Blue Mountain: 08/13/2017
We've knocked off plenty of the Adirondack "low peaks" on our family hikes over the past few years, but for some unknown reason we never got around to hiking Blue Mountain. With stunning lake and mountain views and a relatively easy ascent, Blue delivers a lot of bang for the buck.
Blue Mountain gets its fair share of traffic, but wooden bridges and rock steps stabilize many of the sections that would otherwise be prone to erosion. Other sections of the trail are worn down to sidewalk-smooth bedrock. The bottom line is that 1500+ vertical feet of climbing goes by pretty quickly, at least by Adirondack standards.
Views back towards Blue Mountain Lake begin to open up in the upper reaches, and before long the summit fire tower comes into view. There's a broad, open area at the summit, but the best views are found by climbing the 5 flights of open steps to the tiny cabin at the top of the tower. From the cabin you get a 360-degree view of the surrounding lakes and the High Peaks 25 miles to the northeast.
We got a bit of a surprise while we were eating our lunches at the summit when another family group arrived, walked over and said "Hi Jeff!" It turned out to be friends from back in my Schenectady ADK days who were hiking with their 7-year old foster daughter, who they've nicknamed "Little Wren" in the frequent articles they write for the Times Union's Outdoors column (here's a recent one I chuckled over: Paddling Misadventures All Part of the Journey). LW and our daughter Sylvie made great hiking pals on the way back down – one of the best ways to make sure kids have fun on a hike is to have them bring a friend along.
This was the first time I'd hiked Blue Mountain in nearly 25 years. Back in the early '90s we'd snowshoe up the hiking trail and ski the old jeep road down the backside. It's where I linked together some of my first telemark turns on skinny, metal edged cross-country skis and leather boots. I don't remember if the jeep road was posted back then (it's mostly on private land once you get about a quarter mile below the summit), but it sure is now. In fact, the jeep road is more like a highway these days, after a controversial reconstruction / expansion last summer (you can read about the roadway controversy here).
But don't let the roadway, antennae (there are 2 large towers) and associated communications equipment deter you from hiking Blue – the views are worth it despite the summit development. After the hike we recommend a swim at the town beach on Blue Mountain Lake and ice cream at the Blue Mountain Livery.
By the numbers: Summit elevation 3759. 1550 vertical foot ascent. 2.0 miles each way.

Traffic update: Oxford Milford Road closing
When confronted with lane closures and heavy highway traffic, using a zipper merge is the best way to keep traffic moving. The Enquirer/Mike Nyerges
A detour will be in place for Oxford Milford Road, which will be closed from 400 feet north of Ohio 73 to about a mile south of Harris Road, starting June 11, according to the Butler County Engineer's Office.
The detour for northbound drivers will go east on Ohio 73, north on Ohio 177 and west on Harris Road to Oxford Milford Road. Southbound traffic will reverse this route.
The construction project is set to replace a culvert. The Butler County Engineer's Office says the road should reopen the week of June 25.

Today, it's all about you
Not sure if you noticed how quick we are to dish out compliments to others, but seldom offer them up to ourselves.
Today, I want you to admire you. I give you permission to compliment yourself as much as you want. Just don't dab when gloating or I'll have to smack you.
Here's a letter I discovered while attending an event for Girl Scouts with my daughter, Lilyan. It was used during a self-building exercise, the troop participated in.
Fill out the letter below, address it to yourself. It's O.K. to add multiple answers. Just be sure to keep it around and read it when you aren't feeling your best.
Dear Friend, (YOU)
What I admire so much about you is:
You are so talented at:
A time when you were really brave was:
Whenever you feel angry, hurt, or confused, I want you to remember:
One day, I know you will be amazing at:
Here's a copy of my letter. Feel free to share yours with us.
Dear Brigitte,
What I admire so much about you is: Your sense of humor, your warmth.
You are so talented at: Being creative, cooking.
A time when you were really brave was: Every time I started a new school. I attended seven different schools throughout my childhood. (We moved around a lot. Not because my parents were hippies and blew up a chemical building out of protest, forcing us to live our lives on the run; they simply got divorced and had a hard time figuring things out for themselves - this could actually turn into a book rather than a letter).
Whenever you feel angry, hurt, or confused, I want you to remember: God is with you, you have the power to make things better.
One day, I know you will be amazing at: Speaking French

Avella censures 311 at town hall meet
Posted on May 19, 2011 by Rich Bockmann in District 11, State Senate
Since taking office in January, state Sen. Tony Avella (D-Bayside) has repeatedly pledged to stay active in the local affairs of his constituents, and during his first town hall meeting last week, he placed himself — literally— between the city's various departments and the people they serve.
Representatives from the 105th Precinct and a number of municipal departments sat on the auditorium stage of MS 172 in Bellerose last Thursday night as Avella stood alongside local civic associations and mediated questions and complaints from a frustrated crowd.
It did not take long to realize that city Department of Buildings spokesman Anthony Iuliano would have his work cut out for him.
"The Department of Buildings is the worst agency in the history of the city," Avella quipped. The senator said he was still in the process of distributing his first newsletter — a civic checklist that nearly 2,000 constituents had already returned and listed buildings, city Department of Environmental Protection and traffic issues as their major concerns.
Iuliano said that of the 7,500 complaints his department had received from Queens from January to April, 48 percent concerned illegal conversions and 39 percent were for work without permits.
Most residents expressed frustration with the city's 311 complaint registration service.
"Never call 311," said Avella, who encouraged those with complaints to contact the agencies directly or alert their civic associations and elected officials. He promised to make his second newsletter a listing of the heads of the city's different departments and their phone numbers.
In response, Iuliano spoke in a matter-of-fact tone when he said, "If you call me with a situation, guess what I'm going to do: call 311?"
Perhaps the Al Habib Halal Meat Market on the corner of Hillside Avenue and 252nd Street best exemplifies the topics covered during the meeting. Complaints were lodged against the market for causing too much traffic, expanding beyond its permitted use, having too few parking spaces and creating too much noise.
"One of the problems with the meat market is everything," said Joseph Courtesis, commanding officer of the 105th Precinct. He said his department could write summonses for violations, but the market would beat them every time.
Avella said the market was operating in a residential zone with a C1-2? overlay, which is why the market can operate in a residential zone.
"If they were operating a business in a purely residential zone, then we'd really have some teeth," Iuliano said.
Liz Errico of the Department of City Planning said her department was in the initial phases of a rezoning study of some 400 blocks in the Bellerose and Glen Oaks neighborhoods.
"You and I both know the longer this takes the more likely developers come in and do damage," Avella said. "It's important to get this done expeditiously."
Avella's district includes the neighborhoods of Bowne Park, Murray Hill, East Flushing, Auburndale, Bayside, Douglaston, Little Neck, Glen Oaks, Bellerose, Floral Park, Queens Village, Jamaica Estates, Jamaica Hills and Hillcrest.

