LinkedIn introduces university pages
LinkedIn is the latest social networking site to expand its offering, this time as it introduces university pages.
Although the site had previously appealed to professionals hoping to connect with contacts both past and present, the university pages open up similar opportunities to students.
They include a number of features that are expected to benefit not only existing students, but also those who hope to attend university in the future.
This creates real opportunities for anyone using social media marketing to target students, or those who are considering attending university.
LinkedIn is using the pages to provide regular updates on campus news, as well as give students the chance to ask questions and engage with the institutions directly.
Users can also log on to see which notable alumni graduated from their university of choice, giving them something to aspire to as they start their own degree.
There is even the option to see what previous graduates have gone on to achieve in their lines of work, as well as the skills they have gained and where they have ended up living as a result of their degree.
Much like the standard version of LinkedIn, university pages give the opportunity to create networks with their peers – and once they have left, stay in touch with fellow alumni.
As of September 12, LinkedIn will also be made available to high school students for the first time, as the site hopes that they will use its features to investigate universities and future career options.
In Australia, anyone aged 14 or over will be granted access to the site, although special safeguards have been put in place to protect these users.
For example, different default settings will limit which information can be viewed by the public and to block any unwanted communications.
A link to the safety and family centre has also been created so there is easy access to information on how to safely use the site.

Ethan was the first of his cast mates to arrive, making a beeline for the second floor. Although he was overheard telling friends how tired he was, he made his way over to a seating area, dancing the whole way there. He was dressed casually in all black. Emile Hirsch was in great spirits mingling with guests while Trudie Styler was seen dominating the dance floor, throwing her arms in the air and celebrating the film.

If you're looking for some last minute Christmas fun for your family, then you can find plenty to do in and around Louisville, Kentucky.
LIGHTS and SIGHTS
Christmas in Charlestown
For families on a budget, driving around and looking at light displays can be a fairly cost effective solution. Of course, with the cost of gas being what it is, this may or may not be the best option for you. If you are interested in bundling the little ones in the car and going on a Christmas sight hunt, you'll want to head across the river to Charlestown, Indiana. There you'll find a wonderful light display on the square. The light show is animated and people rave about the experience. If you don't mind spending just a little money and you want to get out of your car, there are also horse drawn carriage rides. You can visit Santa's Workshop, where your children can make various arts and crafts and top the evening off with a cup of hot cocoa or hot apple cider.
KaLightoscope Christmas
The Galt House puts on this light show and also has many interesting features during the holidays. There is a dinner show available, Christmas shopping, a gingerbread village that is human size and events with Santa. KaLightoscope. The cost is about 18.00 to see the light show or $60 for the dinner show. There price is the same for all ages.
Derby Dinner Playhouse
Derby Dinner features dinner and a play. During the holiday season, the playhouse puts on various holiday shows. This year the show is Plaid Tidings, but this varies year to year and based on the season. One of the best values are the daytime children's shows. These shows typically do not include a meal, but are as reasonable as about $10. Groups can get a bigger discount.
Lights Under Louisville
If you've not had a chance to see the man-made Mega Cavern, you'll want to take your car and drive through this holiday light show. It is the only underground light show of its kind in the world. The cavern is so large that you could even drive a bus into it. Plan to spend at least 30 to 40 minutes seeing the different lighted sculptures. For the best experience, roll down your windows so you can also hear the Christmas music playing. It runs $25 for a normal size car, so pack it full of kids and cousins to really get your money's worth. Also, if you stop at the Wendy's on the corner, you can get a $5 off coupon.
Unique Ideas
If none of the above ideas appeal to you, you might want to come up with your own holiday tradition. Visit the Louisville public library and gather up some children's books on Christmas. Create a play with kids in the neighborhood and put on a show for your neighbors. Go Christmas caroling with a group of friends. If Louisville doesn't offer want you want for your Christmas, perhaps you can start a new Louisville tradition that others can benefit from.
Merry Christmas and enjoy the sights!

Sugared Pecan Crumble Topped Sweet Potato Caramel Scones tastes like a mix between Sweet Potato casserole and a Pecan Pie. They are sweet and tender with a buttery crunchy topping thanks to the struesel and pecans.
I tested these Sugared Pecan Crumble Topped Sweet Potato Caramel Scones both with and without the sugared pecan crumble. I also tried them with and without the caramel sauce. I'll admit, the plain sweet potato scones are lovely. They hearty and filling and perfect for brunch. They are not too sweet with a nice sweet potato flavor. I added pumkin pie spice and cinnamon to give these scones that warm familiar taste.
If, however, you want to impress, serve these Sugared Pecan Crumble Topped Sweet Potato Caramel Scones to guest or want a sweeter scone, you'll want to top them with either or both the sugar pecan crumble and caramel sauce.
Sugared Pecan Crumble Topped Sweet Potato Caramel Scones
- I used this recipe for the Cinnamon Sugared Pecans for the top of these scones.
- I used this reicpe for the Caramel Sauce for these scones.
- To save time, you may want to purchase pre-made caramel sauce (ice cream sauce). You can either use plain or toasted pecans instead of the Cinnamon Sugared Pecans or purchase pre-made sugared pecans. Although, I always think homemade is the best way to go.
- Want more decadence, serve Sugared Pecan Crumble Topped Sweet Potato Caramel Scones with Honey Butter!! I've included a quick recipe in the notes section of the recipe below.

