Maths, Girls and the Gender Gap
What is it about maths that tends to attract more of the male gender to it than females?

Hello farmOS followers! farmOS version 1.0-beta11 has just been released. The full release notes are available here: http://farmos.org/news/2016/04/13/farmos-beta-11-released
I recorded a YouTube video outlining some of the new features in this release: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnon7gHR-cY
Area Calculation
Now you can see the calculated area of fields in acres/hectares (for larger areas) or square feet/meters (for smaller areas). A new Farm Quantity module is included for setting your farm's default system of measurement to either Metric or US/Imperial.
Area Generator
Another new module included with farmOS now is the Area Generator - which is a new tool for generating sub-areas within a parent area in bulk. The main use-case for this is to generate a bunch of parralel beds within a larger field. This is useful for vegetable growers who organize their operations into beds. Previously, drawing each bed in the map would be extremely time consuming (and imperfect). Now, just select the parent area, enter how many beds you want, and what orientation they should run in, and bam! Beds will be automatically generated to fill the field.
It was fun to build all the math functions necessary for this feature - but it's still just a first step. I envision this area generator becoming a pluggable interface, with different ways of generating areas. The first way is just simply for generating long rectangles. If you have ideas for new plugins, let me know!
The area generator tool has a "Preview" button so you can see what the areas will look like before you generate them. Make sure you use this, because deleting the areas afterwards must be done one at a time. I created a new feature request that will allow areas to be deleted in bulk as well (https://www.drupal.org/node/2705549), but for now just make sure you preview first. ;-)
Monthly Calls
We host a monthly farmOS call via Google Hangouts for anyone interested in learning more or getting involved. The next call will be May 11th, 2016 at 1pm EST / 5pm UTC.
You can find the 2016 schedule, and a link to the call at http://farmos.org/monthly-call
What's next?
Here is the plan for Beta 12: https://www.drupal.org/node/2705517
farmOS is developed collaboratively. If you have ideas, requests, bug reports, or questions, open a new issue in the queue on drupal.org: http://www.drupal.org/project/issues/farm
Until next time...
Thanks for reading!

Conor meets Mammy
Tuesday, 2 January 2018
CONNOR Quinn had one of the most memorable days in his young life when he met Brendan O'Carroll at Belfast's SSE Arena.
The 26-year-old Meadow lad got to meet his idol just before Christmas. He told the Democrat: The dream came true.
For quite a few years Connor's big ambition was to meet Brendan Carroll who plays Agnes Brown, star of the massively acclaimed television series Mrs Brown's Boys.
Connor, one of a family of six with brothers Gary, John and Darren plus sisters Helen and Donna, knows virtually every line of the television series and regularly attends his annual shows in Belfast. He also has all his DVD's and lots of his merchandise.
Connor tried many different angles and the family spoke to various influential people to try to get Brendan O'Carroll to meet the Newry lad, but they were all unsuccessful until this year.
Then, in August, Connor's brother Darren heard that Fiona O Carroll, Brendan's daughter, who plays Maria Brown in the series, was doing a charity walk from Cork to Belfast and he, along with his wee brother, arranged to meet her at the border between Dundalk and Newry.
The day was a mighty success. Dressed in his Mrs Brown costume, Connor met Fiona and she was absolutely enchanted by the Newry lad. Connor, a brilliant character and a star in The Gateway Club's productions and plays, is a natural comedian and he had the O'Carroll party in stitches. Fiona said she never laughed so much in her life. And she said she would arrange for Connor to meet the cast of Mrs Brown and of course Brendan O'Carroll.
And indeed that same night she rang up Connor's older brother Darren and said it was all set up and that there would be three meet-and-greet tickets at the box office of the SSE Arena when they came to see the stage showing of Mrs Brown's Boys.
Fiona was as good as her word. In December Connor, along with his brother Darren and nephew Dean Quinn, got to meet the cast an hour and a half before the show.
Connor said the first one of Mrs Brown's team he met at the Odyssey was Eilish O'Carroll, Brendan's sister, who plays Winnie McGoogan. And he greeted her in typical Connor style saying: Winnie you're a f***king jinx!
He also got to see the rest of the cast including Danny O Carroll (Brendan's son), who plays Buster Brady, Brendan's wife Jennifer Gibney, who plays Cathy Brown, Rory Cowan who plays Rory Brown, Conor Malony who plays Father Quinn, Gary Hollywood who plays Dino Doyle, Martin Delany who plays Trevor Brown, Amanda Woods who plays Betty Brown, Paddy Houlihan who plays Dermot Brown, Pat Shields who plays Mark Brown, Dermot O'Neill who plays Grandad Brown and Derek Reddin who plays Dr Flynn.
The whole cast were impressed with Connor and indeed Danny O'Carroll (Buster) was so taken by the Newry lad, he couldn't believe he wasn't an actor.
But obviously the highlight of the day was meeting the person who Connor calls, The Main Man, Brendan O'Carroll. And Connor wasn't a bit shy when he came face-to-face with the originator and star of Mrs Brown's Boys.
As Brendan walked toward him Connor began singing the theme song to the Mrs Brown series: Say hello to the queen of Dublin Town. As the best mum of all she wears the crown. Mother hen watching all her chicks. Sassy old lady full of tricks. It's a safe bet she will not let life get her down. She's Mrs Brown!
When shaking hands with him, Brendan said to Connor: I believe you're a big fan. His reply was. No I'm not. I m your BIGGEST fan. Mrs Brown quipped back: Fecking idiot.
Speaking to the Democrat, Connor, who lives in Killeavy Road with his mother Helen and father Niall, later said: I dressed up for the show. I always wanted to meet him. It made my Christmas and I can t wait for next year when I hope to meet him again.
Father Niall said: It was an exciting day for Connor. He really enjoyed it. It was a great experience for him and we re absolutely delighted.
And no doubt listeners on Connor's radio show, called Connor Quinn's Showline, on Banbridge Community Radio (Tuesday s from 1-2pm) will hear That's Nice, quite a few times over the next few weeks.