1) What is/are your store name(s) and number(s)?
2) Please give our readers an introduction on yourself, your store(s), and the role you play in bringing these fetish clips to life.
I have a deep fascination with the intricacies of the fetish world, and fetishes themselves. As for My "persona" It's not much of a role. It's really, My inner most eccentric self. The art and the oddities of My personality are able to shine through. Perhaps some won't understand My work, but I look for those who do. It's only beginning, the extent of My craft has yet to fully emerge. It's exciting.
3) When did you first develop an interest in the fetish world? What attracted you to this scene?
I was a strange child and I grew to be a strange woman. I have always been interested in art and psychology. From a very, very, young age I have always been creative and curious. They all link to My work now. I think most people end up stumbling onto an article here or there about "weird" fetishes. I was probably 14/15 years old surfing around for "weird" things people like. At 19 I tried out camming, while dating someone who had fetishes himself. That was the first time I was exposed to fetishes firsthand. I am constantly intrigued by people. Their minds, fetishes, and the inner workings of these things. I most likely always will be.
4) What specialty is your studio most known for, and what are some of the other fetishes viewers will see in your videos?
My category is listed under "Financial Domination" However, it's simply My own personal brand. I showcase it the way I personally handle it. Coated in My own style, saturated with My own personality. I look forward to things getting strange, instead of done the popular way. Main category aside, I enjoy creating content for ALL kinds of fetishes. I plan to indulge in a huge variety of them out of My own interest. I always enjoy feedback to really get perspective.
5) What do you personally like to see in porn, and what turns you on in your personal life?
I could never be straight. I never HAVE been straight. My first little smooch and crush as child was with a girl. Majority of the time I'm truly not interested in men's bodies when it comes to porn. Or. Well. Most situations, ahah. But I have an appreciation for both. (Trans included) I have an appreciation for all, in their own way.
My biggest personal turn on is someone eager to satisfy My wants and needs. In any way. And, cash. I have a physical reaction when I touch large amounts of it. I also love men being slapped in the face. Movies, shows, porn, even doing it myself.
6) What are some of your turnoffs – both in porn and your personal life?
Scat, anything involving animals or children. Among other things. I'm sure the list could be quite long, considering there's porn for anything.
7) In your opinion, what makes a good fetish scene?
People being open, nonjudgmental, and having honest fun! However with that fun, it's important to address understanding boundaries and personal preferences will always play a part. You're all weird and part of the scene for a reason. Unless it's a matter of safety, stop judging what others do/how they do it, and have fun with it.
8) Are there any fetishes that intrigue you, but you've yet to explore for one reason or another?
Many intrigue Me, I love learning about them. The how's and why's of fetishes. I don't personally have many, but I don't hold myself back from trying things out when I'm curious about experiencing them myself.
9) Will you be attending any conventions this year? Any industry events fans should look forward to?
Perhaps, if My schedule allows it. I'm usually quite busy. But at some point I would love to!
10) What do you like to do when you're not making fetish videos?
Lots of reading. Bubble baths. Re-watching the NBC Hannibal series. I devote a lot of time to My dog. I'm usually seeking out creative hobbies as well. I get pissy when I'm not intellectually stimulated. (Fun fact: many of My clips have music from the show's soundtrack)
11) Fetish activities aside, what's your idea of the perfect evening?
A perfect evening is a glass of white wine in hand. $1,000 dropped off silently. An orgasm. Then perhaps a variety of interesting food being brought to Me by room service. Ahaha.
12) If you had to define yourself in one word, what would that word be and why?
Unearthly. I'm quite mysterious to many people. I am very private, not many know very much about Me. I'm odd. I inspire curiosity.
13) Please share an unknown fact that your followers would be surprised to learn about you?
I have had three near death experiences. All three were a bit of a freak accident.
14) What does the future hold for the fetish film world in your opinion?
Growth. Art. Justice. War.
15) Thanks for giving us a little of your time. Anything else you'd like to share with our readers?
Thank you as well, I will be launching My personal website soon. I plan to blog quite frequently, open a YouTube channel, and perhaps a podcast! So follow My twitter for updates. @missxxcharlotte
Anyone intrigued by Me may contact Me at: email@example.com
Unless you are a Woman, your fee is $100 to contact Me.

As a Joshua Tree Maternity Photographer, I am always on the look out for a new, beautiful maternity dress to add to my maternity closet. I love being able to provide this service to my clients because I believe every mother-to-be deserves to feel at her most beautiful during her maternity session.

Alex & Tom Maternity | Camp Pendleton Maternity Photographer
As a Camp Pendleton Maternity Photographer, I always get really excited when I'm booked to photograph a maternity session. I love me some baby bumps and I love seeing a glowing mommy-to-be.
Alexandra did not disappoint! She looked so beautiful in her teal dress. It went so well with the bright ocean light we were getting that day. Tom looked nice and classic in his black t-shirt and jeans, ready to do as I asked to get the shot.
We went to Del Mar Beach on Camp Pendleton, one of my FAVORITE beaches to photograph sessions. The flat sand gives beautiful reflections and the jetty adds a little extra touch to the images.
Alex also happened to bring a black skirt with her so that we could show off her bare baby bump. Thankfully, and smartly, she wore a bathing suit underneath everything, so when I asked her if she was down to sit in the water, she had no problems at all. We both walked away from the session pretty wet, but it was so worth it.
As a Camp Pendleton Maternity Photographer, having my clients trust me and my vision is important. I wouldn't be able to execute the images that I do without that trust.
I was so honored to capture these images for Tom and Alex. I also can't wait to share their Fresh 48 photos with you in the coming weeks!
If you or someone you know is looking for a Camp Pendleton Maternity Photographer, I would love for you to Contact Me today to talk about a possible session.

