London, UK (PRWEB) June 16, 2006
RadioScape, a world leader in digital audio and multimedia broadcast and receiver technology, will be exhibiting at Broadcast Asia 2006 on stand 8Q2-01 Dr Les Sabel, RadioScape's VP of Technology, will be presenting a paper on the company's "Flexible platform for multi-standard multimedia solutions in the mobile world".
"RadioScape is a key technology provider for Mobile TV trials* that are taking place around the world," he explained. "RadioScape is unique in that it is the only company that provides both broadcast and receiver technologies giving integrated, end-to-end solutions that ensure robustness and reliability. The secret to the company's success in being able to provide flexible solutions, which can be easily adapted to incorporate a variety of standards in the rapidly evolving world of Mobile TV, is that it uses software to define the functionality, i.e. Software Defined Digital Radio. Underpinning this is a framework called RadiOS that enables modular software functionality to be loaded only when needed, hence allowing a wide variety of applications to be incorporated into high-end, feature-rich products."
The paper covers the rapidly evolving Mobile TV environment with numerous closely related but different standards, and the relative merits of ASIC versus a software-defined solution based on RadiOS in addressing this market. A copy of the paper is available from the RadioScape website at http://www.radioscape.com/Resource_Library/White_Papers/default.asp
*Mobile TV trials
RadioScape provided the broadcast system technology for the following trials:-
- The DAB-IP trials in the UK in 2005-2006
- The current joint trial by RTÉ and RadioScape in Dublin
- The Centre of Excellence for Digital Broadcasting (CoEfDB) trial in the Netherlands
- The DMB/DAB-IP Mobile TV trial in the UK that was announced on the 5th of June 2006
- Trials in China with over nine installations in operation, some of which are now broadcasting commercially.
Demonstration on the stand at Broadcast Asia
RadioScape will be demonstrating Mobile TV in the form of T-DMB (Terrestrial-Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) and DAB-IP (DAB Internet Protocol), Electronic Programme Guide for DAB, Asian character set support on a DAB receiver and RadioScape's extensive range of multi-standard receiver modules.
Flexibility and future-proofing are key to RadioScape's success
RadioScape's DMB and DAB products are the solution of choice because of the flexibility of being able to be quickly adapted through software to cope with any changes or enhancements in the DMB specifications as they evolve. For example, the RadioScape Broadcast System can be configured to support both DAB-IP and T-DMB via simple software selectable options. T-DMB is typically configured to provide H.264 QVGA sized pictures at a frame rates from 15 to 30 fps using 192 to 512 kbps and higher bit rates, while the Windows Media format focuses on lower bit rates. These multimedia broadcasts will cover news, financial information, music videos, sports, education, movies and the simulcast of terrestrial TV programmes. Importantly, RadioScape's T-DMB and DAB-IP receivers can also receive DAB radio services bringing the benefits of digital clarity and a wider range of content than offered by FM broadcasting. Indeed, recent field trials for DAB-IP and DVB-H indicated that audio services were generally used more often than video services.

Taxation of Residential Property
As from 1 October 2015 a number of new filing requirements and tax laws apply to the sale of residential land.
(NB – the legislation adopting these changes is yet to be passed but the government have said they will be backdate to 1 October 2015 so you should work on that date at present.)
A Filing Requirements
- NB – These apply to all Property Sale Agreements (not just residential agreements) entered into from 1 October 2015 and to any agreement entered into before 1 October 2015 if the change of title is not registered until after 1 April 2016.
- The new rules require every Vendor and Purchaser to complete a Land Transfer Tax Statement (LTTS).
The LTTS requires the following details:
- Certificate of title
- Full name of parties involved in the transfer
- Whether or not you are a NZ citizen
- Whether the transfer is Non Notifiable (see 4 below)
If the transfer is Non Notifiable then you don't have to provide your IRD number or complete the rest of the LTTS.
If you can't claim the Non Notifiable exemption (eg. Your house is owned by a trust) then you have to provide your IRD number and if you are an "offshore" person details of where you live and your tax ID number for that country.
3. An offshore person is:
In the case of an Individual:
- NZ Citizen – not entered NZ within last 3 year
- NZ Resident – not entered NZ in 12 months
- Not a resident or citizen
In the case of a Non-Individual
- Incorporated overseas
- 25% or more control / ownership overseas
- An offshore person is required to have NZ bank account as pre-requisite to getting an IRD number
- A NZ resident who becomes an Offshore Person (e.g. shifts overseas) will have to provide IRD with details of their NZ bank account.
4. A Non Notifiable transfer is one which is:
- Your main home – you will need to declare that the house is or will be your main house, but this only applies if the home is owned by an individual. If your house is owned by a trust or company you have to complete the LTTS in full.
- A mortgagee sale
- Transfer from an Estate
- Public or Maori land
Knowingly providing misleading or false information carries a fine of up to $50,000.
5. To be your main house the house must be:
- Used predominantly as a dwelling – based on area. e.g. If you own a house with an attached flat and the flat area is bigger than the house the main home exclusion won't apply.
- If you sell 3 or more main houses within 2 years you have to provide full disclosure.
- A trust must provide full disclosure as must an offshore person.
6. NB – The fact you have to make full disclosure doesn't necessarily mean any profit is taxable.
7. Potential Problem
If either the Vendor or Purchaser don't have an IRD number and are required to make a disclosure, settlement may have to be delayed which could trigger penalty clauses in the sale agreement.
Therefore, all Trusts will now require an IRD number.
B The 2 Year Test
- This is referred to as a "Bright Line" test.
- It applies to:
- Properties purchased after 1 October 2015
- Sale of residential land
- Anywhere in the world
- Within 2 years of acquisition
Residential land is:
- Land with a dwelling
- Land with an arrangement to build a dwelling
- Bare land – area and nature is capable of having a dwelling put on it
- Dwelling includes serviced apartment but not rest home / retirement village or B & B
That is not used predominantly as:
- The main home of an individual or beneficiary of a trust
- Business premises
- Farmland
3. To be Farmland the land must be:
- Capable of being worked as an economic unit
- Of area and nature that indicates it is a farm
- Capable of producing revenue sufficient to cover holding/operating costs, includes cost of capital and recompense for owner's labour
Based on the above virtually no farm in NZ will meet the farmland exemption???
Almost certainly, all sales of lifestyle blocks within 2 years of purchase are likely to fall with the definition of residential land and therefore be taxable.
4. Exemptions
The rules don't apply to residential land that was:
a) transferred under a RPA (Relationship Property Agreement)
b) inherited land
5. When Does the 2 Year Period Start and End?
The 2 Year Period Starts when title is registered in the Purchaser's name.
It Ends when a Sale & Purchase Agreement is signed.
Using different methods to determine the Start and End dates is frankly, ridiculous and could substantially extend what any reasonable person would see as being 2 years.
e.g. You sign an agreement to buy a residential section which is part of a new subdivision in October 2015.
You obtain title in March 2017 and sell the section in January 2019.
Although it has been nearly 3½ years since you decided to buy the section under the Residential Property rules you have only owned the land for 22 months so any profit will be taxable.
6. What happens if you live in a house for period and then rent it out and then sell it within 2 years?
e.g. you buy house and live in it for 6 months but are then transferred out of town so rent it for 12 months while you try and sell it. The predominant use (in terms of days) is rental so any profit is taxable.
7. Can a Home owned by a Trust qualify for the Main Home exemption?
Yes, provided the principal settlor of the Trust does not have another main home or is the beneficiary of another trust which has a main home.
e.g. if parents own their home and they give an interest free loan to their son's trust to enable that trust to buy a home for the sons use, the home purchased by the trust won't qualify for the main home exemption if the parents' loan exceeds funds introduced by the son.
In the above example the problem will be overcome if the son buys the house in his own name.
8. How is the Profit Worked Out?
Profit is Sale Price
Less Sale Costs
Less Purchase Price
Less Any Capital Improvements
NB – Holding Costs, i.e. interest, insurance, rates and repairs are not deductible in working out profit.
Any loss can only be offset against other land profits.
9. Other
If 50% or more of the assets of a company, or trust are residential property, any change in control of the company or trust may trigger a deemed sale.
C Residential Land Withholding Tax
This is scheduled to apply from 1 July 2016.
It will only apply to sales by an offshore Vendor of residential land owned for less than 2 years.
As the proposal stands at present it is the Purchaser who will have to pay the withholding tax, so any NZ resident buying from an Offshore Vendor will be caught up in the withholding tax rules. Seems remarkably stupid but this is how this tax works overseas.

