D
Breakfast at the hotel is followed by a three-hour sightseeing tour of Helsinki, the capital of Finland, also known as "The Daughter of the Baltic Sea". The tour includes the Senate Square, the University and the Lutheran Cathedral. We will also see the colourful Market Square, Kaivopuisto Park, diplomatic residences, the imposing statue of Marshall Mannerheim, the Parliament Building, Finlandia Hall, the Orthodox Russian Church, Uspenski, and the Sibelius Monument. A visit is also made to Temppeliaukio Church – also called the "Rock Church" as it is carved into solid rock. The tour concludes back at the hotel. In the afternoon there will be a group transfer to airport and an afternoon domestic flight for the next step on the adventure in Rovaniemi. Upon arrival at Rovaniemi airport, a transfer service to the hotel for check-in. The rest of the afternoon is at leisure or there are optional evening Northern Lights excursions available. B
The day begins with breakfast at the hotel and a morning visit to the world-famous Santa Claus Village, built right on the Arctic Circle and home to Santa Claus. Stop by his busy post office where you can ask Santa to send a letter to your loved ones. Take a step into the magical world of Santa's home and meet Santa himself. No words can describe the emotions of this fairy-tale-like moment. It is something you will always remember. A must for any visit to Lapland. The day continues with a visit to the Sami reindeer farm where you will meet the traditional Sami farmers who will tell you about the reindeer, the Sami and teach you how to throw Suopunki (Sami lasso). Sitting in a two-person sleigh, pulled by your reindeer, you will experience this traditional and peaceful way of moving through the white landscape, where the only sound you will hear is the melody of reindeer bells. (Sleigh ride is weather dependant) A typical three course lunch is served at the farm. Evening at your leisure. Optional evening excursions are available. BL
In the morning after breakfast, the adventure continues with a transfer towards Saariselka, following the winding roads through Northern Lapland and located 250 km from Rovaniemi. We arrive at the Northern Lights Village where you will check-in to your private Aurora Cabin/Glass Igloo. Enjoy the warmth of your cabin and weather permitting you will have the opportunity to marvel at the amazing Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) and the millions of stars from the comforts of your bed. In the evening, you are invited for a three course or buffet dinner with local specialties. BD
Breakfast at the hotel followed by an early departure. You will be traveling the 270 km further north to Kirkenes (in Norway) by coach, an approximately 4-hour journey transporting you through the beautiful northern Lapland. Along the way, you will visit the SIIDA Museum (closed on Monday, Sami Cultural Center Sajos* will be included instead). Your eyes will feast on some breath-taking natural scenery as you make your way up north. Arrival at Kirkenes Snow Hotel and checkin to your private Gamme Cabin. In the evening, enjoy the local dinner at the hotel. The evening is at your leisure. BD
Today after breakfast at the hotel, we enjoy a morning husky safari. Weather permitting, you will experience an exhilarating husky sleigh ride. Let your personal pack of huskies and musher drive you around in the scenic Sandnesdalen and indulge in a post sleigh picnic or hot drink en-route. Afternoon is at leisure or there are optionalexcursions to choose from. BD Please note: Sleigh ride is weather dependant
Breakfast at hotel and check-out. In the midmorning a transfer from the hotel takes you to the Hurtigruten Terminal. As the ship starts its voyage south, you can first enjoy lunch followed by views of the surrounding Arctic landscape on deck or from the panorama lounge. As we depart Kirkenes, prepare for the new sights and experiences that our voyage along the Norwegian coastline has to offer. In the afternoon, the ship again docks at Vardø, Norway's easternmost port. Weather permitting, we may invite you to experience ice bathing in the Arctic Ocean. Heading south, we cruise along the Varanger peninsula to Båtsfjord, before reaching Berlevåg in the evening. The latter town is home to one of Norway's most famous male choirs, consisting mainly of local fishermen. BLD
In the middle of the night, we dock at Mehamn, where it is "possible" (weather permitting) to join an unforgettable snowmobile trip through one of Europe's most extreme and exciting natural areas during winter time. Later we stop at Honningsvåg, then continue onwards to Hammerfest. Hammerfest was founded in 1789, and over time became Norway's polar capital, serving as a base for hunting expeditions into the High Arctic. Here you can see the UNESCO-listed Meridian Column, erected in 1854 to commemorate the first precise geographic measurement of the globe. In winter, you can also join a mini-mountain expedition to experience the Arctic outdoors and learn about local polar hero and cook, Adolf Henrik Lindstrøm. Continuing south to Øksfjord. After crossing open water, we make a brief stop at the old trading post of Skjervøy. We then dock at Tromsø, just in time to enjoy a magical midnight concert at the Arctic Cathedral or enjoy a local brew at one of the cities many friendly pubs. BLD
Today sit back and marvel at the scenery as the Hurtigruten ship negotiates an intricate network of isles and inlets as you pass through the legendary Lofoten Islands. The Lofoten region is renowned for its natural beauty with steep mountains, wild nature and small, picturesque fishing villages. The daylight sailing route through the Lofoten Islands is a highlight for the group. Stop at Stokmarknes and pay a visit to the Hurtigruten museum here. Continuing southwards, it looks like we are sailing straight into the mountain wall, but we inevitably slip through an opening leading to the narrow Raftsund. This 20-km passage between Lofoten and Vesterålen takes you through mountains soaring 1,000 metres directly out of the sea. Pass through the spectacular Trollfjord, only 2 km long and 100 metres wide, surrounded by majestic mountains, finally reaching Svolvaer. From Svolvær, we continue to Stamsund, where we see the majestic peaks of the huge Lofoten wall. We leave Lofoten during the evening and set course for the mainland. This remarkable day ends with an evening stop at Svolvaer before you bid farewell to the islands at Stamsund. BLD
Crossing the Arctic Circle at 66°33'N is an important 'rite of passage'. Today we celebrate the event out on deck with a `taste´ of Arctic tradition – a spoonful of cod liver oil. As we sail along the Helgeland coast, you pass hundreds of islets, fertile farmland and steep granite walls rich in local lore. On deck you can see the strange mountain Torghatten, famous for its distinctive hole right through the middle. We continue past the Seven Sister Mountain Range, along the Helgeland coastline. Next, we make a short stop at Nesna, an idyllic old trading post before moving on to Sandnessjøen. The UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Vega Islands is close to Sandnessjøen. This unique cultural landscape consists of dozens of islands. The UNESCO designation was awarded due to the unique interaction between the eider duck and island population. BLD
Today provides an opportunity to explore the city of Trondheim. Once you are back on board, the ship heads out into the majestic Trondheimsfjord, which is 170 km long and up to 25 km wide. Like all other Norwegian fjords, it is deep, plunging to 577 m. We sail along to the coast to Kristiansund, the dried Cod Capital, and beginning of the Atlantic Road, one of Norway's most visited tourist destinations. It is 8.2 km long, built on a total of eight bridges and surrounded by picturesque landscapes and open sea. BLD
During the night, the ship calls at Ålesund, Torvik, Måløy, as the world's most beautiful voyage draws to a close. Before we dock in Bergen, there are some nautical miles of fascinating scenery ahead of us, including the picturesque Nordfjord below the enormous Jostedal Glacier. Here the fjord widens to the east and forges 90 km inland to Loen and Olden. In the morning, we call at Florø, a modern coastal seaport that is also the Sogn og Fjordane region´s oldest town and Norway's westernmost community. Despite constant changes, the city of Florø has maintained its special features. A few nautical miles south of Florø, we navigate the mouth of the mighty Sognefjord, and enjoy superb views of this magnificent island-studded coastline en route. You disembark in Bergen, at 2pm and are transferred to your Bergen hotel where you will have the rest of the day at leisure. BL
After breakfast enjoy a 3-hour sightseeing tour during which we will delight in St. Marys Church, the colourful and picturesque fish market and the old Bryggen area. Enjoy fantastic views over Bergen and the Norwegian coast line from the peak of Mount Fløyen with the journey up an experience itself. In the evening walk from the hotel to the pier where you will take the boat to reach the well-known restaurant Cornelius. Here you will be delighted with local specialties. Inspired by the weather of the day, Cornelius serves its famous Meteorological Menu of exquisite seafood and trimmings, prepared using innovative culinary techniques and with a genuine passion for seafood.

