Review In-Brief
- Sales Rank – 42.75
- Refund Rate – 50
- Link authority – 1
Review too long? Well you just have to read this summary where I provide Social Smartness: why people act the way they act an overall score. My objective has been to use stats to develop a totally neutral review that can help to provide a clear idea of whether or not you should buy this product. I looked at the sales figures, the refund rate and the authority of the product's website to set up an overall idea of trustworthiness. It's a computer algorithm, yes, but it should be a fantastic help nonetheless. So, the final score is 49.69/100 – pretty good!.
Thanks for visiting another excellent review here at thecalculatr.com. This site is focused on helping you to make a superb choice when buying something. I make certain that each and every product I review carries a 60 day money back guarantee and that I review in an ubiased way by sticking to the stats. So sit back, loosen up, and get ready for the review! Oh, it nearly slipped my mind. I offer free stuff for customers who purchase via my link. You can read about all that here. One last thing before I start the review – please do click here to have a look at how this blog is financed. I wouldn't want you to feel fooled, and you should be aware that this page does contain some "affiliate links". Now that you have finished doing that, we can start off.
Does it sell much?
To begin with, a confession. I am inclined to be affected by the reputation of products. In the event that I see everyone is purchasing something I usually come along for the ride. My logic? Well, if everyone wants it, it should be good quality, right? Obviously, that's not usually true but product sales can be a good proof of quality. Fortunately for you, I actually have some sales data for Social Smartness: why people act the way they act. First, I have a little something called Gravity which comes straight from the payment processor. It offers us a rough indication of sales volume. Social Smartness: why people act the way they act has a gravity of 0, which makes me think this might be one to avoid – maybe better to look at alternatives. Now, this gravity figure might not mean much to you. Therefore, dear readers, I have compared the gravities of every product on this web site and created a sales rank! A rate of 100 indicates it's the most popular product here … and all the way down to 1 with the worst seller. So how about Social Smartness: why people act the way they act? Basically, it gets a sales rank of 42.75, which means it is certainly below average – I would recommend you see if any options do better.
Refund rate
Of course, I opt to give my readers more than just sales stats. You want to know about a product's quality. Unfortunately, my time restrictions (and bank balance!) don't let me to try every product personally. So I use another stat – the refund rate.This stat comes directly from the payment processor, when it was available for a short time. Social Smartness: why people act the way they act scores 3 /5 which is the average score and usually means we either don't have any refund data or the refund amount is at a suitable level – should be Okay to proceed here.
Where are they selling it?
Okay, what else can I say to you? Well, why don't we have a look at the site that this product is sold from (secretsofpersonality.com)? There are a few stats available that will provide us witha better idea about how efficient the product is. For starters, we know the website has 5 pages – the theory is that the more pages it has, the older and more trustworthy it is. So, in this instance, 5 is not really that many and could imply that this site is new. But, obviously, you can't just judge a website by the number of pages it has. They could all be useless! Instead, let's take a leaf out of Google's book and have a look at the amount of other sites that are linking in to this one. Loads of links from quality websites indicates that this one is sure to be quality too. So secretsofpersonality.com has 0 backlinks with an authority score of 1/100, which means it hasn't gained much approval from other websites yet (and therefore not from me either).
Additional products – does this merchant have anything else for sale?
We're approaching the end of this review now, but I still believe there's a few more data to be found. I've hunted high and low and produced a list of all the other products this vendor is selling, and also any specials they have on at the moment. Let's take a look… So, it seems Social Smartness: why people act the way they act has no special product(s) on sale.
.img-right {float:right;margin-top:-50px;}
And what about any other products? No there aren't any for secretsofpersonality.com.

Facts have emerged how Fidelity Bank PLC shutdown Titanic View Hotel in Owerri, following what they described as the inability of the management of the said hotel to meet a debt obligation with the bank.
The bank had about two weeks ago sealed off Titanic View Hotel Owerri with armed police officers from Zone 9 Umuahia, throwing out about 350 workers from both Titanic View and Pretoria City hotels back into the labour market.
But our investigation indicates that the accusation of inability by Titanic View Hotel to meet its debt obligation was a ruse as the hotel was in no way indebted to the bank nor was it used as collateral.
Our source who craved anonymity said that the facts was that the owner of Titanic View Hotel Owerri, Mr. Ifeanyi Opara, who also owns Pretoria City Hotel had in 2011 secured some loan of N240M from the bank and used Pretoria City Hotel as collateral. This was after he had insured the Pretoria City Hotel with Standard Insurance PLC with N204M premium.
According to our source who said he was privy to the transactions, Fidelity Bank had brought the Standard Insurance PLC to ensure Pretoria City Hotel, because the bank is the broker to the insurance company. Our source added that the loan facility obtained with Pretoria City Hotel had been serviced regularly until the hotel was burnt.
Following the destruction of the hotel by fire and the laying off of the workers in 2015, our sources revealed to Ifeanyicy.com, that Mr. Opara approached the bank as the broker for indemnity.
"When we approached the Bank for the indemnity for the hotel, the bank asked us to provide the required documents, including police report on the fire incidence, the Fire Service Report, the report from the surveyor and bill from two contractors for the rebuilding of burnt hotel. We provided all the documents required but the bank refused act on it", said our source.
He added: "But since the bank refused to indemnify the hotel we took a legal action against the bank to compel them to indemnify us, and since the case was pending in court and the hotel was no longer generating revenue to service the loan for which it was used as collateral, we could not continue to service the loan, waiting for the matter to be disposed of at the court."
Our source further revealed that in a shocking move, Fidelity Bank PLC abandoned the case at the State High Court Owerri and obtained an interim order from the Federal High Court in Owerri to close down the Titanic View Hotel, a hotel said not to have any business with the bank. The order was executed about two weeks ago with armed police men from Zone 9 Umuahia.
Further investigations revealed that the management of Titanic View had approached the Federal High Court to vacate the order since the affected hotel was not indebted to the bank nor was it used for collateral.
Our source also said that it was clear that the Federal High Court was deceived into granting the order, without knowing that the matter was pending at the state high court Owerri. He said that the hotel was hopeful of coming up again for business and recalling its workers who were laid off as a result of the unmitigated closure of the hotel.

