Meet our YogaNation Team!
Dawn Burvill - Co-Owner of YogaNation Ltd.
- 200 Hour YTT completed with Baron Baptise Power Vinyasa Yoga, Art of Assisting through Baptiste Power Yoga, 20 hour Power Yoga Canada kids YTT, Calgary Hot Yoga 100 hour YTT, 20 Hour Yoga Athletes Teacher Training (YATT), Yoga Alliance accredited
I began my yoga journey quite by accident. I had spent over 10 years working out at the gym- running, weights, cross fit, kettle bells, you name it, and I even competed in a fitness competition. My running coach suggested I try yoga to ease some of the pain and gain some flexibility while I was training for a half marathon. The first moment I stepped on my mat, I was hooked! I had started to become burnt out at the gym and it was like fate was taking me in another direction. I become immersed in this magical practice called yoga. I had to find out more! And that day, 3 years ago led me here. YogaNation.
I took my first yoga teacher training with Calgary Hot Yoga and after that I decided that I wanted to learn how to become a more powerful teacher through the guidance of Baron Baptiste and Baptiste Power Yoga. I have completed my Level One training in Arizona, My level 2 training in Texas, my Art of Assisting in Ontario and my PYC kids teacher training in Ontario. I am in the process of becoming a certified Baptiste Instructor. And I want to keep on learning and growing as a teacher as well as a practitioner. I love this practice because it's for real people. Real people with everyday struggles. It is not just for fancy, bendy or trendy people , because I am definitely not fancy, bendy or trendy! It is for everybody. It is for people who want to feel better about themselves, and want to be happier, stronger and more free in their bodies and their lives. This is what I have learned through this amazing journey - a good life is all about loving, laughing and having faith in the universe.
Fun/Interesting Fact(s) about Dawn:
- She is left handed but only eats and writes with her left hand! Everything else she does is right handed.
- Her first class she ever went to was taught by Zan Van Brunshot and she was hooked! Zan is the reason why Dawn wanted to teach in the first place and now she is so fortunate to work along side with Zan.
- She loves Guns N' Roses! If you drive with her, you will hear it. If you run with her, you will hear it. When you come to her classes, you will hear it. Most times, you will get a bad ass air guitar concert.
- She loves anything licorice or candy related. Its the way to her heart.
Justina Waschuk - Co-Owner of YogaNation Ltd.
- 200 Hours YTT completed with Baron Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga, Art of Assisting through Baptiste Power Yoga, 50 hour Yin YTT, Calgary Hot Yoga 100 hour YTT, 20 Hour Yoga Athletes Teacher Training (YATT)
It brings me so much exhilaration to introduce YogaNation Ltd into the community of Red Deer. The inspiration that led my yoga partner, Dawn, and I to open our own studio is for the opportunity to serve others by sharing our knowledge, passion and personal experience of yoga to all of you!
My story begins at a young age. Growing up as an athlete, the idea of fitness and healthy living has always been a great part of my life. With 12 years of competitive gymnastics and several other sports under my belt, the intensity and stress that sports have put on my body brought awareness to the fact that the human body is not invincible. That realization was a hard pill to swallow, but it has changed how I nurture my physical body and well-being for the better. Being physically fit is important to me, so finding an activity that was less stressful on my body yet still challenged me immensely was important to find.
Fortunately, in 2010 the world showed me yoga and from the first time I rolled out my mat in a hot yoga studio, my love for the practice became instantaneous. As the heat and sweat brought warmth to my body, tension in my muscles and joints became more opened and relaxed. The focus that is required of my body and mind challenges me to concentrate on my breath, balance and strength through each movement of the asana practice. As my yoga practice grew, I was inspired to discover different forms of yoga; anywhere from an intense power vinyasa flow to a restorative yin class. Yoga is more than just a practice to me; it's a road that led me to finding my true authentic self on and off my mat.
My strong passion, curiosity and belief in yoga has transformed me into the yoga instructor that I am today. The positive aspects behind the practice are endless. Through my own personal practice as well as witnessing dedicated yoga practitioner transformations, I have seen improvements of self-awareness, self-acceptance, increased strength, flexibility and balance. Personally, Yoga has helped me find ease, comfort and strength in my heart and soul. Having the opportunity to watch students evolve and embrace yoga is what brings me to love what I do. Through my classes, I teach from a place of love and connection to cultivate a safe atmosphere that is authentic, energy-rich, creative and FUN, leaving students to embrace their own journey into possibility, true authenticity and empowerment. Yoga is your mind and body's inquiry for learning and discovering new things about yourself!
Be the Light that Lies Within You, For Each and Everyone of Us is Born to SHINE! Namaste.
Fun/Interesting Fact(s) about Justina:
- Her second favourite thing to do next to yoga is travel. She loves to explore and learn about new cultures and their way of being. Traveling, like yoga, is a never ending journey into self discovery.
- She loves all styles of music, particularly Rock n' Roll- so she digs Dawn's love for Guns N' Roses! She grew up listening to Classic Rock and still loves to jam to all the classics- not to mention going to their concerts. BIG concert junky right here!
Jenn Paolinelli
- 200 Hour YTT- SOYA, 85 Hour Prenatal YTT- Mamata Yoga
My yoga journey started during my first pregnancy in 2010, as I was looking to reduce stress from my busy lifestyle and stressful job. I loved how relaxed I would feel and the sense of peace that came over me during and after class. After I had my daughter, I began to practice hot yoga on a regular basis and I was hooked! I was so surprised at how quickly my practice was developing in such a short time. I had found my passion, and myself. My mat was exactly where I was supposed to be. I then decided to take the 200 hour teacher training program with South Okanagan Yoga Academy in May of 2013, and am so grateful for the experience and the amazing friends I have met along the way. It reconnected me with spirituality, and a greater appreciation for life. There is so much to be thankful for!
This May, at 32 weeks pregnant with my second daughter, I completed my 85 hour prenatal yoga teacher training with Mamata Yoga. I learned more than I had ever expected and can't wait to share my experiences and knowledge with all the pregnant ladies out there!
I love that yoga challenges me to step outside of my comfort zone and the endless possibilities. You can never perfect yoga, it is a continual journey. I am so excited for the opportunity to live my dream of sharing yoga with others and growing as a student myself.
Kim Small
YA 200 HR RYT through Baron Baptise Power Vinyasa Yoga, Art of Assisting through Baptiste Power Yoga
I grew up on a Farm/Ranch in Southern Saskatchewan and have a huge appreciation for my roots. I was always very active and had an interest in the human body and it's capabilities. In the past I worked in Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation, but hadn't done much yoga. That all changed a couple years ago when I went with an open mind to my very first "hot" class. I had no idea what I was getting myself into, but came out of that class with this incredible glow and not just from the sweat pouring down my body. That one class honestly changed my life. Yoga wasn't just another "physical" thing, it became this whole new mind altering, spiritual experience. Yoga has given me a whole new perspective of life off the mat and reminds me every day to be grateful for my many blessings. The main ones being my amazing husband and two beautiful daughters. After a couple years of consistent practice and workshops, I was able to attend Level One 100 Hour Baron Baptiste Power Yoga Teacher Training in Sedona, Arizona June 2014. I have this incredible love of yoga practice and now a new love for teaching yoga. I look forward to learning and growing on this journey with my fellow teachers, practitioners and community. Nothing beats a room full of strong, shining yogis, on their mats, challenging, inspiring and sharing in this beautiful practice.
Fun/Interesting fact(s) about Kim:
- She spent Her childhood riding horses and helping on the family farm
- Sheena Piel, a current instructor at YogaNation, taught her very first yoga class and is forever grateful to her
- She has two daughters who are complete tom-boys....hockey, baseball, bikes and superheroes
- She has a crazy weakness for "gummie" candies
- She lives in yoga clothes. If she wears a dress or even throws on a pair of jeans it's a "big deal"