These are initial concept design for a personal projection mapping project dealing with the theme of headaches. I live with one for 360days out of the year.
In order to help me from procrastinating, I usually do a digital collage over a quick pencil sketch of a shape that I want to work with. I then do some quick sketching and b/w painting over it to get the patterns and images I find on internet to show the way I like. I find that digital collage is a quick way to give an idea a initial visual form and it often leads to interesting pattern designs.
Wondering how this is a projection mapping project? Well, you'll going to have to wait and see!

Keydata says it covered an income shortfall to investors after payments were delayed from SLS Capital to prevent them from "losing out" during the gap.
Administrator PricewaterhouseCoopers says in recent days it became aware that income from £103m invested in Keydata plans with Luxembourg investment vehicle SLS Capital had not been paid since October 2008. The income shortfall to investors had been filled by Keydata's own corporate funds.
A Keydata spokesman says: "Keydata had an obligation to pay the income within five days of the due date for investors. MeesPierson were given 20 days to pay and so there could be a lag.
"This is a moot point in that October 2008 income and the next payment was paid, but very late. The March payment from SLS was likewise very late, but events have spun out since then to make it sort of obsolete.
"Keydata covered the payments to prevent investors losing out during the gap."
Keydata says it was getting quarterly payments from SLS Capital, albeit late and was not aware that money had disappeared from the products.
The firm says that upon questioning SLS Capital on the delays it was "thrown back legal answers saying we can do this" because it was contractual.

Internet users are more cautious about their security these days, and Google is more strict about it. As a part of it,Google announced HTTPS as a Ranking Factor Click To Tweet
So, that means, you need an SSL Certificate for your site if you want to rank better.
Yes, nobody wants to miss a chance to rank higher in Search Engine like Google with 85.92% share in Total Search Engine Market. If you miss it, you will be missing a hell lot of organic traffic.
Are you ready to Install SSL on your Site?
SSL or HTTPS was costly before, but now, it is available for free.
Still, there are paid SSL Certificates. They provide almost the same features of Free SSL, and you can buy it if you own an online business where you need more protection and trustworthiness. But for blogs and small websites, you can use the Free SSL Certificates provided by CloudFlare or Let's Encrypt.
[h]Why CloudFlare Flexible SSL?[/h]
There's nothing like that. You can use any Free SSL for your site. However, if you want to make the process simple and fast, then I recommend using CloudFlare Flexible SSL for your WordPress site.
Previously, installing SSL was very rare and expensive too. Moreover, installing it was too difficult.
The CloudFlare Flexible SSL is free, and you can use it on unlimited sites. Moreover, if you are not using any CDN Service, you can use their Free or paid CDN also.

