India chooses optics over outcomes when dealing with Pakistan
The government's Pakistan policy seems to be based on whims and is devoid of a real frameworkanalysis Updated: Mar 31, 2016 16:00 IST
The Modi government has recently warmly welcomed and rolled out the red carpet for a Joint Investigation Team (JIT) from Pakistan to come and investigate the Pathankot airbase attacks. On the subject of export of terror to India, India has always maintained that there is no distinction between the activities of State and non-State actors in Pakistan and the latter are only used as a proxy by the Pakistani establishment (mainly the army and ISI) to further its agenda of targeting India. Now, by callously inviting the Pakistani JIT to India, the government has played right into the hands of the Pakistani establishment, which conveniently offers "non-State actors" as an excuse for its export of terrorism to India. Past Indian governments have worked extremely hard and had succeeded in pushing Pakistan into a corner, by diplomatically asserting that the Pakistani State is an active abettor of terror rather than purely victim to it. The recent actions of the Modi government have washed away years of this effort and effectively dismantled the box that Pakistan was caged in; the invite to the Pakistani JIT, which includes an ISI member, is tantamount to giving it a clean chit on terror incidents.

What is even more damning is that India is yet to get a Letter Rogatory (LR) — a request from a court to share evidence to help investigations — from Pakistan. In the absence of this letter, any evidence collected by the JIT could easily be challenged in a court of law and may not even enjoy judicial admissibility in Pakistan. So, while India may hand over conclusive proof of Maulana Masood Azhar's and the JeM's involvement in the Pathankot attack to the JIT, it may be de-linked from the judicial process against them in Pakistan, effectively beating the entire purpose of the said investigation. The Indian government has claimed to have received assurances from the Pakistani authorities about the non-requirement of the LR, but by accepting Pakistan's explanation, India is being absolutely careless and not according the technicalities of another country's judicial procedures the seriousness they deserve. This episode is but one example of the Modi government's dismal policy vis-à-vis Pakistan, which has been marked by the absence of farsightedness, complete non-transparency and flip-flops.
Cross-border infiltration and terrorism have an unfortunate pattern of rearing their ugly heads whenever any high octane engagement is undertaken by India and Pakistan — the Lahore declaration under the earlier BJP government was followed by the Kargil War and PM Narendra Modi's stopover in Lahore to attend PM Nawaz Sharif's birthday and his granddaughter's wedding resulted in Pathankot. This government has conveniently chosen to emphasise optics over outcomes when it comes to its Pakistan policy. There is absolutely no framework for engagement with Pakistan and decisions seem to be made spontaneously and on a whim. Pakistan is yet another example of the BJP's post-election U-turns and its penchant for managing headlines over managing policy. The same Modi who, before the elections, used to talk about showing "red eyes" and loudly condemned writing "love letters" to Pakistan, has today adopted the "pappi-jhappi" doctrine to win over Sharif. Sushma Swaraj, then leader of the Opposition and now external affairs minister, who used to forcefully demand suspension of talks with Pakistan until their "aatankvaad ke thikaane" were destroyed, now refers to the Indian PM's surprise visit to Pakistan as "statesman-like", tweeting "Padosi se aise hi rishte hone chahiyen".
Read | Pakistan must not keep testing India's patience
Even after coming to power, the U-turns and flip-flops haven't ceased. The main conspirators of the Mumbai attacks have not been brought to justice, Pakistani diplomats have not stopped meeting the Hurriyat leaders, there have been close to a 1,000 ceasefire violations since the government took office and there have been repeated terror strikes in Jammu and Punjab — killing three in Kathua (March 2015), seven in Gurdaspur (July 2015), seven in Pathankot (January 2016) and five in Pampore (February 2016). What is the BJP's, and more importantly the government's, position on Pakistan? Is it "talks and terror can't go together" or "the two countries will talk only if they have to discuss terror and not Kashmir" or "the perpetrators of 26/11 and Pathankot should be brought to justice before we talk" or "any third party involvement with the Hurriyat is where we draw the red line"? Alternatively, is Modi's Pakistan policy based on exchanging saris and shawls with the Pakistan PM, and visiting Pakistan to wish him on his birthday and attend his granddaughter's wedding? The country needs to know, the Opposition needs to know and perhaps, most importantly, ministers in the government need to know.
India needs to negotiate from a position of strength — that means we must decide not just when and where we talk to Pakistan, but also what we talk about. The Congress has always advocated peaceful, but results-oriented, negotiations to settle all disputes with Pakistan and dealt with the situation skilfully and sensitively when in power. It made sure Parliament and the Opposition were always taken into confidence and the media periodically briefed through a single channel of communication. Now what we have is absolute mayhem and confusion — even the senior-most ministers of the government are unaware of the PM's visit to Pakistan, the visit of the Pakistani JIT and whether or not the JIT will be provided access to the Pathankot airbase. The desire for media attention and personal glory seems to have superseded national interest to yield foreign policy that is directionless, toothless and ineffective.

About your wedding photographer, Simon Murray
Simon Murray was born in Perth, Scotland and through a love of photography that started over 20 years ago, Simon has developed his passion into a style that evokes a sense of openness and fun from his subjects.
People in front of his lens, genuinely have a good time, in fact Simon calls it therapy, not sure if that's for him or the sitter.
His style allows freedom of movement and inspiration and Simon can be seen photographing a wide range of subjects, but mostly people, whether that be in fashion, music or the arts where I have worked with individuals from models, actors and presenters to large companies such as BT, Armani, The Scotsman and Vidal Sassoon.