Last week I had the honour of spending a couple of days with two great and talented friends having had the spur of the moment opportunity to visit the Emerald Isle of Ireland. A very quick goodbye was only had before heading back to Dublin Airport for the flight back to New York however the huge smile and wave from Eoin as I pulled onto the streets of Cork spoke words.
I must say that I do not have the words to adequately thank these individuals for giving over their willingness, and most of all, their time to take me, although brief, but extensive tour of what wet my appetite to come back for more.
I knew the moment when I interviewed Eoin O'Callaghan that we were destined to meet. We actually were supposed to meet in New York City, but our schedules didn't match. Even though I was disappointed as I was anxious to meet him and his now finacee Siobhan, I was also glad at the same time because I wanted to travel the distance and meet him on his own turf - the land where some of my family used to call home.
More of this trip will be posted on this blogsite in the near future, however, for now,
I will present to you our two very talented
|During the tour of Blarney Castle

Siobhan Oliver
I am already looking forward to the next visit. Please stay tuned for more about our visit to and mini tour of Ireland.

Hearts Captivated by Baby Jesus
In the December 26. 2013
issue of Westchester Guardian
The church bells will ring and children will be expecting presents under the tree. Christmas will be celebrated in many churches and the generous spirit of good will in this season will be felt by people everywhere, regardless of their religious affiliation. Isaiah 49.13 says "Rejoice, O heavens and exalt, O earth, for our Lord will come to show mercy to the poor." Christmas already brings out the generous, giving spirit of people everywhere. They remember and contribute money and gifts for the less fortunate not only in our country but for the poor in other places.
This year Catholics have a new Pope who has already taken a special interest in the needs of the poor. Pope Francis has written and spoken about helping the poor and vulnerable in our society. His words resonate with people of all faiths whose spirit of caring and giving is heightened by the good will the season engenders. His view is that his church is a church that is a poor church and is "for the poor." The Christmas season offers a great opportunity to promote the needs of the poor. Peace making and being merciful are all earmarks of his support of the most vulnerable members of society.
Christmas is this celebration of God who came to earth as a baby, born of a woman. With these humble beginnings, his life reflected his dedication to the practices of the ten commandments which he exemplified during his life on earth. The Christmas songs now resound, "A baby born, so meek and mild, ...one tiny child." As a baby this God made man presented himself as a son needing the support of parents in a family setting. Certainly this is a tradition as old as mankind.
Pope Francis took the name of Francis of Assisi, the saint who had been credited with creating the first Christmas Creche to exemplify Christ's birth. Reports claim Francis of Assisi in Greccio, Italy had asked the Pope if he could celebrate Christmas there. The hermitage chapel there was not large enough for the congregation, so he created an altar in an area of rock close to the center of town. A manger was built which held real animals. There are several conflicting reports of whether a newborn was placed in the manger or if a soldier saw a vision of child in the manger. In either situation there is no doubt the birth of the child Jesus has been revered for many centuries.
The true spirit of Christmas should not be confused with the commercialization of this sacred holiday. The stores are filled with all kinds of merchandise and gifts. And, in the American tradition, many groups collect toys, clothes, food baskets and other presents for those less fortunate. In the best traditions of our country this generous spirit of our residents reflects that good will that the Christmas holiday season engenders.
A helpless child has captured the hearts and souls of people for generations and this year is no exception. The season of joy, hope and generosity that Christmas engenders is reason enough for all to express joy from the heart. The glad tidings of Christmas which emanate from a baby born in a humble stable keeps hope alive in a world beset with problems.
Norman Vincent Peale reflected appropriately, "Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold everything is softer and more beautiful."

