Destination Tibet
What makes Tibet a great destination
Why Tibet
More than sixty years ago, Tibet was known as the Forbidden City. A virtual treasure trove of riches and one of the most spiritual places in the world, Tibet was a mysterious Bhuddhist kingdom.
Also known as The Roof of the World and the Land of Snows, Tibet is nestled in the Himalayan mountains. It survived a rigorous Chinese intervention and today you will find restored monasteries and a Tibetan way of life is slowly coming back.
Tibet is very special, it has the bluest lakes, the highest mountains, the deepest valleys and greenest forests in the world.
Lhasa, (means the Holy Land) is administrative capital of Tibet and seat of the Dailai Lamas, has more than 1000 years of spiritual and cultural history. It's remote, at a very high altitude, and houses famous Buddhist sites like the Potala Palace and Jokhang temple. Mount Kawa Karpo is one of the most important pilgrimage sites in Tibet, and is one of the most holy mountains in Tiber. It is a famous trekking destination.
You need a good DMC to make the most of your stay in Tibet, we hope to welcome you soon in this magical country.
Incentive program idea
Program idea Tibet
Day 1
Arrival at Airport + Welcome dinner
Upon arrival, you will be met and transferred to hotel, about 70km, 1 hour drive. Independent time to rest and acclimatize to the altitude.
Day 2
Lhasa - means holy land in Tibetan. Located on the northern bank of Lhasa River, a tributary of Yarlungtsanpo River, it is 3,650 meters above sea level. It is the capital city of the Tibet Autonomous Region and is a political, economic and cultural center of the region. It boasts many historical sites and scenic spots both in its urban areas and outskirts.
Day 04: Sightseeing tour of Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, Barkhor Bazar.
Potala Palace: A fortress built atop Red Hill in the seventh century which over the years become a 13th storey, 1000 rooms from citadel to the primary of Buddhism of Tibet..
Potala Palace is the cardinal landmark and a structure of massive proportion. This symbol of Tibet, an architectural gem built in the colossal monastic style of Central Tibet by Gyelwa Ngapa, the fifth Dalai Lama, in the 17th century, stands 300m above the valley atop the hill called Marpo Ri. The thousand rooms in Potala date from 1645 when the fifth Dalai Lama began erecting a palace that would serve as a sacred and administrative center. It served many succeeding Dalai Lamas and as one of Tibet's most impressive and enduring monuments, the Chinese Army of Red Guards protected it during the Cultural Revolution. As a result many of its chapels and treasures are intact, virtually unchanged since the 17th century Norbulingka Palace.
Jokhang Temple: This oldest Buddhist temple in Tibet (1300 years) contains Tibet's most precious religious relic-a golden Sakyamuni Buddha, a gift of the Chinese Princess Wen Cheng. This relic is displayed in the Great Hall and is still sought out by the religious pilgrims. Jokhang Temple is in the heart of old Lhasa, most sacred temples in Tibet established in 7th century by King Songtsen Gampo, the King who brought Buddhism to Tibet.
Day 3
Sightseeing tour of Drepung, Sera and Norbulingkha.
About 8km to the west of central Lhasa, Drepung, one of the world's largest monastery was built in 1416 by Jamyang Choje a pupil of Tsongkhapa, the founder of the Gelugpa Sect. Drepung literally means "Rice Mountain," after the famous and very large Danayakataka Stupa in South India where Buddha originally taught the Kalachakra Tantra.
Prior to 1959 Drepung ranked as Tibet's largest monastery, sometimes with a population exceeding 10,000 monks. It also served as the residence of the early Dalai Lamas, until the Potala Palace was constructed in 1645. The second and third and the fourth Dalai Lama lived and were entombed here. Suffering only minor damage during the Cultural Revolution Drepung has plenty of historical relics, Buddhist scriptures and arts. We will walk down to Nechung Monastery and drive to Lhasa for lunch.
In the afternoon, drive to Sera monastery, the 15th century sprawl of golden roofs and whitewashed walls is situated on a mountain slope, few miles n orth of Lhasa city. This monastery belongs to the Gelugpa sect and is one of the three great monasteries of Tibet, the other two being Drepung & Ganden. Sera was hard hit during the cultural revolution owing to its resident's active participation in the
Norbulingka is the summer palace of His Holiness Dalai Lama. The 8th Dalai Lama designated it as a summer retreat but the majority of the buildings were not erected until the reigns of 13th and 14th Dalai Lamas. Every year as the chill air warmed, the Dalai Lama would leave Potala in a grand procession for six months residence in the Norbulingkha. It is worth a visit and the park is a great place to be at festival times and public Holidays.
Day 4
Sightseeing tour of Lake Yamdrok
Yamdrok Lake is one of the four largest sacred lakes in Tibet. It is over 72 km (45 miles) long. The lake is surrounded by many snow-capped mountains and is fed b y numerous small streams. The lake does have an outlet stream at its far western end. Around 90 km to the west of the lake lies the Tibetan town of Gyantse and Lhasa is 100 km to the northwest. According to local mythology, Yamdok Yumtso lake is the transformation of a goddess.
Day 5

There are a shit ton of fat fucks and dumbass dragons and bullshit blimps while there are very few angels and gliders. On top of that, if all you're gonna do is add another obstacle after every round, why the fuck should I keep playing? There's no fucking incentive.

Until now there have been few choices when attempting to provide a truly professional electrical box solution for Insulated Concrete Form homes. Traditional electrical boxes are tedious to install and often require a fair amount of ingenuity and additional labor to provide a less than ideal finished product. Other boxes offered to ICF builders require installation before the concrete pour, throwing off your project time-line.INEXO's patented design provides a truly professional solution that works with your production schedule and provides the quality installation and finished look that builders require and owners appreciate. INEXO™ boxes link seamlessly with existing ICF materials, tools and methods. A complete offering designed for ICF walls allow builders to standardize on the use of electrical boxes throughout the building.

