Cuba Canines
I recently spent a week in Varadero, Cuba where we went off our 5-star resort to explore the local streets. Eating where the locals eat and experiencing the local culture can be challenging in the tourist town of Varadero.
The one thing that we found was not part of the 'tourist trap', were the local canines. They seemed very much at ease criss-crossing the streets, greeting all of the tourists as if they were employed by the local hotels to promote their business. Of course none of them were spayed or neutered, but they all seemed in good health. Someone is looking out for each and every one of them I think.
It was nice for us to get our 'canine fix' as we like to call it when we are away from our own canine companions. It was truly a pleasure meeting each and every one who crossed our paths!

Meet Jenny - our new dog groomer
Please check out the BEFORE and AFTER pics of my Toy Poodle, Honey! She had her 'spa day' with Jenny today. Doesn't she look absolutely beautiful! I am fairly fussy when it comes to my poodle and like her to be perfectly coiffed. Honey is a bit nervous when here, but Jenny made her feel comfortable enough to give her kisses when she was done.
Thank you, Jenny for a wonderful job on my Honey!
Jenny Treutlein has 7 years of all breed grooming experience and we are happy to have her join the Royal City Grooming Centre team. She looks forward to meeting you and your dog too, so she can pamper them the way she pampered my Honey.
To book your dog's 'spa day' with Jenny, please call us at 519-763-5788

Happy Birthday Lisa
Today is Lisa's Birthday.
Which Lisa is that, you ask? After all we have 3 who work here.
That would be Lisa E., the technician.
Today she turns...............(i dare not say)
Perhaps someone will bake her a delicious home made cake for her special day.
ooopss...she is the baker - does that mean she has to bake her own cake for the rest of us to enjoy? I have no problem with that.
Have a Fabulous day Lisa.
Happy Birthday from all of your friends and coworkers at Royal City Animal Hospital.

Pet Nutrition
With so much variety on the market today, which pet food should I choose?
There has been an exponential increase in the number of different pet food companies in the past few years. Although all pet foods sold in stores must adhere to regulations set by
AAFCO (regulator of pet food), the restrictions are quite lax. This means that there is a huge variety in the type and quality of ingredients used. For example, a certain brand can make a claim to have glucosamine but the amount in the bag may not be at therapeutic levels. This means it is essentially useless in helping to relieve the pain of arthritis. Also many pet food companies will spend a large majority of their budget on marketing and advertising to appeal to the owners, whereas other pet food companies spend more money on research and development to ensure that the food is indeed the best for the animal.
If you are considering a specific type of food, or if you have any questions or concerns about pet nutrition, we encourage you to discuss this with your veterinary team. We know your pet and may be able to offer some useful suggestions based on your pet's specific needs.

Holiday Pet Emergencies
Holiday Pet Safety Tips
The holidays can be a fun and exciting time of year for everyone, including your furry little friends. Unfortunately we see a lot of emergencies at this time of year. Chocolates are common gifts but can be quite toxic and even fatal to dogs. Theobromine, the active ingredient in chocolate that is toxic to dogs, can be quite damaging to the heart so make sure you keep those tasty treats well out of reach.
Try to keep these bits of information in mind while you are enjoying this festive time of year.
For a more detailed list of Holiday Hazards - please check out this link from the ASPCA.
Pets love turkey but we urge you not to give your dog or cat any of the trimmings or bones from the carcass. Trimmings tend to be high in fat and can cause pancreatitis, a very painful inflammation of the abdomen often requiring hospitalization and intensive care. Bones (cooked or raw) can be harmful as well. Raw bones have the tendency to fracture teeth requiring them to be surgically extracted while cooked bones will splinter into tiny bits and can act like little razor blades on the inside of the gut (ouch!).
Try to keep these bits of information in mind while you are enjoying this festive time of year.
For a more detailed list of Holiday Hazards - please check out this link from the ASPCA.
We wish you and your pet(s) a safe and happy holiday!!

Saying Goodbye - over the Rainbow Bridge
The past six weeks have been really hard for us at Royal City Animal Hospital.
For some reason, we have experienced more than the average number of deaths in the pets that we look after. Several dogs and cats died at a ripe old age: Shira (19 years), Chester (16 years), Molly (16 years), Sammy (16 years), Uey (14 years), Ozzie (14 years), and Jake (13 years). Many of these dogs and cats had medical or surgical problems that we were able to help their families treat so their beloved pets were able to live long and happy lives. Others died suddenly, with little warning and before their time: Autumn (10years) and Baxter (6 years). Others had severe illnesses and were not able to recover: Jasmine (5 years), and Barley (8 years).
Of course it is the families who hurt the most when a beloved pet dies but their deaths certainly affect us too.
One of our clients who is a family physician said it best as he was holding his sick Labrador Retriever in his arms: "This must be the hardest part of your job. Do you ever get used to it?" No, we never get used to it and it breaks our hearts each time we have ease the passage of a beloved dog or cat into their next life over the Rainbow Bridge.
These are animals we have seen since they were puppies and kittens: we've watched them become part of your family and we watch you grieve now that they are gone. We treasure each and every pet who comes here and wish we could make them all live forever. By: Barbara Drewry

Teya's Injury Update
Several of our clients at Royal City Animal Hospital have been asking about the "contraption" that Teya has on her back leg. As you may remember, she had surgery a while ago to repair a ruptured Achilles tendon. (In horses, this injury is referred to as a "bowed tendon".) In order to allow the tendon to heal after surgery there must be minimal extension or flexion of her ankle. The best way to achieve this is to use an "external fixation device" affectionately referred to as an Ex-Fix!
As you can see from the picture, an Ex-Fix is a series of pins that go through the bone in her lower leg. The pins are joined together by rods that are outside her leg (i.e. "external" as opposed to an "internal" fixation where there would be a metal plate such as that used in a fracture repair.) This allows the hock (ankle) to be held in relative flexion so that there is only a small amount of tension on the weakened tendon. Her knees and her hips are fully mobile so that she can still walk, run, jump, scratch herself etc. Of course, she is not supposed to be doing any running, or jumping, but sometimes it is hard to stop her!
Although the Ex-Fix looks ungainly Teya has tolerated it very well and it has actually allowed her much more freedom than a splint or a cast, which would immobilize the whole leg. There aren't the problems with pressure sores, moisture and frequent bandages changes that you have with a splint or a cast.
The other big advantage with an Ex-Fix is that it can be adjusted to allow more or less flexion or extension as healing progresses. She saw her surgeon at the referral hospital yesterday and she was very pleased with the way the leg is healing. Our next recheck is in a month, at which time adjustments may be made to change the angle of the hock.
Unfortunately, this type of injury requires a long recovery period (usually 6 – 8 months). Once the Ex-Fix has been removed (hopefully in another 8 weeks) we'll start her rehabilitation; our goal is that she can resume training this spring! We hope she makes a full recovery so that she can get back to retrieving which is what she loves to do most of all!!

