Sky's The Limit Set
Love this whole activewear set but especially the leggings! They fit so nicely on my hips – I don't have to constantly pull them up! They also have stretch but no so much that you don't have structure – they make my butt look ideal!
I love the cobalt blue and the contrast between it and the black–it really makes a statement! Additionally, it's so fun how the sportsbra peeks through the top!

I have only watched 15 minutes of the 2 hour premiere so far, and the new Marvels: The Inhumans beats every other new show so far! Superb plot, great acting!
Well this surprises me! I didn't pick you for being a Marvels super hero kind of guy. Oh well, each to his own, I guess.
I never got into the Superman type of superhero much, but I quite like Arrow, Jessica Jones and The Flash.
Well, this isn't a super hero type of show starkers, so you might want to check it out.
Oh, I will! Just the title alone has peaked my interest, and I do like sci.fi kind of shows, so it is on my TV to-do list.
All I can say is wow! I expected a lot more than what I just watched. Maybe it's just me...but that was the worst acting/scripted show I ever saw. Very stiff. I saw a few images of the show before I saw it and thought it was going to be something far different. I watch all the other Marvel shows and those are much better. This is one I won't be watching.
Sorry to hear that Giz, I found it to be extremely well done.
No biggy Tom. I've got plenty to watch.
It doesn't stand out to me as either well done or poorly executed. And I think I'm going to have problems with Blackbolt going around not using his powers for the rest of the series.
I like it!
Hey Trashyman! Long time no see!!
Hey Jim
Worst Marvel thing in acting and storytelling since Iron Fist IMHO.
"piqued" .... ....
..."piqued" .... ....
Spelling is one thing, but I know what I meant.... my interest had 'peaked'.... as in I had no higher interest at that point in time.
Well that's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

Smashed Avocado Sweet Potato Toast (Vegan + Gluten Free)
We're taking your traditional avocado toast and swapping the bread out for gluten free, flavorful, nutrient-rich roasted sweet potato slices. Perfect any time of day, with any toppings, and cut to any size!
When I was younger, I ate a sweet potato every. single. day.
Now, the intricacies and implications of my disordered eating aside, there were much worse things! I was ingesting a phenomenal amount of fiber, Vitamins A and C, and had a natural orange-y glow that made me fit in on the Jersey Shore, where my family's beach house is! It was all perfect.
However, somewhere between being endlessly ridiculed for eating a whole sweet potato like an apple (LET ME LIVE) and the fact that you have to put thought and preparation into the consumption of a sweet potato (have you ever tried to eat one raw? because I... haven't... of course...), this trend fell off. And what happened?
- I lost my natural orange glow and the New Jerseyans shunned me
- My Vitamin A stores depleted
- I was EATING MORE, but still HUNGRIER
Luckily, the sweet potato has come back with a vengeance. Between swoodle salads + my recent favorite healthy Mexican breakfast that I'll be sharing with you next week, I can't get enough of the spuds!
I was thus thrilled when my Instagram feed started to fill up with Sweet Potato Toast. UM WHAT HELLO YES THERE IS A GOD. I rushed across the street to Safeway, ignored the aluminum foil aisle entirely (again) (I'm starting to run out of parchment paper) (please send help), and grabbed a couple sweet potatoes and an avocado. It was time to par-tayyyyy!
Smashed Avocado Sweet Potato Toast
To make 2 servings of toast, you will need:
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 avocado, ripe
- 1 T olive oil
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- Salt & pepper, to taste
Okay, guys - I feel like a fraud even calling this a recipe, because it's more like a method, but this is MY blog and I call the shots so recipe it is!
Preheat your oven to 400F and line 2 rimmed baking sheets with aluminum foil (I used parchment paper because, despite the fact that I live directly across from a Safeway and visit there most days of the week, I have yet to care enough to buy foil).
Wash your sweet potatoes, wrap each in a damp paper towel, and microwave them for 1 minute. This will soften them slightly and make them easier to cut.
Unwrap the sweet potatoes and cut them lengthwise (I also cut one width-wise to make little mini toasts). Line them up on the foil-lined baking sheets, brush with oil, and pop in the oven for 30 minutes. The finished sweet potatoes should be fork-tender.
In a small bowl, mash the flesh of the avocado with the lime juice, salt, and pepper. Spread over your sweet potato slices and serve!
I happened to have some ~fire~ cilantro jalapeno hummus on hand (Trader Joe's, represent!), so I opted to top one of my toast slices with the hummus, some pieces of asparagus I rescued from Chinese takeout on its last leg, and a sprinkle of pepper. Then, devour!
The intersection of happy and healthy <-- name that commercial!

Organisms attain these islands by traveling long distances across the water. Some barrier islands type when ocean present s pile up sand on sandbar s parallel to coastlines.

[FIELD NOTES] MN Bot Makers March Meetup | The Business of Chatbots
The MN Bot Makers Meetup hosted a guest speaker for their March event at Silicon Prairie Holdings in St. Paul. Kyle Coghlan of KCM Productions led a discussion titled The Business of Chatbots that focused on aspects of chatbot creation like marketing, finding clients, and building a viable business.
He began his presentation by laying out the differences between a product and a service–services might require less overhead and development costs, but they can be trickier to scale upward. They're often dependent upon third party services for operation as well. Chatbots can be sold to clients as a product or the creation of a unique bot can be viewed as a service through a consultant-client style relationship.
When meeting with a client in need of a bot, Coghlan stressed the importance of listening. "Use open-ended questions to find the pain points of your customers. Talk twenty percent of the time and listen eighty," said Coghlan. He framed the term "chatbot" as more of a "virtual concierge," a term he coined when working with a hotel that needed exactly that.
Coghlan then focused the conversation on money. Payment structures for bespoke chatbots vary widely: upfront pay per service models, monthly retainers and selling a bot template are all viable methods of monetization in the chatbot space. "Don't make the mistake of focusing on the features of your chatbot," the developer warned. "Your client only wants to know how your bot will save them money."
To market chatbots effectively, Coghlan recommends LinkedIn as a platform for demonstrating expertise. "Connect with decision makers without being pushy," he remarked. His advice is to seek out potential clients, invite them to connect on LinkedIn, and continue pushing content that showcases expertise. He summed up this process by saying, "give as much as you can and you'll get back just as much."
When meeting with a potential client, Koghlan stresses the importance of speaking their language. "Don't confuse the customer–use automated phone systems as an easy analogy. The best way to explain a chatbot isn't to explain it at all. Just put the phone in their hand and let them try it!" he remarked.
The MN Bot Makers Meetup takes place on the fourth Tuesday of every month, next up is April 24: Chatbots in the post-Cambridge Analytica World.