The Ministry of Education has called for tenders to develop the Otago Girls' High School music department to the tune of nearly $2 million.
Principal Linda Miller said there were two components to the project.
The first involves the upgrading and extension of the existing music suite and the second involves building a new stair and lift access tower that would provide entry from the Visual and Performing Arts Centre on the ground floor, to the three levels of the school's Siedeberg Block.
''The aim is to provide a state-of-the-art music suite which will have provision for sound recording, practice spaces and a whole range of different configurations of rooming to allow usage from solo performing to large ensemble groups, to perform and record.
''It will be a modern learning environment.''
Ms Miller said the music suite was ''a pretty tired part of the school'' and was long overdue for the $1.9 million refurbishment.
About four years ago the school upgraded its textiles and food technology rooms.
But this project was more extensive and would involve an extension out over the space between the Visual and Performing Arts Centre and Siedeberg Block, she said.
Construction was expected to begin in December and it was hoped the work would be completed by July next year.
Ms Miller said the project would cause disruption to the school's operations because classrooms in the construction zone could not be used during the build.
However, she was confident the school could work around the challenges.
''We're waiting until we have a programme of works to know exactly what we'll need to do in terms of relocating classes.
''We're hoping to get all the noisy, heavy earthworks done during the school holidays.''

I rarely rant. I believe that even if something doesn't work for me, it might serve others well and there's no need to discredit them. However, there are products so bad that I feel obliged to warn others and prevent them from wasting their money.
Make-up Revolution is a cheap drugstore brand that specialises in dupes of higher-end products. Their eyeshadows and blushes are clearly meant to imitate the infamous eyeshadows and blushes by such brands as Too Faced and Urban Decay, all for a ridiculous fraction of the price.
I'd read some enthusiastic reviews of their products so I hauled a couple of their products to see what they're like. The eyeshadows turned out to be very decent, but their dry lipstick turned out to be the second worst dry lipstick in the history.
Salvation Velvet Lip Laquer in the shade Keep Trying is a bright red liquid lipstick that comes in a cheap-looking plastic tube with gold print. It has a standard doe-foot applicator that distributes the product evenly and without any effort. The product is super opaque and one thin coat covers the lips perfectly. The lipstick looks glossy at first but soon it dries to a matte finish. Sounds good, so far, doesn't it?
The problems start about 15 minutes later. At first the lipstick starts to feel very, very dry on the lips. I would compare the feeling to chalk on the lips. This uncomfortable feeling induced me to lick and smack my lips, at which point I noticed my lipstick peeling in the most horrid way. You would never believe how happy I was to have tried the lipstick without leaving the house. Parading with my lips looking like in the pictures below would have scared people around me and it wasn't the time for Halloween yet!
This lipstick was cheap, but not THAT cheap. This makes me feel I've wasted my money on this horrible stuff. I tried this lipstick a couple of times to see if I was doing something wrong, whether I should moisturise my lips beforehand or perhaps keep them dry. The result was always the same.
The only reason why this lipstick hasn't landed in the bin yet is that I'm keeping it for my monthly faves and fails. This is an epic fail.
Disclaimer: I bought the product myself for my personal use and I am not affiliated with any company. I am not paid to do this review and everything I said here is my genuine opinion.

Replace the cells in the battery pack
Photo 1: Arrange and glue
Lay out the new cells on a flat surface and arrange the polarity and solder tabs in the same direction as the old pack. Then glue them together with a hot-melt glue gun.
Photo 2: Solder the cells
Protect the battery by clamping a heat sink onto the tabs before you apply heat. Then solder the tabs together with rosin-core solder.
When your power tool battery pack bites the dust, probably your first inclination is to buy a new one. But if the battery is out of production or the price of a new one is sky high, consider rebuilding it yourself instead of paying a professional rebuilder. That'll save you about $25. You'll need new cells, a soldering iron and rosin-core solder, a glue gun, and some wire and tape. The whole process takes about an hour.
Most power tool battery packs use 1.7-in. x .9-in. "Sub C" size batteries. Remove the screws that hold the pack together and yank the top off. Then remove the cluster of batteries and measure one of the cells. Then get the milliamp hour (mAh) rating off the old batteries (or search online for the cell specs). If you're willing to spend more, upgrade to cells with a higher mAh rating—they hold more juice. Just make sure they have a discharge rating of 5C or higher. And always buy cells with the tabs already welded in place (all-battery.com is one online battery seller). Then get to work.
Using the old battery pack as a template, arrange the first row of new cells in the same configuration (Photo 1). Then solder the tabs (Photo 2). Duplicate the process with the additional rows of cells. Transfer the temperature sensor and insulators from the old battery and reinstall in the plastic case. Charge it up, test it out and start your next home improvement project.
Required Tools for this Project
Have the necessary tools for this DIY project lined up before you start—you'll save time and frustration.
- 4-in-1 screwdriver
- Hot melt glue gun
- Soldering iron
- Spring clamps
Required Materials for this Project
Avoid last-minute shopping trips by having all your materials ready ahead of time. Here's a list.
- Replacement battery cells
- Rosin-core solder
- Tape
- Wire

