befriend and support their neighbors, http://www.cohousing.org/ . An objective is to live in peace and harmony inside my own head and with others. Community members are caring people that support my evolution in this direction.
VIP: What leisure activities and hobbies do you enjoy?
VM: I have a grandson named Chance who just learned to walk and now is enthusiastically taking up talking. It is fun to spend time with his parents, one of whom is my daughter. I greatly enjoy visits with my son. I listen to books on CD that expand my world vision and take part in Buddhist meditation classes.
VIP: What benefits have you realized yourself by following the diet and lifestyle you espouse? Can you give our readers the main features of your personal diet and exercise regimen?
VM: I do an hour of some sort of exercise daily. During the week this involves going to the gym for spin classes, deep water aquatics, Pilates, yoga, and stretch classes. Resulting in a sort of cross training. On weekends Cam and I cycle, and we take our bikes on trips, often cycling on converted railway beds. I have a vegetable and flower garden.
VIP: What are some of the organizations you belong to and support?
VM: I belong to PCRM, often speak for EarthSave and other vegetarian associations, give a little money to http://www.avaaz.org, to the Green Party, to PBS, and to organizations that provide education to girls in the Middle East.
VIP: What person or persons have had the most influence on your life?
VM: I am deeply touched by the fact that wherever I travel in the world, whether it is to Belgium, New Orleans, Halifax, Paris, Copenhagen, Winnipeg, Los Angeles, Maui, or Kansas City, there are people who have committed to making the world a better place through their dietary choices--and by many other lifestyle choices as well. It makes me feel that the world is a good place, a place of gradually evolving consciousness.
I am blessed to be North American, educated, and in a loving family. I am profoundly grateful to my physiologist father, my fun-loving, food-loving mother, and to my honest, dear, and hard-working son and daughter. I am so fortunate to have Cam Doré as my life partner as he teaches me about unconditional love and also keeps my computer working.
VIP: What goals have you set for yourself in the coming years?
VM: We will continue to update the books for which we are well known such as The New Becoming Vegetarian. I'll keep on with the speaking, writing, and consulting; it is such a pleasure and seems to be making a difference in the world, helping people to be fit and vibrant vegans in all stages of the life cycle. I hope and plan to get old (goal is 105 years) as a vegan in good health.
In 2013, The Book Publishing Company is releasing two versions of the update for our well-loved classic Becoming Vegan by Brenda Davis and myself. In June you'll see our Becoming Vegan: Express Edition, The Everyday Guide to Plant Based Nutrition. This book has been completely revised from the 2000 edition.
In the early fall, Becoming Vegan: Comprehensive Edition, The Complete Reference to Plant Based Nutrition will be published. This version will be twice as big, expanding on all topics, packed with additional topics and in-depth analyses, and referenced throughout. It is intended for health professionals, colleges, and also for vegetarians and vegans who want a more in-depth understanding of the topics.

Our favorite design elements include the seagrass wallpaper on the accent wall behind the bed, as well as the bamboo rug. We also incorporated a few bold black and white patterns, along with a gorgeous abstract painting, for a modern twist.Start a Project


text: We had our first snow flurries today! The kids were playing outside and it just started to drop these fat flakes out of nowhere. It was so cute to see Jake just standing there sticking out his tongue. It only lasted about a half hour, but it was a sure reminder of what January often brings. At least one good snow! Our house can get a bit drafty and my office is the chilliest room in the house, so wether I'm going out or staying in, I have to make sure I have my winter gear...Continue reading

Be sure to like our Facebook page so you can stay up-to-date with new information and use the links throughout the website to get acquainted with our Isagenix Health Products.

Plus, your first order is covered by a product money back guarantee within 30 days. Any order placed is processed by Isagenix themselves and sent from the closest warehouse (Sydney or Perth if ordering within Australia).
What Happens to Body Fat When You Cleanse?
Ah, the visual joy of weight loss – your face is more defined, your belly no longer protrudes over the waist of your pants, and parts that used to jiggle are now toned. On the outside, fat loss seems like a fairly simple process. However, what happens in your body during weight loss involves an intricate web of metabolic changes that include structural transformation of fat cells, the breakdown and use of fat for energy, as well as changes in hormone production.
Performing Isagenix Cleanse Days – a combination of intermittent fasting with herbs and vitamins that support detoxification—is an effective approach for weight loss, especially for targeting fat loss. In fact, the UIC study using Isagenix products found that those who follow the Isagenix system had more fat loss and twice as much visceral fat loss than those who followed a "heart healthy" diet.
Customer Reviews
My friend of more than 20 years introduced me to Isagenix. I was a skeptic for about 12 months, I looked into everything and was suspect because of the so called 'pyramid' and 'selling' that seemed to be involved… I have never been so wrong in my life! You feel that good that you want to talk and share about it!!!
I would strongly recommend anyone considering changing their life from a nutritional point of view. This program is just extra nutrition that the food you buy and grow quite simply does not contain. 11 months on, I love who I am! Size 10 and almost 35kgs lighter I am changed person!

As of 2015, property sellers using the Like-Kind Section 1031 Exchange must identify potential replacement properties within 45 calendar days of closing on the relinquished property, according to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. They must complete closing on replacement properties within 180 calendar days of the relinquished property sale.Continue Reading
The 180-day period is shorter if the due date for the seller's income tax return for the year in which he relinquished the property, including any extensions, occurs earlier than 180 days, according to the IRS. In that case, the replacement property closing must occur by the due date of the current year's tax return.Learn more about Taxes