Going beyond EgoPosted by in Personal Development
Experience the wonderful freedom that comes when we go beyond our sense of self
As you read this blog I am already half way through my 3-month mindfulness and meditation retreat (5 April – 5 July) in the Spanish mountains, south-west of Barcelona (see my previous blogs on Taking time out and Facing your fears ).
One of the major themes of this retreat is going beyond ego, letting go of our sense of self.
From an evolutionary point of view, the ego helped us to survive. It's the part in us that makes sure we are safe and secure. But does it make us happy – this idea that there is a fixed self (when really there isn't)?
When things don't go the way we want them to go, when someone criticises or doesn't agree with us, our ego, our sense of self, who we are and who we are not feels easily threatened and off kilter. This in turn can have a dramatic and sometimes detrimental effect on how we experience our day-to-day life. It can put us on a roller-coaster of highs and lows when, what we really want is freedom.
Freedom comes when we learn to loosen the grip of needing things, ourselves, others and life to be a certain way – when we let go of our ego.
Freedom comes when we learn to relax and accept that everything changes all of the time, that life is a mystery to enjoy with an open heart. In letting go of our armour of ego-protection we can learn to connect to that which we know at a deeper level which is that we are all (humans and all living things alike) interconnected and part of a bigger web of life.
Once we begin to sense our place in the wider web of life, when we connect with our common humanity, we can begin to feel less separate and more connected, we can begin to feel less threatened and more resilient in the face of adversity.
Being on a long retreat with others creates conducive conditions to look at my habitual ways of defending myself because it cuts away the layers of day-to-day. Moments when I can catch myself needing things to be 'my way' are opportunities to let go of ego, to go beyond preference. It's the place where there is no pulling or pushing, no inner battle of wanting or not wanting, liking or disliking, threat or grasping.
But we don't have to go on a long retreat to practice letting go of ego. We can practice it with colleagues, at home with our partner and children, we can practice it with friends.
For example, as a child, growing up with my single parent mother, I was asked from a young age to help with running the household. To please my mother, I did a lot of cleaning and tidying – not a bad thing in itself, but it created a habit that kept me safe and formed the belief: "If I make sure that everything gets done in the house, my mother will be okay and love me."
As you can imagine, as a result, I have a certain idea about how things should be done around the house. When this doesn't happen, I can feel tight and uncomfortable, even threatened and unsafe. So here on retreat – with 25 others – there is plenty of opportunity for me to let go of having it my way and to relax into 'what is' and feel okay.
At work, home, with friends, notice moments of discomfort inside when things are not how you want them to be, when you don't like something / someone, when you might even feel disgust. Take a breath, feel what you feel. This is a choice point, the gap in which you can go beyond ego and take a broader perspective; expand your awareness of the wider situation and of what might be going on for the other.
While I am away, you will hear one more blog, reflecting once again on another key theme of my retreat. Next month the theme will be simplicity. I wrote these blogs in the run up of my departure and my colleague Claire will be sharing them with you. So, watch this space!
Mental Health Awareness Week – Stress: are we coping?
And finally, next week is Mental Health Awareness Week with a focus on Stress – are we coping?
Stress is such a key factor in our mental well-being. By tackling stress, we can go a long way in dealing with mental health problems such as anxiety and depression. During the week, they will be publishing the results of the largest and most comprehensive survey on stress in the UK. I am particularly interested in the concept of Stress Footprint – the second-hand stress others unknowingly pick up from you, and you unknowingly pick up from others. As the website explores, we are social and empathetic creatures and we often feel and mimic the emotions of those we're around, such as tension and anxiety caused by feelings of stress.
On the theme of stress, do revisit my Stress First Aid Kit and blog Taking Control of How We React To Stress.
And as always, if you'd like to book a free 30-minute coaching while walking taster session, drop me a line and Claire will book your appointment for my return in July.
Warm wishes,

National framework needed for school closures
Media Release
National framework needed for growing
number of school closures -- NZSTA
Communities need to face up to the reality that over the next 20 years some of their schools will be closed or merged or take new forms due to predicted population decline, says New Zealand School Trustees Association President Chris France.
And he is calling for a national framework to ensure schools receive the guidance they need to deal with this reality.
Chris France made his comments during NZSTA's annual conference being held in Invercargill from July 5 to 8. About 400 delegates from throughout the country are attending the annual conference.
He says over the next 20 years many regions will face population decline and as a result will see a drop in school rolls and the need to close, merge or reorganise more schools. Communities and boards of trustees working together will more likely achieve a more acceptable solution for their communities
Chris France says that a broad template for handling these situations is lacking and this can pose risks to board in attempting to deal with the process of rationalisation.
He says his observation of some reorganisation of schools around the country has been distressing as there isn't simple, good process to follow.
"Some of the processes I observed were appalling. This was because at the end of the day all these events must be handled by people, and if they have no national framework of broad guidance to operate within then individual personal judgements may drive the changes.
"And that is what I observed. People feeling left alone to make huge decisions, money being offered that changed in amount from week to week, no minutes of important meetings kept so everyone had the same understanding and so on.... really simple stuff."
He says one of the priorities for NZSTA is to ensure that there is a broad national framework in place to guide communities through what is often an emotion-filled and traumatic process

After 14 years working for other people I decided it was time to step out on my own and build a business that focussed on my specific areas of expertise. I was fortunate to find a group of talented (and fun) people to work with that share my vision and deliver great results for our clients.
I have unique experience in multi-unit residential builds as a result of my time at Woodhead in Australia. I believe that New Zealand's market it still relatively immature. As our population grows we need to intensify our housing solutions. But we need to do it in a way that fosters communities, creates safe and healthy living environments and enables people to thrive.
Having said that, my passion and expertise is not limited to multi-unit solutions. I love to work on stand-alone houses, commercial and hospitality solutions. I'm excited about exploring and balancing the cross-overs between how we live, work and play.
ADVICE: No spuds without digging.

We finally sauntered our way down to Xujiahui to try out Bistrow, and we definitely liked what we saw. Located where a Chatea formerly leaned against the Grand Gateway mall, Bistrow is the first of two (so far) of these upscaled Wagas offshoots. We started off light with the mixed starter plate (58 RMB), finding the hummus a little too sharp but the chickpea salsa and beetroot tzatziki to be clever and tasty teasers. The chorizo in our penne dish had a nice kick (68 RMB), but the star was the chicken tikka wrap (58 RMB), crammed with tangy mango chutney and thin slices of cucumber.
The restaurant is split right down the middle, with one section for diners and the other for the casual cake/coffee/computer set. After a quick turn around the mall we returned for some iced coffees, which at 34-40 RMB are priced at the higher end for Shanghai cafes. We took a look at the dinner menu to check on prices, with the mains priced from 85-118 RMB.
The Wagas group is part of a small handful of homegrown operations that have figured out the successful combination of atmosphere and food that have allowed them to expand locations and define their unique brands. Bistrow is an addition of which they can be proud. Next time we decide to hit up the mosh pit that is Xujiahui we'll know where to go for a nice, comfortable break.
Bistrow – 151-153A Grand Gateway Mall, No. 1 Hongqiao Lu, near Huaihai Lu (虹桥路1号151-153铺1楼, 近淮海路) Tel: 6448-2852, Hours: 7:30am-10:30pm