Fungi vs Parasites
Both fungi and parasites cause various diseases to humans. Not only humans, but parasites cause diseases to other animals and plants, as well. Parasites are the organisms which are adapted to a mode of life called parasitism, which is categorized as a type of symbiotic relationship between two different organisms. Certain fungi species, some insects, protozoan, and helminthes are mainly considered as parasites. In parasitism, the parasites are associated with living tissues or cells of another organism called host, and live at the expense of their host without destroying it. Thus, parasitism gives benefit only to parasite while causing diseases to its host. Parasites cannot survive without their hosts, and hence they are well adapted to the living conditions of hosts.
Parasite is an organism that lives in or on another different organism called hosts, and obtains nutrient and shelter from the host without destroying it. Parasites are well adapted to their form of life called parasitism, which allows the parasite to take benefit from the host while causing injury to hosts. This mode of life is one of the most common on the planet and is associated with all the major taxa, starting from small unicellular organisms to complex vertebrates. Parasites are eukaryotic, unicellular, or multicellular organisms. However, most of them are motile.
The study of parasites is referred to as Parasitology. The basic characteristics of parasites are the presence of simple to complex life cycle, often involve two hosts, presence of sexual and asexual reproduction, and perform all biological functions such as reproduction, digestion, respiration, and excretion. Based on the morphology of organisms, there are two main classes of parasites; (a) protozoa, which includes all the unicellular organisms such as bacteria, virus etc., and (b) metazoan, which contains all the multicellular parasites such as parasitic worms (flukes, tapeworm and roundworm), some fungi species, and arthropods (ticks, lice etc.). Furthermore, parasites can be also classified depending on the place they live in their host, namely; endoparasites; who are adapted to live inside the body of their hosts, and ectoparasites, who lives on the body of their hosts. (Read more: Difference Between Endoparasites and Ectoparasites)
All the fungi are classified under the Kingdom Fungi. They live all over the plant and are considered as an important form of life due to their ecological and economic roles. Most importantly they contribute to the cycle of nutrients by decomposition of dead organic materials. In addition, they also make symbiotic relationship with plants, which in turn essential for plant growth. Furthermore, fungi are also important as parasites and pathogens, which cause diseases to both animals and plants. For example, in humans, fungi cause diseases such as ringworm, athlete's foot etc. while, in plants, they cause rusts, smuts, stem rot etc.
Fungi are more chemically and genetically closer to animals than other organisms, and thus the treatment of fungal diseases are more difficult when compared to other human parasites. Moreover, some fungi species provide benefits to humans. For example, yeasts, Penicillium, mushrooms are used in the bakery and fermentation industry as a food source and to make antibiotics, respectively. Generally, the fungal body is referred to as thallus, which is of either single cell or a thread like structure called hyphae.
What is the difference between Fungi and Parasites?
• Some fungi are considered as parasites.
• Fungi belong to a single Kingdom called Fungi, whereas parasites belong to several Kingdoms including Bacteria, Protozoa, Fungi and Animalia.
• All the parasites cause injuries or diseases to their hosts, whereas only few fungi species cause diseases to human and plants.
• Unlike the parasites, certain fungi species have commercial values (ex: yeast, mushrooms etc.).

Joan Brown's unprecedented success at a young age put her work into a national spotlight soon after she graduated from the California School of Fine Arts (now SFAI) in San Francisco, in the 1960s. Over the subsequent thirty years, Brown's work changed radically, turning from the influence of abstract expressionism and Bay Area figurative art, to an aesthetic that was uniquely her own. While her art shifted in style, however, the artist's influences remained consistent. Joan Brown's work is distinctive in its autobiographical nature. In it, she explored her roles as a mother, wife, teacher, swimmer and artist. Art for her was a method of deep exploration of the self, a way to escape from the pressures and realities of life while remaining influenced by them. Her work is simultaneously personal, absurd, comic, fantastical, and arresting—all traits that were integral qualities of Brown's character. Profoundly influenced by her own teachers and mentors–in particular, artists Elmer Bischoff, Nathan Oliveira and Frank Lobdell–Brown herself taught at UC Berkeley from 1973 until her death in 1990, going on to shape a new generation of painters in the Bay Area.
The Estate of Joan Brown was established by the artist's family in 1990, and strives to create a wider audience for her artwork. It is also committed to preserving her legacy by collaborating on exhibitions and publications, and encouraging placement of Brown's work in the collections of public institutions. While the bulk of Joan Brown's archives are housed in San Francisco, and a smaller collection in the University Archives at UC Berkeley, the Estate hopes to facilitate greater research and education of the artist's work by making archival resources accessible online. It welcomes inquiries from students, museums, researchers, and educators who are interested in the artist's work, life, and archives.

Throughout, the volunteers wore masks that precisely measured their energy expenditure, which means how many calories they were using.
Unsurprisingly, sitting was not very taxing. The volunteers generally burned about 20 calories during their 15 minutes of sitting, whether they were typing or staring at a television screen.
More unexpected, standing up was barely more demanding. While standing for 15 minutes, the volunteers burned about 2 additional calories compared to when they sat down. ...
Over all, in fact, the researchers concluded, someone who stood up while working instead of sitting would burn about 8 or 9 extra calories per hour. (Just for comparison, a single cup of coffee with cream and sugar contains around 50 calories.)
But walking was a different matter. When the volunteers walked for 15 minutes, even at a fairly easy pace, they burned about three times as many calories as when they sat or stood.

Some Religion Critics Are Legitimate Voices
I am disappointed in Mary Eberstadt's Houses of Worship column "Curse of the Christian-Bashers" (Taste page, Weekend Journal, Feb. 16).
First, it is easy to find people from either side of the political spectrum who hold extreme views. But Ms. Eberstadt unfairly links the extremes of religion-bashing bloggers with the viewpoints of more serious writers.

