March was an especially tough month for me, in both my personal and work life. I don't believe in using my blog as a journal, but I just thought it important to explain why my posts have been a little sporadic. That's also why today's recap of my March peaceful act was especially difficult for me to write. As you know from this earlier post, my birthday is on St. Patrick's Day (March 17) so I am now one year away from 30. A coworker told me about six months ago that 29 was the year she figured out what she was doing with her life and her career. And basically said that seems common at 29. Talk about pressure! So of course, weeks before my birthday I started worrying that I had nothing in my life planned out. And essentially drove myself crazy the month of March trying to figure out what I have to accomplish before I turn 30 in 12 months. Needless to say, I didn't feel much peace in March.
I didn't realize just how stressful my birthday month would be, so I probably didn't choose the best peaceful intention for the month. Keith will talk more about it in his section as guest blogger, but we decided at the end of February that we would both like to lose a little weight and start to feel overall healthier. On March 1, we both weighed ourselves and took body measurements. I'll just admit now that not a single number decreased for me after 31 days (at least none increased though). Here is what I did in the month of March toward trying to feel a little more at peace with my body and health:
1) Attempted a liver cleanse. Basically that means I started every morning with a glass of unsweetened cranberry-apple cider vinegar-lemon juice. The recipe is 4 oz (or 1/2 a cup) of unsweetened cranberry juice (not cocktail), 1 tbsp of apple cider vinegar and 1 squeeze of lemon. You drink it 1 full hour before eating and *don't drink* alcohol for 1 month. It is supposed to help cleanse your liver and keep you feeling fuller throughout the morning.
* I attempted to not drink for the month. I think I made it 2 weeks. It was my birthday though.
2) Took vitamins and supplements daily. I have never been very good about taking vitamins regularly but I'm trying to form a better habit. Every morning last month, I would insure both Keith and I took a multivitamin. Then, as part of My Fit Food's 21-Day Challenge that I had done previously, I took vitamin supplements during lunch every weekday (you're supposed to take them twice a day but I always forget at dinner). The pills I took were cinnamon (has antioxidants and supposed to help with cholesterol and blood sugar), milk thistle (anti-inflammatory and good for the liver), CLA (helps with weight loss), and fish oil (prevents strokes, lowers cholesterol, and bonus, good for the skin). I'm still keeping up with all the pills and am hoping this month to actually start taking those 4 supplements in the evening too.
3) Drank homemade apple-ginger-carrot juice 1 - 2 x's weekly. I've read lots of health benefits to consuming ginger and of course carrots over the years, so after also reading this article, Keith started making this delicious juice for us to drink a few mornings a week. The apple is just to sweeten it a little but over the month, he started adding more and more carrots and ginger so by the end, our juice was practically neon orange (and super spicy!). I'm pretty obsessed with it now so I'm hoping we keep this up regularly.
4) Prepared lots of super healthy meals. I love finding new recipes on Pinterest, especially really healthy stuff that is easy to make and we both love. I took pictures of some of my favorite meals throughout the month to share with you, along with a few recipes that I highly recommend you make yourself.
Keith and I both enjoy cooking, trying new recipes, and preparing healthy meals. Some of our favorite healthy recipes are chia pudding, sweet potato patties, quinoa and sweet potato chili, turkey sloppy joes, parmesan pesto tilapia, and pretty much anything with kale.
So all of these healthy tips probably sound great, right? But here's the truth and reason why my March intention didn't work out as well - I often treat myself when we go out and after a long run. I excuse myself indulging in fries or dessert from time to time because we work out regularly, much more than I did in my early twenties for sure. It was my birthday month, and I think I got about 4 different birthday cakes, which I promise I didn't eat entirely alone but they didn't exactly help. I don't feel more at peace with my health or physical appearance after one month of attempting to, but over the past few days I've been realizing I've been snacking a little less and feeling less hungry throughout the day. So I'm trying to convince myself that's progress and if I keep it up, I'm sure I can get a little closer to my health goals.
I also learned a valuable lesson during my March peaceful act. I need to be more focused on inner peace if I'm ever going to feel better about myself, my work, and my goals in life. I do not believe I'll have everything figured out before I turn 30, or ever for that matter, but as long as I keep working at making myself the best possible version I can be, then at least I'm making progress. And I'm hopeful my April acts will be a little more successful in these goals.
As Alanna mentioned above, my March accomplishment was intended to be a dramatic overall of my diet and workout habits with the hopes that a few pounds might be shed along the way. While I felt alright about some of our progress this month, I remain the same weight I was the month before, and thus am having difficulty counting this venture as an accomplishment. BUT, as it so happens, something else momentous occurred this month…our team finally wrapped post-production on the film we've been editing for the past year and a half. The film was shot in L.A. during the summer of 2012. For those who don't know, most films have an editing period between 4 and 6 months. A year and half is almost unheard of, but that's the nature of the types of films I work on. We are allowed significantly greater experimentation in the edit than most standard, Hollywood fare, but this comes at a cost, namely in the difficulty at which the final product arrives.
I won't go into the gruesome details, but after 14 hour days, 6 days a week, I'm proud of our accomplishment. The film is called Knight of Cups and stars Christian Bale, Natalie Portman, and Cate Blanchett. It should arrive in theaters sometime late this year or early next year. I'm taking the next week off to rest and mentally prepare myself for the next film, which will begin in full effect the Monday I return. It's hell sometimes, but it's the life I chose. Still, nothing feels better than locking up a film that's been so chaotic, so cumbersome, and so frustrating up until the final moments, when I'm able to take a step back and see that, wow, we really did it.

This is a very clear and vivid demonstration of a future classroom with sufficient implementation and effective use of various progressive technologies. Although this video does not contain a single word it shows how students can be actively enrolled in the learning process and how greatly they show zeal for education and gaining knowledge. I believe that students from this type of innovative classrooms and schools are going to be many steps ahead comparing with students with more traditional approaches in teaching and learning, as well as they are going to be more prepared for real fast-changing life in global village and succeed in it.
This video has also empowered me to use innovations in my own classes, despite the fact that I belong to more conservative type of teachers, who prefer usual group work or error correction and feedback than googling and web-chatting. I realized that innovations and new technologies should not be taught in our Kazakhstani schools as a separate subject but should be implemented and additionally used in all subjects to help learners use up-to-date gadgets effectively. However, it does not mean that innovative technologies are solutions to all the problems in schooling but they may become very effective tools to foster the current situation and connect the education with real life and real students' needs to get ahead in it.
In case of our country, the issue may be that the government and the Ministry of Education make big investments in these fields and provides schools with new and modern technologies but there is a lack of specialists who can deal with these innovations. So, computers and Internet are used for entertainment or simple chatting in social networks, smart boards are used as whiteboards, IPods for watching films. For this reason teachers should be properly trained how to use these innovations for maximum effect and benefits.

