Florida Integrative Medical Center utilizes Clear Mind Center's EEG Neurointegration System which is a ground breaking approach in brainwave neurotherapy, and can help restore the brain to its optimum levels of Delta, Theta, Alpha and Beta. Patients can often see dramatic results from this therapy.
The Neurointgration system uses unique photic stim light technology, which combined with EEG auditory and visual feedback guides the brain into producing new efficient brainwave patterns. Eventually the brain learns to make these optimal brain patterns on its own. This state-of-the-art system combines these technologies to achieve rapid improvement in mental and physical states, yielding powerful long-lasting results.
Properly balanced rhythms result in optimal brainwave patterns. Our emotions are a reflection of the rhythms in our brains: excess beta can produce anxiety, too much frontal alpha could result in depression, or ADD. Training brainwaves into efficient patterns allows the central nervous system to learn how to self-regulate, directing it away from debilitating, painful, destructive disorders into effortless processing and optimal functionality.

Today we are talking about 'BJP seen as pro-Hindutva, why would anyone prefer a clone?': Jaitley's dig at Rahul | India News, check out the 'BJP seen as pro-Hindutva, why would anyone prefer a clone?': Jaitley's dig at Rahul | India News with complete details and accuracy At 9wiki.info.
Check down the table for 'BJP seen as pro-Hindutva, why would anyone prefer a clone?': Jaitley's dig at Rahul | India News By 9wiki – The Encyclopedia We are always providing right details you can comment below if you found any irrelevant content of celeb.
NEW DELHI: Union minister and senior BJP leader Arun Jailtey on Saturday asserted his party's 'Hindutva' roots and said those parading their newfound Hindu piety were nothing but "clones".
"BJP has always been seen as a pro-Hindutva party and if someone wants to mimic us, I do not have any complaint. But there is a basic principle in politics, if an original is available why would anyone prefer a clone?" Jailtey told mediapersons in Surat.
The finance minister's barbed remarks were in response to Congress leader Kapil Sibal's charge that Prime Minister Narendra Modi can no longer be called a Hindu as he had completely embraced fundamentalist ideology. It was also a sly dig at Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi, who has been on a temple-visiting spree in Gujarat ahead of the assembly election later this month.
One such pilgrimage of Rahul's sparked a massive furore in the last few days, after it was reported that the Congress leader's name was allegedly listed as a 'non-Hindu' visitor at the famed Somnath Temple. The BJP fulminated against Rahul and asked him to come clean on his religious leanings, while the Congress, in damage control mode, proclaimed Rahul a devout 'janeu dhaari Hindu'.
This was buttressed by Rahul's own assertion that he came from a family of 'Shiv bhakts', but chose not to discuss his faith publicly as it was a "personal" matter, a statement at odds with his recent streak of visiting 20-odd temples in poll-bound Gujarat over the last several weeks.
In light of the BJP sweeping the UP civic polls and the Congress party's dismal show, Jaitley said the grand old party is on the cusp of extinction and will meet a bitter defeat in Gujarat, where the saffron party has ruled for the last 20 years.
"While BJP has maintained its credibility, Congress is slowly becoming extinct. The results haven't been out yet and they have already started making excuses for their defeat," he remarked when asked about allegations of EVM tampering.
He added that before the BJP came to power in Gujarat, there was rampant "social polarisation" in the state.
Coming down heavily on the erstwhile UPA regime headed by Manmohan Singh, finance minister Arun Jaitley called it the "most corrupt" and "leaderless" government in Indian history.
"The 10 years of governance before Modi Ji's govt was the most corrupt government we have ever seen. It was a leaderless government. It was said that the then PM is a PM in office but not in power," he said.
The finance minister said the UPA dispensation was plagued by policy paralysis, which adversely affected India's growth and economy. The turnaround began when the Modi-led BJP came to power in 2014 and through reforms and elimination of red-tapism, the Indian economy is now on an upward trajectory, he said.
"India was part of fragile five economies in the world and at one point discussions were going on whether India will be out of BRICS. Foreign investments had completely stopped at a point in India. Today, we have come up by 42 positions in the World Bank's ranking of Ease of doing business," Jaitley said.

Gloria Sachs, 85, Designer for Career Women
By DENNIS HEVESI
Published: March 21, 2012
Gloria Sachs, a fashion designer who tapped into a growing market of women seeking understated elegance in clothes as they rose to new heights in the workplace in the 1970s and '80s, died on Monday, March 12 at her home in Manhattan. She was 85.
Her daughter, Nancy Sachs, confirmed her death.
Under her label, Gloria Sachs Designs Ltd., Ms. Sachs seized on a growing cohort of women coming out of college in the 1970s, entering the white-collar workplace and searching for clothing that would be stylish and comfortable while also being appropriate for the office.
Among an array of designs, she came up with ankle-length skirts; tailored silk shirts precisely matched to gabardine pants; and linen and Dacron suits and jackets that could be combined with a print shirt or a print kilt.
She offered shirts that could be worn one over the other, with the sleeves of the one on top rolled up. Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue, Lord & Taylor and Neiman Marcus were among the stores that sold her line.
Gloria Sachs Designs was in operation from 1970 to 1994, a period when the percentage of women in professional and management jobs showed significant increases.
''Coming out of a new movement in the '60s and '70s, Gloria was one of the first female designers to influence the way women dress,'' said Stan Herman, a former president of the Council of Fashion Designers of America. ''She created every piece of the wardrobe that a woman would want -- coats, suits, sweaters, dresses -- that wove in the intricacies of fabric, cut and silhouette.''
The designer Mary Ann Restivo said Ms. Sachs ''had a lot of elegant women looking forward to wearing her clothing.''
''There were lot of soft, longer skirts sought by businesswomen who wanted to look more feminine than wearing a very tailored suit,'' she said.
For Ms. Sachs, that was an evolution from her earlier days creating clothes for younger markets. ''I had designed junior clothes and preteen clothes, and I decided it was time to let the clothes grow up with me,'' she said in 1972, two years after starting her line for women.
Gloria Mildred Wasserman was born in Manhattan on Feb. 17, 1927, to Jacob and Sylvia Wasserman, and grew up in Scarsdale, N.Y. Her father was an accountant.
After graduating from Skidmore with a degree in fine arts in 1947, Ms. Sachs studied textile design at the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Mich. She then went to Paris to become an apprentice to the modernist artist Fernand L?r and to be a fashion model.
Returning to New York in 1951, Ms. Sachs was hired by Bloomingdale's, where she rose to fashion coordinator. In 1958 she opened Red Barn, a clothing design company for preteenagers that preceded the founding of Gloria Sachs Designs.
Besides her daughter, Ms. Sachs is survived by a son, Charles; two sisters, Betsy Lodwick and Joan Schwimmer; and three grandchildren. Her marriage to Irwin Sachs, who died before her, ended in divorce.
This is a more complete version of the story than the one that appeared in print.