Diabetes Diet: Making Your Kitchen Convenient for Home Cooking
Cooking more of our meals "from scratch" with fresh, whole foods can help us manage glucose levels, and reach or maintain our target weight.
To make meal preparation more appealing our kitchen should be stocked and arranged for cooking convenience. There is no one way to do this, but organizational gurus offer guidelines that can be tweaked to suit our personal preferences.
Creating A Cooking Convenient Kitchen: The Basics
First, Clean It Out
Decide what will be tossed, and then do it. For instance, you might get rid of foods that:
- Are old.
- Contain high fructose corn syrup.
- List sugar as one of the first two ingredients, or have a lot of added sugars.
- Contain trans fats, or hydrogenated oils.
- Contain dyes, msg, or other additives.
- Have a long, unpronounceable ingredient list.
If your kitchen has been in a state of entropy for some time, and the prospect of cleaning it out is overwhelming, start by tossing just three to five items from the fridge, freezer, pantry, and each food cupboard. Then, tomorrow, or next week, repeat the process until unwanted items are gone.
Second, Organize What Remains
The organization of a kitchen does not have to be picture perfect, it just has to suit our own style and needs:
- If you're trying out a new organizational system, use shoeboxes or whatever boxes are on hand to test drive the arrangement for a few weeks, and make adjustments. Then, when shopping for storage solutions you'll know exactly what to buy. You can also re-purpose old trays, pans, and bowls for storage containers, or just keep using the shoeboxes.
- Many families find it convenient to store foods according to use. For instance, those who bake frequently might keep all their baking supplies in one cupboard, or on one pantry shelf. People who love to stir fry, or make pasta dishes could create a zone for those ingredients.
- Though many people keep all their spices in one place, another option is to store spices according to use. For example, baking spices can be stored in one area, and main-dish herbs in another.
Larger families may find it helpful to label shelves, cupboards, and storage containers, or to use different colored bins and containers for designated items.
Third, Stock Essentials
Always having basic ingredients on hand makes home-cooking easier. Onions, garlic, a good quality cooking oil (e.g., olive, coconut), salt, black pepper, and other key spices (e.g., oregano, basil, thyme) are usually considered kitchen essentials. Many people also like to keep a regular stock of canned goods (e.g., diced tomatoes, tomato paste and sauce, different types of beans), dry goods (e.g., pastas, dried legumes), and frozen veggies.
Once the kitchen is organized, it takes only a couple minutes to scan the cupboards, fridge, and pantry for items that need replacing.
Fourth, Maintain
Creating a kitchen system that suits our personal style is simple to maintain. All that's required is putting items back in their assigned places, using or tossing aging foods every week or two, and regularly restocking essential items. These simple steps can make any kitchen a pleasure to cook in.

My Tutelary Uncle
Dreamed 1993/5/28 by Chris Wayan
I live on the Northwest Coast in a small town with mostly Native people. I'm mixed but can pass for white. My uncle, a shaman, taught me some medicine, but he died in middle age before my training was done.
So, he started haunting me. He wasn't finished teaching, so he showed up as a teacher in my dreams, and wouldn't take no for an answer. Traditionally, having a spirit teacher like this, what anthros call a "tutelary spirit", is the whole point of shamanism--it's usually a quest, an ordeal, taking years of hard work.
But now, I don't need to go seek a spirit guide. In fact, I can't shut him up. His advice is perfectly good, but he won't let me learn on my own--my uncle jumps in at the start, before I've even had a chance to stray from his traditional path.
So slowly, quietly, I'm trying to gain the strength to kick out my helpful uncle. To lose my tutelary spirit.
I start doing our traditional dance-exercises. They're kind of like the Chinese ones you see in the parks down in Vancouver--tai ji, I think they call it. Balance is the purpose. A shaman must have good balance, my uncle said. It must be true--now, when I'm dancing right, he fades out and all there is is the dance.
I practice daily. When I get it right my uncle shuts up... One morning in mid-dance, I turn around to find others imitating me! I've become an unintentional teacher of the old balance.
I acquire a reputation as a good balance dancer, and I guess I really do some good, especially among local whites who are all out of balance--I can speak their language and explain it.
But inside, I still feel I'm a failure. I've never dislodged my annoying uncle. Soon as I quit dancing, there he is again, helping me.
During a radio interview I blurt out "I came to shamanism too late. To have that balance and sense of yourself as an animal in the world--whether the physical or spirit world--to make that instinctive, you either gotta hang on to it right through childhood or relearn it not long after. It's like ballet or the Olympics, you gotta start young. Me, I was trained too many years to be far from my body and feelings. So I became a white-type intellectual. What I teach is TRUE, but it's from my head and my spirit--I can't live it without effort. It's not in my body yet, not naturally, the way an animal's is, and I dunno if it ever will be."
Now I know that this wound--and my annoying spirit-uncle--together form my shamanic illness, they're why I'm so motivated to do the balance dance. I need these troubles to keep me on my toes! Well, heels, we use our heals a lot. Oops, I typed heals. Ha.
Anyway, my uncle-troubles keep me sympathetic to other people who are stuck in their heads or their souls. So my illness is good for others, in a way.
But it's still bad for me!
It's so easy to label these things and judge them: "Possession--bad!" or "Spirit guide--good!" "Sellout teaching whites--bad!" "Dancing the balance--good!" "Can't cure herself--bad!" "Understands being stuck--good!" When all these pulls-and-pushes are as tangled as a climax forest! And they always will be--you can't be sure what'll help and what'll hurt. Not quite.
Not ever.
I'm not certain our tribe was Kwakiutl/Kwakwakawakw, but other dreams around that time keep referring to that tribe. It was a small fishing town in a fjord on the mainland, not the islands. It seemed drier and warmer than much of the BC coast, so it may have been in the rainshadow of the Queen Charlotte Islands.
Reincarnation, in the Northwest Coast tribes, is believed to commonly run from uncle/aunt to niece/nephew, or grandparent to grandchild; so my uncle's ghost might mean an old self from a past life is haunting me, rather than a literal uncle.
On the other hand, I really do have a bunch of living uncles (and graves of grandparents) scattered around Puget Sound. They're not good role-models for me--shy, passive, sexually repressed. But I do have roots there.
ACTION: less soul-searching, more dance. I know the balance, I just have to live it in my body.
A few years after this I learned that my one of my uncles from Puget Sound, Uncle Hugh, lived with us while he was getting shock treatments, and told me in detail what it was like to be strapped down and tortured. I was only two, but it was impossible to forget, though I buried the knowledge. It became a ghost that haunted me--the floating fear that if I let my shamanism show, the white people will come lock me away and fry me.
Like they fried him. After, he was a broken man.

