There are of course many reasons a man might lose his hair. Many men have hair loss in their genes. There are those who believe that environmental factors such as stress or work environment play a role as well. No matter what the cause you should not ignore the options. Your hair loss can be minimized with any one of the many options available to you. Most of the time the best solution to hair loss can be found in the knowledge available to you. In this article we will talk about some of the best ways to deal with hair loss. Some studies will show you that using Saw Palmetto would be a tremendous help. One available option is Retane, which is often billed as a cure for men's hair loss. The FDA has not tested or approved Retane, so tread carefully when using this method. Retane revitalizes your scalp through the use of a topical application that stimulates hair growth. It is a spray on solution that you mix yourself in the spray bottle provided. Be sure to cover your entire scalp to ensure the best head of hair possible. Retane is supposed to be all natural but you should discuss it with your doctor first to be safe.If you are looking for more healthy herbs, you should take a glance at Gymnema and read more about it.
You must first consider why you are losing your hair before you can make an informed treatment decision. Many cancer patients who have undergone chemotherapy experience hair loss as a result of the treatment. Hair loss should not be treated until the body has had time to heal from chemotherapy treatmet. Working with any sort of hair loss treatment may cause more harm than good in these cases. Your doctor should be made aware of your decision to treat prior to beginning any treatment no matter how minor.
Another method that is becoming popular is Laser Comb treatment. The above method is quite simple in fact, it is nothing more than laser lights stimulating the scalp to promote hair growth. This method has not yet been approved by the FDA but they are in the process of clearing it. Lots of men swear by the efficacy of the Laser Comb in reversing the effects of men's hair loss. Talk to your doctor to find out what he or she thinks. This method might just be the perfect one for you.
Men's hair loss can happen for a number of reasons. Before you start buying up every hair replacement product on the market, you need to figure out why your hair is thinning in the first place. Talk to your doctor to find out if there is a medical reason for the loss. Find a good dermatologist to help you out.
To answer your questions you simply need to ask for the answers by asking the question and voicing your opinions.

How is the adventure into Edtechland going for your students? I can't wait to read your follow up post on their reactions. My students love the wiki, but at first they had struggled with an online learning platform like Moodle. Did you find any problems?ReplyDelete
Thanks, Shelly for your comment! Last year I used the wiki and my students didn't have much trouble joining and making use of it. This year with the blogs they need more help. Many of them created a new blog instead of accepting my invitation to join the class blog. It's not a problem for me and I can follow their blogs. The question is that many of them have felt at a loss. Before a class starts, I help them to solve their problems in the language school. Anyway, the communication is fluent and most of them send comments to me in English and I reply so they're using the language for real communication.ReplyDelete
In my next post I'll write about it.
Hi Marisa,ReplyDelete
I love the idea of using Wallwisher as a way to enable your students to share their plans, expectations and wishes for their learning year!
I too find Twitter a fantastic place for sharing information and help, and for building a PLN - I wouldn't be without it now.
Thanks, Angela, for your comment. I've had your same experience. I started in Twitter at the end of 2008 because I was curious and I've met so amazing colleagues that I've got hooked. I wouldn't live without it, either.ReplyDelete
By the way, I'm @Mtranslator in Twitter. Feel free to follow me.
Hi Marisa !! I just discovered your blog by reading Adam Simpson´s tweet! Love your ideas, I sort of made the same this year: Padlet, Edmodo...some tools to spice up my Cambridge exam students! Best wishes and meet you online!ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Fabiana,Delete
As the saying goes 'last but not least', I've just seen your comment. I'm ashamed to admit I haven't written a post in my blog for quite a while.
Anyway, thanks for making a comment and sharing your experiences.
See you around!

A personal loan is a lump sum provided to an individual by a bank, credit agency, or private lender, in order for them to use for personal expenses. Personal loans come with lower interest rates than credit cards, so funding a big expense or project with a personal loan could save you thousands of rands on interest payments.
The amount of money you are able to borrow with a personal loan varies based on the lender as well as your credit history. Personal loans usually, however, range between R5000 to R100 000. If you wish to borrow more, lenders may require that you switch to a secured loan instead of the more commonly used unsecure personal loan.
Simply fill in your name, surname, email address and a few other details in order to apply for a personal loan. You will contacted soon after this in order to discuss your loan options.
• Secured personal loans: makes use of collateral
• Unsecured personal loans: no collateral required
• There is no need to risk having your personal property repossessed when applying for an unsecured personal loan
• No upfront payments required
• Predictable interest rates and monthly payments makes for easy budgeting
• Ability to finance your personal expenses immediately
Once you've received your loan amount, you will need to start making monthly installments in order to pay it back. A percentage of this will go towards repaying the fundamental amount borrowed from the lender while the rest will go towards the interest rate.

How to connect three monitors to two GPUs? Please help
I currently use three same AOC IPS 24" 1920x1080 screens plugged into one GPU AMD Sapphire R9 280x. It works well on resolution 5940x1080 (incl. bezel compensation). But now, I would like to upgrade my PC with more powerful GPU. I think that 3GPUs for 3 monitors should be the best solution, but in my current case with not the best cooling system and with my current PSU (1200W) is not a good idea. So is it possible to use only two (e.g. both same) GPUs for three (all same) monitors? In other words Are they able to works properly and in balance if physically one GPU will supply one monitor and the other one two monitors?
Many thanks for the advice

A 1200 watt PSU would be fine for 3 GPU`s, but do you need 3 ?
You want to use all the same series GPU`s preferably all made by the same company with the same specs.
You should connect all your monitors to the top GPU.
Unless all 3 PCI Express slots can run all 3 cards at x8 speed, I would only get 2 cards.