It's been a long fight, a good fight, a fight to keep the invertebratistas down in the inky depths. And even though, at the bitter end, we could not keep them at bay, I am very grateful about the response I got from the BABloggees. It was amazing to see so many people jump right in -- and not just for me, but for all the science blogs nominated, all of which are excellent. I read most of the nominees every day.
At the risk of sounding maudlin, remember, we are talking about science blogs -- and as far as Pharyngula and I (not to mention Panda's Thumb and others, too) are concerned we are also both skepticism blogs, and anti-antiscience blogs. The world at large categorizes us as geek, dweebs, and sometimes (literally) heartless, and evil, and emotionless. Yet this campaign was run with humor and fun and zaniness. Science fans jumped right in to support whichever side they wanted, and it was amazing and fun to see how it played out.
And I could not have done it alone. If I had, I would only have had 7 votes.
So now, as promised, it's time to show The List, the long list of people who have supported me and Bad Astronomy by urging their friends to show a little backbone. All of the folks linked below wrote a blurb on their blogs, their sites, telephone booths, and bathroom stalls across the world to put the Bad Astronomy Blog where it is: the very very oh-so-nearly best science blog in the world for 2006.
Now listen up: some of these links are, to phrase it delicately, Not Safe For Work (NSFW). Those have been labeled appropriately. If you are a minor or at work, don't click them. If you are a grownup and/or at home, click them with abandon.
The List of Bad Astronomy Supporters

- U Dream of Janie sometimes NSFW (for the occasional, um, adult situation)

Many Massachusetts parents who have gone through a divorce rely on the financial support paid to them by their former spouses in order to provide for their children. However, there are some individuals who are either unable to make their child support payments, or who simply refuse to do so. What some might not know is that a person who fails to pay court-ordered child support could be sent to prison.
One out-of-state man has recently been sentenced to prison for failing to make his child support payments. The court decided that he will serve between 12 and 32 months in prison and pay back child support. When he was sentenced, the man owed more than $20,000 in payments.
It was revealed that this man was, in fact, financially capable of making the court-ordered child support payments. Unfortunately, he chose to neglect the needs of his children. He was given multiple opportunities to make his payments by the state of Nevada, but he refused to do so.
Fortunately, most parents do what they can to financially support their children. Parents living in Massachusetts who are going through a divorce, or parents who are struggling to collect or make child support payments, may benefit from contacting an attorney. Attorneys may be able to help clients who are struggling to make their support payments to get the amounts of those payments adjusted to better fit their income. They may also be able to assist clients who are not receiving court-ordered payments needed to provide for their children.

Community management is all fun and games, but you have to get a solid group of reliable admins and moderators behind you. These individuals help you filter through and monitor the content in your forums, effectively extending your capabilities and allowing you to oversee a larger community. We've gotten pretty good at it and that's thanks, in part, to our successful recruitment of moderators and admins.
1. We built a clear schedule to onboard new customers and manage their community. There's nothing like a solid bit of planning. By laying out a path that had already brought us success in the past, we were able to establish clear timelines and meet projections for growth and reach. This kind of stability and the accompanying success attracts good moderators. And we took on big exciting projects that moderators wanted to be a part of.
2. We updated and upgraded content on our website. This might sound trivial at first, but your website is where everyone goes to get detailed, up-to-date information on who you are, what you do and where you're headed. Moderators and admins especially rely on your website being filled with helpful, updated content they can refer to. Basically, we tried to make their job effortless.
3. We posted at the right times in the right forums. Every subreddit, Facebook group or Telegram chat has its own characteristics. Where are participants from? Will they be awake at night? When's the best time to catch the attention of users who will be interested in working with your project? This takes a little trial and error, although you get better at it every time you do it. Without knowing when to post on which platforms, you'll never reach the potential moderators and admins you need, no matter how interesting your company is.
4. We reached people who believe in us and liked how we worked. We followed up on leads and identified opportunities wherever they cropped up. This sort of go-get-em approach eventually leads you to the right people who will like what you do. Then you know you're in the groove.
The bottom line is that the moderators and admins we work with came to us. It was our job to show our dedication and put ourselves out in the public sphere for exposure and opportunities. They saw we were good and strong and they got as excited about us as we were about them. That's the meaning of team.

