Why Saturday night's self-inflicted blows wounded the UFC and boosted the WWE
I guess it's kind of ironic.
For one, I like the WWE while knowing it's scripted. Yet, I don't care much for the UFC although it's a real sport.
Secondly, when the WWE breaks script and has some real moments it's exciting. However, when the UFC breaks its real script and goes fake it loses its luster.
My, Vince McMahon, you are a genius. Dana White? I just hope this isn't what I think it was.
Let's look back to Saturday when a UFC card was scheduled and a WWE scene broke out. Yes, the UFC – on a night it had already looked watered down by canceled matches and a knockout that shortened the main event – went all WWE on us.
After Daniel Cormier knocked out Stipe Miocic at UFC 226 on Saturday night, he proceeded to call out Brock Lesnar, who just so happened to be in the audience. Lesnar entered the ring sporting the sadistic grin WWE fans know all too well and went up and pushed Cormier.
Oh, here we go. Is the UFC really cheapening itself to this?
So after Lesnar's push, the other guys in the ring pretend to separate him and Cormier. And what do you know? Lesnar obliges. Cormier then gets the mic in his face again and says "Push me now, you go to sleep later." Lesnar again flashes the same sadistic smile and receives a nudge from Cormier.
Lesnar gets the mic back and talks all kinds of trash about other fighters, throwing out cuss words, before aggressively pushing the mic into a TV camera lens.
Boy, does this act look familiar? Well, kind of, if you count the handful of times the WWE Universal Champion actually shows up on WWE Raw. Nonetheless, I suspect a whole lot of acting here.
Cormier then regains the mic and says "Brock, get out of my Octagon. I have pictures to take." White, the UFC president who led Lesnar to the ring, is then shown smiling ear to ear as he prepares to lead The Beast Incarnate back out of the Octagon. (Wait, does he think he's Paul Heyman or something?)
Man, did White look proud of himself. There wasn't much to smile about that night, but he was gleaming.
Unfortunately I think I know the answer to this question, but I'll ask anyway: Did the UFC just take a page out of the WWE's playbook and go rogue by not sticking to its true nature?
It sure appeared that way, and that's a bad sign for the sport. Like I said, I'm no UFC guy, but I've got to assume the guys who like the sport for its violent nature have got to be let down by what transpired. The sport doesn't need scripted theatrics; it does need scheduled matches to happen, though.
I just hope this wasn't a master plan by White to salvage what was a disaster of a night. If it was and the confrontation was as disingenuous as it looked, it was an even worse night than originally suspected.
The UFC can't afford to go down this road. The act is already out there. It's called the WWE. And while some stars – including Ronda Rousey, CM Punk and others – have crossed over in either direction, it's important for the UFC to not become like the WWE.
Like I said before, if a little real action slips into WWE, it gets interesting. If a little fake seeps into the UFC, it loses credibility.
For a long time Dana White has done an incredible job in marketing the UFC and making it popular. I just hope this is a one-time thing and it wasn't in fact planned.
After all, there is only one Vince McMahon. And anyone trying to duplicate his efforts has "no chance, no chance in hell."

Hi all, Rico here!
I wanted to talk about car detailing this week. It's an important thing to add to your list of to-do's and keep up with regularly. Let's talk about why…
First off, what exactly do I mean by car detailing?
Car detailing is much different than an exterior car wash, or a quick vacuum. Car detailing means getting into the nitty gritty.
This means an exterior wash that includes the trim, headlights, the wheels and chassis, along with an interior thorough vacuum and appropriate cleaning (depending upon the interior materials of your car) of all interior nooks and crannies.
Why detail rather than a quickie car wash?
A car wash is really a quick exterior wash and doesn't address anything internally, nor does it provide a thorough cleaning. It can also be dangerous to go through a car was with brushes. Many of the brushes used can damage the paint on your car.
The brushes aren't cleaned, so figure whatever was left over from the person before (sand, dirt, etc.) is going to be rubbed onto your car when you drive through.
Why is it important to regularly detail your car?
There are so many reasons to regularly details your car! They start with overall condition—by putting in the time and TLC, your car will undoubtedly hold up better in the long run. It also protects from sun damage.
Huh? Sun damage?
In Seattle?
Yep, keeping your car shiny and clean keeps that reflection bouncing off and not damaging the surfaces as easily.
Lastly, comfort.
Ever find yourself driving or sitting at a stoplight and looking down to realize you really need to clean off that dashboard? We call that a distraction. Keeping things looking and smelling clean allows you to keep your eyes where they belong—on the road.
By putting in the time and money to maintain your car, it will help you to keep the value when you part ways with it in the long-term. It of course helps to sport a shiny look and keep you feeling proud as you show it off to the world.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Fitch Ratings on Tuesday affirmed Morgan Stanley's MS, -0.59% long-term issuer default rating at A and revised its outlook to stable from negative. "Morgan Stanley has demonstrated its ability to manage through very difficult markets raising capital from government programs and from private investors," said Fitch in a statement. However, it noted that profitability is expected to remain weak although capital is considered sufficient to absorb pressures. "Fitch also considers Morgan Stanley to be a survivor that would receive additional government support if needed," it said.

Inspired by the theme of "Hana(saki) Valley" from the video game, Okami
Like a breath of fresh air
Rising from the cool, moist depths
Of a valley that once lay dormant,
I, too, take flight
And gaze at my new surroundings.
The colorful trees laden with young fruit,
Water rushing down from a cliff
Only to meet what it tries to escape —
These sounds pierce the feathers of my wings
And give way to my eager descent.
But as I lay in the sky,
Feeling the sun brush my eyelids,
My mother's call awakens me.
She smiles and warmly holds me in her hands.
I am loved.