Hi! I'm Rae.
To point out the obvious, I love all things yoga. I love the body, and all it's power, the mind and it's never ending ability, I love the soul and all it's softness, green smoothies, the beautiful mountains and above all else God, our Creator.
Yoga has helped me and continues to help me create a life I love. It's helped me recognize and honour that it's is our choice, to choose happiness and through that choice that happiness is attainable in every single moment of this life. As I am inspired daily by the possibility yoga brings through physical practice and awareness, my intention is to inspire others to find that possibility and thus create a life for themselves that is filled with passion confidence, self love, and community. My goal that I am working towards is to continue my training through the Baptiste institute and become a Baptiste certified instructor.
I am forever grateful for the health of my body mind and soul , a gift that should never go unnoticed.
I look forward to growing with you as a teacher, student and studio.
Much love , Rae

- She Married her best friend and high school sweetheart of seven years! They have been together since grade 10 Math class…. If our calculations are correct, she may be our youngest instructor on team YogaNation!

Zan Van Brunschot
200 Hour YTT/100 Hour Assisting/Adjusting with Vijay Amar Dynamic/Ashtanga Yoga, 500 Hour YTT with Senior Iyengar Yoga Teacher Karin O'Bannon at Parmath Nikitan Ashram in Rishikesh, India, 200 Hour Iyengar Yoga TT at Pankaj Sharma in Rishikesh, India, 600 Hour Usha Devi Iyengar Yoga at Omkarananda Ganga Sedan Ashram in Rishikesh, Indian
In terms of style, students can expect the strength and challenge of Power, the alignment of Iyengar with the grace of Flow. As a teacher, I believe in sharing my heart, my passion and love of Yoga and its generous plethora of benefits. When I begin the class, I open my heart and it all just flows from there. That being said, inspiration comes to me from many sources, the elements, the beauty of nature, the inexplicable splendor of the ocean.... And from witnessing the growth and transformation of yogis I am fortunate enough to share energy with.
Fitness to me for many years was punctuated with failed commitments to go to the gym, lifting weights and running on treadmills. It always felt mindless and shallow for me, and could never hold my attention for more than a few months at a time.
When I discovered yoga it was like a breath of fresh air, it somehow all made sense, naturally resonated with the 'me' I was at the time, but especially the 'me' I aspired to become. Yoga entered my life in 1998. It was just something I decided to try one day, and it fit so well that I cannot imagine my life without it. Yoga has been my constant companion ever since, and has rescued me over and over again. The most amazing attribute was that it never bored me, the more I practiced the more I discovered, the more I discovered the more I broadened my horizons. The potential is limitless. I needed to share this remarkable life enhancer, so I decided to become an instructor.
In 2004 I dedicated an entire year to learning to TEACH yoga, to take it beyond my own personal private experience to a level of sharing my love and joy of asana and beyond. I went to the source, to Mother India, to study with different styles and traditions of this ancient practice. I discovered so much about the tradition and even more about myself. It was love at first sight, and has continued to be my delight. Nothing gives me the same kind of feeling than sharing a yoga class with others. It's the ultimate gift, for it gives both ways equally. When I began teaching in 2005, I quickly realized that the learning never ends, everyday my students teach me how to teach them. It is such a rewarding dance...such an easy thing to share! This practice centers, grounds, releases, heals, and illuminates my life. All that is required is that I show up and dedicate myself to the discipline of being present and aware.
I hope that my classes reflect a love for alignment, a down to earthiness and accessible to all. I strive to teach multi-level classes with modifications for beginners and more complex variations for the seasoned practitioner. Students can expect clarity and precision in my cuing or at the very least; perhaps and new and interesting perspective on a familiar posture. A yoga teacher's job is guiding you: Guide+ Dance = Guidance. We share energy and a sense of community every time we dance together!
Being part of this Yoga Community, working with such dedicated and passionate individuals who care so deeply gives me such pride!
It is, indeed, a privilege to be a small part of such a big YOGA HEART.
Fun/Interesting Fact(s) about Zan:
- She has struggled all her life with Left and Right. When she first began teaching she considered getting big L's and R's on her feet and hands, but decided against it. Thankfully Yoga fixed that for her!
Alaynne West-Tweten
- Calgary Hot Yoga 100 hour YTT, Power Yoga Canada 20 hour Kids YTT
Yoga encompasses mind, body and spirit like nothing else I have ever done in my life. After years of pushing myself in the gym lifting weights, running, pushing myself to the extreme and in the rat race of the corporate world, I found myself on my mat. Yoga has opened my mind to see the world differently, people differently and myself in an honest, accepting and more loving way. My first yoga class was lend by the amazing Grace Little in Innisfail about 20 years ago. I remember the feeling of letting go of the mind and taking my body to where she instructed us to. I remember the bursts of energy I felt. This brought me to my mat time and time again but not on a consistent basis, my "monkey mind" couldn't calm enough, I felt I needed a "harder" workout. About five years ago pregnancy brought me to my mat on a more consistent basis, especially in the final trimester. This regular practice allowed for more peace in my mind, body and soul.
Ah the love of HOT yoga! I certainly did not need to look for a more "intense" workout! The heat allows the joints to open and the muscles are then ready to receive the benefits of the practice. Once the body opens up the mind becomes free, and you are ready to transform. My journey has brought more mindfulness to my everyday being, more love and gratitude for my life, my husband and four amazing children!
