Way back in February, WhatsApp affirmed they were working to add voice calling services to their famous massaging application in the second quarter of 2014. That time period traveled and went way with no such expansion. Presently WhatsApp's CEO says they are focusing on a first quarter 2015 date to include voice features.
In a presentation at the Code/Mobile event this week, WhatsApp CEO Jan Koum conceded that the development team has various specialized technical obstacles to overcome before dispatching voice features. One of them is that the application itself doesn't have access to the microphones on a some smartphones.
Whatsapp was recently acquired by Facebook, yet Koum said this week that he doesn't think WhatsApp will rival Facebook Messenger, which likewise has free voice call features through WiFi. He said that while Facebook is intended to work with both mobile devices and desktops, WhatsApp is intended to work only on mobile phones, so any voice messages will go to a user's contact list.
Would you utilize WhatsApp to send voice messages to your companions and contacts when the company includes this ambitious feature?

There are a lot of methods out there for creating a brilliant organic garden. All you need to do is find out what they are, and then use them.
If you want to spend more quality time outdoors with your children, why not allowing them to help you with your gardening? Kids are quite eager to pick fruit from a garden, and will help with the planting if they get a nice snack out of it at the end.
If you are a fan of organic, sustainable gardening methods, consider leaving part of your backyard untouched so that natural plants and wildlife can flourish in the area. This will also benefit your cultivated gardens as it will attract more bugs and birds to pollinate your other plants.
It is important to keep the temperature set between 65 and 75 degrees, if you wish to raise plants in the home. Plants require a warmer climate to grow. If your home isn't that warm during in winter, try a heat lamp to use on your organic plants instead.
Top all your garden beds with several inches of organic mulch. Using this much mulch retards weed growth, locks in moisture, and ensures that your plants are well-nourished. Also, the flower beds will look beautifully maintained at all times.
Don't let your organic gardening tasks stack up for very long. Not everyone has time to tend their gardens every day, but by doing little things whenever you have a chance, you can avoid having things pile up. Even if you're just taking the dog for a walk, bend down and pick a few weeds.
Green Plant Material
Use equal parts dried and green plant material for your own compost. Grass clippings, vegetable and fruit leftovers, and grass clippings are all examples of green plant material. Dried plant matter, on the other hand, includes shredded paper, used wood chips and straw. Charcoal, meat, ashes or other diseased plants should not be included in a compost pile.
Would you like to kill those obnoxious weeds naturally? Use several layers of newspapers for weed control. Weeds require sunlight for growing. If you put a thick layer of newspaper on them, weeds will not be able to get light or air, and they will die! It's easy for newspapers to break down over an extended period of time, making them great for compost. It can look more attractive by adding a mulch layer.
If you want to sell your crops, you should become a certified organic gardener. This will increase sales and shows your customers they've been buying from the best.
Organic gardening may sometimes require more effort than resorting to chemicals, but the payoff in the end is well worth the work. Chemicals can be beneficial, but a chemical free organic garden will always produce the best results.
Just about anyone who wants to plant a garden can plant one, but only those who truly understand what it takes will be successful. Use the tips provided here for organic gardening.

The Rev. Aaron Linville was born into the Union Cross Moravian congregation, and grew up in that community. Summer camp at Laurel Ridge was a staple of his childhood, and it is where his call to serve in the Moravian Church developed. That process began with God calling Aaron to attend Moravian Theological Seminary and, over the next three years, became a call to serve as an ordained minister of Moravian Church.
In 2010, Aaron graduated from Lees-McRae College in Banner Elk, NC with Bachelor of Arts degrees in History and Religious Studies. During his time at Lees-McRae, Aaron served as a Bonner Leader, a service scholarship program that allowed him to start a rock climbing team for community children. He also worked on M-Staff at Laurel Ridge for four summers, two of them as manager.
Immediately after Lees-McRae, Aaron attended Moravian Theological Seminary. He graduated in 2013 and was awarded the Herman T. Frueauff Memorial Prize in Moravian History. While in seminary, he served as a student pastor at Edgeboro Moravian with the Rt. Rev. Chris Geisler and Calvary Moravian with the Rt. Rev. Blair Couch.
After graduating from Moravian Theological Seminary, Aaron worked as a supply preacher for several months before beginning an internship at New Philadelphia Moravian while he waited for a call to serve as pastor of a congregation. During this time, Aaron began his relationship with Anthony's Plot, a Moravian Intentional Community that serves the Sunnyside neighborhood in Winston-Salem, and advocates for the homeless population in that city. He now serves with Anthony's Plot as a Covenantal Partner.
Aaron accepted the call to serve as the pastor of Rural Hall Moravian Church, and was installed in November 2015. Aaron and Amy, his wife, are enjoying living in Rural Hall with their cats, Erdmuthe Dorothea Countess von Linville and Komensky Linville, who provide them with hours of entertainment.

If you ever find yourself with a large hospital bill, you can likely reduce the (financial) damages by offering to pay a portion of it ASAP.
Here's another reminder that things are rarely as simple as they seem.
I received an anesthetic via IV not long ago, and when I commented that I had recently overcome my fear of needles - thanks to a seemingly endless stream of blood draws - the doctor informed me that he would be using a very small, "pediatric" needle, much smaller than those used to draw blood, and that I would hardly feel a thing.
The only way most people know how to make a cake today is using a mix from a box. The cake mix industry floundered during its infancy, however (almost falling flat!), for reasons that the manufacturers of the mixes simply could not identify. Psychologists eventually decided that the "just add water" approach to making a cake was just too simple, and that mid-20th-century women weren't buying them because making a cake by simply adding water just didn't feel like "real cooking".