I used to have SLI with 2 different GTX 480s. Different manufacturers, one reference, other was factory overclocked and they still performed well without issues. You can even do SLI with different models (as long as first 3 numbers of dev_id match iirc) from same series with a certain *cough* hack *cough*
Plus, AMD has better compatibility with CrossFire tech as far as I know.
I would go with 2x setup as well as AddRAM suggests. Not all games support CrossFire anyway.

Thank you so much for replies...
So basically, if I'll have two same GPUs interconnected with CrossFire to each other and I'll want to plug in three monitors so I should plug all of them into the upper GPU and both GPUs will be processing even one of them will be without plugged a monitor?

It's been warm here in Sweden - unusually warm. And humid. So we sleep each night with our windows open. Last week something strange happened. Around 3-4 in the morning I wake up a bit bewildered. Had I heard something? Was there a movement?
I look to my left, over the body of my dear sleeping wife, into the living room and I see something floating in the air, making a strange noise. I rush up to look closer, but there's nothing there. I thought I saw a big dove, but maybe it was just me being half awake, half dreaming. I looked out the window onto the balcony, but nothing there either. I finally fell back to sleep. I wake up the next morning speculating if it was actually something I saw for real. My family didn't really believe me when I told them.
No, there was no message from the dove, and a few days ago Lotta told me she had found some bird droppings by our sideboard. So I guess that settles it – there was a dove in the apartement, it got scared when I woke up and flew away. But I can't stop thinking there's a message for me, and it's out there flapping it's wings, spreading its gospel.

"The serenity of the climate, the innumerable pleasing landscapes, and the abundant fertility that unassisted nature puts forth, require only to be enriched by the industry of men with villages, mansions, cottages and other buildings, to render it the most lovely country that can be imagined."
– Captain George Vancouver, 1792
Washington State's pioneering past.
With the railroads came progress, in some cases, at a breakneck pace. While it took the rest of the U.S. almost 50 years to embrace the Industrial Revolution, the transformation in the Washington Territory was a mere 20 years, leading one reporter to write, "Three years seem like a century in these days of fast living."
The new frontier.
Being late to the party had its advantages. Some east coast cities struggled to accommodate new ideas brought on by the Industrial Revolution, such as electricity and horseless carriages. But Washington's cities accommodated them with relative ease. Any hurdles in civic planning came from the challenging geography, not the technological advances of the time.
The dense forests, bountiful fish runs and rich coal reserves used to power the Industrial Revolution gave the state's economy a boost virtually overnight. The Alaska Gold Rush added further fuel to the economic fire as gold fever swept down from the Yukon and into the increasingly crowded cities along the west coast.
Rapid growth did not come without a price. As lumberjacks and mill workers tried to keep up with demand, workplace safety became a heated issue and in response, workers formed the first unions to give workers the eight-hour workday and worker's compensation for job-related injuries.
Within one person's lifetime, Washington had gone from an ancient Native American fishing and hunting ground to groundbreaking political and social experiments and an unrivaled period of innovation and invention, from the mighty dams that tamed the Columbia River to the taming of the atom to bring an end to world war.
About Washington
A unique pioneer spirit.
It was here that Washington's unique pioneer spirit evolved. Early settlers had no choice but to fend for themselves and learn to live off the land. Shipments of goods from the eastern seaboard were at the mercy of fickle winds and unforgiving seas. Facing the uncertainty and inconvenience of daily life was not for everyone. It took grit and perseverance to turn adversity into opportunity and opportunity into progress.
The separation of cultures and ethnicities that was common in other parts of the U.S. was not common in Washington towns. The rough and tumble existence of life in these parts required that settlers turn to one another to survive. The common ground became the work to be done and your neighbor was judged by their work ethic, not their ethnicity.
Men, women and children came from all walks of life to seek adventure and prosperity in Washington State. In the small coal town of Roslyn, a town of just 700 residents, 24 nationalities were represented in its one-room schoolhouse.
As with other parts of the country, Washington's fortunes rose and fell with the nation's economy. During World War I, area shipyards turned out a quarter of all ships built during the war. When the Great Depression hit, residents stood in soup lines and lived in shantytowns. Oil replaced coal, closing many of the mines. Lumber continued to provide some stability, but it took a second world war to bring the area back to life.
During World War II, thousands of workers arrived in the state to build bombers, tanks and other weapons of war. At its peak, Boeing's Seattle plant turned out five B-17 bombers a day as everyone pitched in to win the war.
In the Cascade mountains, lumberjacks felled giant, old-growth trees to mill into lumber for airplanes, ships and barracks. In Eastern Washington, workers developed the plutonium used for the Manhattan Project in complete secrecy, transforming the sleepy farm communities of Kennewick, Pasco and Richland – the Tri Cities – into major population centers overnight.
Post-war Washington.
After WW II ended, Washington's economy managed to shift from wartime production to peacetime with few problems. Where Idaho and Oregon's economy were based on harvesting natural resources – which weren't needed in such great quantities after the war – Washington's economy benefitted from Cold War military contracts for new generations of aircraft and ships and the presence of strategically important military bases.
Boeing led the way in this regard, so much so that one economist remarked, "As goes Boeing, so does the Puget Sound region."
Even with Boeing as the region's largest employer, Washington State was hardly a household name, even in the U.S. It wasn't until civic planners secured a world's fair in 1962 that the world began to take notice. Dozens of countries came to Seattle to exhibit at the Century 21 Exposition. The fair not only attracted an international audience but lots of media attention. The fair's iconic Space Needle appeared in thousands of newspapers and on the covers of dozens of magazines around the globe. Even Elvis Presley stopped by to make a movie, about the world's fair.
From boom to bust.
The glory days were not to last forever. In the 1970s, the U.S. government canceled its ambitious supersonic transport project and the layoffs at Boeing followed soon after. With one out of five jobs tied to the aerospace giant, the economy sank to the bottom. Famously, one wag purchased a billboard near the international airport that said, "Will the last one leaving SEATTLE – Please turn out the lights."
It was a hard lesson learned, leaning too heavily on a single economic engine. In the intervening years, the state became more diligent in its quest to create a more diversified economy, one founded on emerging technology sectors. Thanks to the aerospace industry, Washington had a higher percentage of engineers and technology workers than other states, which began to attract new enterprises. This included bold startups in the nascent information and communication technology industry, pioneers like McCaw Cellular, Aldus, Microsoft and Cray.
In Eastern Washington, traditional crops such as apples and cherries began to share the fertile land with grapes and hops. Sales of wine and beer made with premium Washington ingredients began to take off, as did new food manufacturing enterprises. Inexpensive power and plenty of water also gave rise to a new type of farm in Eastern Washington – the data farm – in communities that once relied solely on agriculture for economic growth.
A new direction.
Indeed, Washington continues to reinvent itself on multiple fronts. Thanks to efforts to expand broadband connectivity statewide, rural communities are beginning to become havens for technology-based startups, from gaming and mobile apps to big data. Urban centers such as Spokane, Seattle and Tacoma are enjoying a renaissance, attracting younger workers and families who enjoy the convenience of living in an energetic downtown core.
Local business legends such as Amazon, Costco, Paccar, Nordstrom and Starbucks are being joined by other companies that want to leverage Washington's pioneer spirit and reputation for amazing ideas, including Facebook, SpaceX, Google and Apple.
As a result, exciting new opportunities are coming online. Commercial space, composites, medical devices, cloud computing and energy storage are creating new jobs and potentially entire new industries around the state, built with that same resilience, perseverance and pioneer spirit that made Washington such a unique place to live, work and start a business.