Bri & Dustin | Laguna Beach Maternity Photographer
As a Laguna Beach Maternity Photographer, I adore all things baby. I LOVE belly bumps and I adore the glow of a mother to be. Capturing the bond that has already formed between mother and baby is beautiful.
So often, when women are pregnant, they don't see themselves as beautiful. That's where I come in, and that's where I get to show them that what they are going through, the changes that are happening to their body and their lives, is beautiful. To carry a life inside of you is a beautiful gift from God and it comes with a huge responsibility. It's always a goal of mine to make all women see their beauty.
Bri and Dustin were such a wonderful couple to work with. They were willing to do whatever it took to get the photo. Bri was such a trooper making the tiring trek down to Laguna Beach. It's a lot of stairs for this non-pregnant woman to go up and down, so for her to be as awesome and willing as she was (all while carrying an extra little human in her womb) was incredible.
The love shared between both Bri and Dustin and their son-to-be was so wonderful to see. As a Laguna Beach Maternity Photographer, and as a woman, pregnancy is magical to me. It never ceases to amaze me. The way the female body changes to literally grow another human is fascinating. Bri was just beautiful and Dustin was so sweet with her. We shared some good laughs and it was the perfect overcast day to be at the beach for photos. Call me crazy, but when I'm out at the beach doing a photography session, I pray for some overcast (right up untilbefore the sunsets). I love the drama that a cloudy day can create in an image, and this was no different.
If you or someone you know is pregnant and considering a Laguna Beach Maternity Session, I would love for you to contact me today!

New Season, New Possibilities
Raiders softball starts strong
April 23, 2017
The road to a championship is a challenge each team accepts at the beginning of each season. This year, the Raiders face the difficult task of winning the competitive Northern division and taking down Edmonds (21-3) and division leader Douglas (15-2).
Since the start of the season, the Raiders have claimed the third spot in the North with a 5-2 conference record. Emily Bishop has been an enforcer on offense leading Pierce with 12 hits. She is tied with Tavian Taketa as the top scoring Raiders with nine runs. The Raiders pitching as struggled early on with the bullpen averaging a 5.73 era.
Pierce has been an up and down team this season. From losing 13-3 against Edmonds to blowing out Olympic 13-1, the Raiders must find stability if they want to have any hopes of advancing to the postseason in 2017.
One of Pierce's best performances this season came in a shootout against Highline on April 8. Bailee Bradley and Annelies Dahman gave Highline's pitcher problems each had three hits on the day to put runners in scoring position. The first inning was a frenzy of scoring with Highline outdoing Pierce four to three. After that, the Raiders defense found their stride and shutout Highline for three straight innings until giving up four runs in the fifth. Down three entering the final inning, the Raiders exploded with a flurry of scores racking up five more to take a 11 to nine lead and win a primetime conference game.
Pierce faces Edmonds four more times this season with more pressure building up in each matchup. The Raiders have given up double digit scores in two of the last three games. Momentum is huge in sports and the Raiders look to continue their winning streak and earn a spot in the playoffs in May.

Hi All
This is my first post to Vicidial forum
I am using VERSION: 2.9-441a
How can we configure campaign where i can receive SMS messages from different mobile numbers on DID and transfer same SMS to available agent.
I am running a program where users first send SMS and then call. Configuration of voice calls is easy. I want the SMS from specific number to be saved somewhere (I am really not sure where) and when the call comes from the same number, both SMS and call are distributed to available agent.
I am not a computer geek or a programmer. I am just a sale manager so pardon my incompetence in technical matters. I have a technical team for implementation though.
Thanks in advance for your help

Nurturing Change
Hello Newsletter Family!
This week, I want to share with you an article I wrote. The title is Nurturing Change.
Do you think it's possible to never change? When a couple tells each other they will always remain the same person for the other, do you think that is realistic? I don't think so. The one thing that is constant in our lives is change.
Human beings are continuously learning, growing and expanding their perspective. And if someone is not doing that, they are not actually living. The human being has infinite potential and if we do not develop towards progress and advancement, then we are dishonoring are capabilities.
There are two ways a person can grow. One way is internally. The other way is externally. External growth will lead to improved status, higher promotions, more material possessions and better appearance. Internal growth will lead to more compassion, living with purpose and fine-tuned intuition.
Focusing on both the internal and external worlds are necessary for living a fulfilled life. However, contrary to what some may think, true growth is an inside job. The more of a connection we have with our internal world, the more our external world will shine.
How does one make a connection to this profound world that is felt but cannot be seen?
- Through the power of meditation: When we sit in stillness, each second of no-thought we experience becomes a portal into the internal world. It is through stillness and clarity that we tap further into our compassion, purpose and intuition; hence, into our truth.
- Through positive self-reflection: At the end of each day, week, month and year write out everything that happened to in which you're grateful for. This positive mode of being is also a portal into higher vibrations. Our compassion, purpose and intuition are felt through high vibrations, not low.
- Make a point to be of service more, either to those in your life or through volunteer experiences, or both.When we remove our needs and focus on the needs of others, we relinquish our ego. This lack of ego is also a portal to our internal world. Ego does not reside where our truth resides.
Ego is how people act when they are trying to impress others. Truth is not concerned with impressing others.
Yet the interesting thing is, the more we live from our truth, the more we'll attract people and circumstances to help us shine further. It is a natural mode of existence that light is more attractive than darkness. And living with truth and authenticity is living in the light.
Both the internal and external worlds are important. However, the work we do on the internal world will resonate deeper not just on ourselves and but also everyone we come into contact with. It is important to continuously grow and change. And it is stumping when a person expects another to always stay the same.
Growth should be honored and supported. We live in the era of information and technology. The world around us is moving at a rapid rate. We need to keep up with this growth. And with that said, it is very important to develop a deep connection to the person we truly are on the inside so we do not feel lost on the outside.
Our anchor in this fast paced world is the truth within our heart.
The heart resides in the internal world. This is not in reference to the body. This is in reference to the being.
Cultivate your being and you have cultivated the quality of your life. So go ahead and change! Just make sure you're conscientious and expanding your compassion, purpose and intuition (living from your heart-truth).
These high vibrations will resonate onto others, prompting them to change for the better too. The deepest form of change comes through feelings and experience.