- 1/3 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup sugared pecans see link in post
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce see link in post
- Prepare a cookie sheet with non-stick spray.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
- In a large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, salt and baking soda.
- Cut in butter until it has course, pea-sized crumbles.
- In another bowl, whisk eggs, sweet potatoes and buttermilk.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Combine until moistened.

New API Brings EPIC Earth Imagery to Developers
Daily imagery data taken by the Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera is now accessible via a RESTful API available from the ...
One of the most popular websites at NASA is the Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD). In fact, this website is one of the most popular websites across all federal agencies! Each day, a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer.
Given the popularity of APOD, many developers want to integrate its images and descriptions into their websites or mobile applications. In order to aid these efforts, the APOD API was developed. It provides an HTTP interface where developers specify a date, and then receive information for that date's APOD as a JSON object.
Want to see it in action? Visit: https://api.nasa.gov/planetary/apod?api_key=DEMO_KEY&date=2017-07-12
It may not look so impressive compared to the actual APOD website, but that format is much easier for computer programs to use.
Two new updates to the API will allow for greater flexibility in the types of requests that developers can make. The API limits the number of requests that each developer can make--in order to prevent spam--which created a problem for developers who wanted to access more than one APOD, since the requests needed to be done individually.
To allow developers to retrieve multiple images in a single call, three new optional parameters have been created: start_date, end_date, and count. The start_date and end_date parameters are used in conjunction to make a request for a given date range that then returns all images between the start date and end date. If an end_date is not specified, then the API defaults to the date on which the request is made.
The count parameter must be a positive integer that is less than or equal to 100, and specifying it will return an array of count randomly selected images between the first day an APOD picture was posted--June 16, 1995--and today.
Check out these brand new calls that return multiple APODs at once!
The APOD API source code has been made available under the Apache License, Version 2.0 and is located at the official NASA APOD GitHub Repository. You can report any issues there, and pull requests are always welcome!
Jennifer is the newest member of NASA's Open Data team. She supports NASA's open source efforts by helping to make data available to the public through the Open Data Portal, by maintaining and updating NASA Open APIs, and by contributing to Space Data Daily.

The research will examine how the low latencies and high bandwidth of 5G can make the most of watching live sport or entertainment using Virtual Reality
BT have announced a collaboration with Nokia to research how 5G can be used to broadcast live sport and entertainment in high definition virtual reality.
The two companies are showing how the technologies can be used at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona at the Home Experience demonstration area at the Nokia stand.
VR headsets, set up with a replay of the Champions League match between Tottenham Hotspur and CSKA Moscow at Wembley stadium which was filmed by the eight-lensed Nokia OZO virtual reality camera, are on show at the Home Experience area for people to try.
The experience provides the viewer wearing the VR headset with a virtual VIP experience within the stadium with a 360 degree view and 360×360 surround sound, giving the viewer an un-matched viewpoint.
The content, provided by BT Sport who covered the match on television, is being transmitted to the Home Experience area courtesy of a radio link based on Nokia 5G technologies and Intel's 5G modem solution.
BT CEO of technology, service and operations Howard Watson said: "5G and VR are both technologies with enormous potential.
"This exciting joint research with Nokia is allowing us to explore how they can work together with transformative experience for our customers int he future.
"Drawing on the high bandwidths and low latencies of 5G will allow us to go beyond the already compelling VR experiences that are possible over 4G, and cater for more interactive future VR content."
Nokia head of the 5G business line in mobile networks Harold Graham said: "Nokia is excited to be showcasing at Mobile World Congress the true potential of 5G.
"Virtual Reality, in particular, has enormous potential, both for entertainment as well as other applications, so our demo with BT in barcelona is a compelling way to create both excitement and understanding of that potential."

If you're already taking different drugs, do not mix with Noopept as it may lead to adverse drug interactions. People today take smart drugs as a way to knock out constant or short-term tiredness.

The New York Observer has issued its top 10 list of best restaurants for dining alone. The reviews don't describe what makes the establishments comfortable, or fabulous, for solo diners. Although the write-ups are most drool-worthy.
We'll have to hope they chose them for good reasons.
A reader added his own critique of a restaurant not on the list. Joe's Shanghai at 9 Pell Street. "They have tables for 10 and a single diner can be seated at any one of them and feel very comfortable." He says you may be alone but you won't be lonely.
Having grown up just north of NYC, my family toured and dined a lot in "the Big Apple." And visited grandma on the Lower East Side. New York is one of those cities where you can do just about anything - including play the guitar on the streets half naked or have hair died in a range of primary colors, and few people will blink.
More than just about any place, New York seems an easy city in which to dine alone because of that anything goes attitude. Plus, there's just so much to gape at! For those of you who worry the whole world's watching, my guess is the fact that you are eating alone won't even register with other diners.
And New Yorkers being the outspoken people they often are, you might find that more people strike up conversations with you there than in most other cities. I can't say that for certain, but it's such a bustling place that I think you'll find going solo a snap.

