Nutritional Support
All sickness and disease is caused by deficiencies and toxicities in the body. The number one cause of deficiency is decreased nerve flow and the number one cause of toxicity is medications / poor diet.
Due to the stresses of modern life, the poor quality in the food supply, and high amounts of toxins due to medication and our environment, most of us need a daily supply of the raw materials for all enzymes and biochemistry to function properly. Supplements are designed to add what is missing into our nutritional diet.
We offer nutrition consults at our Raleigh and Wakefield offices for our patients in order to find out what their deficiencies are and to find remedies such as whole food, herbal, and/or high-grade formulated supplements that one cannot purchase at the local store.

We remain committed to providing the safest, highest quality dietary supplements through health care professionals to help improve and optimize health and wellness.

First Bachelorette Trista Sutter Dishes on Life, Love and Plastic Surgery
January 6, 2014 in Celebrity Plastic Surgery by Sam Stets | Leave a Comment
The new season of the Bachelor kicks off later this month and as proof that the show can actually find love, the original Bachelorette Trista Sutter is back in the spotlight. Trista plans to renew her vows to firefighter Ryan Sutter, whom she has now been married to for 10 years and has two kids. But before the big day comes, Trista is busy promoting her new book, "Happily Ever After: The Life-Changing Power of a Grateful Heart."
Speaking with Ali Wentworth, on Yahoo's Daily Shot with Ali Wentworth, Ali talked about her life and her controversial decision to undergo several plastic surgery procedures at the age of 39. In addition to getting a breast lift and breast augmentation after having kids, Trista also opted for eyelid surgery to correct a genetic droopy eye problem.
While Trista is ultimately pleased with the results of her procedures, she says that at the time, she was not a happy camper.
"You had some rough times with plastic surgery," Ali says to start the conversation.
"I did," laughs Trista.
"You have the eye thing I have," Ali commiserates.
"I know. I actually went on and looked at your videos that you did for the blepharoplsasty and I was like, 'Oh my God, what am I doing?"
Cause when I went on the Internet there wasn't anything, so I was like, I wanna know what this feels like, what I'm gonna be dealing with…"
"I know, I had a droopy eyelid on one side," Trista explains as she gestures to her right eye, "and it wasn't something that anyone else would notice necessarily but when I got really tired, it would droop a little more. It's just a genetic thing, my mom has it and I'm happy I did. It was not a fun experience by any means."
Trista goes on to elaborate on her "horrible" plastic surgery recovery, saying that not only did she end up being allergic to her antibiotic and getting sick for weeks, but she also went into a clinical depression, saying, "I was like a shell of myself. It was horrible."
Eventually, all her problems were traced back to the medication still in her system and Trista is ultimately pleased with her results. And according to an interview with Good Morning America shortly after Trista showed off her results, hubby Ryan is definitely happy with pressuring Trista to have breast augmentation, saying, "I love her…the same as before, but I maybe love one section of her a little more."
Host Ali Wentworth went public with her decision to go under the knife when she opted for a blepharoplasty in 2012 after suffering from a genetic condition that caused her eyelids to droop. In keeping with her gregarious personality, the comedian, actress, author and wife of "Good Morning America" host George Stephanopoulos posted videos of her experience: pre-op, during plastic surgery recovery and the final result.
Ali's results were great, as she looks much more refreshed, but not at all tight and pulled. After showing off her newly opened eyes, Ali began receiving suggestions on what to work on next but politely declined them all, saying she was finished with plastic surgery as she had met her primary goal.