In the first major policy change of the post-Walter Reed era, 22nd Judicial District Attorney Warren Montgomery has made it clear to his assistant district attorneys that he will keep a tighter rein on their outside civil law work than his predecessor, issuing a memo last week that bans them from taking any new cases while his administration finalizes its policies and procedures.
An employee handbook dealing with this and other matters will be ready for staffers to review and comment on at the end of this month, the memo said.
Reed, who left office last month after 30 years as DA of St. Tammany and Washington parishes, did not have written guidelines for staffers, a fact that all the candidates running to succeed him pointed out and promised to change.
Montgomery never said during the campaign that he would forbid assistant district attorneys from maintaining an outside law practice. Roy Burns was the only candidate in the field vying to replace Reed who went that far.
In his memo, which was dated Thursday, Montgomery said the ban on new cases is temporary and he doesn't anticipate a permanent outright ban on outside civil practice. However, he has said several times that he plans a higher degree of oversight, with all such work to be reviewed by an internal ethics panel.
Montgomery has said he doesn't want to prevent staffers from handling "innocuous'' legal matters but wants to make sure there are no conflicts of interest or other problems.
The memo directed all assistant district attorneys to provide information about any civil cases they are handling at this time to Tony LeMon, head of Montgomery's civil division, by Friday of this week.
Outside civil practice was an issue on the campaign trail during the fall after Reed chose not to run for re-election amid a federal investigation that appears to be focused on his campaign spending and his work for St. Tammany Parish Hospital under what he has portrayed as a private arrangement.
Reed had a lucrative outside civil practice that sometimes raised questions about potential conflicts of interest. In one case, for example, the DA's Office recused itself from prosecuting a Texas truck driver for negligent homicide so that Reed could represent the victims' families in a lucrative civil case.
In addition, the law firm of Harry Pastuszek, one of Reed's inner circle, was paid about $500,000 a year to represent the St. Tammany Parish School Board, a deal he got through the DA's Office. His work for the School Board included defending it from civil suits brought by families of boys who were raped at Abney Elementary School by a school janitor whom the DA successfully prosecuted in 2009. That work included taking a deposition from the rapist in which he claimed his innocence.
One legal expert called that apparent conflict of interest "just wrong'' and said it could potentially raise questions about the validity of the janitor's conviction.
Pastuszek eventually recused himself from the case, and he retired from the DA's Office in September.
Rafael Goyeneche, president of the Metropolitan Crime Commission, said the new memo shows that Montgomery is giving himself time to figure out the best way to manage this issue and is fulfilling his campaign promise to take a good, long look at it.
District attorneys handle this issue differently across the state, he said. Some don't allow any outside work by their assistant district attorneys, while others do; there's also a middle ground in which matters are vetted on a case-by-case basis.
Goyeneche said Jefferson Parish District Attorney Paul Connick checks outside work against a database not only for names of defendants but also for witnesses and victims.
That policy applies to all employees, Goyeneche said. If a secretary wants to start a cookie business on the side, the DA would want to know who her partners are.
Montgomery's memo offers some additional signs that he will be watching outside work more carefully, including the amount of time staffers spend on such work.
"Further, with regard to any present outside civil matters being handled by an assistant district attorney, attendance at any hearing or meetings ... during normal office hours between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. requires a formal leave of absence," the memo said.
Any exception to the ban on taking new work will be considered on a case-by-case basis by Montgomery, the memo concluded.

(VI) Vitamin E kills off cancer cells and prevents their reproduction, study finds / This One Fruit Kills Malignant Cells of 12 Different Types of Cancer
Source: http://www.naturalnews.com/050646_vitamin_E_cancer_study_disease_prevention.html
Vitamin E kills off cancer cells and prevents their reproduction, study finds
(NaturalNews) Even with all the progress that has been made in cancer detection and treatment in the last few decades, there is still a long way to go. (Not really, there have been multiple cures over the last 30 years but the cabal steps in and eradicates the cure. We just need to release all the cures. –MrT.) Even with all the money that gets poured into cancer research, this disease remains the fourth leading cause of death in the United States, and numbers are similar for many other countries around the world. And a big part of the problem is that the majority of cancer therapies still revolve around some combination of surgery, chemo or radiation therapy.
All of these treatments carry risks, and all have unwanted side effects. That is why so many researchers are putting their time into coming up with more natural ways to treat cancer. And one surprising candidate that has emerged from all of this is vitamin E, which is more popularly known for its ability to nourish the skin.
Vitamin E and cancer
What has many people in the cancer research community talking about are several recently published studies that appear to the have found a link between high levels of vitamin E in the body and a decreased chance of breast cancer. Since this form of cancer remains of vital concern to women in particular, these studies have garnered a lot of attention.
How does it work?
While these studies were conducted separately, scientists participating in them drew some similar conclusions about the role that vitamin E plays in preventing cancer development. It appears that vitamin E is able to interfere with the special cells which actually nourish the cancerous tumor and help it to grow.
This interference means that the tumor is not able to grow, or more importantly, not able to spread to other parts of the body. It also was apparently able to induce higher rates of cancer cell death but without harming surrounding tissues.
Not all vitamin E is created equal
Before heading out to your local health food store to pick up a bottle of vitamin E, read on! Vitamin E actually comes in many different forms, and not all of these forms appear to be able to affect cancer cells in the way just described. The best kind appears to be vitamin E succinate, because it is this form which can act on the cancer cells and disrupt their ability to reproduce and spread – as well as hasten their death.
More research needs to be done to better understand the link between vitamin E levels and cancer, and the exact means by which this vitamin is able to stave off disease development. In the meantime, however, making sure to consume foods that are rich in Vitamin E and considering a supplement certainly won't hurt!