A while ago I watched a very interesting History Channel documentary about Andrew Jackson, 7th President of the United States.
The only two words in the English language with three consecutive doubled letters – at least as far as I've been able to find – are bookkeeper and hookkeeper.

Eyes are a remarkable example of the power of evolution by natural selection. A recent Science Channel documentary asserted that the genes controlling eye development are essentially the same across all animals – fish, birds, humans, everything. Further, a recent article in Scientific American stated that our ability to see three wavelengths of color – vs. the two wavelengths that most animals see – is due to the mutation of a mere 3 chromosomes.

KIPS BAY, Manhattan (PIX11) -- With four men allegedly involved in two livery cab killings now off the street livery cab drivers are breathing a little easier tonight.
But many drivers stop here in the East Side to fuel up and drive to the outer boroughs say its a constant fear that something like this could happen to them.
Police have caught the final suspect thanks to video surveillance showing the alleged carjackers, after they dumped the body of cabbie Aboubacar Bah in the street.
Days later another driver, 49-year-old Maoudo Kane, was found shot once in the head at 3412 Hunter Ave in the Eastchester section of the Bronx.
Police said Saturday that a fourth suspect, Tommy Smalls, had been arrested in Manhattan.
That followed a day after federal investigators announced that they had arrested Jakiem Ewing, Tyron Felder and Kareem Martin in connection with the killings.
Fernando Mateo, a spokesperson for the New York State Federation of Taxi Drivers says its alarming trend that needs to be stopped.
Mateo says he met with the police commissioner asking for the controversial stop and frisk program to be implemented again.
Authorities are also investigating whether these four men were also involved with several armed robberies in Yonkers.
Three of the men were charged with carjacking in federal court. Smalls is currently being arraigned in Federal Court in White Plains.

Darwin's Unfinished Symphony: How Culture Made The Human Mind
When: Friday 29th September / 8pm-9pm
Where: Parliament Hall, St Andrews
Additional information: FREE event / 14+ / Book your tickets now
Humans possess an extraordinary capacity for cultural production, from the arts and language to science and technology. But recent research suggests that our culture is not only a magnificent end product of the evolutionary process, it was also a key driving force behind it. The truly unique characteristics of our species – our intelligence, language, teaching, and cooperation – are not adaptive responses to predators, disease or other external factors. Rather, humans are creatures of their own making. Drawing on his acclaimed popular-science book Darwin's Unfinished Symphony: How Culture Made the Human Mind, which drew huge crowds at the 2017 Hay book festival, Professor Kevin Laland describes how studying animal behavior – including painting elephants, dancing cockatoos, and innovating orangutans – sheds new light on human origins. In a whistle-stop tour through three decades of research, Laland explains how the cultural activities of our ancestors transformed the evolutionary dynamic, to generate a species unlike all others.

Enhancing Your Business with A Cloud-Based VoIP System
For most businesses that have been around for a while, complex phone systems have been the central communications tool, but times have changed. It is
For most businesses that have been around for a while, complex phone systems have been the central communications tool, but times have changed. It is incumbent upon all business owners to explore new technologies in order to see if they can enhance the way business is done, improve customer service, and increase efficiency. In this context, new cloud-based tools are rapidly growing in popularity in the business sector, with many more businesses set to migrate to a cloud-based workflow.
How Your Phone Has Changed for the Better
One example where technology and the cloud have converged to enhance the way that we conduct business is in business phone systems. You may be familiar with those expensive hardware-based PBX boxes that sit on the wall of just about every office. They have been the standard for many years, but the sobering truth is that they are now obsolete.
VoIP phone systems that are cloud-based offer more flexibility, more options, and enhanced workflow. For any business owner interested in improving productivity and their bottom-line, this is great news. Consider just a few of the benefits of these new systems, as follows:
- Flexibility: Through a unique online portal, it is possible to control and program these new cloud-based systems. As a manager, imagine being able to program multiple extensions and have them activate in different ways? You can have multiple lines ring at once so that you never miss another call; you can direct calls from one extension to another as many times as you like so that a call in one country can be diverted to another country where staff are available; and you can even program time-based automated rules so that phone numbers can announce different messages at different times of the day or year.
- IVR (Interactive Voice Response): Used by many modern businesses, this numbered option system provides callers with recorded choices so that they can be directed to wherever they desire within the business structure. Apart from the flexibility of such a system when presented in a simple and easy-to-understand online portal, it can also be used to enhance office efficiency. In fact, some clever users use the IVR system to make their business appear larger than it really is, in order to impress their customers and grow their brand.
- Call recording: Being able to record calls on any extension either on-demand or using a rules-based system allows managers to improve customer service through regular reviews and feedback. It also allows them to resolve disputes with customers quickly and easily through a review of phone calls. The other advantage of such a system is that all calls can be downloaded in a single zipped file.
The Way of Our Business Future
Technology may not always result in greater levels of efficiency, but when it comes to cloud-based VoIP systems, the old style of a hardware box on the wall has certainly had its day! These modern cloud-based communication systems are undoubtedly more powerful, more flexible, and more efficient. This can only be a good thing for businesses!