Skout is Great for Social Media Newcomers
August 2015
0 Comments
Skout is an app that has totally changed my life. I not been into social media long, but I did discover Skout through a friend at work, and it quickly become one of my favorite sites. The reason that I found myself spending lots of time on this app had to do with the local connection. It was a great site for me to connect with people locally. I have been able to meet up with some friends and hang out on a regular basis.
In time I have also learned about meeting people abroad as well. I know that I may never meet these people face to face, but it is enjoyable to have someone to confide in. I have used Skout to tell people my secrets knowing that regardless of who they told the information would never get leaked back to me. They are so far away that it seems easy to talk to them and tell these new online friends just about anything.
Another thing that has completely adore about Skout is the dating aspect that this hot new app provides users. It has allowed me to find a couple of nice dates to go to movies and dinner arrangements. The great thing is that these are dates that are not looking for anything that is super serious. To the contrary, these are just a couple of people that have wanted to have fun. I like have a little fun without making any serious commitments. This is the thing that has allowed me to really appreciate all that Skout has. It is a dating app, but it is so much more. I have always hated the term dating app. To me it has been rather easy to embrace Skout because it is like a casual dating atmosphere.
Another thing that makes the app valuable is the multitude of people that are on this app. It is like a global search that gives you one profile after another to check out. I have never been so thrilled to encounter so many people in my life. It is hard to believe that all that I have to do is go to computer or phone, go the web and start using my Skout app. I love it because even when I am away from home I can still have a lot of fun with this app.
My friends that I have met online have been a great source of inspiration. I met a few aspiring writers and even went out on a date with a model. I have never felt so alive. This app is such a small thing, but it has changed my life in ways I cannot explain.

16 Jul Container Gardening Tip #1-Watering
Because some of our containers are on a rooftop, we had to rig up a different watering system for obvious reasons. It wasn't practical to lug buckets up and down the stairs or sling a hose over the roof wall. Drainage was also a potential big problem with a flat roof prone to leaking here and there. Here's how we solved it.
Water Spigot- My dad rigged a water spigot up on the roof to which we attached a hose. It works just like the ones on the ground around the house.
Plant Placement– After drilling holes in our plant containers, we propped them up with bricks underneath two opposite edges.
Water Catchers– To prevent water from hanging out on the roof too long, we purchased the flimsy, foil pans you find at grocery stores to slide underneath to catch the water. These can become mosquito havens so I empty them frequently.
Water Holes– We cut holes in the wall to allow the water to move off the roof. If you want to make the best use of this water, find a way to catch it below and reuse it. And when I empty the water catchers, I just tilt the pans toward the holes in the wall.

From The Desk Of Charles Leaver, Ziften CEO
A business suffers a cyber attack. The system administrators learn about the attack, they wish to know more about it, they send their IT group to attempt and stem the attack and recuperate lost data. This is what occurs after lots of companies have been breached, but then the business typically fails to take the next essential action: the proactive informing of their customers that they have experienced a cyber attack. There have been numerous cases where it has been challenging to get a company to reach out to its consumers and it takes a lot more time and threat than it ought to do.
There is a tendency now that business that have been breached simply do not wish to inform those that have been affected by the attack– their clients– that the attack occurred according to the Portland Press Herald. The factor that companies do not want to tell their customers is completely self-centered. They are concerned that the track record of their company will be damaged if they tell the world about the attack so they always wish to keep this news in house. Both Target and Neiman Marcus did this and waited far too long to inform their clients that they had actually been victims of a cyber attack.
It Is Just Counterproductive To Keep Cyber Attack News Far from Your Clients
It is completely irresponsible to hold back on informing your customers about a cyber attack and it can likewise work against you. If there is a long space between the attack happening and businesses confessing that it took place then it can appear that the company is being dishonest and is not competent to secure client data. In spite of this, companies that have experienced an attack continue to keep this info from their consumers. JP Morgan Chase was an example where there was a delay of around 4 months before they told their customers that they had suffered a significant cyber attack. U.S. Public Interest Research Group consumer program director, Ed Mierzwinski, said there is a lot of work to do when it concerns telling clients that a breach has taken place.
He said that clearing your name was a "headache". He likewise said that it takes a great deal of time and the business does not earn money for doing this.
Regardless of the time and effort involved, it is essential that companies adopt a full recovery process and that they notify their consumers about the cyber attack every step of the way. If the thought of telling your consumers that you have actually been attacked does not appeal then you can prevent attacks from occurring in the first place. If a rigid endpoint detection and response system is installed then a company can safeguard their network and make sure that they will not suffer from a cyber attack and put their client data at risk.