Natural healing has always been an interest of mine and I love learning the ways of the past cultures and natural healers that have graced our earth before us. Loving what Young Living Therapeutic Grade Essential oils have done for me and my family, you may even smell them in one of my classes ;) Growth is never ending, I am committed to learning through workshops, classes and training, taking my knowledge to another level so that I can share this with you.
I feel so blessed to be part of the YogaNation Red Deer team! Come on over and get your yoga glow on!
"Yoga is a light, which once lit, will never dim. The better your practice, the brighter the flame." ~B.K.S. Iyengar
Fun/Interesting Fact(s) about Alaynne:
- She is 1822.45mm tall!
- She loves music with a huge appreciation for blues and jazz!
Carey Smiley
100 Hours Power Flow YTT with Sid Yoga, 32 hours Yin YTT with Nicole Schulz
After moving to Red Deer in 2010 and not knowing anyone in the community, I became somewhat of a homebody. My husband suggested I try a yoga class, as we are both health and fitness minded people and I was looking for something I could become passionate about. After resisting his urging me on (for at least a couple years!), I reluctantly went to my first yoga class in an actual "yoga studio". As I lay in my very first Savasana, with tears streaming down the side of my face, I was hooked and in love with yoga! I was angry at myself for resisting it for so long- THIS was what I NEEDED on so many levels. I began trying a few of the different classes offered at the studio and when an old acquaintance sent me a message, telling me I should try out hot yoga, again my reluctance and fear of the unknown came forward. Would I be able to handle the heat, would I embarrass myself? But, I went for it, and again, I instantly fell in love. I tried to attend every yoga class I could possibly get to. I have a full time job, a husband and FIVE children, but I NEEDED to make time for yoga. When teacher training was offered in Red Deer, I had to go. I love that yoga is a constant evolution. We continue to grow and I love sharing my passion for yoga with the people I've practiced beside, and have had the privilege of guiding through a practice. Expanding our minds, bodies, connection and growth is a beautiful thing. The possibilities are endless, and I've found a peace within myself that I never knew existed. I love to discuss yoga with anyone who will listen and encourage them to embark upon their own journey or continue on the one they've already started.
Nicola Boist
200HR YTT- SOYA, 35Hr YTT Yin-Micheal Taylor, 30Hr YTT Restorative-Yoga for Today, Kids Teacher Training-Rainbow Kids Yoga, AFLCA-Alberta Fitness Leadership Certification Association-Mind Body, choreography, Cycling, Ever Active kids, Portable training. TRX-Group suspension.
Nicola discovered yoga years ago when she was looking for a change. She wasn't sure what she wanted or needed or if she would even like it. Yoga was life changing for her. It grounded her mentally, physically and spiritually. From there it fostered into a love and eventually that love moved her into changing her entire life.
A 35hrYin teacher training was the first of a few trainings Nicola would take. After completing that it was time for the full teacher training. Graduating with the upmost of prestige with her 200hrRYT from SOYA (South Okanagan Yoga Academy) she started teaching in and around central Alberta. But that wasn't enough for Nicola. She needed more so that she could reach out and effect more people with her love and desire for yoga. So then it was off to Victoria B.C. for her Rainbow Kids Teacher Training. Such a fun and innovative way to show children how awesome yoga is!! But for the bad backers like herself or the person who just needs a place to come to release and relax a 30hrRYT in Restorative yoga was in order. Another avenue to be able to share her love of what has helped and changed her life in so many ways.
Nicola brings a fun and challenging but unpretentious vibe to her classes. You will work hard and have fun doing it. No one said yoga was easy but no one said you couldn't have fun while working hard. Nicola encourages you to follow your own breath and honor what your body is asking of you. Namaste
Fun and Interesting Facts:
-Nicola also teaches group fitness classes at Only Women's Fitness, RD
-She was born in South Africa
-Travelling is a big deal and is special time to be spent with her daughter Emersen
Freda Lundberg
- YA, AYC (Yoga Alliance, Ashtanga Yoga Canada)
I started practicing yoga when I was pregnant with my first child who is now 4. I just did prenatal yoga and instantly fell in love with it. The class only ran one a week, but every day I would look forward to this class. After my child was born, I continued practicing yoga and began practicing three or four days a week. I loved trying different styles of yoga which included Ashtanga, Bikram, Moksha, Kundhilini, Yin, Power, Hot, and not-Hot.
The first time I tried Ashtanga, I knew from that moment that I stumbled upon something amazing. It was life changing for me. I took a yoga philosophy class first learning about the Ashtanga system (8 Limbs) even before I learned Ashtanga vinyasa. After that class was completed I started practicing Ashtanga vinyasa and from there my love affair with yoga grew. I devoted my life to the practice, sacrificing many things, but truly felt it was worth it. Ashtanga is the only practice I've ever done that put a mirror in front of my face. Everything I was "off the mat" would appear "on the mat". When I found myself stumbling on my mat, I knew I had things in my life I had to balance.Ashtanga never let me escape from difficult postures. It paid no sympathy for me when I was frustrated with a posture. It helped me learn the difference between an opening and an injury. Because Ashtanga yoga is derived from the Yoga Sutras, it made me dig deeper into the philosophy. "Yogas citta vritti nirodhah" (1.2) is something my teachers always said. It was the reason why we practice and the reason why I will always continue the practice. When you get to know me, you will see and understand why I love Ashtanga so much. It was the reason why I became a teacher.