I wear my pajamas all day!
Hi there!
Do you feel like wearing your Pjs all day?
This season it's completely fashion yes yes! Go for it and check out how I wore my pjs styled set around Dubai mall.
After a long search for a perfect set I really fell in love with this one from *RIVER ISLAND*
Most of the shops I checked surprisingly had maybe only one of these sets. And I'm surprised because they are very hot at the moment. And most of them were either too colorful or the prints were too big or too small.
So this one, was kind of perfect for me. Specially like this grey/green color. In the shop when I was trying it on, under the shop lights (I always find them "lying") the color was more like green but outside on the natural light looks more grey. I like it both ways ;)
it's really comfortable, it's stylish and great for every day/night either you choose to wear with flats or heels.
PS. I don't recommend sleeping in it :) not that I tried but still it's not a pajamas.
Enjoy and get comfy.

What defines power vs. vinyasa yoga can be confusing, and challenging to figure out how they may fit into your practice. While the two styles share a connection, several differences exist that can impact a class experience and expectations. If you are looking to get started with either or both styles, we are here to help you discover the unique characteristics and features of power yoga vs. vinyasa yoga.
Power Yoga vs. Vinyasa Yoga
The main overlap between power and vinyasa yoga is the emphasis on linking breath to movement to create a continuous flow between poses (vinyasa). Power yoga can be thought of as a practice that falls under the umbrella of vinyasa yoga: its use of vinyasa flows give it the fluid and breath-centered nature of yoga, while also embracing a focus on intense physical fitness. Vinyasa yoga is a more adaptable practice that can range from slow and gentle to fast and intense — while always keeping its primary focus on the breath. In this way, power yoga vs. vinyasa yoga can be described as strength and power vs. flexibility and adaptability.
What is Power Yoga?
Power yoga is a relatively new addition to the world of yoga, having been developed in the United States in the 1980s. It describes a vigorous, athletic, and more fitness-based approach to yoga. In addition to a high-intensity level, power yoga includes linking breath to movement to create fluid transitions between poses.
Power yoga was originally created as a more flexible alternative to ashtanga yoga — a sequence of specific poses practiced in the same order every time. However, with no specific poses or sequences required in power yoga, no two classes are alike. The common trait between all classes is a physical work that is high-intensity, vigorous, and athletic. You will build strength, endurance, and stamina in each session.
Besides building strength in the physical body, other benefits of practicing power yoga include:
- Increased flexibility
- Increased blood flow
- Improved mood
- Reduced stress
- A low-impact option for movement
What is Vinyasa Yoga?
Vinyasa yoga has roots in India and is a practice that links breath to movement to create a fluid and seamless flow between postures. It is popular due to its dynamic nature. Ujjayi breathing is commonly taught and practiced in many vinyasa classes: inhalation and exhalation through the nose, and the opening between the vocal cords narrowed to create an audible rushing or hissing sound.
Vinyasa yoga is also derived from the Ashtanga yoga practice, but has no required poses and sequences, which allows for more creativity and variety within classes. Vinyasa yoga is also incredibly versatile in its intensity level; it can be either vigorous and dynamic, or gentle and restorative. While elements of vinyasa yoga can vary, the unifying principle of every class is the connection of breath to movement.
Vinyasa yoga is first and foremost a breath-based practice: there is a continuous focus and awareness on linking breath to movement during the practice. While its primary benefit is developing flexibility, other benefits include:
- Improved cardiovascular function
- Improved sleep
- Reduced stress
- A calmer mind
Both power yoga and vinyasa yoga provide many benefits. Understanding the differences between the two styles can help you better decide when and how to incorporate them into your practice. To experience a dynamic and powerful power yoga flow for yourself, check out this guide on the Power Yoga Sequence You Can Take Anywhere and Briohny Smyth's Power Vinyasa series hosted on Alo Moves.