Brigador has got some grit, I'll give it that much. With its synthwave soundtrack and isometric view angle, this mech action shooter looks like you'd have to control it using the tracking knob on a VHS player. I'd say, "On your dad's VHS player," but who am I kidding? I've still got a functional VCR laying around here somewhere.
The first 30 minutes is hard to enjoy. It's over a dozen very short tutorial quips, few lasting more than a couple minutes, that send you back and forth through load screens more than is required or welcome. But after that, once Brigador lets you stretch your legs a little, then it opens up its fun factor.
I did hop through those tutorials, getting acquainted with the mech-stomping action, as well as the rapid-fire guns that sound less like BattleTech and more like a rotary engine on a World War I Sopwith Camel. I mean, Brigador's whole aesthetic is like cybergrunge rather than cyberpunk. Like Boris Vallejo woke up one day, stopped painting Conan the Barbarian, and started smashing his kid's LEGO Wall-E set together in uncomfortable ways. The different airbrushed portraits of the mech pilots look pretty throw-up-the-devil-horns metal. It's all neck tattoos and shiny leather.
The real-time tactics took a bit to grow on me. But walking that mech up and down the avenue, trouncing through pipe-laden industrial buildings, neon-bright ammo bunkers, brutalist apartments, walled gardens, and meat-factory farmsteads, gets more interesting the more you revisit each particular stage. There isn't much of a campaign narrative to follow, which makes it all the more entertaining to go back into a stage—knowing the layout and the enemy strength—and giving them a second, third, or fourth pummeling. Things got especially good when I quit trying to futz with the way-too-slow-to-rotate gamepad and gave into the WASD controls. Brigador is rather unfriendly to controllers. Its action sequences sharpened way up once I mouse-and-keyboarded it. That isn't any latent PC bias in me, either. I grew up on PCs, but much prefer analog sticks and triggers. Still, Brigador's smash-bang language gets a lot more fluent and free flowing once you start trashing the place with a QWERTY mindset.
Anyway, I'd acquired Brigador at some point in the last couple years (it might've been from a Humble Monthly or Humble Bundle) and I'd always been meaning to play it. John Yan's New Year's Gaming Resolution for 2019 is to "give it an hour." Meaning, if he fires up a game, he wants to at least give it 60 minutes of his time. You'd be surprised how easy it is to write off a game in only 10 or 15 minutes when we're not reviewing it. So, I stole John's gaming resolution and gave Brigador an hour. If I'd stopped at 30 minutes, I'd have walked away much less satisfied. At first, Brigador did nothing except shove too many tutorials down my throat and make me want to reload BattleTech instead. But my second 30 minutes with Brigador was much more absorbing.
Russell Archey gave Brigador an 8.5 out of 10 back in 2015, when it was still in Steam Early Access (and back when we still gave scores to Early Access—which we don't do anymore). I was looking for a palate cleanser and Brigador's scrappy indie sensibilities delivered. Give it an hour.

"Women's rights are part of peace. They simply belong together", says Vida Faizi, Medica Afghanistan
We talked to Humaira Rasuli, Director of Medica Afghanistan, her Deputy Director Saifora Ibrahim Paktiss, Helai Sohak, Office Director in Mazar-e-Sharif, and Vida Faizi, Head of the Psychosocial Counselling Department.
In 2010 Medica Afghanistan became an independent organisation. What impacts has this step had on your work?
Humaira Rasuli: "Generally we are very proud to be an independent organisation. We are recognized as a national NGO, which has important legal consequences for work in the country. At the same time, there are some aspects which are not easy. Neither the interdisciplinary and integrated work approach of medica mondiale and Medica Afghanistan nor the trauma-sensitive approach are very familiar to the Afghan Ministry of Public Health and Ministry of Justice or the Ministry of Interior. So the concepts behind our work are not very well known, which poses a significant challenge. We are proud to have medica mondiale backing us up with their support. We are trying to develop our country, increasing our professionalism. This needs a lot of patience, a lot of persistence, a lot of learning. But I can see changes which have taken place since we became a national organisation. Although we still need some support during this transition period at the levels of operations and strategic planning, our team is competent and functioning well, and we have a strong commitment and courage. Currently we have three programmes: legal aid, psychosocial health and advocacy. We also do a lot of capacity building in our health and legal sections. We practice the interdisciplinary approach by offering direct social counselling and simultaneously carrying out advocacy work at both the political and community levels. This has a meaningful impact. Through this approach we have been able to address gender-based violence and especially sexualized gender-based violence in a very efficient way."
Saifora, what is your role at Medica Afghanistan? How does a young woman become deputy director of a women's rights organisation?
Saifora Ibrahim Paktiss: "I do not think I'm very young, because if you realise that life expectancy for Afghans is around 50-60 years, I'm actually an old woman at over thirty. Yes, I think becoming deputy director for an organisation like Medica Afghanistan is really a tough job. The good thing is I have had a background experience in many sectors, including government, local non-governmental organisations, donors, funding organisations, and embassies. So those all came together, along with the educational background I have. However, this doesn't mean that I could just sit back and relax after being appointed deputy director: there is always room for improvement. So it's really not easy, but it's a fantastic job, too. My task is to oversee the programme area, pertaining to the background experience I have, whether this is the donor liaison, concept development, or reporting and supervision for programmes in all locations where Medica Afghanistan is present."
Vida, during your work, you and your colleagues hear a lot of stories of violence, discrimination and fear. Would you say that Afghan women still have enough hope to fight for their rights?
Vida Faizi: "Based on my experience, working with women for a very long time, being together with women very closely and learning from them, above all it is peace they are longing for. Women's rights are part of peace. They simply belong together. There can be no sustainable peace with gender-based violence or discrimination. But some women hope that suffering will end with peace. They say, 'If there was peace in our country then we would have a very good economic situation, our husbands would be very content, and then they would treat us very well because they earn money for the family' and so on. However, if they look deep into their hearts, they know that this isn't true. Only if every human being is respected, men as well as women, and if laws against violence are observed, only then does sustainable peace have a chance."
Helai Sohak, you are Office Director in Mazar-e-Sharif. What special circumstances do you face there compared to Kabul or Herat?
Helai Sohak:The situation of women in the Mazar-e-Sharif region is different from Kabul. Most of the people in remote areas and villages follow the old culture and customs. Most of the time they prefer to solve their family cases through tribal mediation because they don't believe in the state system. Tribal mediation (Jirga) is mostly in the hands of men, so men prefer to solve their cases this way. Furthermore, they don't allow women and girls to solve their problems through official prosecutors and the judicial system. This would be the better option for women and girls as victims or survivors of violence. On the other hand, women aren't actually very optimistic about the judicial system, since there is a lack of awareness of the issues of discrimination and sexualised violence, corruption, and the patriarchal system in Afghanistan. So women often come to the conclusion that any decision, whether taken at tribal mediation or in court, will benefit the opposing side. Female activists in civil society are trying to bring about some positive changes regarding the position of women in society. They are working together and they have some advocacy contact points where they do awareness raising. Medica Afghanistan also works on awareness-raising regarding the rights of women, especially the implementation of the EVAW Law (Elimination of Violence Against Women), gender equality and family law. We have been successful in building trust between judicial departments, the population in general, and non-governmental female activists. Furthermore, we have had some live media programmes, for example radio broadcasts and round-table sessions on TV on special days such as International Women's Day, World Youth Day and so on. Fortunately these efforts brought very positive changes in the status of women. With each passing day, women are becoming better informed about their rights. They have been able to defend their rights and can be referred to women activists, NGOs and justice organisations. Now we are seeing a lot of counselling and legal aid cases from rural districts and other provinces. As a women's organisation we are trying to provide comprehensive services for all women. Our vision is that in the future, no girl or woman suffers from domestic violence, old customs or patriarchal structures anymore.

When you compare the technologies of electric power plants and solar power plants, it's easy to see that getting solar energy requires very little maintenance on your part. However, it's still important to monitor your solar energy system and maintain the system regularly so that you're getting the most from your system. To make sure you don't experience service interruption and to minimize the risk of damage or fire, here are some tips for making sure you get consistent residential solar energy.
Panels, Inverters and AC/DC Power Cabinets
It's pretty common to have issues with your solar panels during the summer, since there may be operational issues at the solar power plant. Fuses can overheat in the warm weather, and inverters can shut down easily during this season as well. If you're experiencing issues, talk to your provider right away to conduct an inspection. If you wait until the end of the month, there will be inconsistencies between the monthly report and the electric bill.
Cleaning the Panels
If you take a look at your solar panels every few weeks, you'll likely see dirt on the module glass. It's not uncommon to see leaves, bird droppings and dust on the panels, and if you live in an area that gets heavy rain or snow, the residue from the moisture will settle on the panels. This can affect the function of the panels.
The modules and the strings are connected, so if there is dirt on a module, the electrical power can be affected. Hire a team of professional cleaners to keep your panels intact and be sure to choose a team you can call on a regular basis. If you try to clean the panels yourself and it's not done correctly, you could damage and you won't get all the solar energy that you need. If you do decide to clean your solar panels, make sure that you use a gentle cleanser. Stay away from harsh chemicals and detergent that can affect the way the sun comes through the panels.
Additional Maintenance Tips
There are a few other elements that you should be aware of when caring for your solar panels. All of the roof penetrations need to be intact and the places where the panels are screwed into the roof should be watertight. Make sure there is enough drainage on the roof so the panels won't collect too much water and have your roof professional inspected to make sure there are no clogs. If there is water pooling near the panels or vegetation is growing due to the excess water, this should be removed immediately.
Keep in mind that as solar plants get older, it becomes more important that both your panels and the operation of the solar plant are in good condition. Remember that your solar plant is properly in an area where it is difficult or impossible to make cell phone calls on get on the internet, so reporting any issues with your panels right away is best.
Once you decide that solar energy is right for your home, be sure to get an estimate from a few companies to decide which one is best for your budget and energy needs.