Protect Our Oaks
It has been recently discovered that Justin Vineyards and Winery, a subsidiary of the Wonderful Company, has illegally removed hundreds of old oak trees and graded hundreds of acres of land. It is believed that the grading of this land was done in order to expand its water reservoir capacity primarily for its wine growing operation in Paso Robles, in North County San Luis Obispo.
The Wonderful Company's tree removal has sparked outrage and calls for a county-wide oak tree protection. There has been a rekindled love of San Luis Obispo's native plant community and specifically its oak trees. Oak tree protections exist in numerous cities and counties throughout the State. The Valley Oak and the Coast Live Oak are native to California and must be protected as part of a healthy and native plant community.
- 1. San Luis Obispo County: Oak Woodlands Management Plan
- 2. San Luis Obispo City Ordinance: No. 1544 (2010)
- 3. Example Oak Ordinance: Monterey County
In 2003, the Native Tree Committee of San Luis Obispo County completed its management plan regarding Oak woodland. In its opening statement, the committee finds that, "farming, ranching, and grazing operations can be compatible with oak woodland conservation."
As of 2010, the City of San Luis Obispo has had an ordinance in place which describes that purpose and process of tree-removal. Dead trees pose a hazard to people and the environment in terms its potential to fall and its potential as fuel for fires. While the city of San Luis Obispo has this ordinance in place (as does Arroyo Grande, Atascadero, and Paso Robles), the county of San Luis Obispo does not have an ordinance in place.
Pro-active protection and management of oak trees is crucial to their prosperity. Monterey County is just one example of an oak tree management plan that could be used as a model for San Luis Obispo.
San Luis Obispo County is home to a number of plant and animal species. Among these species are its oak trees:
- Coast Live Oak (Quercus Agrifolia) left
- Valley Oak; or "Roble" (Quercus Lobata) right
Recent news:

No waist, no hips no thighs
I am usually a size 6 - the waist on these had a gap over my behind, while the thighs were quite tight. If I got a larger size, that gap would be a cavern.Kris | April 8, 2017
Great in every way!
This is my first pair of MK pants, and I am totally pleased with them. Like Lauren, I am now shopping for a pair in another color! (When I find something I love, I always try to buy another one.) The fit is, indeed, slim and I was initially concerned they were too small for me. But they eased up right away and are super comfortable. The regular length is perfect for my 5'9" height. Great job MK!Tara Miller | January 15, 2017