This One Fruit Kills Malignant Cells of 12 Different Types of Cancer
Plus many other benefits
By Christina Sarich
August 2, 2015
What would you do if you found out that the extract from a single fruit could keep the rogue cells of 12 different types of cancer in check?
Mainstream media reports that the fruit known as graviola, also known as soursop fruit, guanabana, or guyabano, is not a noteworthy cancer-fighter, but there are studies showing it effectively fights ovarian, colon, breast, prostate, lung, liver, cervical, lymphoma, and pancreatic cancers.
For pancreatic cancer, graviola was shown to be effective at "inhibiting tumorigenicity," as well as "altering pancreatic tumor cell metabolism," found one pathologist at the University of Nebraska.
Laboratory research also showed it to be 10,000 times stronger in killing colon cancer cells than Adriamycin, a commonly used chemotherapy drug. And Graviola, unlike chemotherapy, can kill cancer cells without harming healthy cells.
What about cervical cancer? Soursop was beneficial in treating this cancer, too, as evidenced in this scientific journal.
Yet another study showed that graviola extract inhibited breast cancer cell growth:
"These data showed that dietary GFE induced significant growth inhibition of MDA-MB-468 cells in vitro and in vivo through a mechanism involving the EGFR/ERK signaling pathway, suggesting that GFE may have a protective effect for women against EGFR-overexpressing BC."
Or you can read this PDF (download) detailing how a woman stabilized her metastasizing breast cancer with graviola.
And there are indeed more studies. Graviola contains potent anti-cancerous agents called acetogenins which play a key role towards many varieties of cancer. Acetogenins are potent inhibitors of NADH oxidase of the plasma membranes of cancer cells.
Graviola also contains phytochemicals such as Anonaine, Friedelin, Isolaureline, Annonamine, Anomurine, Kaempferol, Asimilobine, Quercetin, and Xylopine well as compounds such as Annonamine, and Kaempferol.

Cake Pie Recipes
What the heck is a cake pie?
Is it a cake or is it a pie? I asked myself that very same question the first time I heard about this dessert. Very simply put a cake pie is a cross between a pie and a cake. Many of the cake pies have a crust with a bit of pie filling and cake on top. Others are a cake with pie filling included in their mixture. Anyway you look at it they are delicious. You'll never have to choose between cake or pie again. You can have the best of both worlds.
Chocolate Cake Pie
Top part:
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup shortening
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp vanilla
Lower part:
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
1/3 cup hot water
1/4 tsp vanilla
Premade pie pastry
Preheat oven to 375.
For top part:
Cream shortening, adding egg and sugar.
Add milk alternately with sifted dry ingredients.
For lower part:

Cottage Cheese Cake Pie
2 cups cottage cheese
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs, separated
2 cups flour
2 prepared pastry shells
Combine cottage cheese, egg yolks, and salt.

Roll dough and cut into 6 inch circles.
Put 2 tbsp of cheese mixture on half of the circle.
Fold over other side and fasten edges together securely.
Drop half moon shaped cheese doughs in a pan of boiling water.
When they are done they will float to the top.
Remove from water and pour melted butter over them.
Pecan Cake Pie
1 yellow cake mix
1 egg
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 1/2 cup light corn syrup
3 eggs
1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Mix together cake mix, 1 eggs, and melted butter until thoroughly mixed.
Set aside 2/3 of the batter.
Spray a 9" x 13" pan with non-stick baking spray containing flour.
Spread the 1/3 portion of the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 15 minutes.
Mix the 2/3 portion of the batter that was set aside with the corn syrup, 3 eggs, brown sugar, vanilla and pecans.
Pour on top of baked crust and bake for 50 to 55 minutes.
Pumpkin Cake Pie
1 large can Pumpkin puree (29 oz)
1 can evaporated milk (12oz)
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp allspice
1 yellow cake mix
1 cup butter
1 cup chopped nuts
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Line a 9" x 13" pan with parchment paper.
In large bowl, mix together pumpkin, evaporated milk, eggs, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and allspice.
Pour into prepared pan.
Sprinkle dry cake mix over the pumpkin mixture, then sprinkle with nuts.
Pat the nuts gently into surface of pumpkin mixture.
Melt butter and drizzle over the cake mixture.
Bake for 45 to 50 minutes.
Cool cake in pan then turn upside down onto platter.
The crust will be on the top of the cake.
Remove parchment paper and decorate with whipped topping.

Gus :-)))
KoffeeKlatch Gals - Surely do hope that "hubpageswriter" meant "soaring" and did not mean "souring" in that comment above...
Anyway, I enjoyed this article but it was a wee bit scarce on what to do with those ready-to-use pie shells. The nice video showed one that was baked and then filled, so that is probably what should go with all of them, right?
I think that I will try flavoring some little taco shells and fill those for my favorite experiments - baking stuff in the microwave. Sounds like fun to me. Thanks for this article - an oldie but a goodie.
Gus :-)))
KoffeeKlatch Gals - I surely do hope that "hubpageswriter" meant "soaring" and not "souring" about what this article did to his or her appetite, but I fear for the worst. (Went to hubpageswriter's profitle page and the word has it that the hubber is no longer with us - not sure what that may imply... maybe just had something more to do...).
No matter with stuff like that, I liked the thought of cake pies. If you ever get to editing this article and re-posting it, let us know a wee bit more about what to do with those pre-prepared pie shells. Like in the chocolate cake pie, it never does tell us - but watching the video shows the troops pre-baking a pie shell. Must be that is the key, right?
Gonna try messing around with the idea, but probably with flavored taco shells [ ! ] or something already baked that I can load with cake batter for the microwave. Sounds crazy enough to be fun.
Gus :-)))
The steps are not that hard to learn. I'm sure many can try this out, my appetitie is souring just by reading it.:) Great hub.
Love the recipes. I am going to bookmark so I can come back and make one to wow my family. lol
These sound very interesting! Especially the first one. There is a dessert in a restaraunt that I really like and this recipe sounds like it could be it. I will let you know how it turns out.

Popular Nigerian life coach and motivational speaker on his weekly online talkshow last night: 'TRIPLES WITH S-BUCHI', interviewed a 29-year-old lady and a Quantity Surveyor; Omobolanle Adeyemo, who just got married to her boyfriend of 8 years. She talked about how they dated for eight years without sex, kissing, smooching, fingering, or sucking. It was pure and platonic.