Canadian entry issues in the global marketplace
By Yusra Siddiquee
In an increasingly globalized marketplace, the movement of personnel across borders to work at subsidiary offices or to provide short-term
advisory services is commonplace. Legal and human resources professionals must be aware of the appropriate duties that international employees and contractors can perform in Canada as business visitors, and those activities that require the issuance of a work permit. This article will review the key factors to consider in determining the Canadian immigration requirements when utilizing the services of foreign nationals.
Business visit vs. work permit
A foreign national is a person who is not a Canadian citizen or permanent resident. Foreign nationals who enter Canada temporarily to provide employment-related services require a work permit unless they fit into one of the specifically enumerated criteria for entry as a business visitor. The challenge is differentiating between business and employment activities. The common misconception held by Canadian companies is that if the foreign national is not being paid in Canada, then they are automatically a business visitor. In fact, the most important criteria in determining whether an individual is a business visitor or requires a work permit is an analysis of the actual duties to be performed in Canada – not the source of remuneration, duration of entry or nationality of the individual.
Business visit
A business visitor is a foreign national who seeks to engage in international activities in Canada without directly entering the Canadian labour market. In order for a business visitor's activity to be of an international nature, the foreign national should not receive remuneration from a Canadian source and their employer's principal place of business and profits should be outside Canada. It is, however, the second part of the test that causes the greatest amount of confusion in the analysis, "without directly entering the Canadian labour market." This phrase can best be described as the foreign national not doing an activity that a Canadian could have theoretically been hired to undertake, and/or requiring Canadian expertise or presence.
Examples of permissible activities that either fit within the definition of a business visit or are specifically exempt from the requirement to obtain a work permit include:
- Attending conferences or trade shows.
- Attending meetings with parties to acquire familiarization on a product or process, or to receive an update on an international project.
- General marketing activities to a prospective client.
- Negotiating contracts.
- Reviewing prospective project requirements.
- Reviewing documents for the purpose of an international audit.
- Providing after-sales service pursuant to an international warranty for a product manufactured entirely outside Canada.
- Purchasing Canadian goods or services or receiving training in respect of goods purchased.
- Receiving or providing intra-company training at a related company, including incidental production of goods or services that results from the training.
- Selling goods, provided the goods are not being sold to the general public in Canada.
- Leading a seminar or workshop of five business days or less.
- Short-term entry of high-skilled foreign nationals to work in Canada for no more than 15 consecutive days or less in a six-month period, or 30 consecutive days or less in a one-year period. It is important to be aware that the days are counted on a consecutive and not cumulative basis. This relatively new exemption was implemented for public policy reasons to address brief and/or rare trips to Canada where the time and effort to obtain a work permit would be substantially higher than the intended duration of entry.
Business visitors are usually able to travel on short notice, subject to being a national of a country for which a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) is required to enter Canada. Depending on the passport held by the foreign national, a business visitor may have to obtain a TRV at a Canadian Embassy or Consulate outside Canada as a prerequisite prior to travelling to Canada. Alternatively, foreign nationals who do not require a TRV may require an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA), which is applied for online at the Government of Canada website. The entry requirements for foreign nationals can be divided into three groups of travellers:
- Travellers requiring a TRV: Generally, these are citizens of 'developing world countries' such as all African countries, most Asian countries, most countries of the former Soviet Union and many countries in South America.
- Travellers requiring an eTA: These are citizens of countries that are TRV-exempt such as Western Europe, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Mexico, Australia and New Zealand.
- Travellers not requiring a TRV or an eTA: Citizens of the United States are exempt from both requirements.
It is important that HR professionals and managers are aware of the nationality of their business travellers to commence visa applications in a timely manner and to manage expectations. A TRV can take several weeks to issue, with no guarantee of success, while an eTA can usually be issued within a day. Regardless of nationality, it is recommended that all business visitors have an introduction letter from the Canadian company they will be visiting to present to Immigration authorities on arrival in Canada.
Work permit
If a foreign national undertakes an activity in Canada that could theoretically be performed by a Canadian, then a work permit is required. Work is defined as an activity for which wages, commission or other valuable consideration is earned, or an activity that competes directly with activities of Canadian citizens or permanent residents in the Canadian labour market. It is not relevant that there may not be a Canadian readily available to undertake the activity, nor is it relevant that the foreign worker will be paid from outside Canada.
Clear examples of functions requiring a work permit include a foreign-based employee who holds a title within a Canadian office, has direct reports in Canada or provides direction to a Canadian office. This captures senior managers who have cross-border managerial responsibility for employees or a function. The work permit definition also captures foreign management consultants engaged on a project for a Canadian client. Furthermore, where a Canadian office obtains the assistance of a foreign office's employees to aid in the completion of a project, then those foreign employees are undertaking a work function for which a work permit is required.
Work permit categories
Once it is determined that a work permit is required, the next assessment to be undertaken is selecting the appropriate work permit category. There are over 20 work permit categories, each with its own procedure and processing time, and it is extremely important that the appropriate and most expedient category be selected. It is not the responsibility of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada to determine the most expedient category of entry for a foreign national. In fact, in the absence of a submission by the employer or legal counsel, Immigration officials may select the most difficult category under which to adjudicate the application. This can result in the refusal of a work permit application.
There are several expedient work permit categories. Canada is facilitative in permitting the entry of key employees to assist with the operations of an affiliate, subsidiary, branch or head office in Canada, pursuant to the intra-company transfer provisions. The Intra-company Transfer category is not tied to an applicant's nationality, but rather requires that the applicant be employed with the related company abroad for at least one year prior to applying for a work permit. The simplified entry of business people is also addressed in several free trade agreements to which Canada is signatory.
Pursuant to NAFTA and the parallel free trade agreements with Chile, Colombia and Peru, Canada offers facilitative work permit options to American, Mexican, Chilean, Colombian and Peruvian citizens in strategic professions. The recent Canada-European Union Free Trade Agreement (CETA) has also created new categories for accelerated work permit issuance to EU nationals in limited scenarios. CETA, while certainly useful, is not as facilitative or comprehensive as NAFTA and the parallel South American agreements. Canada has also created a special category for the spouses of skilled workers and foreign students.
Depending on the permit category, and the nationality of the applicant, an application for a work permit can be processed in as quickly as one day, at the port of entry on arrival in Canada. However, if a foreign national does not qualify under one of the many "fast-track" work permit categories, then the Canadian employer is required to obtain a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) positive decision from Service Canada, our domestic labour authority. The Canadian company is required to provide comprehensive submissions to the authorities distinguishing the skill set of the foreign national from candidates in the Canadian labour market; evidencing through extensive recruitment efforts why a Canadian could not be hired or trained for the position. The total processing time to obtain a positive decision including the recruitment stage can take several months.
Alternatively, for certain technical occupations that comprise the Global Talent Stream of the LMIA, the Canadian company can complete a Labour Market Benefits Plan in which the company outlines specific activities it will undertake and targets it will achieve to invest in the skills and training of its Canadian employees, transfer the specialized knowledge of the foreign worker to Canadians and/or improve the company performance as a result of employing the foreign worker. The company commits to audits and evidencing its efforts several times per year. Although the processing time to achieve a positive decision is approximately two weeks, the ongoing reporting requirements are onerous.
It is therefore essential that legal and human resources professionals not only evaluate whether a foreign national is a business visitor or a worker, but also select the most expeditious and least onerous application category when a work permit is required. Depending on where the foreign national resides, they may also be required to complete an exam as part of the work permit process. Furthermore, if a foreign national has a serious medical condition or a criminal conviction, they can be refused entry to Canada. Being aware of these factors will enable professionals to manage human resource issues, as well as expectations.
Concluding remarks
It is important to be able to identify the duties that will trigger the requirement for a work permit and ensure that frequent business travellers are properly instructed on what to say and present to Immigration officials. The penalties for non-compliance with Immigration rules can result in fines to the company and exclusion of the foreign national from Canada for up to two years. To limit the risks associated with international travel, the development of a comprehensive Immigration policy is highly recommended.