John 12: 1-8
While We're Here
I'm going to begin on a somber note. Alone among creatures, all human societies - in the past, present and everywhere in the the world - have ways to take care of those who have died.* Public rituals, burials and cremations, are very different, but, unlike animals, we don't let the dead lie where they fall. Except when we have to, such as in a war. Or after earthquakes. Or in plane crashes over the sea. And when such disasters occur, the inability of survivors to care for their loved ones makes those events especially tragic or evil. Caring for the body of one who has died, or arranging for its care, no matter how simple or elaborate, is an important way we show respect, honor, and love.
Mary and Martha showed that care for their brother Lazarus when he died. They had his face and hands and feet bound with strips of cloth. They placed him in a tomb - a cave - and rolled a stone in front of it. They mourned, and many came to their home to console them. Jesus also came. Mary and Martha had sent for him days earlier, when Lazarus was ill, but he delayed, so Jesus came to Bethany four days after Lazarus was laid in the tomb. When Martha heard he had arrived, she went out to meet him; she then went back and called her sister Mary, telling her that Jesus was there, and calling for her. When Mary saw Jesus she knelt at his feet and said the same thing that Martha had said to him: "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died." She wept, those who came with her wept, and Jesus also began to weep, for he loved Lazarus, as he loved Mary and Martha. Then Jesus asked where they had laid him, and they brought him to the tomb. He told them, "Take away the stone." But Martha, who knew the care that had been taken with his body, and also knew what would happen if the tomb were opened, said, "Lord, already there is a stench because he has been dead four days." But Jesus insisted, so they rolled away the stone. Then Jesus called for Lazarus and the dead man came out, still bound in strips of cloth. Jesus said to them, "Unbind him, and let him go."
And there he now was - alive, sitting at the dinner table. Back from the dead because of Jesus, who was also at table with them, the guest of honor. Martha served - we can only imagine the kind of feast they must have made - and then Mary got up. She took a pound of costly perfume, made of nard, nard that had come all the way from Nepal or Kashmir. She knelt down and anointed his feet, and wiped them with her hair, as Jesus would wipe the feet of his disciples with a towel days later. A bold move, yes. Extravagant, yes. And loving. Mary would have known about the threat on Jesus's head. She knew that after Jesus had raised Lazarus some of the leaders wanted to put him to death and had given orders that anyone who knew where Jesus was should let them know, so they might arrest him. Instead, Mary and Martha took him into their home and Mary annointed him with precious and costly oil. A perfume that would fill the house ---- stronger - maybe - than the stench that would fill the tomb. She showed him honor, respect, love. A passion strong as the grave.
But Judas didn't get it, or didn't want to get it, or didn't want to show that he got it -- that Jesus would soon be gone and Mary's anointing would be one of the last things she could do for him. Judas would betray Jesus, he'd tell the authorities where he was. So he said, "Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii, and the money given to the poor?" It's a good question. It's a question John knew others would ask, for he makes haste to tell us that Judas didn't really care for the poor, that he was just asking because he wanted to steal the money from the common purse. But the motives of Judas aside, it remains a good question, a question we still ask in all kinds of circumstances: Why spend so much money on wedding, or a funeral, when that money could go to the poor? Why restore the windows or the organ when there is so much suffering in the world? Why costly perfume or luxury of any kind when others do not have enough food?
Jesus answered him, "Leave her alone. She bought it so that she might keep it for the day of my burial. You always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me." You always have the poor with you --- How often those words have been remembered! With these words, many luxury-loving people, ordinary but preoccupied people, and people who want to hold on to their privilege, have breathed a sigh of relief. See -- even Jesus says it. We'll always have the poor with us. There's not that much we can do. It may even be God's will. At the very least there's no rush -- they'll still be there tomorrow, and the next day, and the day after that. We can spend money on other things -- costly perfume, luxuries, beautiful things, especially when they're used for God's house.
The trouble is, none of those people, and they include us at least some of the time, knew their Bible. They didn't know that Jesus is quoting Moses. That while he was telling them to leave Mary alone, as he accepted her gift, he was also reminding them of God's commandment regarding the poor. Just before they were to enter the promised land, Moses gave instructions to the people on behalf of the Lord. Every seventh year, he said, you are to grant a remission of debts. You're to wipe the slate clean with anyone in your community who owes you money. And then he says this (Deuteronomy, 15: 7-11).
"If there is among you anyone in need, a member of your community in any of your towns within the land that the Lord your God is giving you, do not be hard-hearted or tight-fisted toward your needy neighbor. You should rather open your hand, willingly lending enough to meet the need, whatever it may be. Be careful that you do not entertain a mean thought, thinking "The seventh year, the year of remission, is near," and therefore view your needy neighbor with hostility and give nothing; your neighbor might cry to the Lord against you, and you would incur guilt. Give liberally and be ungrudging when you do so, for on this account the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in all that you undertake. Since there will never case to be some in need on the earth, I therefore command you, "Open your hand to the poor and needy neighbor in your land."
So the words of Jesus to Judas are not as simple as they seem. He wasn't taking sides on some eternal debate on giving to the poor vs. expensive gifts. Yes, he was gratefully accepting Mary's costly and extravagant gift of love. He was acknowledging her silent prophesy -- that he would soon die, that it was the time for his anointing. He affirmed that Mary had made the right choice; But he was also reminding them, and us, that as long as there are people in need on the earth, as long as the poor are with us, God calls us to be open-hearted and open-handed. It's a double commandment: to love God through extravagant gifts of beauty and love: in worship, and in the way we love and care for one another. But to also obey God's commandment to be generous and open-hearted with all who are in need, all of the time. We can do both.
And both are urgent. They are urgent because this is the time we have been given: our time, on this earth. This is the time we've been given to love God with all our heart and mind and strength; and also to love our neighbor. Mary understood the urgency of the hour. She had just known the loss of her brother and although he was back, she knew it was only a reprieve. So she didn't hold back.
Phil Ochs was a songwriter who wrote folk and protest ballads in the 60s and 70s. He died at a young age, by suicide. I believe he was an atheist. But he wrote what I think is a faithful song on the urgency of loving and singing and giving during our time on this earth. In matters of love, and beauty and justice. He begins:
There's no place in this world where I'll belong when I'm gone
And I won't know the right from the wrong when I'm gone
And you won't find me singin' on this song when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here . . . . .
In the song he lists the things that he guesses he'll have to do while he's here: the pleasures of love, breathing the bracing air, seeing the golden of the sun and dancing with delight; but also doing his share, adding his name to the fight, singing louder than the guns.
We believe that when we're gone, we'll be united with God in Christ: but while we're here, Christ calls us to love and to give, to God and to neighbor. Generously. Extravagantly. And with no time to waste.
Please join me in prayer:
*McCann, "Burial" in the New Interpreter's Bible.

Medical marijuana is the most popular alternative medicine to be considered these days, and that isn't just pure lucky. Many people have positively benefitted from the medical marijuana uses, and the ailments that they suffer from span over a vast area of problems. From terminal ailments to nerve pain, medical marijuana has been keeping patients both happy and healthy for well over 15 years now.
Medical marijuana can be used by a patient that meets eligibility, but will it work? If so, how long does it take to do so? There are a lot of questions surrounding the effectiveness of marijuana for medical purposes, so I'm going to try and give a few examples of where it would be ideal.
Using Medical Marijuana: The Ailments
The positive medical use of marijuana can cover so many different problems, that it's almost impossible to list them all. I used to have digestive problems, but ever since the implementation of medical marijuana in my life, I've never had an issue with it. If you're a woman and dealing with period cramps, medical marijuana can help! A lack of libido and sex drive is never a good thing, and weed can help improve upon that as well. Those are three major problems being solved using medical marijuana, and we haven't even scratched the surface yet.
If you're an anxious individual, marijuana can help in abundance. Not only that, but people who are cripplingly anxious would find solace through marijuana – they would be able to calm down and take the day at a much slower pace. Some other medical marijuana uses would be:
- The treatment of epilepsy seizure sufferers
- CBD (cannabinoid) lotion is said to treat hives and rashes
- Terminal/cancer patients are given medical marijuana to increase happiness, as well as take care of the pain
- It's a very powerful sleep aid and can assist those with insomnia
- Great for nausea and vomiting
- Medical marijuana is also great for those who are malnourished/going through chemotherapy and don't feel like eating
It isn't just for pain relief, as you can tell – medical marijuana can be used for a lot of different medical problems. Some patients don't want to take traditional medicines, and others are left with medical marijuana as a last resort; in any case, it's beneficial all-around.
How Do I Use Medical Marijuana?
Visit your local doctor and see if you're eligible for medical marijuana, it covers to many different symptoms that you'll probably be a great candidate. If you're a hard-worker and suffer from back pain, that could make you eligible; the last thing your doctor wants is for their patient to go through debilitating back pain. If you're new to the world of medical marijuana, don't feel scared! We're all newcomers at first, even if we become masters at the end of it all. Whether you're out of options, or you just want to try a different treatment route, medical marijuana could be the best thing that's ever happened to you.