Question: I'm a stay-at-home mom. My two children are 5 and 3 years old, so I haven't been able to make money for the past few years. Meanwhile, my husband has purchased most of what we own. Now that we are getting a divorce, do I get half of it? Will he get to keep everything, including the house?
Answer: Parents who sacrifice their career to take care of their home and children do not need to worry that they will be left with nothing. Maryland follows "equitable distribution" of assets in divorce, which means that couples don't split everything in half. Instead, a court will help decide what each person should receive.
If the house is in both of your names, even if your spouse pays the bills, you might end up keeping it. As the parent who handles most of your child's upbringing and daily care, you could have a higher claim on the property.
However, to keep the house, you might have to give up other marital assets to keep the division fair. This can be difficult for mothers who have been out of the workforce and may not have as much savings, but your labor in the home can still be a powerful factor in your favor.
In an amicable divorce, you may decide to keep property division between the two of you instead of involving a court. In this case, you would write an agreement that states how you plan to split assets and present it in court. Both of you would have to consent to the terms for the agreement to be accepted. This could let you keep assets that help you raise your children while your husband keeps assets that help his career, for example.
On the other hand, it's possible that your husband wants to fight for the largest portion of property he can get. This is when you would want experienced legal representation to make sure the asset distribution remains fair to you.

Things are beginning to burst through. Bulbs, leaves, flowers all beginning to surface. Soon there will be a faint green mist on the trees and slowly that mist will turn into the summer mantel. Natures rhythm never fails to impress. March will bring the first signs of abundance by way of Nettles and Wild Garlic.
This simple Spring soup is a fantastically tasty way of including that vibrant green energy in our diet.
What you will need.
4 floury potatoes cut into cubes,
Butter or oil for frying
Two handfuls of Wild Spring Greens (Chickweed, Nettles, Ground Alder, Wild Garlic)
2 medium sized Onions
Pint and a half of veg stock.
Melt butter in a frying pan. Fry onions until nice and opaque then add the spuds. Add the stock and allow to cook for 30 to 40 mins.
Throw in about two hand full's of greens at the very end, stir through and let cook for a further 2 or 3 minutes. Just be careful at this stage as the greens can go from wilted to soggy very quickly so do keep an eye.

What I Learned This Week
Polanco, Animoto and Geogebra
BASEBALL Placido Polanco has an OPS of around 729 and is worth about three wins above replacement primarily because of his defense. If the Tigers are really playing for 2011 when a number of contracts (Willis, Robertson, Ordonez) come off the books it might be better not to offer Polanco arbitration. This would allow Scott […]More

In order to know more about the business, you have to follow the reviews by the previous customers other than following the advertisements it does on the media. Some strategies that are used by a business tell you more about its working then the advertisement. The strategies that are used by a business help it in the long term. There is some combination of a strategy which comes into decision making process. The shorter the process of decision making, the quicker decisions will be made. Decision have to be made very carefully as they are the reason why business is successful in the future. The customers will only use a business if they get proper facilities from the products and the product solves the purpose of purchase.
A business has to be trustworthy so that the customers rely upon the products it sells. The trustworthiness of a business can only be judged if the products are useful. Products are manufactured by a business according to the customer only if they conduct a proper market research before manufacturing and if they conduct a feedback of the products they have already sold. In order to conduct the market research and get the feedback, there has to be a proper communication with the customer on a regular basis and proper platform has to be given to them so that they can communicate their taste and preferences to the business. One of the most useful tools that you can use to strengthen the communication system of a business is using a virtual telephone system and eVoice. The virtual telephone system means existence of the phone number that is of a virtual nature. That means calling a number and the transfer of that call to the receiver's number according to his convenience. A customer can only be satisfied if he has a proper space to share his thoughts about the product.
There is always scope for improvement for a business in every area it works on. The main objective of the business is to satisfy its customers. The advantages of a virtual phone number are immense. It is not only for the business but also for the customer. Other stakeholders of a company can also make use of the virtual phone number to communicate effectively including shareholders, debtors and creditors etc. It is always better to call a toll free number for the customer to contact the business rather than calling an international number and getting that level of service from them. A customer gets a feeling of contacting a local company when it comes to obtaining the products and services of International standards. The business owner can personally take some important calls as there are some calls which are more important than the others. Fake callers can be easily distinguished from the important callers as the customers have to do a self service in order to get to the place they want to be.

Two of the gardeners rushed to get this new planting of Astelias chathamica 'Silver Spear'covered by fleece before the snow arrived.
We have done a lot of seed sowing in the greenhouse of pollinator friendly plants such as Ragged Robin (Lychnis flos-cuculi) for our damp areas, and Giant Hyssop (Agastache Lavender Blue) for a sunny well-drained spot.
Ragged Robin Agastache Lavender Blue
The birds should be starting to pair off now that the snow has gone. We often hear the repeating call of song thrushes from the Jubilee Gardens.
Their numbers are in decline, especially on farmland. This has meant that they are on the Red List: red is the highest conservation priority, with species needing urgent action. Other birds on the Red List are starlings, house sparrows and mistle thrushes. A downloadable list of all the birds on the Red List can be found on the British Trust for Ornithology website.
To help such birds, the RSPB's conservation scientists have recommended that we consider wildlife-friendly gardening to create better habitats for wildlife. Key actions are planting berrying shrubs, creating a pond and planting pollen rich flowers.
One of the gardeners saw a large flock of fieldfares on a berberis hedge in her garden in Wokingham on the 1st March. The snow had made the desperate birds come in from the countryside, and for the first time people in Wokingham and Basingstoke reported seeing them in their gardens.
Another way to help is to join our gardener from Basingstoke in the monitoring scheme Garden Birdwatch with the BTO: https://www.bto.org/volunteer-surveys/gbw. In this scheme garden owners record birds, mammals, insects and amphibians seen in their gardens, either online or by filling in paper records.
The Pond
Not much life to be seen on our ponds at Beale as spring arrives.
However, in March as it gets warmer, in our garden ponds without fish we will probably see the jelly-like clumps of frogspawn. Shelter can be created for the emerging froglets by putting plants such as ornamental grasses into those damp areas near the pond edge.
Carex elata 'Aurea' is suitable for part shade by a pond. The only maintenance is to rake through it in spring removing the old leaves.
Shelter whilst they are in the pond could also be made by planting marginal plants such as Myosotis scorpioides (water forget –me- not) and Veronica beccabunga (brooklime)
Water forget-me-not Brooklime