I've learned to always be ready with a go-cup and an air mattress since living in New Orleans. People are part of the scenery in destinations. As if we are entertainers ready to make a trip a success or failure, our concierge skills are on point.
Calories, money, and people are constantly in an ebb/flow orbit around our lives. They are something to be appreciated while in our area and remembered in the background for they may arrive again, perhaps even on a rainy Thursday morning.
If you live in a highly visited area then you will know exactly what I am talking about when it comes to having visitors. They may/may not stay with you and you may/may not have a warning before they arrive. They arrive in the city and demand the attention their trip deserves. So, if you are the visitor, here are a few rules to make it easier on your host. Many times visitors are caught up in a reality pause. They are out and about, looking for adventure, and undoubtedly concerned with their trips on social media.
Follow a few guidelines.
1) Pay Your Way
This is one of the hardest ideas for visitors to grasp but to me it is the most important one. For visiting friends, family, and acquaintances going to a new place and seeing people you know is a God send. You have a local to tell you their favorite jaunts so you don't get stuck in terrible, unfriendly venues and you also have a sounding board for ideas on activities and modes of transportation.
For locals, it is an interruption in their schedule. Not to say that they do not appreciate the time to see you, but they are probably pausing their own routine—dieting, budgeting, exercise, work, free time—to go out and about and spend time with people they care about.
One of the nicest and underutilized ways of showing a visitor's gratitude to their "host" is by paying the way. Not all outings have to be paid for and you don't have to be the biggest ego at the table and grab the entire bill to a 7-course pairing. Any small and unimportant purchase—beer, coffee, lunch, movie tickets—are well worth their weight in gold. They will put you over the top. And you may be paying forward for next time when the roles are reversed.
2) Try to Get Your Bearings
Cities can be downright complicated. D.C. and their one-way streets, New Orleans and the chaotic "crescent" design of the city and streets, or Paris….which I may never understand. Not everyone is directionally gifted and to some maps don't come to mind that easily. Whomever you may be try to get your bearings.
Know before you go. Learn some of the largest landmarks that you can pinpoint yourself around. This will become inevitable in a new city and very beneficial to recalibrate your directions. Being able to find the street names you are around; the basic, large landmarks (not "the post office on Magazine"); and how far you are comfortable walking are all musts.
Plus, thanks to maps on all smartphones now it is even quicker to decide how, where, and when you will get to everywhere you need to go.
In New Orleans, it can be very difficult to understand locals and their instructions. The Cardinal compass is tilted slightly and it seems everywhere is "north". "Riverside", "neutral ground", and "sidewalk side" are all eclectic directions for this city. It helps to get to know the local terminology as quickly as possible.
3) Understand the Customs. (This may just be a nod to the inefficiency of American escalators, but move to one side if you are standing still. In almost every other country there is a standing lane, and a passing lane. It's genius.)
It is the smaller inconveniences that will stand out to locals. Many are unavoidable until you can recognize them or are told, however, this is another great way to learn more about the people of the destination. Think like an anthropologist are soon as you come into contact with an environment you are not accustomed to. A trip can be for a very short time, but it is amazing what you can learn if you just watch what other people are doing.
4) Be adaptable. This is more than drinking an Aperol spritz for the first time while in Italy. Adaptability is something every traveler strives for. A way to seem like the cool jet-setter, equally fine in first class as they are on a river boat in the Congo. However, as we know, travel does take us out of our comfort zones. It makes us crave our routines, the very thing we were trying to get away from for awhile. To be an adventurer means the ability to adapt not just for ourselves, but for those around us. I have met many people on the road, and some are better traveling companions than others. Why? Because they adapt and make things easy for themselves and me.
One time I took an overnight bus from Bagan, Myanmar to Mandalay. I sat next to a guy from Romania and when the bus pulled into the city at 2:30am we ended up venturing around the city until shops opened up around 7am. It was a hell of a time trying to fight to stay awake by smoking clove cigarettes he carried from Jakarta. It could have been a dreadful situation. No hostels opened or accepting new travelers for the night. And in Myanmar places are literally boarded up until the breakfast hour.

Protecting Lives: A Matter of Worth and Dignity
Background checks for gun purchases can save lives, but a background check is only as good as the records in the database. The current National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) database is incomplete because many states have not provided records about people prohibited from owning a firearm under current law.
There is rare bipartisan support for a bill to fix NICS to ensure more accurate and complete background checks – but it needs to be considered separately from a bill that would force states with strong concealed carry laws to honor permits from states with weak or non-existent concealed carry laws. While the House is likely to pass the two bills together as early as today, there is strong bipartisan support in the Senate for separating them.
Click here to urge your Members of Congress to support the bill (HB4477/S.2135) to fix the National Instant Criminal Background Check System separately from concealed carry legislation.

Our weekly meetings with mothers always are very informative times. With various ideas ranging from the mundane to the almost thought provoking ones regularly being discussed, this in turn helps each and every one of us in all sorts of ways. It is a very helpful process, that if one mother seems to have a problem in one particular area, chances are other mothers already have an experience with it and can therefore advise those who are not very versed in that particular item or problem. What it makes is a meeting full of knowledge and advice sharing wherein everyone would surely be always learning something most, if not all of the time.
One such problem that a mother brought out during one of these meetings was about her supposed pimples under the skin and the difficulty she had with it just suddenly appearing on her back, seemingly from out of nowhere and with no warnings to speak of. She said that at first she thought it was some form of cyst or something that developed from a wound or a sore, but when its number increased and the frequency of their appearance also increased, she became worried of it. She then proceeded to show us her back and all agreed that it was really just pimples that are under the skin and nothing more serious.
The mothers in attendance began to suggest of ways on how to go about treating these pimples and most of the suggestions really has valid points, as they were formed from previous experiences of these same mothers who at one time or another, also experienced it. But the general consensus among the mothers about the problem was to just leave the pimples be and let it take its natural course, and that they also said that it will just disappear on its own given time. Another helpful comment suggests of putting a warm towel over the area where the pimples are, which they say hastens the pimples maturing process, thereby shortening the time you have to suffer for it. I was glad I had the chance to listen to them as I do not have any idea of whatever it is that I will do if ever it happened to me.
The discussion then naturally went to other common skin problems, with the elder mothers complaining about the prevalence of skin tears particularly to them who are already of an advanced age. They say that it just appears when they least expect it and is even caused by such simple things like bumping into a cabinet or even just by scratching on an area of skin. They were naturally afraid of it and is seeking for other answers on how to at least be protected against it.
A doctor in the group advised on the use of moisturizing agents for the skin and also of wearing protective clothing on the areas generally susceptible to it like the upper and lower extremities, particularly on the arms. He added that the skin naturally loses its elasticity with age and is more prone to breaking, so utmost care should be observed when dealing with it.
I am very glad to be part of this group as I always increase my knowledge about various things every time we meet. There are other things I want to share with you about our meetings, and I will try my best to write about it and hopefully you can learn from it too. Follow me as there is truly much more to come.