Rain stopped play last week, cold and miserable conditions kept Fisho's indoors. Before the wet there were still good catches of Snapper and Pearl Perch off Grassy with another good run of Tuskies about. Leather Jackets are in numbers out around 80 meters. Down south Green Island is loaded with some really good Bream with a few Kings about. Off the Dot, Mowies, Snapper and the odd Trag are coming in.
Rock hoppers are getting amongst some nice Drummer, Tailor, Tarwhine and Bream off the Jail ledges down to the Lighthouse. Good reports of Jew Fish down off Hat Head were received through the week.
Big Bream continue to be caught along the Breakwall with great success using gut bait like Mullet, Chook or Blackfish gut if you can get it. There has been the odd Jewfish caught around the river mouth in pretty awful conditions. There were good catches of Flathead and Bream up around Smithtown last week with a Schoolie or two in the mix. Blackfish were a little more active after the rain through the Cut and along the Breakwall. Don't stress if you can't get weed we have weed flies that are working a treat.
Smoky Beach has been fishing well for Tailor but the Bream have dropped off a little. Back Beach has a few Flathead on the fuller tides while around the Boulders on Main Beach you should find a bream or two.

Auction in Malinta, Inc. vs Lubayen (GR 173979)
The sole issue is whether the stipulation in the parties Bidders Application and Registration Bidding Agreement effectively limited the venue of the instant case exclusively to the proper court of Valenzuela City.
The Court rules in the negative.
The general rule on the venue of personal actions, as in the instant case for damages filed by respondent, is embodied in Section 2, Rule 4 of the Rules of Court. It provides:
Sec. 2. Venue of personal actions. All other actions may be commenced and tried where the plaintiff or any of the principal plaintiffs resides, or where the defendant or any of the principal defendants resides, or in the case of a nonresident defendant, where he may be found, at the election of the plaintiff.
The afore-quoted rule, however, finds no application where the parties, before the filing of the action, have validly agreed in writing on an exclusive venue. But the mere stipulation on the venue of an action is not enough to preclude parties from bringing a case in other venues. It must be shown that such stipulation is exclusive. In the absence of qualifying or restrictive words, such as exclusively and waiving for this purpose any other venue, shall only preceding the designation of venue, to the exclusion of the other courts, or words of similar import, the stipulation should be deemed as merely an agreement on an additional forum, not as limiting venue to the specified place.
This has been the rule since the 1969 case of Polytrade Corporation v. Blanco. It was held therein that the clause [t]he parties agree to sue and be sued in the Courts of Manila, does not preclude the filing of suits in the court which has jurisdiction over the place of residence of the plaintiff or the defendant. The plain meaning of the said provision is that the parties merely consented to be sued in Manila considering that there are no qualifying or restrictive words which would indicate that Manila, and Manila alone, is the agreed venue. It simply is permissive and the parties did not waive their right to pursue remedy in the courts specifically mentioned in Section 2 of Rule 4 of the Rules of Court.
Paglaum Management and Development corp vs Union Bank (GR 179018)
The sole issue to be resolved is whether Makati City is the proper venue to assail the foreclosure of the subject real estate mortgage. This Court rules in the affirmative.
According to the Rules, real actions shall be commenced and tried in the court that has jurisdiction over the area where the property is situated. In this case, all the mortgaged properties are located in the Province of Cebu. Thus, following the general rule, PAGLAUM and HealthTech should have filed their case in Cebu, and not in Makati.
However, the Rules provide an exception, in that real actions can be commenced and tried in a court other than where the property is situated in instances where the parties have previously and validly agreed in writing on the exclusive venue thereof. In the case at bar, the parties claim that such an agreement exists. The only dispute is whether the venue that should be followed is that contained in the Real Estate Mortgages, as contended by Union Bank, or that in the Restructuring Agreement, as posited by PAGLAUM and HealthTech. This Court rules that the venue stipulation in the Restructuring Agreement should be controlling.
Union Bank vs. People of the Phils (GR 192565)
The case presents to us the issue of what the proper venue of perjury under Article 183 of the RPC should be Makati City, where the Certificate against Forum Shopping was notarized, or Pasay City, where the Certification was presented to the trial court.
Under the circumstances, Article 183 of the RPC is indeed the applicable provision; thus, jurisdiction and venue should be determined on the basis of this article which penalizes one who make[s] an affidavit, upon any material matter before a competent person authorized to administer an oath in cases in which the law so requires. The constitutive act of the offense is the making of an affidavit; thus, the criminal act is consummated when the statement containing a falsity is subscribed and sworn before a duly authorized person.
Baritua vs. CA (GR 100748)
It is fundamental that the situs for bringing real and personal civil actions is fixed by the rules to attain the greatest convenience possible to parties litigants and their witnesses by affording them maximum accessibility to the courts of justice. The choice of venue is given to the plaintiff but is not left to his caprice. It cannot unduly deprive a resident defendant of the rights conferred upon him by the Rules of Court.
When the complaint was filed in Rosales, Pangasinan, not one of the parties was a resident of the town. Private respondent was a resident of Los Angeles, California while his attorney-in-fact was a resident of Cubao, Quezon City. Petitioners business address according to private respondent is in Pasay City, although petitioner claims he resides in Gubat, Sorsogon. The venue in Rosales, Pangasinan was indeed improperly laid.