I saw in a few random threads that people weren't getting price matched so I'd like to know what the overall consensus is. Also since the Acekard has a tendency to fail, what are your experiences on returning it and receiving a replacement? Did they take it back 2 months after purchase? Was shipping free or reimbursed? Thanks in advance

Another thing I love about the site is that they often have one of the highest cash back percentages but when they don't, they have a 110% guarantee. This means that if you find a better offer from another free (so not one of the credit card ones like Discover), they will match and surpass it. So if they offer 9% on Store A and Ebates is offering 10% on Store A, you copy Ebates' Store A page and paste it in the guarantee. ShopAtHome will then give you 11%. This sounds like a complicated process to search different sites but luckily there is a shortcut. A site called Cash Reporter (no registration necessary) allows you to search multiple cash back sites at once. You go there (bookmark it), type "Store A" in the search bar and click on the highest link. It will have a popup ask you if you are a member of that site. Click "yes" whether you are or not (otherwise it won't take you to Store A's page, it will take you to a sign up page). This process is a bit tricky at first but after doing it a few times, it will be very quick and second nature. Once you reach $20, they automatically send you a check in the mail. I actually just got one this week from my pre- Black Friday sale shopping.
Add this process to searching for a coupon code on retailmenot and you will save a pretty penny. If you would like to join ShopAtHome, you can click here (this is my referral link which earns me a bonus, you may go to the main site if you don't feel comfortable). When you join and make your first purchase within 30 days, we both get $5 bonus.

Does the world need another knitting blog? The answer is a resounding, "NO." Oh, well. Here it is, anyway.
I am a self-taught knitter still learning the ropes. I thought I'd share some of the things I pick up along the way, and share resources I've found helpful.
Happy knitting!

What Is Cabling? Bracing?
Simply put, cabling and bracing are ways to hold your tree together so it doesn't drop branches or split apart.
We use cables made from extra high strength steel to support branches so they won't move around as much - as a result, they're less likely to break during a storm. The cables are attached to the tree using bolts installed through the branches.
Bracing involves installing a long threaded rod through several branches or stems where they're weak and likely to split. The rod gives more support than a cable and limits the degree of twisting that can happen during violent weather.
When Should You Use Cabling or Bracing?
Many trees are in good health, but have poor structure, such as:
- large, heavy or multiple stems,
- an imbalanced or lopsided tree canopy,
- branches that move around too much, or
- tight crotches that aren't well attached to the main tree trunk.
These are all situations where cabling or bracing can help protect your tree and save your property from damage.
These types of supports should only be installed by a certified arborist after a thorough inspection and evaluation of the tree.
If you notice any of those problems in your trees, give us a call at 440-564-1374 and we'll see if cabling or bracing can help, or if a corrective pruning program is called for instead.
And if you have cables or braces in your tree, be sure to have a certified arborist inspect it closely every year. A cabling or bracing failure can cause extensive damage but is entirely preventable.

I visited Jane yesterday, stepping carefully over oxygen tubes and scattered papers in response to her call to please come by, she had a painting to give me. She worked with oils 25 years ago, and her days closing in like her lungs, wanted me to have this Hopi Indian Woman canvas. Her only son didn't want it.
"Promise me you'll put it in a fancy frame."
Of course I will, I assured her with all true grace mixed with deep knowing. It's not all together attractive, but it's like her very soul that she wants well remembered after she's gone. "Don't you love the deep purples and blues?" she wanted to know.
Don't I want my life put up in a fancy frame, too, and hope my children would think it beautiful?

Clean, safe materials
It's what's inside that matters.
Riles and Co. candles are made with only the best materials: clean, environmentally-sustainable, 100% American grown soy wax free of additives, lead-free and zinc-free cotton wicks, high-quality fragrance oils infused with essential oils and free of phthalates and vanillin. No dyes, additives or stabilizers are ever used, so you're getting the cleanest burning soy candle every time.
Why soy?
Many mass market candles are made with paraffin wax, a petroleum-derived product, which produces toxic petrol-carbon soot and is typically loaded with other not-so-friendly chemicals and carcinogens you wouldn't want in the air you breathe. Soy wax is a better way.
Soy wax is one of the cleanest, longest, safest burning waxes out there. There are an incredible amount of benefits of using soy wax over other types of wax, and I hope you'll enjoy the benefits of burning soy wax candles.
Soy wax is carbon neutral (it doesn't increase carbon dioxide in the atmosphere when burned), burns 50% more slowly than paraffin wax, is biodegradable, produces no known carcinogens into the air when burned, is skin-safe, and typically throws scent better than other waxes.

Malaysia has a large Indian population and its mainstream cooking traditions heavily borrow Indian flavours. This chicken is cooked with cinnamon, star anise, ginger and cloves and coconut milk brings a special Malaysian touch.
This is the authentic way to make Malaysian chicken curry! - 22 Nov 2000 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
This was great & easy as. I did make some changes using what I did have though. Left out Anise pod, tamarind & curry leaves as don't have. Used regular brown onion instead of shallots. Used garlic & ginger out of jars cos that's what I did have. Only used 1 tblspn curry paste to experiment with flavour. Depends on your paste I expect but 4 would have been unbearable. So test it first. Didn't use as much water but did add some cornstarch to thicken. It was really good though & will definitely make again! - 05 Oct 2006 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
The two cups of water makes the sauce watery. Use much less if you want a thicker sauce. - 09 Sep 2001 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)

Brock Lesnar beat Randy Orton in the main event of SummerSlam Sunday night with a ultra-rare TKO finish, splitting open Orton's head with a series of elbow shots that continued even after referees stepped in to check on Orton's condition.
The vast majority of online media believes that Lesnar's attack on Orton was a deliberate attack, meaning that WWE planned to end the match that way – but numerous reports after SummerSlam stated that WWE veteran Chris Jericho confronted Lesnar immediately after the match. WWE.com reported that Orton needed 10 staples to close the gash.
Shane McMahon rushed to the ring to try and stop Lesnar and protect his SmackDown star, but Lesnar responded by hitting McMahon with an F5. The following night on Raw, Stephanie McMahon promised that Lesnar would face repercussions, and that he "absolutely crossed the line."
On Tuesday, WWE announced that Lesnar has been fined $500.
Considering Lesnar is the second highest-paid wrestler on the roster as a part-timer according to Forbes, he probably won't lose too much sleep over the punishment.