3 December 2018 - Speaker 5 - Rob Evans - Something from Nothing
Our speaker, Rob Evans could surely hear the excited chatter in the pub about his presentation as he travelled back down the M6 to Birkenhead.
Rob is a highly successful photographic artist, specialising in composite image making and the creation of 'real', surreal and fantasy images. His presentation did feel like a magic show and his enthusiasm and impassioned desire to share with members his knowledge of Photoshop, its huge potential, and the procedures he uses to create his kind of magic was refreshing and inspiring. His advice to members that they should create images for their own pleasure and look for inspiration in the work of others struck a note and will, I am sure, inform their work and increase their enjoyment of photography.
Rob has been invited to come back to Lancaster for a more in-depth, learning day. This will, hopefully, slot into our emerging programme of Saturday workshops.
From Rob Evans's slides, the apps and Photoshop plugins he uses were:
- Nik Software Colour Effects Pro
- Nik Software Silver effects Pro
- Topaz Filters
- Lucis Art
- Photomatix
- Aurora
- Raya Pro
- Also the YouTube Downloader app for Windows
He recommended authors Aaron Nace (phlearn.com) and Glyn Dewis (Glyndewis.com) and he recommended the Huion H610 Pro Art Graphics Tablet as a cheaper equivalent to the Wacom range.

Photos taken on Halloween 2010
Hey everyone, welcome to my blog! I first started this blog back in 2009, blogged for a few months and then gave up when the novelty wore off. I've deleted all my old posts and now I'm ready for a fresh start. I'm hoping that I can stick to it this time around and that I'll go somewhere with this blog. It'll predominantly be a beauty/fashion/style blog, while dabbling a bit into music, film and photography, which I also love.
I just need a creative outlet and hopefully this will suffice.

All right my fellow gentleman- Rule #1. If you are an older man dating younger women, then you have to stop caring what society thinks. You can start to change your dating habits and end up with a real hottie if that's what you want. However, acting wishy washy about it or caving to peer pressure will only hurt your chances. Embrace your manhood. The penis knows no "shame." You want what you want. All right, now that we got that out of the way, let's talk about the mental connection.
Rule #2. An older man dating younger women is confident in himself. He knows that though a younger woman is more attractive in appearance, he makes up for it in personality. He is mature, wise and very sexy when he is confident. Come on, what girl hasn't had an older teacher fantasy before? Haven't you ever heard of women complaining that guys their own age are too immature? Haven't you even heard these women say, "If only he would grow up!" So don't be ashamed of your age. Your age is an asset. Pain, experience, wisdom-these make you interesting. And interesting is sexy.
She is already aware of the age difference and if she has any brains in that smoking bod, then she knows that you have experienced more in life than she has. You have something to offer her. Showcase your wisdom; be practical, and be grounded. Avoid making the rash mistakes that younger men do. You are calm, reserved and receptive. You have nothing to prove.
Rule #3. An older man dating younger women does not try to control his date. You should be confident enough in who you are to not "need this relationship." Do not manipulate the woman or try to force her to feel something. This is probably what she doesn't like about men her own age; they are too possessive, needy and insecure. You can stand out from the competition by showing yourself to be content, calm, intelligent and comfortable with her presence.
An older man dating younger women is not just a myth or a fantasy. It is happening all around you. Step 1 in getting what you want is to let yourself have it!
If you are an older man dating younger women , or you want to date younger women, then look no further. Visit 2015 Older Men Younger Women Dating Site Review site [http://www.oldermenyoungerwomendatingsite.com/] for all the latest information regarding dating younger women.

'Sherlock's Steven Moffat Threatens Season 4 Will Be "Devastating," But That's What He Always Says
I think Steven Moffat measures success in tears. That became clear to the masses who've watched Doctor Who and Sherlock years ago, of course, but it's a motif that keeps repeating itself, as it did Monday night after he won his Emmy for writing Sherlock's "His Last Vow," when Moffat told the press room that Sherlock Season 4 will be "devastating." As The Hollywood Reporter relays:
We have a plan to top [Season 3] — and actually I do think our plan is devastating. We practically reduced our cast to tears by telling them the plan. Honestly, Mark [Gatiss] and myself are so excited with what we've got coming up, probably more excited than we've ever been about Sherlock. Honestly I think we can [top the last season].
This would be alarming — or maybe just exciting — if it weren't for the fact that this is how Moffat's talked about every season of Sherlock except the first one. Hell, it even seems like how he's talked about every season of Doctor Who. This is de rigueur for Moffat: Weave tales of catastrophe early on, promise to trump whatever emotional magic tricks he pulled last season, and then eventually deliver something that will be a bit melodramatic and critically divisive, much like Sherlock Season 3's finale.
As for what devastation could possibly lie in store for the Sherlock audience... well, there are a couple. But given that we've already dealt with the separation (or potential separation) of our Sherlock Holmes and John Watson in two consecutive season finales, I've got one leading theory — and it's not too happy an ending for Amanda Abbington's Mary Morstan/Watson. She doesn't exactly survive the books, and considering the story where she just like casually dies was published over a hundred years ago, I'm not even going to consider that a spoiler.
But you can bet that if Moffat and Gatiss are looking for a means for devastation, finding a more dramatic way to off Mary Morstan — who just had a baby with John last season — is at the top of their list.