The video and photos are beyond amazing, and every last detail is absolutely perfect! We will cherish this as long as we live. Thank you from the bottom of our heart, for helping us create and perfectly capture the best day of our lives!!You have truly made all my dreams come true. I am forever grateful to all of you!
Incredible professionals, very good at their job with vast experience that makes them understand everyone's needs immediately!! They knew the style of the wedding we wanted, and so were able to help us and make the stress go away!Our most important thing was that we felt immediately comfortable with you and faithfully followed every instruction! We laughed, we played, improvised and finally everything went super!!!!!Your work shows how much you try for every couple that with through the video and photos, render their philosophy and feelings!
Studio Phosart was recommended to me by a friend who used the team for their wedding a couple of years ago. My friend told me that if I did not use Studio Phosart she would not speak to me again – this is how confident she was and how happy she was with the work they had done for her own wedding. She was not wrong. Studio Phosart, I don't even know how big I can thank your team. We would like to send you the biggest heartfelt thank you for all of the attention you gave us from start to finish. The biggest thank you is for the amazing results of your work the pictures and video which will bring joy to us and our friends and family for many years to come.
I was very careful choosing a photographer and a videographer, as after the wedding only photos and videos will keep our memories alive.:)Working with you was really amazing for me and my husband.You were very attentive, hardworking, interesting people.Everyone of our guests, by looking to our photos and video, can't believe, that they were there.We got a lot of compliments from other people we even don't know.With you, our wedding became more colorful and romantic. We couldn't even imagine that.When our photos and clip of our wedding were shared to our social media, the reaction of people was unbelievable.Everyone told me, that it was like a fairy tale movie.We will always keep in touch with you guys, as you are the best of the best.And I hope we will work with you over and over again!
When your having a wedding abroad with a handful of your closest family and friends the photography for me & my husband seemed a million times more important. We told them what we wanted from our photos/ cinematography and they understood and was patient with us and our requests. Our main thing for us was to feel relaxed, not pushed or pressured into cliquey photos that looked unnatural. From the start to the end they was incredible. They was honestly the best team. They was so much fun and have a natural eye for a special moment. They literally caught every bit of love that day. I didn't think it was possible of capturing such photos. When any of our friends and family look at our photos/ short movie they gush with compliments and say how well our photographers captured so much love and happiness. They are insanely talented, thank you so much for everything.
From day one we have felt like we have been in good hands, the day that we met Chris and Jo we instantly felt at ease, they knew our exact style and we knew we had chosen the perfect team! They are so talented and ridiculously good at what they do. I feel so grateful and like I could never repay Phosart for giving us the most beautiful gift of keeping our memories alive. We will always be able to look back at these photos and videos and go back to our special day, you have captured every moment in its true form, showing all of the exact emotion and beauty. I could truly never thank you all enough.
We would just like to say how pleased we are with our photos and video.We love our photos and our video offers us to relive our day over and that is priceless.We couldn't of had a better team behind us to capture our day.Everyone was so friendly, easy and professional to work with that it made us feel like we had known each other for years.Our thank you to everyone and we hope to see you all again some day when we are in Santorini or if you come to London.
I cannot thank you enough! I am absolutely in love with it all! The movie is incredible and I am so happy we can relive it. We are so thrilled to be able to share this special day with our family and friends back home. The best day of our lives will forever be cherished and we have a keepsake for a lifetime thanks to you.

Have you noticed there are more people around our neighborhoods recently?
In recent years, we found out that there are an increase in 3 generations live together under on roof. It might seem an odd choice to have all three generations under the same roof. As usual, couples usually look forward to moving into their own home after marriage but this was not the case nowadays.
It's because the property prices nowadays are very high and not all of the married couples have the ability to have their own home. They ended up living with their parents even after they have their own kids.
This season, HOMEDEC will be featuring it's showhome theme 3-GEN Living and Design designed by multiple projects award-winning local interior design consultant form – Essential Integrated Design Sdn Bhd (EDI).
HOMEDEC will be building a double-storey unit, measuring at 384sqm (4,133 sqft), that will be featuring spaces for all 3 generations and also some common areas such as dining an living hall.
"This time, homeowners will get to see in real the work of EDI and its team through this 3-GEN Living and Design Showhome. HOMEDEC is more then just an exhibition – it's a marketplace to source products and ore than that, it is the annual place where the feature showhome takes pride of place. It's where reputable designers introduce to visitors the ideas of space planning. HOMEDEC has it all," said Dato' Vincent, President to CIS Network (organizer of HOMEDEC)
Don't miss a chance to experience the 3-GEN Living and Design Showhome this coming 20th Oct 2016 – 23rd Oct 2016 (Part 1 – "Design and Renovate") and 27th Oct 2016 – 30th Oct 2016 (Part 2 – "Furnish and Decorate")- at KLCC Convention Center from 10am-8pm.

Today, the weather was nice. The sky was clear and i knew the sunset going to be perfect good. I tempted for very long time to capture the sunsets using time laps with my video. I didn't use the camera because my camera doesn't have the time laps function device to take a time laps photography. I don't think it is necessary to take time laps using photo camera except one doesn't have a video camera with the time laps function. Now days, most of the video camera has time laps function called interval frame recording.
I only managed to spent one hour at the sutera harbor marina because my friend needed to go back early. I think the time is adequate for a first time test shot. I plan to do a time laps for 12 hour in future or a growing beans or flower. We will see then.

Not sure if I should continue looking for a driver that will work for 6.7 or just get something like a TP-Link PCI card for which there is a driver available.

Hi everyone, this is going to be a general chit chat post to fill you in on my latest purchases and new finds. I wanted to say hello to my newest followers. It is exciting for me to know that I have managed to attract 152 people to come read my little blog. Don't be shy do leave comments.
I am loving Twitter at the moment. Thanks to a retweet I discovered a local Christmas Craft Fair and Farmers Market so have spent the day mooching around. One stall stood out to me and that was Dilly Daydream, a beautiful collection of shower caps, the perfect gift idea. My BF and I picked up Chelsea Buns at the Farmers Market. They are as big as my head OK perhaps not but they are almost as large as a side plate. Yummy!
I discovered Miss Polly via Twitter and today I received a soap I had ordered (along with a little freebie). Miss Polly soaps are free from parabens and SLS. Let me tell you these two little soaps smell divine. I can not decide whether to keep them for myself or give them away as Christmas Stocking Fillers.
I found Organ Deli Crackers (Multigrain with Poppyseed) in Sainsburys. They are Gluten & Wheat free, Dairy Free, Egg free and Animal Derivative free. I would describe them as mini crispbread perfect for dipping. The final treat of the day is my favourite dark chocolate marzipan bar. Dairy free, Gluten free and suitable for Vegetarians and Vegans. Delicious!
I hope everyone is having a great weekend? Don't be shy and leave a comment below, tell me what you bought this weekend or any great food you enjoyed.