Answer: Plant material (probable derived from bananas)
Congratulations to everyone who wrote in - you all got this one right! Alasdair rightly said "Is that not just plant material? The beginnings of parasitosis of the delusional variety if it is. Advise the patient not to worry."
While these structures are commonly referred to as banana 'seeds', the Cavendish bananas that are most often sold in grocery stores do not actually develop seeds. They have been bred to be sterile. However, each aborted ovum has a vascular network consisting of xylem strands and associated cells containing astringent tannins. Upon ripening, the tannins polymerize into a semi-solid mass called 'tannin bodies' which fill the cells. The tannin bodies sometimes incorporate red-brown pigments from polyphenol oxidase activity (like the browning reaction in cut apples) as the cells age, and can therefore be seen as the red-brown bodies in this case. They are associated with the xylem strand which give them a chain-like appearance.
Anonymous Anonymous also commented "They resemble arthroconidia still stuck together. Is there a reference book for such things?"
There are a few references out there you might find helpful.
In my opinion, the best reference is the "Atlas of Human Parasitology" by Ash and Orihel which has a nice section on parasitology mimics and artifacts (although it incorrectly calls the structures in the case banana 'seeds'). These authors also have another excellent atlas called "Parasites in Human Tissues" which has a section on parasite mimics. These 2 atlases are a MUST-have for those interested in parasitology.
Another book that has some nice images is "Atlas of Microscopic Artifacts and Foreign Materials" by I-Tien Yeh.
Finally, here is a link to a short paper I wrote a while back that shows the histologic appearance of a peanut, blueberry, lentil, and hotdog: Pritt et al.

If you put banana in a cup and let it for some days, people can notice that the bananna structures will be like the picture ones.

Pawan Kalyan is known to be a rationalist and a fan of well-known revolutionary Che Guevara. But successive failures at the box office seems to have forced the Power Star to seek divine intervention for the success of his latest film Gabbar Singh.
Pawan along with his unit made a whirlwind visit on Sunday to Tirumala to pray to the Lord in the morning. From there, he and the unit took a flight to Vizag to have a darshan of Simhachalam temple.
Pawan was mobbed by fans and the other devotees at Simhachalam and despite the security ring around him, Pawan sustained mild injuries in the melee created by the uncontrollable crowds.
The hero however returned by evening to Hyderabad to be present at the audio release function of Gabbar Singh. Let's see whether Gabbar's prayers will be heard by the gods and whether the film creates the old magic of Pawan at the box office.

You can say this news anchor fucked up by saying most of the beavers he's seen in his life are big and unfriendly, but this blooper falls on the hands of the producers. You don't just do a segment about beavers and expect a few sexual references not to fall in there. So they had to expect this one to happen. There's no way it couldn't have.
PS- Beaver is the single grossest word for a vagina in the history of mankind. And I'm not one to get grossed out by words, but beaver just takes the cake. Disgusting.

Mobile Suit Gundam Age is the 12th installment in the Gundam franchise, received with mixed reactions. While some loved the animation style and storyline structure, others felt it was thematically childish and simplistic. However, very few could deny the quality music, with songs from bands like Negoto and Galileo Galilei. So, whether it be the melody of "Sharp" or energy of "Asu E (To Tomorrow)", every song featured has something special to offer. Additionally, let us not forget about Spyair's epic anthem and Faylan's inspirational tune, as they deserve a spot on this list. So, without further ado, here are the 5 best songs of Gundam Age!
*Lyrics in the following paragraphs have been translated to English.
5. "Sharp" – Negoto
Negoto, the all-girl Japanese band, perform the second opening for Gundam Age, titled "Sharp". It's fun and playful, mixing an uplifting melody with Sachiko Aoyama's soothing voice. Not only does it make for a memorable blend, it enhances the passionate message of the song. "Now before an era of strobes sweeps you away / I'll break out of the confines of my fate / and begin dashing even faster / for I wish to become that star." While these lines are in English, they sound far better in Japanese. Nevertheless, it's not only an enjoyable song, it sets the stage beautifully for Asemu Asuno's arc. It's as heartwarming as it's fitting, making it one of the best songs of Gundam Age!
4. "Asu E (To Tomorrow)" – Galileo Galilei
Galileo Galilei perform the first opening song of Gundam Age, titled "Asu E (To Tomorrow)". The wheels are set in motion musically with the first opening song. If it's well-received, it will be remember for years to come. However, would it fail, the anime might lose some love immediately. In this case, Galileo Galilei came through with a melodically beautiful song that fits the show near perfectly. It's catchy and fun, with lines that will hit your Gundam-loving heart: "We looked up at tomorrow's sun / the clouds in the sky dropped freezing rain / a song that pierces a hole in my heart / stopped time starts moving". It's a well-written song with top-notch production quality, kicking the show into gear on the right foot!
3. "Real" – ViViD
ViViD created "Real" for Gundam Age, a song that's easy on the ears and heavy on the heart. Mixing a positive message with a pop-rock sound, ViViD was able to create a nicely structured song, with the build-up to the chorus being especially noteworthy. Additionally, the song's as joyful as it's emotional, accompanying the themes of the anime very well. "Make it reach out to my heart / your faint lingering voice / I am continuing to search for you / not in my dreams, but reality". With such a clear cut message and a well-timed 30-second guitar solo, "Real" is able to stand out among other songs. It's well-performed, with a memorable rhythm, making it a shoe-in for this list.
2. "White Justice" – Faylan
Faylan's "White Justice" is not only a great Gundam Age song, it's an excellent song in general. With a message of fighting through difficult times and standing for your beliefs, Faylan's song is truly relatable and heartfelt. It can hit the depths of your heart, especially with lines as beautiful as the following: "Determined warrior who lived through sorrowful times / once you believe in the path you have chosen / just charge through everything". It's an empowering song with a positive message for when you're at your lowest. Beyond that, it also offers polarizing quotes. "Realize that lives cannot be saved by taking others away", is among those lines. However, the beauty lies in the consciousness of how the message is delivered, making it stand tall among other songs!
1. "My World" – Spyair
Spyair's "My World" is the second ending song in Gundam Age, standing tall as the greatest song from the show. Considering what happens during Asemu Asuno's arc, it makes perfect sense to feature a song like "My World". It's as heartfelt as it's spine-tingling, with lyrics such as the following: "I am me because I am here / being myself, I'm searching for something / eliminating all my vulnerabilities, the heat is painful." Ike's top-notch delivery of these lines is especially memorable, adding to the feeling of pain and anguish. "But just for once, not blaming myself so hard / If I can move on, I'd come to love my world." Not only are these lines relatable, they can pull at your heartstrings and hit the center of your being. Nevertheless, with an unforgettable chorus and a high-tempo beat, Spyair takes the cake as the best song of Gundam Age!