My munchkins eat well, though they may not know it. They play hard. And their Momma knows that a well rested Momma is a better Momma. Welcome to our world!
Friday, December 10, 2010
I love ratatouille and the boys will eat it after they've seen that little Disney rat making it! Yes, I do feel comfortable bribing my kids with movie time if it will get them to eat their vegetables.
1 eggplant
1 bell pepper, I used red because I love the color
1-2 yellow squash
1-2 zucchini
1 tomato
1 6 oz can of tomato paste
1 16 oz can of tomato sauce
1 Tbsp oregano
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tsp salt
grated Parmesan cheese, to taste
Heat the oven to 350F.
Cut the eggplant, bell pepper, and tomato into 1/2 inch pieces. Cut the zucchini and yellow squash in half longways and then cut into 1/4 inch slices. Put all of the vegetables into a 9x13 dish.
Mix the tomato paste, tomato sauce, oregano, garlic, and salt in a bowl. Pour the tomato mixture over the vegetables and then stir it all up to get the sauce on all of the pieces of vegetable.
Bake for 30 minutes.
Top with Parmesan cheese.

text: I dunno if any of you guys realize this, but the gbamp can do what the supercard and m3 does, but no as good. Check it out, I got the news from "GBA The Movie Way" site: http://gbatmw.net/index.php?topic=695.0 Here's the info from Ruegore: Here's the news you've all been waiting for: You can now play commercial Nintendo DS ROMs on your $25 GBA Movie Players! Okay here's the deal. Apparently, a group called "Triforce" took a look at the Max Media Player, and found that it is in fact a COPY of the GBA Movie Player, only tweaked a bit so that it wouldn't work on a real GBAMP. Datel also released a "third-party" warez loader, of which was then cracked and now fully works on a GBAMP, which means you too can now play commercial NintendoDS ROMs on your GBA Movie Player. Here's the NFO from the release, well worth a read: trf-momp.nfo And the cracked patcher: http://www.rapidshare.de/files/26994793/trf-momp.zip.html Here's a compatability list: http://derzippi.de.funpic.de/ Follow the discussion that's been going on here: http://gbatmw.net/index.php?topic=684.0 Edit: I can confirm this does indeed work. I have Metroid Prime Hunters fully working, saves and all, no noticable lag. Some roms do not work though, and some are not patchable. I'm not even sure if there will be any support for this to get newer ROMs working, so don't expect this to be your primary backup solution! *If repost, sorry I tried searching but nothing came up, also does this mean it can play gba advance games or just DS only?

|Performance Opportunities
To see more about our Nutcracker visit our Nutcracker site: http://nutcracker.fisherballet.com
About Fisher Ballet Productions "The Nutcracker"
Every December, Fisher Ballet Productions stages the Nutcracker for local communities in Connecticut. Our Nutcracker is a full-length ballet performance for the whole community. Students from Fisher Ballet and from other studios are invited to audition for the production. The aim of our productions is to give dance students the opportunity to experience performing in a ballet and to inspire their interest in the art-form of ballet. At the same time, we hope to give the community the opportunity to see a full-length ballet. We also aim to help the dance community in general by giving work to professional dancers and by giving publicity to local dance studios. Dance students who participate do NOT need to be ballet dancers as there are roles for students that do not require a lot of ballet technique. We invite dance students from all studios in the area to participate. Students represent their studio and their studio will be listed as a participating school in the program. Fisher Ballet manages all the details of theater rental, drops, choreography, costumes, and rehearsals.
Rehearsals are extremely important! Students wishing to be in the Nutcracker must be aware that they are making a commitment to make rehearsals a priority. Rehearsals generally take place on Sunday afternoon. Some large group dances or solos might occasionally be scheduled Saturday by mutual convenience. We do understand however that people may have scheduling conflicts and we do our best to have a flexible rehearsal schedule that can work around most difficulties. Tech & Dress Rehearsals will take place during the week before the performance and are mandatory.
Participation fee for the Nutcracker is a non-refundable $130 per student and goes to help defray the costs of space rental, staff costs, costume costs, props and sets, etc. The participation fee covers participation in the 8-12 weeks of rehearsals, in which students will learn not only choreography but about performing. Students attend a casting audition to determine role(s) in the show. Being in the Nutcracker teaches students about part of the Classical Ballet Repertoire, about team work, about performance, about the art of ballet, and about perseverance. Many of our students have reported an increased interest in learning ballet after participating in the Nutcracker and all loved being in the show! All costumes for the Nutcracker are provided. Students need only supply make-up, leotards, tights/leggings and shoes.
If you are a studio who would like to host the Nutcracker at your studio, please contact me over the spring or summer!
Visit our Nutcracker Promotional Website to see more about our most recent production!
What is involved in hosting the Nutcracker at my studio?
Hosting the Nutcracker involves very little from you. Hosting the Nutcracker is free. We pay for all production costs. All we need is to use your studio for rehearsals on Sundays, and the involvement of those of your students who wish to participate. You do not need to be at the studio during rehearsals, though you can if you wish to be.
My students don't do a lot of ballet, can I still host the Nutcracker?
Absolutely! One of our aims is to give students like yours the opportunity to experience ballet. We have lots of roles that do not require much ballet training if any. We audition to the community at large, so we will be able to fill in our other roles with other dancers with more ballet training.
What is the time commitment for rehearsals?
Allow about 1 hour per week per role. Most dancers like to have three roles in the production. Some have more, and some have less. All rehearsals take place Sunday afternoon.
My child has soccer practice (or some other event) Sunday afternoon, can they be in Nutcracker?
We ask parents to fill in time conflicts on the audition form and when we schedule rehearsals we will try our best to schedule around everyone's conflicts so that they can make it to rehearsal.
My child received an understudy role in addition to her other roles. What does this mean?
We assign an understudy role to a dancer whom we believe is close to being able to do the role in question and who we would like to learn the role. Frequently, an understudy will end up performing the role because sometimes other dancers are unable to perform for one reason or another. It happens more often than you might think! Even if your dancer does not perform the role this year, it usually means they will get the role the following year because we know that they have learned it and have seen that they can do it. Your dancer should come to all rehearsals that they are understudy for and should practice the dance full-out in the back or at the side of the studio. They will also be sometimes subbed in for another dancer so that they get the chance to practice it with the group.

Top each bread slice with some steamed spinach and a fried egg. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Serve.

