Windies need to put it together against Tigers today
The Caribbean Premier League (CPL) T20 tournament ended in controversy on the weekend in St Kitts in which players vented their feelings. The Guyana Amazon Warriors felt they were cheated out of a chance at winning the title that was captured by the Barbados Tridents. Nevertheless, the tournament, which featured mainly West Indies, has ended with the champions going on to represent the region at the Champions League, in India, next month.
Players from both teams are team-mates on the West Indies squad that opens the Dhaka Bank Cup contest against Bangladesh with a 50 overs clash at Queen's Park in Grenada, starting at 9.30 am. Dwayne Bravo, the West Indies captain, was not involved in the CPL finals, as his team T&T Red Steel finished fourth. He will have to marshall his troops for a single cause, which is West Indies.
Bravo has now won three out of seven ODIs this year, and 11 out of 25, since he took over from Darren Sammy. Bravo, himself, has been the team's best batsman and bowler this year, averaging 93.50 and taking 12 wickets in seven ODIs. However, apart from Lendl Simmons, none of the other batsmen have even crossed 200 runs this year, while none have reached double-figures in the wickets column apart from left-arm spinner Nikita Miller, who has taken ten wickets.
After the loss against New Zealand in the recent Test series in the Caribbean, the West Indies cannot afford to slip up against a team that is ranked below them in the International Cricket Council (ICC) rankings. The loss of coach Ottis Gibson will mean a realignment in approach and Bravo will be hoping to start off the three-match series with a win, that would ease any tension.
Bangladesh, meanwhile, are not the happiest cricket team in the world at the moment. They are in their favourite destination but in 2014, they have only drawn one Test against Sri Lanka and won two T20s, against Nepal and Afghanistan. They have a losing streak to break in one-day cricket, their favourite format, and several players including Tamim Iqbal are out of form.
On top of everything for the visitors is the absence of Shakib Al Hasan, due to a six-month suspension. The only solace in this case is that they beat West Indies 3–2 in 2012 without Shakib.
West Indies: Dwayne Bravo (capt), Chris Gayle, Kirk Edwards, Darren Bravo, Lendl Simmons, Denesh Ramdin (wk), Kieron Pollard, Darren Sammy, Sunil Narine, Jason Holder, Kemar Roach.
Bangladesh: Tamim Iqbal, Anamul Haque, Imrul Kayes, Mominul Haque, Mushfiqur Rahim (capt & wk), Nasir Hossain, Mahmudullah, Abdur Razzak, Sohag Gazi, Mashrafe Mortaza, Taskin Ahmed, Al-Amin Hossain.

Finding My Inspiration for my new website!
March 7, 2013
What will my new site feel like?
This is an eclectic mood board, consisting of color palette ideas, fonts and images I'm drawn to, as well as a little Midcentury creeping into it all. I hope the new website will capture some of this, though these random images will be more inspirational than literal.
I love the handwritten quality of the font below. In fact, it might not be a font at all; just someone's handwriting, but the point it, it feels personal and casual, and not too self-important.
The Three Most Powerful Words
November 24, 2012
And it was probably the most interesting dream I've had in a long time.
I used up the entire hour of class searching that damn book.
Dorothy to the Scarecrow: I think I will miss you most of all.
The Dream Ended
Although they are the most powerful words, I think they are the words most taken for granted.