This is very, very sad news. The last time I corresponded with him he was in love and anticipating a new life. My sincerest condolences to his family and close friends. I didn't know him well but I found him to be a kindred spirit and a fine writer. He will be greatly missed.

I 'd like to offer my sincere condolences to Philip's family. He was a great researcher and knew what he was talking about.
I too corresponded with him and enjoyed reading his articls.
Rest in peace brother.

Philip & I corresponded every day, several times a day, for 7 months. He was the love of my life & I his. We always planned to meet someday. I will grieve for him the rest of my life. And why not? He was the finest man I ever knew and a man like no other. I love you, Philip, I'll see you soon.
0 #5 2012-02-01 08:42
What I find shocking and sad is how you have all bought in to a sick mans ramblings and seen them as great truthes. There are not many truths in the words of Philip John Jones - an elequent listing of unsual and creative observations - but a complete invention of facts to suit. Hypocracies and lies. It fills me with such sadness to read his words as I knew him very well and know that he was not well.
Jean Bush - I understand very well how you must feel - but please understand that you were seduced by words and fantasies. Philip´s wife was there by his side when he died. He was not a fine man when he corresponded with you. He was not a "man like no other" in the midst of all his repeated and habitual unfaithfulness.
I sincerely hope he rests in peace - his mind was truly troubled in this life.
With kind regards Sisse - his number 3 out of 4 wifes.

Integrated Picking of Pallets, Totes, Boxes, Etc.
Egemin's integrated picking concept combines automated storage, compact picking, and zone picking solutions. Some warehouse and distribution applications are more complex due to the nature of their distribution model. Orders must therefore be picked at various levels: full pallets, totes, boxes, or individual items.
Due to the complexity of the order picking process, integrated picking concepts often have several material flows; with replenishment from various manual or automatic warehouses. This requires a powerful warehouse management system (WMS system) with a dynamic transport and route management system. Integrated picking systems bring the following benefits:
- On-time and accurate deliveries
- Ideal for highly complex concepts
- Handling of cross-docking operation from goods reception to dispatch
- Support of value-added logistics (custom labeling of boxing, preassembly of articles)
Concept Components
Integrated picking applications require an integrated logistics system that allows you to pick any order in the most fitting way. For integrated picking applications we combine systems such as:
- One or several high-capacity AS/RS systems controlled by Egemin's E'car® software for pallets, totes and/or cartons
- Automated sorter and transport systems
- Consolidation buffer (manual or automatic) for replenishment of packing zones or docks
- Ergonomic and efficient picking & packing stations
Applications for Integrated Picking
Integrated order picking is used for applications with complex goods, in which orders are picked at different levels in the following markets:

The Trick to Writing Interesting Dialogue
Creative writing is very tricky; a lot of techniques are needed to make stories exciting. The writer has to use these techniques to keep the reader hooked from beginning to end. One of the many creative writing techniques that writers can use is dialogue. Dialogue is an important part of writing fiction, but it can prove quite challenging. Get it wrong and your otherwise engaging characters could labour under dreary, boring and awkward conversation. The aim of dialogue is to convey emotion between two characters, to show how characters relate to each other and to verbalise what characters may be thinking.
Any writer will tell you that part of writing a good story is being able to recognise when a piece of the story should not be there. So, as much as dialogue has the potential to add some excitement to your story, don't be afraid to delete it if it does not fit. The addition or subtraction of a piece of dialogue will depend on the kind of story that you are writing and the characters involved. Here are three tips to help you write dialogue that actually works.
1) The curse of lengthy dialogue
Do not make your dialogue too long. Even in our day-to-day lives, when one person talks forever, we tend to get bored and even irritated. Unless it is an extremely important part of the story and it cannot be told another way, try to keep your dialogue to at least two or three lines per character. One character talking non-stop will have your readers skipping page after page.
To minimise the length of the dialogue delete words that are unnecessary. The guilty party in this regard is almost always the adverbs. Because writers always want to make sure that their readers get the emotion that they are conveying, they add unnecessary adverbs. Adverbs tend to be redundant and should be removed if they do not serve their intended purpose. Break up the dialogue into snippets with some action in between, or summarise parts of the dialogue to minimise the speech.
2) Don't confuse readers
If your dialogue just has quotations marks flying everywhere and words going back and forth, your reader will get confused. Always make sure that it is clear who is talking. There are multiple ways of doing this, and whichever way you choose, make sure it sticks to the tone and rhythm of the story.
3) Play around with it
The spelling in a dialogue does not have to be hundred per cent correct. A good example of this is in Harry Potter, where the character of Hagrid is often seen saying things like, "Ah, go boil yer heads, both of yeh", or, "Yeah, but I was meanin' anythin' unusual a bit nearer home". This conveys the personality of the character and adds a little humour to the story.
Indirect dialogue can also be used. This is where the dialogue is internal within one character. This can sometimes be more powerful than using direct quotes. In order to not confuse the reader, quotations should not be used when using indirect dialogue, but rather italics should be used.
The only way to master the skill of dialogue writing is to practice. Make a dialogue diary where you have each of the most important characters talking. This will not only help you identify the voice of each character, but also might help you add creative elements to the story.