Learn about Wor Wic Community College registered nurses, registering in a technical training program, and taking free tests online. Nursing is one of the fastest-growing job areas, and for good reason. As the population ages, medical care will continue to expand. If you study nursing, for example, there are a variety of concentrations that may appeal to you such as nursing assistant jobs, laboratory internships, or vocational rehabilitation. Check with the nursing department for an updated schedule of classes, registration deadlines, and a list of registered nurse requirements. Due to advances in health care, there is a growing skill-shortage of licensed registered nurses, and of qualified medical personnel in general. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Wor Wic Community College.
To become a Registered Nurse (RN), you will be required to take courses in medical terminology, patient care and life sciences. Although associate degree programs provide students with adequate nursing training, a bachelor's degree provides greater clinical exposure and a stronger general education. A 4-year BSN program allows students to study specialized areas of nursing, including pediatrics, geriatrics and mental health nursing. Nursing job openings are projected to grow 16 percent over the coming decade, much faster than the average for all occupations. The average salary for nurses with an Associates degree was $43,700 in 2015, while nurses with a Bachelors degree earned $67,490 per year.
Certification requirements include board certification by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) and the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP). The license period varies by individual state, but is usually valid for either two or three years, at which time you'll need to renew. To keep your license current, you must take continuing education courses, and renew your license every few years. There are a fixed number of credits that each state requires, and if you work in a hospital facility, these courses may be offered on-site.

What Lubrication Should Be Used On My Garage Door?
When it comes to garage door lubrication, not all products are equally effective. While some sources advise using a light machine oil, oily substances can attract dirt and debris, causing parts to function below peak. White lithium grease is a durable, non-staining, spray-on lubricant that effectively reduces friction between both similar and dissimilar materials. It does not run, freeze gum up, or cake. Another good option is silicone-based spray lubricant. WD-40 actually functions to clean, not lubricate, parts. It should be noted that no lubricant is recommended for plastic parts or for garage door tracks.

Innovation and the Familiar
In 1996, The Sixth Sense was released to much critical and popular acclaim. A child is able to see dead people and his therapist, played by Bruce Willis, (spoiler alert) turns out to be dead at the end. This twist makes you see Bruce's character in a new way. It takes the familiar character and makes you see him in a novel way. You play back the movie in your head, and suddenly the whole movie is seen in a new way.
Part of what makes all great work qualify for the category, is that it makes you see something in a new way. Think of all the best films, advertising, art, books, photography… think of the best technology and apps and designed experiences. They make you see something in a new way. Said differently, part of innovation is making the familiar novel, or creating some sort of familiarity in the novelty of new. Let's talk through some new and classic examples.
The recent success of documentaries such as Food Inc or Fed Up are making us see food consumption and production in a different way. A great photograph can show you a relationship in a new way, or a situation across the world in a familiar way with a novel twist. I find recent developments in technology, from Oculus/VR to SnapChat, are all trying to make something incredibly novel and different, based on an insight about something familiar. VR is obviously trying to take the experience of being somewhere, a fundamental concept, and make it feel new. SnapChat takes the way we have conversations in life and mimics the experience in a new way: fleeting moments of who we are, shared with friends. The best ones you want to write down or remember in some way. Not ever-documentable.
Innovations that are entirely novel don't do well. They're too foreign. And technology that is the same as another experience isn't innovation at all. It's when a piece of work shows me something in a new way, turns the familiar into novelty or makes something novel parallel to something familiar, that the work is truly great. Not always, but with some great work, we learn something new, see something in a new way… and suddenly our world changes. All because of a film, an app, an experience. Let's go make that kind of work.

Every time Karen Lee Brandt flags down a car, another man unknowingly risks death.
Brandt, 22, is a convicted prostitute infected with HIV, the AIDS-causing virus. She has told police she does not use protection or warn her customers that they could contract AIDS.
The system is stumped as to how to stop her -- and keep her from possibly infecting not only the men who buy her services, but also their wives, girlfriends and future children.
Police have locked up Brandt six times, but she never stays in jail for more than two months.
When she gets out, police say, she goes back to work on Federal Highway in Hollywood. That`s where she was arrested two weeks ago on charges of loitering for the purpose of prostitution.
``Her attitude is, `Hey, I`ve got to make a living.` She doesn`t really give a damn,`` said Lt. Don Korn, head of Hollywood`s street-crime unit. ``The court system is doing everything we can, but we`re limited by the laws.``
The problem goes far beyond Brandt.
Several hundred prostitutes -- male and female -- work Broward County`s street corners. Police guess that one-third to one-half of them carry the human immunodeficiency virus.
Court officials acknowledge they cannot keep infected hookers off the street for long. The maximum sentence for prostitution is 60 days; few stay in longer than a week or two.
Prostitutes who work the streets knowing they are infected can be sentenced to a year in jail, but that has happened only once in Broward. That is partly because officials do not know which hookers carry the AIDS virus, said John Countryman, an assistant state attorney in charge of misdemeanor crimes.