Regional Watchdog: Election Staged to Favor Junta-Backed Party Featured
- Written by cgeditor

- Published in Election News Update
- Read 13263 times
Having raised concerns that there was no level playing field for political parties in the period leading up to the November 7 elections in Burma, The Asian Network for Free Elections (AMFREL) yesterday said, "we conclude unfortunately that we were correct to hold this concern."
AMFREL said that at every stage of the electoral process since the very beginning, the USDP enjoyed unfair advantages in terms of resources and membership - as a junta-created mass social organization that was recently transformed to a political party. It said that the Union Election Commission (UEC), a body that is supposed to oversee the electoral process in an impartial manner, was also complicit by failing to step in to provide a level playing field for all political parties.
A regional network made up of civil society organizations from 15 Asian countries, ANFREL has observed elections in nearly all of the countries in Asia since 1997.
In its report the regional election watchdog made particular note of irregularities with regards to advance voting. "Advance votes obtained through fraud or coerced voting was a major problem," said ANFREl, concluding that the practice is part of 'a systematic operation to give the USDP an insurmountable lead before Election Day.'
Electoral fraud and practice of vote fixing through advance voting have been reported throughout Burma during the elections last Sunday. In Chin State, the USDP has enjoyed victory in Mindat, Tedim and Kanpalet, mostly through the advance votes.
According to the Chin Human Rights Organization, a local rights watchdog, the results in Tedim Township of northern Chin State, for example, were swung in favor of the USDP, although ethnic Chin political parties had won the majority of the votes cast on November 7.
ANFREL is set to release a full report on Burma's elections at a later date.

Went fishing today for the first time ever.
Had to go to 4 different places to find a spot where we could get the licenses.
Als:No internet
C-A-L Ranch- printer down
Sport Authority- printer down
Wal-mart- it finally happened but took about an hour to get it all sorted out.
So I dunno, all the waiting around and such-not good right now.
Finally made it up to 2nd dam, figured everything out and got started.
It was pretty okay, mostly I just knew that even though I really wasn't into it, I need to get out of the house and be outside or something.
Said I needed to be home by 330 but of course we don't get home until now. Which okay, maybe being late or whatever isn't a big deal to anyone else. But when I say I need to be home by a certain time-get me there on time. It also didn't help that the entire time all I heard was this:
"So, you don't like it?"
"I think Chelsea's had it."
"Okay, one more cast and we'll go.."
30 minutes later
"Okay, just one more and we'll head out"
"Chelsea you're such a wuss, I bring you out here on one of the warmest days in December and you're freezing?!?"
"So, it's not your thing you don't think?"
"You wouldn't want to come again would you?"
30 minutes later
"Okay as soon as I loose this bait we'll go."
It took everything I had not to just head off down the canyon.
I'm just tired.
I'm not going to write again until I have something positive to say.

Guidelines To Redirect 404.php Page To the HomePage
As website owners know that content and coding are very important for SEO purpose. Especially, coding part, if there are errors in coding, then the evaluation of SEO is low. 404 is one of the important factor that we should pay attention to since if every page or most of pages that are in this situation, can devalue the SEO of your website; and ranking of keywords or websites is not high. If your websites are in WordPress, then you can follow the instructions below to fix it. You can complete the task both by doing manually, and using plugins.
This tutorial will give you specific details about how to redirect 404.php page to homepage. Follow the guidelines, you can fix by yourself.
Method 1:
Find 404.php file and paste the following code in the file. Note, do not include get_header() or wp_footer() or other things if you are editing the page.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
<html> <head> <meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"> </head> </html>
Method 2:
1 2 3 4 5
<?php header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently"); header("Location: ".get_bloginfo('url')); exit(); ?>
Note: You can also get this done by using plugins that supported from WordPress. They give some good options to customize the pages where you want to redirect to. Both methods above only apply for all pages. Check here: wordpress.org/plugins/404–redirected to get the plugins. Following the guidelines in wordpress, you can get it done easily.