It's really not very pleasant at all to be trapped in that screaming void.
I just think you're really great and wanted to make sure you're not accidentally destroying yourself.
When do you reach the point in a friendship where you can start expressing your vulnerabilities?
It's not healthy to think about the things you could have done differently.
But what's the point when none of it is even real?
It's not right for me to miss things that weren't even real in the first place.
I just mean how nothing that we do is special. Just being in school, or working at some job for some company. It's like you're completely replaceable, and the world wouldn't miss you if you were gone.
Are people really attracted to these weird personalities that literally don't exist in real life? It's like you're siphoning out all the components of a character that makes them feel human, and leaving just the cute stuff. It's concentrated cuteness with no actual substance.
No sense having any regrets.
We're on a never-ending journey to improve ourselves, you know?
Thanks to the internet, we're really good at sifting through tons of information really quickly... But we're bad at doing things that don't give us instant gratification.
The problem with arguing is that each person sees their opinion as the superior one. That's kind of stating the obvious, but it affects the way they try to get their point across. If you make everything as subjective-sounding as possible, then people will listen to you without feeling attacked.
We're at the height of this modern expectation that everyone has to go to college, you know? Finish high school, go to college, get a job - or go to grad school, I guess. It's like a universal expectation that people just assume is the only option for them. But you have all these students who have no idea what they want to do with their life... And instead of taking the time to figure it out, they go to college for business, or communication, or psychology. Not because they have an interest in those fields... but because they just hope the degree will get them some kind of job after college. So the end result is that there are fewer jobs to go around for those entry-level degrees, right? So the basic job requirements get higher, which forces even more people to go to college. And colleges are also businesses, so they just keep raising their prices due to the demand... So now we have all these young adults, tens of thousands of dollars in debt, with no job. But despite all that, the routine stays the same.
It feels like you're just picking at complete random, and if you get lucky, you make a new friend. And comparing that to the hundreds of strangers we walk by every single day... You could be sitting right next to someone compatible enough to be your best friend for life. But you'll never know. Once you get up and go on with your day, that opportunity is gone forever. We live in an age where technology connects us with the world, no matter where we are. I really think we should be taking advantage of that to improve our everyday social life.
Being an introvert doesn't mean you shun social interaction and hate being around people. It means social interaction, especially in groups or unfamiliar places, uses up a lot of energy. Like, a lot of introverts sit at home and feel lonely and restless... And then when they finally go out, after a half hour they just want to go home again. I think if more people could understand how it works, they would respect it a lot more. Many introverts do enjoy having people around. They love just having one or two close friends over, and just leisurely hanging out. Even if you're not actively spending time together, it feels nice for them just to have you there.
Everyone has a story. You may not know what someone is really feeling on the inside. Many people who are depressed won't even bother telling the world about it. They don't want attention, because they've already given up on the inside. Their feeling of worthlessness is so overwhelming that they don't even want people to tell them otherwise. Depression comes in many forms, but that is one of them. Just, if you think you know someone struggling with depression...You can help just by treating them like they're a good friend. Spend time with them, even if they don't feel like doing much. And remind them that they always have something to look forward to. Making plans in advance, letting them borrow something, or even just saying 'See you at school tomorrow'... All of those things can help your friend make it to the next day.
Are you ready to spend our eternity together, Oppositelock?

MORGAN HOWELL : "Brown Sugar" by The Rolling Stones

Artist notes : ''Brown Sugar' is the opening track and lead single from the Rolling Stone's 1971 album Sticky Fingers. Rolling Stone magazine ranked it at number 5 on their list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time. Though credited to the singer/guitarist pair of Mick Jagger and Keith Richard, the song was primarily the work of Jagger, who wrote it sometime during the filming of Ned Kelly in 1969.

Long Exposure Photography Long Exposure Photography is something that can take your breath away when you get it right. Time Exposure Photography App make it easy.Time Exposure Photography App using lot's of video frames to sharply capture the stationary elements of images while blurring, smearing, or obscuring the moving elements. When a scene includes both stationary and moving subjects (for example, a fixed street and moving cars or a camera within a car showing a fixed dashboard and moving scenery), a slow shutter speed can cause interesting effects, such as light trails. Long exposures are easiest to accomplish in low-light conditions, but can be done in Time Exposure Photography App.Night photographyBy exposing an image for an extended period of time, not only can detail be seen in the dark areas of the scene, but the lights become streaks. Long-exposure photography is often used in a night-time setting in order to produce a near daytime effect in the photo. By leaving the camera's shutter open for an extended period of time, more light is absorbed, creating a brighter product. If the camera is stationary for the entire period of time that the shutter is open, a very vibrant and clear photograph can be produced.Light painting In this technique, a scene is kept very dark and the photographer or an assistant takes a light sourceit can be small penlightand moves it about in patterns. The light source can be turned off between strokes. Often, stationary objects in the scene are illuminated by briefly turning on studio lights, by one or more flashes from a strobe light, or by increasing the aperture.Water and long exposureLong exposures can blur moving water so it has mist-like qualities while keeping stationary objects like land and structures sharp.User GuideStep 1: Click [Load Video] button to select a night video from Photo Library or click [Record Video] button to take new videoStep 2: Reset start and stop positions to trim video with top thumbs barStep 3:Click [Choose] button to start auto merge process.Features:1:Recommend video length 5-600s2:Automatic Video Stabilization