The company said yesterday that the acquisition grew its exposure in the biggest market in the Western world and progressed its international investment strategy.
It said it increased Emira's exposure to the US to 3percent of its total assets and its international exposure in developed markets to 9percent of total assets, including its investment in Australian Stock Exchange-listed Growthpoint Properties Australia (GOZ).
Together with the Rainier Group of Companies, its US in-country partners, Emira has acquired 49percent of Stony Creek Marketplace valued at $32million (R401m) in Noblesville, Hamilton County.
Emira chief executive Geoff Jennett said with this transaction the group would benefit from growing exposure to the attractive value available in the US in their chosen market segment.
"We have targeted investment in grocery-anchored convenience retail centres in resilient markets located in some of the major southern and central states.
"We are confident that our low-risk co-investment strategy in the US remains the most prudent way to increase our international diversification into this developed market."
Stony Creek Marketplace is a 18952m² convenience retail power centre in Indiana, close to two of Emira's existing investments in Ohio. It was shadow-anchored by a 15050m² Meijer grocer, which formed part of the centre, but was owned by the grocery chain.
The centre is 98.9percent leased with 79percent of its space let to nationals, including TJ Maxx, Home Goods, Best Buy and PetSmart. It has a weighted average lease expiry of 3.9years.
Emira said the investment represents a cash-on-cash return of 11.7percent in dollars for Emira, on a net cash equity investment of $6.5m.
The investment was funded from its existing balance sheet, chiefly with the proceeds of its programme of asset disposals from its portfolio rebalancing plans.
Jennett said in the South African market, Emira continued to recycle its capital by disposing of certain assets in accordance with its portfolio rebalancing plans.
He said it had sold and transferred three assets to date this calendar year, comprising two offices and one non-core retail property, for a total of R250m.
Jennett said this added to the tactical impact of Emira's sale of a further six assets for a total of R236m in the latter half of last year.
"These transactions continue to deliver on Emira's strategic thrust to rebalance our portfolio and reduce our exposure to offices.
"In addition, we have achieved disposal prices at an average premium to book values, which signals that our properties remain fairly valued in line with our robust financial management approach," he said.
Emira owns a diversified portfolio of office, retail and industrial properties, with its directly held assets comprise 111 properties valued at R12.7bn.
It indirectly owns 21 shopping centres valued at R900.8m through its exposure to specialised property fund Enyuka.
Emira was internationally diversified through its investment in GOZ valued at R940.4m, and its equity investments in four grocery-anchored convenience centres with a combined value of $32.2m through its US subsidiary.
Shares in Emira remained unchanged at R15.30 on the JSE yesterday.

As I mentioned in my previous post, Oh Goddess Divine, Where art thou: The Fear and Intimidation of the Goddess, I will provide a psychological perspective on the annihilation of the Goddess as well as the social and economic implications of her diminishment. In my first post, I aimed to inform the reader of a brief history of ancient Goddess worship and how her elimination originated. My objectives in writing this post are to:
- Discuss why it is important to engender a rebirth of the Goddess and uphold her existence
- Provide discursive consequences of her extinguishment within a social, political, and economic context
- Critically analyze the meaning of the Goddess and how her existence impacts and influences an individual's life
My objective is not to outline a spiritual assessment of Gods and Goddesses in order to create another widely accepted cult, but to examine why humans need to create divine beings to impersonate and perpetuate their existence and purpose. I will propose my analysis based on the ideology that humanity creates that which is worshipped, obeyed, denied, admired, and oppressed. Let's begin with a psychoanalytic view of identification. How does one identify itself?
Primary identification: This is rooted in primitive and emotional attachments usually during the infancy stage. The infant doesn't know itself because its brain is not fully developed, and its environment, both culturally and socially, has not affected it extensively; therefore, it identifies with its relations and objects. For example, the child needs the breast to feed itself; therefore, the child identifies with the breast–the mother–the Female figure. It becomes the breast given it doesn't have any previous socialization and/or identification.
Narcissistic (secondary) identification: This stage is early on and provokes the loss and/or abandonment of an object. The child becomes aware of its environment, personality, relations with others, and itself. It begins the process of melancholia because it is forced to abandon the primal, emotional attachment with the Female figure. The one who fed, nurtured, and embedded it within her. Once she was the Goddess, the primal Mother. Now she must be unconsciously mourned because of the patriarchal-father head system it encounters.
Partial (secondary) identification: This stage deals with the subject identifying with someone it admires or wishes to become. This specifically contributes to the ego and the development of the character. As this stage, one is conscious of its desires and needs based on socialization, perceptions, and observations of its surroundings. Even its primal needs are to a degree predicated on a hierarchical order. While it continually mourns the loss of the primary identification–the Female figure, it requires a replacement which becomes that which exists.
The male representative is born-God.
In my last post about the Goddess, I take on a more positive, optimistic perspective of Her given I acknowledge that she possessed a historical and spiritual significance that transcended womynkind. However, Simone De Beauvoir in the Second Sex, states just the opposite. She proposes that Goddess worship and her significance was primarily created by men to represent the womun and her unexplained mystical identity. This of course reduces her connotation to that of men's creation, in addition to a peculiarity which she possess classifying her as the Other. Keep in mind, this is a matter of perspective, meaning Simone De Beauvoir takes on a more cynical standpoint of the history of the Goddess. So what does that tell us about the psychoanalytic model I outlined above?
Essentially, because I'm not providing a spiritual assessment or an invitation to a new cult/religion, I base this model on the assumption that spirituality and subjects who participate within that realm are created by man. The lost Female figure in the model represents the Goddess – the primal one. The beginning and the end – the Alpha and the Omega. However, she is lost in a state of the melancholic unconscious because of the systematic processes which occur through socialization, subjectification, and objectification. She is the beginning and the end which one encounters, but she doesn't perform a primary role during. She is forgotten because she is forced to be in order for the child to live within a patriarchal structure. Why does this matter to us?
To put it simply, when 2 things simultaneously exist, and you ignore or disregard one, it has a direct impact on the other. The one who hasn't been disregarded typically formulates and creates a social order of some sort and objectifies the Other. This causes a rupture among the masses and creates identification processes. It causes disorder, chaos, and an imbalance. How is this repressed? Through that of social learning – imitation and models given to one from the time of birth, and it continues to learn and prevail. Wherever an oppressive hierarchy exists, a group of people are ceasing to abound in life's glory. Therefore, the Goddess desperately needs to sprout from our unconscious so that we can truly reconnect with her truth. For so long, we have lived in a world ruled, occupied, and dominated by a masculine god – men. The saddening fact is that men suffer from the repressed Goddess as well. All of humankind continues to do so.
Her extinguishment affects every realm and dimension of our lives including the economic and political arenas. Laws, regulations, opinions, forums, theories, etc. are dictated by a world which is constructed without the Goddess, without that which is meant to exist on the same plane as the god. The formation of capitalism, mass production/consumerism, fascism, mass media production, white male supremacy, economic hierarchies, social injustice, hunger, poverty, marginalization, etc. are all the result of the forgotten Goddess – the female figure. Her thoughts, opinions, creativity, inventions, actions, love are suppressed, forgotten, and/or lost. Nothing is to her complete potential, and she is taught to live in fear, desolation, and adapt to a powerless persona unless it benefits the world that god – men constructed.
Whether or not the Goddess ever reached her full potential and existed in a world free of the patriarchate, she does exist. She is there in the depths of our minds, in the crevices of our hearts, in the trajectory of our souls. It is ultimately our choice if we choose to let her escape from the shackles which have been placed upon her. We must question what was (in history) in order to delegate what will be now. The Goddess is there, and once we relinquish her to abound in all of her glory, only then will we progress into a more neutralized, harmonious existence in this world we continue to occupy and consume.