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Lancaster District Curriculum
Geography is part of the Social Studies curriculum at Lancaster Schools. Students begin by learning the meanings for direction words like up, down, far and near. They then learn how to use these words to describe their environment. Before they enter middle schools the students learn about the geography of their state and their country. In high school they learn how topographical features help determine where people settle and enable aspects of society, such as trade, to develop.
A student's understanding of the reading curriculum, at Lancaster Schools, is built on their vocabulary. Students begin by learning small words, from one to three letters long. They learn how to help break them down by sounds. Then the words become a bit longer and more difficult. By the time the students have completed elementary and middle school, they have a sight word vocabulary consisting of three-syllable words. By building up their vocabulary, students are able to increase their fluency and comprehension of material which helps to decode and determine an author's purpose.
Testimonials and Case Studies from Our Parents
SchoolTutoring Academy has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was very self-conscious about her difficulties with the math section of the SAT. SchoolTutoring Academy's Academic Directors created an action plan that boosted my daughter's score and confidence level.
SchoolTutoring Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades. Test Prep Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades.
SchoolTutoring Academy Increased My SAT Score By 200 Points
My son's math marks in high school have always been weak so I found it very beneficial that his ACT tutor worked on solidifying his fundamentals while prepping for the ACT.
SchoolTutoring Academy gave my daughter the confidence she needed to boost her SAT score Thank you!
SchoolTutoring has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was able to improve her test scores after a few months of tutoring with SchoolTutoring. However, while raising test scores is great, the real payoff is in the self-confidence that she gained.
I just wanted to send a quick note to say thank-you! My son is very impressed with his tutor and looks forward to each session. What's particularly amazing about this is our son has never really looked forward to math or school for that matter!
We are so happy with the results of your tutoring program and academic support. Homework time was such a stressful evening for the entire evening before we brought your tutors into our home. Thank you for all your help!
Our daughter, a first grader, struggled with basic reading and handwriting. When she began with SchoolTutoring she was almost a year behind her class. Within a year of being enrolled, she is reading above her grade level and has the confidence to match.

Chalk Talk: Teacher Tips for At Home
Teachers, generally, can keep a classroom of students busy at work, but a parent may feel intimidated by this when their own children challenge their sense of control. There are some things that teachers do that allow them to have this kind of control. Visual aids are a great way to help the behavior of a child. When a child's behavior is displayed, they can see if they are making progress toward a goal, usually some type of reward. A chart can help in this area. Another way to help with a parent-child relationship is to give positive feedback when they are acting in a way that is good. Whether this is homework, chores or other actions, make sure the child knows that their actions are good in the eyes of the parent. Helping a teacher in the classroom, or by volunteering in some other aspect of the school, is another way of showing a child that school is important and then by letting them know good behavior in school and at home are important.

I was the creative director and on-set director for lingerie brand Natori's social media campaign.
The goal was to attract a younger Millennial audience with short Instagram videos that appealed to their lifestyle and aesthetic while showcasing Natori's three top-selling styles (T-shirt, sports, and lace bras).
What resulted was the It's What's Underneath campaign, a concept based on the idea that Natori's bras provide the confidence their customers need to conquer their day, no matter what it has in store for them.

Re:Re: Top ten ways to get rid of unwanted women.
Monday, April 3rd
Ranma Saotome, you damn idiot. What the fucking hell are you thinking! When I suggested you get rid of your fiancées by getting pregnant I was JOKING! Your mother would kill both of us if I did what you want me to do. More to the point, she'd make you kill you, after cutting off my head! Or don't you remember that little contract you and your pops signed when you were six? Just in case, let me remind you, if you come back to her as anything less that what she calls a man among men, you are Dead Meat! Being a pregnant girl would definitely get you killed!
Alright, I'll admit that you really are desperate to get rid of the fiancée brigade. Why the hell didn't you just ask us to get you out of there? And don't you fucking dare try to follow through with that damned crack brained plan you mentioned. And just to remind you... seducing boys as Ranko, since there's no way in hell I'll get you pregnant for this, is NOT a good idea. If you do try it, I will personally kick your miserable ass up between your ears!
You damn well better meet me at the preventers branch office in downtown Tokyo as soon as you get out of school (4 pm right?) on Thursday. Go to the front desk and ask for Agent Maxwell, I'll be waiting for you. If you don't, I'll kidnap you straight out of the dojo, swear to God. And I'm damn sure 'Fei'll help me if the look on his face is anything to go by. Man, I've never seen him turn that color before, maybe I should call Sally… ;)
See you soon, and DON'T DO ANYTHING STUPID!
Don't do anything with out thinking it through. Meet us Thursday, or we WILL extract you from the dojo with out permission.
Ranma POV
Ok, I gotta admit this email doesn't make a lotta sense if you don't know some things. Like meeting Duo, Wufei, and the rest when they hid out in Nerima during the first war, and me being so damn sick of the fiancées Pops saddled me with and the shit from the rest of the Nerima Wrecking Crew that Mom's seppku contract was startin' to look pretty good in comparison.
Yup, sad to say, I Ranma Saotome was so sick of it all that I was ready to court the brother of sleep, death. The brother of sleep, heh, looking back it was rather funny, but at the time it was fuckin' miserable.
Just ta make my life more complicated, meeting Duo and the guys made me realize that I like both boys and girls. Talk about freakin' out. I just about crushed my balls and drowned the first time I realized I wasn't just thinkin' 'bout the private bits you find on girls while I was… relieving stress so to say. Course, I avoided Duo and the guys like the plague for a few days while going through all Pops girly mags till Duo knocked me out and tied me up away from the dojo so that I had to sit still to talk to him, but I did get used to it, eventually. Still, I made damn sure no one else found out. Especially Nabiki, since not only did I not want to give her anything ta blackmail me with, but I wanted ta keep my head right where it was.
But that was just the beginning.
To really understand where the email in question came from, you have ta realize that Duo and I kept in contact even after he and his buddies left Nerima once they'd blown up Oz's Tokyo base an' made sure nothin' could be sent to space from there. It'd been more'n a year an' a half since the guys left, there'd been another war, and the guys all worked for or with the Preventers, the only thing that I'd ever wanted to do besides run my own dojo. Akane had gotten even worse since I killed Saffron, hittin' me all the time, jealous and thinkin' every time I left the dojo, even to go ta school, I was meetin' up with Shampoo or Ukyo. I tell ya, I had the worst time not smackin' her back. Shampoo wouldn't leave me the hell alone, Kodachi came by tryin' ta poison or drug me at least two or three times a week, Ryouga and Mousse were both getting meaner, and Pops and Tendo-san were continually coming up with crack-brained schemes to get Akane and me hitched, and blaming me when Akane was a bitch.
As I'm sure you can guess, I was getting desperate. I even tried to tell mom that I liked guys so she would disown me after I refused to kill my self. I've never told Duo I went that far. He'd a had me locked up so fast… Anyway, she only heard what she wanted to, and decided that I was such a manly man because I was so interested in girls. I just about screamed.
In any case, that was about the time Duo sent me an email as a joke, Top Ten Ways To Get Rid of Unwanted Women. There were only three things I hadn't already tried, killing them, killing me, and one that I'm sure he made up especially for me, getting pregnant. Since two of the three were out of the question, I decided to try the third, getting pregnant. If I did that, no one could ignore me when I said I wasn't going to marry any of the girls because I preferred men.
Once I'd decided this was a good idea, I started thinking about who's kid I wanted to have. No, I wasn't totally rational at this point.
I decided that while Mousse was cute without the glasses, and Ryouga was sexy and had one of the best butts I'd ever seen, the only guys I trusted enough to let close enough ta get me pregnant were Duo, Heero, and Wufei. Quatre and Trowa were a couple so I took them out of consideration.
Of course with if Wufei agreed, I figured we'ed have to get Sally Po's permission and help to do it artificially if what Duo told me was true, but as far as I knew, Heero wasn't seeing anyone, and I knew Duo was currently single and bi. So I sent off this little plan to Duo in response to the email that sparked the idea.
He was not happy.
As it turned out, neither were Wufei or Heero. And so that's how I ended up here in Sank at the Preventer's main facility, applying to train as an agent.
I can see by the look on your face that you think I'm nuts. Yeah, well that's your problem. Though I gotta admit, I probably wouldn't believe me either if I hadn't lived through this crap. So I guess I'd better start at the beginning huh?
Where to start...
Hah! This whole mess started the day two new students joined my class at Furinken High School in Nerima. At first glance they both looked kinda young to be juniors, that is until I got a closer look at them. If you payed attention, their eyes looked much older than their faces, though the one with the braid hid it better than the Chinese boy…
AN: I'm still working on my other fic, but I came across this idea while checking files and decided to play with it a bit. It is meant to be a bit more humorous that Burning Bridges.