If the (Golden) Shoe Fits…
The Citrus County Board of Commissioners came to Far Out Awards looking for a unique trophy for their company-wide walking challenge. At Far Out Awards, we love nothing more than a good challenge, so we assured them we would deliver. However, before creating a custom Far Out Award, we like to find out some background on what the award is for and what the customer has in mind:
The Citrus County Government has a Health and Wellness program for their 700+ employees, all were welcome and encouraged to participate in the walking challenge. To participate in the challenge, employees needed to form a team of 2-12 members. Each individual participating in the challenge was to count the amount of steps they took from wake to sleep over a 6 week period (we assume using pedometers or some other tool to assist). Team captains collect step logs from the team members and a leader board is updated weekly with the amount of steps each team has to date.
The total steps from each person within the team is averaged amongst the entire team (meaning a 2 member team with 1,000 steps each will beat a 6 member team with 300 steps each) ensuring a level playing field for teams of varying sizes. The team with the highest averaged amount of steps at the end of the 6 week period is deemed the winner and is awarded the Golden Sneaker until the next team wins and takes the sought after prize into their possession.
HR Administrative Director, Debbie Weber, worked closely with us to create the perfect Far Out Award. With such a large amount of employees, we knew the award had to make a big statement, something that would really stand out and become a highly coveted incentive to promote participation in the walking challenge while still working with a budget.
Debbie was imagining an old, worn-out, classic-style sneaker, something like a Converse Chuck Taylor All Star. We got the sneaker, went to work to make it look worn and used (that was a fun challenge) and then painted it gold. We got the perfect wood base and covered it with artificial grass turf, then secured our Golden Sneaker to the top. Debbie wanted the award to be perpetual so the winning team names could be added on the award as the Golden Sneaker is passed along from challenge to challenge, so we engraved and added the perpetual plates and the award was complete!
Debbie got back to us recently after the first challenge to send us a picture with the winning team, the "Booty Busters." The team looks great, fit and happy with their Far Out Award!

Local Franchising Fine, Says Cablevision
Cablevision said Tuesday that Verizon's latest local franchising deal--in Hempstead, N.Y.--demonstrates that there is no need for a national video-franchising law.
Such a law, which Verizon has pushed hard for, is being marked up in the House Commerce Committee Wednesday.
Verizon has been the most aggressive telco in rolling out video (its FiOS fiber optic service), but says it could roll out more quickly with help from the government; it points to the local franchising process as the bottleneck.
"Although we continue to believe that this franchise will let Verizon pick and choose which residents receive its new services," Cablevision said in a statement, "this approval demonstrates that it is not hard for the phone company to get local franchises if it participates in the process.
"Verizon should stop trying to change state and federal law and instead work with local governments.
"We will continue to deliver excellent products to our customers and will vigorously compete with the fourth provider of television service in the Town of Hempstead [including satellite and local broadcasters]."
The FCC has an open proceeding to consider whether the local franchising process is an impediment to the rollout out of video and high-speed Internet service, the latter a major government interest. The telephone industry insists it is, saying that it can sometimes add two years to the process, while the cable industry says it is no obstacle though it would prefer speeding the local process to establishing a national franchise system.

Movement can be key to improving mental health
Taking some gentle exercise and ensuring that you are eating the right foods can give an enormous boost to your well-being, writes Karl Henry
Mental health has never been more open, or more written and talked about than it is now. It is fantastic to see Ireland so aware of depression and all the other aspects of mental health — and it is so helpful to those who suffer.
One of the key areas that we know can make such a big difference to everyone, not only those with mental health problems, is movement and food. We know that the food you eat and drink plays an incredibly important role in your mood — there is a direct link. But, also, the amount and the effort level of your movement plays a key role, too.
Firstly, I am not a doctor. I am in no way claiming to replace any medication with food and movement, but I do think that medication can sometimes be the first thing to be used to fix a problem that can also be effected with exercise and food first.
Let's look at how movement can effect your health. When you move, you force your body to circulate, to change, to function. You force your body to release hormones into the blood stream, hormones that will make you feel good. These hormones are fantastic for your mood, your mind and your body, but — unfortunately — you won't get them from sitting all day. It can be as easy as walking to the shops, walking up and down the stairs, stretching, cycling a bike or, to be honest, absolutely anything that gets your heart pumping and your energy flowing.
It is one of many reasons that team sports can be so beneficial. The group environment provides a structure, a network, a reason to get you to the session. Even if you don't want to go to the session, your friends will text or call you and get you there, you won't want to let them down. The media is full of stories from athletes lately telling us just how supportive their teams have been when coping with their mental health issues.
If you are reading this column and you're having a bad day, then you need to move. Put down the paper, move for a few minutes or longer and watch what happens to your mood, your outlook, your opinions, your stress levels and whatever else is causing your bad day. They will change.
Ideally, the crucial point to note is that to get the very best results from your exercise or movement, you need to push the body a little. Getting slightly out of breath is the point at which some of the very best benefits occur, this is where you will gain the most, so don't be afraid to push the body a little bit, and as you get fitter, keep pushing the body a little bit more to get the best benefits.
Adding some structure to your exercise can help too, something like a couch to 5k programme can work wonders, simply download the eight-week plan and off you go, culminating in an event such as a Parkrun. Resistance exercise, when done as part of a balanced exercise routine, can be one of the most beneficial forms of exercise. Using your body as a weight, or lifting any kind of weight is resistance exercise, and it's incredible for your mental and physical health. Just be careful to avoid any extreme or cult-like exercise regimes as these will become totally addictive, which is never good. To summarise, the key message for mental health and exercise is just to move more. Movement is crucial to improving your mental health, move more to feel better.
In terms of food, it's equally as crucial. The food you eat is directly related to how you feel as well as your weight. Highly processed foods with E-numbers, preservatives, additives and lots of sugar will make you feel great for a short period of time, followed by a sugar crash that will have you feeling low a few hours later, leading you to crave even more. On a mood level, you are happy then sad, productive then unproductive, high then low. Good then bad. Don't believe me? Using your diary, track your mood and food during the day. You will feel good for the hour after you eat and then an hour or two after that you will notice a drop in your mood. The key for food is to eat :
* Real foods
* Foods you have to prepare yourself
* Foods with short shelf lives
* Foods with few ingredients on the label
* Avoid diet and fat-free foods
* Increase your water intake
These are simple guidelines that will make a huge difference to your mood and your energy levels, especially if you combine this with moving more too.
Mental health has never been more topical. There is more information out there than ever before. Talk to someone, eat better, move more and lets see.

C-SPAN Video: Viguerie Hosts Conservative Leaders for Post-Election Analysis
Yesterday, CHQ Chairman Richard A. Viguerie hosted conservative leaders for a Post-Election Analysis and discussion of the future of conservatism. Full video through this link.
Penny Nance: Hillary Clinton is Wrong on Life, Religious Liberty, and the Rest of the Conservative Agenda
Donald Trump is not a perfect candidate, far from it. However, as a pro-life American, I must not contribute to the destruction of human life. I could never support Hillary Clinton, and if you disagree with her policy — woman or man — you should vote against her. In this election, that means voting for the only other viable candidate, Donald Trump.
Michele Bachmann's Real Legacy
She showed that socially and fiscally conservative, responsible women have a place at the table.