Are you tired of being deceived by fake product reviews? Well, you are not alone in that situation, as many businesses hire others to write false testimonies for them. Protect yourself by checking out these sites to find a trustworthy review.
Check Multiple Online Review Sites
You may wonder why you should check these sites when there are many false reviews. Well, the key word here is "multiple," which means you will be comparing various reviews among different websites. After gathering sufficient data, you form an estimate the true value of a product. Of course, this task is somewhat tedious, but at least you can avoid purchasing regrettably. A few reliable sites you can begin with are here:
Yelp is everyone's go-to if they wish to check out reliable information about almost anything related to consumers. Now, you would want to look for online businesses and sellers who have the quality products you intend to purchase. In case you are unfamiliar with the site, there are about 9 million reviewers that are valid consumers. In fact, these people are too honest that Yelp used to receive complaints from businesses in the past, for hurting their reputation. If you want brutal honesty, there is no other site as reliable as Yelp.
Consumer Reports
Consumer Reports have multiple people rating products, and reviews tend to be less extreme. Furthermore, they have buying guides that break down various aspects of a product, so you may want to read those. Overall, they seem objectively legit when t comes to judging consumer products.
Epic Reviews
Although less popular, Epic Reviews does have quite the objective product reviews. They are quite honest in revealing flaws if a product is not as good as it seems. Anyway, available review articles are limited, so you may wish to check out other sites.
Other Sites
There are other sites, such as cnet.com, 1review.net, and so on. To be honest, it is best if you use your critical thinking to determine whether a review is legit. Also, it helps if you read multiple reviews from various sources, to avoid falling for either biased or fake reviews. Lastly, drop by at http://www.selectedbest.info/ as they have honest testimonies.
It takes a lot of research to find trustworthy product reviews. Even if you have found a reliable site, it is also helpful if you use your judgment for making decisions. After all, you would want to avoid purchases that you will regret.

Right now, there's rarely a winter runway show or collection that doesn't feature it. In fact, we have found countless designers showcasing whole collections in vibrant red. So why is red so big? Do we subconsciously see this electrifying color as a way of sounding an alarm? Might it be a simple case of just wanting to get into the festive swing? Or is feminism playing a role? Is fashion using this arresting color to reflect the importance of the issues we're currently facing? In the West, the color has long been associated with strength, both on and off the runway—there's certainly no doubt that a woman in red is imposing. This may be a way of projecting a don't-mess-with-me confidence, a rejection of "Lolita" look. Plus, of course, it's a color that is never out of fashion. So look out for women dominating the streets in fierce red this winter.
Credits (left to right, from the top):
Embellished Mickey Mouse sweater by Marc Jacobs; Saturday beanie by Alberta Ferretti; red acetate shades by Pawaka; lace blouse by Balenciaga; Dancing Queenearrings by Erickson Beamon; PS1 bag by Proenza Schouler; knee-high boots from Isabel Marant; flared pants by Givenchy; Humorist Wow keyholder/bag charm from Swarovski; crystal-embellished ballerinas from Miu Miu; Rouge Ecstasy lipstick by Giorgio Armani; velvet dress by Alexa Chung; V bracelet from Versace with crystals from Swarovski; velvet Pussycat clutch by Charlotte Olympia; Baronessa cocktail ring from Rosantica. Runway looks (from the left): Balenciaga; Victoria Beckham; Fendi; Max Mara.
No one does fire red quite like Givenchy. It can be credited to the iconic creative direction of Riccardo Tisci, who left the brand this year. He was inspired by the dresses, pants, shoes, tops, jackets and all things red in the brand's archives. Suits and outerwear also come in red this season—see the waisted Fendi coat and the down jacket by Balenciaga (Balenciaga's creative director, Demna Gvasalia, has made puffer jackets cool again), or cozy up in one of Max Mara's coats, which are plush, floor length, and of course, red.
But we're not talking only red-red—designers are exploring all its nuances: purple, carmine, cherry, brick, cardinal, burgundy and maroon. However, as opposed to designers such as Jil Sander, Givenchy and Chloé who are sticking to bright red, Fendi has instead chosen a deeper, more intimate tone. The color is not as alarming, yet it makes an equally successful statement, and can be combined easily with other fiery hues. This is another big trend that we can see at Paul & Joe, Victoria Beckham, Roksanda, and many more, who match up signal red with burgundy. Whether light or dark, glossy or matt, silk or knit-blend, combining tones is expressly permitted. You can put on monochrome looks in crimson from head to toe or you can go for a single turtleneck shirt, midi skirt, cigarette pants or thick cord culottes to follow the trend and feel the energy that red exudes.
Red is a main component not just in dresses, but in accessories as well. Choose from a wide range of shoes, such as boots (see Isabel Marant) or ballerinas, embellished flats (such as the ones by Miu Miu) or heels, as well as bags of every type, from clutches to totes, all in the signal color. Of course, lipsticks must be red this season too, no matter whether you prefer a light or a dark hue—when it makes a contrast with your clothes, even better! To round off your reddish wardrobe and finally get into the season's festive mood, don't forget the jewels that will enhance the show-stopping character of red—make sure they are lavish, bold, and sparkling. Go for a lush crystal collier or a chunky bracelet (such as the one from Versace), a glamorous cocktail ring (see the Baronessaring by Rosantica) or pearls for a sophisticated understatement.