- Soda Mountain Solar Project Meeting, August 23
- Big Bear Xeriscape Tour, July 16
- Susan Luckie Reilly 100th birthday
Soda Mountain Solar Energy: SB Co. Supervisors decide on Aug. 23rd
MBCA and our conservation partners are urging San Bernardino County Supervisors to deny approval for the Soda Mountain Solar Energy Project. It is important the Supervisors hear from constituents with strong objections to approving the Soda Mountain Solar Energy Project – prior to the Supervisors next regular meeting on August 23rd when a decision will be made.
The Bechtel Corporation received approval from the BLM to develop Soda Mountain Solar Energy. The 3-square mile photovoltaic project would be located approximately 6 miles southwest of the town of Baker and within a mile of the boundary of the Mojave National Preserve. The site would cover both sides of highway 15 and be clearly visible from the Preserve.
Soda Mountain Solar proposes to be located within the approximately 25,000 acres in San Bernardino County identified as "unallocated lands" in the DRECP (Desert Renewable Energy Plan.) A vast majority of the "unallocated lands" are located in rural living and conservation areas. Permitting use of these vulnerable lands will undermine the County's zoning and natural resources authority. Other industrial scale energy project proposals are certain to follow.
It is now the County's turn to consider the Environmental Impact Report for final project approval of Soda Mountain. Supervisors can show leadership by sending a clear message to the BLM that the County protects the interests of citizens and the area's natural resources by denying this inappropriately placed industrial scale project.
MBCA's Call for Action on Soda Mountain is posted on the MBCA website. It contains the letter MBCA sent to the Supervisions sent July 4, 2016, as well as a model letter. A personal letter in your own words is most powerful. If you wish, use elements of the model letter to write your own – or print it out and add your own handwritten note. Remember to sign the letter, include your street & e-mail address and mail it to MBCA by August 19 at: PO Box 24, Joshua Tree, CA 92252.
If you can get friends and neighbors to sign the letter, please mail as many copies as you can collect! Letters need to arrive at the MBCA P.O. Box by August 19 to be hand delivered to the County Supervisors in advance of their meeting date. We will also forward copies to Congressman Cook and Senator Feinstein. Our goal is to have dozens, or better yet hundreds of letters in this package! If you are able, print copies of the letter for your friends and neighbors to sign and include them when you mail yours to MBCA.
Any letters received by MBCA after August 19th will be forwarded to the Supervisors by mail or scanned for e-mail delivery.
In addition to written comment, is also important for us to fill the Supervisors Chambers and the overflow rooms in San Bernardino for the Tuesday, August 23rd Supervisors meeting. The meeting begins at 10:00 AM. A strong collective presence in opposition will provide Supervisors further justification to vote to deny the project. The Supervisors will decide on the future of Soda Mountain and they need to know their constituents care in significant numbers and they have definite opinions! (Additional background on Soda Mountain is provided at the end of this email.)

Transforming the Frog into the Prince: Effective Schools Research, Policy, and Practice at the District Level.
Cuban, Larry
Despite consensus on the administrative reforms needed in school effectiveness programs, policy problems are raised when administrators and school boards want to translate research findings on school improvement into practical terms. Although school systems are now using a number of organizational tools that lift standardized test scores (for instance, broad instructional goals are being clarified and classroom teaching matched to goals), schools are not finding effectiveness programs cost-free as implementation expenses and continuing programs impose substantial costs. Issues of hiring, training, evaluating, and increasing staff awareness capture the personnel policy tasks. Districts must choose administrative fiat or school-generated initiatives to implement new strategies. Boards must, in any case, consider the issues of requiring compliance with policy, the shape of inservice training, and the incentives and sanctions available to administrators. Although research stresses the role of administrators as instructional leaders, their leadership roles must be clarified for each district's situation. Boards and administrators must also be aware that pushes for effectiveness may have unanticipated consequences: in increased curriculum uniformity, narrowing of school focus, and staff conflicts.

To me life is about constant learning and self-upgrading to live to the fullest. Because of blogging I get to know a group of supportive followers. At that moment I knew that I have to put in more effort. Singing is my passion therefore I recorded several MV and on top of that I looked for a dance teacher to brush up my skills.
From the bottom of my heart, I would like to thank Where to Shop in Singapore www.wheretoshopsg.com for the constant support and sponsor on my dance opportunities and expenditures. I was quite touched while watching my own dance video, recalling the practices I had from the past 1 year and the end result gave me a sense of achievement.

I was searching for a compounding pharmacy in republic of Ireland, found and wrote to one.
He promptly responded and was very courteous. Here is a small section of his response:
"We are not allowed to do compounding any more, Our inexperienced Civil servants paid for by taxpayers have decided only Manufacturers should make medicines, even simple mixtures. This protects the big companies and allows them to create a monopoly and to continue to rip everyone off."
So, for anyone looking to compound NDT in Ireland,it's not done anymore. I will also try N.I and post response.

The Ultimate Wolf In Sheeps Clothing.. — The best car I have ever owned, eats almost anything off the road.. I should never have let it go! It is an expensive car to run but not bad when you consider the power, it will get 25 mpg on long runs and otherwise is quite cheap to run. It really is such fun to drive especially when you beat little punks in their Subaru's etc.
Primary Use: Commuting to work
Pros: Surprise everyone with the sheer power
Cons: Fuel cost

Mercedes Benz — The performance of the car is good , acceleration from 0-100 about 9,6 secs .The breaking is great and the handling is satistfying.The appearance - ofcourse its a mercedes benz and the interior is a classical wood interrior .I dont know what are the spendings paid every month for the car
Primary Use: Commuting to work

1999 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 320Review
The Green — It is E240 six cylinder small block engine. Very good, reliable car, it just needs some repairing and paint job. When they said that 'whenever you tried a Mercedes Benz, you will replace it with another car, except Mercedes". it is true.
Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)
Pros: IT IS A MERCEDES
Cons: some spare parts are expensive