Settling doubts: territorial organization in 'Hispania: Saints & Warriors'.
September 26, 2014 Hispania
One of the chapters that usually arouses the curiosity of people who know 'Hispania: Saints & Warriors' is the territorial division that they will experience during the game. In order to get closer to a medieval territorial organization, ours is a bit more complex than in other games, but it is no big deal. Let's see:
The map of Hispania is divided during the game on two types of territorial division: the dominion, which would be the representation of the countryside; on the other hand, the site, space physically located on the dominions, but politically and legally independent of them...Read More
3D Sea under a 2D Map
We have already seen that Hispania Saints & Warriors it's going to be a 2D game. However, when we started creating the sea, we find out that we didn't like the 2D sea. A 2D sea is usually created by animated tiles repeated all over the screen.
Therefore, to give a realistic result for the sea, same quality as the other Hispania graphics, the best choice is a 3D sea, which gives depth depending on the area, darkest parts, coral, Mediterranean area and realistic animation according to the whole map.
Hispania faced here with a challenge. Join a 3D map at same level of a 2D map...Read More

The making of Hispania's map: undergrowth.
May 14, 2014 Hispania
The static part of the map is now complete. We have textures, rivers, roads and Roman roads, mountains and forests. Now, we need to add depth and detail to the forests: undergrowth and bushes.
The undergrowth is that shadow we see adding an extra detail to the forest map. Its function is purely decorative, it will serve to enhance the visual appearance of the main game screen, on which the map appears. We have added three kinds of undergrowth: a green one for the Atlantic Forest; another dark brown, to the mainland; and the forth between yellow and light green for the Mediterranean area.

732 years since the birth of Don Juan Manuel
May 4, 2014 Hispania
Today I wanted to write something about one of the main writers of medieval Spanish narrative, Don Juan Manuel (1282-1348), for May 5 is the 732 anniversary of his birth at Castle Escalona in Toledo, in a family of the Spanish aristocracy (the son of a royal prince).
Speaking of Don Juan Manuel, author celebrated by Hispanic literature (especially for his work The Count Lucanor) is especially appropriate now for two reasons: the first is that it never hurts to remind the old classics of literature; the second is related to the functioning of the game Hispania: Saints and Warriors, as discussed...Read More

The making of Hispania's map: forests.
March 28, 2014 Hispania
It's time to put the forests, the most laborious work. The task has been to place the trees one by one, or in small groups. It took a long time to conclude, but the result has been worth it.
Spain is the second most forested country in Europe, with 56% of forest area (283.000km2), after Sweden, with 75%. What's even better: much of the forest is still wild and grows at an amazing rate. In the Middle Ages, in which Hispania is acclimated, the percentage of forest had to be much larger, covering almost the entire peninsula...Read More
Notebook: Clarifying Ideas
Once we have written or even documented the ideas, it's time to delve into them. To do this, one of the recommendations I make is doing it on paper. That is, pencil in hand and begin to develop the ideas.
In addition, this allows us to take advantage of any time and place to move forward with our game. In my opinion, a tablet is not versatile enough. I prefer pencil and paper.
In my case, I use a notebook, among other things, to further develop the following:

All mountain tested by our experienced staff and customer boot fitting all with Alpines industry leading performance guarantee.
Skiing and snowboarding is one of the few active sports where families can stay together, and play together. Six years ago we re-opened Alpine Ski and Sports a RI institution for over 50 years due to our passion for the industry adding many new categories and implemented a unique lease and consignment program so everyone can enjoy the winter. Alpine has been serving RI for over 50 years and new owner, Rick Sceery, who started in the back room of Alpine at the young age of 14 where he worked until graduating at URI focuses on offering the largest selection of skis, snowboards and technical apparel in the region all at the lowest prices for the best value. The entire staff not only enjoys skiing and snowboarding but loves working around their passion and we test every product that goes out the door. Our philosophy is to ensure our customers and friends receive the right products which is why we offer our industry recognized performance guarantee.
There is no reason any customer should not have a comfortable boot, or the proper ski or snowboard based on where they winterslide to maximize their enjoyment on the slopes. We pride ourselves on our custom boot fitting and knowledge base. Our rapid growth has been endorsed by the many customers that return yearly. The reason that we can provide the best value in the region is due to our high volume purchase and seasonal operation (closed in the summer).
A recent feature story in a southern New England magazine summed it up best when they said, "After my visit, it was clear that Alpine is not just a ski shop – but more like a ski / snowboard hub which can help you or your family get the most out of your ski season with lift tickets, bus trips, lessons, vacation rentals, up the minute snow conditions and personal advise from their own love of the sport".
Come visit, have a cup of coffee or hot chocolate, and enjoy the warm, friendly atmosphere. At Alpine, we'll share our life long ski and snowboard expertise since most of our team has been in the industry for many years. We'll ensure the proper equipment with the perfect fit, so your whole family is ready to enjoy the slopes when you arrive at the mountain.
Thank you!Rick Sceery and the entire Alpine family