1. Introduction
In the past 57 years, National Tsing Hua University (NTHU) has established itself as one of the top research universities in Taiwan. Currently NTHU has seven colleges, i.e., Colleges of Science, Engineering, Nuclear Science, Humanities and Social Sciences, Life Sciences, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science as well as Technology Management. In addition, there is a Commission of General Education to coordinate the basic education curricula for the entire university.
2. Current Accomplishments of Key Research Fields
The University administration provides a stimulating and nurturing environment within which our faculty can offer quality teaching and conduct innovative research. With the special funding obtained from the Ministry of Education, NTHU is upgrading teaching and research with the goal of ascending into the rank of world leading universities. NTHU has selected, after careful deliberation on our research strengths, to concentrate in five major research areas. These are: 1. Fundamental and Applied Sciences of Matters, 2. Interactive Nano-X Sciences, 3. Low Carbon Energy, 4. Connectomics, and 5. Advanced Manufacturing and Service Management. In each and every chosen area, NTHU has already accomplished a great deal. The followings are notable results:
(1) Fundamental and Applied Sciences of Matters
The Center is organized mainly around research groups from both National Tsing Hua University and National Chiao Tung University (NCTU). The combined research outputs in chemistry and physics are among the best in Taiwan and can be ranked within top 40 in the world in terms of journal publications. According to the database of Essential Science Indicators (ESI), the combined number of publications for NTHU and NCTU in chemistry from 2002 to 2012 is ranked 36 in the world, which is promoted by 2 steps relative to ranked 38 from 2000 to 2010. In physics, the rank is 23, which is promoted by 4 steps relative to 27. If only outputs from core physics and chemistry departments are counted, the leadership of integrated NTHU and NCTU in Taiwan becomes more evident, especially in the past few years. Recently, NTHU and NCTU have published 6 papers in Science (with corresponding authors in four of them) and 3 papers in Nature (with corresponding authors in all three). These performance indicators establish the Center as the leading role of the basic and applied matter science research center in Taiwan and indicate that the Center is internationally competitive.
(2) Interactive Nano-X Sciences
The Interactive Nano-X Research Center (INX Center) was established to provide a platform to cultivate cross-domain cooperative R&D environment. Its research focuses encompass four major areas, including nano materials, nano / micro electromechanical, nano optoelectronic and electronic components and nano biomedical science and technology. One major essence of the center is to seek and develop close interdisciplinary interaction and collaboration within as well as between the four research areas. It is built on the foundation of nano-materials, metrology of testing and characterization techniques and expands toward developing key technologies for synthesizing new nano-materials, fabricating critical next-generation nano optoelectronic and electronic components and creating advanced nano/micro electromechanical systems particularly gearing to nano-biomedical applications.
Another equally important mission of this center is to not only continue our existing industrial collaboration relationship but also expand its cooperation with more domestic manufacturers in technical consultation, personal training, OEM by providing qualified engineers from companies, large or small, open assess to equipment and other services in the center. Adjacent to the nearby Industrial Technology Research Institute and Taiwan science and technology center in Hsinchu Science Park, our center plays a vital role in enhancing an industry/academia/research institution cohesive collaboration to promote research innovation and key technology development and, ultimately, to further enhance our industrial global competitiveness.
(3) Low Carbon Energy
The Low Carbon Energy Research Center focuses on proactive research activities in green energy technology, nuclear power, smart grid, and low-carbon energy technology policy and promotion strategy of energy industry.
Green Energy technology
On green energy technology, NTHU researchers have dedicated in the past ten years to the development of phosphorescent organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). Recently, NTHU chemists have started to use the related design concept in synthesizing a new series of highly efficient, thiocyanate-free sensitizer for dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) applications. One recent paper dealing with this topic has paved a new avenue for DSSC research in the future. NTHU researchers have also demonstrated CIGS solar cells of the efficiency 12% without post-selenization and AR coating. The team collaborates with the world-class domestic target fabrication company to develop the key technology for the sputtering from quaternary CIGS targets. A research team is also working on high efficient solar to photosynthetic bio-hydrogen production in micro environment characterized by high resolution environmental electron microscopy.
The NTHU research team on fuel cells focuses on developing key technologies in methanol reforming, nano/micro flow control, proton exchange membrane, low CO-sensitive nano-catalysts and system integration. Moreover, the team members also explore the fundamental transport phenomena related to the system to enable the design for efficient heat and water management in the reforming type methanol fuel cell. With the integration of all these efforts, a 10-100 W level low-temperature methanol-reforming type low-CO-sensitive PEMFC can be realized.
A NTHU team explores innovative technology to effectively use the low speed wind energy for transportation. They design a smart mechanical devise to convert the energy from low speed wind into compressed air with high pressure. The high pressure air is then used to drive vehicle such as motorcycles and beach vehicles.
As for energy storage, the NTHU research group in developing the next generation of "super-capacitors" is among the topnotch teams around the world. The team has developed a powerful strategy for the fabricating the nitrogen-doped grapheme sheets with good crystallinity, high specific surface area, and high percentages of pyridinic/graphitic-nitrogen structures with great potential to serve as an electrode material of a supercapacitor.
Nuclear Safety Technology
With several NSTPE projects on going, NTHU research on nuclear safety focuses on the safety analyses using system codes approved by regulatory authority and CFD analysis for certain local phenomena as well as experimental studies on certain physical phenomena during a nuclear accident to understand the physical mechanisms and to verify the numerical simulations. In particular, lessons learned from the Fukushima accident are exercised. NTHU had helped Taipower Company to establish the so-called Ultimate Response Guidelines (URGs) through its safety analyses.
Smart Microgrid Technology
NTHU recently completed a project on low carbon energy is entitled "Research and Development of Key Technologies for Intelligent Micro Grid." The main purpose of this project is to respond the National Energy Policy and make efforts on the R&D of Key Technologies for Intelligent Micro Grid. Its contents mainly consist of four subprojects. The first is entitled "R&D of High Step Up Ratio DC Conversion Interface Technology". A DC Voltage Quadruples is developed for achieving high step up voltage gain, automatic current sharing, low voltage stress, high efficiency. The second subproject is entitled "R&D of High Efficiency LED Driver Technology with Wireless Dimming Control capability". The major contributions include a High Step Down Ratio DC Conversion Interface and the low cost, low power consumption Wireless Communication Interface with Dimming Control capability. As to the third subproject, it is focused on the "R&D of a Fully Digital Seamless Grid Paralleling as well as Real and Reactive Power Control technology". Novel isolated version DC to AC converter is developed to achieve the objective of seamless and smooth control between stand alone and grid connected operation modes. Finally, the fourth subproject is focused on the "R&D of grid system integration, monitoring and coordinate control technologies." Optimal Power Flow Control of Multi-Converter System is studied and a Management Platform based on Wireless Communications Network is developed for monitoring and control.
Low-Carbon Energy Technology Policy and Promotion Strategy of Energy Industry
NTHU has also been working on the energy policy and law regarding climate change. Moreover, some of the team members have also been working on the health effect of using bio-diesel as well as public policy regarding inter-local-government collaboration on energy issues in USA. The use of bio-diesel may reduce significantly the pollutants such as CO, SOx, PHA,nPHA, etc. The reduction of such pollutants may result in beneficial effects on human health, thus reduce the medical expenses.
(4) Connectomics
In the core project, aiming to reconstruct a virtual fly brain called FlyCircuit, the NTHU Connectomics research team has collected approximately 10% of the total brain neurons and counting, constructed a digital atlas and proposed the concept of local processing unit within the brain (Current Biology, 2011). The New York Times echoed this publication and commented "Biologists see this atlas of the fly brain as a first step toward understanding the human brian…" In EurekAlert, "The 3D neural connectome for Drosophila brain to neuroscience is genomics to genetics". A public accessible web site (http://www.flycircuit.tw) is in service. Several patents resulting from this study (including the technologies for 3D image process, standardization, and database construction) have been awarded. In the present phase of "Toward World-Class Universities Project", new discoveries of neurons for long term memory were reported in Science (2012) and in PNAS (2013); the CO2 avoidance behavior control were published in Science (2013). Also, a comprehensive map of the central complex indicating directions of information flow in neurons was revealed in Cell Reports (2013).
(5) Advanced Manufacturing and Service Management
The advanced manufacturing and service management research center aims at increasing national competiveness and social well-being through cross-disciplinary research works. The research center involved excellent scholars from various areas, including strategy management, manufacturing and quality management, service management, innovation and ergonomics design, and green value chain management, to conduct integrated researches potentially having high impacts to the corresponding problem domains. Strategy directs market competition and technology innovation for manufacturing and service businesses. Innovation and design create continuous value to customer through new product or service design. Green value chain emphasizes the connection of values among business entities compliance with sustainability and environmental friendliness. In order to effectively integrate the research capacities and resources of this advanced manufacturing and service management research center, we choose the green energy industry (including solar energy and LED) and ICT industry as our focused industries. Hopefully, through these cross-disciplinary research collaborations, some important finding can be obtained, and the competitiveness of these industries can be enhanced.
3. Other Outstanding Performance
NTHU has taken effective measures to uplift our performances in research as well as teaching and has achieved concrete results. In the Shanghai Jiao Tong University's Academic Ranking of World Universities in 2013, NTHU ranked 246th. In the QS World University Rankings, NTHU has moved up from the 343rd place in 2006 to the 192nd in 2012. In The Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings in 2010, NTHU ranked 107th, the best ranking of all universities in Taiwan. Also in QS and THE's ranking, NTHU is ahead of all other Taiwanese universities in two important categories—"citations per faculty" (QS) and "citations per paper" (THE). Furthermore, according to the QS World University Rankings by subject in 2014, NTHU has made a great progress in 4 subjects, especially in Chemical Engineering, ranked 39th. Moreover, we have reinvigorated our teaching and research programs by instituting new policies in the areas of faculty recruitment and retention, admission, as well as curricula design.
(1) Faculty Recruitment and Retention
NTHU has implemented effective measures to attract and retain distinguished scholars. Specifically, these include: a) a meritorious salary system and additional ranks; b) ample start-up funds for our new recruits and on campus housing facilities; and, c) advanced research facilities. NTHU will soon establish "Tsing Hua Laboratory", where state-of-art facilities will be housed together to allow greater accessibility and efficiency for frontier research.
(2) Restructuring Undergraduate Education
NTHU established a Task Force on Undergraduate Education in 2007. Divided into three groups, their missions were to review the state of undergraduate education, to develop plans to establish the Tsing Hua College, and to improve the quality of our basic education program.
The goal of Tsing Hua College is to prepare students to become future leaders in society who are not only well-versed in their academic subjects but also have a caring attitude toward fellow human beings and will be active participants in social services.
(3) Internationalizing Our Campus
NTHU has officially established the Office of International Affairs to administer our international programs. These include: I. internationalizing our campus, II. expanding foreign admissions, III. promoting international faculty and student exchanges as well as cooperative research projects. To facilitate the recruitment of international students, NTHU has developed an innovative and successful program by enlisting the support from the industrial sectors. In this new program, our partner companies provide scholarships for foreign students when they are enrolled and opportunities of internship/employment after their graduation.
(4) Improving Learning and Research Environment
NTHU is making concerted efforts to further improve our teaching learning and research environment. NTHU has constructed a new classroom building with the generous donation from the Delta Electronics Company and a new Learning Resource Center with the support from Macronix International Company. In addition, NTHU has started the construction of an interdisciplinary laboratory where core research facilities and equipments will be installed to provide easy access and greater efficiency.