Just call me the master of troubleshooting. My car has been running crappy for a long time now. Last night I finally fixed it. The main problem? Spark plugs! I ended up replacing so many things, none of which cured it's major hesitation when you press the gas pedal. I started thinking about it, and here's a list of the things I replaced, in order of replacement: Air filter, both oxygen sensors (yes, it has two of them), crankshaft position sensor, throttle position sensor, fuel filter, spark plugs, and spark plug wires. Ka-CHING! The thing is, everything I replaced, with the exception of the throttle position sensor and air filter, improved it a little. I'd say the sensor didn't need to be replaced at all, but pretty much everything else did. What goaded me into action to begin with (the proverbial Straw that Broke the Camel's Back) was the fact that the car started randomly dying and misfiring. That was the crankshaft position sensor. When I changed the plugs last night, I was amazed at how burned they were. The center electrode was so far gone that the gap had become wide enough that it's a wonder the spark jumped it at all. During the changing of the plugs, two of the plug wires broke, so I had to add a set of those to the end of the list. I've got an app on my iPod that I use to monitor everything about all the cars, including making it super easy to watch the gas consumption. The last 3 times I've filled up have netted me 34 or 35 mpg, and that was running crappily (I love inventing words that should have existed all along)! Now that it's running as it should, there are two mpg outcomes: Either the mileage will go up because the car needs less gas pedal and runs so much better, or I will be pressing the gas pedal and enjoying the power so much that the mileage will go down. I'm predicting the latter scenario to begin with... Followed by the former.
My mom called the other night with news that she has a spot of cancer that was found during her gynecological exam. She was hesitant to explain it fully, but from what I gathered it must be just inside her vaginal opening. She's lucky she has an observant doc. If memory serves me, she's going in specifically to have the spot checked or whatever they do today. I'll get more information on that. The last thing anybody needs in my family is my ill-health, crotchety, Jekyll & Hyde ol' man outliving my mother. That would be tough to take.
Blogs, blogs, blogs. If this one isn't enough, I went and added the 365 blog a while back. Then I added the Leftovers blog a couple weeks ago to have a place to showcase pictures that I liked but didn't really have a place for. Now I'm working on yet another blog! This one will be to chronicle the ever-changing city of Auburn. I got the idea while reading posts from fellow classmates on Facebook, many of which no longer live here. A lot of things have changed about Auburn since we graduated in 1974, and a lot of things haven't, and my love for taking mediocre pictures is perfect for such a blog. In my opinion, the city is being ruined by the current elected officials and their underlings, and it feels almost as if I need to get it all down while the city even exists. I know it's not that bad, but at times it seems like it.
Now Rachyl and Tony are our new neighbors! Tony outdid himself on his work ethic when it came down to working that house over before they moved in. They did a huge amount of work, totally transforming the place. It was almost as if they moved into a new house, freshly built! This event touches many of us. They have been living with Denny and Heather so long that little Hunter has literally had Rachyl as an in-house "parent" most the majority of his life. Denny and Heather have never really had the house to themselves since they moved in until now. Now they can both be regular "walk-around-the-house-in-your-underwear-if-you-want-to" folks. Now they can rethink and revamp their whole house to suit their current needs and wants. All the stuff that Rachyl and Tony own has been stored at Denny's house, Kevin's house, and our house (in the garage). Now we all have our space back. Since I've lived here the side of the garage that houses my stuff (Harley included) has been partly a storage unit. Space was tight. Now I can start transforming it into my space.
I'm looking forward to flying to Kauai with Suz next week! I really need a vacation, and what better place to visit when we've had such an "iffy" summer than Hawaii right?

Students can expect a slight tuition increase for the fall of 2017. Missouri Western's Board of Governors approved a 0.79 percent mid-year tuition increase to take effect this fall.The tuition increase will not be applied to students in the spring semester, but Administrators are still discussing if the fee will be applied to students enrolling in summer courses.
Prior to the start of Fiscal Year 2017, public higher education institutions agreed to keep the in-state, undergraduate tuition rates steady in exchange for a four percent increase in state appropriations under former Missouri Governor Jay Nixon.
However, due to Governor Eric Greitens's recent withholdment of state allocations to higher education institutions, Western, along with several other institutions, is no longer bound to the agreement and may opt to increase tuition.
Due to the fact Western did not increase tuition rates in the 2016 fiscal year, a mid-year tuition increase of 0.79 percent increase will be applied. This increase will bring add an additional $1.58 charge per credit hour for students. The increase will bring in approximately $8,890 in additional tuition dollars for the university.
Vice President of Financial Planning Cale Fessler explained that the tuition increase would be based on the average tuition rate of all four year colleges in the state.
"Our calculation (for the increase) is based on average tuition of all four year state colleges and universities, and we are based on the average tuition because ours (in-state tuition) is below (the state average)," Fessler said.
In addition to increasing tuition, the university has implemented some changes to help compensate for the mid-year withholdment of $1.6 million in state allocations.
All departments had a three percent reduction in operating and travel budgets; all non-essential capital projects have been postponed; the equity theatre program Western Playhouse has been cancelled for the 2017 season and the university plans to save money through personnel attrition in the upcoming school year.
Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Jeanne Daffron emphasized that the quality of education students receive will not be affected by university attrition, but departmental staffing will be adjusted to compensate for the mid-year withholdments.
"Programs change over time, and you have trends sometimes where there are fewer and fewer students and programs where there are more students. So we want to be sure that we match the need. So in programs where the demands have become significantly less, we may hold that (faculty position) out for a year, or move it to a place where there is more need," Daffron said.
The final tuition rate for Western's 2017-18 school year will be set in late April after the final state budget has been set for the next fiscal year. Any additional tuition increases will be dependant on the final approved state budget for FY 2018.
Governor Greitens has recommended an additional $159 million withholdment of state allocations to public colleges and universities in Fiscal Year 2018. Of the $159 million, Western would see approximately $2.09 million (nine percent) withholdment. However, the final state budget has yet to be approved by the general assembly.
Despite budget cuts, all projects under the Missouri House Bill 19 grant for renovation and maintenance will remain funded by the state. Western plans to finish off the remainder grant in the 2017-18 school year beginning with renovations to Popplewell Hall.