Breastfeeding lays the foundation for good health for all children. It benefits the baby both in short and long terms. Taking the same into consideration, new mothers are advised to exclusively breast feed their young ones for the first 6 months post-delivery. It is also encouraged beyond that, until at least 12 months, and longer if both the mother and baby are willing. Working mothers should opt for milk storage facility or should take out time in their busy schedules to feed their babies. This selfless act creates bonding between the mother and the baby and benefits both.
When to Breastfeed your Baby – Frequency?
Breastfeeding provides an ideal nutrition to the baby. It is nearly a perfect mix of vitamins, minerals and proteins; in short it has everything that the baby needs to grow. It is recommended to breast feed the baby within an hour of birth. Newborn babies should be breast fed every 1-3 hours i.e. 8 – 10 times in 24 hours for 10-15 minutes every time in the first two to four weeks of birth. As babies grows, the size of the stomach gradually increases and also the volume of milk comes down. The breast feeding duration and frequency therefore changes. From age 1 -6 months, baby needs to be fed for 20 to 40 minutes per breast every 3 – 4 hours.
Benefits of Breast Milk:
The breast milk helps in boosting the immunity of newborns against a wide range of infections both respiratory and intestinal infections. The antibodies that fight against such infections are transferred by the mother to the baby via the breast milk. This protection lasts till several early childhood years. Breast fed babies are also less likely to have coronary artery diseases in adult life.
Breast Milk Vs Formula Milk:
Feeding the baby with infant formula in the first six months (breast milk substitutes) should be considered only if it is acceptable, affordable, feasible, sustainable and safe for the mother and child. If all these conditions can be met, the baby can be fed a quality breast milk substitute alone for the first six months, with no breast milk or other foods.

No additional equipment is required to participate.
The sport of lacrosse has grown exponentially in the United States over the last 10 years. The most recent participation survey indicates that lacrosse has more than doubled in size, to 725,000 youth and HS players since 2006. The US Lacrosse L2P program is a comprehensive learn to play lacrosse initiative that is directed towards new players and parents that are new to the sport as well. The US Lacrosse Coaches Education Department understands the challenge emerging lacrosse markets face regarding the lack of quality coaches and have developed this program with that in mind. The ATK L2P program is a proactive step towards educating and recruiting parents and young adults to be coaches. It is our belief, when introduced to lacrosse the proper way, these recruits will embrace the sport and join the coaching ranks. We firmly believe that a successful program begins and ends with quality coaches and we want to do everything possible to engage as many people as we can to get involved

If you haven't yet heard of Zalora Singapore, you should because it's not just another online shopping store, it's more than that. Somewhat reminiscent of ASOS.com, UK's largest online-only fashion and beauty store, Zalora also brings in renowned international brands and indie/new labels that are fast gaining a following. And judging from the prices, I think it's more affordable too.
I spent the last few hours sifting through pages and categories, and although I was satisfied with what the site has to offer and how everything is laid out, I think the website is lacking one very important feature that will make shopping online at Zalora much more comfortable and enjoyable - having the "view all products" function. As a regular online shopper, I love websites that give you the option of viewing all the products so you can just scroll non-stop until you reach the very last product they have. It sure makes browsing through all the items they have so much easier as compared to clicking pages after pages. Usually, I will give up reaching the 20th page (at maximum) because well, it gets a little taxing. With endless scrolling, it lessens the waiting time for a page to load too; great for the busy executive or student who just wants to take a quick break from working/studying.
So yeah, that is my only suggestion I hope the Zalora team could implement if they happen to be reading this. But anyhow, I have selected items that I personally like and items that reflect the most coveted trends of the moment to share them with you. And maybe, give you some shopping ideas/inspiration. Payday's coming, isn't it? (or for some, it's already here)
This week, let's start with shoes first, shall we?
1) Espadrilles
Espadrilles are the must have summer/spring essential but seeming that we have summer all year round, we could wear them at any time of the year whenever we want to. This pair of wedge sandals from Anna Field will look great with shorts or cropped pants. Wear a loose fitting blouse and complete your ensemble with the right bag and accessories for the casual, laidback look. Plus, espadrilles look dressier as compared to sandals.
2) Colourblock Shoes
|My Pick!
3) Chunky Heels
|Love the colour for this one!
|Add a playful pop of colours to your outfit
5) Ankle Boots