19 Oct Hit Is Coming Back In The Tournament of Power?
Whis said- Hit can hide in a separate space he has created, by storing time he's skipped, in the real world he leaves a phantom of himself.
In Dragon Ball Super Episode 111, Hit got eliminated by Jiren.
Hit is the no.1 asset of Universe 6, most probably the strongest, the 2 new Namekians doesn't look all that powerful. Without Hit I don't think Universe 6 stands a chance at winning the battle, at all. Cabe and Caulifla are just Super Saiyan Level even if they improve during the tournament they can only get a little bit stronger. Kale might turn out to be a real threat, but still not good enough to win it.
With only half the tournament, Universe 6 the most loved Universe is already out of the equation? That's kind of unsettling.
Also, one of the lead Dragon Ball Super writers Toshio back in July stated that he was waiting for the Hit vs Vegeta rematch and that he is excited, and Dragon Ball Super was on Episode 99 or 100 so yeah during the tournament of power. He is also the same guy, who hinted a lot of stuff previously, and it turned out to be accurate. Like, Super Saiyan God Goku. His recent tweet says he is writing Episode 112 and 115. He is a Vegeta fan, and often leads Vegeta centric episodes. I wonder if 115 might have something to do with Hit.
In a matter of fact, everything about Hit's elimination looked weird. The fact that Jiren overpowered him was not weird; the problem is not with the fact that Jiren eliminated Hit either.
It's just with how it happened, and the aftermath.
Hit getting eliminated basically makes Universe 6 worthless, and goes against some of the plots that were hinted, and we were expecting to see.
What if Hit actually did not get eliminated?
And we are up for the biggest shock ever. A Master Plan so good that will baffle everyone.
If you look at Hit's apparent elimination, it wasn't done like they do it for a major character. Hit thrown flying away from the stage, while still being conscious and not finding a way to stay in was unsettling. Afterward, Zeno didn't press the button on GodApp that he presses when someone gets eliminated, granted it was not shown every time someone got eliminated, you still would think they would show it when it came to Hit, because Hitman Hit is like the no.1 important character of Universe 6. That could be overlooked, but it adds up to Hit getting thrown away, getting enough time to do something but not doing it, and overall underplay of what's supposed to be his elimination. Maybe they did it like that, because they knew it's not his real elimination, and that he will be back.
According to this theory, the one we saw get eliminated is not actually Hit but a clone or phantom of Hit, and that Hit is actually still in the stage.
During his fight vs Jiren, Hit used TimeSkip over and over again, and the reasoning he gave was that he did it to memorize Hit's attack pattern and timing with his body movement, but what if that allowed him to also store a lot of time which he could later use. Again, just like Whis said, Hit can hide in a separate space he has created, by storing time he's skipped, in the real world he leaves a phantom of himself.
And Hit repeatedly used TimeSkip on Jiren, like he never did before with anyone else. Maybe the alternative plan was storing time so he could hide, leaving behind his phantom if it came down to it.
After Jiren broke out of Hit's time cage they could have shown a clear elimination, with Jiren pushing Hit right out of the stage, or totally knocking him unconscious and then throwing him out clearly, but instead it they did it in a way that leaves an opportunity of raising questions.
There were some moments after the blast exploded on Hit, and we saw Hit falling off the stage, and it did look the rhythm was missing, the scene looked kind of forced.
In the world of fiction, when they kill a major character and have plans of bringing them back, they leave holes like this which they later use for the shock. In this case, we do have that hole.
After ki blast of Jiren hit, hit. Jiren was not paying attention; the smoke or intense light from the explosion blocked our view. Now, we don't know what happened between the time the blast contacted him and the time we saw him again on screen falling off while screaming. By the way, this is not the first time Hit is going to fake defeat, in a matter of fact him pretending to lose to Monaka could as well have been foreshadowing this in a fun way.
Now, let's take a look at something that looks kind of wrong or inconsistent with the last shot Jiren took against Hit.
Firstly, when they cut back to Hit, it looked like he was going out from a comparatively lower point than the attack was supposed to send him towards. Look at how Kale's body reacts to the attack. Now this brings us to another point, the thing is fighter like Hit and Goku are really talented. When they see an attack getting used in front of them, they mentally start breaking it down and preparing it for. The Funny thing is Jiren is used the absolute exact same attack against Hit, as he used against Kale. It gets even better because, Hit was standing right in front of him, observing Jiren use an one shot attack to take down one of his teammates. You can't tell me, Hit didn't breakdown that attack given he was paying full attention. Even Kale was not eliminated by it.
Now, there's a lot Hit could have realized from that, he knew this was one of Jiren's finishing touch attack, and also facts like Jiren turns back once the attack connects his target, closes his eyes and for a moment stops paying attention out of overconfidence.
Phantom Hit was saying to Champa the moment he failed to take him down with a single strike his loss was confirmed. What if just when Hit realized time cage won't work, he instantly decided to hide, but unless he faked getting eliminated, Jiren would search and find him.
Now, suddenly Hit remembers about that Jiren's finisher attack and lures Jiren into using that, now Hit observed the attack standing right in front of Jiren, the first time they kind of checked out each other, and was interfered by Goku. Anyways, turns out that first introduction meeting was resourceful, now Hit knew exactly when Jiren's attention is lost, and also the fact this attack would create a distance and immense light from the explosion distracting everyone so he could instantly Hide in the stored time, and leave a phantom to fall out of the stage.