The Taï Chimpanzee Project (Taï National Park, Cote D'Ivoire) has yielded unprecedented insights into the nature of cooperation, cognition, and culture in our closest living relatives. Founded in 1979 by Christophe and Hedwige Boesch, the project has entered its 40th year of continuous research. Alongside other famous long-term chimpanzee study sites at Gombe and Mahale in East Africa, the tireless work of the team at Taï has contributed to the fields of behavioural ecology and anthropology, as well as improving public awareness of the urgent need to protect this already endangered species. Encompassing important research topics including chimpanzee ecology, reproductive behaviour, tool use, culture, communication, cognition and conservation, this book provides an engaging account of how Taï chimpanzees are adapted to African jungle life and how they have developed unique forms of cooperation with less violence, regular adoptions and complex cultural differences between groups.Read more

The Indigenes of Boki East and West in Cross River State have praised the State Governor, Sen. Ben Ayade for keeping to his campaign promises, with the construction of Boki East-West road and Boje Bridge.
Engr. Greg Undie, an assistant Director in the State Ministry of works, disclosed while conducting newsmen on an on-the-spot assessment of the project that the 27km road is near completion.
He thanked Sen. Ben Ayade for constructing the road to make the area accessible and alleviate the suffering of the people, noting that before now the people of Boki had to traverse through Ogoja, Obudu and Ikom before accessing boki 1 and 2.
Engr. Undie noted that for 45 years both constituencies were totally disconnected from the point of mercantile and social interactions and indeed all prospects that give people dignity, while thanking God for Ayade who restored the cored that once held them together.
With the expected value to be added to their farm produce through appropriate pricing, the Community Chairman Asu Dominic Ochang had this to say:
"The Governor must be commended for his courageous efforts at changing the social economic narrative of the people of East and West Boki.
The harrowing years of spending fruitful days and nights and seeing farm produce perish while conveying them to the market is fast coming to a terminal end".
He added that with the construction of the road, the two communities have started to enjoy the dividends of democracy and that the project has made life more meaningful for the villagers.
The commissioner for information and orientation, Mrs. RoseMary Archibong, who led the media team on the tour, added that with the construction of the Boje East-West road by Sen. Ben Ayade, governance has been brought closer to the people.
It would be recalled that the two constituencies were cut off until the inception of the Governor Ben Ayade led administration.
The Indigenes of Boki East and West in Cross River State have praised the State Governor, Sen. Ben Ayade for keeping to his campaign promises, with the construction of Boki East-West road and Boje Bridge.

Hosted desktops can benefit businesses in the travel industry by providing them with an IT infrastructure that:
- Allows users to access all of their applications and files in a single online workspace
- Can be accessed from branch offices and by telecommuters
- Isn't susceptible to frequent downtime incidents
- Makes it easier for them to monitor and manage their employees
- Is PCI DSS compliant
- Make it easier to add and subtract employees
- Provides them with a competitive advantage in a highly competitive industry
Hosted desktops are basically Windows desktop operating systems that you access via the Internet. Instead of the Windows desktop OS being installed on a PC, the OS is installed on the server of an IT hosting company.
You pay the IT hosting company a monthly fee to host the desktop for you, and you can access the desktop from any Internet-connected computer, tablet, or smartphone.
Each hosted desktop is assigned to a specific user, and any changes to the desktop are saved when the user logs out—so any files, applications, and settings that are on the desktop when the user logged out will still be there when he or she logs back in.
The benefits of hosted desktops for businesses in the travel industry include:
They allow travel company employees to access all of their applications and files in a single online workspace. To do their jobs, many travel agency employees need to be able to access applications called computer reservation systems (CRS), such as Apollo or Sabre, as well as other applications such as Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Access, Adobe Photoshop, and Intuit QuickBooks. They also need to be able to access all of their files and all company and customer records.
Hosted desktops allow travel industry employees to access all of their applications and files from a single online workspace, since you can install any Windows-compatible application on a hosted desktop (including applications that are only compatible with prior versions of Windows, such as Windows XP), and you can use them to access centralized data storage solutions such as Microsoft SharePoint.
Hosted desktops can also be integrated with PBX and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) systems and email server software such as Microsoft Exchange.
They allow travel companies to integrate their branch offices and telecommuters. Travel companies tend to have physically dispersed workforces, either because they have multiple branch offices or because many of their employees work from home. With hosted desktops, travel companies can provide branch office employees and telecommuters with access to the same applications and files as employees at its headquarters, since hosted desktops can be accessed from anywhere with any Internet-connected computer, tablet, smartphone, or thin client.
They allow travel company employees to access their applications and files at all times. Travel agencies are 24x7x365 businesses—they need to be available to clients that want to make travel arrangements before or after normal working hours during the week or on weekends, or that need assistance when traveling. Fortunately, most hosting companies monitor and maintain their hosted desktops 24x7x365, which minimizes outages; they also provide 24x7x365 technical support, so travel company employees can contact them for help with their hosted desktops at any time.
They make it easier for the travel companies' supervisors to monitor and manage their employees. Monitoring and managing travel company employees can be difficult due to the aforementioned fact that many of them work in different branch offices or from home, but hosted desktops make it a little bit easier, because supervisors can monitor and control these desktops via the hosting company's online administrative portal (where they can check if an employee is logged in to his or her desktop, reset passwords, block access, etc.).
They make it easier for travel companies to comply with PCI DSS. If a business wants to be able to accept credit or debit cards as payment, it has to comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS), which is a set of IT security standards developed and enforced by a consortium of payment card companies including Visa, American Express, Discover, and MasterCard. Signing up for PCI DSS-compliant hosted desktops is an easier way of achieving PCI DSS compliance than implementing all of the necessary security measures yourself.
They make it easier for travel companies to add and subtract employees. Hosted desktops make it easier for travel companies to add and subtract employees, since they can be deployed or deleted in as little as a few minutes; most new employees won't have to be taught how to use them, since most people already have a working knowledge of Windows desktop operating systems; and they don't require the purchase of any expensive servers or storage devices. They allow travel companies to easily add temporary workers during the busy travel seasons, as well as permanently increase their workforce without having to worry about getting stuck with a bunch of expensive, unused hardware if the expansion doesn't work out.
They provide a competitive advantage in a highly-competitive market. The market for travel agency services has shrunk significantly over the last ten or so years as most consumers now plan vacations and book flights, hotel rooms, and rental cars themselves using self-booking sites like Hotwire, Expedia, and Priceline. Hosted desktops can help travel agencies gain a competitive advantage in a difficult market by, among other things, increasing their employees' productivity (with anywhere-accessibility and support for multiple offices and telecommuting), maximizing their availability and responsiveness to customers (by minimizing downtime), and making it easier for them to adapt to market conditions (by being scalable).
To sign up for hosted desktops, travel agencies just need to get in touch with an IT hosting company, who will set up and deploy the desktops for them.