Driving Upstream on the Saw Mill River Parkway
So, this is the long way to introduce the idea of me driving up the Hudson River in my ridiculous green Jeep Patriot** and how I sometimes struggle with the steering wheel as the little car fights to cross the George Washington Bridge, to head west, to make tracks for Moab or Pie Town or Snowflake or Fort Collins or just about any damn place 1,500 miles thataway. Instead, I muscle the thing like a half-broke mustang and guide us both together up the river to another river, the Saw Mill River, and drive that river upstream, drive north instead of west, to Yonkers, to Bronxville, to my home and my family on, more or less, the shores of yet another river, this one named the Bronx River. That's a lot of rivers.
Sometimes, there is roadkill piled on top of roadkill as a vulture or a hawk or even an eagle that once scavenged interstate buffet found itself part of the entrée du jour.
If someone has known me long enough to watch me meet new people, that person will probably hear me tell this story every time in pretty much the same way I told it to them. It is kind of humorous, but it also clearly states how difficult it is for me to even imagine myself living in New York, commuting into the belly of the beast every other morning and getting paid to talk about movies, books and writing. Beats working six ways to Sunday, believe me, because I've worked, and any day without a paper-hat and a name-tag is a good day, any day without gloves and boots to protect one's digits from dirty and dangerous things, any day without breathing harmful fumes without benefit of proper ventilation is a good day.
It was just a little over a year ago, however, that I let the Jeep have its head and we crossed the George Washington Bridge, crossed the Hudson River, and headed west loaded with snacks, beverages, maps and my science/cultural advisor and researcher, OV Jr. At some point we recognized that we were driving on the very first interstate highway ever built.*** Can't say I was thrilled beyond reckoning, but the lanes were suddenly alive with 4-wheelers, pick-up trucks, don't-tread-on-me snake stickers and the Confederate Stars & Bars. We were in Pennsylvania, all right. OV expressed confusion.
"The North won the Civil War, right?" he asked me.
Here at the eastern edge of the Heartland, a message is broadcast from the AM stations and the strip-mall (not storefront) churches (with white pastors, not black preachers): God, the perfect essence of perfect love, is angry and wants money.
"Pennsylvania was on the Northern side, right?"
"Gettysburg was a huge battle in the Civil War, right?"
"Absolutely. It was the seal of doom on the Southern rebellion."
"In Pennsylvania, right?"
"About 5 miles from here?"
"And these guys fly the Confederate battle flag on their Pennsylvania pick-up trucks?"
"It speaks more to ideology than geography," I answered.
OV slumped in the passenger seat, though he was surreptitiously checking his ammo and stared out the window.
"Amish people and shit, right?"
"Hundred percent."
"Liberty Bell."
"Uh huh."
"Declaration of Independence."
"United States of ..." I replied.
Brooding silence.
Harrisburg has the look, the look of America, the look of biscuits and gravy, hold the irony. America wears its damn hat frontways forward. America will not suffer what it has suffered every day for the last ... ooooh ... the motel has a build-
There is a kind of poise between what once was, what's left, what could have been and what is probably going to happen.
Three Mile Island is right there, surrounded by poor people who seem to be distinctly brownish and enjoy high rents in the lowest valued real estate in town with the highest cancer rates.**** It's the cost of doing business, I guess. The Susquehanna, a pretty damn big river, rolls on, and the snail shells are at least as radioactive as the cultured granite countertop back home. In Yonkers, I mean.
Living in New York and, specifically, the Greater East Coast Megalopolis, the one stretching from Baltimore to Boston along the Atlantic Coast, that megalopolis, it's easy to forget that only 50 or 100 miles inland, it's America. It's not New York City or some suburb-connector community between the pointy bits. It's strip malls and country-Western music and fluorescent lights on the highway at night and big, deep rivers rolling on silent and strong in the deepest of Pennsylvania nights despite nuclear accidents here, there or anywhere. Poisonous snail shells aside, the world is a confused and confusing place; here at the eastern edge of the Heartland, a message is broadcast from the AM stations and the strip-mall (not storefront) churches (with white pastors, not black preachers): God, the perfect essence of perfect love, is angry and wants money.
The local motel with the waffle machine is stuffed full of traveling Christian teens singing and dancing their love for the Lord from small city, big town churches within striking distance of their task force of logoed Chevy vans and stout sedans of uncertain origin. They are the Armor of God or something. They wear a bible quote of their t-shirts (Ephesians 5:18), but they don't know the verse ("Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.").1
"Good to know," says the youngster.
"Good to believe in and use as a guide in this confused and confusing world," I tell him.
"Yessir," he says, staring straight at the number flasher thing in the two-storey elevator.
"God don't want you messing around with nothing but the Holy Spirit, boy," I continued. "He don't hold with the distiller's wicked art."
"Beer and wine?" asked OV.
"Exactly," I was happy to affirm. "These are drinks which man working with nature ferments, a totally God-approved process." 2
"You getting this boy?" asks OV, only this time a little bit of pistol shows.
How long does an elevator take to travel a distance of ... say ... 15 feet? In Harrisburg, Pa., the site of America's worst known nuclear disaster, it takes way too fucking long for a poor kid in a t-shirt. It's a living example of relativity, of how time is a function of perception. For OV and myself, this is an amusing few seconds of chitchat with a fool, though it's not really his fault, so we're not going to mess around too much.
"You might want to suggest the rest of your crew, your little brainwashed choir chirping out your upbeat teen tuneage 'cause Jesus is cool and like your best friend if you let him into your heart learn what it is they'se singin' about, about just exactly who they'se singin' about."
No response. This kid's had training. He's done time in some summer camp learning how to block abortion clinics, debate evolutionists or, more likely, protect himself against the temptations all male Middle American teenagers face: alcohol, sex, drugs, anything with an eternal combustion engine, other male Middle Americans.
"We let Jesus into our hearts," I say, and OV is pushing the "doors closed" button.
"We didn't like Jesus in our hearts," he tells the boy in the Armor of God t-shirt.
The kid is good, and even though he's turned a bright shade of red and he's shaking, trembling, he won't look at the red letter "L" in the elevator control panel. Or OV's finger holding the door shut.
"One day," I told him, "We asked Jesus to leave our hearts."
"There's like holes in our hearts shaped like Jesus," OV explains.
"They're all empty," I add. "They're all empty, our Jesus-shaped heart holes."
OV withdraws his finger from the button, and the doors sort of stutter open; our boy is gone so fast, he's somewhere in the middle of a huge, and by "huge" I mean around 20, group of similar teens, both boys and girls, wearing identical Armor of God t-shirts.
It's like the end of The Deer Hunter where the landscape and the stag and the man form a perfect, resonant shape of mind-body-spirit in the light of a truer kind of dawn, enlightenment. Well, not so much that, but there is a kind of poise between what once was, what's left, what could have been and what is probably going to happen. They're telling us now that maybe the radiation at Chernobyl is actually good for a couple of species of birds who seem to benefit from the antioxidant effect of constant, low levels of certain kinds of radiation.*****
I'm not going where everyone seems to always go. Is it safe? Of course not. It's the site of America's worst nuclear accident (that we know about). Is there any scientific data to show how unsafe? Sure. And a bunch that shows the area to be perfectly safe and certainly no worse than any other particular place. I've been to Chernobyl, and Harrisburg is no Pripyat. Pripyat is a freak-show ghost town, frozen in time, anbandoned, except it's constantly decaying and deteriorating, collapsing and succumbing to Darwinism via Relativity. One big difference, see, is that we can build our own waffles in Harrisburg, and we do so with gusto, though we, OV and I, never completely abandon firearms. We've got places to be, and they don't include confrontations with local Tea Party, Confederate, frontways hat-wearing locals pissed off that Mexicans are getting all the good jobs. None of this would be possible in Pripyat.
OV and I are able to locate the areas of Harrisburg considered to be "hot," to be "cancer clusters," to have been directly covered in the plumes of radioactive steam vented on and off and on during the management of the what-the-hell brinksmanship that keeps a nuclear reactor already off the rails from getting worserer and worserer forever and ever, by looking for a Crown Chicken place. When we find one, we know we've found the epicenter of the contamination. It all looks fairly benign, this Three Mile Island does, and what is anyone going to do about it anyway?3 All those people in Japan, in Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Fukushima now, all those people in Ukraine, didn't get a Crown Chicken place. They got to relocate themselves to whatever passes for a FEMA trailer in those parts.
OV and I are sort of sad when we leave Harrisburg for our return to Megalopolis, kind of let down and discouraged and a little bit sad. To help out, we stopped at The Pennsylvania Gift Haus4, home to Roadside American, The World's Greatest Indoor Miniature Village.5 Certainly, that's a judgment call, but since we didn't really go look at it, we don't have the experience required to really judge the thing at all.
So, now, I guess, I'm more or less back in one of the world's largest life-sized cities driving upstream, eventually under the George Washington Bridge, and I won't go west, I'll go north, and that will make all the difference.

nudity reviews for Arabian Nights member submitted
First at the beginning of the movie, we see her full frontal as she undresses to take her master's virginity (she plays a young boy's slave). Then we see her whole nude black body as she strips in front of a princess to show her she's a girl, as she's been disguised as a boy. Then the movie's last scene she strips nude, and makes love to her young master.
sex with slave girl
Early in the film Merli's character (Nur Er Din or Nuradin) takes his new slave girl home. He is a virgin, so she takes the lead: she kneels in front of him, removes his sarong and then his loin cloth, leaving him comletely naked and giving us a lingering full frontal. Merli is young (maybe late teens) but has a great body: dark skin, well defined (though not over-developed) muscles and a good size penis (soft). He is then led to the bed by the girl and then climbs on top of her giving us a great view of his trim, muscular buttocks.
In a later scene he is being 'massaged' by three young women as he lies on his back naked and there is a brief close-up of one of the girls caressing his semi-hard penis, but the whole of this scene is obscured by bushes.
Lots of nudity from then 17-year-old cutie
Young Franco was only 17 when this came out, making his frequent nudity in this film a bit surprising. However, he's got a lean, sculpted body which seems older than his age and an unbelievably adorable smile, it's easy to see what Pasolini saw in him. We first see him nude near the beginning when the slave girl he just bought proceeds to strip him naked for his character's first sexual experience. She removes his sarong and loin cloth, giving us a lovely, lingering full frontal. She walks him to a nearby bed where she lies back - the camera gives us another lingering frontal as he stands beside her, then he lies down on top of her giving us a great look at his bubble butt. Merli does other nudity in this movie, but nothing as nearly satisfying as this scene near the beginning.
sex experiment
Young Ethiopian (this is the only film he's been in) playing Berhane, who, along with a girl of about the same age, is recruited for a sexual experiment.
Both Berhane and the girl are given sleeping potions that allow them to be woken at different times. Berhane is woken first, spies the girl sleeping on another bed in the room, goes over to her and pulls down the sheet covering her. Aroused, he removes the sarong around his waist and climbs on top of her. We have an excellent view of his rear and, as he is climbing on top of her, his large erect penis can be seen as he pushes it down between his legs - most impressive, especially for a young guy (late teens?) with a small, yet well proportioned, body. He bobs up and down on her for a while as she sleeps and, when he has finished, returns to his bed and goes to sleep.
The girl is then woken and sees Bethane asleep, goes to his bed and pulls the sheet off. His genitals are obscured at this point, but the head of his large erect penis can be seen briefly as she climbs on top of him and very clearly (for a few seconds) after she gets off him.
Gherentiel is young (late teens) but has luscious dark skin, a cute face, well defined (though not muscular) body, nice firm buttocks ... but the four stars have to go to the coyness with which he sports his erection and Pasolini's evident unashamed joy of it.
It is not only Ninetto Davoli, a regular for Pasolini's movie, who is fully nude throughout the movie. There are at least 2 other guys you can see fully nude. This is the 2nd to last movie that Pasolini has made, and it seems since 1969's Decameron, and then 1971's Canterbury Tales, this one, and finally the notorious 1975's Salo, all these Pasolini movies has lots of nudity. So check them out.