Ferdinand Hodler
The Night (Die Nacht)
oil on canvas
116.5 × 299 cm
Museum of Fine Arts Berne, Switzerland
Ferdinand Hodler (1853-1918) was one of the leading Swiss Symbolist painters, along with Arnold Bocklin, of the 19th century. He used stylized, awkwardly gesturing figures in conjunction with simplified color, overcoming realistic and impressionist conventions, and infused his works with an intellectual, symbolic content. He remained in relative obscurity until the age of 50, when he finally received an award for his most famous painting: The Night (1891). From 1910 onwards he received honours and commissions both at home and internationally. In the German-speaking countries, he is considered one of the founders of Modern Art.
He was born in Berne, the eldest of six children. His father made a meager living as a carpenter; his mother was from a peasant family. His childhood was characterized by poverty, sickness, and death. His father died of tuberculosis soon after Hodler's birth and his mother too died of tuberculosis when he was 13. Nine of her children likewise died of tuberculosis early. Eventually the disease killed all of his remaining siblings, instilling in him a powerful consciousness of mortality.
His first training as an artist was in the workshop of his stepfather, and he did not receive a traditional academic training. Instead he was apprenticed to a local decorative painter. In search of better training, he went to Geneva in 1871, where he painted signs while learning French. He was initially influenced by the realism of Gustave Courbet and Camille Corot. He was greatly impressed by the paintings of Hans Holbein the Younger, and he studied the theories of Albrecht Durer, Leonardo da Vinci, and Vitruvius in his search for answers to the artistic analysis of nature. His artistic formation formally ended in 1878, when he went to Madrid to study the work of Peter Paul Rubens and Diego Velazquez at the Prado Museum.
By 1886 he begun to paint in a sharply delineated, harsh style touched with rustic awkwardness and simplicity. From 1891 onwards, he turned to Symbolism - developing an innovative approach which he called "Parallelism". He is also seen as a harbinger of Expressionism. He painted portraits, historical and mythological paintings, as well as landscapes.

Clear Your Sinuses with Your Tongue and Your Thumb in 20 Seconds Plus 4 Home Remedies For Sinus Infection
A sinus infection is the most annoying and uncomfortable feeling. Unfortunately, sinus infections are very common; it affects around 37 million Americans a year. Sinus infections are an inflammation of the lining in the sinus cavities. Sinusitis can be caused by colds, flu, bacteria or allergies. Fortunately, you don't have to over-medicate yourself with conventional drugs, there are many natural and effective remedies for a sinus infection.
The Top 4 DIY Home Remedies for Sinus Infection
1. Apple Cider Vinegar – Apple cider vinegar is a hailed sinus infection treatment. Being just one of many apple cider vinegar uses, countless individuals attest to the effectiveness of apple cider vinegar against a multitude of health conditions, including sinus infection. One of the most powerful ways to use ACV is to mix 8oz of warm water with 2 tbsp of ACV and 1 tbsp of honey. The sinus infection could vanish within just a few days. Another option when taking apple cider vinegar is to simply take 1 tablespoon 3 times daily, whether diluted to ingest throughout the day or made to ingest quickly. Lastly, you can also try steaming with apple cider vinegar; mix ~1/2 cup of ACV with 1/2 of water, heat it on the stove, and inhale the steam with mouth and eyes closed. I recommend using organic ACV over non-organic.
2. Turmeric – Thanks to a powerful compound found in turmeric known as curcumin, turmeric possesses powerful health benefits. Among the health benefits of turmeric is the spice's ability to treat sinus infection. Curcumin helps to heal the sinus cavity and clear the airways. Since sinus infections are caused by nasal inflammation, and turmeric possesses anti-inflammatory properties, the spice can be seen as one of the existing natural cures for sinus infection.

SUNNYVALE, Calif. — Do you Yahoo?
Well, you might have second thoughts about that now that a few whistle-blowers say the company secretly scanned every single incoming email to its customers for U.S. intelligence!
A couple of former employees say Yahoo, Inc. complied with orders from the NSA or the FBI last year to develop a scanning software to spy on customers' incoming messages.
No word yet on what the Feds were looking for, but this news can't sit too well with Yahoo users.
Even famed whistle-blower Edward Snowden sent out a tweet about the internet giant. He warned, "Use @yahoo? They secretly scanned everything you ever wrote, far beyond what law requires. Close your account today."
Add to all this the recent revelation from the company that Yahoo suffered a massive data breach of 500 million accounts in 2014!
So, users beware next time you get the urge to yodel!

Buyer Representation Services are* 100% FREE to the Buyer!
(*Only if the property is listed by a Realtor and they advertise to pay the same commission as the buyer's representative is charging. FSBO Properties may not fall in this category)
In Texas, both the buyers and sellers Realtor commissions are paid by the seller from the proceeds of the sale during closing. As such, the buyer does not pay for these services.
The primary risk in a real estate transaction is on that of the buyer. Texas laws make it easier to ensure that buyers are properly represented by a real estate professional during these transactions. Today's real estate laws and contracts can be quite confusing and when not handled correctly can result in costly lawsuits. You would not go to court without attorney representation, so why would you sign a contract that maybe hundreds of thousands of dollars without professional representation… especially when it is free!
Understanding How Real Estate Commissions Work
The Realtor commissions are based on a percentage of sales price and negotiated on the Seller's side, between the sellers of the property and the listing agent. The entire commission belongs to the listing broker!
From there, the listing broker will advertise what % commission they are willing to share with a broker representing a buyer. If a buyer does not have the representation of a Realtor, the full commission is still due on the sale of the home, based on a prior agreement between the seller and the listing broker.
A buyer not under Realtor representation cannot receive any reduction on the sales price from the seller based on the lack of buyer representative commission, as the full commission is still due by the seller to the listing broker already defined in the listing agreement.
Example: (**NOTE - in Texas there is no standard pre-defined commission or percentage, as such the percentages used below are purely for example only**)
Seller Ann agrees to list her home with Broker Bob for $200,000 at 6% commission defined in their listing agreement. Broker Bob then lists the property in the local MLS system where they advertise they will share 3% of that commission with a Broker representing a buyer.
Buyer1: is represented by Broker Charlie and submits a full price offer on the house. At closing, Seller Ann would have to pay 6% commission and would be left with $188,000 before closing costs.
Buyer2: is not represented by a Realtor and submits an offer at $194,000 (3% lower) mistakenly thinking the seller would not have to pay the buyer rep commission. If the offer is accepted, at closing, Seller Ann would still have to pay the full agreed upon 6% commission to her listing broker and would be left with $182,360 before closing costs.