MONROE, Ore. -- Norwood Island is an in-between sort of place.
It sits at the confluence of the Long Tom and Willamette rivers about midway between Harrisburg and Peoria, a few miles northeast of Monroe.
The bridge that once provided road access washed out a few years back, leaving it cut off from the mainland and floating untethered in the channel that separates Linn and Benton counties.
After being farmed for many years, Norwood's 90 acres were enrolled in a federal conservation program. Crops were phased out and native trees planted. Today the island is covered in a riotous mix of native plants and invasive species, with willows and Oregon white pines jostling for space with blackberry and scotch broom, teasel and canary grass.
Now Norwood Island is in the middle of yet another sort of transition.
Owner Randy Crowson, a onetime farmer who now heads the Monroe School District, has agreed to sell the property to Willamette Riverkeeper for $75,000. The Portland-based nonprofit plans to clear out the remaining invasives, do more native plantings and open the island for public use as a float-in campground on the Willamette Water Trail.
"It's a pretty unique piece of property when you get to looking at it," Crowson said, with a prime location on the river and good fish and wildlife habitat.
"I always thought that piece of property belonged in something other than agriculture," he added.
"I just always thought it was the right thing to do to get it to somebody that would be in a position to take care of it."
Uncharted territory
The land purchase will be a first for Riverkeeper, a conservation group that has generally focused on safeguarding water quality, restoring degraded reaches of the river and promoting recreational use of the Willamette.
But the opportunity to acquire the island was just too good to pass up.
"It's not the kind of thing we normally do," admitted Travis Williams, the organization's executive director.
"But it fits in with our water trail work, it's in a part of the river we like, and there's the conservation piece."
Once the land transaction is complete, Williams said, he'll start working on a formal management plan for the property. After an environmental assessment is done, Riverkeeper will probably use a mix of professional contractors and volunteer work parties to restore native plants on the island.
The plans also involve carving out a few simple campsites for paddlers, anglers and other river users, possibly two along the Willamette mainstem and two on the backchannel.
"It really depends on where the bank is gradual enough, where it makes sense to pull a boat up the bank," Williams said. "We'll keep it rustic, maybe a fire ring or two."
New stop for water trail
After the property changes hands, Norwood Island will be added to the Willamette River Water Trail, a recreational paddling route that was created by Riverkeeper and the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department in 2004 and officially recognized by the U.S. Interior Department in 2012.
The trail highlights publicly accessible lands along the Willamette's 187-mile course, where boaters can get on and off the water, stop for lunch or even spend the night, often at no cost. The mix includes about 90 parcels operated by Oregon Parks & Rec, some islands and other properties belonging to the Department of State Lands, and an assortment of city and county parks.
Norwood Island would add to a small cluster of established riverside campsites in the area. It's a little ways downstream of Harkens Lake Landing and Irish Bend Park, and just above Sam Daws Landing and Buckskin Mary Landing.
"We're excited -- we hope (Riverkeeper) can pull it off," said Dennis Wiley, the Willamette district manager for the state parks department.
"It means more opportunities for people to be able to use the river and be able to get off and know they're not on private property."
Like other stops along the Willamette Water Trail, Norwood would get some signs to distinguish it from land that's off-limits to the public. Details about the campsites and takeout points would be added to the water trail's website, which paddlers use to plan their trips, along with information about changing river conditions, navigation hazards and so on.
Back to the wild
A fundraising campaign has brought in about $60,000 in donations to date, said Kate Ross, Riverkeeper's outreach coordinator. Now the organization is launching a final push to gather the remaining $15,000 needed to complete the purchase.
"We're 74 percent of the way there, which is huge," Ross said.
"But it doesn't mean a thing if we can't close the gap."
Donations can be made online at the Willamette Water Trail website, willamettewatertrail.org.
But even now, before the land transaction is complete or any major restoration work has begun, Norwood Island is well on its way back to the wild.
The narrow, crescent-shaped land mass hugs the west bank of the Willamette on the inside edge of a sweeping bend in the river. Willows fringe the shoreline, which juts about 10 feet above the water this time of year.
The low-lying interior is semi-open and grassy, with thorny clumps of teasel and blackberry scattered around. Along the eastern edge is a grove of sturdy young pines, planted several years ago by Crowson as part of a restoration project.
Trout, salmon and steelhead congregate at the island's northern end. Banks of Western pearl shell mussels cling to the riverbed.
Beavers gnaw on the willows at the water's edge, and deer and coyotes are frequent visitors. Bald eagles patrol the skies during the winter, giving way to migratory songbirds in spring and summer.
"It's a cool property," Williams said. "It's interesting ecologically given where it is on the river, at the confluence of the Long Tom."
And even though Norwood Island is surrounded by working farms, there's enough of a buffer zone along this reach of the river to provide a sense of isolation, where the loudest noise you hear is likely to be the wind in the trees or raindrops pattering on the water.
"Just listen," Williams said, savoring the silence during a tour of the island.
"Even on the upper Willamette, finding a place where you don't hear any cars, it can be kind of tough. Spots like this, you might hear an occasional vehicle ... but they're pretty few and far between."