There's one more freakin interesting observation, now like I said before it was already unsettling that Hit was falling out while still being conscious and he should have been able to somehow to at least force himself back to the stage. When tough fighters like him get eliminated they either have to go unconscious or something like what happened to Goku should be happening to them, but in this case he still had consciousness.
Apart from that, the real deal actually, if the ki blast was so powerful that you are ought to not have any control over your body. You are just supposed to fall out of the stage just as you are, usually on your back, because remember if Hit has control over his body he should be able to prevent that, but if you go slow mo, we see something interesting at the very last moment just before crossing the stage line Hit flips, Hit turns his body around in a way that he got control back. If you look back at some of the other eliminations where a fighter was overpowered with a ki shot they go flying right off the stage. Here, you can see the Cell looking guy falling out, then these 2 Universe 9 warriors, jium the green bird, Majora… None of them turned on their own while falling. Now we do not know exactly when Hit went into hiding, it could be when the blast took place or at this point just before he supposedly fell of the stage, when he's going down there's actually a dark spot where even when with slow mo couldn't see what was happening, and that is above the stage level. He might have used his cleverest technique right then. The main point is Either then or after the blast, Hit could have easily used time skip left behind a phantom while hiding himself within the bounds of stage.
Okay, now moving on to some other aspects, The Great Priest announcing Hit dropped out, while The Great Priest is supposed to have heightened sense, him as well as other angels are seemingly having a hard time keeping up with what some of these exceptional mortals are doing. The Great Priest basically also took it for granted that Goku was vaporized and thus eliminated, he was even going on to explain why Jiren wouldn't be responsible for it. So, this incident makes it clear that even The Great Priest might not detect some of the mortal activities and do not know absolutely what exactly is going on.
Conveniently enough just after that incident the tournament reached the half way mark, when The Great Priest announces that and adds a dramatic green effect. I wonder if The Zenos forgot about pushing hIt's button due to that, and this might be one thing that went in the favor of Hit's luck.
Imagine how badass, it would be if Hit returned at the end game stage of the tournament, just when all Universe 6 fighters are gone he appears and makes everything clear. I guess even if Zeno pushed that button, if Hit were to reappear in the stage, while his clone disappeared, i guess The Great Priest would announce his return and he would be taken of the elimination list since it's legit technique allowed by the rule. Also notice one line Hit said to Jiren while using timeskip, " It's my job. You'll be joining me to the end. " So it's possible that Hit always had the idea of dragging the fight till the very end of the tournament, maybe that's what he meant. Maybe Hit had this entire thing planned to be taken to the last minutes!
Now there's 2 legit arguments against this, that is Hit's clone is not supposed to be able to talk or Glow, but firstly Hit always used the technique while in combat situations. Maybe he can create a clone that talks much like that of Tien's, and he can control it but only for non-combat purpose. Maybe because he does not have to deal with attacking and defending he can fully concentrate on that. Back on the Goku vs Hit encounter on Earth, even though it's not clear, on some moments it looked like Hit was able to talk while only presenting his phantom or glowing after coming in contact. Although, I'm not sure about that!
Anyways, the point is, for it to align with the theory this is either a cloning technique Hit always knew or one that he recently developed, because fighters like Hit are about constantly improving.
In that encounter, Vados explained that Hit stores up the time he skips and is able to use this to move around in pocket dimensions to appear in multiple places at once. Here in this theory, his original self is hiding on the stage, while the clone is for deceiving us and he actually controls his phantom like it's him
And Hit is really good at hiding his presence, even on Earth Goku wasn't able to detect for most of the fight despite knowing he was there. You can see how he walks right into the building, and goes right up to the boss without anyone able to see or trace a single thing.
Well, that's about all for the theory part.
Now, guys do understand that just because I am covering this theory, doesn't mean this is a prediction I am betting on.
In fact, I am quite aware that this is highly unlikely to happen, I would say there's only a 5% chance of this happening maybe. So don't be coming back and say how it didn't go like, I know right. I know that this will most likely not come true.
But, a lot of fans were commenting about it, and I have always been the guy to talk about all kinds of outcomes just if it sounded fun or interesting! So, I just went into see if it was actually possible, and I think it was good enough to be a theory.
Also, it did bring up some stuff that could have been done better. Like, I don't think it was to have Hit eliminated using the same exact attack Hit saw getting used vs Kale. Some of the points stands solid in pointing out what they shouldn't have done.
However, I personally do not think Hit is coming back, because they tried to highlight how better Jiren was by making him eliminate Hit, the biggest deal before him. Besides, while naratting the theory I described everything in a way that fits the narrative of it, there are many flaws, like The Dragon Ball Writer thing mention, he himself explained that his English is not that good, looks like he often uses translators. So he might just have been personally expecting a Hit v Vegeta rematch, and we just took it in a different way.
Anyways, although I understand the reality of Hitman Hit being eliminated. From an emotional perspective, I think it would be totally badass if he became, like a genuine shock, something that can make us clap. If I were in charge, I would make it happen.
Well, that's about all for now. Hope you enjoyed the video whether you actually think it will happen or not.