Brooks Beast 14 provides maximum support and cushioning to severe overpronators. New Balance 587 is a highly stable trainer with a good amount of cushioing. Learn more...
The Brooks Beast 14 and the New Balance 587 are motion control running shoes that are geared towards severe overpronators who require a great deal of stability and support.
Note that while this review compares the men's running shoes, it also applies to the Brooks Ariel 14 and the New Balance W587 for women.
The Brooks Beast 14 and the New Balance 587 both have a very supportive upper. The main difference in the uppers is that the Brooks Beast 14 has a broad stitched on overlay wrapping the midfoot and no-sew overlays in the forefoot, while the New Balance 587 consists entirely of stitched-on overlays.
Therefore, the New Balance 587 should offer much more support in the upper than the Brooks Beast 14. This includes the wrapping around the heel.
But the no-sew overlays on the Brooks Beast 14 should give you a more comfortable fit that does not irritate your foot. In addition, the Brooks Beast 14 has a more open mesh than the New Balance 587, so should let more air in than the New Balance 587.
The big difference between the Brooks Beast 14 and the New Balance 587 can be found in the midsole. While both running shoes make use of a Rollbar, this Rollbar is a different technology in each running shoe.
The Rollbar in the New Balance 587 is to minimize rearfoot movement and provide lateral as well as medial stability, while the Rollbar in the Brooks Beast is located only on the medial side of the shoe to provide progressive pronation control through foam of increasing density and a midfoot shank that extends into the midsole foam to stiffen it up.
So while the New Balance 587 tries to keep your foot in a neutral plane, the Brooks Beast 14 tries to stop it from rolling in too far inward.
When your foot first strikes the ground the New Balance 587 uses the lateral Rollbar to control supination. In the Brooks Beast 14 a segmented crash pad, which runs from the back of the shoe via the lateral side to the forefoot, is used to absorb initial shock at heel-strike and start slowing down the inward rolling of the foot.
As your foot starts to roll in, the New Balance 587 uses the Rollbar on the medial side of the shoe to control pronation. In the Brooks Beast 14, the Progressive Diagonal Rollbar on the medial side is used to stop your foot from rolling too far inward.
Note that the medial post of the Brooks Beast 14 runs from under the heel till slightly past the arch, while the firmer foam in the New Balance 587 runs only halfway towards the arch.
This is a good sign that the New Balance 587 is used to stabilize your rearfoot more than to control excessive overpronation like the Brooks Beast 14.
In other words, the New Balance 587 controls rearfoot movement in lateral directions, while the Brooks Beast 14 controls inward rolling of the foot. So the New Balance 587 is more suitable for people who have mobility issues – whether the rolling is inward or outward – or who are unsteady on their feet, while the Brooks Beast 14 is suitable for runners who are concerned about stopping severe inward rolling of their feet.
Because the Brooks Beast 14 has a BioMoGo midsole with Brooks DNA cushioning that is laid out along the full length of the midsole, it should feel as cushy as the New Balance 587, which has a midsole with Absorb – highly shock absorbant – cushioning in the heel as well as the forefoot. So both running shoes provide a good amount of front-to-back cushioning.
Another big difference between the Brooks Beast 14 and the New Balance 587 lies in the outsole, where the New Balance 587 provides full ground contact and the Brooks Beast 14 good ground contact with a midfoot shank separating the rearfoot and the forefoot. This makes the New Balance 587 a highly stable shoe.
The New Balance 587 also has a very broad and wide base that does not get narrow at the midfoot, so is a very good shoe for people with flat feet. The Brooks Beast 14 looks more like a traditional running shoe, while still being broad in both the heel and the forefoot.
Both shoes should be able to accommodate large feet, especially those of heavier runners.
The Brooks Beast 14 has a segmented crash pad that runs from the back of the shoe along the outer edge towards the forefoot to provide shock absorption. While the New Balance 587 does not have such a crash pad, it uses cushioning instead to absorb shock.
The Brooks Beast 14 should provide a smoother transition from heel-strike to toe-off. And with its three horizontal flex grooves in the forefoot as opposed to two in the forefoot of the New Balance 587, the Brooks Beast 14 should also feel more flexible than the New Balance 587.
The Brooks Beast 14 weighs approximately 13.8 oz (391 grams) and the New Balance 587 for men weighs about 15 oz (425 grams). The Brooks Ariel 14 and the New Balance 587 for women differ by 0.1 oz with the New Balance 587 being lighter.
If you are a heavy runner who has wide feet and are looking primarily for a running shoe that will help control your severe overpronation and provide you with a smooth, comfortable, and cushy ride, then the Brooks Beast 14 could do the job.
If you have a flat and wide feet, and are looking for a shoe that stabilizes your rearfoot and provides lots of cushioning while you're walking or when you are at the gym, the New Balance 587 would be the better option to go with.
Note: The weight of a running shoe depends on the size of the running shoe, so any weights mentioned in this review may differ from the weight of the running shoe you choose to wear. Running shoes of the same size were compared for this review.

What's the Value of my Escondido Home?
Escondido Real Estate Market in July 2018
Escondido is an inland community, about 17 miles from the beaches and just east of San Marcos.
It's important for buyers and sellers in the Escondido housing market to understand recent trends and current local market conditions in order to make informed decisions about buying and selling Escondido homes for sale.
A Tour of Escondido – A Diverse Inland San Diego Community
The following data are taken from the San Diego MLS (private sales are not included in these statistics, nor are multifamily properties, or mobile and manufactured homes). The data are believed to be reliable at the time this report was written but are not guaranteed.
Here's the breakdown of overall activity.
180 (up 8%), 31 Days on Market, Ave. Sales Price $568,902 (no change), Ave. sale 97% of asking price,
Detached Homes Sold
141 (down 1%), 35 Days on Market, Ave. Sales Price $634,238 (up 4%), Ave. sale 97% of asking price
Attached Homes (condos, town homes) Sold
39 (up 63%), 15 Days on Market, Ave. Sales Price $332,686 (no change), Ave. sale 99% of asking price
In July 2018 there were 180 homes sold in Escondido, an increase of 8% from last month. Average sale prices increased modestly for detached homes but did not shift for attached homes. Buyers were able to negotiate an average of 1 - 3% off their sales price; however, 41% of the homes sold for asking price or more.
11% of the transactions were for cash, compared to 20% last month. Days on market decreased for attached homes (condos, town homes) but went up for detached homes.
The MEDIAN price of the detached homes sold was $612,000 (up 7%), with $320,000 (down 8%) for attached homes compared to last month.
There were 6 Escondido homes (2% of all active properties) on the market with a Contingent status (i.e., in most cases these are short sale or REO homes that have offers being considered by lenders), versus 15 last month; some of these are first right of refusals. These are included in the statistics below.
At the end of July there were 391 homes for sale in Escondido, a drop in inventory, by 3%, from last month, following several months of increases. This represents an inventory of 1.2 months for attached properties (down from 1.9 months last month), and 2.3 months for detached homes (down from 2.4 months last month), based on the current rate of sales over the last 3 months. Escondido remains a very strong seller's market.
In July 260 homes came on the market, a decline in new listings by 9% compared to last month. In contrast, the number of homes going pending (176), excluding homes that closed, increased by 11% from June pendings.