Pirates of the Caribbean 4 starts filming
Monday, June 21, 2010
By Julie Wiegan
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, the fourth installment in the hugely successful franchise has started filming in Hawaii, and will follow in locations in the United Kingdom and Los Angeles. Johnny Depp, Geoffrey Rush, and Kevin R. McNally reprise their roles as Captain Jack Sparrow, Captain Hector Barbossa, and Joshamee Gibbs respectively. They are newly joined by Penelope Cruz, Ian McShane, and newcomers Astrid Berges-Frisbey and Sam Claflin.
In this film, which is being shot in Disney Digital 3D, Captain Jack Sparrow crosses paths with a woman from his past (Penelope Cruz), and he's not sure if it's love or if she's a ruthless con artist who's using him to find the fabled Fountain of Youth. When she forces him aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge, the ship of the formidable pirate Blackbeard (Ian McShane), Jack finds himself on an unexpected adventure in which he doesn't know who to fear more: Blackbeard or the woman from his past.
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is a Walt Disney Pictures/Jerry Bruckheimer Films and is scheduled to open on May 20, 2011.

After anxiously awaiting Obama's housing stimulus, we find out most lenders are going to increase downpayment requirements, loan points and costs and require a FICO score of over 740 to obtain "premium rates and terms".
This will have a negative impact on the housing stimulus anticipated by the Administration.

The Best Way of Begetting Flight Compensation
Air travel has changed the way we fundamentally get starting with one point then onto the next by enormously shortening the time taken amid travel paying little heed to remove and expanding on ease along these lines empowering associations that had at first showed up about unthinkable and essentially opening up the entire world to everybody with the want to travel. However, there are several shortcomings that tag along every aspect of life, and air travel isn't left behind with numerous complaints of mismanagement on board, uncalled for delays and cancellations and as a traveler you may feel disadvantaged and seek to be compensated as it is your legal right.
All things considered, we know that chasing and inevitably getting pay from airlines when they haven't conveyed on their order from your perspective has turned out to be hard nut to pop open the same number of airlines won't rush to acknowledge obligation for harms done whether physical or generally and that is the place you will require the services of experts in the field. To begin with, if you beget a company whose primary business and role is on matters compensations, airline reimbursements to be precise, you will have a higher chance of succeeding and winning as they will focus on your case and do all it takes because basically, that is their business.
Moreover, the company should be renown for winning a majority of the cases that are related to yours, irrespective of the locale, and should have an enviable reputation and a proven track record for getting its clients the compensation they so deserve from the airlines that have faulted them. Furthermore, since it is mostly monetary value that is always in question in matters compensation, the company should be affordable and should be reasonable enough on the cut they will receive once the compensation is paid and the transaction should be devoid of any hidden extra charges.
Nonetheless, time is also a significant consideration, and when you are contracting the company you should be guaranteed that your case and eventual payout of the compensation you are to get shouldn't take too long as this will be inconveniencing to you, more so, this will be a guarantee that you can end up attaining all the services which you might need. Evidently, you should look for a company that has all the aforementioned qualities for example skyhelp, who guarantee quick settlement, don't have much physical exercises on the client as they do all the donkey work for you while you sit pretty waiting for your compensation, all which will indicate that you can end up placated.

Between the fierce independence of the goddess of the hunt
And the pure undying love of the resurrector
And somewhere in there is the descent to the underworld...
I know more now.
My heart is elsewhere,
My mind struggling to roam.
Maybe they need not be yoked together,
But at least I must be aware
Of their different paths and aspirations.
My heart may tug on me like a child's small fingers,
But I may be thankful my mind will always be there
To say "no" to the errant child.
Sometimes, though, the child knows best.
Best that they work together.