Dear Sherri,My daughter is getting married next year so I just booked a caterer, a Hall, and a very expensive wedding dress and had to place a very large deposit for each of those items. If something were to happen, such as the caterer goes out of business before the wedding, how would I go about getting back my deposit? Does my homeowners insurance cover this? - Getting Cold Feet
Dear Cold Feet,Congratulations for your daughter and my condolences to your bank account! Unfortunately, your Homeowner's policy would not cover you for this. What you need to do is purchase Wedding Insurance. This type of insurance protects you for lost deposits, ruined photos, flowers that don't show up in time, wedding gifts that are damaged, lost or damaged wedding rings and a host of other perils up to and including problems with their Honeymoon Suite. Unfortunately, it won't cover you if your daughter or her fiance back out at the last minute. That will just need a mother's tender loving care …upside the head! So call your agent today for details about Wedding Insurance. And if none of that works, I recommend that you discreetly recommend eloping! - Sherri

Survivor finale
tough to handicap
Just four remain, but anyone could win
Will Ian stick with buddy Tom, or try and make things up with Katie?
By Andy Dehnart
MSNBC contributor
Updated: 5:28 p.m. ET May 13, 2005And then there were four on Survivor Palau.
Already? How did that happen?
Even though weve been watching the final four Tom, Katie, Ian, and Jenn since February, in many ways, we just met them.
Each week, their alliances have shifted so dramatically that the game has followed no clear path. Although NYC firefighter Tom has dominated in both challenges and game play, hes far from guaranteed a win on Sundays finale.
For the first eight episodes, we watched one tribe decimate the other. Four Ulong members went home before Koror visited tribal council, and then it was just to dispose of Willard, who checked out and turned in his key weeks earlier. After that, three more Ulong members took the walk of shame as the lamest tribe in the history of Survivor continued to fall on its face.
This unprecedented slaughter had consequences for viewers. Every time Ulong lost, the episode focused primarily on its members politicking. By episode eight, viewers were quite familiar with the Ulong tribes inner workings, but by then just Stephenie remained. As a result, weve only had the past five episodes to introduce us to the politics inside Koror. That hasnt been enough time to get a sense of whats going to happen.
Typically, when tribes merge, were only about halfway through the season. This time, when the tribes merged Stephenie rowed her boat over to Koror the season was two-thirds over. Thus the past few weeks have been a whirlwind; suddenly, just four people remain, and the season finale is just days away.
Alliances shifting with the wind
During some Survivor seasons, the editors have kept key strategizing out of the episodes, which makes for more dramatic if less informed tribal council viewing. While its frustrating to watch concealed strategies play out without any hint of whats to come, its tough to keep track of the endless strategizing and socializing without a flow chart.
Odds: 1:2
Bottom line: Has dominated physically and emotionally. If he wins immunity, the game is his to lose.
Odds: 1:3
Bottom line: Latched himself to Tom but has strategized quite a bit on his own. If he can navigate his relationship with Katie, and win immunity like he did in the past, things may go his way.
Odds: 1:3
Bottom line: If shes playing Ian like she appears to be, and she ends up in the final two with him, she could take it all.
Odds: 1:6
Bottom line: She doesnt seem to be very involved except to follow the leader, but that might be enough to carry her through to a point where she can make her move. A.D.
These past few episodes, transparency has been the name of the game for the editors, whove shown us a lot of the tribes inner machinations. And alliances have moved around like pairs of shoes banging around inside a dryer. Last week, Tom, Ian, and Caryn banded together to boot off Gregg, a former ally of Tom and Ian, betraying a friend to advance in the game. That must have been a difficult move, but it was smart play: Gregg was strong and a tough competitor.
This week, Katies friendship with Ian seemed to be at the center of yet another shift. When Ian won the reward challenge a red convertible Corvette and a night away from camp at a hote l he decided to take Tom with him. This was baffling, since Ian and Katie had previously promised to share any rewards. And Tom and Ian had earlier agreed to not take one another, thereby preventing the women from being alone.
The only explanation for Ians behavior other than that the dolphin trainer flipped out after spending so much time with humans on land was that Ian wanted the women to get together, form an alliance, and vote out Tom. Hed indirectly be disposing of his toughest competition before the game reached its final three days.
Thus the women gathered together and appeared to be ready to send one of the men on their way to the jury. But with yet another power play afoot, everyone started fighting for their lives. And then, at tribal council, Caryn hurled a metaphoric tank of propane into the fire, and the resulting explosion threatened to change the game.
She revealed everything she knew about other players strategies (and maybe even some things that shed completely made up). She said she was putting everything on the table so the jury could be informed, but her strategy also seemed designed to sway the women into sticking with an alliance, showing them that the Tom and Ian werent trusted allies.
Caryns strategy didnt work, and she became the fifth member of the jury. What happened, though, shows what a complicated game Survivor can be, and how particularly complicated Survivor Palau is, even going into its final days.
There are two basic components that affect the way people play Survivor: strategy and humanity. Their humanity their connection to one another is what makes the game interesting.
Few people are able to strategize and play Survivor as if it were a chess board with cold, plastic pawns.
Their relationships affect their ability to play intelligently, and to make decisions that are in their best interest. How many times have castaways followed at the heels of a power-wielding player (Boston Rob, Richard Hatch, even Tom this season), even though they could have banded together and taken that person out?
Katies attachment to Ian may have led her to vote against Caryn, but she seems to be keeping the upper hand in their relationship. She may have been acting when she cried about Ians betrayal, but that doesnt really matter; what matters is that she and Ian are tight. Shes come from almost nowhere to prove that shes a stronger player than we imagined.
Ian, too, is full of surprises, strategizing and then sliding his skinny frame out of the fray as soon as things get messy. Toms willingness to strong-arm Caryn when it was necessary shows that, when pushed up against a wall, even he will come out swinging, and that could hurt his nearly flawless reputation. And just by being involved but staying on the periphery, Jenn could let the others self-destruct, walking in at the last minute to claim the $1 million.
As Tribal Council concluded, Jeff Probst, frequent master of the obvious, said, I cant wait to see how this plays out. With one episode and three tribal councils to go, it really is anyones game.