I had anxiety writing this
First of all, I have been reading, like a lot. I'm pretty sure I've spent more than RM200 on books alone this year. I've finished reading The Hunger Games Trilogy, and the 3 side books, Powerless, Dr Yes and Border Town. And I'm currently reading The Last Invisible Boy, Eight Keys, Warp Speed, Liesl & Po, We Can Be Heroes and The Boy Who Could See Demons. As for future reads, I'm searching for The Maze Runner Trilogy and the Epilogue, Perks of Being a Wallflower, How To Kill a Mockingbird, The Caster Chronicles, Dark Lord and John Green's works. So that's a total of 9 read, 6 reading and 16 will be read. All these reading will either be the death of me or the death of me. Fucking feels man.
Next, I have longer periods between relapses and I guess that's good. I mean sometimes I feel like a relapse is going to happen but it didn't and I'm still okay, in a way. Reading and music really help a lot. Also doing creative stuff keeps me sane. I made a elastic bangle with googly eyes on it, I covered my wall with posters, thinking of rearranging my room again, making tiny projects and most of these things happen between 12 to 3 am so.. yeah. I also found some really good music like going through 8track and mixtapes on the net. I found out about Bastille, Mariana Trench, Of Monsters and Men, also a lot of classics from ABBA and etc idek. I have also been watching a lot of torrent movies like Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Suicide Room, Cyberbully, Easy A, The Notebook, Crazy Stupid Love, and a lot of horror movies.
As for the down part of changing I still have no idea what the hell is going on in my life anymore with SPM and my future and every time these thoughts get in my head I just feel like lying down on the floor and cry because I really have no idea. My result are getting worse! The only subject I can get an A is Modern Maths. I can barely get an A in English. I flunk my BM essay. My Chem and Phy are out of the window, I failing my Agama and I still haven't passed my Add Maths. As for my LK and Sej, I'm improving to say the least. I'm seriously thinking about abandoning Chemistry. I am literally hopeless. I think I can still get credit for a few of the other subject but idk. Then I keep thinking about the future, even more studying and work and stuff ughh. Like I don't even know with all these Matriks talk and A levels and honestly all I want to to get a Diploma in Film/Graphic Design/Multimedia/Animation and I just want to work at Dreamworks or Pixar and be happy and die and just be done with all of it. Sometimes at night I just lay on my bed with the only glow in the dark stars and think about everything, trying to sort everything out but I can't and I get anxiety attacks and I can't sleep and I have lost count on how many nights I didn't sleep. How did I even become the President of the Pembimbing Rakan Sebaya?? I'M A HOT MESS!!
idk man, i need to thrown my bed frame from the 25th floor. bye.
i just wanna be with you right now and you can tell me all thats bothering you and ill listen and ill try to help my best and ill tell you everything is okay and i wanna cuddle with you and make it all better and god i miss you so much we were so close and i hate not being there for you and feeling like theres nothing i can do to things better
Yet youre the one making me do the opposite
How do you suggest i feel when the whole class laughs at a drawing of me with my ugly face and fat stomach almost bursting out of my uniform
You dont know how much i hate myself
I avoid mirrors. I dont like to be reminded of those things
I hate my lips, my eyes. I hate my hair, my nose. I hate my body. I hate me.
You think its a joke.
You say I should get a sense of homour.
I got a sense of homour, but i guess it kinda wore off after 10 years of putting up with shit like this
big fat mess
Do you ever in very rare times actually feels good about yourself? you like how your hair looks, how your eyes doesnt have bags or how your teeth is whiter than usual. then you go out having this very good feeling about yourself. and theres that one comment thats makes you crumble. it doesnt take much, just one comment to make it all seem worthless. makes what you did worthless. makes you feel youre so fucking worthless.
2013 i thought its gonna be a good year. losing weight, be more cheerful, get good grades but no. its just the same fuckery every fucking year. do you know how hard it is not to eat? do you know horrible i feel at school? at home, naked in front of the mirror, do you know how fucking sick i am of me? you think i dont know that im fat? trust me i do? and you dont need to remind me cuz all my life i hear "fat""fat""FAT" even my parents. you dont think i try to stop eating. i fall asleep at 3am every night cuz my stomach keeps rumbling. my dad said i was too busy online to even eat when i wasnt. i just dont want to fucking stuff my face with food. and when i do eat, everything just comes out the way it came in.
i cut. i started to the beginning of the year. i just cant handle with the shit. my scars, wounds full of bad memories "fat" "ugly" "worthless" it hurts. it fucking hurts. yesterday i cut too deep and had to bandage myself. i had to swear a hoodie to school on a hot day to hide it. sometime poeple see them and they just "why" "stop" they just say it but i know they dont mean it. none of them do. they care for a bit the first time they see it. then, nothing.
its so ironic that the head of the PRS have suicidal thoughts. im supposed to help others. how if i cant even help myself.