Citation Edit
Oracle America, Inc. v. Google, Inc., 872 F.Supp.2d 974 (N.D. Cal. 2012) (full-text), rev'd and remanded, 750 F.3d 1339 (Fed. Cir. 2014) (full-text).
Factual Background Edit
Oracle accuses Google of infringing some of Oracle's Java-related copyrights in portions of Google's Android software program. These specific accusations are regarding 12 code files and 37 specifications for application programming interface (API) packages. The Java technology and the basics of object-oriented programming were explained in the claim construction order. An overview of APIs and their role in Java and Android are as follows.
Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). An API allows software programs to communicate with each other. It is a set of definitions controlling how the services of a particular program can be summoned, including what types of input the program must be given and what kind of output will be returned.
APIs are usually made of "methods" or "functions," which are software programs that perform particular services. Methods must be defined before usage, by stating its name and describing its argument(s) and return(s) according to syntax conventions. Once a method has been declared, it can be documented and implemented. Documentation is not a code; it is a reference item providing programmers with information about the method, its requirements, and its use. Implementation is a code that actually tells the computer how to carry out the method. Multiple implementations are likely for a given method.
Java and Android. Java and Android are both complex software platforms with several components. Java programming has been made freely available for use by anyone without charge; both sides agree on this. Oracle alleges that other aspects of the Java platform, such as the virtual machine and class libraries, however, are protected by patents and copyrights.
The Android platform uses the Java programming language, thereby allowing software developers who already use the Java language to continue using the same language to write programs for Android. Opposed to Java, the Android platform uses the Dalvik virtual machine instead of the Java virtual machine, provides Android class libraries, and has other non-Java features. While the Java platform has been used primarily on desktop computers, it has also been used on cell phones and other mobile computing devices. Android, however, was designed specifically for use on mobile devices. Java and Android are competitors in the market for mobile computing software.
Oracle alleged that Android was an unauthorized and incompatible Java implementation. Some programs written for the Java platform will not run properly on the Android platform, even though both use the Java language. Some programs written for the Android platform will not run properly on the Java platform, although they are written in the Java language. Oracle alleges that this so-called breakup weakens Oracle by decreasing Java's appeal to software developers.
Trial Court Proceedings Edit
The parties agreed that the jury would decide infringement, fair use, and whether any copying was de minimis, while the district judge would decide copyrightability and Google's equitable defenses. The district court did not order a new trial when the jury hung on Google's fair use defense because the district judge concluded that the elements of the API packages that Google had copied, including their declaring code and their structure, sequence and organization, were not subject to copyright protection. Oracle appealed the district judge's finding regarding copyrightability, and asked the court of appeals to also rule that Google's use was not fair.
Appellate Court Proceedings Edit
The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit found that the API packages and those packages' structure, sequence and organization were subject to copyright protection. The court then remanded the case to the district court for consideration of the fair use issues. In doing so, however, the court did comment on a few aspects of the fair use issues in the case, noting that it was undisputed that Google's use of the API packages was commercial but that there was disagreement about whether Google's use was transformative. The court also observed that the considerations it reviewed relating to the functional aspects of the packages and interoperability that are relevant to copyrightability may also be relevant to a fair use analysis. Additionally, regarding market impact, the court noted that there were material facts in dispute as to whether both parties had successfully entered the relevant market or not.

1. Save all the files in Eclipse if it is open.
2. Go to your mcp folder.
3. Run recompile.bat or .sh
4. Run reobfuscate_srg
5. Go to the reobf folder in MCP
6. Make a zip of your mod folder which should be inside of the minecraft folder.
7. Add the textures from assets/yourmodname_yourname (so make sure there is a assets folder in the .zip) if you have any textures.
8. Add mcmod.info if you have one.
9. You are ready to go. Paste the .zip in the mods folder of a Minecraft with forge and it should work.
An example of a released mod with texture, code and mcmod.info here.

This Life of Productivity tip is a bit of a departure from some of those I've been looking at recently, but I've been looking forward to exploring it –
Paint your office the right color. Science says you should paint a room blue to stimulate your mind, yellow to stimulate your emotions, red to stimulate your body, and green to stimulate a sense of balance.
– partly because this interview is pretty fascinating; partly because I like the fact that it justifies my decision to paint my office yellow (this was a coincidence. I wasn't trying to stimulate my creative side; I just painted every room in my flat a different colour, because it was the first time I'd ever lived on my own and I'd always wanted to do it); and partly because I wonder if constantly being surrounded by the colour red (leaflets, Jeff Smith posters, all my clothes) is having any effect on me. Here's what the ALOP interview has to say about red:
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met
But loving him was red
Loving him was red
…my apologies, that's Taylor Swift. Here's what the interview says:
If you want to be more productive doing something physical, red would make you more productive than either blue or yellow, because it stimulates you physically. If you're hiring a bunch of guys to build you a house, for example, "blue isn't going to be a lot of help to you – you want the red for physical strength and stimulus".
Hmm. Is that why we associate the colour red with 'Labour'? …probably not. But it does mean our office environment (though chilly) should be encouraging everyone to get out there pounding the pavements…