PremierSolutions Advanced DAF Technology
Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) system: PremierSolutions DAF technology has proven to be a very effective clarification process technology in removing TSS, O&G, color and heavy metals. The DAF is a liquid-solid separation process in which microscopic air bubbles become attached to solids particles suspended in a liquid, causing the solid particles to float. Chemicals are added to achieve coagulation and flocculation of solids. Comparison between a DAF and a conventional settling clarifier showed the following: a) DAF floor space requirements in most cases is about 15% of a settling tank's, b) DAF volume is about 5% of a settling tank's, c) the degree of clarification is more consistent with a DAF system, and sludge concentration is much higher (3-4% vs. 1-2% in a conventional clarifier). d) Operation cost of a DAF system is lower than that of a settling tank due to adequate mixing, and e) installation cost is significantly lower because of pre-fabrication. Finally, our DAF system is designed to be very operator friendly-simply one pushes to start and one push to stop.

My program will focus on the aphid vector, evaluating resistance in selected potato breeding lines using aphid inoculations. Will aphid-born infections behave differently from seed-born or mechanical infections on different potato lines? We will investigate how well aphids transmit different PVY strains, how strain mixtures affect aphid transmission, and explore aphid seasonal life history and chemical control. Hairy nightshade can harbor PVY and aphids and we will assist in tracking aphid populations and virus incidence on this weed to better understand the role weeds play in PVY epidemics on potato.

As a bastion of the dark side of the Force, Planned Parenthood co-opted Star Wars imagery in an attempt to capitalize on the outstanding popularity of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
The ever-alert Katie Yoder of the Media Research Center, a media watchdog group specializing in exposing liberal bias, tracked down a number of tweets from different branches of Planned Parenthood in which the abortion giant attempts to ally itself with the Star Wars franchise.
One noteworthy example, displaying a crassness that is emblematic of Planned Parenthood, shows two crossed condoms meant to look like the red and blue light sabers from the films.
May the force be with you. #safersex #condoms #starwars #StarWarsTheForceAwakens pic.twitter.com/W2aQhPTJNc

In another bizarre image, Planned Parenthood crosses Princess Leia with Rosie the Riveter, with the caption "Join the rebel alliance today."

Given its real-life occupation as the country's largest abortion provider, perhaps a more apt symbol for the group, in keeping with the Christmas holiday, would be the figure of King Herod crossed with Darth Vader. The caption could then read, "Join the Dark Side, and we can slaughter babies together."
Another Planned Parenthood tweet portrays a lineup of Star Wars PEZ figurines professing to "#StandWithPP," despite the fact that the characters shown all worked to defend, rather than exploit, women and children.

On Tuesday, evangelist Franklin Graham publicly left the Republican Party because of its continued funding of Planned Parenthood.
On his Facebook page, Graham blamed Congress for its culpable negligence for not halting the public funding of the abortion provider.
"After all of the appalling facts revealed this year about Planned Parenthood, our representatives in Washington had a chance to put a stop to this, but they didn't," he wrote.
"There's no question—taxpayers should not be paying for abortions!" he said. "Abortion is murder in God's eyes. Seeing and hearing Planned Parenthood talk nonchalantly about selling baby parts from aborted fetuses with utter disregard for human life is reminiscent of Joseph Mengele and the Nazi concentration camps!"