Dua Lipa Pop Queen – Can anyone stop Dua Lipa? After building the patient, 2017 is a breakthrough year for an enthralling London-born singer – selling over a million copies of her self-titled debut album and sailing through some of the world's biggest pop stars to be named the most streamed. a female artist in England – that she might be able to take a few months off. Instead, Lipa continued his motivational career climb in 2018, claiming two Brit awards in February, teaming up with jin dancefloor, Calvin Harris for a slim new banger club, One Kiss, and carelessly completing a billion YouTube impressions for his unique hit who warned against returning to bad relations with a stern-list style spell but more garish.
Dua Lipa Pop Queen 2018
While impressive on paper, collecting stream statistics that complete records sometimes feels like an intangible and almost passive format of success. Rather, diligent Lipa's coverage and exhausting tour schedule (including Coldplay's bright duties) have brought concrete benefits to the concrete world. When he last played Glasgow six months ago it was in place with a capacity of 2,500. Now he packs it to a rafter in a giant arena bowl that's used for 13,000. Fanbase essentially leaning towards young and female, but while screaming hard and stabbing as in Bieber's performances, the crowd looks heavy to reflect back on the world of Lipa's sophistication. Compared to the dull pop full performances at Hydro, there is a lack of light from the flower play.
Sexy Pop Queen Dua Lipa
On magazine covers and in stunningly stylish promo staples, Lipa often looks aloof or unobtrusive. Instead, the 22-year-old begins by pleading with fans to "be the most unrepentant" and "dancing the night away", and immediately leads the model through Blow Your Mind (Mwah), a futuristic disco slice that cunningly combines the actual kiss into in the choir. For the continuous stretch of his 90-minute show, Lipa continues to move, bouncing and reeling onstage in sprinkling black jogging, cheeky coach and navy blue bras. He is flanked by four equally tireless dancers, while a long trio of drummers and two multitasking keyboards or guitarists are bobbing on the big stage.
New Rules : Dua Lipa Pop Queen Best Song 2018
Large-screen projection displays that visualize the artificial style and the pulsating field of hiperspace stars are standard rendezvous but if there are no shortcomings different from large-scale staging gimmicks. It makes it all the more memorable that Lipa is able to retain so many jazzercise-style dance routines without losing the record.
There were times when the delirious Communion, like when Lipa mobilized herself in the front-line barrier to run a song that was kicked against the One Being One. But there are also stinging spotlights: an obsessive ballad that Thinking popped 'Bout You, with only his guitar and guitar, exposed his voice to the most annoying. Eliminate hard knocks and synthetic thrusts from his biggest blow and Lipa will remain a powerful and intuitive torch singer.
The biggest laughter of the night comes towards the end when the title card arises dedicating IDGAF to "all the rascals who have run you wrong". Though this devotional song song to empower is not yet feasible with New Order that is climactic in terms of streaming and viewing, it is possible – it may say – fans of songs roughly chant capella when they get out of the place.

Good article. President Bush prioritized stabilizing markets and financial institutions at the expense of his political future and reputation.Some of us remember how good, and selfless, a President he was. I voted for him twice, and I remain proud to say so to this day.

Dealing with Puerto Rico's crushing debt has started to resemble a circular firing squad. Simply put, the bankrupt island can't pay everything it owes, so creditors are taking aim at each other as they squabble over who will get what's left. But the debt's size and the tangled process invented to rescue Puerto Rico mean there's no established rule book to shape what comes next. Holders of general-obligation debt have declared their right to be paid first,
owners of sales-tax bonds are squabbling with one another over who deserves priority, and they're all up against the commonwealth's leaders, who want the cash for essential services. Amid this melee, Puerto Rico's federal overseers will have to choose between paying U.S. hedge funds everything they're owed or keeping schools, water and electricity running. READ MORE

We wrote our business plan
for the seed round from friends and family. We sent it out to five people for
feedback. We received some great feedback and modified the plan. We didn't
change much of the strategy but we made a lot of changes to the financial
We revised the plan and
sent it to three more people for review. We got more input and didn't know what
to do when the changes suggested contradicted one another. We ended up using changes
and ideas from the people we thought would invest in us. We went through this
process four times and ended with a business plan, which differed from the original
in many important ways.
The round was schedule to
close at the end of the month so we contacted everyone we thought would be
interested in investing. A number of people who had reviewed the plan along the
way asked for the latest up date. They all responded that the plan didn't make much
sense anymore and they wouldn't invest. One person asked if it was our plan or
the seed investors.
We weren't able to raise
the seed round from our friends and family. We ended up alienating many of the people
who were our strongest supporters. We had confused everyone including ourselves.
My father-in-law lent us
$25K of the family and friends round. He didn't really take any interest in the
company and didn't know very much about business. Whenever he came to the house
he would ask when we would repay him.
To help the business grow
we decided to ask debt-holders to covert their debt to equity. Everyone agreed
except my father-in-law, even through the conversion terms were very favorable.
He came to the house and
in the middle of dinner he told my wife that I was trying to screw him out of
his money. He said I didn't want to pay him back and that I was trying to steal
his money. I tried to explain it to him again but he refused to listen. My wife
was in tears. My father-in-law called me a greedy bastard and said he was hiring
a lawyer.
His lawyer explained the
situation to him – this enraged him even more. He now refuses to talk to me and
my wife.
The first round of seed
capital for my business came from my parents and friends. It valued the company
at $1m, which everyone was happy with. It quickly became obvious that we would
need more cash within six months if we continued to grow at the same pace.
We met with Capital
Ventures, who seemed interested in investing. We had several meetings and they
asked for lots of information. After 8 weeks they said they would invest subject
to the approval of their investment committee.
We did not hear back from
them for a month. I called them and they said the meeting was postponed but
they would get it to the committee within two weeks. Ten weeks passed and cash
was getting low - we had less than 3 months left – when we heard that the
investment committee had approved the investment and they would let us know the
terms once they finished the due diligence. That took four more weeks and we
only had a month of cash left.
They came to our office
and said they wanted to buy 45% of the company at a $650K valuation and if we
met certain benchmarks, they'd buy another 20% at the same valuation.
It was a disappointing
offer, but we were out of cash and had to accept the offer. My parents and
friends were very upset that they had lost money investing in me.