'Scream' TV Series Season 2 Spoilers: What Happened In Episode 3? The Brandon James Killer Strikes Again [RECAP]
Another day ... another body. The small town of Lakewood can't seem to escape the bloodshed in Season 2 of MTV's "Scream" Series.
Episode 3, titled "Vacancy," kicks off with Audrey (Bex Taylor-Klaus) receiving a phone call from the killer after finding Jake's (Tom Maden) body in the Crescent Palms motel storage locker. She's horrified that this mysterious maniac would kill Jake, and, unfortunately, there is nothing that she can do to make sure that Jake's body gets found by the police. She certainly can't call the police, especially with the note directed toward her tacked to his body: "See how I finished the job for you, Audrey?"
With no other options, Audrey's forced to leave his decaying body in the storage locker. But will it stay in there? That's the question when Audrey heads back to the locker in the morning with Noah (John Karna). Noah is certain he'll find some clues about Piper's (Amelia Rose Blaire) accomplice inside, and that's something that worries Audrey. She winces as he opens the unlocked door, but Jake's body is gone. A couple of pieces of old furniture are the only things sitting in the storage locker, leading Noah to believe that the motel clerk was playing him. However, a surveillance camera installed inside the locker gives him some hope. He steals it hoping he'll be able to see if anyone else broke in to search for clues before him.
As Audrey panics over what Noah may find on the camera, Emma (Willa Fitzgerald) goes to meet her estranged father. Her mom, Maggie (Tracy Middendorf), wasn't happy that she was meeting him for breakfast, and Audrey even warned her to be careful. Despite the concern, Emma is hopeful that her dad may shed some light on why he abandoned her so many years ago.
Unfortunately, she doesn't get the answers she's looking for. Although he does apologize for leaving, and says he wanted to come back, he can't explain why he left her in the first place.
Elsewhere, Brooke (Carlson Young) is dealing with her own problems while at the Lakewood Pageant rehearsal. It may be a great opportunity to get a scholarship and give back to the community, but Brooke is more worried about getting in touch with Jake. Zoe (Kiana Ledé) tries to help her get her mind off of her MIA ex, but Brooke spots Stavo (Santiago Segura) in the auditorium. She thinks the Sheriff's son is stalking her — and he very well may be. He continues to ask about Jake, further frustrating the blond beauty.
Stavo seems to have a weird obsession with Brooke and Jake. Could he be the new Brandon James killer? That's the last thing on Audrey's mind as she watches Noah hook the surveillance camera up to his computer. He's in the process of getting access to the file when Audrey decides to make a bold move. She grabs a heavy bookend and is ready to knock Noah out with it when a window pops up that says "no media detected." Audrey dodged a bullet — for now at least.
"Don't worry, partner," her mysterious stalker texts, including a photo of Jake's mangled body. "I covered for you."
Things aren't going any better at Emma's house. Maggie goes to the door only to discover that her ex-husband is there to see her. He explains that Riley (Brianne Tju), Emma's friend, has been emailing him with concerns about his daughter. But Maggie says that's not possible. Piper murdered Riley months ago. The estranged couple goes to see Sheriff Miguel (Anthony Ruivivar), who has a history with them. He was one of the teens that went to high school with Brandon James 20 years ago, and seemingly used to be friends with Maggie's ex. He thinks the emails are just a case of stolen identity, but Maggie encourages him to further investigate based on the history the town has.
Too many coincidences are happening, from Riley's emails to the arrival of Emma's dad. Another shady coincidence is the return of Mr. Branson (Bobby Campo). He calls Brooke from an unknown number, citing Shakespeare and telling her that he knows she split from Jake. This infuriates Brooke, who tells her twisted former teacher to get a hint and stop calling her.
With all the chaos happening in town, Emma is just trying to find a little bit of peace. She receives a message from her dad saying he has an answer for her and can be found at the Crescent Palms motel. Desperate for answers, Emma decides to give her dad another chance. But is the message truly from him?
Before Emma can head to the motel, the front desk clerk goes to her father's room to deliver a bottle of wine and a cork screw. The door is propped open, so the clerk enters. Once inside he discovers the light switch isn't working and everything is covered in plastic. As he approaches the bathroom door, the Brandon James killer emerges from behind him. He takes the bottle of wine and knocks the front desk clerk over the head. Still conscious, the clerk attempts to call for help. But unfortunately for him, no one can hear him. The killer uses the corkscrew to repeatedly stab him in the back before finally jabbing it through his neck.
Emma arrives at the motel shortly after and finds no one at the front desk. Meanwhile, Audrey gets another message from the killer, telling her to go to the Crescent Palms motel or the video of her with Jake's body will be released. Although she was supposed to meet Noah at the movies, she hops in her car to head to the motel.
Discovering her father's name in the motel log, Emma goes up to his room. Just like the clerk before her, she finds the door propped open. The room is clean when she enters, but newspaper clippings about her and the recent murders are strewn across the dresser.
Elsewhere, Noah is waiting for his friend when he's approached by Stavo, who tells Noah that he likes his podcast, but one thing is bothering him. What is Noah going to do if and when he discovers who Piper's accomplice is? He warns Noah he may get hurt ... or worse. The two are interrupted by the arrival of Brooke and Zoe. Brooke planned the whole night as a way to set up Noah and Zoe on a date. And needless to say, she's not happy to see Stavo. But Stavo does come in handy when Brooke runs into Mr. Branson inside. Branson claims it's a complete coincidence that they are at the same place, but Brooke doesn't see it that way. She truly believes that her former teacher/lover is stalking her.
"You never gave me a chance to explain," Branson argues, adding that he still cares about her.
Brooke returns to her friends, and Noah takes a verbal swing at Branson, asking his old teacher if there are any new "missing girls" to report. Brooke chimes in and says she's there with her new boyfriend, Stavo. Branson doesn't believe her, so Stavo grabs Brooke and gives her a kiss. The group decides to leave rather than sit through a movie with Branson lurking a few rows back, but before they do so, Branson tells Brooke that she's "changed." He says she never even said "thank you" for the flowers he left her. That makes Brooke turn around. She thought it was Jake who left the red roses on her car the week before, not Branson. She sends Jake a text, calling him out for taking credit for the flowers and telling him their relationship is over. Jake responds by saying "hasta la vista."
Back at the hotel, Emma is still trying to figure out why her dad would have those newspaper clippings. Meanwhile, the killer calls Audrey from the bathroom and reveals that Emma is in the room. Audrey tries to call Emma's phone to warn her to leave, but Emma ignores the call. This forces Audrey to call the police, sending them to the Crescent Palms motel. Emma is about to walk into the bathroom, where the killer and the motel clerk's body are, when she's distracted by a fight outside. She leaves and discovers her dad is drunk and fighting at the bar next door.
Emma is horrified to see her dad in this state, and breaks up the fight. It's only then that her dad reveals the truth. He never cut out those newspaper clippings, and he never left her a message. In fact, he was checked out of the Crescent Palms motel and had all of his belongings in the car. He was ready to leave again without giving Emma any of the answers she needed. But her dad had a good reason. He finally confesses he has a drinking problem, and it got so bad when Emma was younger that he actually attacked her mother.
When Emma was younger he tried to put her in his car after he'd had a little too much to drink. Maggie tried to remove Emma from the car, which is when her dad lost control. He fractured Maggie's jaw. Maggie never told Emma the truth in order to allow her to remember her father in a better light.
Emma's shocked at this reveal, but doesn't have much time to process it. The police and Audrey arrive, and Audrey tries to cover her tracks. She tells the police she called because she thought Emma was in danger. She says she didn't realize it was her father fighting.
The two teens part ways, but there are consequences for Audrey calling the police. The Brandon James killer texts her and tells her to look under her seat. Audrey feels around and pulls out the bloody corkscrew that the killer used to murder the clerk.
"You shouldn't have called the police," the killer texts, along with a photo of the body. "Gotcha."