So trying to be fitter doesn't mean it's' salad 24/7. I will admit that my food choices have been more fresh stuff and less processed… meaning fewer things that come in a box and more things that used to grow. I like to think that I'm merely moving the 80/20 rule in the other direction. Now that doesn't mean I turn my nose up at fast food or burgers. I have several fast food and junk food vices… burgers, onion rings, fries, chips, wings… generally anything associated with Sunday afternoon football viewing. Everything is better deep fried and battered.
I also watch Food Network a lot… might be where I spend the majority of my TV viewing time. Shows like Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, The Best Thing I Ever Ate and You Gotta Eat Here are not to be missed… where the art form, that is diner food has been elevated. Overall it's a nice counterpoint to shows focusing on places like The French Laundry, Alinea or Per Se. Now I'm not knocking those places… known meccas of the culinary world (least North America)…. I'm just saying that I could likely get the same rush from an out of the way rib joint in the middle of nowhere.
This brings me to my short list of my go-tos when I absolutely need quell a food fix.
Burgers: The Burger's Priest
Insanely good. I very close to home and I started going here last summer as a bit of a tradition with my eldest son after soccer. It's a tiny place and it serves up American West Coast style hamburgers… cooked on a flattop. Theirs is a secret menu, not unlike In-N-Out and if you don't know what's on the secret menu, they won't tell you. My son has had debates with his fellow Grade 2s around which burgers in Toronto reign supreme… is it a bad thing that he mocks the McDonald's lovers or is it a refined palate? If I gotta do fast food burgers… then it's got to be A&W. Double Teen Burger.
Wings: Duff's
I've tried wings all over the place in Toronto. Baked, Fried, Naked, Sauced (last two refer to the wings… not me). No one gets is as right as Duff's. I ordered several pounds a few years back for the Superbowl and brought them home… they were outstanding… huge wings, lots of meat , perfect amount of sauce. I wish they were closer. The only places that comes a close second are the Real Sports Bar (by the Air Canada Center) and Buffalo Wild Wings in the US.
Indian Food: Indian Rice Factory
First place I ever tried Indian Food in Toronto… and still reigning champ in my book. Lucky for me, there is a place down the street that I can easily walk to that also serves up some great Indian Food. It's called the Delhi Bistro and it's pretty convenient.
Pizza: Queen Margherita Pizza
Real Napoletana Pizza. I've heard Pizza Libretto is amazing… but since I live on the East side of Toronto… I'll go with what's accessible to me… it's my fix and travel time plays a part. Terroni has three locations in Toronto and I've been to two of them. Also great pizza and great Italian food overall.
Fried Chicken: The Stockyards
I went here based on the feedback by folks on my old team (who were also nearly as food obsessed as me). I went with the family one night and it lived up to the hype. What a difference when people focus on the product and the process. If I'm forced to do a chain… then I take Mary Brown's over KFC or Popeye's.
BBQ: Barque Smokehouse
BBQ has had a slight resurgence in Toronto with established joints and new spaces opening up. I've been to Barque's three times… twice for lunch with the guys from work and once with my wife for brunch on the weekend. I gotta get here with the family for dinner. I've not had anything I didn't like. Everything that I've seen go by to other tables looks mouthwatering. I ripped off their salad and make it at home (simple arugula + Parmesan + lemon juice + olive oil + salt + pepper). Just thinking about this place makes my mouth water.
Sandwich: Tie – My Club Sandwich and California Sandwiches Veal Sandwich
I'm a sucker for a good Club Sandwich. I make them myself. I learned the trade working in the kitchen at St. Hubert's in Moncton and Fredericton. I must have made no less than 1000 of these things in my time there. I make them today… stay with the classic, no substitutions, nothing weird. Bread, bacon, lettuce, tomato, mayo, chicken or turkey and maybe cheese. No pesto, no weird buns, no pancetta. Don't mess with perfection.
For the longest time, the lunch crew I hang with has been going to this place called California Sandwiches… no idea where they got the name but this place is HQ for great Italian Sandwiches. A breaded veal sandwich and a drink… that's it… no sides… because you won't have the room. You will have some options, like the ability to add on slices of cheese, how hot you want the sandwich and a few other things. Pick two toppings… anymore and the (very tasty) bun disintegrates. I always wondered about their napkin budget.
There you have it. Budget friendly go-tos. The length of the post is consistent with how much I like talking about food. By the way… the word Moncton tripped the spell-checker and I'm a little offended. I think one of the the best cities in the country deserves better.

Robyn W (fr) wrote: Shrek the Musical premiered on Broadway in December of 2008. The story begins with the story of Shrek and Fiona as children and how they got where they are today with both of their parents abandoning them. Then Shrek comes in and begins his story of his life today. Throughout the story it tells of Shrek's encounter with the fairytale creatures that were thrown out of Duloc and end up in Shrek's swamp. In order for him to have them leave he has to meet Lord Farquad's standards and rescue the princes, Fiona, for Lord Farquad. As Shrek goes to rescue Fiona he meets up with Donkey along the way and they begin their journey together. Along their journey they have to fight a dragon that protects the castle Fiona is in. This scene is probably my favorite because, unlike the movie, in the play Dragon gets to have a voice and sing. Shrek rescues Fiona while Donkey battles Dragon, who has fallen in love with him, then Shrek and Donkey both battle Dragon and all get away safely. This is where Donkey, Shrek, and Fiona's adventures begin. As they make their way back to Duloc, Fiona finds out that Shrek is not handsom prince but an ogre after he takes off his helmet and even though at first she isn't appealed by his appearance they become close friends throughout their adventure. Fiona has a secret herself though and the only one who finds out at first is Donkey. This is the part in the story where Shrek overhears Fiona telling Donkey of her curse as an ogre. Shrek believes she is talking about him and storms off only for a surprise the next morning when Fiona and Donkey wake up. Lord Farquad coming to get his princess and Shrek receiving the rights to his swamp is the surprise they awoke to. Shrek, Fiona, and Donkey then have a falling out as friends. In this part of their journey Donkey fights for Shrek's friendship and accidentally lets it slip that Fiona is an ogre. They, as well as Dragon and the fairy tale creatures, then proceed to stop the wedding of Fiona and Lord Farquad. After they stop the wedding and Shrek expresses his feelings for Fiona and she shows her true self as an ogre, Dragon eats Lord Farquad. After this, the story ends, how every fairy tale story ends, happily. Shrek not only makes friends but falls in love within the story. The music within the story tells of their journey and feelings and this is what makes the story come alive to the audience. The bigger meaning behind the story is what captures your heart and makes you realize what true love is. This meaning being that true love doesn't see what's on the outside but what's on the inside.This Broadway production is my absolute favorite. From the songs to the jokes and dances this show never seizes to amaze me and catch my attention. If you ever get to see it whether it be on Broadway, a major theatre company, or a community theatre you should go see it. It provides a love story that's not just ordinary but extraordinary and has such a powerful meaning behind it. It also is closer to reality, even though it has fictional characters, and gives a good example about love.The show is amazing from the beginning. The moral behind the story is powerful and shows what true love is about. The story that is told is one that is rare and should be told to everyone. This musical provides fun, entertainment, excitement, and a heartwarming story that, in my opinion, is one of the best ever.