All of us grew up hearing moral tales. Using simple characters and symbolism they taught us how to live by showing us the rewards of virtuous acts and the consequences of foolish acts. These stories ingrained in us morally acceptable behaviors. If we learned their lessons well, our lives would be better.
The "boy who cried wolf" taught us those who make a practice of lying will not be trusted – even when they desperately need to be to avoid becoming lunch.
The "ugly duckling" taught us true beauty isn't immediately apparent to the eye.
The "tortoise and the hare" taught us that slow and steady will ultimately defeat over-confident and speedy.
Even some of our favorite films are essentially moral tales.
Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" taught us true beauty is not external but rather internal (Unless you're the girl, in which case it seems the external still matters).
"Rocky" taught us hard work and persistence will eventually pay off no matter who you are.
"Liar, Liar" – starring Jim Carrey – taught us that career success is empty apart from the love of a family.
We seem to secretly enjoy good moral tales. Not only do they aid us in passing our values down to our children, but there is something gratifying about walking away from a book, television show, or movie that entertained us while righting our moral compass. Unfortunately, we enjoy moral tales so much we often take the Bible – especially the Old Testament – and turn it into one.
Take the story of David and Goliath from 1 Samuel 17. In this famous story known by Christian, Jew, and atheist alike, the young king-in-waiting David sees the Philistine army and their champion, Goliath, striking fear into the hearts of the Israelite army. David decides to trust God and face Goliath on his own, armed only with a sling and five stones. Goliath laughs when he sees the boy approaching but David kills him with a stone to the forehead.
It is hard for us to resist turning this into a moral tale. We assume the author of 1 Samuel wanted good, godly behavior from his readers. So we cast ourselves as David and re-imagine Goliath as any number of "giants" we may be facing from a disease to a job situation to family problems to financial struggles to persistent heartburn. The moral of the tale of David and Goliath is if we trust and obey God He will empower us to overcome the challenges in our life.
The problem is the story of David and Goliath isn't allegory. David doesn't symbolize us – he symbolizes the real, historical future king of Israel from whose line the Messiah will come. Goliath doesn't symbolize difficulties in our life – he symbolizes a tall, heavy, sweaty man with a sword that can cause serious damage. If the author intended this as a moral tale the climax of the story would likely feature David, the Lord or a comment from the author announcing that God will always defeat the giants of those who trust in Him. But that's not what happens. Instead, at the climax of the story, David declares to Goliath in 1 Samuel 17:46-47:
This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you down and cut off your head. And I will give the dead bodies of the host of the Philistines this day to the birds of the air and to the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel, and that all this assembly may know that the Lord saves not with sword and spear. For the battle is the Lord's, and he will give you into our hand.
The message of David and Goliath is not that God will defeat our giants – since that idea is found nowhere in the text. The author speaks through the character of David and tells us in the climax of the story what the message is: that all the nations may know the God of Israel is the true God who saves those who trust in Him. The message is missional – all the nations must know of this God. It is messianic – David is the Lord's anointed, pointing us to the reign of Christ. It is God-centered – He receives all the glory because He saves apart from man's strength. The hero of the story is the Lord and His messiah as represented in the character of David.
This story is just one example.
We take the story of Jonah which is about God's heart for the nations and make it about the importance of obeying God lest He test our swimming skills.
We take the story of Jesus calming the storms which is about the power of the Son of God over creation and make it about Jesus fixing the troubles in our lives.
We take the story of Samson and Delilah, which highlights the failure of Israel's leadership and the need for a messiah, and make it a warning about pursuing our lustful desires.
Converting the Scriptures into moral tales is problematic because we impose our own truth on the Bible. If, based on David and Goliath, I believe God will defeat the giants in my life through my obedience and faith, what happens when God doesn't? What if I lose my battle with cancer, go bankrupt with debt, or see my marriage fall apart? Did I not have enough faith? Is God a figment of my imagination? Or is He simply unhappy with me?
We turn the Bible into moral tales because we ultimately believe the Bible is about us. We think it is life's instruction manual and that it exists to tell us how to live. We become the hero of its story as we faithfully obey all its commands and win the favor of the God it describes. But the Bible isn't about us. The message of most of its stories – including David and Goliath – is the glory and character of God. The hero of its story is Jesus Christ who steps into our sin and failure and saves apart from anything we could ever do. When we understand this, we'll cease to see the Bible as a rulebook full of morals for us to learn and start to see it for what it is – the unfolding revelation of the God of the universe and His glorious plan to save humanity through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The Nokia are now already marketed his first Android smartphone to several countries. As a first step, they have to market the Nokia X smartphone to the Indian market and the Philippines. There's a possibility that Indonesia will soon be visited by Nokia's Android smartphone.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Nokia X Series Android Smartphone
Well, for those of you who are interested in Nokia Android smartphones, it should consider several things. There are some advantages and disadvantages that you consider worth before buying this smartphone. Here are some of them.
- Nokia Android Smartphone to give a new color. Unlike other Android smartphones, the Nokia X comes with Android system with different version. This smartphone is built similar to the one carried by the Amazon Kindle Fire with hers.
- Bonus 4GB microSD. In his official site, Nokia has revealed that the third Android smartphone supports SD card up to 32GB. In addition, specially for Nokia X+ and XL, they will give you a bonus bundling a 4GB microSD card.
- Strong and sturdy design. As one of the mobile phone manufacturers which used to be the king, the quality of Nokia products would not be doubted. The Finnish company known for its quality in providing a durable mobile design.
Disadvantages- Minus access to Google Play. As an Android smartphone that has been modified, then the Nokia Android smartphone is not equipped with a variety of Google's services. These include Google Play. Instead, you have access to the Nokia Store, which unfortunately has a number of applications less than Google Play. But this can be overcome by step rooting. Rooting? Yep, just like other Android smartphones, cellphones Nokia X can be rooted. Even the process of rooting for this smartphone is not too complicated.
- Performance is less. Three Nokia Android smartphone is designed for low-end segment. All the smartphone also comes with a specification that is quite normal. Among these are dual core 1GHz processor and RAM from 512MB to 768MB. So, do not expect to play hardcore games in Nokia's Android smartphone.
- Issue a software update. Android is an operating system that is highly dynamic. Google continues to develop the operating system in a time that is quite close. And as companies that perform modifications independently Android, Nokia had to replace the role of Google to provide an update for the smartphone products. So, Nokia Android users will simply be left behind in terms of Android updates than other smartphones.

Tag: center for biological diversity
Family seeks to halt use of cyanide traps
An Idaho family has launched an online petition aimed at outlawing the government's use of cyanide traps like the one that sent their son to the hospital and claimed the life of their dog last month.
The devices are used by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in remote areas to control predators by exposing them to a blast of cyanide gas.
Canyon Mansfield, 14, was knocked to the ground last month when a cyanide trap, also known as an M-44, spewed cyanide gas into his face and killed his dog, Casey, within seconds.
Although the government has said the devices are only planted with the permission of property owners — and only after neighbors are warned — the Mansfield family says it had no knowledge of the device, installed about 350 yards from their home.
Since the March 16 incident, Canyon has experienced headaches, nausea and numbness and has visited a neurologist for testing, his parents say.
The USDA maintains the devices help resolve conflict between wildlife and people in the safest and most humane ways possible, but "the nature of the cyanide bomb is neither safe nor humane," Canyon's father, Mark Mansfield, a doctor in Pocatello, wrote in an online
"Cyanide gas has been used throughout history to murder masses of people," he said.
The M-44s, also known as "coyote-getters," are designed to lure animals who smell their bait. When an animal tugs on the device, a spring-loaded metal cylinder fires sodium cyanide powder into its mouth.
Over the years, thousands of non-target animals — wild and domestic — have been mistakenly killed by the lethal devices.
Four conservation and animal-welfare groups announced Tuesday they are suing the Trump administration for "failing to protect endangered species from two deadly pesticides used to kill coyotes and other native carnivores."
"Cyanide bombs are indiscriminate killers," said Collette Adkins, an attorney and biologist at the Center for Biological Diversity.
"In just the past several weeks they've injured a child and killed an endangered wolf and several family dogs. These dangerous pesticides need to be banned, but until then, they shouldn't be used where they can hurt people or kill family pets and endangered wildlife," Adkins said.
The government, meanwhile, has called the accidental death of family pets from M-44s a "rare occurrence," and said Wildlife Services posts signs and issues other warnings to alert pet owners when traps are placed near their homes.