2 adults, 1 child injured in Route 4 crash
SANGAMON COUNTY, Ill. (WRSP/WICS) —
Three people are recovering Wednesday morning following a crash in rural Sangamon County.
Illinois State Police say it happened just after 5 p.m. Tuesday near the intersection of Illinois Route 4 and Alpha Road, just south of Chatham.
Troopers say a 65-year-old woman with a 4-year-old passenger was driving north when she drove off the right side of the road, overcorrected and crashed into an oncoming car driven by a 73-year-old woman.
All three were taken to the hospital. The 73-year-old woman is suffering from life-threatening injuries.
The 65-year-old woman is charged with a DUI, driving with a suspended license, improper lane usage, and failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident.

Ask Teri
Fashion reporter Teri Agins answers readers' questions
Q: I am tired of pencil skirts. I have a waistline and wide hips, and I look better in a gathered or pleated skirt. I am finally seeing skirted shirtwaist dresses in stores. What ideas can you give me?
— M.A., Chevy Chase, Md.
A: Unlike tight pencil skirts, the full-skirted silhouette is forgiving and flattering to many women—not to mention youthful. So why aren't full skirts more ubiquitous?
My theory: Straight dresses and pencil skirts are easier to manufacture and thus more profitable to sell. Just think: A shirtwaist dress needs to be fitted through the bustline and torso, often with an set-in waist, and is attached to a skirt that is probably gathered or pleated. Inexpensive versions always seem to be somewhat off. Some are too short-waisted. Others lack a fitted bodice.
Yet this spring, apparel makers seem to be offering more shirtwaist variations. I've spotted versions online from Anthropologie, Jones New York, Michael Kors and Ann Taylor, for instance.
Beware of the too-full skirt, with so much gathered fabric that you look like a wide lampshade. Narrower, twist-front shirt dresses or those with gored, bias-cut panels won't do that. The fuller the skirt, the more important it is that the dress is made of a crisp, sturdy fabric such as silk or rayon faille. Portrait or scoop necklines and short sleeves look very pretty against this hourglass silhouette.
You can go retro (à la TV mom June Cleaver) by wearing a light crinoline petticoat that makes the skirt bell out gently across the bottom. You don't need stilettos: A tapered medium-height heel in a neutral shade will look light on your feet, as will low-slung ballet flats.