Nodd is a place that empowers people to come together for a confluence of ideas and conversations. We believe if people don't feel safe they can't contribute to knowledge or listen to another person's point of view. The following rules help everyone on Nodd to have a safe experience.
"Nodd Platform" or "platform" refers to the app, website and/or our offline events/experiences; and their respective services such as chats, registration etc.
Our principles require that people treat other people with civility, respect, and consideration. Assume that others are also trying to make it a great resource. Respect opposing or differing opinions, beliefs and conclusions. Try to listen to and understand others you may disagree with. Encourage others on the site to also be welcoming and respectful.
Attacking people or content
Personal attacks are not allowed on Nodd, nor are disrespectful or insulting attacks directed at other people's content. People should be civil and respectful in disagreement with others and should not (1) make attacks or otherwise disparage other people, (2) refer to other people's content with insulting or disrespectful language, (3) harass others or (4) advocate self-harm, even in a joking manner. These behaviours hurt the Nodd community and deter users from helping to create a better resource.
Do your best to see the world from the perspective of the person who posts on our app or the Nodd platform. It is often not helpful to criticize or challenge the fundamental beliefs. For example, in responding to the question "Is it OK to only go to church on Easter?", the following answer would be considered disrespectful and is not allowed: "There is no God and religious rituals are a waste of time." Use good judgement and be empathetic. Answers and comments that challenge the fundamental beliefs of a Nodd user will be held to a very high standard.
Comment threads & how to disagree in comments
In general, comment threads on Nodd are interactions among strangers. Given that another person may be new to Nodd and/or doesn't know you, we require a higher level of politeness than other interactive platforms where users know one another and/or where more adversarial social norms are established and tolerated. Our policy is to ensure that comments do not discourage or intimidate other people on Nodd.
Disagreement and debate on Nodd is encouraged and is often important to making the page more helpful. It is OK to disagree as long as your comments are civil, respectful, and polite, and as long as you give the impression of assuming good will on the part of the person you are disagreeing with. A good way of framing this test is: "If I am new to Nodd and / or don't know you, would it be reasonable for me to perceive your comment as hostile or disrespectful toward me or what I've written?" The answer should be 'No'.
In multi-comment threads where there is significant disagreement among people, a person should stop commenting on the thread before creating the reasonable impression that they are harassing, attacking, and/or bullying another person.
Examples of behaviours that violate the policy include:
Harassment is defined as offensive behaviour that appears to a reasonable observer to have the purpose of adversely affecting a targeted person or persons. The intended outcome may be to make using Nodd unpleasant for the target, to undermine them, or to discourage them from using the Nodd platform. Examples of harassment include (but are not limited to): (1) making threats, (2) repeated annoying and unwanted contacts, (3) posting the personal information of another person, (4) using sexually explicit, profane, adversarial, or flirtatious language toward another person if such language would likely make the person uncomfortable.
Hate speech
Users are not allowed to post content or adopt a tone that would be interpreted by a reasonable observer as a form of hate speech, particularly toward a race, gender, religion, nationality, ethnicity, political group, sexual orientation or another similar characteristic. Questions and question details about generalizations in these topics should be phrased as neutrally and respectfully as possible.
Retaliation is not OK
It is never OK to violate the policy, even in response to another person who has violated the policy. Please note that the policy also pertains to content posted by users who no longer use Nodd.
Racial and ethnic slurs
Using any of the words on Wikipedia's list of ethnic slurs is not allowed in questions, answers, or comments, unless the purpose is to ask a sincere question about the usage/background of the word.
Block first before reporting violations
If you feel that another person is violating this policy with respect to you or your content, you should block them in addition to reporting them to moderation.
Respect the Rights of Others
Identity and Deceptive
Your Nodd profile should use your real name or legally incorporated business name and use accurate and truthful credentials. Do not use Nodd to impersonate another person, act as another entity without authorization, or create multiple accounts.
Intellectual Property and Personal
Do not post content that infringes any intellectual property or personal right of another party. Writing taken from another source should be properly attributed and block quoted.
Respect the Nodd Platform
No Spam
Do not use Nodd to post or attract spam. On Nodd, spam is defined as one or more questions, answers, posts, comments, or messages whose purpose appears to be to direct traffic to external commercial sites while providing little or no value back to the Nodd Community.
The following are examples of behaviour that may be considered spam and are subject to removal/suspension:
If you're unsure if your content is considered spammy or unwelcome, contact the moderators of the community to which you'd like to submit.
To report spam, please contact our team through the app by using the 'Send Feedback' option on the app or our contact portal
No Malicious or Illegal
Do not contribute viruses, malware, and other malicious programs or engage in activity that harms or interferes with the operation of Nodd or seeks to circumvent security or authentication measures. Do not use Nodd to engage in unlawful activity or to promote illegal acts.
Abide by Other Nodd Policies
Follow Nodd's other policies, which Nodd may add or change from time to time. Know more about it here
Reporting Problems
If you see something on Nodd that you believe
violates our guidelines or policies, please report it to us using the 'Send Feedback' option on the app, or via our contact form.