Darren Mortimer, Technical Product Manager - Near Surface, will be presenting the following talk at the IDUM.
Wednesday, May 28th
3:30-5:00pm session
|Scotiabank Theatre
Marine Geophysics: Simplifying seabed site investigation with magnetic data
This presentation summarizes magnetometer technologies used for marine work to detect buried unexploded ordnance (UXO) in a variety of marine environments. It also discusses the data processing workflow and specialized tools for comprehensive processing and analysis of magnetic data to accurately locate and classify underwater cables, pipelines, and unexploded ordnance (UXO). We identify some challenges associated with accurately interpreting marine magnetic data and highlight differences between using single or gradient magnetometers.Using magnetic data combined with new processing and analysis workflows, consultants and surveyors now have the ability to carry out rapid data processing to detect and analyze targets for effective marine site investigation surveys with a greater confidence in the results, reducing the risk of re-acquiring data or missing UXO targets.

Any balcony or staircase needs to have a railing. Without the railing the balcony or the staircase looks bare. At the same time, you cannot have space such as a balcony without a railing for safety reasons. Therefore, whenever you are making such a space you need to get yourself a railing to go with the space as well.
There are all kinds of railings or balustrades Wollongong in the current market. Different people make them using different materials. However, the best railing is always found with the best professional builders as they put a lot of time and energy into creating something wholesome and high in quality. You will see special features in such railings.
A Number of Styles to Choose From
The best builders of railings never create just one or two styles of railing and think they are done with the work. They go ahead and create as many styles as they can which are going to suit the different types of architecture used in buildings these days. Therefore, you can easily pick a railing style which goes well with your building without having to waste your time and money searching for the right railing everywhere in the market.
High in Quality
Every railing which is created by the best builders is created to safeguard quality standards. First of all, these creations are well planned. Therefore, the construction of them is easier as the builders think about every piece during the planning stage. During the construction stage they use the best tools as well as the labour of professionals with expert knowledge about such work. Therefore, the end result always carries high quality.
Strong and Durable
You do not have to worry about the durability of the railing you get as all of them are going to be created using lasting and strong materials. Therefore, you are going to see qualtiy gates in Wollongong as well as ones made with glass. There are not going to be ones made with materials such as low quality timber as they do not last long especially when it is fixed to an exterior portion of a building.
Supplied Without Delay
When you are getting your railing from the best people you can find for the job you will not have to place an order and wait for a long time to get what you ordered. They are going to deliver your order before long and also make sure to provide them by the time they promise to.
Make a wise railing choice as it affects the whole look of your building.

Just how accurate is "Madden" really?
With "Madden NFL 18" officially hitting shelves Friday, we decided to run a simulated season in order to see how the latest installment in the long-running football simulation franchise would predict the upcoming league year will play out.
Here are 18 takeaways from Shutdown Corner's simulated "Madden" season:
1. The Super Bowl champ was exactly who you'd expect
It shouldn't come as a surprise that New England won the Super Bowl for the second year in a row. Tom Brady (who is on the game's cover) threw five touchdowns en route to a 32-19 win over the Seahawks.
2. But the Patriots didn't finish with the best regular-season record
While they lost in the Super Bowl, the Seahawks did sport the league's best record, going 14-2 in the regular season.
3. A first-time MVP?
In addition to having the league's best record, Seattle also had the league MVP. Russell Wilson's 4,101 yards, 36 TDs and a record-setting 73% completion rate were more than enough to take home the honor.
4. No perfection for Patriots. Not even close
New England, a team that some believe can make a run at a perfect 19-0 record, fell short of that goal, going 12-4. The Patriots did go a perfect 6-0 in the AFC East as well as going 4-0 against NFC opponents.
5. Surprising Saints
While the Patriots' 12-4 record was a surprise in a negative way, New Orleans' 12-4 mark was a surprise in a positive way. The Saints won the NFC South by three games and were 7-1 (shocker) at home.
6. Fantasy players take note: "Madden" thinks Adrian Peterson has a lot left
New Orleans was bolstered by a strong performance from Adrian Peterson. The newly acquired running back rushed for 1,150 yards and 10 TDs on 289 carries – something the Saints would certainly sign up for this year.
7. "Beast Mode" still going strong
Speaking of running backs in new places, new Oakland Raider Marshawn Lynch was all about that action, boss. "Beast Mode" finished fifth in the league in rushing with 1,264 yards and surpassed the 300-carry mark (303) while adding nine TDs.
8. Todd Gurley gets out of his slump
Keeping with the rushing theme, Todd Gurley had a bounce-back year, leading the league in rushing (1,436 yards) for the playoff-bound (!) Rams.
9. Blake Bortles was … great?
In the most stunning takeaway from the simulation, Blake Bortles wasn't just good, he was elite. The embattled Jaguars QB threw for 4,347 yards and had a 7:1 TD to INT ratio (28:4). Jacksonville didn't make the playoffs but it did finish 9-7.
10. No one signed Colin Kaepernick
The NFL's most famous free agent couldn't even get a contract in the video game
11. Dak has a nice sophomore season
Dak Prescott proved to be more than just a one-hit wonder. The Cowboys QB threw for 4,123 yards, 34 TDs and 17 INTs for 9-7 Dallas.
12. Kizer leads the rookie QBs
In an attempt to replicate Prescott's impressive rookie campaign, the trio of Mitchell Trubisky, Deshaun Watson, and DeShone Kizer played very well. Kizer was the best of the bunch, throwing for 3,630 yards, 28 TDs and 13 INTs. Kizer's Browns also had the best record for a team starting a rookie QB (6-10). Pat Mahomes backed up Alex Smith for the majority of the season.
13. Winless Jets? Not even close
The Jets weren't as bad as the probably will be in real life. New York finished 4-12 but did give up a league-worst 493 points. Todd Bowles was fired but replaced with Adam Gase. You read that right, because …
14. Didn't see that one coming
… Gase was fired by Miami after the season. In addition to Bowles and Gase, the Redskins fired Jay Gruden and the Colts fired Chuck Pagano.
15. There was good reason for those virtual firings
Miami, Washington, and Indianapolis all fired their coaches because they tied for the league's worst record: 3-13. That's right, all three of these teams finished behind the Jets.
16. This won't help Cousins' free agency
Speaking of bad teams, Washington was the biggest disappointment of the "Madden" simulation. Kirk Cousins had an uncharacteristically bad year (2,844 yards, 18 TDs, 12 INT) leading an overall dismal offense. Washington did not have a single skill position player top 1,000 yards and finished 30th in points per game.
17. Andy Reid retires?
Among the myriad retirements at the end of the season were Larry Fitzgerald, James Harrison and Andy Reid.
18. A new home for Brees
While the Cardinals lost one future Hall of Famer in Fitzgerald, it picked up another by signing Drew Brees to a one-year, $22.5 million contract at the end of the season.
So there you have it, a look at EXACTLY what is going to happen in the 2017 NFL season – according to "Madden" at least.