Many thanks for Pibella. It is a truly wonderful development. It only took two attempts in order to feel secure using Pibella. The third attempt proved to work perfectly. As I travel a lot, it is a relief not having to use a dirty toilet again. This is very nice for healthy people. I can imagine just how helpful it must be for bedridden women. It is great to know that there are people who invest so much time and energy in this project. I am much obliged to you! I will surely recommend Pibella to others.

Becoming the next Uber is only possible when bringing your ideas faster to your end users. Some aspects of DevOps are perfect for that as it only works if Ops and Dev work closely together. But what does this mean for you as a developers? Delivering code faster with the high chance of failing faster?
In my opinion we need to look at Key Technical Metrics such as Memory Usage per User or Request, # of SQLs, # of Service Calls, Transferred Bytes, ... - these are metrics you need to track starting at your workstation all the way through CI into Ops – and don't forget the Business: How often is the new feature really used? What does it cost to run it? Let these metrics act as Quality Gateways and stop builds early before they Crash your System: faster than ever.
In this session we look at how companies like Facebook, CreditOne and Co apply metric-driven DevOps. We look at use cases that crashed rapid deployments, identify metrics that identify the reason of the crash and learn how to use these metrics to steer your pipeline to build better code, deploy faster, without failing faster!

2017 Carnival a Record-Breaking Success/
Much fun was had by all last Friday night, with a record-breaking 1500 children and adults attending this year's Bonny Slope Carnival. The event was offered free to BSE families for the second year in a row, thanks in part to this community's tremendous fundraising effort. With comfortable temperatures and clear skies, the outdoor experience offered a variety of crowd-pleasing games, food, and entertainment.
"The vibe of this event truly represents the spirit and community of Bonny Slope Elementary," said Elizabeth Binghold, Carnival Co-Lead. "As many adults attend this event as children, so it was important for us to recognize and be inclusive of that. We worked to offer activities (and food) for people of all ages."
This year's Carnival held all the usual traditions that BSE families have grown to love-- including carnival games, a live dj, inflatables on the lawn, and the fifth grade pie-eating contest. New additions included a new inflatable obstacle course, inflatable skee ball, wandering superhero characters, and Koi Fusion's and Maiale di Volo's food carts. According to Binghold, the committee decided to spend less money on prizes and more on the actual experience for the kids. Prizes were still handed out (with kids digging the mini beach balls), but less of a focus.
Another exciting aspect was the introduction of Bonny Slope's new mascot, Bobby the Bobcat. "Watching the little faces light up when I entered the gym was about the cutest thing around," said Bobby. "Pretty sure I took pictures with about 50 kids."
In addition, for the second year in a row, BSE fifth graders showcased their PYP Exhibition projects through their "Action Alley," which strengthened the sense of community with students and teachers participating together. Each group had set up some sort of interactive booth to serve as an educational experience and garner support for their various causes, which included some serious topics such as refugees, science funding, education equality, children's healthcare and animal rights.
Fifth grade teacher, Nathan Traller commented, "It was pure 'teaching fuel' to see our fifth graders so energized and owning their learning. It's a little more work to teach this way, but SO worth it. All week was 'MR.T WE NEED TO...!' and no 'Do we have to?' Thank you BSCO for welcoming Action Alley to the Carnival!"
Sunset High School students, along with parent volunteers, helped make the event a huge success. "The SHS students are so fantastic," said Binghold. "Their help and participation at the event allowed more parents to hang out with their kids. And we are very appreciative of the parents who volunteered as well. For several, this was their third year; they work together like a well-oiled machine."
Thanks to all who attended and volunteered to make this year's event extraordinary, most especially co-chairs Elizabeth Binghold and Debbie Herron, and their incredible Carnival team.

Democratic Rep. Jacky Rosen, the lead challenger against Republican Sen. Dean Heller for his seat in the November election, has reportedly not been entirely truthful with the facts surrounding her credentials.
Rosen claims she ran a small consulting business in Nevada, where she says she consulted with Southwest Gas, her former employer, and Radiology Specialists, where he husband was previously a partner.
In an interview with a radio station in November, Rosen said, "[I] raised my family, I built a business – a woman in technology."
However, a public records request was filed with the Nevada secretary of state in April in hopes of finding evidence of any "Sole Proprietor Exemption" or "Sole Proprietor Registration" listed under Rosen or her maiden name during the time period of 1995 and 2005.
A Nevada secretary of state public information officer responded shortly after saying that there was no record of that information existing, even though those registrations are required for Nevada business owners.
The Reno Gazette Journal noticed this discrepancy and asked Rosen's campaign for comment on the issue. A representative said that Rosen "did not keep these kinds of forms from roughly two decades ago."
"Jacky built a career as a computer programmer and software developer for major companies in Southern Nevada, and she used those tech skills to keep working as an independent consultant," Stewart Boss, campaign spokesman, said.
"Like many moms, she wanted to continue her career in business while also having more flexible hours so she could also focus on raising her daughter," Boss continued.
Rosen is considered former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's handpicked successor, but as a Chicago native, she is not well known in the state of Nevada.
More discrepancies linked to her past have surfaced, making it seem as if Rosen is comfortable stretching the truth a little too far.
Rosen claimed she had multiple degrees from the University of Minnesota, one being in computer science.
"When I was in college in Minnesota, I actually got a degree in psychology and computers. I'm a computer programmer and systems analyst by trade," Rosen said.
The Atlantic ran an article in Jan. 2017 citing these claims, but eventually had to retract that statement when there was no evidence of Rosen's degree actually existing at that university.
Poll numbers show that Rosen is considered the narrow favorite in her Senate bid against Heller.