The low carbohydrate money train rolls on -- first the Atkins Diet told us low carbs, then the CSIRO Diet advised moderate carb intake, and now we've got the Body Trim Diet.
The Body Trim Diet is fast becoming one of the most popular on the market, but the debate is raging.
Hard bodies doing the hard sell -- the diet's creators are regularly appearing on morning show advertorials peddling its weight loss benefits.
Body Trim sells itself as the weight loss secret -- eat more, exercise less, lose more. So, what is the secret? Don't eat carbs after lunch.
Basically, for four DVDs, a recipe book and food diary, 60 000 Australians have spent around $140 for the Body Trim pack. It claims it's a scientifically proven system the "weight loss industry don't want you to know about", but many believe its no secret. "The low carb diet is definitely a lot of hype. People today want a quick fix for everything and if you can lose anything quickly, they'll try it", said dietician and nutritionist, Arlene Normand.
The woman known as the "Diet Nazi" says don't buy into the hype -- its all common sense and it's all free. "Low carb, you do lose quickly, because you're cutting out the calories of the carbohydrates but it's not sustainable and that's the biggest problem", Arlene said.
"The body needs carbohydrates, it needs glucose. Certain organs can only work when it has glucose, the brain, so when you're on low carb, the brain doesn't get sufficient glucose so the body breaks down fats", Arlene said.
But the success stories are plentiful -- every morning they wheel them out, all extolling the virtues of Body Trim. Founder, Geoff Jowatt says: "We're told you have got to train very hard to lose weight. Wrong. It is all food".
So what do you get for your money? "It's an information product, so it's designed to teach people the food in weight loss -- what to eat, when to eat it and why to speed up a person's resting metabolism".
And the Body Trim secret is just that -- instead of putting 90% of your effort into the gym, focus it all on your eating -- low to no carb eating.
Protein with every meal is the key -- a portion of chicken, fish or red meat and as much salad or vegies as you can eat. Starchy foods like rice, potatoes that are high carbohydrates, are out. "What hinders the weight loss phase is a truckload of starchy carbs, a heap of sugar. That's the problem. Your vegies are your best mates -- they're going to taste better with the sauces".
Body Trim's poster girl is actress, Alyssa Jane Cook. "At forty, I was really a full figured woman, who was carrying excess weight. I didn't have enough energy to be a good mum and to work as well", she said.
Alyssa says she tried everything, but after her third child, the weight wasn't moving. "I tried small portions, considered lipo, thought about doing other weight loss programmes. I was right on the verge of saying you know what, I'm just going to have to buy bigger clothes", she said.
Then Alyssa says she bought into the Body Trim philosophy. "And the secret is increasing your metabolism to the point where you're fat burning all the time", she said.
In between meals, snacks of protein, like a small can of tuna or some nuts. At breakfast 1 piece of fruit and 1 portion of carbs -- say a slice of brown bread -- after that, no carbs whatsoever.
Rob Stoutley attributes the Body Trim philosophy to saving his life. "It's not just about losing weight. There are so many other psychological issues, social issues, falling into depression. I didn't even know where I'd gone", Rob said.
After falling ill with a lung condition, Rob put on over 60 kilos -- his weight ballooning to 155 kilos. He spent 4 days in the gym training two hours a day and began a strict diet. "All that slogging at the gym and after four months, I'd only lost three kilos", he said.
Within a week, the high protein plan turned his body into a fat burning machine. "In one week to lose 7 kilos, when all I did walk 30 minutes a day and eat -- I was totally shocked. I really didn't think that would happen in my wildest dreams", Rob said.

Individual variability of brain neuronal chromatin: implication to schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a devastating neuropsychiatric disorder affecting approximately 1% of the global population. The predisposition factors for developing schizophrenia are largely unknown, yet it is highly heritable, suggesting that genetics play a significant role. However, to date genetic studies did not completely uncover the genetic roots of schizophrenia. Non-genetic factors are also mostly unknown; and some of them can may be epigenetic modifications. Recent technology advances now allow quantifying these modifications; specifically chromatin modifications can be measured by chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIP-seq). We took advantage of this method to evaluate the transcriptional activity in brain neurons of individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia to identify genomic loci and genes, which are responsible for disease development.
In this study, we profiled chromatin modifications (specifically, H3K4me3, a marker of active transcription) in brain neurons of schizophrenic and control individuals by ChIP-seq and identified a number of genomic loci that differ in norm and pathology; they include known schizophrenia genetic risk loci and novel, previously not reported, regions. The findings of this study provide an insight into modifications of transcription activity specifically in brain neurons in schizophrenia; it also highlights a number of genes and pathways potentially involved in schizophrenia pathogenesis.

It is a custom among the Canadian Indians, that when one dreams
that another has rendered him any service, the person dreamed of thinks it
a duty to fulfil the dream, if possible. A chief one morning came to the
governor, Sir William Johnstone, and told him that he had last night
dreamed that Sir William had made him a present of the suit of regimentals
he wore. The governor readily presented them to him; but as the Indian was
going out, "Stop," said Sir William, "I had almost forgot, but I dreamed
about you last night; I dreamed that you gave me such a piece of land,"
describing a large tract. "You shall have it," said he, "but if you please,
Sir William, we will _not dream any more_."
Lessing was remarkable for a frequent absence of mind. Having missed money
at different times, without being able to discover who took it, he
determined to put the honesty of his servant to a trial, and left a handful
of gold on the table. "Of course you counted it?" said one of his friends.
"Count it!" said Leasing, rather embarrassed; "no, I forgot that."
At a public sale, there was a book which Lessing was very desirous of
possessing. He gave three of his friends at different times a commission to
buy it at any price. They accordingly bid against each other till they had
got as far as ninety crowns, there having been no other bidder after it had
reached ten crowns. Happily one of them thought it best to speak to the
others; when it appeared they had all been bidding for Lessing, whose
forgetfulness in this instance cost him eighty crowns.