Take A Look At New Sylvaneth Models For Age Of Sigmar [Updated]
June 28, 2016 by brennon
Age of Sigmar is gaining some traction now it seems and with that some more buzz about upcoming models. the Sylvaneth seem to be on everyone's mind right now and a few little (very little) leaks came out showing off their new models.
This piece of artwork from Warhammer Fest showed off Alarielle atop some strange beast. Well, from the leaks of the product boxes we've got a better look at her mount which seems to be a big Stag Beetle of some kind. You can see for yourself HERE.
New Images Have Arrived - Check Them Out HERE
Here you get to see the different options open to you with the Spite Revenants and the Kurnoth Hunters who also get melee weapons as well as the ranged ones. There's also a new Branchwych and Alarielle is looking great!
As well as Alarielle we have the Tree Revenants who are this warped mix of Dryad and Aelf combined together as well as the Kurnoth Hunters (my favourites - I love treemen/kin) and then finally the bestial Drycha Hamadreth.
They seem to have gone down the root of the Aelfs being more at one with their forests this time around which I think is very awesome indeed. I can't wait to see what people do when painting these models up.
Images from War of Sigmar
What do you think of what's around the corner?

WhatsApp is one of the best messaging clients around, and it just got better. To provide you with a richer communication experience, WhatsApp is now accessible both on your phone and your computer. WhatsApp Web is a computer based extension of the WhatsApp account on your phone.
The messages you send and receive are fully synced between your phone and your computer, and you can see all messages on both devices. Any action you take on the phone will apply to WhatsApp Web and vice versa. At this time, WhatsApp Web is available only for Android, iPhone 8.1+, Windows Phone 8.0 and 8.1, Nokia S60, Nokia S40 EVO, BlackBerry and BlackBerry 10 smartphones.
WhatsApp Web is not another WhatsApp account. When you use WhatsApp on your computer and your phone, you are simply accessing the same account on these two devices.
Whatsapp web Latest Version Configuration Using QR code:
When you created a WhatsApp account, you required to provide your phone number and verify it. Now that WhatsApp is allowing users to access chats via their computer browsers, it needs to identify and authenticate them.
It is usually done via username and password but WhatsApp never generated such info. So the app is now using a neat way. Your WhatsApp app (already verified) on your smartphone is the key. Here is what you need to do:
- Go to whatsapp.comon your computer browser. Note: WhatsApp Web presently supports only Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Opera browsers.
- On the main screen, you will see a QR Code. This QR Code is dynamic in nature and will change every few seconds.
- Open WhatsApp on your Mobile. Note: WhatsApp Web is available only for Android, iPhone 8.1+, Windows Phone 8.0 and 8.1, Nokia S60, Nokia S40
- Tap the "More Options" button in the top right corner and click on "WhatsApp Web" (If you are using IOS: Go to setting and tap the WhatsApp Web/Desktop)
- Scan the WhatsApp QR Code on your browser screen to complete the authentication process.
7. Now you will be able to view your chats on your computer as well. Note that you will need a stable internet connection on both your phone and computer for WhatsApp Web to work.
You can easy log out from WhatsApp Web easily from your WhatsApp on your phone.
This is all about the way to get WhatsApp Web for PC or laptop in Windows 8, Windows 10 and Windows 8.1/7.

Japan Railway & Transport Review No. 11 (pp.58–59)
Another Perspective
In many developed countries, people nowadays view trains as a backward form of transportation. Air and roads save time and offer convenience; they also play a role in social development, help expand markets and speed economic development. Consequently, many railways face the reality of reduced freight and economic losses. However, social development won't stop just because railways are losing money, making it imperative that they explore ways to keep up with society.

A few weeks ago we had a huge mega sale in my facebook group right before I came down with Pneumonia. So then, of course, I got behind on the busiest week the group has ever had. Which was followed by attempting to catch up.
Would you look at that pile? Today my task is printing shipping labels and taping them on so they can go out tomorrow. There are 59 boxes/envelopes in that pile.
Facebook groups are run totally differently than any time of shop that I have ever managed.
In case you ever wondered why I basically disappeared from blogland the day Ozark fabric (facebook group) opened, I thought I would quickly run through the process:
My group currently has over 1700 members. They put in requests for different types of fabric, patterns or notions. Over half of the members are not from the states. The reason the group works so well for everyone is that I hold boxes for all members until they are full. Some members take months to fill their boxes while others fill one per week. Large flat boxes hold approx 40 yards of fabric but are much less expensive on International buyers to use for shipping than shipping an order at a time. This alone is the basic reason the group is highly successful. (too successful, I have to keep putting the breaks on as I dont want it to grow too big for my britches).
I have 4 admin helpers. These are volunteers that understand I cannot do this alone. In exchange for their help I give them a discount on their purchases. Here is a basic rundown of a week:
I list lines of fabric/notions on Monday-Wednesday... which includes photos, price, qty available.
The buyers start shopping it. While they are shopping an admin is working behind the scenes setting up a spreadsheet.
On Thursday we close the open albums and stop the shopping. While one admin is recording purchases, another admin is keeping the group busy by posting Thursday's Tips and Tutorials. After the recording admin is done, it moves to the checking admin..who's job is to just double check the work. Then it moves a couple of places...one admin takes the spreadsheet file and turns it into a pdf for me to print, while a different admin takes the file and spends Friday invoicing all the buyers for their purchases.
On Friday, I list new fabric, notions or patterns for purchase all over again...only this time it is a prebuy that someone has spoken a wish for. The process starts all over again, ending Monday when the new process starts.
Once I have the pdf in hand, I start the cutting process. I cut an entire bolt at a time, slipping orders into the appropriate boxes. Of course, I have to cut prebuys as they show up and I am always listing new fabric, etc, so I am ALWAYS busy.
Shipping I only do after each session, so basically twice a week. Normal is about 20 ish boxes get full and ready to go out each session but 40 is not unheard of.
There is one more dynamic that makes the facebook group totally different than any retail experience I have had...and that is messaging and the fact I can never 'close the doors'. I get messages 24 hours a day 7 days a week. If I am using my mobile device...there is no hiding. I have tried to combat the fact that if I allow it my time can be yanked totally away from me by giving them other options for messaging me. But with each new member (average of 10 a day) then we have to train them to the process all over again...including "DONT MESSAGE THE HILLBILLY".
There is so much more to the process than described above, such as the admins trying to get members to agree to the rules, box size situations, getting their info for invoicing, etc. It keeps all of us very busy!! While I am quite busy trying to design quilts, do ahhhhs, sew, teach school to two boys, deal with a sick hubby, run a website AND a facebook group, all the admins have busy lives and I am so thankful that they are willing to help me.
So now, when I am silent for long periods of time...you know why. I TRY to scale back Ozark fabric, but then there is Jerry. He missed 5 days at the end of last month and 2 so far (and counting) of this month so far. You know what this means...I have to step up my game plan, sell more fabric, to cover his lack of pay. This is why we are praying for a life change for Jerry. The state is good to him as he misses a LOT of work, but I wish he could just come home for good. I wish there was some way we didnt have to rely on his working. Right now he needs the insurance though, so we plug along.
I guess I had better start my days work! First up, breakfast for a very handsome young man.