An excerpt from my novel in progress The Third Day. This is a tension filled scene in which the two main characters confront each other.
After seeing Janus at Ranko's funeral I went straight to my workshop in the store, I took off my suit coat, loosened the tie and rolled up the sleeves of the dress shirt. I hooked up the battered hard drive we had found at the house Janus had told Ranko he was living at. The dirty and dented hard drive had been sitting on my workbench for a couple of days, I hooked it up and made some adjustments and suddenly it lit to life spewing out directories onto the monitor the neon green glow illuminating the surrounding darkness. I went through file after file that Janus had thought deleted or destroyed and found lists of safe houses and names of people who supported his effort, payments made to him in large sums. I had everything I needed to find Janus and stop him. Next to the hard drive was the book of matches Ranko and I had found in the ruins of Janus' house, the Club LAMERIKA, Ranko had said that's where all the war profiteers hung out. I had to give Janus the same chance he had given me I owed it to my friend.
It was easy to find the Club "LAMERIKA, I walked into the club and the first thing that hit you was a wall of sound, a throbbing emanating from the darkness. As my eyes adjusted to the darkness there were POPS of reds, greens, and blues from Christmas tree lights blinking on and off. I could see people dancing on a cleared section of the club, others standing around a bar and around the walls of the club, booths, and in one sat Janus wearing his white shirt and leather jacket surrounded by beautiful women. I walked over to the booth.
"Vlad! My old friend! you look terrible." He was obviously drunk.
"It's raining out."
"What're you doing here?"
"Looking for you."
"How did you know where to find me?"
"I didn't, I was told that people who profit from the war come here to celebrate."
"We aren't celebrating, we're trying to forget the death of an old friend and the war for a few hours."
"I know you're the sniper." Janus looked at me cooly while he sipped his drink.
"What sniper?"
"The sniper everyone is talking about. The sniper that can shoot great distances. The sniper whose gun has such a unique report that the victim hears the shot that kills him."
"What does that have to do with me?"
"None of that sounds like a champion marksman with a Mauzer awarded to him by Tito himself?"
"I know what you think of me Vlad, as some kind of predator. But it seems like you're the one stalking me, who's the predator here? The sniper could be any of us, all of us on the team have those guns."
"I've accounted for all the guns except one, where's your gun?"
"Where's yours?"
"At my store."
"I haven't seen mine in years, the last time I saw it was at my father's cabin."
"It's not there, I was there with Ranko when he was killed."
"The cabin has been abandoned for years anyone could have taken it from there. Anyway, you shouldn't have been there."
"You suddenly seem to have a lot of money to celebrate while others suffer."
"It's what's left of what little my father left me as an inheritance."
"I'm just here to warn you, you warned me, I'm returning the favor, to give you a chance to leave."
"Leave?" He looked around feigning shock.
"Leave the country, I'll help you, otherwise…"
"Otherwise what?"
"I'll have to stop you."
"I doubt it."
"You've courted death your whole life, but you can't live with that knowledge, you've lived your whole life in fear of it, and what has it brought you? Has it made you any wiser than others? It hasn't brought you any peace, just violence and death, you've always been hunted, more haunted than hunted."
Janus smiled at me, "your arguments have gotten better over time, but then you went to college."
"You had the same opportunities as me, maybe more, you were the hero of the Olympics."
"So, you're going to kill me, is that it?" I stared at him coldly, hoping to see my friend in the eyes of this person I no longer knew. "You told me before this war began that I haven't learned compassion, if you kill me or try to murder me, where has your compassion gone?"
"It's still there, it's there for the innocent people that you gun down in the streets, the people who can't escape your sights. And it's there for the boy who was my friend that I'm trying to save."
"Better to save yourself."
"When we try to save someone it's not the body we're trying to save, it's the person, the mind, the individual, that unique perspective on the world that makes each of us special, important, and Janus was important, important to me, important to the world." This enraged him.
"Innocent?! Who is innocent? No one I tell you, and that boy you knew is dead and I killed him."
"You're not the boy I knew."
"Has it occurred to you I could just kill you here?" He pulled out a gun from under the table, pointing it at me. He looked at me, I think he was hoping it would scare me. "You're right a lot of people here are from a darker side of the war, they're my friends, I could kill you and they would help me take your body out and throw it in the street, another victim of the war."
"That's not part of the game for you, you can't kill anything or anyone face to face, you like your killing impersonal, abstract, safe, a target down range."
"I'm not going to kill you," he said, putting the gun down on the table, "not because you're right, but because I'm right about you, you'll never do it, if you could do it, you would have done it already."