VOLLURE™XC first and only to smooth lines around nose and mouth with results up to 18 months
DALLAS, TX--(Marketwired - April 12, 2017) - Dr. Lori Stetler and Dr. Kristel Polder, of Dallas Center for Dermatology and Aesthetics, are the first doctors in Dallas to perform JUVÉDERM VOLLURE™ XC, the first and only FDA-approved volumizing filler to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds with results through 18 months. (1,2) The facial filler is designed to create a smoother appearance around the nose and mouth.
VOLLURE is a smooth gel formulation made up of a modified form of hyaluronic acid -- a sugar that is naturally found within the skin. While VOLLURE has been used in other countries, the recent FDA approval makes it the first hyaluronic acid dermal filler of its kind available in the U.S.
"As we age, our skin loses elasticity. The lines and folds around the nose and mouth, known as nasolabial folds, become more prominent," says Dr. Stetler, certified national trainer for Allergan. "Vollure is a longer lasting solution we can now offer to our patients to soften their troublesome 'parentheses' or laugh lines."
Approved to last up to 18 months, VOLLURE is currently available with lidocaine integrated into the filler for a more comfortable procedure. In clinical studies, at six months after treatment, 82% of patients reported improvement in satisfaction of the treated area. (3)
"Vollure integrates into the skin for a natural, beautiful lift and contour," adds Dr. Polder. "This new facial filler helps us advance the number one dermal treatment area with longer lasting results than similar fillers on the market."
Only a select group of dermatologists currently have access to VOLLURE, with a more expanded launch to follow in the coming weeks. VOLLURE, marketed as part of Allergan's JUVÉDERM line, is a soft, smooth gel appropriate for softening the appearance of nasolabial folds.
About the Dallas Center for Dermatology and Aesthetics
The Dallas Center for Dermatology and Aesthetics, founded in 1991, is located in the Park Cities area of the metropolitan community. Dr. Lori Stetler and Dr. Kristel Polder are board-certified dermatologists and skin care experts specializing in general medical and cosmetic dermatology, laser procedures, facial rejuvenation, injectables, and non-surgical body contouring.

DAVIE, Fla. — It's only Week 4 and the Miami Dolphins have an astounding 16 players on their injury report.
Four-time Pro Bowl running back Arian Foster is out for Thursday night's game against the Cincinnati Bengals with a groin injury, and Pro Bowl center Mike Pouncey hasn't played all season after hurting his left hip in the summer. Even backup center Anthony Steen (ankle) is doubtful, meaning Miami likely will start third-string center Kraig Urbik.
The passing game is limited with starting tight end Jordan Cameron out with a concussion, and receivers Jarvis Landry (shoulder) and DeVante Parker (hamstring) are both playing through ailments.
With so many injuries and uncertainty, the time is now for Dolphins starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill to be a difference maker.
Franchise quarterbacks often find a way to elevate their team through hardship. Tannehill has a chance to make that kind of statement in a nationally televised game against the Bengals (1-2), who have made the playoffs in five consecutive seasons.
"It's a big game for us," said Tannehill, who is 2-0 against the Bengals in his career. "Where we're at in the season, we're in the fourth game, being 1-2 on the road for 'Thursday Night Football.' It's a big stage, and it's going to be a fun game. It's going to be a fun atmosphere."
Ryan Tannehill(Ryan Tannehill Jersey) is 30-37 as a starter and can no longer be a spoke in the wheel. His $96 million contract is the second-highest behind defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh ($100 million) and dictates that Tannehill develops into the engine that drives the Dolphins. Miami also is financially tied to Tannehill through at least next year because it committed $45 million in guarantees during the first three seasons (2015-17) of his contract extension.
Dolphins rookie head coach Adam Gase has a proven track record with quarterbacks and has full confidence Tannehill will reach his potential under his system. The early results have been mixed through three games.
Tannehill has an 88.8 passer rating, which is 17th in the NFL, and has thrown for 892 yards, five touchdowns and four interceptions. Miami's offense has scored just one touchdown in the first half, is converting on just 29.4 percent of third downs and is getting drilled in average time of possession (34:57 to 25:03).
Not everything can be pinned on the quarterback, and there are a variety of reasons for Miami's offensive struggles. The aforementioned injuries are a factor, and there are poor details — such as missed assignments and bad route depth by receivers — that need to be cleaned up as the team goes through the growing pains of learning a new system.
"I think everything will start coming together as far as hooking up with the wideouts and tight ends and running backs, everybody being on the same page," an optimistic Gase said. "It's kind of like that first year of an offense where you have these minor glitches that are critical to get them fixed fast, because it can cost you a game."
Tannehill's biggest asset to date is his toughness.
According to ESPN Stats and Information, no quarterback has been sacked more times than Tannehill (190) since the start of the 2012 season. Tannehill also is the third-most-hit (387) quarterback in that span. Yet, Tannehill has never missed a start and will play in his 68th consecutive game for Miami on Thursday night.
But toughness can only take Tannehill so far. At some point the Dolphins quarterback must carry and uplift the franchise through tough stretches like this one in order to get the team where it wants to be.

A few weeks before heading to Sturgis each year, I start getting that exciting tingle in my stomach, which is an indication that it's time to ride north. With the intense summer heat and drought we've had this year, I assumed this year's trip was going to be one of our hottest yet; however, we was pleasantly surprised when the heat broke just a couple days before our trip.

Year 4 Work and Activities
Icy Kingdoms
This term we will step into the world of an Arctic Explorer and begin to study some of the most intriguing Icy Kingdoms on Earth. After beginning by preparing for a mission into the Arctic, we will then explore who visits such places, and the things they find out whilst they are there. It's sure to be a bumpy ride, and we must make sure that we are properly equipped for the tough conditions that we know we will find when we arrive!
Our art work will then take us on an expedition to find an Inuit artist, and learn about the skills needed to create stimulating and engaging art work that is a true representation of what life would be like to live in such a harsh environment.
Delving into our topic further, we will then become scientists, exploring how particles make up the different states of matter (solids, liquids and gases) and how they can alter due to changes in temperature. We will then consider how this may affect the polar regions. A closer look at the position of the Polar Regions will help us to understand why the climate is so cold, and we will research the temperatures of different locations. We sometimes think the UK is cold, but we quickly learn that things can get much, much colder!
Taking a step back, and looking from a distance, concerns then begin to grow as we identify that all is not well in the Polar Regions. Something is threatening the lives of the animals and plants that live there. Will we be able to find out what? And will we be able to identify what we need to do to stop these changes from happening?
Click here to read what we do in each subject as part of our topic from the spring term.