Many theories surround the early origins of the Chinese Crested breed, with some suggesting it derives from Africa, being known as the 'African Hairless Terrier,' and was adopted by Chinese trading ships that docked along the African shores, using the dogs to catch and kill troublesome vermin. Others speculate that the breed arose in the Han Dynasty of China, where it was widely utilised as a guardian dog, protecting the homestead and the treasure houses. The Chinese Crested is also featured in paintings from the time of the ancient Aztec wanderers, a tribe that used the hairless dogs to warm beds and consumed them as a delicacy. Whatever the true nature of the breed's evolution, the Chinese Crested rose to great global popularity and was officially recognised by the American Kennel Club in 1991.
Distinctive in appearance, the Chinese Crested is classified in two varieties - the 'Hairless' and the 'PowderPuff.' The Hairless usually boasts a tuft of hair on its head, toes, tail and extending down its legs, whilst its body is covered in a robust skin. Both varieties possess a wedge-shaped head, tapering muzzle and large, upright ears. The skin and coat will be solid or parti-coloured, and mottling is common. Contrary to popular belief, it is possible for a litter to produce both variations of the breed, although the Hairless Chinese Crested is more popular with breeders.
An intelligent and vigilant breed, the Chinese Crested makes a great companion and watch dog, alerting you to change or threat about the homestead. Highly trainable, adapting quickly to new situations and people and obedient to instruction, the Chinese Crested is well suited to the domestic setting, compatible with children and other house pets when introduced gradually. In order to prevent behavioural problems often associated with the 'toy' breed group, early socialisation, consistent training and firm leadership is essential. On average, a healthy Chinese Crested will weigh 4-5 kg, with a life expectancy of 10-14 years.
Early onset blindness, alongside other optical complaints are identified in the breed. Skin allergies, dental disease and thyroid deficiencies are also common, as is easy weight gain. Feeding human foods is not encouraged for this reason. Despite these complaints, the Chinese Crested is typically healthy and long-lived.
Lovely companion dog, so adorable and loyal
We have 5 there all so very different we love them all there great lap dogs.
Teddy is an extremly lovable lap dog. He is the powder puff version. Very alert will bark before anyone even knocks on the door is like he has a 6th sense. Very protective dog. Especially when out on walks. Takes a while to get on with other dogs but loves our 3 cats and is very protective of our 3 legged cat. I call him her body guard.
He follows me everywhere and has a habit of sleeping under things. Covers blankets, inside cat bed etc. He has had skin rashes which vet said breed is prone to and has list hair on occasions through it but after being on meds has been fine. Very inquisitive and lives children and babies. Overall amasing family pet. Especially around children I think would be very protective off.

If you are at all interested in looking into what can be beneficial for assisting in good health, the use of probiotics is a hot topic as of late. A probiotic is"good for you" bacteria as well as specific yeast found in some foods and supplements. Research has been identifying these bacteria and yeasts as highly helpful in reducing a wide range of disorders, from GI distress to allergies, ulcerative colitis to bloating. These bacteria also help to assist replenishing intestinal flora following a round of antibiotic usage.
Is the use of probiotics right for you? Here are four things you may not know about the world of good bacteria:
- The collection of microorganisms in the gut is ENORMOUS! Some estimates are as many as 500 to 1,000 species of bacteria. The amount of microorganisms number 10 to 1 to the cells in our body.
- The strain does matter. Probiotics are bacteria that are helpful to the body when either swallowed OR applied to it. Most probiotics will be identified by three names, their genus, species and strain. The Food and Drug Administration does not currently require manufacturers to disclose their strains on food or supplements
- Probiotics should be taken frequently but may not be needed every day. Unless you are having a specific issue with your digestive system where you would use a strain specific probiotic shown to assist with a specific symptom.
- Most major brands have been shown to contain what they claim.

If you're getting into fitness and fitness apps for your phone, you've probably heard of the "7 Minute Workout" apps. While this fitness app craze started with the Official 7 Minute Workout app by Johnson & Johnson, many other app developers have created similar programs. There's one big question for anyone considering including a 7 Minute Workout in their fitness routine: does it work?
The simple answer is yes! Short workout programs like the 7 Minute Workout are centered around the idea of high-intensity interval training and circuit training. This means doing short bursts of hard exercise and short recovery periods between exercises. Research suggests that high-intensity interval training can improve aerobic fitness in a shorter period of time than traditional exercise. Similarly, circuit training uses resistance exercises with limited rest between each exercise to improve muscular fitness.
By combining both aerobic and resistance exercises, you get a balanced exercise program that targets your whole body. A high intensity workout means that you get great results in much less time than traditional exercise. It's much easier to fit a 7 minute workout into your day than two hours at the gym. Best of all, the 7 Minute Workout is designed to be done with little to no equipment and uses your own bodyweight for resistance. By downloading the app on your phone or tablet, you have access to a quality workout at home, at the office, or during travel. Even if you only do one workout everyday, 7 minutes of exercise is better than no exercise at all!
A simple search for "7 Minute Workout" will give you many results in the app store! Be sure to read reviews and try to choose a program that provides videos to show you how to do each exercise properly so you know your technique is correct. Whether you just squeeze in a few minutes of exercise each day or start a training program with friends, there's great potential to get real results and improve your fitness with a 7 Minute Workout.
For more ideas on circuit training and resistance training exercises, check out all of our workout posts.

All Businesses in operation in Limerick, Cork, Dublin, Galway and across Ireland will be aware of Data Breaches and the risks associated with them. A data breach can come in the form of a paper breach when failing to implement confidential document destruction and a digital breach when failing to have appropriate security procedures in place. The knock on negativity that an Organisation faces affects client relationships in addition to damaging your Company image.
In many cases due to DATA PROTECTION LAW your Organisation may be legally responsible to your customers. In this article I will go through my top six threats to Data Privacy for Organisations.
Top SixThreats;
- Lack of Data Protocols
In many data breach cases it is found that there was a failure of the Organisation to have even the most basic protocols in place to minimise the loss of customer and employee data. Examples have been; a failure to have confidential paper stored in a secure location when not in use and waste paper material being destroyed through an onsite document shredding facility.
- Restricted access to information
A regular mistake by Organisations today both Public and Private is to restrict access to confidential information for employees. A simple "need to know" procedure is a great step in achieving data security.
Within many Organisations there seems to be a free for all information sharing tendency. However, in today's competitive environment business clients and public clients to given Organisations expect to have their information maintained securely. Various staff members with varying staff functions are not required to know one another data details. A simple contract inclusion at employment stage would reduce and minimise this non-required cross function data sharing tendency.
- Extended information gathering & sharing
There is an increasing trend in information gathering through online forms and "opt out" functions. This information may be shared among Organisations with no accurate business case to justify such sharing.
- Increases in technology
This point covers a multitude of technologies but I will mention two different kinds;
- Confidential document shredding – reconstruction technologies
- Online digital data technologies that part individuals from their personal information for fraudulent use.
- Lack of awareness
There is a concerning level ignorance or lack of knowledge from a Data Controller perspective and general public perspective when dealing with sensitive data.
Data Controllers may lack a degree of awareness of their data protection obligations, such examples can be failing to complete a clear out shredding process at the end of each calendar year or failing to have a confidential document destruction process in place for daily generated materials.