Today people all over the world seek inspiration as never before, in their personal lives but especially when it comes to building their careers. Rare is the person who does not want to express their individuality and offer something innovative in their field; in fact, many dream of being the next "big thing", breaking barriers and charting a new course to offer groundbreaking services that will have the whole world talking.
It's all about success: achieving it, basking in it, spreading it.
Hugo Boss is a name and a brand that embodies success. And with this success comes a sense of empowerment and inspiration that goes beyond looking good. It encapsulates the qualities that lead to personal and professional achievement: daring to be different, having passion for what you do, striving for excellence, channelling your confidence to overcome obstacles and continually become better.
To offer a visual illustration of these qualities, Hugo Boss Egypt invited seven of Egypt's most successful professionals to spend a day at their store. Each entrepreneur chose an outfit that fit their personality and posed for a photoshoot to give a snapshot of their lives and insights into the secrets of their success. Each one told the story behind their rise and what advice they would give to young people still at the start of their journeys.
Portraying some of Egypt's most inspiring and successful men, leaders who have achieved many of their goals and dreams early in life, Hugo Boss wanted to showcase excellence. From entrepreneurs to managers who have helped to establish a strong presence for their companies, the participants were carefully selected because of the way that they embody characteristics that complement the Hugo Boss brand and values.
Each successful leader agreed that developing young talent was among the key motivating factors in their professional lives. Each one believes in the power of strong teams to grow a company or business. They were emphatic in their encouragement of early-stage professionals, stressing that anyone can get to the place they are aiming for, if they truly believe in what they are doing and work towards it with passion and perseverance, using a practical approach and learning from the challenges they encounter.
This is the spirit that Hugo Boss is looking to spread. Just as the brand has been dedicated to making the world's finest menswear since the early 1900s, so it wants to showcase excellence and inspire young professionals to strive for it in their careers. Most of all, it wants to emphasize that success does not come in a "one size fits all" template. The success stories of these leaders show that being innovative and expanding your market means adopting the risky, exhilarating approach of deciding what you as an individual have to offer, giving it everything you have during all the ups and downs – and enjoying the ride.
Ahmed El Ganzoury: The Maestro
Life is an orchestra and you're the maestro.
"Every time you close one door, I promise you, a million ones open. Just keep trying and keep believing that you can do it. You will."
The name Ahmed El Ganzoury is synonymous with the best parties that Egypt has ever seen.
As the CEO and founder of byGanz Extraordinaire, Egypt's leading events and PR company, he has set the bar for luxurious parties that are a long way out of the ordinary. Ganzoury started his career early, motivated by his love for parties and all that is entertainment. He started by hosting private parties at his house, which gradually expanded and got bigger and bigger until he reached the status of party mogul that he has today.
What sets him apart is his strong eye for detail and his constant exposure to the international scene, enabling him to bring Egypt all the newest trends in the business. This has granted him success not in Egypt alone but also overseas, having hosted parties in London, Ibiza and Mykonos. He is also one of the managing partners of 'Fun Factory', which has brought world class shows for children and the family, such as Dora, The Sound of Music and Thriller, to Egypt.
Ganzoury believes in operating with passion and persistence to get to where you want to end up. This is what has enabled him to make such a strong name for himself in the entertainment industry, despite all of the difficulties he has faced when it comes to organizing big parties in Egypt.
Bassem El-Hady: The Storyteller
Never be afraid to share your story. Every story is worth sharing.
"Wherever you are you should focus on developing yourself and those around you. That's how you'll develop and help Egypt rise."
Bassem El-Hady is a wholehearted believer in the power of educating people through stories, which is why he founded both TEDx Cairo and Kijami, Egypt's leading digital media agency.
Having been a TED enthusiast for four years and following the establishment of TEDx, El-Hady started TEDx Cairo with two of his friends in 2010 when they were in their last year of college. The event was a huge success and was also the start of the trio's journey together into the world of entrepreneurship.
In 2011, they decided to take their success to the next level and started Kijami, having identified the power and rise of digital media in Egypt. With their educational backgrounds being in computer engineering, El-Hady and his partners recognized the need for a dedicated, professional platform that would take creative digital marketing to the next level.
Kijami started with three people working in two departments. Now, the agency has 120 employees and 14 departments and has expanded outside of Egypt to Saudi Arabia and the UAE. El-Hady's philosophy is that the rise of a company doesn't only come from its founder or CEO, but mostly from the team. For this reason, he puts a lot of effort into developing the middle management; he cares about the career paths, the personal and professional development of his team members. And that's what truly motivates him in life: it's all about educating to create a story and then being able to tell it.
Sameh Kamal: The Believer
Always face life with a laugh and work towards what you truly believe in.
"Yes, I was afraid. But my fear was of becoming an average employee."
Sameh Kamal is the founder of CELIA Professional, an Egyptian company that specializes in cosmetic products. He started his career early, when he was still in college. On a trip to China he decided to buy cosmetics, which he then started selling and distributing in Egypt and Lebanon. Before he knew it, he had started developing his own products and later started his own company in 2012 to expand his reach and product scope.