Here a Cape Town event that we from Cape Town Active really support – the Pick n Pay Woman's Walk 2013.
Pick n Pay Women's Walk raises funds for cancer prevention and early detection.
The Pick n Pay Women's Walk will take place in Cape Town at the Durbanville Racecourse.
The 5km walk takes place on 16 March, so make sure you book your place to enjoy a morning out with family and friends to raise funds for the PinkDrive.
The Pick n Pay Women's Walk – which has been held at venues around the country with thousands of walkers taking part – serves to raise funds to support free cancer screening and health advice in local communities.
Bronwen Rohland Director of Marketing and Sustainability said: "The PinkDrive Mammography Truck is an important part of our Corporate Social Responsibility programme; it enables women in remote and disadvantaged areas to receive mammograms, an important weapon in breast cancer detection." The PinkDrive Educational Truck will also be present on the day to provide free cancer screening and health related information.
It costs R35 for adults and R20 for children younger than 18 to join the walk. You can enter at Pick n Pay Canal Walk, Pick n Pay Durbanville, Pick n Pay Brackenfell Hyper and Pick n Pay Cape Gate. You can also enter online at www.picknpay.co.za. Walkers can collect their event packs, filled with goodies on 14 and 15 March at Pick n Pay Canal Walk between 10am and 6pm. The walk starts at 9.00am at Durbanville Racecourse
"The Women's Walk is a chance to raise money for vital health services to women and men who are affected by breast cancer, and forms an important part of our social responsibility drive. It will also add to the merriment of the festival this year, which will be bigger and better than ever before, said Rohland.
The walks mark Pick n Pay's continued hands-on involvement in all aspects of the community, and fits in with its belief that doing good is good business.
All participants will receive a medal and a Pick n Pay goodie bag at the finish.

In an ideal world, all plastics would be engineered with sustainability in mind — at least that's the research philosophy of WID scientist Srikanth Pilla.
He and Lih-Sheng 'Tom' Turng at the WID BIONATES research area are working to find new ways to engineer plastics and extend the life of heavily used products such as beverage bottles and plastic shipping materials.
Looking to enhance the recycling process, the UW System Solid Waste Research Program awarded Pilla and Turng $30,000 to engineer alternative plastics with longer recycling lifespans. Recent data show Wisconsin recycling more than 35,000 tons of plastic every year, according to the state Department of Natural Resources.
Petroleum-based plastics — think of a water bottle, for example — begin to break down after as few as two to three recycling cycles. The same high-heat recycling process that injects new life into plastics also ends up shortening the number of times the products can be recycled. Once the integrity of plastics becomes compromised, the products often need to be discarded in landfills, where they take hundreds of years to break down naturally. But the research aims to find a way to renew qualities lost during the recycling process as well.
"The key is to not only extend the life of plastics, but we're looking to use a liquid, during reprocessing, to restore the properties that would have been lost otherwise," Pilla explains.
Researchers combine liquid-like gases called "supercritical fluids," such as nitrogen gas or carbon dioxide, with polymers and special additives to create and modify plastics. These different formulations combined with unique gas-assisted or foaming technology usually dictate the strength and recycling lifespan of plastics. Pilla says the group's version of this "fluid" allows plastics to be melted at lower temperatures during recycling, which helps recycled plastics maintain their sturdiness and ability to be processed multiple times. The group believes the technique could boost the life of plastics from two or three recycling cycles to five to seven instead.
Drawing on the work of Turng, who's also a faculty member at the UW Department of Mechanical Engineering, the research relies on integrating the supercritical fluid through injection molding techniques, which mass produce plastic parts in a sustainable fashion that saves materials and energy.
The group will continue to work on the technique and present its results to the Solid Waste Research Program before fall 2013. Pilla says future research will also look at ways to combine recycled plastics with bioplastics to make an array of environmentally friendly materials with lower carbon footprints.

BSOD on entirely new custom build in high-usage scenarios
Note that 'high-usage' mostly just means Skyrim right now, because I just got it and haven't done much else with the machine. It doesn't happen every time - it's happened twice. Once, I can ignore, twice not so much. The first time it happened I *did not* have the video card listed, it was on-board graphics (which could reasonably have been the issue). I unfortunately know more Linux than Windows at this point and have no idea how to work with the dump file, but feel free to tech-speak to me all you want.
Thanks a bunch in advance for your help. I've seen you work magic as I passed through in Googling.

Nothing's overclocked, I'm too lazy. :)
Before I run these tests, is it possible it's the PSU? (No one wants to find that out the hard way). I have concerns with its ability to run things at this point. 460W should be enough - I checked specs of hardware as well as a power supply calculator.
Restarting now to run memtest, as I know that won't stress the PSU too much if that is the issue.
PS. Also, I love your FSM.

The CPU isn't even making it through about 5-10 seconds of a "standard" run on the IntelBurn Test before reaching top operating temp (72.72*C). Do you have any recommendations on improving cooling without breaking the bank, or a good place to get started?
Thanks again!

You need to remove the CPU cooler, clean off the old thermal paste from both the cooler and CPU with an alchohol rub, then apply new thermal paste and reseat the cooler.

This happened within a week of first putting this machine together. It also came pre-set with thermal paste. Is it likely that the thermal paste needs to be reset, or should I skip to buying a new fan - it is the stock fan, after all.

If you replaced the fan, you would need to clean off old thermal paste and reapply it anyway.

This young man from Russia was born with a condition that left him completely debilitated. Feeling hopeless and alone, the internet became his only connection with the outside world. Amazingly, he soon found his love online, 3,000 km away.
When Grigory Prutov was born to his parents in Vladivostok, Russia, he seemed every bit a healthy baby. He did however occasionally wake up with back pains. Later on, things took an unfortunate turn for the worse, as he was diagnosed with muscular atrophy, which caused his spine muscles to deteriorate completely. He soon required 24-hour care, and was not expected to live past 4 or 5 years. His parents however refused to give up on their son, and sought in vain for a cure.