Daimler does not just consist of strong brands (Mercedes-Benz, smart, car2go etc.) but also strong values. We are convinced that people are more motivated, more efficient and happier when they can participate in work life just as they are regarding their personality and identity. To ensure that everyone can do just that, we as an employer stipulate and support a culture of appreciation and respect – also with regard to sexual orientation.
It's not just simply Daimler as an employer that's behind Daimler Pride. Daimler Pride is supported by a number of brand partners (Mercedes-Benz, Car2Go, Moovel) and employees around the world, all of whom weigh in for diversity, tolerance and acceptance on a daily basis.
This culture is lived through the commitment of our employee resource groups GL@D (Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender+ at Daimler) in Germany, Austria and Israel as well as in the USA through the Spectrum and Equal employee resource groups.
Daimler stands for a culture of appreciation and respect – with regard to sexual orientation as well. Everyday we are committed to ensuring that our employees can work in an environment where they can participate in work life just as they are regarding their personality and identity. Because it does not matter whom you love. It is exclusively on the basis of this appreciation that each one of us can demonstrate maximum performance.
We are openly acknowledging this conviction. With the Daimler Pride Tour, our employees are taking to the streets in many cities to communicate our commitment to diversity to the outside world. And they are doing so globally.
"We live diversity!"
We seek out dialog when it comes to tolerance and diversity. In close cooperation with corporate management, the employee representative committees and employee resource groups, we promote exchange with our employees to sharpen awareness that these values concern everyone.
Participation in the Christopher Street Day Parades (CSD) in Germany and the Pride Parades in the US emerged from these dialogs and in close cooperation with the employee networks GL@D (Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender+ at Daimler) in Germany and Spectrum and Equal in the US. This involvement – depending on the location – has either already been in existence for many years now, as is the case in Berlin and Portland, or it is just starting up, for example in Tel Aviv.
In 2017, cross-locational cultural dialog according to the slogan "We live diversity!" emerged for the first time, supported by the Global Diversity Office. Daimler, the Mercedes-Benz Bank, Car2Go, Moovel and the GL@D employee network took part in six CSD parades with a big truck tour. With their participation, around 500 employees showed their support for openness and tolerance.
We are building on this momentum in 2018 and are continuing to grow: In the context of the Daimler Pride Tour, Daimler is for the first time becoming involved in Pride Parades in a total of 17 cities. The joint motto: "We live diversity!" We are thus making our mark worldwide for tolerance and diversity.
Our employees are proud to work for Daimler. They are proud because we as an employer live a culture of diversity, and we treat our employees with respect – no matter whom they love or where they come from.
Do you want to find out several other reasons that make our employees proud to work for us? Then follow us on Instagram @daimlercareer and discover our employees' contributions at #daimlerpride.
You, too, can show your support for diversity with #daimlerpride, for example if you have seen our Daimler Pride Truck at one of our events, or if you want to share what makes you proud.

In previous years, I've not really thought too hard about contributing to charities. In 2014, I was embarrassed looking back at my annual expenses and noticing that I'd only donated £25 for the year!
In 2015, I committed to dramatically improving that number and I set the goal of donating £250 in 12 months. I ended up donating £254.88 to 7 different charities.
In 2016, I decided to raise the bar to £500 for the year. I ended up donating £750 across 2 charities.
In 2017, I wanted to make a bigger impact with my contribution, even if it took me 2-3 years to get there. So, I decided to build a school.
I've been fortunate enough not to have anything serious happen to my immediate family. I don't have any strong feelings towards one charity over another – they're all good causes in my eyes. But this year, I want my contribution to have one focus.
After doing a bit of research online I decided to work with a charity in the UK who help to build schools for children in Africa, they're called 'Building Schools For Africa'. Here are some photos of what the schools look like before and after the funding.
A school costs £20,000 to build, which is going to take a lot of effort. So, I've committed to donating 10% of my course profits directly to Building Schools for Africa. I'm also personally donating a proportion of my income every month to help get to the target.
I've set up a 'Blue Peter' style thermometer to give you a visual representation of my progress, and I'll update the total each month in my Monthly Goal Updates.
I'm unsure how much money my course will raise, so it's difficult to accurately predict a timeframe. For now, I'm setting the goal to reach the target by 31st December 2020.
Would you like to help?
If you're interested in donating to help fund the project or have any questions about it, please contact me direct at firstname.lastname@example.com. Any contribution you offer will be gratefully received. Thank you!

Time The Most Precious Commodity
What is Commodity
A commodity is any useful or valuable thing, especially something that is bought and sold. Grain, vegetables, and precious metals are commodities, but so are personal qualities that can be used to make money: Originality and imagination are rare commodities in the film business.
Above is the definition from www.vocabulary.com which I find that describe commodity the best. Let me ask you a question. Is Time a commodity?
Time is Commodity
To me, time is also a very useful and valuable thing that people bought and sold. For self-employed, we exchange (sell) our time to the company in exchange for money. In this context, the company is actually buying time from people. Of course, there is more than time, it is also the skills and experiences that the company is buying. In our current context now, I am focusing on the TIME.
When we lost money, for an example in an investment or trading then we can still earn it back. Money can be earned after we lost it. But, how about TIME? If we have lost time, can we earn it back? NO, one word NO. That why to me TIME is the most precious commodity in the world that cannot be replaced. Treasure your time, use it to the fullest and meaningful. Spend your time in doing something that is meaningful, it can be anything is the 6 aspects of our life (Career, Health, Personal Development, Relationship, Spiritual and Wealth).
Money can be earned back after lost, Time we will never get it back.
Family and Friends
The TIME lesson makes me realized that we should not take things for granted in a relationship. We should treasure our family and good friends, as we can only spend time with them when they are still around in this world. Once they are gone, nothing we can do. Many people including myself (*guilty of it), tend to overlook or take things for granted when coming to the relationship. We are too into our career or chasing wealth and spend little time with those we love. From now on, let's treasure by put in efforts and time with those that we love.