Wow, babies are noisy little creatures. Lily makes all kinds of noises, night and day.There's gurgling, burping, farting, grunting, chirping, yawning, sighs, breathing, wheezing, coughing, sneezing and of course crying.
Crying isn't all the same. There is the half-hearted, "I wish you would stop that" cry. There's the "I'm hungry, why aren't you feeding me" cry. Another frequent one is the "you put me down while I was sleeping and tried to abandon me!" cry. And finally, my personal favorite (favorite in the sense that I will do anything to make her stop) is the "Help! Help! These terrible people are making me take a bath. Pleeeeease, someone make them stop". Yup, that's a good one.
But the little chirps and sighs she makes while sleeping are the best. I think every newborn parent worries that something terrible is going to happen to their child while they are sleeping. Rational or not, you worry about this. Lily's little nocturnal noises let us know she is right there beside us and let us sleep just a bit better. Better in the sense of not lying awake worried ;)

A public family record may be in the pattern of a decree or a official document. A decree can be several pages extended and outlines a court's ruling on a dissolution because of marriage, or divorce, case. Matters the following covers include department of both monetary assets and liabilities for example as property held and debts were supposed to pay. Visitation and legal care agreements are way too typically outlined using a divorce decree.
Divorce certificates are out forms that do don't you include often the details a dissolution of matrimony court case. Rather, they have both the names at the parties, the court the splitting up was one thing and a new county even the dissolution of romantic relationship occurred. Reports with this "open records" approach often issue decrees as an official file of split history, during "closed records" states seem to present you only accreditations.
Certified Because Informational Copies
Certificates might be further categorized back into certified then informational versions. While solitary state requirements certified copies of sorts documents, some also have informational clones available. Both types along with public divorce records accommodate the exact information. A new difference is actually in the legal clout of each kind akin to copy.
Certified divorce certificate clones are named on county paper and after that are believed as attorney proof together with the dissolution of marriage. The interval "dissolution pertaining to marriage" typically is the genuine and exchangeable one pertaining to "divorce." You see, the most general reason in requiring the particular certified replication of another "dissolution of marriage" report is to provide proof of membership and enrollment to remarry which inherently requires in which the current marriage has been realistically dissolved. An alternative reason particular legal grounds of separation document may be desired is when a divorced person corelates for status or criminal records check now benefits this kind as an income or housing supplements.
Informational user divorce checklist copies are typically rubber stamped with words such as being "not on to be employed for requirements of free Arizona arrest records identification." These people are not admissible given that legal evidence of of divorce cases either in order for remarriage or to to find benefits. Someone who 're not given its name on divorce documents may well be allows to ask and access informational copies of this records by many advises.
Public Splitting up Record Laws
Due on the Convenience of Facts Act (FOIA) in which the United States, each state's must use some public access up to vital records — which included those during divorces. However, the privacy level laws in public split record program vary very in a variety of states. Near most "open records" states, anyone may well request some record of dissolution having to do with marriage on the way to view or have an important copy of, while all through many "closed records" states, only the entire persons called on our own documents, or perhaps even members using their immediate families, also known as legal representatives, have find rights.
In every states, those with legal authority can easily access a good solid divorce extraordinary. Persons which people want specific divorce types of file sealed fundamentally have our option using any state, although the proper treatment options must become followed. Everyone should invariably use the latest professional, trustworthy public record provider when searching on behalf of divorce stores online.

Miho & Ben SATO : Riverboat Mizuha
"Float on the water! Enjoy a delightful cruise in a small boat."
"While living in the U.S.A, I began to notice elements of Japanese culture inherited from the Edo era." Both Miho and Ben had been working abroad as employees of a multinational company. They decided to start a new life together by introducing Japanese culture and scenery to foreigners traveling around Tokyo.
East Tokyo is well known as a canal city, with several canals running between the Sumida and Edo rivers that are used for distribution and transportation by the neighborhood, like a little Venice in Tokyo. They created the custom-made houseboat named Mizuha, a small luxury riverboat with a modern Japanese style to it, and trained for 3 years to get their boating licenses and become experienced boat handlers.
You'll see a myriad of different faces of Tokyo from the water, including a brilliant display of the seasonal colors amidst the cityscape. The riverside is a sea of pink in cherry blossom season, and in the summer months the feeling of the summer breeze in your hair under a star-studded sky is breathtaking. In the autumn, you can relax in the cabin soaking up some exquisite art & craft, while sipping a glass of Japanese sake. In the winter months, watch the colonies of migratory birds from Russian from the warmth of the kotatsu heated table. The Riverboat Mizuha can be enjoyed year-round to explore the Eastside river city.

this blog has been waiting to be posted for just over a week, i've been really busy baking and working and just havent found the time to sit and type it up!
so here we have it, a lovely lemon cake! i've made many lemon cakes in the past but this one has to be my all time favourite. its incredibly lemony!
you will need :
for the sponge
110g unsalted butter
380g caster sugar
320g plain flour
4 tsp baking powder
320ml buttermilk
the zest of 2 lemons
3 eggs
for the frosting
900g icing sugar
zest of 1 and a half lemons
150g unsalted butter
375g full fat cream cheese
and finally for decoration
a handfull of raspberries
the zest of one lemon
a small amount of icing sugar for dusting
start by beating the butter and the sugar today until there are no large lumps.
sift the flour and baking powder into the butter mixture and give it a good mix.
measure out the buttermilk and add the eggs, give it a whisk until combined.
add the zest and give it another quick stir.
with the mixer on a low speed gradually add the liquid, scraping down the sides and turning up the speed until fully combined.
separate into 2 to 3 tins depending on the sizes you have. i went for 2 9inch spring form tins.
throw them in the oven (not literally) at 170ºc or gas mark 3 and bake for 20-30 minutes (this may vary on your oven).
whilst the cakes are cooling you can make the icing. beat the butter and icing sugar on a slow speed until no large lumps remain. next add the lemon zest and the cream cheese and beat on a medium high speed until the frosting is light and fluffy, this can take between 5-10 minutes.
then place the first cake onto a board or your favourite cake stand and cover with your favourite raspberry jam, go right to the edges so that every bite has some in.
next put some frosting on top of the jam and smooth it over with a palette knife.
place the second layer on top of this and press it down gently.
spoon some more mixture on the top and spread it out evenly, dont worry to much about the crumbs at this point.
continue to cover the entire cake with a layer of frosting, this will act as a crumb layer so the final cake is crumb free. once thats done pop it in the fridge for 15-20 minutes to allow the frosting to set slightly.
once cooled place a second layer of frosting on the cake and decorate with the palette knife. i made the mistake of placing it directly onto the cake stand so this made decoration a little tricky but you get the idea!
finally top the cake with a handfull of raspberries and a dusting of icing sugar. if you wish you can grate some lemon zest over the raspberries but that is up to you. i decided to change it up a little and used lime zest instead to give it that extra tang, i didn't regre it!
i took this cake to work with me on tuesday last week and it went VERY quickly! next time i think i will have to make 2, one for the family and one for work.