Accueil du site > Recrutement > Thèses au LPT > Screened T-matrix theory for strongly correlated materials
par- 15 octobre 2014
Toutes les versions de cet article : English , français
PhD advisor : Pina Romaniello
Financial support : not determined
Strongly correlated electron systems exhibit remarkable electronic and magnetic properties, such as metal-insulator transitions, half-metallicity, or unconventional superconductivity, which make them among the most attractive and versatile materials. Typically these materials have incompletely filled d- or f-electron shells with narrow energy bands. In this case a theoretical description requires an accurate treatment of electron correlation. This represents one of the greatest challenges in condensed-matter physics today.
One of the most popular approaches in condensed-matter physics is many-body perturbation theory (MBPT) based on Green's functions [1]. Within the so called GW approximation to electron correlation, MBPT has become, over the last two decades, the tool of choice for the calculations of quasiparticle (QP) band structures and direct and inverse photo emission spectra of many materials improving substantially over the results provided by static mean-field electronic structure methods. However GW suffers from some fundamental shortcomings, and, in particular, it is not expected to describe strong correlation.
In this project we propose to look at an approximation to electron correlation which goes beyond GW : a screened version of the T matrix approximation [2]. We will first explore this approximation on exactly solvable model systems, such as Hubbard chains, and we will then implement it (or an improved version, if needed) in the open source code Abinit (http://www.abinit.org/) for calculations on real materials.
This project is also connected to a collaborative project, which involves many researchers in Europe within the framework of the European Theoretical Spectroscopy Facility (ETSF http://www.etsf.eu ). The goal is to share knowledge for progressing together in the comprehension and description of electron correlation.
It is thus preferable that the candidate for this project has good communication skills, a good level of English, the pleasure for calculations << pencil and paper >>, with a solid background in mathematics, and computer skills.

So long, Wanstead's Andrews Builders' Merchants
What a difference a week makes to Wanstead skies
Horsfall and Wright to leave Wanstead
Exclusive: Trendy gift shop Horsfall and Wright is moving out of Wanstead, Wansteadium understands. It is planning to relocate in bigger premises in a busier High Street, though it is not yet clear where that will be. The move is expected within the month.
The shop, which came to Wanstead High Street three years ago, has been opening less frequently lately as preparations are made for its move.
Last year its minimalist chic earned it a nomination in the Wanstead Society's best shop front competition, when it was commended for a "well thought-out design" and for being a "smart injection into less-favoured end of the High Street".
The news will come as a blow to shoppers as well as other retailers, and comes just a few weeks after it was revealed that delicatessen The Olive Branch had been put up for sale. Hardened Horsfall and Wright fans will still be able to buy online.
UPDATE: Tweet from Mark Bentley: Andrews Builders Merchants to close in Wanstead. Too many people coming in for just a washer, it would seem. Sad though, been there forever.

What to Wear: Work WardrobeMonday, January 27, 2014
I will be starting my first full-time job in two weeks. One of my biggest concerns (half kidding) has been what to wear to work. It can be tricky because as a fairly young adult, I want to look professional and mature, but I don't want to come across as a little girl attempting to look like a grown-up. Also, I've read about how some bloggers made the early mistake of buying work clothes that are too stuffy when in reality, dressing for the workplace can be fun and fashionable! Thankfully, I interned with the company I will be starting full-time with over the summer, so I have a pretty good idea about what is appropriate in that environment.
I pulled together a few key pieces that are essential for the workplace. These items are simple but stylish, and they are great items to start your work wardrobe with. Small touches such as colorful heels or a bright red lipstick are good ways to make your outfit more youthful and fun!
Shop these items: 1. Excursion leather tote bag from JW Hulme (on my wishlist), 2. Velour blazer from Zara, 3. Black minnie pant from Jcrew (you could wear these everyday, I do!), 4. Gramercy mini watch from Kate Spade (simple and elegant), 5. Mira heel from Madewell, 6. Shiseido perfect rouge in "Sublime"/RD142.
Note: Thanks to my little sis for teaching me how to use Photoshop and Illustrator to create the collage above :)