Created specifically to hold fabric swatches in the showrooms, JEC directed ICLA to engineer and produce a 2-drawer, turned edge box to hold the total JEC collection of fabrics.
Concurrently, ICLA was tasked to produce a new complete collection of fabric cards from supplied fabric rolls. To accomplish this required trimming over a half million fabric swatches with pinked edges on all four sides and applying them to the individual swatch cards ICLA produced. With careful application to ensure equal borders, matching accuracy was also important as each card had specific fabric information on the back.
Finishing the project required careful collation of the fabrics and threading them in correct order on unique wire c-rings by group and carton packing in sets for easy insertion into the showroom drawers at a later date.

In the beginning the Internet was just an experimental network for packet transmission. It was interesting because it made possible to combine computers of different types but it did not have practical meaning thereat. Later, in 1975, the experimental network turned into an actual network. It took almost another twenty years to the World Wide Web service appeared in 1993. Then the magic began. Internet became visual, it could be seen by users with browsers. HTML-technology created a new type of documents. The first of HTML pages were very simple and they were only texts and links. But the technology developed very quickly. Images, complicated design, sound and video appeared on the computer screen. Very soon, the Sir Tim Berners-Lee's creation has learned to represent all the diversity and beauty of the contents of the World Wide Web.

Have you ever heard of Ebates? While, I hadn't heard of either until I went to another bloggers website and she mentioned. So, I decided to go visit it for myself.
It is a shopping saving account that very simply gives you back money for shopping. Most websites make money for referring you, but Ebates just shares the wealth.
All you have to do is sign up and then shop through the website. The registration is not long at all. Its not a website the needs to know everything like your mothers maiden name or do a background check on you.
Maybe the hardest part of this website is you have to shop through them to save. But Ebates thought of that, that's why they even have a "reminder tool" for that. And the perks? Well, money for shopping and referring friends, no spam, a lot of shopping options, plus you get a $10 gift card just for signing up.
So if you feel like shopping on the likes of Armani Exchange, Bluefly, Nordstrom, Shopbop, Bloomingdale's, Old Navy, Saks, Target, Zappos, and YOOX. Also, its just not clothes its anything you think of that you need. Its like a virtual walmart that a one stop shop.

Tuguegarao's hot weather coupled with its fast-paced lifestyle leaves its people hungry for a high-carb food that also makes you sweat. Note: Sweating has a cooling effect in our bodies. And what more can you think of if you want to eat this kind of food – of course, it's Pansit (also spelled as pancit) Batil Patong! The aroma itself of Tuguegarao's Pansit Batil Patong (also spelled as patung) is inviting us to try some new stores or 'panciterias' that are offering this famous dish.
So we came across Jairon's Panciteria, Kambingan, Bulalohan Atbp. – a panciteria which we haven't tried before. This panciteria is only 11 months old (during our visit). Jairon's also offers rice meals aside from the famous Pansit Batil Patong of Tuguegarao. They are offering the Ilocano delicacies like papaitan, dinakdakan, dinuguan, and a lot more.
We went there on a not so busy time and just ordered the Php 80.00 variant of the pansit and paid it right away. They gave us a number of our orders as we waited in one of their 'kubos' or bamboo shack. A few minutes later our orders arrived.
I was a bit skeptical because hubby and I agreed to divide our pansit into two. Our order is not even enough for one person! The pansit has only small portions of miki (egg noodle), and some few toppings. I did not even realize that we finished it in just about 5-10 minutes! If you're new to eating this dish, always remember that the pansit batil patong also comes with a free soup.
Jairon's version of the pansit is delicious yet something is still lacking (maybe because we did not order the most expensive one). I also don't like their serving of the PHP 80.00 pansit, I felt that it is not enough for one person especially the toppings.
If you did not have Pansit Batil Patong for so many years, I recommend that you should go to the original or pioneering panciterias like Lamud's, Jomar's, Triangle or Eva's.
Although Jairon's was a bit disappointing, this will not stop us from discovering more new panciterias in our town. I know there's a lot more out there. I hope that next time we will find the pansit that will truly satisfy us.
1. Take the tricycle and tell them Jairon's Pansitan. The driver will then take you there.
FARE: Php 10-50.00
2. If you are going via private/ own car you might want to take the way going to Camp Adduru.
Note: This post is not paid/sponsored by the management of Jairon's management and has been paid by Piggybeartravels themselves. The above posting is based on what we saw and tried by ourselves. If you have some deals just email us at firstname.lastname@example.com

Melissa was thrilled to find out that she would be having a little baby girl! Now that she has an adorable little boy and a perfect baby girl their family is complete. Melissa is an incredible photographer who I had the privilege of working with over the past three years photographing weddings. There is so much pressure photographing another photographer's family; but she knows how that feels since she (and our other dear friend, Amanda) photographed my wedding in December 2008. You can be sure that she is an awesome photographer (and great person) since I asked her to shoot my wedding. Melissa and Kyle, I couldn't be happier for you to have your precious baby girl. Landon, you will be an incredible big brother. Thank you for allowing be to be a part of your family journey. It was truly an honor. Melissa, you are gorgeous in this image below! I hope I can look as good as you only 10 days after having a baby!
Congrats again, Melissa and Kyle... you are wonderful parents and wish you all the best!