He does this while maintaining a day job as Senior Sales Manager at Capital Group. In his eyes, working for such an established company and being part of a successful environment really inspires and motivates him, pushing him forward on his entrepreneurial path. Now, Kamal is starting two new brands: one producing quality Egyptian cotton apparel and the other producing cotton sheets and towels. He believes that every day brings different possibilities that one has to take advantage of; that's why he aims to take full advantage of both work and leisure time.
Hassan Morshedy: The Storm
Work with passion, think with practicality.
"You fail, you start to develop your own tactics. The key is not to repeat the same mistake twice. You will always need dedication, knowledge and a good supportive team."It would be impossible not to recognize the name Morshedy when it comes to real estate. Hassan Morshedy, real estate tycoon and CEO of Memaar Al Morshedy, has been leading the 35-year-old company for the past ten years. Under his direction, the company has seen a growth of close to 300%. This has come as a result of Morshedy's vision and philosophy of offering high value for money, which he does through providing luxurious middle-income housing. When he took over the company, he saw a gap when it came to offering this type of housing, so he decided to focus on bringing international, high-end designs into this part of the sector.
Through his collaboration with international design giants, like Philippe Starck and Marcel Wanders, he has been able to start bringing to Egypt key components of the lifestyle that he encountered during his time in Los Angeles, where he owned and operated a luxury furniture and interior design company.
Morshedy is trying to change the mentality of the Egyptian market from perceiving an apartment or a house as just a space to live to perceiving it as a living-space. He has been able to spread this message through his company's strong marketing campaigns that have set them even further apart from their competition. Now Memaar Al Morshedy, which has positively impacted over 60,000 residents in Egypt, is expanding beyond Egypt to include projects in Greece.
Hussein Nassar: The Coursing River
Nobody can stop a river from flowing. Go with the flow on your own path.
"There are certain things – skills – that you have that no one can take away from you. Never shy away from teaching people all they need."
Hussein Nassar is the man behind the design of one of Cairo's favorite go-to spots in town: Sequoia. In fact, this was the first project that he undertook as his own boss, a mere three months after graduating from college. Since then, he has taken up small and big projects, residential and commercial, which have led him to where he is today: founder of Hussein Nassar Designs, one of the leading interior design and contracting companies in Egypt. He is the creative mind behind the designs of some of Cairo's favorite locales, such as Gaby's and Baltazar. He has also expanded his scope to include projects in Greece.
When Nassar first started his company, he was focused on doing what the market demanded and what the clients wanted of him. He believes that in order to set your own rules, you need to first follow the rules set by others, be great at implementing them and then you get to the stage where you can break them. This is what has led him to succeed, along with his great eye for luxury design.
Hussein Heiba: The People Person
Some people can drag you down, but others will push you forward. You will push yourself forward as well. Work on that.
"Realizing an idea is one step and continuing with the idea is another step – you encounter a lot of obstacles and a lot of people will tell you to let go. It's not easy; there are a lot of ideas out there."
Hussein Heiba's dream is to see Egypt's real estate developments transform into spectacular structures. As the managing partner of OWH, a real estate consultancy and development company, he is working on realizing this dream bit by bit. Part of the company's services include refurbishment projects, turning houses and apartments into high-end, "magazine-esque" spaces.
Heiba sees his strength as being not only in his study of construction engineering, but primarily in his study of political science, which gave him the skill of being able to understand different people from different walks of life. This has led him to being able to adapt to their mindsets and think from their points of view. This hasn't only helped him grow his company at the local level, but also to expand it internationally. OWH's development branch is now open in London and the consultancy branch is present in eight other companies.
Furthermore, Heiba's main motive in life is to benefit and care for the people around him: his family, his team and his clients. Seeing his team succeed and grow, feeling fulfilled personally and professionally, is a major driving force for him, as is the case when he sees one of his clients happy with his investment or his newly refurbished home.
Abdel Karim Fathy: The Chess Player
Life is a balance between work and pleasure. Work hard to soar and merit the euphoria of being able to recharge your soul.
"You're talking about building generations of leaders for the future. The feeling of contributing to these people's future and seeing them grow is my definition of success."
Abdel Karim Fathy is the man with wings. Fathy started his career at BAT before moving on to be the on-premises manager of Red Bull, which at that point was just starting up in Egypt. He worked at Red Bull for nine years, five of which he spent serving the company as General Manager, helping to establish and solidify its presence in Egypt. Today Red Bull's image is not purely that of a company manufacturing energy drinks, but also as a patron of entertainment and culture. Fathy's vision and experience was one of the main catalysts behind Red Bull's growth in Egypt.
Throughout his time there, he always believed in the importance of developing the young talent working at Red Bull, which is one of his main philosophies in life and crucial to his definition of success. And he has set this as one of his missions in life. According to his perspective, nobody can stay on top forever, but one can live on forever through other people. So it is through your teachings, love and respect that you can impact others and that's how you know you've reached great success. Now Fathy has decided to take on a new challenge and has taken up the position of General Manager at Lead, one of the Middle East's leading marketing solutions companies, where he hopes to add to the success of the company and work on further developing its team.