Simple Solutions To Fixing Cat Scratches In Leather.
Need help with restoring your leather? – Call For Help 03333 448 418
Before After
Cats can create two different types of cat scratches on leather.
The first is where the cat scratches the leather by plucking out the fibres from the leather substrate creating little pull ups of loose leather, these will stand proud of the leather surface and feel rather rough.
The second is where the cat will scratch the leather causing a more straight line scratch, without puncturing the surface at all
Repairing damaged leather where cats have scratched the surface or created small pucks is possible if you are looking for a permanent repair NEVER use our colouring enhancer balm to carry out this job.
Items you will require – need help just call us 03333 448 418
Small Leather Repair Kit (depending on the area you may need a bigger kit)
Heavy Filler (this can be a coloured filler or just white)
Prepare The Area
Preparation is key with any job you are carrying out, you don't need to clean the leather first with the Leather Cleaner that's a waste of products and your money.
Using the Leather Prep supplied in the DIY Leather Repair Kit, use the reds abrasive pad on this but soak the leather prep into a cloth, placing the cloth on the red pad and fold this over and use the prep this way to remove as much surface colour as possible, once you have removed some surface colour allowing your prepared area to be absorbent again, you can go to the next process of fixing all cat scratches and pucks, see below loose fibres.
Dealing With Loose fibres – need help just call us 03333 448 418
All loose fibres can be repaired NEVER trim these off, the internet has a great deal of wrong information, NEVER trim them off. When carrying out repairs to any type cat scratch, you don't want to create further problems, you want to simply fix the problem you have.
The next stage is to use a spatula, and drag this over the surface of the leather slowly against the pucks and scratches lifting them up into the air, once you have pulled them all up so they are standing proud, next using your leather glue kit gently apply glue to the full surface wiping it into the pucks in the same direction you just made them all stand up, once you have applied enough glue, you can then start the next process.
Using the spatula again, this time going in the opposite direction, pushing all fibres back down into the original position them came from, this is not only a much better and stronger repair, it's also much easier to repair cat scratches this way than by cutting off loose ends and creating holes.
Sanding Down The Area
Once the leather glue has cured which should not take too long about 2o minutes, you can then proceed to sanding down the area with either 320 grit paper or 1200 grit sand paper.
You don't need to sand a great deal just enough to make the rough feeling surface feel a little smoother, as you will be applying Heavy Filler next and then sanding that down once cured fully to make the repair perfect.
Heavy Filler Application
Now that you have carried out the sanding process above you are ready for the heavy filler application.
You can use the standard made white Heavy Filler if you wish or you can use a Coloured Heavy Filler, using a spatula gently wipe this into the surface making sure it's getting deep down I n to any small areas / cracks that appear in the leather around the pucks that the cats have made when they scratched the leather originally.
After applying the filler, it should be sanded down, this time using 1200 grit sandpaper to smooth out any rough areas / edges.
Getting Ready To Apply Colour – need help just call us 03333 448 418
This is the stage where the repair comes alive and those nasty cat scratches are gone.
First of all check the area for dust and remove any particles of dust you can see to ensure a smooth finish.
The first coat of colour you apply has to be wiped on in a circular motion making sure this soaks back into the leather giving you great adhesion.
The next stage is to sponge on a good even coating of colour to the surface, this provides for a better repair in the long run, The beauty of the products from the Leather Repair Company is they are designed to be used by the DIY person in mind but yet providing the finest professional results in the industry.
You can speed up the drying process by using a hair dryer to dry the painted surface, this will allow you to apply second coating rather quickly.
Before going to the next step, check the colour to make sure its fully covered, if you wish to apply a third coating you can do.
If you are happy with the colour at this stage, give this a very light sanding with 1200 grit sand paper.
Putting On The Sealers
The sealers lock in the colour and give it even better protection than before, the leather colour's are self-sealing, but the clear coat sealers will provide even better protection.
Lightly and evenly apply one coat at a time, with clear coat sealers its best to apply two moats three maximum, if you do apply three coatings, then before apply the third coat very gently sand over the clear coat sealer with 1200 grit paper to remove any dust or small bits of debris in the surface, if you are just putting on the two coats then do this after the first coat.
Each coating you apply can be dried with a hair dryer to speed up the process.
Take a look at this video to help with clear coat sealer applications.
Keeping Your Leather Protected
To make sure your leather is always in the best condition, use a protection cream every three months minimum, this will help to keep the leather soft and supple and help prevent it drying out.
If you have any questions about cat scratches or don't want to undertake this simple to follow step yourself then please do drop us a line firstname.lastname@example.com