HMD Global, the home of Nokia phones, recently introduced to the Egypt market the first smartphone in its portfolio: the Nokia 2. Nokia phones are associated with great battery life, and now a new Nokia smartphone takes battery life to a whole other level. With two-day battery life, the Nokia 2 is built to keep going long after other smartphones need recharging.
Its impressive two-day battery life doesn't come at the expense of performance. Combining a Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ Mobile Platform and a 5-inch, high quality display with the pure, secure and up to date AndroidTM experience, the Nokia 2 offers technology that you can depend on, all day every day.
Juho Sarvikas, Chief Product Officer of HMD Global, said:
People rely on their phones so much these days with many people subconsciously rationing their battery life when out and about so they can last the day. We don't think you should have to do less with your phone which is why we created a smartphone that can power through when other devices need a pit stop.
With the Nokia 2, we wanted to replicate the unique Android experience we've delivered so far with the long-lasting battery which so many fans associate and expect from their Nokia phones. To make this a reality, every component of the Nokia 2- from the display to battery, chipset to system design - has been engineered to draw as little power as possible from the huge battery to give fans a long-lasting phone they can rely on.
Moataz Orabi, Head of Marketing in Egypt for HMD Global, said:
The Nokia 2 is a new smartphone in our wide range of mobile devices offered on a pure Android platform – with a battery life that lasts while other smartphones need recharging. Almost a quarter of mobile users in Egypt are smartphone users and we are delighted to offer them a competitive price under 1,800 Egyptian Pounds (EGP) – without compromising the quality they expect from Nokia phones.
Built to last in every way
The Nokia 2 delivers unrivalled durability in design, drawing on all the hallmarks of the Nokia phone heritage of quality, simplicity and reliability. Its sleek frame is precision-machined from a single block of aluminium while Corning® Gorilla® Glass is complemented by sculpted polycarbonate on the back delivering both a great feel and the build-quality you expect from a Nokia smartphone. Premium materials and thoughtful, ergonomic design combine to create a unique model that's as practical as it is stylish, leaving you free to enjoy an affordable, long-lasting smartphone experience.
Freedom to do more
It's not just about the high capacity 4100 mAh battery, the 5-inch LTPS LCD HD display offers a bright, crisp viewing experience while delivering lower power consumption. The Nokia 2 gives you the freedom to fully immerse yourself in continuous entertainment – from HD videos and crisp, clear photos to your favourite songs, social media, and web browsing – without worrying about running out of battery.
With an 8MP rear camera featuring automatic scene detection and auto focus, the Nokia 2 ensures you get fantastic shots every time. Using the 5MP front camera, you can capture the moment from any angle. You will always have the extra capacity you need for the memories you capture with its dedicated memory card slot and unlimited photo and video uploads to Google Photos.
Always pure, secure and up-to-date Android
Nokia smartphones always offer a pure, secure and up-to-date Android experience, with incredible features like Google Assistant but no preinstalls or skins. Launching with Android Nougat and Android Oreo ready, the Nokia 2 receives monthly security updates so you can be sure that your smartphone is safe and up-to-date.

August 11, 2015 08:15 ET
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Aug. 11, 2015) - Housing starts in the Greater Sudbury Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) were trending at 192 units in July compared to 175 units in June according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). The trend is a six-month moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR) (1) of housing starts.
"The trend in housing starts for the month of July remained relatively flat as the drop in multiple-unit home starts mostly offset the increase in single-detached home starts in Sudbury. The limited population growth continues to restrain demand for new housing." said Aris Gianneskis, CMHC's Market Analyst for Sudbury.
CMHC uses the trend measure as a complement to the monthly SAAR of housing starts to account for considerable swings in monthly estimates and obtain a more complete picture of the state of the housing market. In some situations, analysing only SAAR data can be misleading in some markets, as they are largely driven by the multiples segment of the markets, which can be quite variable from one month to the next.
The standalone monthly SAAR was 285 in July compared to 298 in June due to fewer multiple starts in the month of July. All multiple starts were in Sudbury City in July while more than half of single-detached starts were in areas outside of Sudbury City.
Preliminary Housing Starts data is also available in English and French at the following link: Preliminary Housing Starts Tables
As Canada's authority on housing, CMHC contributes to the stability of the housing market and financial system, provides support for Canadians in housing need, and offers objective housing research and information to Canadian governments, consumers and the housing industry.

(1) All starts figures in this release, other than actual starts and the trend estimate, are seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR) - that is, monthly figures adjusted to remove normal seasonal variation and multiplied by 12 to reflect annual levels. By removing seasonal ups and downs, seasonal adjustment allows for a comparison from one season to the next and from one month to the next. Reporting monthly figures at annual rates indicates the annual level of starts that would be obtained if the monthly pace was maintained for 12 months. This facilitates comparison of the current pace of activity to annual forecasts as well as to historical annual levels.

Best Diet Tip No. 9:
Spice it up.
Add spices or chiles to your food for a flavor boost that can help you feel satisfied.
"Food that is loaded with flavor will stimulate your taste buds and be more satisfying so you won't eat as much," says Perdomo.
When you need something sweet, suck on a red-hot fireball candy for a long-lasting burst of sweetness with just a few calories.
Best Diet Tip No. 10:
Stock your kitchen with healthy convenience foods.
Having ready-to-eat snacks and meals-in-minutes staples on hand sets you up for success. You'll be less likely to hit the drive-through or call in a pizza order if you can make a healthy meal in 5 or 10 minutes.
Sass stocks her kitchen with:
* 94% fat-free microwave popcorn (20-25 calories per cup, and you can make it in two minutes or less)
* Frozen vegetables
* Bags of pre-washed greens
* Canned diced tomatoes
* Canned beans
* Whole-grain wraps or pitas
* Pre-cooked grilled chicken breasts
* A few containers of pre-cooked brown rice
Within minutes, she can toss together a healthy medley.
Best Diet Tip No. 11:
Order childrenâs portions at restaurants.
"When you are eating out, order a child's pizza or a small sandwich as an easy way to trim calories and get your portions under control," suggest Perdomo.
Another trick is to use smaller plates. This helps the portions look like more, and if your mind is satisfied, your stomach likely will be, too.
Best Diet Tip No. 12:
Eat foods in season.
"If you don't love certain fruits or vegetables, it could be because you ate them out of season when they have little taste or flavor," says Pensiero. "When you eat seasonally, fruits and vegetables are more flavorful, at their best, and I promise you won't be disappointed."
At GiGi's Trattoria, her restaurant in Rhinebeck, N.Y., she serves simple fruit desserts, like naturally sweet strawberries topped with aged balsamic vinegar, or low-fat yogurt or fresh berries in a compote.
Best Diet Tip No. 13:
Swap a cup of pasta for a cup of vegetables.
Simply by eating less pasta or bread and more veggies, you could lose a dress or pants size in a year.
"You can save from 100-200 calories if you reduce the portion of starch on your plate and increase the amount of vegetables," says Sass.
Best Diet Tip No. 14:
Use non-food alternatives to cope with stress.
Sooner or later, you're going to be faced with a stressful situation. Instead of turning to food for comfort, be prepared with some non-food tactics that work for you.
Sass suggests reading a few chapters in a novel, listening to music, writing in a journal, practicing meditative deep breathing, or looking at a photo album of loved ones.
Best Diet Tip No. 15:
Be physically active.
Although it may seem counterintuitive, don't use exercise either to punish yourself for eating or to "earn" the right to eat more.
"When you do, it sets up a negative thought pattern, which is why so many people say they hate to exercise," says May.
Instead, focus on how great you feel, how much better you sleep and how much more energy you have when you exercise. Physical activity is good for you whether you are trying to lose weight or not, so keep it positive and build a lifelong habit.