Traffic jam, difficult mobility and major lack in aids, as four main bridges have lately been bombarded. Only the old iron bridge which was first bridge to be built in Mosul during the 40s of the last century, still standing. It is the last remained facility that links the west bank to the eastern part of the city, where the battles to central Mosul have swept out a large territory from the grip of what so called the Islamic state. Three main hospitals have been totally disabled due to the shortage of medical support, electricity and gaz needed for heating. It is also reported, that the prices of nutrition items inflated. In Mosul, where it is not been easy to see a truck, without targeting it by the air force.
There is also a remaining concern , whether the offensive troops got to reach Mosul from the south west Mosul, how the locals would flee to the liberated eastern part!
In Mosul, the biggest majority inhabiting is in the west part of the city, where the everyday life hasn't been significantly changed yet. Life in central Mosul tends to be as it is, still. Markets are crowded with those who rushed to buy the food and dry fruits, for storing it, as the battle is getting closer, day by day.
The city which is inhabited by 1.5 million, makes the progress of battle slower as a bid of avoiding causalities from civilians. Although, the high concern, but the UN warns from likely disaster.
The old town in Mosul, where door to door and house to house in the alleyways that seem to be more fragile than ever, to resist the explosions and the shells, in case the battle creeps towards the heart of Mosul, it seems to be the biggest challenge for the security forces to pick out ISIS fighters hidden among the civilians.
ISIS uses the dense population as human shields . As they do in the ongoing battles eastern Mosul. ISIS has previously forced residents in the nearby villages to evacuate their homes, and taken them to Mosul for the next phase of the battle. Thousands of families were displaced to schools and their relatives houses in Mosul.
Shocking video was also recently published, emerges the shortage of nutrition aids in the displacement zones, while the battle to Mosul going on, for retaking the city of 1.5 million from the death fist. district by district, up to the central west bank, where the density of population puts the humanitarian situation on the critical edge. It's expected that the biggest marching of locals would flee the town as the battle creeps to their neighborhoods.
Fears inside Mosul concerning the forthcoming battles that could trigger the biggest humanitarian crisis, in the midst of the current tough conditions which the displaced people are suffering from. Shocking images have been recently floated to public, emerging families that shivering from the coldness. The family has dug what seemed to be grave like but it was not. The family went down in it. In this method, they tend to face the coldness where the temperature goes to zero below.
Iraqis can held rallies and biggest banquet in the world for the religious atmospheres, but the displaced families in Iraq struggle for bottle of water given by UN
In the time when rest of Iraqis from Baghdad and other southern cities celebrate in the anniversary of the massacre happened to Al Hussein. They spend millions of dollars to provide the free given food made of meat and rice in voluntary stalls, to the visitors. The enormous money spent in what so called " Hussein fest" would be enough to cover all the Iraqis who were internally displaced. But the truth is that there is no solidarity between Shias and Sunnis at all according to what we have experienced.
The character M is the excuse that ISIS claim in harvesting the suspected Mosuli local people that being accused of having a link with the liberator troops, in time that Islamic state sacrifices in fighting against the world for Muslims sake as they have claimed in the latest video been issued recently, showed 12 guys in orange clothing confessing that they have written this character on the walls and passed information identify ISIS sites to the Iraqi troops to be bombarded later.
Then the 12 victims have been taken to the place where they wrote the letter to be killed by marking on their heads then shot to head in one of the most brutal death images.
This character refers to the Arabic word ( Mukawamha ) means in English rebel or resistance, which terrifies ISIS the most according to the witness from Mosul that he told Mosul In English " ISIS have told us over and over that they worry from the (hypocrites) inside the Islamic state rather than the Iraqi troops" as they described " ISIS say that the hypocrites are the eyes of infidels , otherwise the infidels troops are blind" he added .
He says that ISIS has tightened the rules on internet use then prevented it.
"Anybody captured having a SIM card, might be accused of giving information to the Iraqi troops. People use the internet so secretly in conducting connections with the outer world, but we are still very careful in charging our social media passwords from time to time and never publishing any material or making an action that can lead to us" he said
The displaced people from Mosul to Kirkuk which has recently witnessed an offensive carried out by group of ISIS fighters, convicts the Peoples of Mosul there of being linked to ISIS. Social media brought the story early on morning. Meanwhile some pages have alleged that governor of Kirkuk ordered that all displaced Arabs shall immediately quit while another pages denied the claim.
On Friday, ISIS attacked some western neighborhoods in a despaired attempt to scatter the pressure of offensive troops to retake Mosul. The troops in Kirkuk have broken the plan and griped the situation again. The ISIS fighters attacked the city in their uniform clothing and long beard. It can refer that the fighters have sneaked into city .
Punished on ISIS crimes
Despite the alarming that amnesty rang on 18th of October, issued 70 pages report condemns the illegal acts carried by the Iraqi forces and Shias militias against the displaced Sunnis who fled their towns controlled by ISIS to what so called a safe spots in the Iraq, face improper behaviors from the Iraqi authorities that might be reached to execution for unproved charges as the report shows.
Amnesty warned the Iraqi government and asserted that these acts should be happened again.
The innocent Mosulis who fled the violence to neighboring Kirkuk were given a deadline to evacuate the city , otherwise they face consequences.
The official Kurdish army and backed groups by autonomous government, reportedly informed the displaced people to leave the city according to witnesses.
1. ISIS is weak and don't believe the last film that emerges ISIS as the sole controller.
2. The air strikes are ongoing and very accurate as much as possible to avoid causing any damage for civilians.
3. The left bank or the east part of Mosul is semi empty from ISIS members that grip the people
4. The west bank in Mosul is where ISIS still conduct their silly activities in order to show Mosuli that Islamic state is still strong.
5. Despite the losses that ISIS lost the vast territory in Iraq but they're still telling the locals that they have taken Kirkuk and Qayarraha, and this is the biggest lies because people in Mosul understand that very well
6. In western part of Mosul , ISIS started to use women , the wives of the fighters in order to show that their spouses are in the battle arena and their women are in there to control the coward men that chose to sit at homes .