Beautifully Dated...It Adds to the Film.
"Petulia" is one of the best American films of all time. It should beranked with "Citizen Kane" and I'm not being sarcastic.The beauty of the film is how dated it is. Some films that "define" orcapture a certain period of time very well often appear very dated later onand lose their effectiveness ...
Forgotten classic from the 60's
In many ways, this is a plot less, jumble of the movie, but at the sametime there is something really fantastic about it, and some movies arebetter off jumbled up cause its fitting, never more so than in the caseof "Petulia." George C. Scott plays a recently divorced man whowillingly begins a semi-a...
Petulia you fool ya.....that was the original tag line
I saw this film when it opened and recently bought the video andwatched it again.I remembered being very moved by the characters and the pairing ofJulie Christie and George C Scott. Christie was so young and Scott wasalso still quite young as well. They had great chemistry. I didn't knowthat Shirley...
Nothing says heartbreak like Petulia
I've never seen a film which captured the confusion of love gone wronglikethis. The kaleidoscopic editing can be a distraction but it also helpscreate the torment of the main character as his life slowly ceases to makesense.Stunningly photographed by Nicolas Roeg, and a clear influence on hislaterBA...
Inexplicably overlooked
Certainly one of the top films of the '60s, this film was overlooked(misunderstood?) at its release and has yet to be "rediscovered."Lester'suse of flashbacks and forewards is a little confusing at first, but it'salso a vital element in what makes this film so worthwhile. Theperformances are first-...
Absolutely Cool
I adore this film and I'm so surprised that it doesn't have a higher scorefor user votes. I stumbled on this film on cable and was mesmerized.It'struly is fabulous - if it sounds like I'm gushing over it, it's becausethat's precisely what I'm doing. Julie Christie is just awesome in thisfilm. She...
Richard Lester's Masterpiece
Lester's "serious" film is a stylistic and cinematic masterpiecethat -likemuch of Lester's work- has been underrated for decades. "Petulia" featuresthe performance of a lifetime for Julie Christie and stunning work byGeorgeC. Scott and Richard Chamberlain.This film is amazingly shot by Nicholas Roeg...
Petulia is a movie of suggestion and inference, something rare for moviesofits time.The aimlessness of its cast only hints at darker, neurotic motives. Itseemsthe players'purposelessness is the point; not so. Characters have plans but don't knowor admitthem. This film uniquely rides on nuances, from...
I've been thinking of this movie a lot of late
I was reviewing Julie Christie's career on the net, and, of course,came across one of my favorite's. As expected, the leads are thebest...over time and effort. I saw it the year it was released. Itstill stays with me...clearly and distinctly. From Chamberlain toKnight and Joseph Cotton, everybody st...
What a long strange trip this has been
I could not give a wide range recommendation for this film. If youdon't like abrupt flashback edits and a story that unfolds slowly, thenthis is not for you. However, if you can hang with the film you will berewarded for your effort with some truly bizarre moments. There areimages from the film that...
Bizarre, Different and ultimately Poignant and Wonderful
Tonight was my first ever viewing of this film by Richard Lester. Asthe movie began, I was somewhat thrown off, as the editing is somewhat"jumpy" and the story is presented out of sequence, so it's rather likepieces of a puzzle coming together. The film is both set and shot in 1967 San Francisco and...
Christie magnificent in Richard Lester's masterpiece
Julie Christie is unforgettable as the lost and abused wife of an insanehusband chillingly played by Richard Chamberlain. Looking for love she throwsherself at the equally lost George C. Scott. John Barry's subtle score addsa gentle, poignant edge to the package....
Me and the Arch Kook Petulia
1968 was a remarkable year in the history of cinema. Films asPasolini's "Teorema", Anderson's "if...." and Kubrick's "2001: A SpaceOdyssey", among others, reflected the times of sudden and often violentchanges people were experiencing all over the world. "Petulia" is amongthose motion pictures, but ...
Here's that Resnais day.......
I may be about to annoy a lot of very nice and very clever people whohave taken the time to comment on "Petulia" eruditely and sincerely. Ihave read them all and even the ones I disagree strongly with are well- argued and,in the spirit of fairness have marked them up positivelyfor their style if not...
what is it about Petulia?
What, exactly, makes Petulia such a great movie?Is it the ravishing Julie Christie, who never seemed more appropriatelyout-of-place? The kismet-touched production, which was somehow atHaight-Ashbury at the right time? Maybe it's the editing, the fracturedjuxtaposition of images that both disorients ...
Archie Bollen(George C Scott, very good)is a square peg in a verycircular world. He seems to be a Waldo amongst flower children. There'sa scene I find humorous(..while others might find strange and/orpathetic)that shows Archie in the middle of a crowd of hipsters dancingin a psychedelic hall as some...
Self-satisfied, pessimistic grandeur...though its better moments linger in the memory
Critically-lauded drama from fashionable filmmaker Richard Lester iscertainly handsome enough, although it doesn't initially appear toleave its audience with much but a sour aftertaste. A divorced,frustrated doctor--who has taken up with an exasperating, unhappilymarried young woman named Petulia--q...
Delightful & disturbing gem of a film
I stumbled across "Petulia" late one night somewhere on cable and quicklybecame entranced by the mixed up, alarming and sensitive story. JulieChristie and George C. Scott are amazing in this tale of bad marriages andmistakes. Richard Chamberlain, who is chilling to look at no matter whatthe role, ...
Sadly, "Bad Timing" this is not
In 1980, Nicholas Roeg (who served as the cinematographer on this film)made a groundbreaking, stunning portrayal of a dysfunctional romancetold in fractured, elliptical narrative fragments called "Bad Timing".In many ways, "Petulia" serves as a predecessor to that wonderful film,as it tells a simila...
A con job
Someone obviously likes "Petulia," the 1968 film directed by RichardLesterthat I recently watched on video. Leonard Maltin, in his "TV Movies andVideo Guide," calls it one of the decade's best films, and a few of thecontributors to the Internet Movie Database heap praise on the thing. Ifitisn't al...
Self-Consciously Offbeat Period Piece
Petulia opens with a shot of a middle-aged woman in a wheelchair, thencuts to a sixties' rock club featuring a very young-looking JanisJoplin. The sixties counterculture definitely torpedoed middle-agedwomen. Their husbands, like Archie, the middle-aged doctor played byGeorge G. Scott, have the luxu...
" What does one do with morals, when they are used to hide surface wounds? "
The 1960's were years of radical change, deliberate rebellion andoutright discarding of many rules. This film called " Petulia " is oneexample of the deception of established but hidden lifestyles. It tellsthe story of Petulia Danner (Julie Christie) a young, fashionable, butvery married woman with ...
this seems to have more than a touch of cinematographer, Nick Roeg
Despite the sweet title and the presence of Julie Christie, or perhaps,because of, this is not the pleasant movie one might, or might not haveexpected. Certainly when I first saw this upon release, having seenLester's early b/w films, I was expecting another slightly artyavant-garde outing. But no, ...
Peculiar Petulia
A very striking film from director Richard Lester that combinesCassevettes' realism, Kubrick's clinical detachment, and Resnais'fragmented film style. Set against a San Francisco that seems inspiredby Felini as well as Antonnioni's BlowUp, Petulia, released the sameyear as Cassavettes' Faces and Kub...
When Julie Plays The Rumba On Her Tuba
Petulia is one of those films that some critics find creative becauseit takes the story plot line and presents it in a non linear manner.We're all supposed to think that's creative when in fact all it is isconfusing. This is what passes for art.That being said had the film been presented in a straig...

Besides designing and constructing beautiful structures, A/E/C firms must be actively focused on two things in order to survive the environment in which they find themselves;
Understand how the industry is changing and how to get out in front of those changes
Ensure that their teams have the help and support they need to meet project deliverables without killing themselves or each other
Firms are dealing with a lot today – hyper-connected clients, new delivery models, increasingly complicated projects, emerging technologies, and tightening timelines. As I've watched how these variables are impacting teams and firms, something is clear;
The only way to counter complexity is to simplify
Firms need to be clear as crystal on three things;
Where they should be focused
How they should be organized
How they must work together
All three areas take sizable thought and consideration to get it right. Focus on the wrong things and unintended consequences arise. Organize ineffectively and workflow and communication bottlenecks form. Lead teams differently and fiefdoms and silos emerge.
Taking inspiration from the art world we've created a process to help you refine your firm's vision and organize your internal efforts to achieve business results. We call it Business By Design. The process is centered around five organizational design principles – focal point, contrast, movement, unity, and rhythm. These principles help you create a thoughtful vision, impactful partnerships, and streamlined execution. They help you foster environments where people feel connected and where processes and ideas flow easily.
We have a 45-minute Business By Design introductory presentation that we would be happy to present to you and your team. We'd like to show you how you can create a beautifully designed organization.
"To design is to devise courses of action aimed at changing
existing situations into preferred ones." - Herbert Simon

"Tom, thank you so much for taking my case. It was very comforting to know you had my back at every turn. I enjoyed your concise explanations when complex items hit me head on. And when you spoke metaphorically, it eluded volumes of my fearfulness.
You have an absolutely fantastic team with Natalia & Jane. It felt to me, because they were so "on it", that I was your sole client. Please express my sincerest gratitude to them both.
The mediation was an insightful & amazing experience. Life is a compromise, isn't it?
"Mr. Keating handled our personal injury case with the professionalism and care that was needed. His knowledge, experience and sensitivity in handling this elderly victim is excellent. As the guardian/POA of the insured party, I feel I made the right choice in choosing Mr. Keating. I have since sought his advice and counsel on other matters."
I was involved in a motorcycle accident. I had minimal coverage on my motorcycle, spent five days in the hospital and with a young child and another one on the way, I needed help. Thomas Keating came highly recommended to me through his work on my coworkers case. I called him while I was still in the hospital and he was quickly able to begin work. Thomas Keating prepared me well for my first deposition and calmed my nerves as we neared the proposed court date. We settled outside of court only weeks before the court date for a figure well above what I initially expected. Thomas Keating gave me closure in a very stressful situation and I highly recommend him and his firm to anyone seeking a well experience trial lawyer.
My wife hired Tom to represent her in a personal injury case and had such a great result, there was no question as to who I was going to hire to represent me when I was hit by a drunk driver years later. It appeared at first that the defendant who hit me was not insured. However, Tom was able to find a small loophole in the insurance policy that although never proven, put pressure and doubt on the defendant's counsel which resulted in a favorable settlement to me where there likely could have been nothing. I would recommend Tom because he is very experienced and works very hard for his clients.
I was apprehensive about finding an attorney for my accident claim and friends and family had no recommendations. Since my family had used the Freitas Law Firm I decided to check Tom Keating, Jr. out. At my consultation I was impressed when Tom told me he has represented both sides in insurance claims litigation. As I had recently become self-employed my financial loss was going to be difficult to demonstrate, but Tom seemed very comfortable with representing me. He guided me through the entire process, from gathering the documentation to preparing for my deposition and subsequent mediation. Tom's attention to detail, knowledge and professionalism were key to obtaining a settlement which all sides felt was fair. Tom Keating has my highest recommendation for accident and injury cases.