Vegan Recipes With Shirataki Noodles LINK http://linkson.de/intro/veganrecipes Vegan Recipes With Shirataki Noodles – Is it true that you are wild about spaghetti, pasta, and noodles? Do you have an adoration/abhor relationship on the grounds that they make you feel weighed down? On the other hand perhaps you simply wish you could discover an option that is without gluten, low carb, and speedy? While something like ramen noodles get ready quick, they are normally exceptionally undesirable. They're super high in sodium, fat, and calories.
That being said, have you found out about Shirataki noodles? The vegan recipes with shirataki noodles are produced using yams, and are otherwise called "white waterfall noodles". They are practically bland, however the considerable thing is that they tackle whatever flavor you season them with! You can utilize them as a part of any way you would utilize other pasta noodles. In tomato sauce, in a curry sauce, in a ramen noodle soup, in a pan fry, the conceivable outcomes are huge! Since they are likewise comprised of around 97% water, they typically just contain around 20 calories every serving, or 40 calories every pocket. Notwithstanding them being for the most part water, I discover shirataki noodles to be very filling. I appreciate including a halthy serving of vegetables, with the last quarter of my feast made up of the noodles, since it they aren't extremely supplement thick. When its all said and done, I need to verify I'm consuming basically high-supplement nourishments.
These miracles can normally be found in a plastic pocket at your market. The pocket is loaded with a fluid, which you empty out before you utilize the noodles. They can regularly be found in the Asian segment of grocery stores, however some are in the refrigerated area and different sorts frequently beauty the racks. Shirataki noodles are now cooked, so you should do nothing more than empty them and provide for them a decent wash.
Making the Shirataki Noodles Have a More "Pasta-Like" Consistency
In the event that you would like your noodles to have a more pasta-like consistency, you can attempt dry simmering them, by playing them on a non-stick skillet for a couple of minutes on medium-high hotness.
Various types of Shirataki Noodles
You can get without gluten yam shirataki noodles, and also vegan noodles. Some are plain, however you can likewise get others that contain herbs, flavors, spinach, and different flavors. You can likewise discover vegan pasta noodles, heavenly attendant hair, spaghetti and even rice-style shirataki.
Actually, no, they don't taste precisely the same. It is more like spaghetti squash. In the event that you have ever attempted spaghetti squash as an option to spaghetti, you'll know it is not precisely the same. The same seems to be accurate for vegan pasta, in the event that you utilize a spiralizer to make spaghetti-like noodles out of a zucchini. Some individuals may be put off by the change in surface, however in the event that you are liberal and don't worry about it not tasting precisely the same, you ought to be impeccably content with it and so cheerful to have it in your life!
Tips on Preparing Shirataki Noodles
I now and then cut the noodles fifty-fifty preceding cooking them, since they can be long. I think that it simply makes them simpler to consume on the off chance that I precept them. Additionally, I make a point to truly empty and flush out the noodles and run some water over them for a couple of seconds. I likewise make a point to have the noodles warm, to somewhat hot before serving, since I am not an aficionado of them on the off chance that they are frosty.
What's more vegan recipes with shirataki noodles, I suggest not having these noodles make up the larger part of your supper. Make a yummy pan fry brimming with generally veggies, and afterward include a portion of the noodles, however don't consume simply the noodles for supper. You won't be sufficiently getting vitamins and minerals that way. They are awesome for vegan noodles yearnings however! What's more they normally have very much a long retire or ice chest life, so you can simply keep maybe a couple packs in the cooler for when a yearning strikes.
Where Else to Buy Shirataki Noodles
On the off chance that you don't see them on the isles at your merchant, check or inquire as to whether they convey them. In the event that they don't, they can maybe request some. In the event that that comes up short, you can simply do a google pursuit and either discover an area that does, or request online.

Emily Blunt is bored by comparisons between her The Huntsman: Winter's War character and Elsa from Frozen.
The British actress plays Freya, a royal sorceress with freezing powers in the new fairytale movie, and it has been observed that the character bears a striking resemblance to the frosty magical princess in Disney's blockbuster.
Emily said the comparison was "boring" when asked at a press conference in London if she'd used Frozen as a reference for her performance.
"It's just because we've got white hair," she joked before adding, "I watched Frozen a hundred times and I'm very disappointed there's not a song in this movie.
"No, it was not really a reference point; it was actually a case of (me thinking), 'Oh God, I'm going to be asked a lot of Frozen questions. How boring."
Freya, the sister of the evil Queen Ravenna - played by Charlize Theron - becomes a feared icy enchantress at the start of the new movie after a tragic event awakens her magical powers.
Instead of being a new version of Elsa, Emily feels her character is a complex one with deep moral motivations, despite her villainy.
"The origin of the character is a very normal girl with normal hopes and desires for life," the actress said. "She just wants to get married and have a child, then suffers this great loss and through that she becomes hardened.
"Her hair turns white and she becomes this ice queen who just wants to kidnap children and strip love out of their lives, with good intentions, obviously, as she wants to protect them from future heartbreak."

From the High Commissioner's Desk - Honouring Rural Women
Last week I travelled across the Guadalcanal plain to visit the village of Komidi for International Rural Women's Day. Travelling in convoy with a group of women from the Honiara Central Market Vendors' Association, the journey took more than two hours in each direction.
So why was Komidi chosen as the venue for International Rural Women's Day? It's because dozens of rural women travel from places like Komidi into Honiara every day to sell their produce at the market. This was an opportunity for people like me, Premier Anthony Veke and others to show our appreciation for these women by travelling to their home. To see for ourselves just how long and difficult is the journey that they undertake each day to bring food from their gardens to our tables in Honiara.
And make no mistake, it's a very long and difficult journey. We had to cross wide rivers and navigate muddy, rutted tracks. Even in a modern four wheel drive, it was a challenging and uncomfortable drive.
I can scarcely believe that so many rural women make that same journey every day, leaving home well before sunrise and returning each night. Next time you pick up some vegetables or fruit from the Central Market, spare a thought for the women who've grown that food and brought it all the way to Honiara. They're the backbone of the nation. And they deserve our utmost respect.
Tomorrow morning my family and I will be joining over 5,000 others participants in the annual G'Day Solomon Islands Fun Run. We've had more registrations than ever this year. As in past years, the event will start at the Art Gallery and head down towards Tandai, with a 5km course for runners and a 3km course for walkers.
We'll be offering some great prizes thanks to our generous sponsors, who are too numerous to list here. But I will give a special thanks to SolRice, which has donated T-shirts for the first 5,000 registered participants.
We're hoping that this year's Fun Run will be more fun than ever and will help encourage a healthy and active lifestyle. To all those readers who are planning to participate, I look forward to seeing you tomorrow.
And a reminder to those who live on the western side of town that the road from Bishops Dale to the Art Gallery Grounds will be closed from 8.00am to 9.00am. Police will be stationed along the route to ensure everyone is safe and that the traffic gets moving again as quickly as possible after the run.