MOSCOW — Suicide bombers struck two stations in Moscow's crowded subway system less than an hour apart Monday morning, killing at least 37 people, injuring 73 and bringing Russia's seething northern Caucasus region to the Kremlin's doorstep.
Viktor Ilyukhin, the deputy chair of the security committee in State Duma, the lower house of Russia's parliament, said the attacks almost certainly were the result of deteriorating security conditions in Russia's mainly Muslim southern flank where a growing extremist insurgency has been spreading, largely below the world's radar screen, for the past couple of years.
"The terrorists are aiming at destabilization, their goal is to frighten the population," said Ilyukhin. "They also want to take revenge for the actions of the security forces against them, for the arrests and liquidations of their leaders," in the north Caucasus region, which includes the turbulent republics of Dagestan, Chechnya and Ingushetia, he said.
The first bomb, equivalent to about four kilograms (8.8 pounds) of TNT, exploded at the height of morning rush hour and killed at least 25 people inside a train that had just pulled into the Lubyanka station, which is a two-minute walk from Red Square and located beside the headquarters of Russia's FSB security service, the former KGB.
The second, smaller explosion, 45 minutes later on the same line, hit a train at Park Kultury, just across the street from a huge complex that houses the Kremlin news agency RIA-Novosti and the state-run English-language satellite network Russia Today.
An FSB spokesperson told journalists that, "According to preliminary information, both blasts were carried out by female suicide bombers" who brought explosives onto crowded metro cars and set them off in what appears to have been a carefully planned and coordinated series of attacks.
"There is no mistaking the symbolism of the targets; first the security services, and then the main center of state journalism," said Alexei Mukhin, the director of the independent Center for Political Information in Moscow, whose office is at Park Kultury. "The people who ordered these attacks were acting on a carefully thought-out plan."
President Dmitri Medvedev pledged to step up security in the Russian capital and to expand the security crackdown in the turbulent north Caucasus, which is the almost certain source of the threat.
"We will continue the operation against terrorists without hesitation and to the end," Medvedev said in televised remarks after the tragedy. "It is difficult to prevent such terrorist attacks and to provide security on transport," such as Moscow's sprawling and overcrowded metro system, he said.
"It is necessary to tighten what we do, to look at the problem on a national scale, not only relating to a certain populated area but on a national scale. Obviously, what we have done before is not enough," he added.
Security experts offered cautious praise for Russian authorities who appear to have avoided mass panic with a quick and competent response that contrasts sharply with clumsy reactions to previous terrorist strikes in downtown Moscow early in the past decade.
Police quickly cordoned off the areas, and thousands of shaken and frightened survivors were evacuated from the stations, which are among the deepest in the city, in an orderly fashion, and helicopters were brought into the paralyzed city center to extricate the wounded.
Violence in the north Caucasus has been spiking in recent weeks, including half a dozen bombings in Dagestan this month and two attacks by Ingush insurgents against local officials, most of which is scarcely reported, even in the Russian media.
Some experts suggest that the Moscow attacks might have been revenge for a security crackdown by Russian forces in the north Caucasus, which officials say has resulted in the killings of at least 35 leaders of extremist groups in Dagestan and Ingushetia this year.
"Things have been growing worse in the north Caucasus lately, but this is really the continuation of a threat we've been experiencing for the past 11 years," said Yulia Latynina, an investigative journalist who follows security issues. "Russia is the target of the international jihadist movement, but our state is less able to cope than many other countries."
Latynina said the female suicide bombers, who call themselves shakhidy, or martyrs, but have been dubbed "black widows" by Russian security forces, are an increasingly favorite tool of the insurgents. "By nationality, these shakhidy can be anything, even Russians," she said. "But by ideology they are Wahabi (Sunni Muslim extremists), and they are not a new threat to be seen in Moscow."
Moscow was the scene of a wave of terrorist attacks soon after Russian troops invaded the separatist republic of Chechnya for the second time a decade ago. A still unsolved wave of apartment bombings in the autumn of 1999 killed almost 300 people.
In subsequent years, more than 1,000 Russians died in terrorist strikes, including a siege of a downtown Moscow theater in 2002 and a series of bombings in Moscow markets, metro stations, and airliners.
However, after Russian troops pacified rebel Chechnya, the Kremlin declared victory, and a five-year hiatus in terrorist attacks against Russia's heartland appeared to confirm the efficacy of then-President Vladimir Putin's tough measures.
The bombing of a luxury train, crowded with officials, between Moscow and St. Petersburg last November, however, had many experts warning that terrorists might once again be eyeing civilian targets in Russia's heartland and developing new tactics.
"Bandit underground activity is still on, so they wanted to prove once more that they still exist and they are active," said Sergei Goncharov, the head of a special forces veterans' group. "This surely comes from the north Caucasus, which is a wound for Russia that cannot be healed."

Girl Rising
Girl Rising
The Story
Worldwide, 62 million girls continue to be denied access to an education. But for many Americans, this problem doesn't seem as urgent as some domestic issues, so personalizing the issue was key. We partnered with Girl Rising to create #62MillionGirls in support of the Let Girls Learn initiative launched by First Lady Michelle Obama. We invited people to post a yearbook-style photo of themselves on Instagram or Twitter with a personal message about what they learned in school. Having people see en masse that what they took for granted was being denied to #62MillionGirls opened eyes and rallied support.
The Impact
Soon after Mrs. Obama announced the #62MillionGirls campaign at the 2015 Global Citizen Festival, the hashtag shot to the top of the class, thousands (including celebrities from Big Bird to Beyonce) shared their stories, and media coverage spanned from CNN to MTV.