Avvo.com PERSONAL INJURY, MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT 5.0 stars Posted by Charles May 24, 2013
Mr. Keating was especially patient and reassuring while preparing for deposition, and showed great sympathy for my predicament during a distressing time. He was very flexible in scheduling appointments around my work schedule. He often conferred with other attorneys and an accident re-constructionist to prepare the best possible legal strategy; I felt like I had a team on my side. I was completely pleased with the outcome of the case. Mr. Keating was instrumental in negotiating affordable medical payments. The support staff is exceptionally competent and professional. They reply to correspondence and phone calls in a timely manner. They went the extra mile in recovering correspondence that was misplaced in the mail. TOP NOTCH!

Lip Moisturiser and Eyeshadow Shimmer!
love it
sanagt2 suka texture dia. bau sangat sedap. buat bibir makin halus dan lembut. tetap akan beli bila sudah habis.
I love it!!
The texture of this lip balm is bomb. It is very smooth and creamy!! It glides effortlessly on the lips without any dragging of the lips. There is no grittiness in the texture of the lip balm. It is non-sticky and feels very comfortable on the lips. The formula is very lightweight and does not feel waxy or heavy on the lips. The lip balm does not come with any SPF. Nevertheless, it is great to be used under the sun because it is very moisturizing and hydrating. Suitable for people with dry lips.
Lip savior, though not my favorite color.
I used to use them on a daily basis and my lips don't peel off as often. It's slim and easy to be carry around that I shove them into my purse or pencil case. Though after multiple application the pink shade turns out to be really pink and it doesn't look good on me (my skin is pretty yellowish) if I keep reapplying it, but would recommend it for its moisturising effects!
I'd'd also use it if I were suddenly asked to take photos so it'll give my lips a little more color, and actually, sometimes when I misplaced my blusher or eyeshadow, I'll dab a little of this product on my finger and apply it lightly on my cheeks/ edge of eyes and it'll give me a very light shade of pink that I like.View Review
Not very mosturising
I'm going through my second tube now but it's not the most effective lip balm so I'm using less and less of it. This is my personal opinion and it may work differently for you!
Pros: I really like the sheer, natural colour it has! A really nice pink shade and not too intense for me too (I'm someone who likes a more natural look). Easy application, the size and shape of the balm are just nice.
Cons: It's not very moisturising and my lips do get flaky after the product dries out. It fades really fast too (like I can eat a small snack and it'll all be gone but then again, it's not a lipstick)
Overall it's not bad, I would recommend it to someone who is looking for something easy, handy and wants a natural pop of colour. However, if you're looking for something reaaaaaaally moisturising that'll give you bouncy, soft lips...Not really.View Review

The Coalition for American Business Skills is a diverse group of business leaders, organizations, and associations that support and recognize the economic value and cultural benefits of helping top students and young professionals from around the world experience the American workplace through immersive internships and training programs.
These cultural exchange programs provide individuals with unique exposure to U.S. business practices and perspectives through structured and guided work-based learning experiences. Equipped with enhanced skills and expanded networks, international interns and trainees return home, where their newly-acquired abilities are magnified, often reshaping careers and communities.
At the same time, American businesses, from Fortune 100 companies to startups to family-owned businesses and NGOs, benefit from access to emerging talent around the world. They bring international perspectives to their operations. Their knowledge and networks help to ease and expand opportunities for U.S. companies overseas.
International interns and trainees exposed to American host organizations, products, and services regularly reach back for them when they've returned home, directly supporting the U.S. economy.
Bolstering Business + the U.S. Economy
Interns and trainees exposed to American host organizations, products, and services regularly reach back for them when they've returned home, directly supporting the U.S. economy. Moreover, host companies consistently cite a multitude of short- and long-term benefits, among them:
Advancing Skills + Building Careers
Alumni of J-1 Intern and Trainee programs report a variety of career-related benefits as a result of their U.S. exchange experiences, including improved problem solving, adaptability to cultural differences, and working more effectively in a team.*

U.S. Internships Make a World of Difference for Women in Business | The Coalition hosted a special roundtable discussion on March 28, held at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, focused on how internships with American companies can be a game-changer for aspiring women entrepreneurs around the world.
A Conversation on Global Mobility + Exchange Programs | Business leaders came together for a Coalition kick-off call and luncheon on February 28 to discuss the program's benefits, chart next steps for this initiative, and recognize stellar a pair of stellar host companies.
There are several ways you can join and support our efforts to grow the Coalition into a powerful advocate for American businesses and their continued engagement around the globe through the J-1 Exchange Visitor Program.

- Two Democratic lawmakers want House Oversight Chairman Trey Gowdy to hold hearings on the Trump administration's travel practices.
- The Democrats want the hearings in light of reports on Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin's and Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt's travel habits.
A pair of top Democrats are pushing House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy to hold hearings on two Trump administration officials' "extravagant" travel habits.
In a letter to Gowdy sent by House Oversight Committee ranking member Elijah Cummings, a Maryland Democrat, and Democratic Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi of Illinois, the lawmakers pushed Gowdy to hold hearings on whether President Donald Trump's administration is trying to protect tax dollars when it comes to air travel.
The lawmakers made the request in light of recent reports involving the "extravagant" flying habits of Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt.
The Democrats cited documents that showed Mnuchin had spent nearly $1 million in taxpayer dollars spread out over eight flights aboard military aircraft. They also mentioned reports that Pruitt spent roughly 300,000 on a series of trips. Those stories followed late 2017 and early 2018 reports that former Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price, former Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin, and Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke had either spent lavishly on private flights or made questionable air-travel decisions.
"The extensive use of noncommercial aircraft by multiple members of the Trump Administration is disrespectful to the American taxpayers who foot the bill for these expenses," the lawmakers wrote in the letter, which was provided to Business Insider. "It is unacceptable that the White House and several agencies have refused to provide our committee with the documents we need to conduct our oversight responsibilities."
In February, Gowdy pressed Pruitt for documents related to his travels, but Pruitt missed the deadline to turn those documents over earlier this month. Gowdy, a South Carolina Republican who is leaving Congress after the midterm elections, has made similar requests of other Trump officials too.

ovarian cysts are nearly always benign, but rarely they are malignant.
There are no detectable early signs of ovarian cancer. The growth has to become quite large before it is detected, by which point the cancer is advanced. Later there may be abdominal pain, swelling or the presence of a hard lump. There may be frequent urination, occasional breathlessness, weight loss, constipation or vomiting. Some of these symptoms can be found as the result of other non-cancerous conditions, so don't automatically jump to the worst conclusion if you are experiencing them.
Contributory factors
Ovarian cancer is more frequent among women in their 60s, but can develop from the mid-30s onwards. There is probably a genetic component to the disease, those with a family history of ovarian or breast cancer seem to be more at risk. It also seems to affect more women who have never been pregnant and not used oral contraception.
Preventative action
There is no satisfactory general screening procedure as is routinely available for cervical cancer. However, those women with a family history of the disease might benefit from screening for the gene associated with increased risk. You should bring such a history to the attention of your doctor.
Given that pregnancy, the use of contraception or the use of hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) seems to provide some level of long term protection against the disease, consideration might be given by your doctor to providing oral contraception or HRT as a preventative measure in such cases.
Where there is felt to be a high risk of developing the condition, consideration might be given to the removal of the ovaries as a preventative measure. This may be done when a women feels she does not wish to have any more children or following the menopause.