1999 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 430Review
A Bargain Performance Executive Machine. — For what it costs it's great, granted it's a few years old, but built well and with a 4.3 V8 and 290bhp the performance is respectable... 155mph (on GPS, speedo shows 160) and still pulling when it hits the speed limiter... this needs to go!
Pros: Smooth, elegant, comfortable, fast and stylish...
Cons: Avoid if you want cheap running costs, low insurance and high MPG!
CarGurus https://www.cargurus.com
1999 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 300DT TurbodieselReview
Excellent Daily Cruiser — Acceleration seems wholesome yet not stressed for an automatic. Braking is very responsive and firm. Handling seems floaty, most likely due to worn bushing and shocks. Build Quality seems to be excellent. Slight issue with the glove box not opening all the way. Transmission seems to be worn and in need of a rebuild. Hard downshift to 1st gear. Delay between stop and start. External appearance in the front seems to be outdated and over exaggerated. Interior is excellent. Cost of ownership isn't as bad as one might think. Insurance cost is decent for a luxury car. Gas mileage average is about 29mpg. Maintenance cost is a bit high due to expensive and rare parts. Fun Factor is at a mediocre.
Pros: Brakes, Durability, Reliability, Accountability,
Cons: Transmission, Suspension, Battery life

Homesickness is by far the largest difficulty a lot of students have had to face during first year. After nearly two years at UAL, things have become noticeably easier, though there are still days I long for the familiarity and comfort of the place - and this is perfectly normal. When you have been working for years towards one thing, there's bound to be some sort of degree of collapse when you finally get there. Sometimes starting out somewhere new can feel like too much and too little at the same time, and nostalgia for the security of the past is not a sign of weakness and failure.
Some students breeze into university life, straight from school without giving what they're leaving behind a second thought. But I for one was never going to be one of those people. I spent two decades in my small, rural hometown in Essex, living and working and learning. My friendships date back to nursery; a childhood's worth of memories rattle around the house I grew up in. Tearing myself from the world I had built up over the years was never going to be easy, though that isn't to say it would be impossible.
So here is some advice I have acquired for those struggling with homesickness at university:
• Set yourself milestones
This has been a key coping strategy for me over the past couple of months. A thirteen-week term seems much less daunting when punctuated with flashes of familiarity: book yourself a weekend at home, visit a school friend at another university or keep in mind the imminence of reading week or the holidays. I understand that this may be difficult for international students or those who live further away, though even having something going on here can be a huge help, be it a cinema trip, night out or visit to a nearby place. Always have something to look forward to.
• Make your room feel like home
Halls rooms can be miserable if left impersonal, so make the most of your noticeboard space and decorate with photographs, posters or postcards of things that interest you or make you smile.
• Keep relationships with those from back home alive
If I am honest, I wouldn't still be at university if it weren't for my family and friends from home. On days where I have questioned whether I want to be here they have been at the other end of the phone or online messenger to calm me down, cheer me up and offer their words of wisdom. No matter how many friends you meet here, keeping in touch will always be hugely important – especially when it come to parents and siblings who too are coping with a change of living situation without you there.
• Stay occupied
This is something you will probably hear over and over when it comes to settling in, though this is because it really is effective. Get out of your room and do something, even if it's just cooking a meal with your flatmate and catching up on each other's days. Keeping your mind engaged on things and people other than yourself is a great help when missing home.
• Take care of yourself
Getting enough sleep and eating a balanced diet is difficult as a student but it is important to try. Establishing yourself in a new place takes a lot of energy and it is not best to approach it feeling lethargic or unwell (though even the most robust amongst us contract freshers' flu at some point…)
• Don't expect too much of university life
This might sound like a negative or discouraging thing to say, but it is vital to bear in mind that university life is just that: life. There will be inevitable bad days, moments of stress and doubt, arguments and discomfort to counteract the high of new experiences and opportunities. It is easy to feel isolated or guilty when being reminded from everywhere you look that you should be having the time of your life every hour of every day, and accepting that this is next to impossible can make an enormous difference to how you adjust.
• And finally…don't beat yourself up for being homesick
Any change takes some getting used to and feeling frustrated or ashamed of your reaction to it is not going to be of any help. Remember that in starting university you have most likely moved to a new place miles from all that you are used to and anyone who knows or loves you, and this is tough. It is tough, and you are doing great.