Giovanni Verga was a man with class— he belonged to the landed gentry— but wrote about the common, the low, and the mundane, in a writing style noted for its terse accuracy and intense passion. Called verismo, realism, it became the pattern for the later Neo-Realism school of thought among writers.
Yesterday one preacher saw that realism, one fit for the opera, a stage drama. Could be a Palanca winner of a short story. "La Lupa" in Giovanni Verga's story means she wolf; it is a vignette of one Sicilian life, of the intense mundane passion of that life. Find that story and enjoy reading. In the mountains of Cebu above the village of Bonbon, "La Lupa" is a woman who owns a small chalet on top of a hill, who with her drinking husband also tills three plots of flower farms hugging the hill. Her husband had once attended the preacher's Bible teaching sessions, albeit with his beer mug or a bottle of Vino Kulafu, but "La Lupa" never came in spite of the invitations. Later her husband also stopped coming: The preacher's preaching stood in the way of him and his beer mug.
"La Lupa" is a weary soul but she never gets tired of acquiring things. Their house is a pantheon of modern gadgets, which their two kids enjoy using, but the couple, "La Lupa" and her husband, don't. "La Lupa" goes back to her wandering when opportunity permits, her husband back to his wine.
Early last year they got religion of sorts, the kind born in America and exported to this country. In exchange of the promised capital to finance their flower farms, "La Lupa" and her husband allowed the sect to build a small meeting house beside their chalet on top of the hill. Funds from the sect flowed freely, and attracted the ones whom the preacher's gospel could not, for their visions of a better world are confined within the four corners of their flower plots, while the preacher keeps teaching his congregants to aim high for the promised better world up there.
Late last year they had a bumper crop of Malaysian mumps and other flowers, and because the best price could be had in the Metropolis, the husband shipped their flowers to Manila, rented a stall in the Dapitan area near the Dangwa Tranco terminal.
"La Lupa" hired people to help harvest the flowers, and shipped these to Manila. One young man, whom the preacher had taught the gospel, "La Lupa" had given particular attention to. After the others had gone, this young man stayed, and had dinner with "La Lupa" and her two young girls, eighteen and twenty years old.
At three o'clock in the morning, the gust of cold November winds blowing along the rafters of the unceilinged home, the young man woke up from sleep and fumbled for his jacket and found "La Lupa" sleeping beside him. The young man said he quickly picked up his jacket, as "La Lupa" was calling out softly to him, and rushed to his home which is not so far away. No word was said to the neighbors or to his mother. But he did not come back to work on his pile of flowers. "La Lupa" handed him his pay. No word was said. They must have had a silent agreement that nothing should ever be said.
The husband came back from Manila, his wallets full, and his religion and drinking resumed as usual. But "La Lupa" never returned to the house church beside their house.
"She blames the Bible for all her troubles," says a Christian lady, member of the Lord's church. "Actually that is far from the truth. They have been having troubles even before they got that religion."
This is one instance you could say the Bible becomes the mirror that reflects what "La Lupa" is and what she has been. It tells her she has fallen short of His glory. But the Bible could lead her back to Him and help her regain that glory. In that sect she now has joined, the Word no longer finds meaning in her heart, or her heart refuses to find meaning in the Word. Leaving that sect is her choice. And she did. And her wanderings became a custom, a habit.
"La Lupa" and her wanderings at twilight time was the topic of village conversations, in the privacy of homes scattered on the hillsides, among young men seated on their motorcycles waiting for passengers to ferry down to the city. Young men like these who had heard and seen spoke like real harbingers of bad news, albeit done in hushed voices.
And the couple would argue into the night, their loud rantings at each other diminished only by the complaints of neighbors who sent one honored man in the village to talk to them and help patch up their trouble. It was one trouble that refused to be patched up.
For three evenings last week, the husband had been hiding behind the tall bushes in front of the small hut in the deep forest. Last Friday night, the opportunity came and he caught them.
"La Lupa." The adulteress. We are reminded of what Paul says in 1 Corinthians, about the kind of adultery that is not even common among the Gentiles (1 Corinthians 5:1-2). And this kind of adultery is not even common among the people in this mountain village. For "La Lupa" is a forty-year old she wolf who swallowed a prey twice her age, and he was her nephew!
Last Saturday "La Lupa" and her husband came before the village chief to vent their last bursts of anger at each other, and agreed to separate, she never to come again to the dwelling place that had been her home for twenty years.
The preacher saw the husband yesterday on his way out, sitting under the cherry tree. The preacher waved at him. The husband of "La Lupa," husband no more, in the parlance of the villagers, did not smile but only nodded.
The lesson from 1 Corinthians 5:1ff brings reality home to the Christians in this mountain village. God really means business when it comes to sin. Anyone whose sins have been washed away by His blood shed on Calvary's cross is also justified by that blood and is married to Him who shed His blood for him. And faithfulness to Him who died for you is analogous to faithfulness to one's human vows.
Paul advises the removal of sinning man from the fellowship of the saints. "La Lupa" was removed from both bed and board.
For circumstances like La Lupa's the young men blame the coldness of the mountain weather. The preacher thinks it should be blamed on the lack of Bible teaching if not plain human stupidity.

I have been following Paulina Arcklin on Pinterest for quite some time now and I must say I'm obsessed with her styling.
I adore her unique combination of a fresh/clean feel with a rustic/vintage/ethnic vibe. And her use of textures is amazing! Definitely my kind of style.
Yes please Paulina...my house next!