Iron Maiden's Dickinson Forced Landing
Metal band Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson was forced to land his World War I replica "with potentially low fuel" at RAF Halton.
The singer, 57, is an experienced pilot and is being applauded for his quick decision. "We applaud Bruce Dickinson's decision to divert to RAF Halton rather than press to his destination with potentially low fuel," squadron leader Gary Coleman told the media. "To see such a well-regarded pilot, and world-renowned rock singer, make this decision is great for our student pilots to see. It makes them realize that anyone can find themselves low on fuel due to unforeseen circumstances and that the right decision is to divert," he added. RAF Halton provided Dickinson with enough fuel to see him on his way when the weather improved.
To make it easier to divert in the U.K. Charles Strasser, the vice president of the Aircraft Operators and Pilots Association (AOPA), set up the Strasser Scheme several years ago allowing any aircraft in a real emergency to divert with no extra charge. 99% of the UK's airfields are signed up including those operated by the military. A review of fatal accidents in general aviation, published in 1997, concluded that the costs incurred by a pilot in case of a diversion were a contributing factor in their decision to continue a flight despite safety concerns. The landing fees for a light aircraft can be as high as £500 (790 USD) there, and were typically payable in full regardless of the circumstances of the landing prior to the adoption of the scheme.
RAF Halton is the oldest flying establishment still left in RAF service. Dating back to 1913 the airfield was used in the 2006 movie 'Flyboys' starring James Franco and Jean Reno and a fitting place for Dickinson to land. He was flying his replica Fokker Dr1 triplane at the time.
Dickinson holds an Air Transport Pilots' Licence with about 7,000 flying hours, some of it logged flying the band around while on tour. (see photos below) When he's not singing for Iron Maiden, he is a commercial pilot with over 7000 hours and is qualified to fly Boeing 757s as well as 737s. He also manages Air Djibouti, the national carrier of Djibouti, which was relaunched recently after going bankrupt in 2002.
Watch him fly a DC-4 and the Bombardier/Canadair CL-215 Water Bomber from the TV Series "Ice Pilots" in the videos below.
VIDEO 1: by Fish Griwkowsky. Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson, an avid pilot, pays a visit to the Ice Pilots NWT based in Yellowknife. Founded by Buffalo Joe McBryan, the company uses vintage planes in one of the last remaining frontiers in North America. The Edmonton Journal's Sandra Sperounes and Fish Griwkowsky were asked along to document this once-in-a-lifetime meeting.
VIDEO 2: by Cardiff Aviation. Passing through: two ducks are nesting at Cardiff Aviation's St Athan base ahead of official launch of the business. Bruce Dickinson of Cardiff Aviation and Iron Maiden is taking part in a reality series - Ice Pilots NWT, and while filming in northern Canada this summer made friends with the McBryan family who run Buffalo. Turned out that two CL-215 water bombers needed a stopover in Europe, so agreement was reached to park them up and give them a little tickle before they moved on to their next firefighting challenge, which could be anywhere in the world.

The last county to be created in Virginia was formed in 1880. It was named after William J. Dickenson, who was a "Readjuster" delegate to the General Assembly from Russell County in 1880.
The Readjusters were politicians who were just taking control of Virginia politics when Dickenson County was created. The party was named after their key political proposal to readjust the existing state debt (incurred mostly to subsidize highway, canal, and railroad construction prior to the Civil War), rather than pay it in full.
The Funders were in charge from 1870-1879. They wanted to pay off the state bonds in full in order to attract new northern/European investment during Reconstruction. However, this meant a high percentage of state taxes went to repay old debts from 1840-60 rather than to fund schools, new roads, etc. in the 1870's.
The Readjusters ended up repudiating a third of the existing state debt and stretching out the payments for the rest, rather than paying off bonds at 1000% of the promised rate. This let them promise more government services immediately to the current Virginia taxpayers, though lawsuits about the debt stretched into 1915.
For nearly a century after the Civil War, state politics would be dominated by factions of Democrats. However, the Republicans in the far southwest counties (the "Fighting Ninth" Congressional District) played a key role on some occasions.
According to the county's 2008 Comprehensive Plan:1
The 2008 Comprehensive Plan also noted that population and unemployment rates track world energy prices. When oil/gas prices climb, coal production in Dickenson County increases. However, as mines are mechanized, the number of miners hired in boom times does not match the employment levels of the past:2

Socialism in Quotes
Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word, equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.
Alexis de Tocqueville
Socialism and communism fall of their own weight because, as Margaret Thatcher said, you run out of other people's money. Because socialized medicine never falls of its own weight because you put people on lists, and they die waiting to get the treatment and care. So you don't go broke.
Louie Gohmert
The function of socialism is to raise suffering to a higher level.
Norman Mailer
In practice, socialism didn't work. But socialism could never have worked because it is based on false premises about human psychology and society, and gross ignorance of human economy. David Horowitz

Forget Singing and Acting:Ray J's $31 Million Deal Plugs Him into Future Tech
by TRN Staff Writers,
When Brandy's little brother first announced his digital upstart two years ago, quite a few people probably laughed. But these days, Ray J is getting the last laugh and he's laughing all the way to the bank.
Business Wire says Ray J has closed a $31 million dollar deal that will launch his Raycon–electric transportation brand. The company will produce what Ray J describes as electric transportation designed to "meet the everyday needs of the urban technophile". Ray J first tapped into the market with the production of his Scoot-E-Bike—the foldable, two-wheeled electric bike reaches top speeds of 20 miles per hour and can travel as far as 30 miles per charge.
Most of the world first met Ray J as he stood in his big sister's shadow on her show "Moesha", but he started acting long before his 1999 role as Dorian. When he was only eight years old, the younger Norwood was already on the grind with bit roles in TV commercials. He landed his first role on a sitcom in '93 on "The Sinbad Show".
Acting wasn't Ray J's only talent. At the age of 14, Ray J inked a contract at Elektra Records and released his debut alum "Everything You Want" that same year. Even though one of his songs made it to the film "Set It Off soundtrack, the album wasn't a chart topper and the budding singer was dropped by the label. Still determined to sing, Ray J teamed up with sister Brandy to record "Another Day in Paradise" which charted better especially overseas. Ray J would record two more alums with only one ("Raydiation") producing a single that cracked Billboard's top 20.
With the singing portion of his career stalled, Ray J went back to acting taking a part in 2005's "One On One" where he again was cast in his sister's shadow. But it would be another two years before the struggling actor would find infamy when a sex tape with former girlfriend Kim Kardashian was leaked to the public. The following year Ray J released another album and finally reached the top three with his single "Sexy Can I".
Ray J continued trying to make Hollywood his main gig with a couple of reality shows and more music, until a couple of years ago when he changed his trajectory and focused on technology.
His new deal with Cowboy Wholesale secured the funds to help the con Raycon CEO take his products worldwide. For a while there, it looked like Ray J was headed down a dead end road in the Hollywood shuffle searching for fame down paths that led to sex tapes, public beefs with other celebs and a few lawsuits, but it looks like the 36 year old has his head on straight. Ray J says, "I finally now can transition from music and TV…At some point, you gotta branch out of that and start taking some money that you make and investing it in something that could be profitable, or take a loss, you know, whatever it is. It can't be Groundhog Day in an entertainment world."