The Friday Five – Five Signs That Cliff is Back from Afghanistan
It's common knowledge among our longtime followers and 18 facebook likers that one of the most beloved PO Life contributors, Cliff, has been deployed since February. From February up until now, everyone at The PO Life has lived a life of normalcy. But that's all about to change. At time of print, Cliff was safely en route back to America, finishing his second and final tour of duty in Afghanistan.
For better or worse, having Cliff back stateside is sure to usher in a wave of changes. In this week's edition of The Friday Five, we're highlighting the Five Signs That Cliff is Back from Afghanistan, penned in a team effort by those that know him best: the writing staff of The PO Life.
Welcome back Cliff… I guess.
1) Eli's Mom Has an Extra Mouth to Feed – by Eli and McCannon
Eli – I am one of four so my mother has been cooking large meals for my whole life. She's a solid cook who loves little more than feeding groups of ravenous mouths. For years our house was a spot where the neighborhood kids could go to get stuffed. Alan and Rudy are regulars at our Thanksgiving meals. McCannon has made his way over for the only meal he eats (pizza). Easily the most overfed of my friends, however, was Cliff. Pretty much any time we would hang out he would ask what leftovers were hanging out in our family fridge or what my mom was cooking for dinner. He would pop over to the house, suck up to my mother*, and proceed to demolish the Costco-sized portions that were placed in front of him. Now that my parents are empty nesters, my mother is stuck cooking meals for two. Once Cliff is back, she can start cooking for six again. Her and my dad will each eat one portion, Cliff can eat four.
*Nobody sucks up to parents like Cliff. I like to think I'm pretty good at kissing ass (especially to moms), Cliff blows me out of the water. He is like some sort of ass-kissing sherpa. No parent has ever met Cliff and not loved him. He's polite, well spoken, and complimentary. He will make himself at home but will let you know at the same time how appreciative he feels to be so welcomed. He's an artist. It's really something to watch.
McCannon – A long-winded anecdote about Cliff:
My grandfather passed away a few years ago and left each one of his grandchildren a package. In mine was a cigar, a small bottle of scotch, and two pieces of paper. One said this:
I leave you three things that I greatly treasured in my lifetime. In this order: a genuine Cuban cigar, Scotch from the peat fires of Edinburgh, and the recipe for your grandmother's peach cobbler (a national treasure). I want you to wait for a cool day this Autumn and follow the recipe (it is very detailed, as I am sure you do not have much experience in the kitchen). While the cobbler is baking, go outside and enjoy the cigar and scotch. Never forget the finer things in life — when you find yourself without time for such things, you will find yourself unhappy.
– Your loving Grandfather
The other piece of paper, of course, had my grandmother's national treasure of a recipe on it. I kept my Grandfather's package under my bed until a particularly comfortable and lazy autumn day arrived. I collected all the necessary ingredients, laid the cigar next to a glass of Edinburgh's finest scotch outside on the patio furniture, and took to the kitchen. I'm not much of a cook, but my Grandfather hadn't lied and the recipe was very easy to follow. I popped the cobbler in the oven and moseyed outside to enjoy the finer things in life.
Half a cigar and a full glass of scotch later, I headed back in to pull out the cobbler. The smell had taken over the house and was absolutely heavenly. The crust had broken in a couple spots and the shape wasn't perfect, but all in all I was pretty happy with it. The recipe was very specific about letting the cobbler rest and cool for a while, so I slipped back outside to finish my cigar. I relaxed, polished off the amazing cigar, and prepared to devour my grandfather's (and my) favorite dessert.
As the back door closed behind me, I noticed the front one had been left slightly askew. I was so relaxed, in a sort of zen-like, spiritually-connecting-with-my-dead-Grandpa sort of way, my Cliff Mooching Defenses had been completely lowered. I took the steps two at time to find a drunken Cliff laying slackjawed on the couch, face and shirt covered in peach cobbler, staring at the ceiling with the vacant, utterly satisfied look you only find on someone who just housed an entire peach cobbler after double fisting 40's. I wasn't even mad — how could I be?
I just shrugged to the heavens and muttered, "Sorry, old man. Maybe next week."
Cliff rolled over, crumbs peppered the floor next to the couch, "Hey dude."
This story is completely and utterly made up. I have no specific examples of Cliff being a giant mooch, just know that the dude is a future-Hall-of-Famer moocher.
2) The Return of Dudes. Night. Out. and Just Do It July – by Rudy – A wise man once said: "Some people have a hard time explaining Dude's Night Out. I don't think anyone can really explain Dude's Night Out. Maybe DJ Pauly D, but that's okay. Dude's Night Out is a lifestyle and a way of thinking… and it's not about money and popularity. Although, some money would be nice. But it's a voice that says, "Here I am… and fuck you if you can't understand me." And one of these people is gonna save the world. And that means that Dude's Night Out can save the world… all of us together. And the chicks are great. But what it all comes down to is that thing. The indefinable thing when people catch a Dude's Night Out."
Cliff is a champion of Dude's Night Out (DNO). As the proverbial bachelor since returning from his first deployment and finding out that his girlfriend at the time was a cheating whore while he was fighting for freedom, Cliff is a modern day Simon Bolivar. His cause? Liberating his off-the-market friends from the clutches of Friday nights spent perusing Pintrest and winding down with a bottle of white wine with the wifey. His weapon of choice? 151 shots. The outcome? See #3.
DNOs are really a subset of a larger, more notable event known as Just Do It July. Cultivated in 2011, Just Do It July is a 31 day spectacle of self-indulgence. A 744 hour period where the Geneva Convention holds no jurisdiction. A 44,640 minute morality malaise. The 2011 session was so physically, mentally, and financially taxing that the 2012 celebration was canceled. Going forward, plans are to align the celebration with years in which the President's Cup is held, meaning The Year 2013 in Our Lord Jesus Christ – you're next. Why? Cause it's Just Do It July.
Am I ready for the onslaught of Just Do It July 2013? No. Is my girlfriend ready for the return of DNOs? Certainly not. But are they important? …
3) The Potential for Bar Fights is Back – by Joey and Merkyll
Joey – Only once have I been close to getting into a bar fight. And guess who was there, begging to rock bottom some bitch to the floor? Cliff.
We were at a local hot spot around town when this 20-something slooze starts going all Bloodsport on another typical 20-something slooze. Hair was pulled, kicks were landed, and drunken punches were launched. Then Slooze #1 turns to some poor shmuck and starts going off on him about his unbelievably small penis, or some bullshit like that. He just laughs, turns to me, and smiles. I proceed to ask him what he had done to deserve such hatred. Well Mr. Schmuck didn't take too kindly to that, got in my face a little bit, and told me to back off. I obviously would have tombstoned his ass, but I played it cool and backed off. I turn around to see Cliff, wide eyed and fuming, ready to kick the guy's ass. He turned to me and said, "Joey, I was THIS close to putting my forearm into that guy's throat and teaching him a lesson." We proceeded to get hyped on each other and fantasize about how we would have Stone-Cold-Steve-Austin'd his ass up and down the bar.
Come to think of it, I can't remember the last time I went out with Cliff and he didn't almost start a fight to prove how awesome he is. One time, somebody called him a "ginger fuck" after he got up in some dudes face. While he was telling me this story, I reminded Cliff that he was, in fact, a ginger fuck, but to no avail. Cliff wasn't about to be disrespected like that. One time the cops told us we had to move our car because we were parked illegally during a tailgate. Cliff was there ready to throw down with the pig, yelling something about, "I didn't fight a fucking war so you could come and tell me to move my car." Yeah, he said that to a cop. No big deal. OK, maybe he didn't say fuck, but whatever, it was still amazing. The point is we are all about to go peoples elbow on half of the east coast when Cliff gets back. And we couldn't be more excited about that.
Merkyll – The first time I ever drank liquor was in Cliff's basement with Eli and McCannon and a bottle of Captain Morgan (I know..back off). Our nights would generally end in watching Rescue Me on DVD for the 900th time or South Park reruns and laughing our asses off. Thinking back, damn those nights were great. Anyway, occasionally we would actually muster the energy to leave the house and voyage off somewhere in our hometown. One particular night, we got everyone's favorite person (currently a Chemical Engineer in Bumfuck Georgia) to sober drive us to Amphora. We had all drank enough to embarrass ourselves, and we figured a fine-dining establishment such as Amphora was the perfect setting for us to do just that.
Rather than go with the modest approach of arriving subtlety with class, Cliff rolled up in a long white Arab gown and I wore an enormous (probably about 12 by 12 inches) pin that read "No One Could Hug Me the Way You Can". From the moment we entered the restaurant people started staring us at and smirking. Like something from a bad Entourage Season 4 scene – one person in the restaurant started talking shit to me, which led to McCannon flipping out and yelling at the person – which led to more shit talking towards McCannon from the other side – which eventually led to Clifford standing up and flipping the fuck out (in full Arab garb).
Someone from the other group kept yelling about how Cliff was being disrespectful with his outfit, to which Cliff responded with something like "I lived in Egypt and I speak fucking Arabic so shut the fuck up". (Who would have thought Cliff would big league someone in an Amphora at 3AM while drunk). McCannon also knocked over a plate which shattered on the floor. He dropped a 20$ and all of us got the fuck out of the restaurant.
Isn't it funny how some of the most nostalgic nights take place when everyone is drunk and wearing Egyptian clothing?
4) Increased Frequency of Betting on Physical Prowess – by Bart – I am not ashamed to admit that I have packed on a few pounds over the last year or two. It's not like I'm not aware. Considering that, I was still able to finish 3rd place in the physical challenge. I know what should be done – a steady lower carb diet with less high fat content and processed foods alongside a consistent exercise regiment occurring at least 3 days a week – I am not an idiot. But once Cliff comes back, I will be reminded on a daily basis about cross-fit routines and push-ups I am not doing. Or pick-up basketball games I will not be participating in.
For Cliff must do just that; he must remind you that he physically stronger than you. Dare you question him? Dare not! For if you dare, you enter a competition of that you wish you did not dare in the first place. Get ready to bet $10,000 because Cliff will not lose. Or if he thinks he will not lose, he will tickle, bite, or complain his way to victory. Get ready for it Arlington, with Cliff back you can be sure to spot him running roadside while bearing his trademark neck-beard and exposed pale man-chest.
5 ) New Lessons in Southeast Asian Geography – by Al
In the proverbial shed of intelligence Cliff is a Valyrian steel greatsword with an air horn strapped to it. There is a large, loud presence, but wits to match. He's worldly because, well, he's actually pretty traveled (and not just to The Stan). He's an erudite because he's well-read.
The catch is that sometimes he can be a bit pedantic about how much he knows. Any benign conversation can start a discussion on the sociopolitical environment of Laos. Or you'll be gifted with an esoteric fact about the Dutch colonization of South Africa because of something you saw in a GEICO commercial.
Now don't get me wrong, Clifford isn't always like that. It's more of a tic. Even though you may roll your eyes, are you not going to find the factoid interesting? Just because you're about to do your fifth shot of tequila, aren't you going to at least try to remember what he said?
This is who Clifford is and we love him for it. He says these things because he thinks you'll be genuinely interested, or he wants to hear your opinion on it. Okay… sometimes it's actually just to be ostentatious.
But wouldn't you rather have a friend who knows a lot about global politics and isn't a mouth-breathing moron?