TOKYO — As part of Japan's 12th annual 24-hour TV event "Eroticism Saves the Earth," twelve Japanese porn starlets "donated" their boobs to be fondled in exchange for a monetary contribution to the cause.
Dubbed "Boob Aid" by fans, the telethon-type event organized by adult channel Sky Perfect TV benefitted the Stop AIDS charity. In exchange a contribution to the charity, fans could fondle the porn star's boobs of their choice.
Starlet Rina Serina told Tokyo Sports newspaper before the event, "I'm really looking forward to lots of people fondling my boobs. I never thought my boobs could contribute to society."
The event's motto — "making a social contribution while enjoying the erotic" — confirmed Serina's assertion.
"It's for charity," adult star Iku Sakuragi said. "Squeeze them, donate money — let's be happy."
According to the Mirror.uk, 2,000 fans showed up and raised more than $24,000.

National Australia Bank said its new social media "break up" campaign has led to an increase of one point in mortgage share in just a couple of months with minimal cost.
National Australia Bank, which has found itself repeatedly explaining and covering for batch processing-driven glitches in its payments and other IT systems over the past year, had some good tech news to report last week. Its microsite attacked its rivals, saying the bank was "breaking up" with them over presumably higher interest rates.
The bank used Twitter, Facebook and YouTube to spread its adversarial message, gaining both buzz and followers. Chris Smith, National Australia Bank's general manager of personal banking, said at a CeBIT tech show in Sydney last week that the bank gained more Twitter followers and Facebook fans as a result of the campaign.
NAB reported a corresponding 50% increase in credit card applications, 20% increase in mortgage applications, 35% increase in queries from other banks' customers and an increase of 1% of mortgage market share — all stemming from a campaign with minimal to no cost for the bank.
Smith said the quick success shows that banks that ignore social media are doing so at their peril.
The bank, which has about 200 IT and marketing professionals working on social media marketing, is moving on to phase two of the "break up" campaign, called "We're Not Popular with the Other Banks," a slogan that will appear on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube — again positioning NAB as a destination for low-cost home loans.

The Bridge II nominated for Specsavers Crime Thriller Award
21st October 2014
Since 2008 the Specsavers Crime Thriller Awards have celebrated the best thriller and crime dramas from worlds of film, television and literature.

In 2012 The Bridge season 1 walked away with the best international series and this year Saga and Martin are back for more. The Bridge II has once again been nominated in the international category but it faces stiff opposition from True Detective, Fargo, Orange is the New Black and Inspector Montalbano.
The awards will take place this Friday 24th October and will be transmitted on ITV 3 one week later. Stay tuned to Nordic Noir to see if The Bridge walked away with the goods.

Thriller writer Jax Miller's debut novel, Freedom's Child earned her high praise for its gritty, emotionally bruising story. Her follow-up, Candyland promises to be even darker. Miller isn't just a writer of crime fiction, though. She's also a lifelong fan of True Crime, and her obsession with one particular unsolved mystery is currently leading her on a road trip into the American heartland and "the dark underbelly of Americana."
Miller is writing a non-fiction book and filming an accompanying documentary, By the Dawn's Early Light, about a double murder in Welch, Oklahoma. In December 1999 Danny and Kathy Freeman were murdered, and their mobile home was set on fire. The Freemans' daughter, 16-year-old Ashley and her best friend, Lauria Bible disappeared the same night, and haven't been seen since. "There are a lot of loose ends to this story," Miller tells me. "There are several serial killers who have confessed to the crime and then recanted. There is talk of a police cover-up. There's a Native American shaman who may be involved. We're covering a broad range of suspects." Miller and her partner, former Philadelphia detective Sarah Cailean, have been researching the cold case for less than six months, and in that time they have been told by the FBI that they have uncovered more than the FBI has in 16 years. Miller and Cailean are currently following up leads in West Virginia, before heading to Oklahoma.