Destiny: The Taken King
The Taken King is an add-on of the game Destiny that comes with a new story and many new game play elements. The story from The Taken King present Oryx, a character that has arrived in our solar system on the board of a huge spaceship, Hive Dreadnaught, and his purpose it to revenge the death of his son, Crota.
The new campaign from the Taken King happens on Dreadnaught and also on Phobos, one of Mars moons, and now there are many maps available for the multiplayer from Destiny (see new campaign). Each class of characters receives now a new subclass, but also new weapons, new equipment from the categories Legendary, Exotic, Faction and Taken.
In this game there also new Strike and Raid missions in which the player has the chance to confront Oryx, The Taken King. The multiplayer from Crucible can get new chances, new maps and also two gaming mode – Rift and Mayhem.
The add-on The Taken King needs Destiny and the expansions The Dark Below and House of Wolves in order to function. Destiny is available for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One and Xbox 360.
The Taken King has many good parts, but it also has some bad parts.
Let's start with the good parts. First of all, it has a high-quality cooperative experience. Plus the game has brought many improvements to the story and in this way it has solves some mysteries left on air from the original game. The Taken King is actually a new space to enjoy the game Destiny since now it has many new maps and lands to explore that come with new, appealing quests. The game also has brought a third subclass for heroes and most definitely a new artistic style to enjoy the adventure from Destiny.
Now, let's talk about the bad parts. As I already stated above, if you want to play The Taken King, you will have to buy Destiny, the game and also the expansions The Dark Below and House of Wolves and all these are a content that is not that useful for the game play. And if you take into account these, the price is not that small for what you actually get. The Taken King has brought a couple of new elements to the story, but not that many and practically you play the game Destiny, but with a little more scenes.
But in big lines, the add-on The Taken King is pretty interesting to play and so I totally recommend it. Have fun!

In St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, as soon as you enter the magnificent church, something bright and beautiful can be seen through the baldacchino, all the way in the apse. It is a beautiful window of the dove – who represents the Holy Spirit – shining forth into the church. This window was designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, but it is actually not stained-glass. It is alabaster from Bohemia — a very precious, translucent marble. It shows that the Holy Spirit is the One Who is in charge, the One Who guides the Church, and the One Who gives us supernatural life.
Today the holy Church celebrates the Solemnity of Pentecost. The name "Pentecost" comes from the Greek word for "fiftieth." It is exactly fifty days since the resurrection of our redeemer, Jesus Christ. Like Easter, Pentecost is tied to a Jewish Feast, Shavuot, which celebrates becoming God's People and accepting God's Law. Pentecost is our celebration of becoming the New People of God and having His Law written on our hearts. But also from a practical point of view, Shavuot was a perfect time for the Holy Spirit to descend on the Apostles and Our Lady because it was a pilgrimage festival; many Jews and Gentile converts from other countries were in Jerusalem during this time to receive this promised gift. Therefore, Pentecost is also a celebration of the universality of the Catholic Church.
Jesus promised to St. Peter and the Apostles that He would send them the Holy Spirit to guide them into all truth. This stable gift of Jesus to His Church is not a thing, but a Person: the Holy Spirit Himself. He proceeds from the Father and the Son. He is their eternal, mutual love. He knows the Father and the Son perfectly, and so he alone is able to guide the Church into the full truth.
But which truth? Yes, all truths – all doctrines – reflect the Truth. The Truth we seek is none other than the Person of Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit is promised to lead us always to Jesus Christ, to sanctify us with the sacraments, and to guide the leadership of the Church in constantly teaching the truth in doctrine and morals. The Holy Spirit is also the heart of the Church's mission to evangelize all nations.
So, why have we not done that? Well, it is partly hardness of heart in the world, but also it is partly our own lukewarmness in the faith. Whatever our weaknesses are, we must surrender them to the Holy Spirit so that we can be completely His to evangelize the world: starting in our towns, starting in our parishes, starting in the family — starting with ourselves. Come Holy Spirit, fill us with the fire of your love!
– Rev. Nolan Lowry, STL, is Pastor of St. Edward Parish in Athens, Texas.

Golfing in Portugal simply must include some sightseeing. Portugal is a country with a strong culture and an interesting history. Add the following seven destinations to your list when you arrive.
One of the most enriching experiences in Portugal is catching a boat and trying your eyes at some dolphin spotting. The nice part about this is that these trips are available all year round. Bear in mind though that you will be more likely to actually see dolphins if you take your trip early in the morning.
If you visit Lisbon, then don't pass up the opportunity to visit the Belem Tower (also known as The Tower of St. Vincent). It's an historical fortress used in the days of King John II and will make your jaw drop because of its sheer size and majestic design.
The main beach in Algarve is absolutely massive and you can easily spend the whole day there. Spend hours lying in the sun and catching a tan. Or, if you more of an active type, take part in one of the many activities available such as diving, snorkelling, sailing, and of course surfing.
The Castle of Santa Maria da Feira is another historical landmark that will give you a sense of Portugal's rich history. The area often hosts medieval tours and even picnics around the castle, making it a perfect sight to visit with kids, or with your romantic partner.
The Douro river spans for over 200 kilometres and travels between quaint Portuguese and Spanish villages. There are boat tours available in either direction, but bear in mind that they last for a few days. If you have the time, add this awesome experience to your list and enjoy a river cruise that's hard to beat.
The Pena national Palace will make you feel as if you've been transported to a fairytale realm where kings and queens graced their land. It is located in the Sintra Hills and is predominantly surrounded by thick forest and mountains. Tour the area and visit the palace if you want an experience of a lifetime.
Evora is an historical city that dates back over 2000 years. The architecture and art of the city will have you mesmerized for hours and guarantee cultural stimulation from beginning to end.

So the law on self-defence is going to be clarified (again), says the BBC. "Have a go" Jack Straw reckons that citizens need to know that the law is on their side, and that they can use "reasonable force". Nick Clegg for the Lib Dems says everyone knows that "proportionate, reasonable force" can be used.
I wonder if either of these two gentlemen would care to let us all know what force it would be "proportionate" and "reasonable" for a pensioner to use when confronted with a drug-crazed twenty-something in the dark in the middle of the night?
Also could they let us know if such pensioners can keep weapons by their beds for purposes of self-defence?
And must these aged homeowners ascertain the identity and/or intentions of the intruder before acting, or can they strike first and ask questions later?
Or must we consider the aged as dispensable?