Cheap and Fun Ways to Celebrate National Watermelon DayEnjoy a glass of watermelon juice while hosting a watermelon carving competition on Aug. 3.
If Aug. 3, 2017, seems like any other Thursday to you, then you clearly don't know about National Watermelon Day.
Celebrated annually on Aug. 3, National Watermelon Day honors the cool and refreshing fruit that is a summertime staple. The most-consumed melon in the U.S. by weight, the watermelon is low-calorie, contains no fat or cholesterol and has low amounts of sodium, meaning it's healthy as well as delicious.
There are plenty of ways to honor this juicy fruit on its special day, from whipping up a pitcher of watermelon margaritas to hosting a summer party (or both). Keep reading for tips to celebrate National Watermelon Day without spending too much money.
Plant a Watermelon (or Two)
The best way to celebrate National Watermelon Day is to nosh on watermelon slices, reserving the seeds for planting. To grow your own watermelon, you will need 10 to 15 watermelon seeds, a planting pot or a sunny outdoor piece of land, dirt and water. Follow these instructions from the National Watermelon Promotion Board to turn your watermelon seeds into a beautiful fruit:
- Fill the pot with dirt. (Skip this step if you're planting directly into the ground.)
- Place seeds approximately 1-inch deep into the dirt.
- Water immediately and once per week.
- Expect to see plants budding in roughly 10 days.

Make Your Own Watermelon Face Mask
Watermelons contain 92 percent water and are jam-packed with nutrients like Vitamins A and C, making them great for the skin. National Watermelon Day is the perfect occasion to test the skin-boosting benefits of this fruit by making a do-it-yourself mask.
Follow this recipe from beauty, health and wellness blog The Beauty Bean to see if watermelon can help you get softer, more luminous skin:
- Mix 1 tsp. watermelon juice and 1 tsp. plain Greek yogurt.
- Apply the mixture to your face, letting sit for 10 minutes.
- Rinse the mask using cool water. Dab dry with a towel.
Learn How to Carve a Watermelon
There's no reason carving fruit should be reserved for October. On National Watermelon Day, try your hand at watermelon carving.
The National Watermelon Promotion Board website has an entire section where you can learn how to carve a watermelon, including step-by-step directions and helpful videos. Look to it to create your own watermelon animal sculpture or basket to hold watermelon chunks and other fruit. You might find this cheap summer hobby so fun that you continue carving throughout the year.

Throw a Summer Party
Watermelons and backyard summer cookouts go hand-in-hand. On National Watermelon Day, invite a few friends or neighbors over to your abode for a party.
Stick with the theme of the day by serving grilled watermelon and other watermelon-based dishes, as well as watermelon beverages like watermelon margaritas. If you don't have any go-to watermelon recipes, fire up the grill and try the following Grilled Spicy Watermelon recipe from the National Watermelon Promotion Board.
Ingredients: 1 Tbsp. lime zest, 1/4 cup lime juice, 1/4 cup honey, 2 tsp. garlic chili sauce, 1 medium watermelon
- Preheat the grill.
- Whisk lime zest, lime juice, garlic chili sauce, salt and 3 tbsp. honey.
- Cut watermelon into 1-inch thick wedges.
- Drizzle watermelon with remaining honey.
- Grill watermelon for approximately two minutes per side, or until lightly browned.
- Remove watermelon from grill and drizzle with lime dressing made in Step 2.
Host a Watermelon-Eating Contest
A silly way to celebrate National Watermelon Day is to host a watermelon-eating contest with your friends. The object of a watermelon-eating contest is to be the fastest person to eat a wedge or slice of watermelon down to the rind. Official watermelon-eating contests stipulate that contestants can't use their hands, though you can certainly modify this rule for an at-home contest.
If your guests prefer not to gorge, try a watermelon seed-spitting contest instead. All you need for this event is a flat area, a tape measure and plenty of watermelon seeds.
Attend a National Watermelon Day Celebration
There are plenty of fairs and festivals throughout the summer, but only a handful are dedicated to watermelon. Some of these festivals are held on and around National Watermelon Day, including:
- NC Watermelon Festival: Aug. 2-5, Murfreesboro, N.C.
- Outer Banks Watermelon Festival: Aug. 3, Nags Head, N.C.
- Water Valley Watermelon Carnival: Aug. 4-5, Water Valley, Miss.
- Knox County Watermelon Festival & Great American Grill-Off: Aug. 4-5, Vincennes, Ind.
If you can't travel far to celebrate National Watermelon Day, just head to your local Tropical Smoothie Cafe. Guests who buy a full size wrap, salad, sandwich or flatbread through their Tropical Rewards App will get a free Watermelon Mojito Smoothie Aug. 3-8. If happy hour is more your thing, head to Bonefish Grill on Aug. 3 for a Fresh Watermelon Martini — or any martini — for only $5. Just looking for a quick watermelon-flavored pick-me-up? Head to Whole Foods from August 3-6 and snag two bottles of WTRMLN WTR beverages for just $5.
For more watermelon festivals throughout 2017 and beyond, consult this everfest calendar. Also check your community calendar and social media for any watermelon-related events.