Stevenson looks for knockout vs Gvozdyk in WBC title fight
QUEBEC CITY (AP) — Canadian Adonis Stevenson says he needs "just one punch" to defeat Oleksandr Gvozdyk, while the Ukrainian believes the long game will lead to victory.
They'll fight for the WBC light heavyweight championship on Saturday at the Videotron Centre.
Defending champion Stevenson (29-1-1, 24 KO) knows undefeated Gvozdyk (15-0-0, 12 KO) will be a tough opponent.
"He's hungry, he will want to go far in the boxing match," Stevenson said Thursday at a news conference. "But as the fight goes into the late rounds, he will become tired because I will be hitting him hard."
The 41-year-old Stevenson said he'll be going for the knockout, a strategy endorsed by trainer Sugar Hill Steward, nephew of the legendary Emanuel Steward.
"I love knockouts," Steward said. "No disrespect to the other fighters, but my late uncle always said, 'Don't leave anything to the judges,' so that is why Adonis will be going for the knockout."
Stevenson's last fight was May 19 in Toronto, when the bout ended in the champion's favor after a majority draw against Sweden's Badou Jack. It was Stevenson's ninth successful title defense since winning the belt against Chad Dawson in 2013.
Gvozdyk was a bronze medalist at the 2012 London Olympics. He'll have Teddy Atlas, boxing analyst on ESPN for the last 21 years, in his corner.
"We have a plan, we understand what's in front of us," Atlas said. "We came up with a plan to disarm the bomb that Stevenson has."
Atlas also said the champion's age isn't a factor because Stevenson's fights tend not to last long.
"He's like an old car that has been kept in a garage and just came out for short rides," Atlas said.
The 31-year old Gvozdyk trained the last eight weeks in California. He compared Stevenson's age to that of Bernard Hopkins and George Foreman, who enjoyed success in their late 40s and early 50s.
"It depends on how you maintain your living conditions; what you eat, how you train, so age is not a factor," Gvozdyk said.
He said his chances of winning get better as the fight gets longer.
"My height and my patience are my advantages in this fight," he said. "It's my time, I had a great camp, I'm ready."
Also Saturday, Marie-Eve Dicaire of Quebec will take her perfect record (13-0-0) in the ring against IBF female super welterweight champion Chris Namus (24-4-0) of Uruguay.

A simple liquor derived from juniper berries, gin is one of the most diverse spirits and is, unsurprisingly, a favourite tipple with the Brits. This weekend sees London celebrate the 10th World Gin Day and the city is packed full of tempting offers. Head up to the Aviary rooftop bar to take in views of the UK capital while sipping on a gin-based Old Fashioned cocktail, or escape the city's hustle and bustle at The Summerhouse, with its beautiful canal-side location in the Little Venice neighbourhood. It is the perfect spot to enjoy the summer sunshine as you sip a Sweet November gin cocktail, made with cherry juice and garnished with orange peel. In this guide, we pick some of our favourite gin hotspots to get our taste buds tingling this Saturday.
To celebrate the event, pub chain Young's is giving away a free pink gin and tonic in over 100 of its pubs this Saturday to anyone who downloads its On Tap app – we don't think it gets much better than that.

The ancestors of this Ford Mustang for sure are saying: What the hell went wrong with the new generations, diesel, where did this come from? It's known, pure gas, that's our main food.
Everyone can speak what he wants, but as we repeated many times, diesel cannot be underestimated. To be honest, it sounds awful, diesel-powered Mustang? Let's check the performance of the Cummins Diesel engine 4BT to see what it can offer.
They are not impressive, 3.9-liter 4-cylinder Cummins Diesel with 105 hp and 265 lb-ft of torque, we think it's ridiculous. But this is the stock engine. The engine in the Mustang in our video is pretty much the same but with different transmission and higher output, 169 hp and nearly 400 lb-ft of torque but still not close enough to beat some real opponent.
The guy who custom built it, owner of the customizing shop Wholesale Dealer Services of Missouri, says the same, pretty much everything on the car is stock, he just plans to make it faster soon with a compound turbo, but until then the car is a slow-motion machine.
We leave on you to decide, but first watch the video and tell us what you think about diesel Mustangs, and for this model also.

Featured Testimonial - HBS
Applying to any business school can be stressful given not only the application requirements themselves but also the daily job requirements that can leave you little time to work on the applications. Bryan proved instrumental in helping me balance my day to day job requirements with my application requirements. In many ways, to me, Bryan was part psychiatrist, part advisor, part partner in the development of my applications. He helped me both stay on top of deadlines and refine my thoughts as I developed my essays. Beyond the application itself, Bryan helped me prepare for my interviews and was not afraid to call me out when I sounded immature or arrogant. More than that, he actually built up my confidence to make me believe I was qualified to get into a good business school, which luckily for me, turned out to be HBS. Regardless of which business school you want to go to, Bryan will be honest at all times with you and help you aspire to achieving that goal. I highly recommend you use Bryan when preparing your application. I promise you will not be disappointed.

WARSAW, Poland (AP) � Avoiding a last-minute breakdown, annual U.N. climate talks limped forward yesterday with a modest set of decisions meant to pave the way for a new pact to fight global warming.
More than 190 countries agreed in Warsaw to start preparing "contributions" for the new deal, which is supposed to be adopted in 2015.
That term was adopted after China and India objected to the word "commitments" in a standoff with the United States and other developed countries.
The fast-growing economies say they are still developing countries and shouldn't have to take on as strict commitments to cut carbon emissions as industrialized nations.
"In the nick of time, negotiators in Warsaw delivered just enough to keep things moving," said Jennifer Morgan, of the World Resources Institute, an environmental think tank.
The conference also advanced a program to reduce deforestation and established a "loss and damage" mechanism to help island states and other vulnerable countries under threat from rising seas, extreme weather and other climate impacts.
The wording was vague enough to make rich countries feel comfortable that they weren't going to be held liable for climate catastrophes in the developing world.
The United States and other rich countries also resisted demands to put down firm commitments on how they plan to fulfill a pledge to scale up climate financing to developing countries to $100 billion by 2020.
That money is meant to help developing countries transition to cleaner energy sources and adapt to shifts in climate that can affect agriculture, human health and economies in general.
"I think we had a good outcome in the end. It was quite a tough negotiation," U.S. climate envoy Todd Stern said.
The U.N. climate talks were launched two decades ago after scientists warned that humans were warming the planet by pumping CO2 and other heat-trapping gases into the atmosphere, primarily through the burning of fossil fuels. So far they've failed to reduce those emissions.
Historically, most emissions have come from the industrialized nations, but the developing world is catching up fast, driven by rapid growth in major countries including India, Brazil and China � the world's top carbon polluter.
Though China has invested heavily in renewable sources, it's reluctant to promise emissions cuts internationally because it still gets almost 70 percent of its energy from coal, which produces the highest emissions of all fuels.
The talks were paralyzed for hours yesterday until China and India dropped demands for a reference to an article in the 1992 U.N. convention on climate change that says only developed countries are required to make commitments to cut emissions.
Western countries want to get rid of that "firewall" in the new climate deal, which countries have agreed should be applicable to all.
"In my understanding the firewall exists and it will continue to exist," Indian Environment Minister Jayanthi Natarajan said, indicating the issue is far from resolved.
The Warsaw conference called on parties to announce their offers to rein in or cut emissions by the first quarter of 2015 if they are "in a position to do so."