These are some of my favorite interests. I feel like these things shape who I am, so I felt it was important to include on my blog.
Sports (to play and watch)
- New York Giants – Eli Manning is my favorite player and has won two super bowls in 9 years. He gets way too much criticism that is undeserved. Especially from people whose teams haven't won a super bowl in over 20 years.
- VT Hokies – Football is very big at Virginia Tech, but the 4 years I was there, were very disappointing. In my opinion, we need to stop searching for the next Michael Vick (because he was one of a kind) and move on. I think we run to much and need to pass more. Also, I hate to say it, but 90% of the time we are very boring to watch.
- Tennis – Rafa Nadal I respect Nadal for his intense play and his awesome talent starting at a very young age. Nadal has a certain intensity on the court that seperates his from other tennis players. He is also a muscular beast compared to most other tennis players.
- Golf– Phil Mickelson is my favorite golfer because of his very humble demeanor. He is very easy to root for and and is very talented. He also is tied for most runner ups in major tournaments in addition to a good amount of actual major wins.
- Mute Math – Alternative band that has very relaxing music. I usually listen to this to relieve stress.
- John Mayer – Really good voice
- Josh Groban – Sounds just as good in concert as he does on a cd. Not many artists can say that.
- Movie Soundtracks – Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Last Samurai and Gladiator. Really relaxing and really good to listen to when your trying to focus in on work.
- Underooath – Save this band for the gym, but really gets you the blood flowing.
- Ellie Goulding – She's unique and has some really good techno remixes.
- Linkin Park – Listened to this band since 5th grade. Their music never gets old.
- The Dark Knight Saga – The most realistic superhero movies out of any I've seen. Really good story and characters.
- Braveheart– enough said.
- Gladiator – Russel Crowe's finest. Still one of the best movies I've ever seen.
- Cast Away – Tom Hank's acting was so good it made you want to cry after he lost his volleyball.
- Sideways – really good movie about wine (actually the only good movie about wine). Hilarious and Paul Giammati is awesome in it.
- The Last Samurai – Very good storyline and action.
- The Great Gatsby – Good cast and awesome remix of an old novel.
- Fight Club – Brad Pitt and Ed Norton's finest. I've watched this movie 20 times and it never gets old.
- Game of Thrones – addicting show and really like the storyline
- Entourage – Hilarious characters, good storyline and good plot line.
- Breaking Bad – Unique and Mr. White and Jesse form an interesting duo
- Californication – This show was very good at times and weak at others, but Hank Moody played an awesome character.
- Dragon Ball Z – Intense fighting and training scenes. Honestly watching this show makes me want to go the gym and lift.
- Boardwalk Empire – Really good plot and action. One thing I don't like is that they let the villians live on, while killing off the good characters.
- Homeland – Interest plot about a POW that returns home after 8 years.
- Band of Brothers – Based on a true story of Happy Company and their experiences through WWII.
- Super Mario 64 – best game on Nintendo 64. I got obsessed with this game.
- Madden Series – Very good series that I play a lot, although recently I haven't bought it.
- Final Fantasy VIII – Good game, but Squall (main character) was depressed the entire game.
- Final Fantasy X –First Final Fantasy with talking characters and awesome graphics (at the time)
- Final Fantasy VII –Iconic game that literally saved the Final Fantasy series. Without this game there would be no Final Fantasy. This game also had the best characters.
- Final Fantasy IX – Favorite game ever. Played it through 5 times. Characters were strange, but likable and the overall game play was simple and worked really well.
- (Even with all the new technology games, the old school Final Fantasy games can't be beat)
- Bodybuilding.com– a gold mine for nutritional information, constant updates, transformations and have one of the fastest shipping services I have ever seen.
- T-nation.com – Really good authors and free content.
- 180degreehealth.com – Lots of good information on all kinds of diets and their impacts.
- My Personal Wine Blog– Started this ever since taking a class called Geography of Wine in my senior year at VT. I want to keep it going though, because I actually grew a great interest for wine. Most likely thanks to my Professor John Boyer, who is one of the funniest and attention grabbing individuals I've ever met.
Personal Inspirations
- Lyle McDonald – He knows more about nutrition than most people ever will and I feel like a lot of "experts" gained a lot of their knowledge through his ideas. He also posts a lot of free content that I really appreciate.
- John Meadows – This is my most recent expert that I gain knowledge from. Posts free articles and workouts and practices what he preaches.
- Alan Aragon – Really enjoy reading his articles and has very similar views as Lyle McDonald and John Meadows. Also makes fun of the newest dieting fad, because he's smart enough to realize that a basic diet is all most people will ever need to get results.
- Matt Stone – Writes a lot about raising the metabolism and how dieting ultimately makes you fatter than you were in the first place. He also writes a lot about how some foods are incredible and others are not. His articles are fun and is overall likable guy.
- Eli Manning – My own personal hero for a variety of reasons. The main reason is his personality. Eli gets slammed by so many people for so many reasons, yet he's a two-time MVP Super Bowl champion and is just reaching the peak of his talent. In other words, Eli doesn't care what other people think of him and just stays true to who he is.
- Christian Bale – My favorite actor and I also have respect for what he does with his body for certain roles. It takes very strict dedication to do that on a consistent basis. In the past people say I looked like Christian Bale; only problem is they were talking about the his look in The Fighter. My goal is to look like Christian in the Dark Knight.
- The Rock (Dwayne Johnson) – I use to make fun of The Rock when he was a wrestler back in the day. But here recently he has come out with some really good movies and his diet/workout routine is pretty inspiring to follow. He's also a beast.

how long is the hair? cus this could be zero problem, either he has long hair, which you would have known when you started dating him or he has a tiny penis and if that really concerns you that much then you can break up, bad thing to break up over in my opinion but if you can't live with it then that's what you've got to do

His BACK hair. Back hair generally doesn't grow that long.

This week's Black Book Market Insights report takes a comparative look at how car segments have performed year-to-date in 2016 versus the same period last year.

U.S. Fund Managers Still Buy European, Merrill Data Show
U.S.-Europe Rift Doesn't Engulf Fund Managers; U.K., Swiss Stocks Find Favor at Japan's Expense
Americans may be avoiding French and German products, but when it to comes to investing overseas, their ties to the Old World remain strong.
A recent analysis of the largest U.S.-based international-equity mutual funds by Merrill Lynch & Co. shows Europe is the most-favored destination for Americans' money. Even in the case of global mutual funds, which have the option of investing in U.S. stocks, Europe still comes out on top, relative to its weight in standard benchmarks....