Philanthropy Act
Philanthropy is the effort or inclination to increase the well-being of humankind, as by charitable aid or donations. We want to help poor or person who is in real need of money.Varshyltech always comes up with a new and innovate ideas. We have so many Charitable firms and helping Aids organizations in our country. We can take help of such organizations and the amount collected can be given to them but our motto is to give money who is in need of it. So we have decided that we will give the money to strangers and ask a question if you get a certain amount of money what you will do with it if we are satisfied with the answer we will give that amount to the stranger. Stranger can be anybody He/She can be from any part of the world. This time the stranger was our Office Guard, Many times we noticed that he is not having a fan in his room and still he is managing with the Delhi Hot and Humid temperature. So we decided if we help a guard by giving a certain amount he can buy the fan it would be really helpful to him, but as we always do we ask the question and found out that his financial condition is very bad and hardly he is managing the things. So our philanthropy act this time helps the office guard and we can see smile on his face. It was a little contribution from our Varshyltech family but our little combined effort help the person who really needs it and we are satisfied that amount given to a person is in right hand and right use.

Canada's obesity rates are shockingly high-according to statistics from 2014 20% of Canadians reported as obese. An overweight classification made up 40% of adult males and 27.5% of adult females. That is mind blowing! What's more, according to The Heart & Stroke Foundation, 62% of adults surveyed reported intentionally losing 5 or more lbs in the past 5 years but failed to keep it off.
Basically the research says that we are increasingly overweight, we are also trying to lose weight BUT overwhelmingly failing to keep it off! What gives?
I believe it comes down to a combination of a few things. First of all, as a nation we are shockingly undereducated on nutrition. Seriously-the average person understands how to fuel their car better than how to fuel their body! And it's not our fault-we simply aren't taught this. Now with a multi BILLION dollar dieting industry taking full advantage of this lack of knowledge while promising a quick fix, it's no wonder we are where we are. Seriously-where I live there is an ad running on the radio promising 1lb of weight loss every day. That is insane! So NOT healthy, completely unsustainable AND at 1lb a day you are losing water and lean muscle-the very things you need to KEEP to maintain a lower weight.
So I've made a list and come up with the 4 things I see the most in my practice. These are things you need to change. If you are guilty of one or more of these mistakes and you turn that around, you WILL see results-I promise. So-lets get cracking!
- You Don't Eat Enough (good) Fat. I know, I know.....the fat free craze got to most of us. And I totally get it-I mean fat making us fat makes perfect sense. Except that it TOTALLY doesn't work like that. Sugar makes you fat. Seriously. When you eat super processed carbs like pastries, white bread, white rice, white sugar, cookies, candy etc your digestion processes them really really quickly causing a lot of sugar to flood the bloodstream all at oce. Cue insulin, who comes in, takes one look at all that sugar floating around, says no way are we going to use it all and tells your body to store it as fat. BOOM. So fix this by eating good quality fats like avocados, olives, coconut oil etc. You ideally want at LEAST 20% of your calories coming from fat and even up to 40% in some cases.
- You Don't Eat Enough. Period. Again, it makes sense that if calories in don't equal calories out we will lose weight. The more the better right? Once again, NOPE! Your body is too smart for that and evolved to survive times of famine (where weight loss was not considered a good thing). Instead of immediately burning up fat stores in times of lower intake, our metabolisms actually sloooooooooow right down and try to conserve as much fat as we can to ward off starvation. Basically-you may lose weight at the beginning of a severely calorie restricted diet, but as soon as you start eating normally again (which I promise you will), you will gain it back and then some thanks to that lowered metabolism. What to do? Figure out how many calories you need for your weight, height & physical activity level (there are calculators on the internet for that, or work with a professional) and don't restrict by more than 20% or so. Slow and steady weight loss keeps your metabolism where it is, making it much easier to keep that weight off!
- You're Bingeing At Night. You know the drill-we all do it: you've been good all day, it's 8 or 9 o'clock and its time to sit down and chill out. Except you are HUNGRY! And tired.....and feeling good about your healthy choices all day....soooooo you reach for the chips, or ice cream, or a bit of chocolate, or wine........whatever your weakness is, because research shows our willpower tanks at night, especially when we are tired. AND our brain craves a reward because we have been depriving it all day. How do you avoid this? Well for one, stop being so damn virtuous during the day! Its actually better to indulge earlier in the day when we still have a fighting chance of burning through the extra energy! If you know you're always craving something sweet by 9pm then try having a little dark chocolate as part of your morning snack and then choosing something like an apple with almond butter in the evening or greek yogurt with fruit. Both us these are much better bed time choices. If alcohol is what you just can't give up then don't. You'll end up sabotaging yourself if you do. Instead stick to one drink and pair it with some nuts to ward off the blood sugar spike.
- You're Falling Victim To The 'Fake' Health Foods. Marketing's a total bitch! Companies are smart, and they know all the buzzwords that you want to hear. No sugar added! Fat free! Natural! Organic! Gluten Free! None of these terms mean ANYTHING good without context! But slapping something like this on a box makes it much more desirable. If you think you may be falling victim here, you're definitely not alone! Instead of trusting labels read the ingredients and check to see how much sugar is in what you're buying. If it has more than 8g per serving-I'd leave it.
Well-that's it! Thanks for reading-I hope this was valuable for you!
Until next time,
XOXO Laura