The color scheme makes or breaks an interior design. Rustic kitchen signature color schemes are comprised of shades of red, orange and gold. Orange color is said to be the appetite stimulant and comfort maker. The floor should be distinguished with hard wood and metallic copper shades to give it a Mediterranean feel. Wall painting must illustrate the rustic design feeling.Home owners can try orange, red, shades of gold, olive green and darkest shades of Tuscan style furniture.
When you are making the calculations for space in your professional kitchen design ideas, do not forget to calculate the height of all of the counters and workspaces. If the height is too low or too high, it will make working in the kitchen unpleasant and tiring. Whether you are going to use gas or electric to cook, it should also be incorporated in your professional kitchen design ideas. Many cooks prefer to use both gas and electric. What size will your ovens be? Keep in mind that you need bigger ovens for the large trays and baking sheets. Do you want grills, griddles and barbecue access? Do you want that barbecue to be charcoal? In order to keep the kitchen cool, dry and comfortable, do not forget to incorporate kitchen hood heat extractors.
Of course, the floors of such kitchen design ideas will be made of wood as well. You have the choice on what type of wood you want to use and on what type of finish to apply on it. Just make sure that it goes well with the other parts of the kitchen and not look out of place.

I've never had Absinth but I've always been a bit curious about it. My first recollection of hearing about it was from the W.C. Fields movie 'The Bank Dick'. The movie features an exchange that goes like this:
Man at bar: What can you give me for some shattered nerves, the inside meemies, the jitters...
Mr Sousse : Joe, if the gentleman has some butterflies in his stomach I suggest a dash of rover in it.
Man: Rover?
Mr Sousse: Dog...Absinth...It's very good for the nerves...
(Man then proceeds to down a large glass much to the amazement of Mr Sousse (W.C.) and Joe the bartender (Shemp Howard))
Absinth hasn't been sold in the U.S. for a long time, for a variety of reasons, but It appears you can order it from over seas. Anyone have any experience with it, either pro or con?

Salman Khan is all set to launch his brother-in-law Aayush Sharma with a love story. Aayush's debut film will be made under Salman's production house, Salman Khan Films(SKF). The untitled film will be helmed by the debutant director Abhiraj Minawala.
The upcoming actor, Aayush has reportedly been working hard to prep for his debut film for the past three years. He learnt acting from Salman on the set of Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, Sultan and Tubelight. Apart from learning acting on the sets, he also underwent training in dance.
Dabangg Khan himself confirmed the news by sharing a good luck note for Aayush on his official Twitter account.
Congrats @aaysharma Now is the time for a lot of mehnat aur lagan. Wish you all success God Bless #AayushSharma— Salman Khan (@BeingSalmanKhan) October 9, 2017

Aayush's debut film will be a love story based in Gujarat and the film will go on floors in February 2018. Earlier there were speculations that Salman's fan girl Mouni Roy will be seen romancing with Aayush in his debut film but now it was reported that the lead actress is yet to be finalised.

Three Free Kindle Books
I'd like to invite you at this point to enter your e-mail below and take advantage of getting my three favorite Kindle books sent straight to your inbox – on me. Which books you ask? Well, here you go:
Book 1.
Siddhartha, By Herman Hesse – Steppenwolf woke me up to what I was feeling inside. I used to tell girls I was dating that if you wanted to know me, read that book. None of them ever did. As much as I could relate to Steppenwolf, it was Siddhartha that changed my life. Not only did Siddhartha first introduce me to Buddhism, and Hinduism, but it also taught me that to truly live life is to seek, not to find. Finding creates anxiety until it is found, while one can seek just about anything. It is this seeking that leads to adventure and ultimately life experience. I read this book at least once a year and it never gets old.
Book 2.
Essays, By Ralph Waldo Emerson – While you can learn from every essay in this book, On Self-Reliance is worth any price tag you would pay. The opening line for the essay grabs you and sets the tone.
"Ne te quaesiveris extra"
It is a Latin line, meaning "Do not seek outside yourself"
The essay has three major divisions: the importance of self-reliance (paragraphs 1-17), self-reliance and the individual (paragraphs 18-32), and self-reliance and society (paragraphs 33-50). As a whole, it promotes self-reliance as an ideal, even a virtue, and contrasts it with various modes of dependence or conformity. All three epigraphs stress the necessity of relying on oneself for knowledge and guidance which I whole heartedly agree with.
Book 3.
On Benefits, by Lucius Annaeus Seneca – Seneca was the ultimate philosopher. He was a seeker, a questioner, a life experimenter. If you feared something for example, he advocated experiencing it on your own terms rather than having life dictate it to you and finding you totally unprepared. In this book, he dissects the following: The prevalence of ingratitude, how a benefit ought to be bestowed, the three Graces, how benefits are the chief bond of human society, what we owe in return for a benefit received, and how a benefit consists not of a thing but of the wish to do good. And that's just the first book.
I truly hope you enjoy each one of these books as much as I do. If you do, share this page with someone else who will too!

MobileCare Helps Agency Improve Processes, Staff Satisfaction
Posted On: January 22nd, 2013
Vice President, Product Marketing and Strategy, McKesson
A home health or hospice agency is only as good as its processes. Undoubtedly, your staff plays a vital role in patient care, but they must be backed up by processes and technology to help facilitate that quality care.
Helping support the needs of staff is one of the reasons Methodist Home Health & Hospice became one of the first agencies to adopt McKesson Homecare MobileCareTM, which brings patient information, point-to-point directions, care plans and more to supported mobile devices.
"We used this as an opportunity to springboard to new technology," explains Jan Steck, business manager for the Peoria, Ill.-based agency.
The lack of environmental information for field staff was a concern that a mobile option could address. Additionally, state surveyors noted a lack of clinical-driven care plans and care details being pushed out to clinicians and aides.
Cindy Woodall, application specialist, brought together a team of CNAs, nurses, management and IT staff to outline care plan changes, define environmental concerns and provide education for nurses and aides. That education was customized to focus on the particular needs of each group. The agency passed out mobile devices four months before the go-live data so users could familiarize themselves with the devices.
Steck says the overall implementation has been positive. Mileage expenses have declined, while staff satisfaction has increased, Steck says. Clinicians and aides now can access environmental and DNR information, notes, schedules and schedule changes without the need for paper copies. The office staff no longer has to make calls to change schedules, which increases efficiency.
Steck says the transition to McKesson Homecare MobileCare has been worth the effort. "We felt this was best for patients and best for staff," Steck says.