I think if there is one thing people should know about me it is that I am really honest. I mean REALLY REALLY honest. I am completely incapable of the social niceties that seem to come so effortlessly to others. "We really have to get together sometime!" or "Let's do lunch" are foreign to me. The accompanying look of horror on my face when I try to say these things makes it obvious to anyone that I am being insincere.
If I don't mean it I can't say it. Perhaps this is a result of my remote living conditions, but I doubt it. I am just one of those truly honest people. I have learned the hard way that life is short and I just don't have time for bullshit. Yep that's me in a nutshell.
Gotta go sun's shining

Obese people may be more likely to regain their weight after dieting due to changes in their hormones, a study has indicated – something that could interest expat insurance customers.
The research, which was undertaken by the University of Melbourne and Austin Health and published in the New England Journal of Medicine, involved 50 overweight adults who took part in a ten-week program where they consumed a low-energy diet.
Investigators analysed their appetite-regulating hormones at the baseline level, when they had completed the regime and one year later.
It was discovered that when around 13kg had been lost, hormones shifted in a way that would be thought to heighten an individual's appetite.
Furthermore, this was sustained for at least one year, during which the average participant gained 5kg.
Statistics indicate more than 80 per cent of obese dieters do not manage to maintain a low weight, despite the fact that people can often become slimmer due to a restricted eating habit.
It is estimated that at least 1.5 billion adults are overweight worldwide, with 400 million of these described as obese.
Professor Joseph Proietto claimed this study has revealed the position hormonal changes play in body weight, demonstrating one reason why dieting and behavioural changes often do not have long-term effects.
Campaigns that advise obese members of the public to engage in diet and exercise are therefore unlikely to reverse this public health problem, he stated.
The expert added: "The study also suggests that hunger following weight loss needs to be addressed. This may be possible with long-term pharmacotherapy or hormone manipulation, but these options need to be investigated."
Professor Proietto claimed efforts to ensure young people do not develop poor eating habits or become obese would have greater success than focusing on those who already have the condition.
Ensuring that children are not provided with fizzy and sugary drinks by promoting juices, water and diet alternatives is one way to establish healthy eating habits and avoid adulthood obesity, Slimming World nutritionist Jenny Allan recently argued.

Don't miss a story. Like us on Facebook. Like Dallas News' Facebook Page
Big news out of Monday's meeting of the Landmark Commission: The historic Masonic Temple on Harwood Street is about to get a new owner ... who will remove the signage and symbols that have adorned the limestone-and-marble building since it was built in 1941.
It's not clear who the new owner is: Rob Baldwin of Baldwin Associates will only say that it's a "philanthropic organization that has nothing to do with First Presbyterian or the Stewpot." (A couple of years ago, First Presbyterian Church kicked the tires on the building before focusing all of its attention on 508 Park Avenue.) He says "it's not going to be another Stewpot or Bridge or have anything to do with the homeless."
Baldwin, incidentally, isn't even representing the would-be owner, but a third party who's working with the interested buyer. He cites a confidentiality agreement that prohibits him from saying much more.
He does say "you'd recognize the name" when asked, well, if we'd recognize the name. "But that's all I'll say," he says.
Baldwin says the deal is likely to close before the end of the year; other sources familiar with it say the paperwork should be signed before the end of next week.
One thing is certain: The new owner will remove the symbols. Landmark approved that yesterday against the wishes of the historic preservation staff. According to docs filed for Monday's meetings, "Staff believes that the existing signage and symbols proposed to be removed are character defining features of the Masonic Temple and should remain in place. Even if the structure is adaptively used for another purpose, there are many instances of other structures (schools, churches, department stores, and office buildings) that have been adaptively used or repurposed without the removal of character defining signage or symbols."
The building's in the Harwood Historic District, which means its owners can't change the exterior without the city's OK.
But in the end, Landmark voted to let the new owner remove them because, well, "it's not going to be a Masonic temple anymore," says Baldwin. "The Masons wanted them off. The symbols have specific significance for the Masons. If they stayed on there it's technically still a Masonic temple, and there are use limitations on that, so it was in everyone's best interest to have them removed."
About those "use limitations": The Landmark Commission was told yesterday that having those symbols outside means you can't serve alcohol inside. Doesn't mean the new owners will be serving booze. Also doesn't mean they won't. They just want to have the option -- which makes sense, given the fact some of the building would make for, say, an excellent performance space. Depending on who the new owner is.
If the sale does go through, that means the Masons will finally be rid of its "albatross," as Ward Guffey, then president of the Masonic Temple Corp., referred to the building in a 2005 Dallas Morning News story. The 43,000-square-foot temple has been on and off the market for years as the Masons saw their ranks begin to dwindle.

If the Hotel is using certificate authentication you will not be able to use an XBOX because you can not download the certificate to the XBOX. If you have a latop then you could get connected then setup an ad-hoc network in wich you can connect the XBOX.