Oh boy. Before hand I will note that most of these will be link between each other, because thats how problems tend to be, always linked with each other in a glorious mess of things.
-Being hindered by the fact that the story revolves around selling the toys. I know its Lego and that is their goal, but most of the time they are only trying to make stuf look cool for kids or sculpt the story so as you, the consumer, will buy their product toys. By it self is understandable why the company is doing that, its just hindering it from its full potential. There is so much you can expand with this concept of Robots, magic, nature that its a shame really.
Having no expanded universe besides the one given by One writer and Lego. Greg is a good written, but he is not the only one out there. There are a lot of good writers that can flesh out different aspects of this world that Greg cant and in a way we never saw from this franchise. Im pointing to Star Wars as the best example because they made their EU so interesting and so great (shout out to the Thrawn trilogy), that most people would still to this day consider some major events in it canon.
Inconsistency between media. I agree with this because, what we see as canon is from the books, comics, movies and trailers. With most of them not following any cohesion in terms of story telling, which basically made the story of Bionicle so convoluted in the first place. Having a stable EU is essential if we want this franchise to last longer than the next cancellation and not being "selling toys" dependent.
-(This is still up for debate as the G2 story has not come out yet). Not doing a proper reboot of the story. While most would say it was necessary to start from scratch I tend to disagree because of the fact that the story of the previous line could have still be considered and expanded upon...if this new story was link with it. Time travel in fiction is always tricky to pull of, but if done properly is amazing. Same thing was done with numerous Terminator movies, and most resent, The Star Trek series. It made that, the previous story was still there, it still had meaning and significance, but it also was linked with the one we have now so that by the time you get to G2 you have this massive EU that you can keep adding too without having to tell the story of what a Toa is, or what a matoran/villager is (if they did let loose with the EU, shrug).
These are just some of them, more I will evaluate afterwards if interested.
I can not stress this enough, that we need a proper Expanded Universe in order to make this franchise a long lasting one solely outside of Lego marketing influence. Easier said than done with a toyline from such a company like Lego.
Edited for Double Post -Nyran
You say this, and then go on to list almost exclusively subjective cons and opinions., such as
Well they're sorta validated
like the rest of this topic
...wow Deja Vu
Anyway I guess to add more to the list of cons would be....
...Eh I got nothing to think of. Anyone else got more cons we could talk about?
I personally don't consider this a con. For one, it means they practically have to keep the story interesting and engaging. They need to pander to fans to keep it going. Also, any mainstream story you see is made to make money. Money, money, money is the ultimate goal for anything mainstream, even books and comics. Money.
I agree so so much. The only reason the Star Wars Universe is(was) so expansive and good is because they allowed multiple writers to work on their own stories. If LEGO had hired two or three more writers we could have gotten such a huge expansion and a heck of a lot more lore. Also, we might not have as many loose ends after the end of G1 because wrapping up all those stories as one already, insanely busy author, it just can't be done. Ideas were ultimately rushed and I don't think we got the endings we needed.
Well you have to consider the fact that with such widespread media coverage, you really need to get your point across quick and easy, which for LEGO, is "Buy our BIONICLES." so things like commercials and the little LEGO magazine comics aren't going to be "good" for canon. However, even the movies weren't made to be so in-depth. Many of the events in the BIONICLE story took much, MUCH longer than what a two-hour movie can cover. It's a limit of the medium. However, with things such as video games and books being able to tell such large stories themselves, it makes me sad that the games weren't even meant to reflect canon. After all, LEGO's primary goal is to sell their action figures, not their games. (Well, now it is, but before 2010 they weren't really focused on their games beyond L:SW) So that leaves the books and the serials as the only really acceptable canon. Those were meant to be in-depth and complex. Granted, maybe not as complex as it eventually was, but you cannot deny the fact that LEGO wanted to save their complex story for the books. Books they, once again, weren't focusing on selling because they were only meant to boost BIONICLE.
^^I'm going to bring this up again, since it was never really branched upon. What did/do you guys think about scale? I personally think that with the use of CCBS for BIONICLE G2, we have a much better chance of accurate scale.
Oh, definitely! As long as the building system doesn't change much the scale shouldn't change.
From looking at the sets, Gali is the only set that shows femininity out of all of them. Unless some of the protectors are female and both male and female protectors have the same build, which honestly doesn't really bother me, its like Nokama was as a turaga, she had the same build as the others.
If they only have the protector of water and Gali as the only female characters this year, I'm going to be pretty disappointed. But right now due to lack of story right now, its hard to say.
I just posted this in the retcon topic, but I just realized how many things in BIONICLE just existed for the sake of the plot, or even the sets, that had vague/undefined/unlimited powers. I understand having to explain the sets, but still, seriously...-The Ignika-The Red Star (Okay, I know it has a defined power, but it's kinda cheap how no MU inhabitants can really die. I mean really though. LHIKAN! NO!!!KnevermindLOL)-The Pit Mutagen-Energized Protodermis-Adaptive Armor
EDIT: Also there were too many "being controlled by another person/evil/darkness" sort of things in the plot. Not that it's a bad thing, it was just a bit overused.-Infected Masks-Krana-Kraata (which are related to the infected masks I guess...)-Zadakh/Nuurakh/Bordakh staves-Hordika Venom, to an extent-Zamor spheres-squid-shadow leeches-the Golden Skinned BeingI probably missed a couple
squids just drained your life force and killed you. They never controlled you.
also, the Mask of Mind Control, too. And Annona.
I still think almost everything (especially in regards to powers/abilities) in BIONICLE is somewhat undefined, which makes it hard to play out logical scenarios/battles in my head (though it's not nearly as bad as Harry Potter IMO).
I dunno man, it could've been worse. In the ENTIRE Glatorian/Spherus Magna line, there was only one singular female that made it into a set; Kiina.
Very true. I mean, the Inika/Mahri, and even the Metru, hardly ever used their elemental powers (at least visibly) whereas with the Mata/Nuva, elemental power was a larger focus. (eg the Nuva Symbols)
The Metru couldn't use their powers for most of the time they were Toa because they exhausted them fighting the Morbuzahk. In the books leading up to the Hordika transformation, they used them a ton.
The Inika had their mask powers, elemental powers, electricity powers, Toa tools and Zamor launchers. They didn't even need their elemental powers.
I think its a shame that the story wasn't self aware that the characters were constraction figures. Not in a breaking the fourth wall sort of way but more akin to how the toa Mata built them selves and how they literally arrived in what they were packaged in.
Yeah, but would you want them to take the route of... uh... every other Lego anything, where the plot is focused around taking apart things in the environment and rebuilding them into completely illogical but somehow effective methods of plot resolution?
Imagine if the canisters were EXACTLY like the sets, as in the sets were already somewhat assembled
I agree the gender restrictions were stupid. Most other fans do as well.
However, I disagree that the grittier feel of the later years was inherently bad; sure it got kind of goofy in 2006, but somehow I found it more interesting than the rainbow magic happy land you seem to want it to be. I mean, I may be misinterpreting this, but you seem to be citing the first three years' tribal mystique as a bad thing, which is frankly one of the stupider things I've heard in my life.
I'd rather have quality over quantity when it comes to female characters, though of course, ideally the two shouldn't have to be mutually exclusive. And admittedly not many of the female characters we had were written the best, aside from Gali, Nokama, and Hahli. Still, just dumping loads and loads of female characters into the story won't help one bit if the way they're written doesn't improve as well.
I only got majorly into the details of the story maybe a year or so before it came back, although I have been a fan for much longer. And I'm pretty much a human Bionicle encyclopedia.
How is this relevant?