Never bet on someone who has no apparent clue what he's doing.
President-elect Donald Trump is running the most incoherent presidential transition in memory, and that ought to give the stock market pause. Investors are placing chips on someone whose policy statements, real and prospective appointments, and overall signs of management skill resemble a game of 52-card pickup.
Consider: John Bolton as the possible secretary of state — a man who not only still favors the Iraq war Trump claims he opposed, but also wanted wars with Iran and North Korea at the same time? Or will Rudy Giuliani be America's chief diplomat, bringing the same healing touch to international affairs that he did for New York City race relations? And what to make of senior counselor Steve Bannon, the Breitbart News honcho whose wooing of white nationalists won applause for his appointment from the American Nazi Party?
Then there's Treasury Secretary-apparent Steve Mnuchin, that consummate outsider from Goldman Sachs — last seen extracting his bank's $50 million from Relativity Media, where he was on the board, right before the movie studio went bankrupt and stiffed other creditors. Can Deputy Treasury Secretary Bernie Madoff, who used to woo investors at Trump's Mar-a-Lago club, be far behind?
This is your team, Mr. President-elect? This is your play, Mr. Market?
Politics aside, let's look at what the markets are betting on and reflect on whether they really point to growth, or a "pro-business attitude," as Wells Fargo chief economist John Silvia contends.
First, the S&P 500's SPX, -2.59% 1.7% post-election gain so far is just about entirely accounted for by the 10% jumps in the S&P's two financial sub-indices. Meanwhile, Industrials are up 8%, led by defense stocks (Lockheed Martin LMT, -2.33% is up 10%, as is Northrop Grumman). The health-care sector is up 2.7% — hospital stocks are down, but shares of medical device and drug companies rose on speculation that lobbyists will win repeal of a 2.3% tax on devices that helps pay for Obamacare, and Trump will quash any action on drug prices.
Meanwhile, consumer staples, utilities, real estate, and technology shares are all lower. Materials and energy have risen slightly.
Think about why certain stocks are up and others are down since Trump's election.
Now, think about why certain stocks are up and others are down since Trump's election.
Bank stocks have gained on speculation that a Trump administration will gut the Consumer Financial Protection Board (CFPB) and could reduce capital requirements or bring back proprietary trading. Yeah, because the combination of consumer exploitation and thin capitalization served the industry, the economy, and taxpayers so well the last time it was tried.
Wells Fargo's Silvia also made the point that banks are spending too much on compliance due to the 2010 Dodd-Frank law. I beg to differ. And the CFPB got to the bottom of five years of corruption at Wells Fargo WFC, -2.63% (Silvia's employer), discovering that the nation's fourth-largest bank had systematically stolen from customers for years — and stopped it.
On the downside, technology stocks' 1.6% post-election dip is highlighted by a 4% decline in Apple AAPL, -4.62% , which stands to have problems with Trump's trade policies. The nation's largest hospital chain, HCA Holdings HCA, -2.01% , fell 10%, rival Tenet Healthcare THC, -2.08% lost almost 20%. That's what happens when the law that in fact has been driving profit growth — in this case the Affordable Care Act, a.k.a. ObamaCare — is threatened. The past week's gains in health-care stocks are concentrated in drug and medical-device stocks, because Trump's rise has been taken as the likely end of any plan to have Medicare negotiate drug prices and the excise tax on devices in the ACA is seen as a goner.
Is there a common thread here? You betcha. If you invest in a company that makes something which makes America more productive, or is closely related to everyday life, your shares are probably down in the last week. Technology, for example, makes the U.S. more productive, as does commercial real estate development. Consumer staples, hospitals and housing also touch our daily lives.
In contrast, if you are investing with the hope that lobbyists can deliver profits which management couldn't achieve, your shares are up since the election. That's certainly the case for the banks. It's true for defense stocks, medical-device makers, drug companies (especially the huge jump recently in Valeant Pharmaceuticals International US:VRX shares). The same goes for shares of energy companies — which should have dropped on lower crude prices before the latest hints that Saudi Arabia will cut production, but instead were modestly up on speculation that Trump will appoint oilman Harold Hamm to run the Interior Department and expand oil-and-gas drilling on public lands — not to mention turning the transition's environmental-policy portfolio over to a climate-change denier.
Yet choosing investments in the hope that Washington lobbyists will gain even more power is like constructing a building without a foundation, let alone an interesting interpretation of an election that was supposed to be about draining Washington's swamp. Really, the best thing to say about this election rally is that at least it hasn't been as big as its hype. Small investors should consider stepping outside this structure before it gets too overbuilt.