Bacon-wrapped hot dogs and fresh fruit sold on the sidewalks may be quintessentially Los Angeles, but street vendors aren't legal here.
Now L.A. city councilmen Jose Huizar and Curren Price have asked the city for a study to figure out how to legalize and regulate street vending.
Janet Favela, an organizer with the Los Angeles Street Vendor Campaign, grew up selling fruit on the streets of South L.A.
"We would go into the streets and start selling, so it was kind of like a family thing," said Favela. "I would be the one yelling 'sandia!'"
Under current law, vendors can have their equipment confiscated, face heavy fines and even be arrested.
"As it is now, we have a lose-lose situation for everybody," said Huizar. "Consumers are at risk because they can't be certain that their food is safe. Vendors are also at risk because they have to work in the shadows without protections that most of us enjoy. And city departments and our city resources are at risk because they spend a lot of time dealing with the aftermath."
Street vendors can be seen selling everything from food to clothing to electronics, and they aren't always appreciated.
"They seem to take away other people's businesses, or they're harassing customers that come out of the stores and stuff like that," said Alhambra resident Quentin Williams.
Some restaurants and other businesses may not like the idea, but proponents of legalization say that regulation would solve most of the problems for a business that will otherwise keep operating in the shadows.
"The complaints are that they don't pay taxes, that they didn't pay for their location, that they're not working in a sanitary way," said Favela. "Regulation means that those are all things that street vendors are going to have to participate in."
The proposal is now in committee, and various city agencies will report back in 90 days with their findings.
"We're trying to figure out how other cities have done it, and how we can encourage an entrepreneurial spirit, at the same time respecting the brick and mortar investment that businesses have made," said Curren Price.

"The measure of a speech is not in the awards or praise a speaker receives. The measure of a speech is in its ability to change behavior. Ed's speech challenged me to re-think some of my own responses and made me want to change the way I do things."
Marsha H. Perkins
"The leadership summit was a great success, and your portion was the highlight! Your presentation was personal, on-point, and fun!"
Lisa Beckman
"Ed has worked with our organization for a number of years and is a key component of our Leadership Boot Camp. His keynote speech always engages the audience and demonstrates that his techniques work. Each time, the participants are surprised at how much they can achieve and how a different mindset can make all the difference in terms of effective communication."
Morag Barrett, Director
"The presentation was very uplifting, and I enjoyed Ed Tate's enthusiasm.
[He told us] how important it is to accept change, and it was shocking
to learn how costly it can be to defy change."
LaNell Kohtz
"It was one of the best (if not the best) presentation I have ever attended.
The presentation was timely since our area is experiencing a restructuring, and we feel uncertainty. I am certainly going to apply his tools and suggestions in my work life, and in my personal and family life."
Barb Schroeder
"Thank you for your stellar job speaking to us all
Benjamin Poor
"I was telling my wife about your presentation…
Rich Trombetta
"I recently employed many of the principles you informed us of and was able to deliver a convincing speech at a recruiting information session I spoke at. In addition to closing with a great fact, I did a good job of speaking to all parts of the auditorium vs. only the left side, which has been my tendency."
Shaun Horrigan
"Ed is full of energy, very charismatic, and at the same time, realistic.
Jennifer M. Rottler

Linda Hamilton
"Ed improved my managerial skills."
Robert Greenwood

Everyone needs and longs for true intimacy, but many run from it because of hurt and disappointment they've encountered in close relationships. Instead, they seek to control and fill their relational void through pseudo connections. Dr. Schaumburg goes beyond behavioral symptoms and willpower-based solutions to provide Biblical guideposts on the journey to restoration.Even at young ages, children should be taught about areas of their body that shouldna#39;t be touched by someone other than a parent or physician. Young children can learn this by coloring areas that shouldna#39;t be touched on childlike figures of people. ... I encourage you to talk with local educators or bookstore personnel to locate one or more of the excellent books on this topic. As children get older, ... Ita#39;s easy to forget the obvious fact that God created sex in an ideal, pre-fallen world.

Kure Beach, NC (PRWEB) September 26, 2010
Fall has officially kicked off and Kure Beach, N.C., continues to offer an irresistible combination of activities and special deals for visitors. An autumn trip to this seaside town is filled with value and, best of all, it's one big playground.
Throughout the fall, Kure Beach is the headquarters for visitors who come to attend many events in the area. It shares this barrier island, known as Pleasure Island, with Carolina Beach.
On Oct. 9 and 10, Kure Beach visitors can jam at the annual Pleasure Island Seafood, Blues & Jazz Festival. Music legend Leon Russell will headline the event and will be joined by other regionally- and nationally-recognized musicians. The festival will also feature a Kidz Zone with magicians, juggling acts and clowns, and a Fine Arts Plaza, complete with crafts and wine tastings.
The family-oriented Pleasure Island Surf Fishing Challenge will take place Oct. 15 through Oct. 17 and will give 250 surf anglers a chance to compete for more than $12,000 in cash and prizes. Proceeds from the event will go toward the Big Buddy Program and the Cape Fear Volunteer Center.
Kure Beach itself offers one of the most unique experiences built around Halloween. Children and their families can have a howling good time at the North Carolina Aquarium's Trick Or Treat Under The Sea event on Oct. 27 and 28. The two-day party will feature indoor trick-or-treating, face painting, story-telling, magic shows and haunted gardens.
Kure Beach is known as "North Carolina's Small Wonder" and it's easy to see why. Located on the southern end of Pleasure Island, it's one of the most family-friendly beach towns on the East Coast.
As a single-stoplight town, it offers a relaxing atmosphere, yet there's plenty of action for those looking for more excitement. Kure Beach is surrounded by salt water and fresh water, offering lots of things to do for those who love the water.
Oceanside, the beach presents opportunities to stretch out and enjoy the gentle sun, take a stroll or do some fishing. Temperatures average in the 70s throughout the fall, but at midday, the strong Carolina sun makes the sand and air feel much warmer.
Scuba divers can enjoy exploring old shipwrecks under the sea just offshore. Gentler waterways are ideal for stand up paddleboarding and kayaking excursions that take visitors up close to area wildlife.
Fishing enthusiasts will love the Kure Beach pier. Built in 1923, it is the oldest pier on the Atlantic coast. It stretches more than 700 feet long and is a great place to see what's biting. Just up the road is the Carolina Beach Fishing Center and Marina which offers several charter boats.
Fall is a perfect time to get in touch with nature and Kure Beach has numerous nature excursions and guided tours. The Fort Fisher State Recreation Area not only offers visitors a chance to walk along five miles of white, sandy beach, but also a boardwalk that leads over the sand dunes to the beach to see one of the few undeveloped stretches along the southern coast. There's also a variety of wildlife to see and touch, from sea stars and keyhole urchins to the endangered loggerhead sea turtles.
Family-friendly attractions are found everywhere in Kure Beach. One of the area's must-sees is the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher, which showcases marine life found in the Cape Fear River basin and the nearby beaches, estuaries and ocean. The aquarium also features daily shark feeding demonstrations in a 235,000-gallon shark tank; a half-acre conservatory with alligators, sturgeon and other freshwater species; and a gallery featuring 300 marine creatures.
For history buffs, Kure Beach is a treasure. A short distance from the aquarium is an area honoring the largest land fortress in the South, the Fort Fisher State Historic Site and Civil War Museum. Fort Fisher was one of the last strongholds of the Confederacy.
All that activity works up an appetite and Kure Beach has that covered too. Some of the freshest seafood anywhere is served in Kure Beach's coastal island-style restaurants.
Just a short drive from Pleasure Island is the charming city of Wilmington. There, visitors can enjoy a carriage tour or ghost walk, tour the USS Battleship North Carolina Memorial or see some of the area's historic homes.
Several Kure Beach accommodations offer discounted fall rates. To learn more about Kure Beach and its fall offerings, visit http://www.visitkure.com/fall. Also, find Kure Beach on Facebook and Twitter.

Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to make 4 thin cutlets. Put between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet or heavy skillet until 1/4-inch thick.
Cut any hard crusts off the bread with a serrated knife, then cut the bread into cubes. Add the bread cubes to a food processor with the motor running, a few pieces at a time, and process to make coarse crumbs (you will have about 1 1/4 cups crumbs).
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the breadcrumbs and cook, stirring, until golden and crisp, about 3 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons parmesan and cook, stirring, until melted, about 1 more minute. Transfer to a bowl and stir in 2 tablespoons basil; set aside. Preheat the broiler.
Return the skillet to medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle the chicken with 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste; add to the skillet (in batches, if necessary) and cook until golden and just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
Add the tomato puree, then rinse out the can with 1 cup water and add to the skillet. Add the garlic, red pepper flakes and 1 tablespoon parmesan; reduce the heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup basil and season with salt and pepper.
Return the chicken to the skillet, turning to coat with the sauce. Top with the remaining 1 tablespoon parmesan and all but a few tablespoons of the toasted breadcrumb mixture. Sprinkle with the mozzarella and the remaining breadcrumbs. Broil until the cheese melts, 1 to 2 minutes.

I don't have to work.
I don't have to do nothing
but eat, drink, stay black, and die.
This little old furnished room's
so small I can't whip a cat
without getting fur in my mouth
and my landlady's so old
her features is all run together
and God knows she sure can overcharge—
Which is why I reckon I does
have to work after all.

"A lot of people in the bourgeoisie tell me they don't like Rap Brown when he says, 'I'm gon' burn the country down,' but every time Rap Brown says, 'I'm gon' burn the country down,' they get a poverty program."

"We may risk the prediction that we are entering into an era of riots, which will be transitional and extremely violent. It will define the reproduction crisis of the proletariat, and thus of capitalism, as an important structural element of the following period. By 'riots' we mean struggles for demands or struggles without demands that will take violent forms and will transform the urban environments into areas of unrest; the riots are not revolution, even the insurgency is not revolution, although it may be the beginning of a revolution."

P0552 code definition
If the PCM has picked up on an issue with your vehicle's power steering pressure sensor circuit, a code P0552 will be stored. This code is often stored along with P0551 and others related to power steering.
What the P0552 code means
Your vehicle's PCM is able to keep tabs on the power steering pressure sensor because the latter sends it regular voltage inputs. The same goes for the steering angle sensor input signal. The PCM compares the two and, so long as they're proportionate, there is no issue.
However, if the PCM calculates that the two are not in accord, it will store the P0552 code. Generally, it is more likely to happen when you're driving around at low speeds.
In a lot of vehicles, the problem has to happen more than once before the P0522 code is registered. If it only happens once, that initial mishap is simply considered a "pending code."
The same also goes for the Check Engine Light. Many vehicles are designed not to trigger this light until two or more failure cycles have occurred.
What causes the P0552 code?
There are a handful of reasons your vehicle's PCN may have stored P0552 code:
- A faulty power steering pressure sensor is by far the most common reason for this code
- Lackluster power steering fluid
- Failure of the steering pump
- Failure of the rack and pinion
- Open electric connectors and circuitry
- Shorted electric connectors and circuitry
What are the symptoms of the P0552 code?
The P0552 code may be associated with a number of symptoms. Your power steering could actually leak fluid. When traveling at low speeds, you could find that your engine all of a sudden stalls. Most will also notice that their fuel efficiency begins to lack.
It should be noted that, sometimes, the driver actually won't have any adverse symptoms to report. As we mentioned above, the Check Engine Light may not even come on.
How does a mechanic diagnose the P0552 code?
Your mechanic will begin by using an OBD-II scanner to access your PCM and see which codes have been stored. After that, they'll most likely go to work by inspecting all the wires and connectors involved with your vehicle's power steering. Fuses may need to be examined as well.
Moving on, the mechanic will check to see if the power steering works correctly. They'll look for leakages and confirm that the power steering fluid is clean.
Common mistakes when diagnosing the P0552 code
A lot of mechanics make the mistake of blaming the idle air control system for code P0552. As a result, they replace it, which turns out to be completely unnecessary. The mistake is made because many of the aforementioned causes the engine to stall out at low speeds.
How serious is the P0552 code?
The good news is that this code doesn't represent anything that should have you too worried. You most likely won't be getting in a serious accident because your vehicle stalls at low RPMs, for example.
That being said, the bad news is that your vehicle really won't work correctly until you get this issue addressed. In that way, it's very important you get this code fixed ASAP.
What repairs can fix the P0552 code?
Seeing as how a faulty power steering pressure sensor is usually to blame, your mechanic will most likely replace yours and that will be the end of it. Otherwise, they may:
- Replace or repair the steering pump
- Replace or repair the rack and pinion
- Address any wires or electrical components that have been compromised
- Replace the power steering fluid
Additional comments for consideration regarding the P0552 code
Even though symptoms may be tolerable, the reasons for them can worsen, so it's best to just have a mechanic repair this problem immediately.