A really common item, which strangely I had never got round to getting one of. These were manufactured by the millions and the last ones weren't distributed until 1920. There's a great summary here of their history. These boxes were an idea that was based on the reception to the Queen Victoria ones from the Boer War, example here.

Novelty Hitler MoustachePosted in Propaganda Items, Toys with tags Fuck Hitler, Homefront, United States, WW2 on July 22, 2018 by The Dude
A little big of home-front propaganda. Probably American due to spelling. Late war and part of the dime store effort to make a penny while appearing to support the war effort.
WW1 Ridgways Tea Souvenir TinPosted in Odds & Ends, Propaganda Items with tags Propaganda, Ridgways Tea, Souvenirs, United Kingdom, WW1 on May 12, 2018 by The Dude
When war broke out in August, 1914, many companies rushed to get souvenir premium items onto the market before it was all over by Christmas. Basing their hopes on the bounty that was earned by the chocolate companies during the recent Boer War, Ridgways put out this patriotic tea tin in 1914. Obviously manufactured before the reality of war hit home, the lithographs include a fanciful cavalry charge, a nursing scene, a homage to Baden-Powells Boy Scouts, Sir John French, Admiral John Jellicoe and finally the soon to be famous and then dead Lord Kitchener.
WW2 War Gas Detection KitPosted in Gas Masks with tags Gas Warfare, United Kingdom, WW2 on March 24, 2018 by The Dude
Neat little item from the UK. This personal kit was issued to Army and Airforce troops and was used in conjunction with an air sampling pump. This one has a mix of dates, 1943 and 1944. Luckily for everyone involved the Germans did not use war gases on Western troops. I have another kit along the same lines, although that one is a training kit, here.
From the Imperial War Museum is the following description… "Tin, instructions, carded thread, utility pencil, yellow tube (2 parts) containing 22 plastic rods, blue tube (2 parts) containing 15 plastic rods, yellow tin (2 parts) containing 2 packets of circular paper pads, blue tin (2 parts) containing 4 packets of circular paper pads, glass tube containing granules and stoppered with cotton wool held in cardboard tube and metal ring. Rectangular tin with hinged lid and DETECTOR, VAPOUR, POCKET, MKII inscribed on the top of the lid in black, the tin is painted a dark yellow colour, inside the lid is an inscription entitled MUSTARD GAS VAPOUR, the inside of the tin is separated into four main compartments where the tin's contents are contained including: instructions attached to tin by a length of string, carded white thread, utility pencil, yellow tube (2 parts) containing 22 yellow plastic rods, blue tube (2 parts) containing 15 clear plastic rods, yellow tin (2 parts) containing 2 packets of circular paper pink pads, blue tin (2 parts) containing 4 packets"
Luneberg War Crimes Trial PassPosted in Paper with tags Belsen, Camp System, Josef Kramer, Luneberg Trials, Nuremberg Trials, War Crimes on March 18, 2018 by The Dude
The Luneberg Trials began on 17th September, 1945. Officially know as the "Trial of Josef Kramer and 44 others", this was also known as the Belsen Trial. This is a day pass to that trial issued to Regimental Quartermaster Sergeant Frederick Birchall of the 4th Dragoon Guards, for the 11th of October 1945. I also have an IMT day pass here. The trial resulter in Kramer and ten others swinging from a rope.
Eisenhower Jume 6th order of the DayPosted in Paper with tags Canada, DDay, Eisenhower, France, Normandy, United Kingdom, United States on March 18, 2018 by The Dude
Drafted in February, 1944, this printed version of Eisenhower's order of the Day for June 6th, 1944, was distributed to all 175,000 members of the Allied Expeditionary Force. This one came from the estate of a Birchall group I picked up. I have the President Roosevelt version here.
German Ball Shrapnel from the SommePosted in Ammunition, Missiles & Projectiles, Odds & Ends with tags France, Germany (Imperial), The Battle of the Somme, Thiepval, United Kingdom, WW1 on December 10, 2017 by The Dude
Shrapnel and shell fragments accounted for a large proportion of those killed and wounded in WW1. Those blown into the ether by high explosive to one side, artillery accounted for around 70% of casualties. These six balls were recovered from the Thiepval Redoubt on the Somme and are German in origin. Thiepval was a slaughterhouse on the first day of the attack and, despite early success, took a savage pounding from German counter-fire.

When Kendall Jenner was announced as the cover star for the 10th anniversary issue of Vogue India, it looked like she might actually get away with it. But the Internet didn't agree. Twitter users are tearing the decision to use Kendall for the special edition to shreds. Some even think Kendall had her skin darkened to look more like an Indian woman for the cover.
"If you compare it to her past covers, you look at them and she's definitely bronzed into an Indian face," Harnidh Kaur told CNN. "In a country where you're struggling with colorism and shade discrimination, to see that — it's very insulting." Whether or not Kendall was darkened with makeup, many were critical of the choice to use Los Angeles-born Kendall in a country that, according to CNN, struggles with an "obsession with whitening creams and light skin."
Indian Twitter users expressed how insulted they felt by the cover. Some pointed to famous Indians like Priyanka Chopra who would've been a better fit. A few pointed to the 5th anniversary edition of the same magazine, which featured several famous Indian women. Others asked whether there was no one among the 1.2 billion people in India who could've been used instead of Kendall.
Criticism wasn't limited to India; jabs came from all over the world. Users once again questioned Kendall's professional judgement. Some wondered when Vogue India might make a Pepsi-style apology to Kendall for the gaffe.
See what people had to say about Kendall's Vogue India cover below.

IS Permission Email Marketing In Trouble And Is RSS The Answer
"Permission Email Marketing", the only way to market your business via Email without getting yourself into trouble and giving you the ability to stay in touch and build a ongoing relationship with your customers and/or subscribers.
The only question is... is email still a reliable vehicle to deliver your marketing messages to your potential customers and/or subscribers?
With the rising concerns of SPAM, Blacklisting, Email Filters, and CAN-SPAM laws, it's getting Harder and Harder for legitimate "Permission Email Marketers" to reach there Target audiences with there Product or Service offers.
The end result is... "Time Wasted" and "Loss of Profits".
Is your online business suffering from this?
Only you can answer that.
Email used to be the MOST effective form of direct marketing online at one time before everybody started abusing it and there guidelines.
Don't get me wrong, email still is effective, the question is... how effective?
The benefit to marketing with email was that you were able to get your marketing message infront of your Target audiences within a matter of minutes with a single click of your mouse, which at one time made MANY marketers "Buckets-Of-Money" literally over night.
Email WAS the answer at that time, but, what's the solution for the future of "Permission Email Marketing"?
Is there an answer to this rising problem with Email?
I'll give you three letters... RSS!
Yes, there is a solution for "Permission Email Marketers" and/or for any online business owner who uses email to stay in touch with there customers and/or subscribers and that is RSS(Rich Site Summary or Real Simple Syndication).
RSS is the NEW technology on the block(though its been around for quite some time) and is transforming the Internet and how businesses communicate with there customers and/or subscribers as we speak.
The BIGGEST benefit you'll receive by incorporating RSS into your online business is... your customers and/or subscribers will receive 100% of your Product and/or Service offers.
I'm going to say that again, "your customers and/or subscribers will receive 100% of your Product and/or Service offers".
No other online technology offers this benefit.
Just imagine the increased response to your offers, which in turn will convert into more Sales and Profits for you and your online business.
Rest assured, you could sleep at night knowing that your messages are reaching 100% of your Target audience without the worry of SPAM filters mistakenly marking your email as "SPAM" and that all that time you spent putting your offer together didn't go to waste.
Would you then consider RSS?
I think you would. But, that is just my opinion.
There are many others benefits to using RSS which you can read about in a earlier article I wrote by clicking on this link -- http://www.internetwondersezine.com/article_15.html -- since there are to many to list within this article.
Things are changing online, so we must change with it and adapt any new technologies we can in order to get the most out of our time and online businesses.
So, with that said, if your a "Permission Email Marketer" and your not happy with the results your currently getting from using "Email", then you might want to consider switching to "RSS".
100% delivery rate is unheard of with Email, but, is GUARANTEED with RSS(Rich Site Summary or Real Simple Syndication).