When I first was planning my explorations in Utrecht, I wanted to see absolutely everything the city had to offer. I eventually realized that that was an unrealistic expectation, and decided to focus on what I really wanted to see. Here are some of the sights and activities that make Utrecht unique, should you ever get the chance to visit.
Museums: While Utrecht does not boast the large and famous museums that Amsterdam and other cities have, it does have several smaller, more unusual museums. They make excellent morning entertainment in between homework and classes. My favorites are:
- The Aboriginal Art Museum: This museum is dedicated to displaying contemporary Australian Aboriginal art, an area I was not familiar with. Through an introductory video and explanations by the displays, I came away with a better understanding of an artistic tradition far removed from the European one I am used to, which sometimes makes use of aerial perspective and tells stories with sometimes hidden symbols.
- Museum Speelklok: A museum devoted to music boxes may not sound very exciting, but it turned out to be full of ingenious combinations of science and art. Clearly, the desire for portable music did not start with the iPod. In the 19th and 20th centuries especially, artisans used innovations in technology to turn household objects like clocks and boxes into music players. They also transformed common musical instruments, such as organs, into self-playing instruments. There is a short tour which allows you to learn about some of the instruments' history and mechanisms and hear them play before exploring the rest of the collection for yourself.
- Museum Catherijneconvent: This museum, housed in a centuries-old cloister, displays religious art and tells the story of Christianity in the Netherlands. The art is quite gorgeous, particularly in the schatkamer, or treasure chamber. Religion has played a pretty important role in Dutch history, so it was nice to get an overview. The museum is well laid out, and you get a free audio guide. Actually, most of the museums here I've been to have had these for free, which makes for excellent Dutch practice.
Bookstores: Because I love books and bookstores no matter where I go.
- Broese Boekverkopers: This bookstore is in the center of town, right beside the Oudegracht, or Old Canal, and near the Domkerk. While more expensive than I usually like, (I like my bookstores dirt cheap), it has a quite large selection and a second-hand section downstairs.
- Books 4 Life: This is pretty much what I look for in a used book store. The books are marked with colored stickers and cost 1, 3, or 5 euros. They even have a section of three books for 1 euro. Plus, 90% of the proceeds go to charities, such as Amnesty International. Seriously, what's not to love?
Sightseeing: Since most people travel for the sights, not for the bookstores.
- Domkerk and Domtoren: These are the two most famous landmarks in Utrecht, and date back centuries. (Seeing a theme here?) I did not climb the Dom Tower, but that is an option for people with a better head for heights than I have. I did visit the church, which encapsulates much of the history of Utrecht, ever since there was a Roman fort on that spot.
- Sint-Willibrordkerk: On the outside, this church looks quite somber, but the interior is remarkably colorful. Practically every surface is lavishly painted or otherwise decorated. Don't forget to look up at the ceiling! It is quite a contrast with the Domkerk; you can definitely tell which went through the Iconoclasm and which was came later.
- Botanical Gardens: This was one of the first places I went, as it's quite near my apartment. These gardens are a really lovely place for a walk. Several parts are arranged topically, on subjects such as medical plants and plants used for paintings. The gardens are located on and around Fort Hoofddijk.
- Canals: One of my favorite experiences, the opportunity to go kayaking through Utrecht's canals, was provided by the school. It was a nice evening, and the view from the water was really lovely. It probably helped my experience that my suite-mate kayaks competitively. I had a lot of fun, and it was really neat to be kayaking with people from all over the world, from South Africa to Indonesia to Belgium.
Tip: the museums and Botanical Gardens are all free with the Museumkaart, but if you want to buy this at the Botanical Gardens bring cash, as they do not accept foreign debit or credit cards, including VISA.
So, if you're ever in the Netherlands, consider stopping by Utrecht! For a good-sized city it is not overwhelming and has lots to offer. I have definitely enjoyed my time here.

Who invented the world wide web? First websites Websites today
Tim Bernis Lee HISTORY OF WEB DESIGN In thebeginning... The internet did not start off as the amazing way of sharing information that it is today. The internet was first an easy way of transferring data used by scientists and military personnel. It was created in the1960's, but it wasn't available for anyone with a computer modem and a telephone line to use until the late 1980's. This is what an average comeputer in the1980's looked like. Tim Bernes-Lee was the man who invented the world wide web. He is now head of the W3C, the world wide web consortium. He is a British engineer and computer scientist. The world wide web consortium was established in 1994.This is a group in charge of maintaining the future of the world wide web. Goals and standards were set to do this. Html was the language chosen to code all websites.
HTML version 1 was limited but could be built upon. Today, we have versions 2, 3 and 4 and other variations.
Generations of websites
Web design has been divided into "generations." First-generation websites were boring because they were mostly text with minimal graphics, and no other media such as music of video. Their basic design made it much easier for slower modems to transfer the information in a short amount of time.
This is a first generation website.
The standards set by the W3C have made it nearly impossible for large companies to create specific web browsers and potentially develop a monopoly on web design code. If one company had been allowed to dominate web design and browser technologies, it could have had a very detrimental effect on the Internet as we know it today.
Second-generation websites were a little more complicated, with more abilities available via HTML. Third-generation websites brought the inclusion of colored backgrounds and animated images.
Today's websites are considered the fourth generation. Websites are vibrant and full of color. XML, JavaScript and Flash are just a few of the advanced techniques used to make each website different and exciting. We now have the ability to use code to bring websites to life. Now technology has given people the ability to add small scripted programs to their websites. Web designers can add interactive elements, produce videos or create games to include in websites they design.
Websites Today These websites have lots of colours, graphics and video. Sources http://www.articlesbase.com/ecommerce-articles/the-history-of-web-design-in-a-nutshell-494582.html http://www.slideshare.net/rsm/web-design-history http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_design

I am a PhD candidate in political science at the University of Zurich, Switzerland. My research interests lie at the intersection between international political economy and comparative politics. In my dissertation, I investigate how foreign direct investment affects power maintenance in autocracies. Other research projects include determinants of aid allocation, effects of revolutions, and advances in survey methodology. I teach courses on international relations and politics in autocratic regimes as well as supervise students writing their bachelor's and master's thesis.
Before coming to Zurich, I studied political science and economics at the University of Heidelberg, Germany. At the moment, I am a PhD researcher at Stefanie Walter's chair of 'International Relations and Political Economy' at the University of Zurich, Switzerland. Last year, I have spent three months as a visiting PhD researcher at the University of Aarhus, Denmark. Please see my full CV for more information.