The county judge who presided over James Earl Ray's appeals to take back his guilty plea in the killing of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is leaving the bench to concentrate on his syndicated television program.
The judge, Joseph B. Brown Jr., announced his resignation in a Dec. 22 letter to Gov. Don Sundquist and the Tennessee Supreme Court. It takes effect on April 15.
Critics have long complained that Judge Brown should choose between his role in Shelby County Criminal Court and the television program ''Judge Joe Brown,'' which is taped in Los Angeles during two- or three-day sessions, 24 weeks a year. Not counting weekends and holidays, Judge Brown was away from court 80 days in 1998, according to court records. The absences drew the attention of the state Supreme Court, which told Judge Brown to stop hiring a retired judge to sit in for him.
Judge Brown, 52, was removed from the Ray case in 1998 after prosecutors argued he was biased toward Mr. Ray, who died in prison two years ago.Continue reading the main story

Notes to Pilgrims #6
The Bible—unlike any other thought or belief system in the world—leaves no room for a dualism between body and soul, between material and immaterial, between phenomenal and noumenal. Every other school of thought either privileges 'mind over matter' or 'matter over mind,' always as an either/or. But Christianity is a both/and; neither patronizing one nor deriding the other but affirming that both are at the same time valuable and in need of rescue.
Eastern thought by-and-large regards 'spirit' as good while viewing 'matter' as evil. The narratival trajectory of Eastern thinking, then, is to escape the material world (which is deemed illusory and ephemeral) in order to attain to a certain incognitive consciousness or oneness with Ultimate Reality (which is pure spirit or mind). Such a view tends to lend itself to a minimization of the inherent value of material reality and provides no basis for concern beyond that which is material.
Modern (post-Kantian) Western thought on the other hand, generally holds to an opposite view to that of its oriental counterpart. Having mainly devolved itself from the God-focused thinking of Medieval Christendom, modern Western philosophy seems generally to have embraced a more materialist/naturalist theory of reality. Affirming only that which could be empirically perceived and/or sensorially observed, the phenomenal world (i.e. matter) is maintained while the noumenal (i.e. spirit) is banished to the place of unicorns, flying elephants, and other make-believe notions. Ultimately, such a view of reality threatens to reduce the universe into a clockwork machine devoid of meaning and absolutes; where only material facts and information truly matter.
Christianity in contrast, affirms the value of both the material as well as the immaterial. The Bible tells us that God created humans to possess both body and spirit. This is why the Incarnation as well as the Resurrection of Jesus Christ are central to the Christian faith. Were God merely concerned with the salvation of the soul, there would have been no need to become man. But precisely because humans are persons with bodies and spirits, Jesus—the substitute and mediator of sinners—had to be like them in every way, save for the sin. Jesus lived the perfect life and died the perfect death, so that those who are united to Him through faith might have their sins washed away and His merits credited to them. The resurrection assures believers that they too will one day be resurrected and that Christ's final return will effect be to renew all of creation and to make all things even better. What this teaches Christians in the here and now is that we are to be agents of transformation and renewal not only in the proclamation of the gospel but also in our deep concern for and desire to material reality be renewed and redeemed by God's grace for His glory.
—Pastor James (email@example.com)

Poetic Thurdays: Lost
It's another Thursday and i'm going to give you the Thursday dose of poem.This one is titled Lost and is completely about me.Enjoy and please drop your comments as usual.
I'm rooted to a spot
The sun very hard on my back
It's light a challenge to my eyes
To my left
To my right
To my left again
To my right again
I won't call out
This isn't a dream
It is real
I'm lost
Should i walk?
Should i stay rooted on this spot?
Either way someone might find me
Someone should find me
Cos i'm lost in the middle of nowhere
I am lost

Pastor Carr did the dedication, and Linnea cooperated quite nicely while he held her during the prayer. She got restless in the last 30 seconds or so, but he is a father of 5 so he knew enough to give her a paper bulletin to play with to pacify her.

Dedication Sunday
The Sunday right after Thanksgiving, we took advantage of having both sides of the family in town and dedicated Linnea in our church's Sunday morning service. It was an important day because Mommy & Daddy publicly committed to raise Linnea in a Christian home... and also because she got to wear her first hair bow :).

A hair bow? It's official, she's getting to be a big girl!

Chronicles of New York City Rumba (I)By Berta Jottar, greater Cuba, music, traditions and folklore 10 Comments »
With this chronicle, EthnoCuba begins a new section, at the care of Berta Jottar, PhD
NYC: Sunday, February 13, 2011; 38 degrees, mostly cloudy.
Rumba is an Afro-Cuban performance culture characterized by its percussive music, dance and song; its main stylistic forms are the Columbia, the Yambú and the Guaguancó. Outside its native Cuba, New York City's international metropolitan area is rumba's second home with at least three rumbas open to the public every weekend.
This week, the rumba route begins on Friday, February 11th, at El Fogón Center for the Arts (point A on the map below); an alternative cultural center in the Bronx.
El Fogón's rumba is ran by "Pupi" Felix Insua, former member of the mythical Cuban ensemble Yoruba Andabo, and current director of Oriki Omi Oddara. At El Fogón Victorian' style room, the rumba has an international flair and is accompanied by good wine and friendly patrons. It is always a pleasure to see Pupi perform: he distills knowledge at both the kinesthetic and lyrical levels. El Fogón's is not an open rumba, (a rumba where the amateur musician can seat and play the drum) but a rumba cerrá, a closed rumba where only those privileged musicians who know the rules of rumba and know that si no sabes, no te metas are allowed to participate. In Pupi's rumba, you can hear the latest trends in rumba warapachanguera –the latest Havana style, both interpreted the Cuban way and recreated in pan Afro-Latino terms.
The Insua family, Pupi and his virtuoso songs (Stanley and Steve), share El Fogón's stage mano a mano with local young New York City virtuosos, members of professional groups, like Caja Dura and Ilu Ayé, who are fluent not only in rumba, but in bomba and palo as well. Two new voices stand out: Yomara and Yadel; both young women who master the rumba columbia, the countryside style of Congo origin, rarely sung by women.
On Fridays, El Fogón becomes a rumba lab for hard-core rumber@s as well as for those wanting to learn. You know you are at a great rumba when you see Pupi tirar un pie… See the video below:
On Saturday, we continue our rumba journey to La Esquina Habanera in Union City, New Jersey (see point C on the map). Inaugurated by Tony Sequeira, a rafter who arrived to Union City with a vision and "plantó"; La Esquina is the corner where Afro-Cuban culture from both sides of the river meets.