The "shocking" extent of female genital mutilation (FGM) in the UK is beginning to be exposed. In the first year that the NHS has been required to collect such data, it was revealed that there were 1,036 new cases of FGM recorded in the past three months alone.
FGM has been illegal in the UK since 1985. The Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) only started collecting data on the crime in September 2014, when recording FGM attendance in hospitals and GP surgeries became mandatory in the UK.
Since then, in just 12 months, there have been 4,989 cases reported nationally. From April to June this year alone there were 1,036 newly recorded cases in England, with a total of 1,159 attendances.
The vast majority of cases are likely to remain unrecorded. Home Secretary Theresa May warned last years that an estimated 137,000 women in the UK are living with the consequences of FGM, in every corner of the UK, and a further 60,000 are at risk.
Expert Tanya Barron, chief executive of children's charity Plan UK, which works to combat FGM worldwide, told The Daily Mail:
"It's shocking to see the extent of FGM here in the UK.
"We've seen hugely increased attention on this problem in the past few years and we are now waking up to the scale of this terrible practice. What we must always keep in mind though is that this is not specifically a British problem.
"FGM is a practice with an inherently global dimension. And while it's vital that we do everything we can to stop FGM here in the UK, as well as to support the girls and women affected by it, the reality is that this practice won't end in the UK until it had ended worldwide."
Mary Wandia, FGM programme manager at Equality Now, a charity campaigning for victims, warned the figures are likely to increase further, saying: "that nearly 10,000 girls under 14 living in England or Wales are likely to have undergone FGM, so HSCIC figures are likely to continue to increase."
FGM is practiced across much of the Muslim world and sub-Saharan Africa. It involves either cutting the clitoris, removing the outer genitalia or stitching the vagina closed.
The purpose of the practice is to suppress female sexuality and sexual pleasure, and so ensure a women remain virgins.
Laws around FGM have recently been tightened in UK, and the maximum jail term for carrying out or enabling FGM is now 14 years. However, there has yet to be single prosecution in the UK for this violent crime.
Some experts believe the UK lags behind countries like France in addressing the problem because of a culture of political correctness.

"Once the skilled jobs are offshored from local communities they never return, which leaves a damaging impact on local economies.
"Unite members are determined to oppose the plan to send their jobs to India and cut other UK jobs, and Unite is calling on Capita's clients to veto the plans."
If talks fail to resolve the row, Unite will agree strike dates and action short of a strike on Thursday.
Unite members voted by four to one for strike action and nine to one for action short of strike on a 65 per cent turnout.
A Capita spokesman said: "In order to maintain its strong position in the marketplace, optimise operational efficiency and continue to enhance service delivery to its clients, Capita's IT services business has concluded that a revised delivery model is necessary.
"Since 30 March 2012, we have been undertaking a consultation process involving employees about a proposal to move limited elements of our work activity to our existing IT services operation in India.
"This consultation process is not yet complete and we are disappointed that 84 employees who are members of Unite – 2 per cent of the entire IT services workforce – have voted in favour of industrial action.
"We have robust processes in place to ensure that this proposed industrial action will not impact our service delivery to clients."