WASHINGTON — The government is warning health workers and the public to beware of peddlers of illegal flu vaccine trying to take advantage of current shortages.
Don't miss these Health stories
More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.
- Larry Page's damaged vocal cords: Treatment comes with trade-offs
- Report questioning salt guidelines riles heart experts
- CDC: 2012 was deadliest year for West Nile in US
- What stresses moms most? Themselves, survey says
- More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
The Food and Drug Administration is investigating attempts to bring unlicensed vaccine into the country and at least one case of someone not licensed to practice medicine giving shots purported to be flu vaccine.
"Reports we're following up on indicate that the demand is so high that people are apparently willing to obtain the vaccine in any number of ways other than through legitimate channels," said Steven Masiello, who is overseeing FDA's investigations. "Demand like this brings out all kinds of charlatans."
In one case, Washington's state health department has turned over vials of questionable vaccine to FDA, seeking to verify what was in injections reportedly administered by a counselor. Counselors are not licensed to administer injections; investigation of the worker is ongoing.
In a second case, FDA and Florida health officials stopped an attempt to import flu vaccine not approved for sale in this country.
Purchase from licensed distributors
Florida's health department alerted FDA after an unlicensed company offered to sell the state half a million vaccine doses, said department spokeswoman Jackie DiPietre. The investigation is continuing so neither agency would identify the company or say if the vaccine appeared real.
To assure that patients receive vaccine certified safe and effective, the FDA urged health care providers to purchase inoculations from reputable distributors.
Patients can't tell if the shot they receive is legitimate. But FDA urged that they accept vaccination only from a licensed health care provider.
The FDA has licensed three flu vaccines for U.S. use: Shots sold by Aventis Pasteur as Fluzone and Chiron Corp. as Fluvirin, and the nasal spray vaccine FluMist, made by MedImmune Inc.

When one plays on my side of the media game, one ends up on a lot of e-mail lists. Inasmuch as I'm often surprised to which lists my address has been sold, I'm sure the purchasers of my address are just as often surprised that I receive their cloying missives – who would surely rather I didn't. Particularly my enemies – including Mick Robbins of VinSpinPR. Considering the tawdry attempt at solicitation pasted below, I'm sure Robbins would have remained mum had he known that I would print it here. It's a primer on word-of-mouth marketing so lacking, that mere comment risks improving it – and that's just not journalism, mates.
• • •
From the desk of Mick Robbins:
Tourist towns, such as ours, function much like airports – people from the world over momentarily converge, then dissipate, only to be replaced by an endless stream of other momentary convergences of humanity. This everlasting flow of international traffic makes both locations ideal for releasing one's idea-viruses, memes and sundry other buzz-marketing notions at a fraction of what it would cost to reach the same far-flung consumers with traditional marketing. With word-of-mouth marketing, the best kind there is, one need only speak very loudly whilst repeating one's message. Over and over. Until the police come.
Spend half an hour pacing the sidewalk in front of, say, a popular boulangerie, and you will likely hear half-a-dozen accents from at least three continents. Keep in mind that these fine visitors have never seen you before and will likely never see you again. This means they are prime targets for your messaging magic because you want them to remember your words – not you. Remember, sticks and stones can break your bones, but words can never hurt you. So, keep your sticks and stones out of it.
Now you're ready for what I call the Three V's of Word-of-Mouth Marketing: Vacuum, Volume and Volatility. And Vision. Continue reading "Word of Mouth"

Our to do application now has a
Task model and we can dynamically display variables. However, we're still manually inserting each new
Task into the HTML:
This isn't very efficient. Angular has a set of built-in tools called directives that allow us to add loops, conditionals, and other functionality directly into our templates.
In Angular, a directive is a function embedded directly into the template that can dynamically change the way the DOM appears. Much like a director directs the actors on the set of a movie, an Angular directive directs the appearance and structure of the DOM on the fly.
There are three types of directives in Angular:
Structural Directives: These change the structure of the DOM by adding and removing elements. (This is similar to how we added and removed elements using the jQuery
.append() and
.remove() methods in Intro to Programming).
Attribute Directives: These change the appearance or behavior of an element in the DOM (for instance, we can dynamically add or remove CSS styles).
Components: Components are directives, too. They can be dynamically rendered in the DOM and alter the DOM's appearance.
This lesson will focus on structural directives. We'll cover the other types of directives in future lessons.
When we learned basic JavaScript in Intro to Programming, we often wrote code that looked like this:
$(document).ready(function() {
var tasks = ['Finish weekend Angular homework for Epicodus course', 'Begin brainstorming possible JavaScript group projects', 'Add README file to last few Angular repos on GitHub'];
tasks.forEach(function(currentTask) {
The code above loops through the
tasks array, using jQuery to append each array element to the
to-do-list class.
However, jQuery can be very finicky. In addition, jQuery often leads to what's called "spaghetti code" in larger applications, which is exactly what it sounds like: code that's tangled and messy like spaghetti!
ngFor Repeater Directive
Fortunately, Angular has a directive that makes this kind of looping much easier. Let's replace our
firstTask property with an array of
tasks in our root component's
AppComponent class.
export class AppComponent {
tasks: Task[] = [
new Task('Finish weekend Angular homework for Epicodus course'),
new Task('Begin brainstorming possible JavaScript group projects'),
new Task('Add README file to last few Angular repos on GitHub')
We've created a
tasks property and declared that it will contain an array of
Task objects. We've also moved the one task we have so far into the array and added a few more tasks as well. (We've also removed the
firstTask property, which isn't shown here.)
Now let's use Angular's repeater directive to loop through our
Tasks in the template:

To Do List for {{month}}/{{day}}/{{year}}

{{currentTask.description}}

Pay careful attention to the

 tag. It now reads

. This is our directive. Let's break down this new syntax:
*ngFor is Angular's repeater directive. By adding this directly to the

 tag, we are establishing this

 element as the repeater template. We're instructing Angular to make an additional copy of this

 for each item in our list. We can make any element the repeater template simply by adding the directive to its tag.
"let currentTask of tasks", we're essentially doing the following:
tasks.forEach(function(currentTask) {})
"let currentTask of tasks" syntax is also very similar to functionality in ES6 which we haven't covered: the for of loop.
If we refresh the the browser, we'll see that the repeater directive has appended each task to an

 element in the DOM.
Directives can be used to hide or show areas of the DOM using a conditional statement, dynamically add or remove CSS classes, and more. You can even define your own custom directives. As our applications grow in size, we'll learn more directives to manage dynamic, on-the-fly changes to our DOM.
For more information, check out the Angular Documentation for Structural Directives.