When there isnt a festival on in Edinburgh (think Hogmany at New Year, International Festival in August, The Fringe, the Book Festival, the Film Festival etc etc..) there is still plenty for the intrepid tourist to look at. The best way to explore Edinburgh is on foot, although if you dont like walking or hills, you may also opt for one of the many tourist buses or bespoke tours. To get you off to a flying start we have listed below the must see attractions in Edinburgh that are on the tick list for most tourists. Starting with the most popular...
Arthurs Seat is the main peak of the group of hills which form most of Holyrood Park, a remarkably wild piece of highland landscape in the centre of the city of Edinburgh, about a mile to the east of Edinburgh Castle. The hill rises above the city to a height of 251 m (820 ft), provides excellent panoramic views of the city, is quite easy to climb, and is a popular walk. Though it can be climbed from almost any direction, the easiest and simplest ascent is from the East, where a grassy slope rises above Dunsapie Loch.
Edinburgh Castle is a fortress which dominates the sky-line of the city of Edinburgh, Scotland, from its position atop the volcanic Castle Rock. Human habitation of the site is dated back as far as the 9th century BC, although the nature of early settlement is unclear. There has been a royal castle here since at least the reign of David I in the 12th century, and the site continued to be a royal residence until the Union of the Crowns in 1603. As one of the most important fortresses in the Kingdom of Scotland, Edinburgh Castle has been involved in many historical conflicts, from the Wars of Scottish Independence in the 14th century, up to the Jacobite Rising of 1745, and has been besieged, both successfully and unsuccessfully, on several occasions. From the later 17th century, the castle became a military base, with a large garrison. Its importance as a historic monument was recognised from the 19th century, and various restoration programmes have been carried out since.
The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh is a scientific centre for the study of plants, their diversity and conservation, as well as a popular tourist attraction. Originally founded founded in 1670 as a physic garden to grow medicinal plants, today it occupies four sites across Scotland Edinburgh, Dawyck, Logan and Benmore each with its own specialist collection. The RBGE's living collection consists of more than 15,000 plant species, (41,00 accessions) whilst the herbarium contains in excess of 3 million preserved specimens. The Edinburgh site is the main garden.
Her Majesty's Yacht Britannia is the former Royal Yacht of the British royal family, the 83rd such vessel since the restoration of King Charles II in 1660. She is the second Royal yacht to bear the name, the first being the famous racing cutter built for The Prince of Wales in 1893. She is now permanently moored as an exhibition ship at Ocean Terminal, Leith, Edinburgh, Scotland.
The Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh, Scotland, is a building which, together with the adjacent Royal Museum, comprises the National Museum of Scotland. It is dedicated to the history, people and culture of Scotland. The museum is on Chambers Street, in central Edinburgh. It is part of the National Museums of Scotland. Admission is free. Opened in 1998, incorporating collections from the National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland and Scottish items from the Royal Museum, the museum possesses a distinctive look.
he National Gallery of Scotland, in Edinburgh, is the national art gallery of Scotland. An elaborate neoclassical edifice, it stands on The Mound, between the two sections of Edinburgh's Princes Street Gardens. The building, which was designed by William Henry Playfair, first opened to the public in 1859.[1] The National Gallery shares the Mound with the Royal Scottish Academy Building. In 1912 both were remodelled by William Thomas Oldrieve. When it re-opened, the gallery concentrated on building its permanent collection of Scottish and European art for the nation. The archive and study facilities at the National Gallery include the Prints and Drawings Collection of over 30,000 works on paper, from the early Renaissance to the late nineteenth century; and the reference-only research library, which is available to the general public. The library covers the period from 1300 to 1900 and holds approximately 50,000 volumes of books, journals, slides, photographs and microfiches, as well as archived material relating to the collections, exhibitions and history of the National Gallery.
he Royal Mile is a succession of streets which form the main thoroughfare of the Old Town of the city of Edinburgh in Scotland. As the name suggests, the Royal Mile is approximately one Scots mile long,[1] and runs between two foci of history in Scotland, from Edinburgh Castle at the top of the Castle Rock down to Holyrood Abbey. The streets which make up the Royal Mile are (west to east) Castle Esplanade, Castlehill, Lawnmarket, High Street, Canongate and Abbey Strand. The Royal Mile is Edinburgh Old Town's busiest tourist street, rivalled only by Princes Street in the New Town.
A prominent feature of the Edinburgh skyline, St. Giles' Cathedral or the High Kirk of Edinburgh is a Church of Scotland place of worship decorating the midpoint of the Royal Mile with its distinctive traditional Scottish crown steeple. The church has been one of Edinburgh's religious focal points for approximately 900 years. Today it is sometimes regarded as the mother church of Presbyterianism.
The Scott Monument is a Victorian Gothic monument to Scottish author Sir Walter Scott (not to be confused with the National Monument). It stands in Princes Street Gardens in Edinburgh, opposite the Jenners department store on Princes Street and near to Edinburgh Waverley Railway Station. The tower is 200 feet 6 inches (61.11 m) high, and has a series of viewing decks reached by a series of narrow spiral staircases giving panoramic views of central Edinburgh and its surroundings. The highest viewing deck is reached by a total of 287 steps (those who climb the steps can obtain a certificate commemorating the event). It is built from Binnie shale quarried in nearby Livingston; the oil which continues to leech from its matrix has helped to glue the notoriously filthy atmosphere of Victorian Edinburgh (then nicknamed "Auld Reekie" old smokey) to the tower, leaving it an unintended sooty-black colour. Bill Bryson has described it as looking like a "gothic rocket ship".
Holyrood Park (also called Queen's Park, and formerly King's Park) is a royal park in central Edinburgh, Scotland. It has an array of hills, lochs, glens, ridges, basalt cliffs, and patches of whin (gorse) within its 650-acre (260 ha) area. The park is associated with the royal palace of Holyroodhouse, and was formerly a 12th-century royal hunting estate, although it is now publicly accessible. Arthur's Seat, the highest point in Edinburgh, is at the centre of the park, with the cliffs of Salisbury Crags to the west. There are three lochs; St Margaret's Loch, Dunsapie Loch, and Duddingston Loch. The ruined St Anthony's Chapel stands above St Margaret's Loch. Queen's Drive is the main route through the Park, and is partly closed on Sundays to motor vehicles.[1] St Margaret's Well and St Anthony's Well are both natural springs within the park. Holyrood Park is located to the south-east of the Old Town, at the edge of the city centre. Abbeyhill is to the north, and Duddingston village to the east. The University of Edinburgh's Pollock Halls of Residence are to the south-west, and Dumbiedykes is to the west.

Collection Highlights
Do I contradict myself?
Very well then . . . . I contradict myself;
I am large . . . . I contain multitudes.
Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass, 1855
Founded in 1911 when Yale College graduate Owen Franklin Aldis donated his distinguished library of first editions of American fiction, drama, and poetry to the Yale Library, the Collection of American Literature is one of the most important collections of its kind. In the century following Aldis's gift, the Collection has continued to grow, building on core areas and expanding to include complementary materials, from individual manuscripts to expansive literary archives, from little magazines and lively ephemera to high-tech artists' books. In 2011, collection highlights wer exhibited in Multitudes: A Celebration of the Yale Collection of American Literature, 1911 – 2011. This exhibition revealed areas of bibliographic strength and new development while demonstrating the Collection's extraordinary richness, eclecticism, and depth. From the colonial period to the present, the Collection celebrates American Literature as a living art form with a complex history. Its evolving and vibrant traditions are a subject worthy of rigorous scholarly attention as well as leisurely pursuit for the general reader.