I recently spent five days in Paris as part of the Paris Lit Up (PLU) mini-writers residency. This is as exciting as it sounds. It was the opportunity to take part in live performances, network with, and meet, fantastic writers, artists, and musicians, and the opportunity to teach. All this and the opportunity to be inspired by a very special city.
PLU is a community of writers, musicians, performers, and more, who come together to collaborate, support each other, and encourage the advancement of art. I applied for the PLU mini-writers residency in January and was asked if I could come over in March/April.
I have watched PLU on Facebook and Twitter for a long time, and through the night that I run I have tried to emulate their sense of inclusivity, and their desire to show off talent. I'd seen a while ago that they had the mini-residency on offer, but I'd not gone for it. A mixture of feeling like I'd not get it, and feeling comfortable enough in my own skin that if I did get it I'd be able to jet (train) off to Paris and strut my funky stuff on the streets where so many had strutted before.
I've long coveted writing in Paris, but I've taken less concern in the literary history of London. This is odd considering I've run a gig night championing new writers for several years now – but when I think about it, I've been drifting and need to up my game. Not to jump forward, but by its conclusion this trip made me commit to putting aside more time to consider what I have here, how I can best make the most of it, and how to share it with others. Of course it's easy to forget your own history, and your own present, taking them for granted and so when what you consider the norm happens – you don't realise that for someone else that it has been spectacular.
I had one of those spectacular times when a selection of the Paris Lit Up team themselves came across to England to launch their latest publication, Paris Lit Up No3, the week before I was booked to go to Paris. This led to me having the pleasure of their company at a bookshop in Clapham where we chatted, did readings, and drank several boxes of wine. I read a few pieces from my first book, and heard some outstanding work from others. It felt wonderful to be a part of that evening, everything that I considered being a part of a literary community to be – even if there was a Where's Wally? (Waldo?) cardboard cut-out watching menacingly from the corner. I heard Shannon Cain read this superb piece (although this video is from another gig on their tour), I met Emily who was to host the gig I was booked to do in Paris, and Ed, Helen, and Steph who were all kind and lovely to me both on the night and during my trip to Paris. You can look at their pictures here – although I've liberated a few to make this piece more interesting.
We listened to each other reading, talked about the things that we loved about writing, London, Paris, about everything really, and all in that incredibly intense way like if you don't get it all out by the end of your next breath the world will explode and you'll never have said what you needed to. I didn't know any of them so I was guilty of fluttering between conversations a tad, but they group were extremely generous with their time and thoughts considering they all had people they actually knew vying for their time too.
I was ready, I was set, and I was determined that I'd do my best to make a positive impression and then I'd be one of the gang and forever more there would be a star in the Parisian skies that I'd placed there with my words.

I have played many MMO games in the past (hundreds) and believe to have a good idea of what would be wanted in an MMO. Some of these ideas come from parts of other games I've played and some may be totally unique. It just seems that all these games have lacked something that kept them from being "winners". I hope to see a new MMO that answers as many of these issues as possible and I hope you will sign this petition if you agree.
Therefore, the undersigned would like to see a new MMO that features:
1) An authentic appearance: No candy cane weapons, silly hats, over-sized weapons, etc. It must, as much as the graphics engine allows, look as authentic as the period it represents.
2) Does not have a monthly subscription, but is either buy once or Free-2-Play. A micro transaction shop is acceptable, but it should not offer superior items to what is available within the game. It can be cosmetic items or experience boosts, potions, etc.
3) Contains two opposing factions that are always at war and PvP is imminent except in certain designated towns where attacking others is prohibited.
4) Each faction has a home city where invasions by the enemy are possible under certain conditions, such as winning a battle.
5) There should be at least five specific classes per faction, each having access to some abilities that other classes do not. An example might be (for an fantasy-style MMO) that a Mage could teleport members of their team to their location, or a Rogue might have a buff to accelerate another player's running speed for a certain amount of time.
6) Each class should have at least three skill trees it can access with various choices making a difference within that particular class, so that there is a variety even among the same class. No class could obtain every skill available to them so their selection would lead to many various builds.
7) There should be an online trading shop for players who can sell most anything including their characters. Characters, after being stripped of all possessions (weapons, armor, etc.) can be offered for trade or sale for in-game "gold". This allows those who have played a role to a high level and wants to try something new to pass the character on to someone else who wants a ready-made character. Name changes could be offered in the transaction shop for players who would like to change the toon's name.
8) Although it would acceptable to have special events, they would adhere to the authenticity of the setting.
9) Monsters (mobs) in the game would also adhere to authenticity or legend (in the case of Medieval of Fantasy settings). No giant jelly blobs, earthworms, etc. Monsters might include wolves, wild hogs, witches, robbers, tigers, trolls, spiders, etc.
10) Game currency would be modest in its availability. Coins should not drop out of dead animals, nor should pieces of armor. This is just silly. Killing things might result in obtaining leather or bones for use in crafting armor, weapons, etc. Meat could be obtained for food.
11) Hunger would be factor in the game. Characters would, over time, begin to hunger and their personal stats would decline, making them less effective on the battlefield, eventually resulting in slower movement and possibly death. This would not happen in such a short time as to be a nuisance, but perhaps over a realistic time period. Perhaps something like every 4 hours of gaming time, they would lose 10% of their attributes. Food would not be so plentiful as to be easily obtained. This would open the possibility of people wanting to go into the business of creating foods to sell. Someone might be a baker, a hunter, etc. to provide the means of selling food. Game currency should come from direct trade between players or as a reward for completing missions, not by dropping from dead carcasses (as stated above).
I could go on as I have played many MMOs and have a lot of ideas. Basically, I would just like to see an MMO that has more authenticity in the setting, has a fully worked out PvP and class system. The reason I think many games to not last are:
1) There are no real opposing factions who are mortal enemies who are to be eliminated on sight (except in neutral cities).
2) The so-called "classless" system in reality usually produces less distinction among players because the best combinations of "builds" are soon discovered and most people just gravitate toward these. I think a class system with many available skill possibilities would result in more distinctive roles.
3) Guild, Clan, Corporations, whatever you wish to call them should not be such a simple task to create. Organizations of this type should only be made by those who have gained a respectable level, paid a substantial amount of "gold" and have completed some specific missions. The problem with making it easy for anyone to create a "guild", is that you end up with the "Too many chiefs, not enough Indians" syndrome. There are too many guilds and not enough people to join them or want to because they can just make their own. Make a guild a worthy thing to be a part of and you'll have fewer, but stronger guilds. Also, once a member of a guild, anyone leaving the guild without a release by the leader will not be able to re-enlist or create another guild for ten days. This prevents the "guild hoppers" who just jump from guild to guild to obtain free items. When a person attempts to join a guild, a submission to the leader is created that lists the dates and names of previous guilds that player was in, just in case they wish to question the player about their history.
If, on the other hand, a player is close with the leader of a guild and wants to leave to create another guild and the leader is fine with that, the leader may give a special "writ of leaving" that allows this player to re-enter or create another guild without a waiting penalty.
Please sign the petition if you think this is a good idea.