Is the iPad Pro the future of laptops? Apple thinks so
Apple wants you to believe that the iPad isn't just a tablet, but the future of the computer. Are they on to something?
The consumer electronics giant now sells iPads with the "Pro" branding, starting at $599 and ranging in price to $1,229. That jumps to a laptop-like $748 and $1,398, respectively, if you opt for the Smart Keyboard. In marketing terms that means Apple is upping its tablet game to appeal to laptop users. And to make the iPad Pro as appealing as possible, the Smart Keyboard option can, theoretically, turn the iPad into a laptop.
Over the past couple of weeks, Apple has been revving up its push to win over PC consumers and business users alike.
This week Apple started running an iPad Pro ad entitled "What's a computer?" The answer: "Just when you think you know what a computer is, you see a keyboard that can…get out of the way. And a screen you can touch and even write on."
So, the computer of the future has a keyboard. But that's just one of several options for data input. That thinking hasn't been lost on Microsoft, which has been aggressively promoting its tablet-laptop hybrid Surface products for years.
But with two iPad Pro models on the market – the 9.7- and 12.9-inch – Apple is pushing harder to redefine the personal computer paradigm. And CEO Tim Cook has been one of the biggest cheerleaders.
"The iPad Pro is the...ultimate replacement device for customers switching from PC notebooks," Cook said last week in Apple's earnings conference call, repeating what seems to be a new mantra. Last year, he told the Independent that "I'm travelling with the iPad Pro and other than the iPhone it's the only product I've got."
"Apple goes where their bread is buttered. The future is in iPad and mobile devices," Jerry Zigmont, owner of MacWorks and an authorized Apple Consultant, told FoxNews.com.
But does that mean that Apple is going to give up the MacBook? No, says Daniel Matte, an analyst at market researcher Canalys.
"I feel very confident that Apple is far from done advancing and pushing Macs," he said in an email.
"While the iPad and iPad Pro can very much replace a traditional PC for many people, maybe even most, they will probably never be a complete replacement for the PC. There is inherent value to a Mac with a mouse and keyboard," he said.
Evidence of Apple's continued commitment to the laptop is the 12-inch MacBook, introduced last year. "The new 12 [inch] MacBooks are a strong hint as to where Apple is taking the Mac," Matte added.
Hurdles for the iPad Pro as a complete laptop replacement
Personally, I'm lucky because I can work in both paradigms. I use both the 12-inch MacBook and 12.9-inch iPad Pro with the Smart Keyboard interchangeably every day. A lot can be said for a traditional clamshell laptop with a fixed keyboard and a trackpad, and the precision of the mouse and keyboard can't be overstated. And editing tools, for example, are still heavily skewed toward traditional laptops. Not to mention, the majority of mainstream "productivity" (aka, work) applications favor the precision of the mouse/keyboard.
That said, the iPad Pro is more versatile because of its touch-screen (and option for pen input), and I find myself using the Pro and the Smart Keyboard more every month. Will the day ever come when I put down my MacBook for good? That depends on what Tim Cook and Apple dream up in the future.