A good sound system is the soul of a good gaming or a home theatre system. The best television or the fastest gaming system feels incomplete without a good sound system. A good sound system is made of three components; loudness, clarity of sound and fidelity. The Sony MHC-V50D is a portable one-box portable speaker which packs in quite a lot in a relatively small form factor.
Sony Speaker highlights its exclusive Smart High-Power Technology, Mica Cone Speaker and High-Quality wireless audio via Near Field Communication (NFC) and Bluetooth. The Sony MHC-V50D features intuitive operations and music can be controlled and browsed wirelessly through Bluetooth or Wi-Fi through Sony's proprietary app. It is available for a price of Rs. 33,990/- in online stores. Let us take a closer look at this speaker system through this review.
The Sony MHC-V50D is a single-box speaker system, which is a rare form-factor. All the speakers in this system are enclosed in a single tall cabinet which stands about 31.4". It packs in 2 Tweeters, 2 Mid-range and 1 big Subwoofer. It looks sleek and futuristic. The front of the speaker carries the CD/DVD tray at the very top. Below that are the 2 4cm cone type tweeters which are fit into two round holes placed apart. Below the tweeters are the 2 8cm. cone type mid-range speakers placed apart. These are also place in round cut-outs which are cut off at the outer edges. At the very bottom is the big 20cm. Mica woofer placed in a big round cut-out with two plastic pieces tucking it in at the outer edges. The grill of the woofer is finished in black colour.
There are LEDs placed inside the woofer grill, giving it a gorgeous look. The entire cabinet is finished in matte black. The control panel of the music system is located on top of the speaker and it is an illuminated LED touch panel. All the controls on this panel are digital and are touch enabled. It also carries a big LED display for displaying volume levels, source, track information, etc. At the back edge of the top of the speaker, sits a lens with RGB LED lights inside. The light passes through the lens to spread a wide light pattern which can be controlled and synced to the music beats for a club-style dance floor wherever it is placed. All-in-all, the design review of the Sony MHC-V50D brings out the bold design language and sleek futuristic look to the whole system.
The Sony MHC-V50D sports a unique form-factor of a single-box speaker system. It features the new LDAC audio technology from Sony that allows the user enjoy the highest-quality wireless audio via Bluetooth. With up to 3 times the data transmitted than usual wireless connectivity, LDAC provides an enhanced wireless listening experience for all types of music. It also features four different DJ effects; Flanger for creating the deep roaring effect, WAH for distorting the audio, the Isolator for singling out a specific frequency band and PAN to sweep audio across speakers. The DJ effect can also be achieved via the Fiestable app and gesture control.
The Sony MHC-V50D features Karaoke with two-mic input. A built-in voice fader function turns down the voice on regular CDs for the Karaoke function. It also has a HDMI port and a built-in CD/DVD player so that it can be directly hooked to the TV to watch movies. It features a USB port which supports direct play from, or recording to, a USB drive. Built in FM receiver provides hours of entertainment. It also acts as an amplifier for an electric guitar with the Guitar Input feature. The performance review of the Sony MHC-V50D gets a really good score for versatility.

First Approach:From the configuration side you can hide the Quick Launch menu from the Site Settings in the Look and Feel section where there is TreeView which includes the settings to Show/Hide TreeView or Quick Launch menu.
Second ApproachIn the first approach only the Quick Launch will be hidden but the Left Navigation Area will still appear with the Recycle Bin link and this is not what you want so what could you do?
You can create a new Page Layout and include an empty asp:Contant element in its HTML code with the PlaceHolderId set to "PlaceHolderLeftNavBar" and the whole navigation area will be hidden in any page using the Page Layout you just created.
Third ApproachYou need to hide the Left Navigation Area from an existing Page Layout in some pages only so what could you do?

They are looking for British people who have quit the rat race and are living of the grid. The show will be hosted by none the less than Kevin McCloud, best known for presenting the hit TV series 'Grand Designs'. He will visit people in their wilderness homes and get to experience first-hand the wonder of life in these stunning locations and tape it for channel 4.
People that does something like that, quit the rat race and move away to a remote wilderness location has always inspired me. Reading about people like Guy Grieve, who left his desk job and family to go and build his own log cabin in the Alaskan wilderness and lived there for a full year can turn me into a bookworm. If you have not read his book Call of the Wild – my escape to Alaska it can be highly recommended. Here is a link to an interview with Guy Grieve – The Call of the Wild. There are many more inspirational stories like that so click follow and stay tuned to get more recommendations.
Of course I must take the opportunity to do some marketing for our own Bushcraft & Survival nature adventures that take place in Europe's last wilderness. Here you can experience the back to basic living in the beautiful wild nature for yourself that was the rough and natural way of life for our ancestors.