Smartphones Will Overtake Other Devices in Online Shopping Very Soon
This is the day and age of smartphones. There has been a revolutionary rise in the innovative features being used in smartphones. In a highly competitive industry, only those phone manufacturers are successful which use the technological advances in their product lines. Leading phone manufacturers like Apple and Samsung have incorporated these technological advances in their product lines to offer customers a worthwhile experience. With features like electronic sensors, Apple Pay and Google Wallet, it is no wonder that it is only a matter of time before smartphones overtake other devices in online shopping soon.
The above graphic represents the number of people all over the world using desktops and mobiles. You can easily see that mobile users are on a much steeper rise and have overtaken desktop users.
With the launch of 3G and LTE technology, millions of people have access to blazing fast internet on their fingertips. This alone has played a vital role in increasing the online shopping activity. The rest of the rise in mobile online shopping can be attributed to the marketplaces. Take Kaymu.pk for example. The online marketplace has a mobile friendly website as well as an app to facilitate customers. This means that potential customers can simply open up the website or app, look for desired products and purchase them on the go.
Smartphones like Samsung Galaxy and Note series as well as Apple iPhones now come with the option of simply scanning the bar code and paying on the spot. Better yet, with upcoming improvements in features like Google Wallet and Android Pay, it is only a matter of time before smartphones become the leading device for online shopping as compared to computers, tablets and laptops.
This also poses a serious threat to the existence of brick and mortar stores. These stores are known for offering personalized experience. Obviously online stores cannot give such a great shopping experience but nonetheless, with an abundance of sellers selling products at varying prices, online shopping provides customers the chance to find the best deals. It also allows them to buy products from all leading brands in one place instead of going individually to each shop to purchase one specific brand. Obviously online marketplaces like shophive and others need to provide proper facilitation to the users in order for the overall ecommerce industry to grow. Services like Cash on Delivery and free returns go a long way in boosting the confidence of online shoppers.
Like all other forms on inventions, mobile shopping is not without its flaws. But time must be given for it to improve. What we can be assured of is that the industry is on the right track. With improvements in site layouts and introduction of shopping apps, mobile shopping is on the rise and mobile will soon replace other devices as the most used device to shop online.

Saturday's election for governor attracted the fewest voters in at least 40 years.
Only 36 percent of Louisiana's 2.8 million voters cast a ballot in the primary that elected Gov. Bobby Jindal for a second term, according to unofficial results from the Secretary of State's Office.
Political experts attributed the apathy to a lackluster race featuring nine little-known candidates trying to oust a popular governor with a strong war chest.
"An awful lot of my friends didn't vote," former state Insurance Commissioner Jim Brown said Monday. "Members of my family didn't vote. I gave them hell."
Brown, a longtime Democrat, said he voted ahead of Saturday's primary during early voting.
In all, 1,022,439 votes were cast in the governor's race with Jindal garnering 65.8 percent of them.
For past governor's races:
• Edwin Edwards alone got 1 million votes in 1983.
• 1.6 million voted in the 1987 primary that resulted in Buddy Roemer becoming governor.
• 1.3 million voted in 1999 when Mike Foster easily captured a second term.
Some voters in Saturday's primary voted for governor and then skipped over the other statewide races. Only 31 percent voted in the secretary of state's race.
More voters cast ballots for agriculture commissioner and insurance commissioner than for lieutenant governor, which is second in line of succession to the governor's office.
University of New Orleans political science professor Ed Chervenak said Jindal still can claim a significant victory despite the low turnout.
"Anytime you get 65 percent of the vote, that's a landslide," Chervenak said.
The high-water mark in modern Louisiana voting history is the David Duke-Edwin Edwards runoff in 1991. More than 1.7 million voters participated. Edwards ended up collecting more votes in the general election than the total number of votes cast in Saturday's governor election.
The 1991 runoff pitted Edwards, a longtime political figure who stood trial for bribery, against Duke, a former Ku Klux Klan member. Bumper stickers begged Louisianans to "Vote for the Crook, It's Important."
Edwards won.
A dozen years later, 1.4 million voted when Jindal faced Kathleen Blanco in a runoff. Blanco won by less than 100,000 votes.
Jindal ran for governor in 2007 against two millionaires who largely self-financed their campaigns but attracted little of the vote. Jindal won the primary outright with 1.3 million casting ballots.
Chervenak said the lack of any real competition at the top of the ballot contributed to the low turnout for Saturday's primary.
Jindal's primary competition was Haynesville schoolteacher Tara Hollis, a political novice who got 18 percent of the vote.
Chervenak said the race for lieutenant governor, which pitted incumbent Jay Dardenne against Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser, was highly negative, which likely turned away voters. The candidates took swipes at each other throughout the campaign.
He said voters also probably assumed Jindal would cruise to victory with or without their votes.
Jindal said the low turnout amounted to satisfaction among voters.
"I think, in general, people are pleased with the direction of the state," the Republican governor said.
Brown said Democrats did not mount the get-out-the-vote efforts they traditionally do. The party is in the process of regrouping amid a surge in Republican Party dominance.
He said the governor benefited from hard work at fundraising and some luck.
"Although the governor can take pride in his easy reelection victory, when you look at the numbers, there was a major drop-off in voter participation," Brown said.