Entertainment/Food Starbucks Movie Theater PF Chang Flammings Steak House Yard house Cheesecake Factory.
I am an artist person, and enjoy beautiful things. This house is furnished modern and asian style. Which should prove enjoyable, relaxing, setting for a vacation.
brian quach purchased this house in 2010
It is a great location about 1 mile to the Palm springs area, and a great quiet safe place to relax for visiting the desert...
A great media room with Bose system to watching a DVD at home for relaxing and sun bathing in total privacy in the patio area.
Clean place. Only issues was water leak in guest bathroom kept waking me up. Outside light did not work. Overall, good experience.
The house is very nice and furnished very well. It needed some TLC in regards to cleaning. Windows were very dusty which made it difficult to open windows because of the amount of dust in the sills . Air condioner worked fine but we would have preferred fresh air as the vents looked like they had never been cleaned. The Blinds were dusty and broken so could not be opened. This was all going to be taken care of in April after we left. It was a very windy and Sandy area hence why the windows were very dirty. We provided plastic glasses for the pool area and measuring cups, spoons, dish cloths and knives and forks. There were 4 knives and forks! Also the can opener was broken so we replaced that. TV package sucks! But the theatre room is very nice and comfortable but you have to buy your own movies. It is a very good location for getting around To all locations because of the proximity to I-10 and also the airport and golf courses near by.
The house is very spacious and it was very clean. There were a lot of flies in the kitchen area, I'm not sure why. The pool also was not clean when we first arrived but then a few guys came later and cleaned it. Overall, great stay here!
First of all, the issues relating to the Jacuzzi and pool were accurate. I immediately notified Brian at which time he attempted to have me handle it myself directly with pool man. After making it very clear that was NOT my responsibility, he handled it and pool man was there the next day. One day lost without Jacuzzi. But, he did address it and it was handled. The other areas of concern were the master bath NOT having hot water. Huge deal for me, especially having a 3 year old, the main bathroom tub very very small. That was addressed, but I was explained its great for summer. Well considering there in December, not ideal. The house is very nice, a media throughout a little outdated. Cable only in living room and media room. Master bedroom only had dvd, but did not work. Media dvd a little outdated, kind of confusing to operate, way to many wires to deal with. But, once operable, very enjoyable. Outside lighting was not working, it limited our evening time, which was huge. My husband even attempted to change light bulb as suggested, but still did not work. Brian did compensate me and was eager to make what he could right. Minor concerns for me as I use rentals at least 2-3 xs a year. No baking pans, or many serving dishes, No trashbags stocked, minor but was much needed for my family. In no way was the stay horrible nor my vacation ruined. Just some things that were inconvenient to say the least. Home is very nice!!
This is a great house for a family gathering. The media room, once we figured everything out, was a fun novelty for a holiday retreat. Though the weather was too cool for the pool or spa, they are a real plus. Great master bedroom and bath as well as a spacious second bedroom and bath. The owner went out of his way to ensure we were happy.
BEWARE!!! Pool and spa heater does NOT work!
We rented this place on a last minute notice for the 2016 Thanksgiving holiday. It was agreed with the owner that we would have full use of the heated spa & only heat the pool on 1 day because the owner said "it's too expensive to heat the pool" (really!). After failing to turn on the equipment heater & noticing a "service system" light on, we resorted to calling the pool guy. He was able to temporarily "fix" it but the heater then turned off & was NEVER able to turn back on. It seems the pool and spa have not been kept up with their routine maintenance. So this was a MAJOR bummer for us!! The reason we rented a house with pool & spa was so that we could enjoy it while on vacation and not just watch it. No one wants to jump in 54 degree water in the fall/winter.
The house was clean but not properly cleaned. We had to sweep the front porch & back yard because it was full of leaves & dirt/dust. Not what you want to arrive to when you are on vacation.
I must say my petite 10 year old broke a dining room chair. Upon checking the rest of the chairs we found them to be flimsy & decided not to use them the rest of the time. We were charged $100 for the broken chair, fair enough, but when I text the owner about being entitled to some money back for the broken/malfunctioning pool & spa heater, he never responded to my text.
So why rent a house with pool and spa in the winter/fall if you can't enjoy them? Doesn't make sense, right?

By Rabbie Burns
By the way, if YOU know a Scottish Poem that you would like to be included on this site, or indeed if you have written one, why not submit your contribution HERE, so people from around the world can enjoy it.
It is, of course, brought to the table to the sound of the pipes.
So for those who are going to try the
Haggis Recipe
or who are going to order haggis from a restaurant or store, I just HAD to include it here. However, at popular request I've added a recipe for a Pretend Haggis. If you can't face the 'real' thing, try this easy-to-make pretend haggis recipe.
If most of Burns work confuses you - then there is a Book available with translations not only of this poem but many of his works. It is: The Best of Robert Burns: In English
Rabbie Burns
As mentioned elsewhere, Rabbie Burns did not come from the Kingdom of Fife, but he is still a beloved Scot, and his work is recited and sung throughout Fife, as it is elsewhere in Scotland. This Poem, in particular, Address to a Haggis is known throughout the world.
He was born in Ayr on the west coast of Scotland, and there is statue of him in St George's Square in Glasgow.
Address to a Haggis
Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face
Great chieftain o' the puddin-race!
Aboon them a' ye tak your place
Painch, tripe, or thairm:
Weel are ye wordy of a grace
As lang's my arm.
The groaning trencher there ye fill
Your hudies like a distant hill
Your pin wad help to mend a mill
In time o' need
While thro' your pores the dews distil
Like amber bead.
His knife see rustic Labour dight,
An' cut ye up wi' ready slight
Trenching your gushing entrails bright
Like onie ditch;
And then, O what a glorious sight,
Warm-reeking, rich!
Then horn for horn, they stretch an' strive:
Deil tak the hindmost, on they drive,
Till a' their weel-swall'd kytes belyve
Are bent like drums;
Then auld Guidman, maist like to rive,
'Bethankit!' hums.
Is there that owre his French ragout,
Or olio that wad staw a sow,
Or fricassee wad mak her spew
Wi perfect scunner,
Looks down wi' sneering, scornfu' view
On sic a dinner?
Poor devil! see him owre his trash,
As fecl;ess as a wither'd rash,
His spindle shank a guid whip-lash
His nieve a nit;
Tho' bluidy flood or field to dash,
O how unfit.
But mark the Rustic, haggis-fed,
The trembling earth resounds his tread,
Clap in his walie nieve a blade,
He'll make it whistle;
An' legs, an' arms, an' heads will sned
Like taps o' thrissle.
Ye pow'rs, wha mak mankind your care,
And dish them out their bill o' fare,
Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware,
That jaups in luggies;
But if ye wish her gratfu' prayer,
Gie her a Haggis!
So, feel free to try and make this haggis if you dare, but why not just go and buy one. May I remind you if you live in Canada or North America, you can order American-produced Award-winning haggis or New Vegetarian Haggis direct from the USA.
I hope you enjoyed the Poem, Address to a Haggis.