Michael Lynche slowed it down with India Arie's "Ready For Love" on the "Idol" island, the small bit of stage behind the judges, and got some good feedback. "I don't like it when people talk behind my back and I don't like it when people sing behind my…

With a new year comes a whole lot of possibilities discoveries. Before 2015 ended, we had introduced you to over hundred artists, some of whom you were hearing about for the first time thanks to our 'Artist of the Week' feature. Now that we're known for our remarkable taste, we figured we might as well continue the trend and introduce you to even more artists this year. As a testament of our aforementioned taste, we have chosen Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish, Graffiti6, and Danny Saucedo as our very first 'Artists of the Week.' Discover 'em below!
Currently browsing: Danny Saucedo
Jan 05 Featured: Danny Saucedo
So this artist has had quite the career in Sweden over the years. And this past month he released his first full album completely in the Swedish language. Now I know that's not the most appealing to non-Swedes, but the music is still amazing. (You don't even want to know how many Swedish songs are in my iTunes library). Everyone, meet one of my favourite artists of all-time, Mr. Danny Saucedo. As many Swedes have done, 29 year-old Danny got his start on Swedish Idol way back in 2006, where he finished in 6th place. After that, he formed a...more

SO's older sister is easily the most popular person we know. She invited 65 friends to her baby shower, 65! That does not include the family members that came. Those 65 guests were all friends that she had met in high school, art school and along the way. They came from New Husband, MA, CT, RI, and NY. I could not believe it. Some of her friends drove 6 hours, one way, to come to the baby shower.
Every single person she invited came. Everyone bought gifts or gave her cash. She got multiples on many items on her baby registry, and lots of cash.
She is constantly receiving text messages and invitations to hang out and do this or that. Yesterday she mentioned on Facebook that she was heading to the beach and where people could find her if they wanted to join. An hour later, she uploaded a pic of herself and the 10 friends that had decided to join her at the beach.
I only have 5 or 6 friends I would invite to my wedding (which will be a very small wedding). I only have 2 friends, plus SO that I see regularly and hang out with. I feel so lame and unpopular, lol.
So, who's the most popular person you know?

It has been in thinking about Sue these last few weeks that the thought began forming: "We must never, ever forget the 'social' in social marketing." Everything that we do in social marketing is to improve the lives and well-being of individuals and communities. We often never meet the people whom we affect by our programs and interventions. But they are someone's daughter, or father, or cousin, or friend. No matter how applicable our theory, no matter how brilliant our program, no matter how well developed our ego, what we do affects the lives of real human beings. A fellow social marketer recently asked what would happen if we used the term "our people" instead of "the target audience"? In a very real sense, we are always working on behalf of "our people."
I am going to mourn Sue by celebrating how "social" she was. How she worked for the social good. How she was so socially warm and fun. How she kept cognizant that whatever she was working on affected real people. I invite you, too, to always, always keep the social in your social marketing.

Casting Crowns is my favorite band, as some of you know. So when I heard these three pieces of news I was ecstatic!
First: Casting Crowns is coming out with a new album later this year (October 18) called Come To The Well, and to top it off, Mark Hall himself said that, in his opinion, "it's the best record we've written. In-your-face truth-in-love kinda stuff!"
Second: They're coming on tour to Washington on October 1st!! I'm going, no doubt about it, rain or shine. (meet me there?) Plus, I'll get to hear one or two of their new songs before they come out!
Third: They released a new song that will be on their album. It is sort of a theme song for the new movie Courageous, and is titled the same. You can get it free here:

David Warner showed his duck against Rising Pune Supergiants was just a one-off blip in an otherwise red-hot streak.
Much like the 25-ball 58 against Royal Challengers Bangalore in their first face-off this season, Warner hammered the visitors' attack to all parts of the ground during his 50-ball 92, his fifth fifty in seven matches. That knock led Sunrisers Hyderabad to the top half of the table with a 15-run win. The sides managed to get a full 40-over game despite a delayed start by an hour due to intermittent rain.
Warner used his force, timing and gigantic bat to pick boundaries regularly. He found an able partner in Kane Williamson, who scored 50 off 38 and shared a second-wicket stand of 124 runs in 12.1 overs that charged Sunrisers to 194 for 5, their highest total of the season. The Royal Challengers chase showed promising signs initially and the hosts helped them by dropping AB de Villiers twice, but Sunrisers' quicks and the pressure of a rising asking rate were too much for the visitors.
Virat Kohli opted to bowl and Warner changed gears after Shikhar Dhawan handed a return catch to Kane Richardson in the fourth over. Harshal Patel was introduced into the attack in the sixth over and Warner showcased his power-hitting, collecting 16 runs to launch Sunrisers' run rate into an orbit from which Royal Challengers could not pull it back.
Williamson nudged the ball around to give Warner the strike in his slow start. The Royal Challengers spinners, Parvez Rasool and Tabraiz Shamsi, applied a speed breaker briefly by not conceding a boundary off 11 successive deliveries. Warner, however, went deep into the crease to tackle Rasool's flat deliveries and Shamsi's wrong'uns.
But once the quicks came back, Williamson took charge with a variety of fours in the next two overs – a flick, an edge and a whip – which pushed the run rate close to 8.50. Warner targeted Richardson in the 15th over with powerful and well-placed shots that lifted the scoring rate past 9. The Sunrisers captain holed out to long-off in the next over, and Williamson and Naman Ojha fell within four balls, but Moises Henriques' 14-ball 31 with three sixes propelled Sunrisers close to 200.
Without Chris Gayle, who was not picked despite being available, Royal Challengers' chase was dependent largely on Kohli and de Villiers. KL Rahul kick-started the innings with flowing boundaries on the off side using sheer timing and placement. However, Mustafizur Rahman handed them the first blow in his first over when Kohli crunched him straight to backward point, for 14.
Sunrisers could have derailed the chase further when de Villiers, on 3, skied a short ball to fine leg, where Ashish Nehra made a mess of an easy catch. Rahul continued to cream boundaries on the off side and brought up his fifty off 26 balls. Sunrisers, though, hit back when Moises Henriques produced a thin outside edge from Rahul's bat and Watson's run-out for 2 in the bowler's next over left them on 90 for 3.
In between the two dismissals, another de Villiers catch was put down: the batsman pinned the ball to extra cover but Deepak Hooda could not hold on. In the 14th over it looked like de Villiers was going to make Sunrisers pay for the reprieves. He clubbed two short balls from Henriques for mighty sixes, but the threat did not last long as he handed his third catch of the night off Sran's bowling. Williamson, at long-on, leapt forward to get his fingers under it. At that stage, Royal Challengers needed 66 from 32 and with Mustafizur's two overs still in hand, the task was too stiff.
Sachin Baby tried to keep them in the hunt with fearless attempts that fetched him three fours and a six in a 16-ball 27. Kedar Jadhav targeted the leg side for two sixes but those weren't enough to lift Royal Challengers, who are placed second from the bottom in the points table.

The Huawei MediaPad M2 10.0 is a 10-inch tablet that has average performance in general. Here's a rundown of its pros and cons:
- The fingerprint scanner is accurate and reads quickly.
- Audio quality is decent
- Long battery life great for video streaming
- Average camera
- Resolution display not that great
- Glitches on notifications, particularly in Google apps
- Still ships in Android 5.1
MediaPad M2 in a Glance
The Huawei MediaPad M2 10.0 is a huge tablet with average performance. It can work as a media storage and playback slate well enough, but overall, the performance can be considered average. And to make everything worse, the tablet still ships with Android 5.1 Lollipop, which is a cardinal sin at this age.
Honestly, we do not know what it really is. It is sized at 10.1 inches, yet it claims to be a phone. But of course, since we can use it as a phone, it will call itself a phone… or a phablet, in that matter.
The average camera quality makes it less likely to attract selfiecentrics, but maybe enough for those who just want something to use on video calls. Media playback may be the main purpose of this tablet, still, the resolution display is not that great. Nonetheless, the audio quality may not be topnotch, but can still compete with others within the range. It has fingerprint scanner, which is surprisingly fast and accurate. The long battery life makes it an ideal device for video streaming.
All in all, the Huawei MediaPad M2 10.0 is just an average tablet. It does things, yes, but for people who like their tablets to be their driver, this thing is not for you. Loves movies and video streaming? Contented with a tablet that do the basic works? You can probably enjoy having the M2.

OK it took Audio Texture a while to fully embrace streaming and all its possibilities but now we are going "streaming playlist crazy"!!
What this means is that we will be actively maintaining
numerous lovingly curated and nicely sequenced playlists across our Deezer, Rdio and Spotify accounts with Google Play Music and Youtube coming later. Perhaps we'll even embrace Apple Music eventually, once it starts working properly!
At the moment our Spotify account has the most playlist options although they will all be standardised with the same tracks by the end of next week. We have noticed that Rdio doesn't seem to have the same extensive catalogue as Deezer & Spotify so the playlists there are currently missing a few tracks (though not too many) which also slightly affects the playlist flow but as mentioned not drastically.
So the following playlists are designed for certain businesses but that doesn't mean they're going to sound bad in your house or on your headphones! We've gone the extra mile with the selection as usual using mostly independent artists, no obvious commercial musical and daring to be a bit different. Let's face it there are already enough businesses all playing the same old music, do we really need more David Guetta, Drake, Sam Smith, Coldplay & Taylor Swift in our lives - we don't think so!
Music For Restaurants
Music For Coffee Shops (Morning & Afternoon)
Music For Boutique Hotel
Music For Bars
Here is an imagined 5 hour sophisticated eclectic soundtrack for an exclusive Boutique hotel:
We also currently have these genre specific playlists that cover our core musical interests:
Super Chilled
Chill Out
Singers, Songs & Folk
Underground Hip Hop
Electronica (Day & Club)
Deep House
Balearic (Day & Night)
Kick back to this nice chilled selection if you like:
Audio Texture is a music consultancy, specializing in the musical road less traveled. We love sharing music almost as much as we love discovering music so a blog was a natural development. Here you'll find the track listings for our weekly radio show, hear about new music in advance or our latest discoveries old and new. We'll also pop on a few informative articles and fully sanctioned downloads.