Thinking about the future – Long term plans
Every now and then, I think about what is going to happen to mum as the dementia worsens. You can't help think about it, and at some stage you have to address it. I wonder how long she has with us, ashamed at the very thought and feeling guilty thinking about myself and how long I would be in this role. I think about the other ailments that silent creep up and one day we find out that we have to make adjustments for them as well.
I recently moved mum into a flat that has been adapted for someone who uses a wheelchair, we were struggling at her old home with the bathroom and getting in and out with her, and the new flat has a wet room with shower so it has eased the stress that we used to have in the morning. Additionally with the wheelchair we were having carry it up and down the stairs every day, and with the new flat there is a lift. I have been mindful to start to anticipate some of her needs that will arise. Rather than wait for things to happen, I have tried to put things in place before they are needed, but also I have been trying to maintain mums health by giving her nutrient rich foods, she has been enjoying the smoothies that I have made from the nutri bullet.
That said, some hard questions will need to be answered even asked and there are things that we are going to have to face. It helps if you can where possible put things in place that will benefit your loved one. With mum, using a wheel chair doesn't mean that we don't encourage her to walk, and we are trying to maintain her health as much as possible. For some, as their loved ones get sicker they are faced with
the question 'do we put them into a home' I have thought about it but knowing what I've seen from exposes of homes and what you have read in the paper, I don't think that mum would survive longer than 6 months if that. When mum went into a respite home while I was away on holiday she walked in when I took her in and had to have a wheel chair out, she could barely hold herself up and that was just after a 2 week stay. I am sure not all homes have the same effect on its clients, but that is my experience.
Essentially you have to start to think about how their illness will progress and what will happen if you were no longer able to physically care for your loved one. This is where the support network, family and friends come in. What you do today will have an impact on the outcome of tomorrow.
For now take a moment to think about your current situation, and what additional things could be put in place to further support you in the long term before they happen.

The Samsung Corby Folder looks to be another low-cost mobile phone according to a press release leaked on a Korean website and could end up in the UK as part of the Genio range.
The clamshell design has two cameras; one three megapixel unit for proper snaps and one forward-facing VGA snapper which would usually be used for video calling. If this feature remains it will require the Corby Fold to pack a 3G connection, which would increase both the functionality and the price of the mobile phone.
As with the current Genio range, it is expected that the Corby Fold will be made available in a rainbow of colours aimed at the youth and fashion markets and a microSD memory card slot along with Bluetooth are also present and correct.
The various mobiles within the recently released Genio range are performing well for Samsung in the UK and so the swift arrival of this new Corby phone is likely not long after its release in Korea.

Rossendale Responsible Rescue is one of three local organizations that the Shiva Trust supports in support of its objects.
They are a group of animal lovers and volunteers who live in and around the Rossendale Valley in the North West.

All of their services are free. They raise funds by auctions, sponsorship for various activities including fun runs and just recently a 300 ft bungee jump!
All money raised goes towards any medical treatment needed by the animals and is also now enabling them to branch in to saving dogs from the pound before they are put to sleep.
The group was started 4 years ago by Michaela Howard-Holt and has rapidly grown in size and strength. The group now offer several branches of operation.