text: Thiruvananthapuram: Corporate360, a unique startup which began functioning with a five- member team in a small town called Pathanapuram in Kerala, is all set to establish the State's first rural IT Park wholly owned by a startup. Touted as the first co-working, co-living startup ecosystem in Kerala, the new facility in Pathanapuram will have 200 co-working seats and co-living space for 30 startups. Selected students and startups from central Kerala will have access to internship, mentoring, ideation work-space and seed funding at the facility. "This is going to change a lot of things. Imagine a situation wherein graduates from rural areas no more need to move to big cities for work or startup incubation. This means there will be no more talent drain of educated youth from rural areas. It will lead to balanced development of small towns and villages,'' said Varun Chandran, CEO, Corporate 360. "Two years ago, we began our startup journey in the small town of Pathanapuram. Corporate360 started operations in a restored tourist home facility. We had been working hard since then and created over 100 digital jobs in rural Kerala. In a couple of weeks, we will open the facility which will be Kerala's first rural IT Park,'' he said. Corporate360 offers SaaS-based marketing data cloud software to B2B marketers to help discover sales leads, ideal buyer contacts, technology installations and competitive intelligence. With 40 executives in five countries, we are a fast growing company with over 240 global customers. With the new office in Pathanapuram, the startup aims to create 100 new jobs by the end of this year, he said. This 12,000-sq. ft. startup space will be a boost to Kerala's startup ecosystem and will benefit student entrepreneurs from central Kerala. Corporate360 will partner with KSUM and IEDC at colleges in Kollam, Pathanamthitta and Alappuzha districts to provide startup work space and mentorship for student entrepreneurs, and organise innovation workshops and facilitate internship opportunities for them. Besides Corporate360, other startups operating from the new facility at Pathanapuram include Travalour (a travel app startup), Nalikeram (an e-commerce startup), Startup Escape (a non-profit startup boot camp) and two stealth mode startups. There is an opportunity to leverage digital economy on a permanent basis to create employment, improve the confidence and digital skills of young people from smaller towns and C360 is setting an example for this in Kerala, Varun Chandran said.

Ever wondered how to do your own custom coaster with your logo on it? You know…the thick thing where you put your glass in a bar so you don't wet the table…
Repeat Press of Somerville made some really cool custom letterpress coasters for Selectism and Highsnobiety.
They recorded all the process from A to Z and i never thought it took so much time to do and i guess they really have a lot of patience!
I like the type on it :)

Anti-obesity drugs can be effective against flu, hepatitis, HIVSeptember 29th, 2008 - 2:27 pm ICT by IANS
Washington, Sep 29 (IANS) Viruses dramatically increase cellular metabolism, and existing anti-obesity drugs may be a new way to block these metabolic changes and inhibit viral infection. Metabolism refers to all the reactions by which living things break down nutrients to produce energy, along with those by which they rebuild broken-down nutrients into complex molecules such as DNA.
A significant example is the breakdown of blood sugar (glucose) and its conversion via chain reactions into adenosine triphosphate, the energy-storing currency of cellular life.
As an important offshoot of that process, glucose can also be converted into fatty acids, the lipid building blocks of human hormones and cell membranes.
Many viruses, including influenza, HIV and hepatitis, use those same fatty acids to build their viral envelopes, outer coatings that help them penetrate human cells.
Going into the study, little was known about the mechanisms through which viruses hijack metabolic building blocks from their cellular hosts, with older techniques providing a limited picture.
In the current study, a team of researchers from the University of Rochester Medical Centre and Princeton University created a new technique to clarify these mechanisms, and found that the technique could identify anti-viral therapeutic targets, according to a Rochester press release. The study was published in Nature Biotechnology Sunday.
Researchers combined drug discovery technologies to capture for the first time the exact concentrations and turnover of interchangeable molecules within the metabolic chain reactions that convert sugars into fatty acids.
The fields of metabolomics and fluxomics have emerged to measure these patterns, and to provide insight into diseases with a metabolic component, from diabetes to infectious diseases to cancer.
"Using new fluxomic techniques, our study reveals that viral infection takes control of cellular metabolism and drives, among other things, marked increases in fatty acid synthesis," said Joshua Munger, assistant professor of biochemistry at Rochester Medical Center, and a study author.
"We also found that if you target these increases in fatty acid metabolism using existing anti-obesity and anti-metabolism drugs, you inhibit viral replication."

In an emergency, people must not only be able to hear an alarm - but understand its message. Autronica's voice alarm avoids the use of confusing and often frightening emergency bells or sirens. It uses a public address system (PA) to tell the public what the emergency is, where it is, and what to do. A calm, authoritative voice - either a prerecorded message or, when necessary, a live announcement, gives the public clear and informative instructions.
People are able to distinguish immediately between fire drills or tests and a real emergency situation. In case of a fire breakout, the public can be directed safely to specific exits, away from danger areas. Integrated into an Autronica fire detection system with point detectors and aspirating detectors, you will achieve the safest and most reliable solution in shopping centres - allowing the fastest evacuation in an emergency situation.

Let's first start with the girl behind this blog … my name is Elysa, I am Community Manager and Professional Geek Girl. I have a wide variety of interests ranging from wine to widgets. I surround myself with pretty things, my friends, artwork, and even my food is pretty (for the most part). I like to browse the web for new and interesting ideas.
I decided to start GenPink for a few reasons: The majority of the blogs I found written by women were "mommy blogs," since I am not a mom I wanted something a little different. Also, I thought this would be a great venue to share all of my fun findings in one place.
GenPink is about being a twenty something woman. Letting others know how our generation is different than those before us. We are career women, single & married, girl friends, and individuals. There is a delicate balance in being an individual and being part of a support system for your friends, family and your environment. GenPink is about balancing family and work, technology, entertainment, and exploration of new ideas.
You can read randomness of me on my post ABCs of Me or these posts tagged elysa
just a few of my fabulous friends
I got married to the most amazing guy in 2012. If you are planning a wedding I have a SERIOUS wedding Pinterest board. If you happen to be in Dallas area I'm happy to send you a list of our wedding vendors.
Need to contact me? elysa AT genpink works. Or you can find me on Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and Tumblr (all the links are in the sidebar).
Since launching GenPink in 2007 there have been over 70 contributors! And this number continues to grow. If you'd like to submit a guest post or if you have a product or a brand that you think would be a good fit for the GenPink audience don't hesitate to reach out.
Genpink was designed by XO Sarah Design. And the lovely Illustrated "Genpink girls" were drawn by my friend and creator of 300 Sunny Days.

Thank you thank you thank you! Too many girls feel the need to settle down straight out of college. I am nearly out of college and am looking to get my PhD the last thing on my mind is being a mommy. I am still learning how to be independadnt.
GenPink is awesome!!! I don't think this is a battle or site to point out the difference between those who choose to settle down and have a different perspective on life….rather, a celebration of the independance, creativity, and wealth of knowledge in today's twentysomething women. So refreshing! You rock!
I hope you don't mind the "intrusion" of a 30-something! Although I'm 31, in my heart I am still a 20-something gal. :)
I just happened upon your blog, and I wanted to say that I really love the idea. I just started blogging, and in my particular industry especially, I find that most bloggers are moms and it's often hard for me to relate since I have no kids.
I'll definitely be back to GenPink to get some un-mommy blog time!!
This is fantastic–I'm loving everything about your site.