A Kickstarter-style campaign may be the key to advancing Nepal's scientific community.
After waiting more than three years for government assistance, Internet Hall of Fame inductee Mahabir Pun turned to the public to help make his dream of a National Innovation Center a reality.
Since the campaign's launch almost six months ago, Nepalis worldwide have donated 50 million rupees towards the project's goal of 500 million rupees for construction and start-up costs.
Eservice has agreed to transfer the money without commission and Deerwalk Foundation will match contributions made through gofundme.com.
The center, which is slated to take five years to complete, aims to help Nepali researchers in product development to advance the country's economic development. According to the World Bank, developed countries spend up to 4 percent of their gross domestic product on scientific innovation and technological advancement, while developing countries, such as Nepal, expend around 2 percent.
In chronicling billions of websites and digital files, Brewster Kahle may now have earned himself the title of official historian of the Internet.
As founder and director of the Internet Archive, a not-for-profit, free digital library that archives Internet documents and makes them universally accessible, Kahle has assembled a digital collection of more than 4,000,000 e-books, millions of concerts and films, and 279 billion archived web pages. Everything is free to the public.
But Kahle has done more than archive – he's helped establish a definitive history of the creation of the Internet, and in the process, has become a leading advocate in the effort to keep it free and accessible.
Kahle has been involved in Internet technology since the late 80s. In 1989, he invented the Internet's first publishing and distributed search system, WAIS (Wide Area Information Server). In 1996, he started his analytics firm, Alexa Internet, which he sold to Amazon in 1999. That same year, he founded the Internet Archive, and in 2012, he was inducted into the inaugural Internet Hall of Fame for his contributions.
As the Internet Hall of Fame opens nominations for the 2017 awards, we caught up with Kahle to talk not only about his continued mission with...
For one South American country, Internet access would be just a dream without the contributions of one woman.
One of the first women to study computer science at Uruguay's University of the Republic, Ida Holz graduated almost 20 years before the country had widespread Internet access.
Despite being introduced to computers via Fortran punch cards, Holz went on to become one of Uruguay's most vocal advocates for email development and Internet access expansion in her home country in the 1980s and early 1990s. In a Spanish language interview with El Observador recently, she noted:
"When we began with the Internet here, we looked at each other sideways," she said. "I remember the lawyers told us that the Internet couldn't happen here because there were no owners, no regulations. They kept assuring us it would be anarchy. But it happened, in a way that nobody expected.
"We don't know what's going to happen within 10 years, but the world advances and the speed with which it has changed in these last 20 years is impressive."
The Internet Hall of Fame has translated into English the full interview from El Observador below.
Ida Holz: The Uruguayan of the Internet
There once...
Despite the average web page only lasting 100 days before being deleted or edited, international efforts are underway to preserve the Internet in all its ethereal glory.
Inductee and pioneer in artificial intelligence and supercomputing, Brewster Kahle began bulk-capturing the web in 1996 and storing it on the Wayback Machine, which now carries more than 273 billion often-defunct web pages.
The Wayback Machine is part of Kahle's Internet Archive, a nonprofit Internet library dedicated to ensuring that historic web pages are preserved as cultural artifacts, and accessible to everyone.
Based in San Francisco, the 20-year-old archive adds more than 250 million pages per week, including an extensive trove of Balinese-language material, old GeoCities pages and, in the near future, Vine videos.
In an interview with the Irish Times, Kahle said he firmly believes in making all human knowledge...
Although the years of the "flower power" culture that Teus Hagen says helped shape his ideals are long gone, the accomplished mathematician and Internet pioneer is still a bit of a rebel.
Retired for nearly a decade, Hagen says one of his "hobbies" is environmental activism.
Now a resident of southern Holland, near the Phillips GrowWise Center that was established to develop models for urban farming, Hagen says he is committed to gathering data for environmental protection.
"I do a lot of things in this area," he said. "To try to wake up the politicians about the unhealthy state in which we live."
Hagen says he collects data from all over Holland, and posts it on a website to show the true state of environmental pollution as measured under the international Air Quality Index followed by the United States and China.
"The website provides charts and graphics for environment pollutants in the agricultural environments in the whole of the southeastern part of the Netherlands and neighboring Germany border," Hagen says.
"The data originates from governmental measurement stations. Charts and graphics are calculated into the international Air Quality Index. The graphs enable the user to compare the situations over the years and warns about recent air quality...

Turning out delicious stews, bisques, and brothy deliciousness in less time than it would take to watch "The Soup Nazi" episode, the Philips Soupmaker is essentially an immersion blender surrounded by an electric tea kettle. In just 20 minutes, it simultaneously pulverizes and warms its contents into a piping hot four-serving meal.
Roughly chop and toss in whatever your concoction calls for, select one of the five viscosity settings, and fire it up. It'll even keep what's inside warm for up to 40 minutes after it's wrapped, should you need to step away for longer than the quick cook time to watch more Seinfeld.
And if you'd rather something cold, no sweat, as it's also equipped with a normal blender setting for whipping up smoothies, milkshakes, and other heat-phobic blends.

Lanyrd The Conference Directory
Too Many Events Going On. And if you're not online at the right time you miss the mention of them on twitter. Fantastic Solution is Lanyrd. It looks at your friends, which events they are going to, and let's you know.
Lanyrd, The Social Conference Directory
It tracks all conferences, including health. Once you link your twitter account, it gets very clever and not only gives you a calender of events, it tells you who is speaking (with a link to each of their profiles). Usefully I can register to track events in advance. So now I don't need to worry I'll miss it. I'm already looking to track BarCamp Sydney and SXSW, and it's told me that a friend is speaking at an upcoming conference I didn't even know about. Blimey.
Here is a list of speakers for SXSW:
Awesome. Simple. Highly recommended. To link up go here: http://lanyrd.com
Thanks @amcunningham for the heads up on this one. Check out Anne Marie's blog to see how to include new health and medical conferences
@laikas has also blogged about Lanyrd in a simple step by step how to way.
Worth checking out both of these posts – especially if your focus is health.

Reunion in Washington DC
I have dreamed of reuniting with some of our children and their forever families, and on my recent trip to the US, we were able to make it happen in not one, but two cities! The two reunions were in DC and Los Angeles, and it was everything I could have asked for and more.
Our DC reunion was on the afternoon of 23 June. Marlon and I met with three of our Xining children along with their families. The first and youngest guest, baby Catherine, is 22 months old and was adopted late last year. Her father, William, and two brothers Tev and DJ, along with William's nephew and niece coordinated the site and the dinner!
Leah, who is already over 10 years old, was adopted by Aron and Jenn in 2010. We had the privilege, as a family, of seeing Leah off in Xining when Marlon and Danial accompanied me to Qinghai that year! Leah's parents came along with her two siblings Kyra and Ryann.
Then we had Sue-Mae, knick-named Ms. Smiley Kylie, our six-year-old joyful girl, along with her parents, Stacy and Jack, as well as her three siblings, who were all adopted from China.
We spent the afternoon eating delicious food, catching up on life, and sharing what God has been doing in China through CA since 1997. It was encouraging to be in a room full of people who understand the importance of the work we do in the Children's Homes, and especially to be among people who have played such an instrumental role in showing God's love to these precious girls.
I wanted each of the girls to remember this moment, even though some were young, so I gave each one a necklace which included a jade chicken. I chose this because the shape of the chicken is similar to the shape of China on a map. I wanted each child to have a special reminder of their culture and roots as they grow up and pursue their dreams.
I know without a doubt, that each of the people at our reunion was deeply impacted by the special love of adoption. I pray that each family will be willing to share this message of faith and hope with others, and that one day every orphaned or abandoned child will have a forever family.
I look forward to sharing news about the LA reunion. Until then, pray for God's blessing for each of these lovely families.