Finally, MINCE started delivery to Agouza.
Jormet Burgers owner Mr. Mourad is quite pissed because by doing that, MINCE are stealing their main (and only) customer Uncle Kamal.
Watch what happens when Mourad confronts Kamal.
MINCE wanted to tell people about their new menu and their new delivery service. What better way to do it than through Hitler...
Mama Nagwa is a 80s and 90s celebrity in Egypt. She loves MINCE and is a regular. So we decided to dub on one of her videos.
Egyptian cows are getting pissed because MINCE burgers are offering jobs to Australian cows.
MINCE Virals
MINCE is a small but awesome gourmet burger joint in Cairo. Handling the entire social media calendar of the brand, I decided to come up with daring videos.
The results were amazing. Without any media spend, the number of fans on Facebook rose from a couple of hundred to 2,000 in a few weeks.
Also, the "Bob's Burgers" video promoting the MINCE delivery got over 200 likes and 200 shares, an amazing accomplishment for a brand with only 1,400 fans at the time.

Miranda Kerr is Missing Something
I never understood how the lack of eyebrows is considered "conceptual" or "high fashioned" even though it's often seen on runways. But Miranda is sure edgy enough since she now looks like this alien from "Signs". That's pretty fierce. As I recall those aliens kidnapped a bunch of people and tried to kill Mel Gibson. But damn, whoever came up with this obviously has no clue that the concept of "school girls" is hot and slutty, and not like they could pass as a terminally ill patient. What a downer!
Someone pass Miranda a sharpie so she can draw her eyebrows back!

Woa She looks so much better as a brunette!!! Downer is the right word here. She needs eyebrows & her brown hair. She just looks really washed out & not pretty at all. Go back to Victoria Secret.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousTuesday, June 01, 2010
But then she'd be rocking the East LA "Chola" look with her sharpie eyebrows...never a good look ;o)ReplyDelete
I totally agree with you. I love her and she does not look like herself at all in those pictures!ReplyDelete
i agree with you !ReplyDelete
i love the way she is, but these shots are still stunning !
i guess its okay to work in different hair colors,styles, etc.. to me, a good model is a versatile model who can do any kind of shoots :)
Hey :)ReplyDelete
Ha! @ "ikea dogs." I think I slipped up and had one that morning...of course, it didn't end well HA.
Lol @ the Signs....all this time I've been wondering what THEY looked like hehe. But I agree with the eyebrow spaz, guess she just wanted to crank that Whoopi Goldbeirg style, smh. At least the clothes are nice..if THIS holy act -is NOT going to get her out of THAT limelight. She should pray harder, hehe. Have a groovy day :)
I think she has somewhat failed at throwing off the sex symbol image and I totally agree she suits brunette better than blonde although it isn't too bad she is still gorgeous.ReplyDelete
Holy crap are you sure that's her?! She does look a tad alien! Though if I was trying to steer away from the sex symbol thing (which psh if you're admired a bunch of the male population, why would you want to leave that?!), I would go far away from the school girl look rather than hiding my eyebrows...ReplyDelete
Lol... she does look like an alien... why did they do that to her eyebrowsReplyDelete
Love this editorial!ReplyDelete
I like her much better as a brunette xDReplyDelete
wow, i love her new look!ReplyDelete
love the pictures....but sure do agree with you...she need her eyebrows back.....ReplyDelete
The no eyebrow look is so wierd to me and I do makeup! Anyhoo, I left you an award over at my place doll ;) xoxoReplyDelete
Wow, she looks so different here! Btw, I tagged you: http://chyix2.blogspot.com/2010/06/cherry-on-top-award-o.html :)ReplyDelete
Very interesting, haha. I agree with the eyebrows thing too...weird XDReplyDelete
I agree completely about the whole no-eyebrows thing... That's just a little weird.ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and for your sweet comment! Yours is fab; I can't wait for more!
xxoo Josie
What a beatifull pictures! I fell in love, great ideas and i love this music:)ReplyDelete
Maybe over the weekend she worked the grill at a cookout and burned off the brows??? LOLReplyDelete
There might be something wrong with me. She does not look attractive in these pictures, except maybe water fountain picture...just a little.
Thanks for your last comment, I really appreciate the "warming" thought.
I like her actually but she doesn't even look Miranda here.and yeah, i agree she's missing her eyebrows LOL,maybe because they want a 'no expression' face? i get it, she can pose and exude the model aura but i don't feel her at those pics.yeah its a downer =( i want to see her on concepts like innocent but hot at the same time.anyways, go Miranda! *cheer*ReplyDelete
i love the photos but her no eyeborws kinda creep me out XDReplyDelete
She doesn't even look like Miranda Kerr anymore >.< . Hey, maybe Orlando will be single again soon ;pReplyDelete
woww i did not recognize her lol i hope she puts those caterpillars back on!!!ReplyDelete
I've always found the lack of eyebrows odd-looking, but mix it with the raunchy nasty girl thing and YIKES!ReplyDelete
I do really like the blue chiffon dress at the top, it's gorgeous.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who never understands the beauty of no brows. It's the most important part of my makeup, I don't go out without lining them!ReplyDelete
The no eye brows thing is ... um... weird. People with out eye brows definitely look like aliens. {*LOL}ReplyDelete
I don't really like Miranda with this hair color. {*yuck}
For some reason she reminds me of that old TV series called Alias with Jennifer Garner as the lead. I don't know what it is but the photos do that.
<3s Serena.
OMG i really love her .. i kind of have a major girl crush on her.. but WTF?! these are by far the worst pics of her :/ReplyDelete
the picture with the nuns is a little freakish.ReplyDelete
I'm so confused as to why people think this is cool. I barely recognized her in this editorial. I love her Vs ads. Haha at the chola comment.ReplyDelete
that nun photo is scandalous!! haha... but I dont get the no eyebrow look either :/ReplyDelete
Miranda Kerr is something hot hey?! But I have to say it's the hAIR colour that doesn't do it for me! I hate wishy-washy strawberry blonde/oranges. It's the colour I get when I bleach out my black hair and before I tone it to blonde X_X It's horrific lolReplyDelete
Hmmmm maybe it's the butt pose that makes it so trash? :/
Oh well, I'll still be rooting for her when she struts down the Victoria's Secret Runway this year hehehh
haha the lack of eyebrows bothers me too!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousWednesday, June 02, 2010
the shot with the other nun is kinda creepy and gross. the others looks great, even with the missing eyebrows. i guess its consider conceptual because the missing eyebrows take some of the 'softness' away from her face. almost more masculine. oh, and the fact that she is necking with a nun makes it conceptual as well. take care!ReplyDelete
yikes! she is pretty but im a big fan of eyebrows! *gets sharpie*ReplyDelete
She looks amazing :)ReplyDelete
I love your blog, it's full of new and cool stuff:)
Thank you for leaving me a comment, it means a lot:)
Lots of hugs