I just stumbled upon your blog through 20 something bloggers on Ning and i think your blog so great.
i really respect what you've written here, in your 'about' page, and the reasons/inspiration behind this blog.
look forward to reading more…and thank you for being out there.
elysa, come join us on twenty something female bloggers!! (20sfb: http://20somethingfemalebloggers.ning.com).
i'm going to feature you as our first featured blogger!
Hi Elysa,
I found your blog at the 20somethingfemalebloggers (20SFB) and decided to check it out. You've got a lot of great content here and I look forward to reading more of your future posts.
Very cool! Also wanted to contribute that I'm the big 3-0, but still applaud your ideas in spite of my wizened and crotchety old age.
I do have a um, "mommy blog" (I gag a little every time I hear the term), but I've tried to do something different with it: http://peneloccupation.blogspot.com.
Also, you might like SmartiniBar: http://smartinibar.blogspot.com, another place where 20-something smart women (and me) gather. –pen
Just came across your blog and it's great! You sound a lot like me and durin this "20's crisis" – which I like to just think of as figuring me & the world out.. it's great to read stories from others!
YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY A non mommy blog. That makes my day.
Could I ask if you made your own template?
Yo GenPink…
I have been checking out your blog (along with thousands of others) for a good while now; and I want you to know that your content is a beacon in a sea of mediocrity. In light of this, I think you'd dig this project, designed to help tastemakers like yourself build a bigger following.
At the simplest level, it allows you to share and embed collections of products and videos across the web, making it possible to spread your discoveries further and wider than a blog alone. It also puts you in front of an audience numbering in the hundreds of thousands, all foaming at the mouth for the goods you share in each your posts.
It's nice and interactive too, with the classics like comments and a few originals that get you closer to your fans. Nas, Neyo, and the Cashmere Agency have joined us, though I'd like to support grassroots indie voices like your own.
To show you how serious I am, I've taken a minute to throw together a playlist of my favorite posts of yours.
Check it out, hit me up with your questions, and looking forward to hearing what you think.
Hey Elysa!
Just dropped by to introduce myself (again, I think) and give you lotsa kudos for this wonderful blog. Keep writing!
Hi Elysa! Came across your blog through the 20-Something Bloggers network. Love it! I've already added it to my feeds.
I frequently write about Gen Y issues on my personal blog and the blog of a Canadian career website for students and new grads, so I'm sure we have lots in common.
I look forward to reading more of your thoughts in the future! Take care.
I am [gasp!] 31 AND a mommy, but I try hard not to be a mommy blogger. I'm loving this space and will be back often!
Hi Elysa! Wonderful blog. Thanks so much for sharing. I was in the same place as you in that I could rarely find good blogs for the 20-something , career driven, yet feminine woman. That's when I started my own and it's been a thrilling experience so far! Thanks again!
Hey, just stopping by and checking out your site. Love it! Can't wait to read more.
Cool site! Looking forward to talking more with you.
Hi Elysa,
Your blog is beautiful (yes to crisp white space!) and your writing is great: I cannot stop reading.
I noticed you have written a bit about being the daughter and niece of cancer survivors. I was diagnosed with cancer at 27. After treatment, I ditched my hospital gown, became a patient advocate for Gen X and Y'ers with cancer, and traveled from the Big Apple to the Bible Belt to record their juicy and taboo stories. The result is my new book, Everything Changes: The Insider's Guide to Cancer in Your 20's and 30's.
Young Adult Cancer Awareness Week is coming up April 5-11. I'd love to chat with you about guesting or being interviewed on your blog. There's no sugar coating or pity parties with me. I'm all about educating other Gen Y'ers with practical tips and resources—on everything from cancer sex toys and body image to alternative medicine, work life, and health insurance woes—with a healthy dose of humor mixed in.
I second your MLK dream of getting ride of cancer one day – especially for those of us young ones who've got so much living to do.
Let me know if you want me to send you a copy of my book, and let's chat!
GREAT website! Love it :-)
Yay, non-mommy bloggers unite! There are clearly enough of us out there, and we need to stick together. Or at least support each other through the quarter-life-crisisy times of our 20s. Or just listen to each other. Hooray!
Hi, Elysa! I think I found you through #sxsw on Twitter. *waves*
Cheers to Gen Pink! (:
great site! email me when you can-want to talk more about your social media strategy – maybe lunch?!
Sydney Owen recommended your blog to me! I have added it to the iamgenerationy.com feed – let me know if ok with you!
Will enjoy reading this a lot!
Hey Elysa!
I know I randomly found you on Twitter awhile back, but this is the first time I've actually checked out your genpink.com site. Can you believe it!?
Anyways, it's great to see how much ambition and motivation a 26 year old female in the design community has. It's motivating to read about since I'm a 27 year old female designer as well. I'm an absolute sponge. I'm constantly soaking up all the new technology, social media sites, and design trends. Right now I'm pushing all my energy into relocating to DFW. Hopefully one day when I make it you'll see a Tweet about it! :) Of course, I'll have to post a twitpic because I'll be the happiest person.
You have a wonderful site. One I'll be frequenting more often. I would definitely enjoy picking your brain more about graphic design and the Dallas design community. :) Take Care – drop me a line sometime!
I'm so glad I made it here. I need to get my blog a rollin'!
Love your site! Glad to see there are other blogs devoted to 20-something women on the web!
Elysa, great meeting you tonight at the 4/20 DFW Social Media Marketing meetup. #dfwsm. I look forward to your blog posts and other interactions.

Love your story and your blog. Please visit whatsinurbox.com I saw you like to drink wine we'll here's one for you. One night my friend and I were polishing off a bottle or 2 of wine and my cell kept buzzing. She looked at me and said "whats in ur box?" We laughed hard and the next thing we know we have a texting apparel company – it's fun. Would love to see you in our T.
Hi…I just wanted to say that I stumbled across your website through twitter, I am a novice Web Designer/Graphic Artist and i attend the Art Institute of Dallas. I am about to begin training my mind and soul for the arts!! I love the arts yet each and every day something wonderful and unique happens, I just want to find the right tools to portray my thoughts in color, depth and in innovative ways!! I have a long ways to go but i have the fire and the desire to do what it takes to get there, I love your site and would love to get feedback once i truly start to blog!! I hope to develop a community with you through blogging and social networking please if you know of any events in the area drop me a line!!