Frugal Retiring News, Issue 62, July 2014
July 22, 2014
|Dear Subscriber
Yeah...but it is a dry heatIt is a touch hot in Phoenix these days.
114 is 114...the good news is there is less traffic, and I hear that you can get seated right away at restaurants... remember our number one tip for frugal living is...so I really don't know about that one.
Pictured above is how my frugal wife buys things we love when they are on sale and puts them in the freezer... Blueberries are not only one of our favorite foods, they are very high in antioxidants.
So when they are in season she stocks up.
Frugal tip number oneFor those of you that have passports you know that they are good for 10 years... But they are not good for overseas travel during the last six months of that 10 year period.
Go figure I'm not making this up.
Since ours would have expired in January 2015, without a new passport we could not have taken advantage of any Last-minute supercheap travel deals... So we went ahead and got our new passports... It took about five weeks. And cost us $220 for two passports.
If you do a lot of foreign travel or would like expedited treatment through the TSA checkpoints at major airports... Check into the global entry card...It's $100 a person and good for five years.
We do not have one but are tired like everyone else about the long delays getting through TSA checkpoints.
If anyone has one let me know how simple the process is.
Frugal living tip number twoI love hearing from readers of this newsletter... Having said that I myself probably use Google three to four times a day... From product recommendations, to how to do something, checking on travel deals etc.
So when you ask for a specific recommendation I often reply I would Google... Fill in the blank.
You should also get into the habit of using this free resource.
I will never forget about four years ago I had to replace a part in my television.
I found a step-by-step with pictures tutorial on how to change that exact part.
It saved me $300 by doing it myself.
So Google first when you have any kind of question.
Frugal living tip number threeI don't know about you but at 68 I am less and less comfortable when getting on ladders.
Coming back from our recent trip the smoke detectors were chirping.
Our fire department provides a free service... If you will provide the new batteries they will come change them for you... So you might check with your local fire department and see if they offer this service to the community.
It also excites the neighborhood to see the fire engine parked in front of your house... Just kidding.
Frugal living tip number fourIn my last newsletter I mentioned that you can get a senior pass good for lifetime admission to all of our national parks for $10.
A reader, who happens to be a Park Ranger, suggested that I remind you that it is $10 at any entrance gate to the park.
If you get one by mail they add an extra $10.
So Smokey says only you can save a little money by taking the Rangers advice and getting your senior pass at the gate not by mail.
Frugal tip number fiveAll the money in the world cannot replace good health.
We recently cut our summer trip short because of a problem with Julie's annual mammogram... She got retested including a sonogram and everything is fine.
A tip that she would like to pass along is that the technician that has done her last five mammograms was not there during the test that we had to have redone.
So you may want to request the same technician perform your annual mammogram if at all possible.
Frugal tip number sixBy cutting our summer trip short I missed out on my annual fishing trip to Oregon.
We found some extra low fares on Expedia... $516 for the two of us to fly from Phoenix to Redmond Oregon which is just north of Bend our final destination.
So for hotels, cruises and flights.
Check Expedia; Kayak; Hotwire; Hotels.com Booking Buddy and you might be surprised like we were that we could fly cheaper than we could drive...for two days, really fun when crossing Nevada, when you put in the expenses for gasoline, and a hotel up and back.
Here's the page on site for more tips
In closingJulie is finding some great deals on warm winter clothing... On dollar day... At our local Goodwill.
Now is a great time to accumulate warm clothing to give to the homeless when the weather gets a little cold.
Always remember to use the tips that you gain on site to not only help yourself but the less fortunate in your community.
Be safe in your travels and hug the ones that you love.
All the best,
Gary and Julie

I'm new to Share Your World and stumbled across it thanks to a task on Zero to Hero and the WordPress Blog Events Listings
In what do you find the simplest of joys?
Being able to speak to my husband via Skype while he is working away from home. Isn't technology wonderful? When it works anyway.
Jello or Pudding? And what is your favorite flavor?
As I am from the UK and we don't have Jello, I don't think I've ever tried it, I'm going to have to go with pudding. By pudding do you mean something like Angel Delight which you mix from a packet with milk and leave in the fridge to set? Kind of like a mousse? If so, strawberry is my favourite flavour.
Is there a language you would like to learn?
I'd love to be able to speak French or German more fluently than my GCSE/A Level standard. I can however, communicate with Makaton. Makaton is a sign language based on British Sign Language in which you sign the key words of a sentence while you are speaking. It encourages communication for those who struggle with speech and understanding. I have been using it with my son since he was 2 1/2 and as he started using signs his communication skills improved amazingly.
Do you prefer juice or fruit?

Construction of the children's Building in Managua church
In the month of October 2016, our home church in Lubbock Texas, Church on the Rock and Pursue Mission did a banquet in the benefit of Nicaragua and they raised funds to help us to continue doing what we are doing here and to build the children's building in the main church of Managua. This is a great blessing to our kids and to the teachers, they have been very faithful to teach our children without having the necessary conditions, but now the Lord has honored their heart and their service with this great news. They sent a team of 3 men, Joe, Kelly and Henry, they worked hard for 7 days and now our men here in Nicaragua are continuing the job.