Do you have any aspirations to become a bodybuilding and fitness professional one day?
I would like to put the pain and frustration that I had to offer through my best. I want to share with you what I learned, you help you succeed and achieve your dreams:
- To develop, create or invent a "turnkey" system or structured plan (ie training, nutrition, supplementation, lifestyle, or a combination of all these factors) to target audience or market niche.
- Create a very recognizable, gadget-type name or title to your system would be an extremely useful marketing tool now and in the future (ie bold ideas, Mass. Machine, Max-OT, Heavy Duty, etc. .)
- Master your craft and develop your style as an inspiration writer. Get a short, 10-chapter book in progress that explains your unique history and the system and do so as soon as possible in your journey in the company fitness.
- Master your craft and style as an emotion-inducing the president. Get to as many people as you can and as often as possible.
- You must treat your passion for bodybuilding and fitness as a moneymaking effort from the beginning of your journey. So, of course, you never expect it will eventually become a moneymaking enterprise. Of course, you like helping people and the same goes I. And, yes, you'll have to share your expertise for free as you establish yourself as an authority. But let me make this perfectly clear: there will be a point in time when the pleasure to help others just for a "pat on the back" will no longer be a sponsor. That is what the forces of health professionals and many of the physical condition to end what they do. They move on to other things in their life-long before they have mastered their skills and touched as many lives as they wanted.
- Remember that when you're in a company with the specific purpose of making money, you really connect to your audience and have a sincere desire to help them improve their quality of life.
- Be persistent. Stay true to yourself, your dreams and your plans and continue to seek ways to create the extraordinary life you want to do in the bodybuilding and fitness world. The road you are about to begin will be difficult at certain times. But is not it true that nothing great that the value of having a life?

WHITE PAPER: San Pablo Baylands: Ensuring a Resilient Shoreline
October 26, 2017
This white paper was prepared by the SR 37 — Baylands Group, comprised of North Bay wetland management partners, including Sonoma Land Trust, in response to the State Route 37 redesign effort led by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission and the elected officials and transportation authorities of Marin, Sonoma, Napa and Solano Counties. This document summarizes existing ecological conditions of the San Pablo Baylands and the conservation investments made by Sonoma Land Trust and our partners, and provides recommendations to ensure that the highway redesign is consistent with our conservation and restoration goals.
Sonoma Baylands Oral History Project
The Sonoma Baylands are the lands around San Pablo Bay that were now or historically submerged by the tides. The story of the Baylands is one of change. Not only has the landscape undergone continual changes, but so have the people and our perspectives. This new report and video, a partnership between Sonoma Land Trust, the Sonoma RCD and local landowners, sheds light on the complexities of the areas' cultural and land use history. Portraying a vast history of native use, economic incentive, agricultural productivity, and land preservation, the project tells the story of those who have stewarded this ever changing place, then and now.

The Sonoma Developmental Center: Site Transformation Study
This 2015 Study by the Potrero Group borrows from transformation stories of other large institutions to identify key principles and lessons learned that could inform the process of what to do after SDC closes in 2018.

We invite you to review our long-term vision and goals, and the conservation initiatives that your land trust will be working to complete over the next five years.

Sonoma Valley Wildlife Corridor Road Underpass Use Report
In 2013, Sonoma Land Trust began a multi-year study, funded in part by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, to determine whether wild animals are able to move freely through a designated wildlife corridor. As part of the larger study, we placed cameras at underpasses to determine if these structures are facilitating wildlife movement under Highway 12 and Arnold Drive within and adjacent to the corridor. Roads often fragment landscapes, but they may be permeable to safe wildlife passage where crossing structures are available. This report describes and summarizes data and findings from the first year of data collected at several underpasses.
Wildlife Corridor Mgmt & Monitoring Strategy
The Sonoma Valley Wildlife Corridor is a constricted, yet vital, connection through which wildlife may move through a fragmented landscape. It is also at serious risk of being lost. The Management and Monitoring Strategy describes current conditions limiting wildlife passage in the corridor and provides recommendations to mitigate for or remove barriers on corridor lands synthesized from current literature, biological surveys, property assessments and a panel of experts. It also articulates a monitoring plan to develop a picture of wildlife in the region and their movement across the landscape.

Restoration Plan
February 2006
This Plan presents an overview of the Sears Point Restoration Project and proposed alternatives for restoring, enhancing, and managing several ecosystem types on the 2327 acre property located in southern Sonoma County at the edge of San Francisco Bay. The restoration, enhancement and management options are based on the historic and present conditions of the land, the project's environmental setting, feasibility of actions, and broadly supported goals and objectives. Extensive data collection and analysis provides the technical foundation for development of alternatives which include restoration of tidal and seasonal wetlands and upland grasslands, continuation of existing agricultural uses, and a segment of the San Francisco Bay Trail.
Laguna de Santa Rosa: Resource Atlas and Protection Plan
May 2003
The Laguna de Santa Rosa, the 14 mile waterway stretching from Cotati to the Russian River in central Sonoma County and the adjacent Santa Rosa Plain, together form one of the most ecologically and socially important systems in coastal Northern California. This report provides detailed maps about the natural and social resource of the Laguna, and an action plan that describes a strategy for protecting the Laguna's critical habitat, floodplain, open space and recreational values. The Plan includes a strategy for preservation of key resource areas, development of recreational trails, and restoration and management of existing resource lands.
Russian River/North Coast Parcel Analysis
May 2002
This report builds on the Sonoma County Coastal Parcel Study by presenting a strategic approach to land and resource conservation for the Sonoma Coast from the Russian River north to the Mendocino County line. A series of maps describe land use, existing conservation lands, natural resource and recreational values in this area. This information is analyzed to develop a priority list of 12 properties whose acquisition will significantly advance landscape scale conservation in the region.
Sonoma County Coastal Parcel Study
November 1999
The Sonoma Coast between the Russian River and the Marin County border is an area of spectacular beauty, diversity and abundant natural resources. This report analyzes existing land use and presents an acquisition strategy that identifies properties that have exceptional resource values, are adjacent to existing conservation lands and provide the potential for public access. Primary and secondary acquisition targets are identified; since the publication of this report, all of the primary acquisition properties have been protected for conservation.


text: Our winery tour was one of the highlights of our trip. Our driver, Mike, was very courteous and knowledgeable. Not being from the area, they helped us to select wineries that might be of interest to us and helped us to put together a very nice itinerary. We had a great time – thank you!

I thought about you a lot today.
More on my mind than before,
Eyes and lights, pretend tears,
You seem to be gone again.
I grew up dreaming of girls like you,
I meet the dream, the real thing slips.
From my hands and onto the bed,
Some flicker, a sunny glimpse alone
You knew all this was coming,
I let the secret out.
You knew the parts of me were seen,
Used them to get your way.