Hey Elysa, I was noticing your numerous topics that you've posted on. For your next career piece for the 20-something gal, please link to a great post I've written: http://www.biggirldomain.com/archives/444
about dealing with the 20-something syndrome of I don't know what I want!
I've gone through the many trials and tribulations in answering that question that every 20-something girl goes through: what do I want. And you?
Thanks in advance!
Wow…You and all of your friends is beautiful.
Hi Elysa,
We are big fans of your site and became avid readers while doing research and writing our book Last One Down the Aisle Wins. Like you, we're big proponents of living your twenties to the fullest. We are interested in partnering with you in some capacity. You can email us privately at firstname.lastname@example.com
Hi Elysa,
I love your blog! It's great to see such a "fresh" voice on the web.
Hi Elysa,
Thanks for your blog! Yes, what is up with all the mommy blogs out there? They are so annoying. Maybe it's because we're young, we're not married yet (or maybe some of us are), and we are career-driven women. And cannot relate to blogs about moms that are obsessed with their kids.
Hi Elysa, thanks for the retweet about the E-mail and Social Media survey! I would like to send you a copy of my book. Which address should I send it to? my e-mail email@example.com

Hi Elysa,
I just came across your website–it's fun, informative, and great-looking. I noticed your goodreads bookshelf and can't help telling you about a book that you would probably like. It's called GLIMMER by Warren Berger, subtitle "How Design Can Transform Your Life, Your Business, and Maybe Even the World." I know the book well, because my husband wrote it! Since you're someone who likes quotes, you'll be happy to hear that it's filled with great quotes from more than 150 innovation gurus and designers. In case you're curious check out the website for the book: http://GlimmerSite.com. I think you'll find it inspirational.
Hi Elysa,
Stumbled upon your site & wanted to say, 'hi'! It's refreshing to find a non-mommy blog out there with fresh ideas & fun content. Just added you to the ol' google reader. Look forward to your stuff!
Hi Elysa,
I came across your blog, and I just had to tell you that as a twenty-something who just graduated from college and began her career, I find your posts to be very interesting and insightful. I really enjoyed reading your post about 25 Questions You Should Ask Yourself Every Sunday, especially the questions you added! I printed out the list and plan to add it to my Sunday routine.
Reading your blog also sparked an idea in my head for an interesting guest post topic. I would love to run by you, if you would be open to that. Would you please let me know the correct person to contact about this? Thank you!
nice to meet ya Bonnie. feel free to send me an email with your guest post idea info at genpink
What will you call this when you are a 30 something woman? :)
the original idea behind GenPink was to stand for Gen Y Women so even when I'm 30 something (pretty soon) I'll still be Gen Y so I'll just change my tagline it'll always be genpink though and I imagine I'll still have guest authors in 20s.
Hey things change as we grow. Titles alter so it is cool you are
thinking about that! Have a great week
weird – i found myself bombarded by mommy blogs myself. I also write a blog for women – well anyone really. Especially as it pertains to hookup culture, self-esteem, etc.
Hear hear for something different, eh?
I found you via Janet at Slice of Pink. I am so not a fan of mommy blogs. Too many of them. And…I am not a mommy! Except to my Pug!
welcome! any friend of Janet's is a friend of mine.
I love your blog, Elysa! I've known your Mom for about a year and she is awesome, too!

Finding this site completed my year, thank you! Please approve my request for membership for 20 Something Bloggers xx
I'm so happy I found your blog! I've now subscribed. If you'd ever want to submit a guest post for my blog, theYmightier.com, I'd love to publish it. You can do so on this page – http://bit.ly/he5frN.
LOVE your website!!
Hi Elysa,
Love your site. Just want to let you know about a new study that Business and Professional Women's (BPW) Foundation is conducting on Gen Y women in the workplace. We're exploring Gen Y women's unique workplace challenges and opportunities for the purpose of developing tools that help employers better recruit, support and retain Gen Y women. If you have 15 minutes, we'd love to hear your perspective. Our national survey will remain open until May 31st – http://bit.ly/j784lo.
Hi! Just found your blog! I agree…there need to be more gen y blogs written by women. I find TONS of parenting/mommy blogs. I can't wait to follow! :)
Thanks Amber! I subscribe to yours already, assuming you found me from me tweeting about you. Circle of the social life. :D
You have built a Pink Empire!
I'm in my early 30's and I still find your site refreshing because even though I am a mom and married, I am also a woman…everything I say and do doesn't have to be about the kids or my hubby. On your site I can just be me…a woman…who likes pink & pretty things! :)
Thanks 4 this! :)
What is a 20 something??
Hello There,
My name is Lynn
and I'm a Professional Blogger. I have more than 3+ yrs of experience writing
for the web and have covered plenty of interesting topics.
I came across
your blog and was wondering if you would be interested in allowing me to write
relevant & useful topics on your blog at no cost.
At this point of my writing career, I simply
want to get more visibility for my writing and I will write for free as long as
you are fine with me adding a small author bio section following the blog post
about myself.
Please let me
know if you are interested and if you'd like for me to submit a sample blog
post for your approval.
Thanks a bunch,
Love the look of your site, its truly beautiful!
Thanks. The newest design was done by http://xosarah.com/

Hi I have just purchased your theme and would like to import the demo data (Business 4) but it does not work properly. I have tried it twice but it always stopped by 65 %.
Could you please help me because I need this for urgent project.
Best regards Mat
Hey meyaj,
It seams I am having the same problem. If you find the solution can you please mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com. I can surely do the same if i get how to solve it first.
Exact same problem over here. I've had this theme since November, and I've never been able to successfully import the dummy data. This is becoming increasingly more frustrating.
I have the exact same problem. It stops right at 65%.
Since we all seem to have this problem, perhaps it would be better to have a WordPress database supplied which we can manually restore from.
Sometimes the import progress bar stops at 65% however the data import is completed.
Please check if the content is installed (pages, menus, portfolios, etc).
If you still have issues on installing dummy content please give us your site credentials ( in a private reply) and we will assist you install them.
Best regards!
I am also having the same problem other people here are having regarding the dummy pages. Mine stop at 65%… I tried a few times and ended up with five of each page. I went through and deleted them back down to one. However I noticed some things are missing….specifically in the portfolio section. The only pages that seem to have come in are the pages under the single portfolio. I do not have any options under the "overlay" "greyscale" and "basic"
Please advise
Thank you in advance
Please can you write your site credentials in a private reply, so I can check it?
Best regards!
I noticed that version 1.2.4 has addressed the import issue, however I still have problems with the import.