Cordoba, Spain
78 activities
The splendors of the Alhambra, the magnificent fortress that crowns the city, have entranced princes, paupers, and poets for centuries. The golden hillsides, white rooftops, and vistas of the Sierra Nevada still bless Granada (pop. 238,000) today, but the city first blossomed into one of Europe's wealthiest, most culturally advanced cities after being conquered by Muslim armies in AD 711. As Christian armies turned back the tide of Moorish conquest in the 13th century, the city became the last Muslim outpost in Iberia. Fernando and Isabel capitalized on the chaos, capturing Boabdil—Granada's last Moorish ruler—and the Alhambra on the momentous night of January 1, 1492. As Boabdil fled, his mother berated him for casting a longing look back at the Alhambra, saying, "You do well to weep as a woman for what you could not defend as a man."
Although the Christians torched all the mosques and the lower city, embers of Granada's Muslim past still linger. The Albaicín, a maze of Moorish houses and twisting alleys, is Spain's best-preserved Arab quarter and the only part of the Muslim city to survive the Reconquista intact. Since then, Granada has grown into a university town, reveling in throngs of backpackers and Spanish youth. Granada's huge student population gives rise to spirited graffiti, lively tapas bars, and a thriving hippie subculture. A few days will give you a taste of Moorish Spain and Granada's vibrant nightlife, wonderfully rich in tapas and teterías—smoky, aromatic Arabic tea rooms. But do not be surprised if, like Boabdil, you leave longing for more days in this Andalusian gem.
The center of Granada is small Plaza Isabel la Católica, at the intersection of the city's two main arteries, Calle de los Reyes Católicos and Gran Vía de Colón. Just off Gran Vía, you'll find the cathedral; farther down Gran Vía by Pl. de la Trinidad is the university area. Uphill from Pl. Isabel la Católica on C. Reyes Católicos sits Plaza Nueva, and the Alhambra rises on the hill above. From Pl. Nueva, Calle Elvira, lined with bars and eateries, runs parallel to Gran Vía. Downhill, the pedestrian streets off C. de los Reyes Católicos comprise the shopping district.
Today, the Alhambra is one of Spain's most visited sites, and it offers visitors a treasure trove of art history, design, and craftsmanship to explore. But Granada is far from a one-stop destination. The city retains strong elements of its cross-cultural history, from the remnants of the original city walls built by Boabdil to the timeless gypsy barrio of Sacromonte to the Arab neighborhood of El Albaicín.
Plan your perfect trip with our shortlist of top attractions in Granada. Click the links to reserve tickets or local guides.
Granada's cusine, like its art and architecture, reflects the region's Arab influences and draws heavily on the wealth of vegetables, meat, and seafood available in the mountains and shores nearby. Look for classic dishes like "La tortilla del Sacromonte" (an omelette with ham and sweetbreads), "las habas con jamon" (ham and broad beans), and "la pipirrana" (a summery pepper salad).
Sweet delicacies here are often made with almonds and caramelized sugar; popular choices include "la barreta" and "roscos de de San Lázaro" (almond cookies).
You've probably been to a tapas bar, but you might not have known that tapas is not a type of food—it simply refers to the way the food is presented. The bite-sized portions served at the bar are not to be mistaken with appetizers. Spaniards eat tapas most commonly after work, well before dinner, or while just out drinking with friends.
If you're in Spain during the summer, you will most likely end up getting gazpacho, a chilled tomato soup. One thicker variety of gazpacho is salmorejo; think of it as the delicious lovechild of normal tomato soup and traditional gazpacho.
No matter what you eat, your primary goal in Spain should probably to get your hands (and tongue) on some jamón ibérico. In simple terms, it's Spanish ham. But there is so much more to it than that. The ibérico pigs are treated like royalty, allowed to roam the countryside stuffing their fat faces with acorns for two years. After being butchered, the ham is salted and cured for two years, during which time it loses at least 20% of its weight and gains about 400% of its monetary value. Make it your life goal to find some of that thinly sliced piece of heaven.
Sangria is Spain's drink much the same way that a vodka Red Bull is America's—it gets you drunk, and most people would never drink it in the light of day. It's made by mixing wine with fruit juice and whatever cheap liquor one can easily acquire. Usually it's rum, bourbon, and whiskey. Yes, we meant to say "and," not "or." Think of it as the Spanish version of frat boy punch. Another way to utilize bad wine? Tinto de verano—"red wine of summer." Just take the old/cheap/bad-tasting wine you have/found/made and mix it with some lemon soda. Mix it with Coke, and you have a kalimotxo. The hotter the day, the more mixer you use, and you've got yourself a refreshing summer drink.
If beer is more your thing, Spain isn't famous for its selection. Most bars will just have one beer on tap, and it will most likely be a Mahou, though Cruzcampo and San Miguel are also popular.
Situated at the crossroads between Western Europe and Africa, Andalucía is steeped in thousands of years of cultural heritage. Its intoxicating mix of Roman, Moorish, and gitano cultures can be found not only in Granada but in the tiniest mountain villages of the Alpujarras. Andalucía has no single image: Roman ruins, monumental churches, medieval castles, sun-drenched beaches, snowy peaks, orange trees, and shimmering silver olive groves all have their place. But while Andalucía is far more than a stereotype, it is also home to Spain's most notorious icons. Bullfighting, sherry, and flamenco are all andaluz, and the region celebrates holidays and festivals like Semana Santa (Holy Week) and Carnaval with famously wild abandon.
The ancient kingdom of Tartessus grew wealthy off the Sierra Nevada's rich ore deposits, and the Greeks and Phoenicians established colonies and traded up and down the coast. The Romans cultivated wheat, olive oil, and wine from the fertile soil watered by the Guadalquivir, and in the 5th century AD, the Vandals passed through on their way to North Africa, leaving little more than a name—Vandalusia (House of the Vandals). The Moors, in control under various dynasties from 711 until 1492, had the most enduring influence, forming lasting ties to Africa and the Islamic world. They preserved and perfected Roman architecture, creating the distinctive Andalusian patio, furthered industry and technology, and developed the region's greatest cities. Granada reached the pinnacle of Islamic art and scholarship in these centuries, and the Alhambra is a prime example.
Through the turbulent 20th century, Andalucía retained its strength and solidarity—the region was one of the last strongholds against Franco during the Civil War. Many residents still describe themselves as Andalusian before Spanish and proudly draw from the melange of cultures that first made the region famous.
World-famous poet and dramatist, Granada's Federico García Lorca is finally receiving his due. His poetry, full of olive groves, lemons, gypsies, Moors, and bullfighters, brought images of passionate Andalusia to the world. But upon the outbreak of civil war in 1936, Lorca was arrested by Franco's Nationalist forces and killed near the hilltop town of Alfácar, northeast of Granada, following the outbreak of the civil war. As Lorca was both a known homosexual and a socialist-leaning public figure, the motivations for his murder—social, political, or personal—remain controversial to this day.
Romanesque architecture is characterized by semicircular arches, heavy stone walls with small windows, and simple interiors; many of the most austerely beautiful spaces in Spain are in this style. Gothic architecture is probably a bit more familiar—pointed arches, huge stained-glass windows, and the famous flying buttresses. Though there is some overlap, Romanesque architecture generally precedes Gothic, with the transition occurring in around the 13th or 14th centuries in most places.
As conquering Christian forces drove south, the Spanish adopted many aspects of Islamic architecture and incorporated it into a new hybrid style called the mudéjar style. This originated on the Castilian plain, most likely in the town of Sahagún, and spread all across the regions of Castile and Aragon. Some chief characteristics of this style are intricate, patterned brickwork as the chief material, with some Islamic-inspired ornaments and motifs, including glazed tile or azulejo.
It's probably best to fully adapt to "Spanish time," or you might end up missing out on most of what Spain has to offer. Besides the little things, like being 15-20min. late for meetings or events, the Spanish basically overhaul their entire day's schedule to better fit their night-owl lifestyle. A prime example: meals. Lunches don't happen before 1pm; most occur around 2pm and are usually followed by a siesta, during which most businesses will close. As for the evening, Spain is not constrained by any of the Puritan influences that Americans have to deal with—nothing closes at 2am and you can buy alcohol well after 11pm (looking at you, Boston).
How does this work, you might wonder? Let us walk you through a normal day. Wake up around 9am and eat a light breakfast. Work until lunch around 2pm, take a siesta, then head back to work from around 4 or 5pm until 8 or 9pm. Dinner is usually around 10 or 11pm. For the younger crowd, the bars only get interesting around midnight or 1am, and clubs only around 2 or 3am. Dance until 5 or 6am, stumble home to your bed, and get ready to wake up and do it all over again.
You've probably realized by now that Spain is a pretty divided country, meaning that Spaniards have a huge sense of pride in their home neighborhoods and regions. In fact, many of them would probably be pretty insulted that we keep writing "Spaniards." Consider them Catalans/Basques/Andalusians/Romani/Madrileños first and Spaniards second. Another tip? Avoid discussing the Spanish Civil War unless you know for sure which side the family of the person to whom you are speaking was on. Same goes for soccer. Unless you know with certainty that your audience is full of Barça supporters, you might want to hold off on describing that recent goal in excruciating detail.