Back to the Future: Retreat to Plan the New Year
Kathy Carlton Willis is an encourager to the max! She knows how to motivate women to upgrade their lives. In this New Year's UPGRADE, she suggests we all go on a "retreat."
Kathy told me, "As a career coach I often hear the excuse, 'I'm just too busy.' I'm sorry, but I'm not buying it. Each person is given the same number of hours in the day."
I (Dawn) do think there is a "too busy" level for all of us, but I've discovered better planning, delegating, and eliminating the non-essential and what God says "has to go" suddenly can free up a lot of time I didn't know I had! So I am shouting a hearty "Amen" to Kathy's words.
Kathy continues. . .
Sure, we all have different energy levels and abilities, but I'm positive we have exactly the resources we need to fulfill the purposes God has for each of us.
The next time you're tempted to offer up the excuse, "I'm just too busy," instead I challenge you to say what is the real reason: "It's simply not a priority for me."
We get to choose what is important in our lives.
One way I adjust my priorities is to have a yearly personal retreat, either at home or a remote location.
A familiar Psalm indicates what happens during a personal retreat.
"He lets me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still and quiet waters. He refreshes and restores my soul (life); He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake" (Psalm 23: 2-3 AMP).
Here are some pointers for your retreat:
1. Start and end with God.
Put your agenda aside. Focus on His strengths and skills. Fall in love with Him again. Be wowed by His power and wisdom. Worship Him, not for what He has done for you, but for who He is.
If you find your mind trailing off, use the alphabet to stay fixed on Him. Come up with a word that describes God from every letter in the alphabet.
2. Use a variety of worship techniques.
- Walk with Him in nature.
- Take photos of His creation.
- Sing along to praise music.
- Dance to the tune.
- Draw.
- Invent your own sign-language to symbolize the lyrics.
- Personalize Scripture.
3. Get filled up.
Surrender your life to God again. 100% God and 0% you.
Once you are filled up and yielded, then you are ready to proceed.
4. Evaluate the year just ending.
- What surprised you?
- What exceeded your goals?
- What derailed or disappointed you?
- What is still left undone?
- What desires and direction did God plant in you that indicates the New Year will look different?
- What was within your control to do that you procrastinated?
- What was not within your power that changed your plans?
Give the old year to God. Leave it behind without regrets as you move into the New Year.
Clean slate: either a second chance to get your current goals accomplished or brand new goals for a brand new year.
5. Ask God to show you His plans for your New Year.
Don't merely ask Him to bless your agenda.
Be willing to follow God's lead wherever it takes you—out of your comfort zone and into the faith-zone.
People ask my secret to getting so much done, and goal-setting is the root of my productivity. It's not about success as the world sees it, or achievement. I'm focused on being and doing everything God has designed for my life.
Here's a sample template for my goal-setting session. It varies depending on the year, so feel free to alter it to fit your needs.
- My spiritual growth goals for 2017 include:
- My mental/emotional growth goals for 2017 include:
- My physical goals for 2017 include:
- I will use my ability of ______ by doing:
- I will work on a relationship with:
- Finances will improve when:
- I will read ___ books.
- To be healthier, I will:
- I have a problem procrastinating. This year I will improve in the area of:
Fill out your goal worksheet, then sign it as an indication you will give 100% to God's agenda.
Does God have a surprise for you in the New Year? Put on your eyes of faith so you can see it when it arrives.
Kathy Carlton Willis shines for God, reflecting His light as a speaker at writer's conferences and women's retreats, and as an author - contributing to three books and writing hundreds of columns and articles online and in print publications. She wrote Grin with Gracewith AMG Publishers and has several books releasing over the next few years. She and her husband Russ live in Texas with Jazzy, their hilarious Boston Terrier.

Competitive world of technology, especially in the world of gadgets are endless. With the success of Apple sells third-generation iPad and a fantastic record of success, automatically makes Android more behind in the competitive landscape. For the record, so far Android has not managed to make an impressive record related to the sale of the tablet PC.
For the record, Android is still not showing real competition in the tablet PC category. Almost all of its products have achieved success in general. Even if all the combined sales of tablet PCs, Android has not been able to match the level of sales and the popularity of the iPad.
However, it is not all Android tablet PC output failed to score a success. Some names could steal the attention of consumers. Call it the Amazon Kindle Fire and the Nook Tablet output owned by Barnes & Noble, based on open source software. The tablets are sold at prices ranging from USD169 to USD250 and earned millions of buyers. Not in the level of sales of the iPad, but they are included in the category marketable.
So it is not a surprise that Google intends to boost tablet PC sales. As reported by time.com, Google is now selling strategy a la Amazon. The magnitude of the project named "Nexus". A source android and me.com released by the site, said that Google and Asus are now working together to create an Android tablet that would be $ 150 to $ 200 price tag.
Previously, Asus has made tablet PCs powered by the quad-core processor called Asus Memo 370T. Although sold at relatively low prices, which is $ 250, but the Taiwanese company is rumored to be redesigning a tablet PC with Google. Of course with the price and lower specification.
Mentioned duet -Asus Google will not equip them with the latest tablet processor quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3. Instead, they will put the processor with dual-core specification. The news is quite disappointing the fans of Android.
I think that the specs are less important than sales figures. The company considers that a tablet PC of the brand which has been leading will have the opportunity to achieve commercial success when compared to the more expensive gadgets and supplemented by better specs. If Google wants to succeed like the Kindle Fire and the Nook, then logically, they should give you the price under $ 200 for the product.
"The consumer has been educated to understand that they have to choose between Apple, Microsoft, or Google," said Andy Rubin, head of Google's Android, as quoted Oktomagazine of theverge.com. "We will improve our performance by making consumers know which products are actually best for them."
When Google and Asus really serious, projects worth U.S. $ 150 tablet PC is not nonsense. With Google's expertise in the field of marketing, predicted that the tablet will be able to seize the market and compete with Apple. However, Jared Newman of time.com predict that they will make a profit in the short term.

We've all heard of the Second Amendment. Its reasonable, if somewhat antiquated, language states, "a well regulated Militia, being necessary…." But militias aren't relevant anymore. They once were, in the days of native raids, or as a precaution against slave revolts. But we have the National Guard now. So if it's not for hunting, and clearly not for home defense, what other need for assault rifles? The only militias today are backwoodsmen convinced of a coming showdown with the Feds – fantasy play, frankly, for stunted adults with too much income. What is the appeal of powerful weapons? Admittedly, there's something appealing in the mystique of the stoic rifleman on the edge of the frontier, carving a republic in the wilds of a new continent — but we live in the age of the interstate. Waving a gun in public doesn't make you more quintessentially American.