Your data is costing you a fortune! How can this be, after all your top executives have rigorously focused on budget and resource management reducing the overlap of applications and the duplication of processing efforts throughout the organization. Congratulations, you have successfully positioned and managed data as a byproduct of application processing. Data is not being handled like the organizational asset everyone claims it to be.
In order to embrace the value and power of data in this rapidly evolving digital era, a companywide approach must be adopted. New roles, responsibilities, organizational commitments and executive buy-in must be generated to elevate the importance of data throughout the organization. In a recent keynote at the MDM and Data Governance Summit, I outlined the responsibilities of a chief data officer. The CDO is an emerging role to which organizations are increasingly turning to help address the growing gaps in managing and harnessing the value of data.
Don't get me wrong. The CIO isn't going anywhere. Bringing on a CDO or adding new authoritative supporting roles should not be a replacement for a CIO, or any other C-level position for that matter. The CDO should be an enhancement to the existing organizational structure and complement the positions that are already working hard to drive the business forward.
Changes, Gaps and Emerging Trends
The need for a new role does not assume that current leaders are not doing their jobs. In fact, it suggests quite the opposite. Business and IT leaders are doing well, and if the landscape of data were to remain the same, we wouldn't need to consider change. But the landscape is changing and it is doing so at a rapid pace. These changes are widening the gaps between business requirements and capabilities and creating new challenges that must be addressed.
Landscape changes The sheer volume of data generated today has drastically altered how organizations must approach their data strategy. This includes data classification, architecture, modeling, quality and management, and governance. The wide array of diverse data sources available to companies today is staggering. The ability and flexibility to adapt as the requirements for these sources change requires dedicated, unyielding attention to internal and external data landscapes.
Gaps and challenges It has become the gold standard to map data strategy to key business initiatives and use tactical data actions to enable the business. The potential value of data far exceeds what is outlined in our current business goals and objectives. The question should no longer be "How can data enable our business?" but rather "What can data allow us to do that we previously thought impossible or that we have not thought of before?"
Emerging trends Social media, location based data, mobile devices, virtualization, cloud technologies, and the general public awareness of data use are all changing how data is created, consumed, managed, distributed and stored. General IT oversight does not address the many facets of emerging data technologies, the capabilities they provide and the risks they present. The organizations that are consistently on top of these emerging trends will be the ones rewarded with competitive advantage.
One Size Does Not Fit All
Not all organizations need or are ready for a CDO. For some, the formal assignment of the authoritative roles and responsibilities that surround and support the company's data will be an appropriate alternative. When considering whether a CDO makes sense in your company, factor in these things:
Organizational culture What does your current C-Structure look like? Will the addition of another C-level executive be welcomed as a valuable enhancement with a focus on a specific organizational asset or will it be viewed as a disruption caused by the misunderstandings about the new role or the emergence of new titles? Be careful not to get hung up on titles if this is the case - focus on responsibility and accountability for the company's data. The purpose of the chief title is to designate the highest authoritative level of a specific business operations responsibility. Note: Not all chief positions report to the CEO. "Are You Ready for a Chief Data Officer?" written by Thomas Redman in the Harvard Business Review is good food for thought on this.
Organizational structure - Organizational charts delineate relationships, lines of empowerment and authority. Organizational structure informs the coordination and supervision of operational procedures. If adding a top-level executive doesn't fit the style of your organizational structure, that's okay. Add a position of data authority (with authority over people, technical resources and budget) at the level that makes sense within your company. Just make sure the position has organizational authority to drive change down and credibility to manage up so data doesn't get lost or ignored in the boardroom.
Size of the organization There are two ways to assess the size of the organization in respect to executive oversight for data: the number of people in the company and the amount of data that flows through the organization. Managing the "people side of data" is a challenge all its own. The more data touchpoints that exist, the more challenges and needs will arise. Larger organizations need more managers as there are inherently more responsibilities; whether the managers should be executives or not goes back to the consideration of culture. Organizations that do not have high employee counts but work with large volumes of data will also significantly benefit from raising the importance of data to the highest authoritative position.
Choose Your Strength Light, Medium or Bold
The executive commitment to not just managing data as an asset but to increasing its value is critical. A companywide focus on data to drive innovation and gain competitive edge needs to be promoted throughout the organization. Redefined or renewed executive focus on data can come in the form of a new C-level executive, the chief data officer, or in the form of executive sponsorship and support of new authoritative positions reporting within the existing organizational structure. Consider these options:
CDO Light For organizations that are not ready to add another Chief position but have an emerging recognition of the importance and value of data. Each line of business reporting into a C-level executive has a position of data authority. These positions are responsible for the oversight, management and promotion of data within their reporting structure. They should be given the authority to act and manage people and resources for all things data-related. They should be encouraged to drive innovation through the use of data and to increase the value of data within their lines of business. For the purposes of maintaining consistency across the organization, they maintain a working relationship with the position solely responsible for enterprise data management. The enterprise data manager leads the organization's data initiatives and should be given the voice and authority to do so. The enterprise level responsibilities of this position focus on the practices and tools used throughout the organization to ensure standardization and reuse. This position is accountable for the reduction of data costs and activities and should regularly audit across the business verticals to ensure all data policies and procedures are followed. Because there is distance between the enterprise data management officer and the senior executive levels, communication between them needs to be clear, transparent and frequent as to the needs, successes and challenges that data presents throughout the organization. The executives under which the enterprise data management officer reports should consistently demonstrate commitment and support for the organization's data strategy. This is illustrated in Figure 1.
Figure 1: CDO Light. For illustration purposes only not a template for organizational structure. Your mileage may vary.
CDO Medium For organizations that have a C-suite with strong technical and business leadership and do not currently want or need to add another C-level position. Nevertheless, executives at these companies realize that data creates significant value. In this model each line of business has a position responsible for the execution of the companywide data strategy developed and managed by the enterprise data team under the direction of the CIO. The vertical data authorities serve as extensions of the enterprise data team which collectively are responsible for the company's data strategy including design and architecture, process and policy, and administration and enforcement. The vertical authorities help to ensure data is shared throughout the organization and that data remains a key business driver. The leader of the enterprise data team will work closely with the CIO to be the consistent voice of data, responsible for effectively communicating data's role in business initiatives. This is illustrated in Figure 2.
Figure 2: CDO Medium. For illustration purposes only not a template for organizational structure. Your mileage may vary.
CDO Bold For organizations with a strong data strategy who are ready to take data to the next level. They realize that data plays a key role in competitive and operational excellence and will seek to drive the business with innovation via the capabilities of data. Managers in these organizations will pull up a chair for the CDO at the boardroom table and welcome him/her with ideas and questions. Instead of asking how data can enable the business, they will ask "What is our data capable of where can it take us next?" and "How can we use our data to set us apart from the competition?" The executive team will not be worried about whether the CDO is replacing them or carving out pieces of their responsibilities because they recognize that the CDO is bringing to the table a new set of responsibilities and capabilities that will help advance the business into uncharted territories. In this model, the chief data officer works with executive peers representing the needs, challenges, and capabilities of data in every business discussion. The CDO is responsible for the enterprise data strategy and cultivating a data-driven culture. All positions that are data-related exist in the CDO's reporting structure. This is illustrated in Figure 3.
Figure 3: CDO Bold. For illustration purposes only not a template for organizational structure. Your mileage may vary.
Addressing the rapidly growing needs and capabilities of data will require new roles and responsibilities. Regardless of how the roles and responsibilities are implemented, the companywide attention to data must increase. The discrete accountability and focus on data created within the organization will maximize data's potential value, drive innovation, and gain competitive edge. Long live the CDO, CIO, CTO, CEO and any other C that can make this happen!