Cloud Velox sends advance parties to make the cloud feel like home
Network lifter-and-shifter automates cloud migrations
The vendor formerly know as CloudVelocity, since contracted to CloudVelox, has emitted code to lift and shift networks from your bit barn to Amazon Web Services (AWS).
The thinking here is that when you migrate an application to the cloud it's best if the network it's set up to use comes along for the ride, because otherwise the migration will require some painful re-building work to get the job done. But CloudVelox thinks not many folks have taken a shine to AWS' networking or acquired the skills to build really complex networks up there in Bezos' cut-price bit barns.
Hence the addition of "automated cloud network customization capability" to the new version of the company's One Hybrid Cloud product. Screw the lid off this one and it'll peer into your networks, conduct an inventory of all the nets, subnets, IP addresses and other configurations, then grab Amazon's APIs and rebuild that network without you having to wrap your brain around Amazonian networking.
Once you've got all that done, the expectation is that VMs you migrate to AWS feel right at home almost immediately, thanks to the work of the advance networking party.
VMware already offers this kind of stuff with its NSX network virtualisation product, but for in environments with VMware at both the on-premises and cloud ends. CloudVelox reckons it can make this all work with whatever you have on-premises and with apps that are virtualised or enjoying the elbow room of bare metal.
The capabilities described above appear in the new version 3.0 of CloudVelox's One Hybrid Cloud. Next year the company plans a further release to add Microsoft's Azure as a lift-and-shift target. ®

The #1 Mobile App in Eye Care Delivers an Innovative New Technology Solution to Help People Experiencing Dry Eye Symptoms
SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwired - July 12, 2016) - EyeXam, the leading mobile eye care app with more than 1.5 million free downloads to date, today announced the launch of a dry eye screening tool, now available within the EyeXam app, designed to provide dry eye sufferers an easy way to screen the severity of their condition on their mobile devices. The app also makes it easy for a user to search for a nearby eye doctor who can try to determine the cause of their symptoms and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
Dry eye affects over 20 million people in the United States alone. It is one of the most common reasons people visit an eye doctor and is becoming more prevalent with increases in the daily use of desktop and handheld electronics. Up to 40 percent of Americans experience symptoms of dry eye on a regular basis.
EyeXam incorporated the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire into its mobile app enabling people to determine the severity of their dry eye condition by answering a series of simple questions about their symptoms. The OSDI questionnaire is the most widely accepted tool used by eye doctors in the U.S. The EyeXam app also allows patients to search for a nearby eye doctor and is a convenient gateway to MyDryEyes.com, an educational web site designed to answer commonly asked questions about Chronic Dry Eye (CDE). Since CDE is a progressive disease and, if left untreated, can lead to more serious problems, encouraging people to seek help as early as possible promotes better eye health.
EyeXam users are encouraged to have proactive and fruitful discussions with their eye doctors. The mobile app is designed so consumers who are experiencing dry eye symptoms, like sensitivity to light, a gritty feeling or blurred vision, can download the free iTunes or Android app, take the dry eye quiz that doctors use and trust as a subjective measure of their patients' symptoms, and share the results with their doctor. EyeXam also makes it simple for dry eye sufferers to make an appointment with their eye doctor since otherwise it may be difficult for them to achieve optimal vision and/or to wear contact lenses comfortably.
"Making such a recognized and widely accepted resource to screen for dry eye available in such a popular mobile app is a big step toward achieving optimal eye health for dry eye sufferers everywhere," said Laura Periman, MD, an ophthalmologist whose Seattle area practice specializes in Dry Eye. "By using this mobile app, consumers can proactively self-assess their condition, start to understand the severity level of their dry eyes and easily find an eye doctor to visit."
"Over 75% of patients report their CDE worsens over time," Nikki Iravani, OD, optometrist and EyeXam founder and CEO, added, "but if diagnosed and managed properly, most cases result in greater eye comfort and sharper vision. Since EyeXam is the go-to destination app for self-guided vision screening, we felt it was important to include dry eye screening to further empower consumers so they can determine the severity of their condition and quickly connect with a qualified eye care provider to discuss a treatment plan."
Signaling the importance of mobile technology in healthcare today, smartphone ownership and use has exploded over the last few years. In June 2015 190 million people in the U.S. owned smartphones translating to a 76.7% mobile market penetration. Additionally, studies show almost 80% of consumers in the U.S. have expressed interest in mobile healthcare solutions and they clearly prefer mobile apps, spending 89% of their time on media through mobile apps versus 11% through the mobile web.
