Take a fantastic variety of glorious scenery, from fern-filled rainforests alive with birdsong to soaring mountains, bottomless fjords and golden beaches. Add in friendly locals, knock out wines and imaginative cuisine using fresh local ingredients. Is it any wonder that New Zealand tops the dream destination polls time after time?
Holidays in New Zealand are the ideal way to escape the UK's winter chill and have a once in a lifetime trip, too. And you can arrive fresher and less jet-lagged by adding in a couple of day in vibrant, tropical Singapore en route. For the best value and enjoyment of this distant and delightful country, I recommend choosing one of the excellent escorted tours in New Zealand that offer stress-free, comfortable travel, congenial like-minded company, the services of an expert tour manager and entertaining, knowledgeable local guides.
To whet your appetite, here are just a few of my favourite sights and experiences awaiting visitors on New Zealand holidays.
Beautiful Bay of Islands
Lush green islands with white sand coves surrounded by sparkling blue water in the warm, sub-tropical climes of the northernmost reaches of North Island make the Bay of Islands perfect for exploring by boat. The area is also steeped in history, so exploring the Bay of Islands is a great start to all tours of New Zealand. Captain Cook landed here in 1769 and in 1840 the Treaty of Waitangi, the founding document of modern New Zealand was signed between Maori chiefs and the representative of Queen Victoria. On a cruise among the 140 islands you'll have very good chances of seeing dolphins and possibly orca or Bryde's whales too.
All Aboard the TranzAlpine Train
One of the very best ways to enjoy a country's scenery is by train and the TranzAlpine from Christchurch on South Island's east coast to Arthur's Pass high in the Southern Alps is one of the most memorable rail rides you'll ever take. After crossing Canterbury Plain scattered with sheep under a big sky, the train climbs, crossing steel bridges over deep gorges, chugging through short tunnels and emerging to dramatic views of the rushing Waimakariri River below. Arthur's Pass, amid beech forest, high in the mountains, was used for centuries by Maori hunting parties, and from here the track descends through the five-mile long Otira Tunnel down to Greymouth on the west coast.
Wonderful Wineries
New Zealand's award-winning wines are renowned for their purity, vibrancy and depth. Of all the major wine regions, Marlborough stands out for stylish and exciting Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir. At the top of South Island, protected by the high Richmond Range, basking in around 2,400 hours of sunshine a year, conditions in the Marlborough region are perfect for ripening grapes. You'll see rows of vines on the plain spreading down to the sea as you arrive from the North Island on the ferry and find enticing boutique wineries, often with gourmet restaurants on site, offering cellar door tastings around the towns of Blenheim and Renwick.
Memorable Milford Sound
Narrow Milford Sound is the most spectacular of the South Island's 15 fjords and without a doubt a leisurely cruise along its ten miles has to be experienced to understand why it is a red letter day on all good New Zealand escorted tours. Sparkling on sunny days, Milford Sound is even more atmospheric just after a rain shower when the mountains seem to rise from the mist and tremendous waterfalls tumble down sheer cliff faces. The most picture-perfect sight is Mitre Peak, more than a mile high, reflected in the still water. As your boat approaches the sea don't be surprised if dolphins race alongside.
Maori Festivities and Feasting
An invitation to a marae, the meeting ground at centre of Maori village life, is a wonderfully enriching experience on New Zealand tours. After the traditional welcome of pressing noses and foreheads, your hosts will perform songs and energetic dances – including the ferocious Haka war dance famously performed by the team at the start of All Blacks rugby matches. Next comes the hangi, a traditional feast of meat, fish and vegetables, slow cooked in a deep pit over hot rocks. You could be lucky enough to see skilful demonstrations of wood and greenstone carving, weaving and basket making, too.

If there is a shortage of blockchain expertise at this point, what happens when the Banks and Asset Managers start to utilise this technology to its full extent?
The number of job adverts on LinkedIn for blockchain-related positions has more than trebled in the past year, illustrating how demand is booming for people with the skills to harness the technology that underpins cryptocurrencies. Experts say demand for blockchain expertise is far outstripping supply, making it one of the hottest areas for technology recruitment.

The Front Range Urban Corridor is a perfect place to call home. Just to the east of the mountains, you'll find a populated area where residents enjoy all the ranges in weather throughout the year, but are conveniently guarded from severe storms by the mountains themselves. The Front Range offers a wide variety of weather throughout the year, from warm, beautiful summers perfect for hiking, biking and swimming to winters that bring enough snow for skiing and snowboarding, but the risk for severe storms is very low, so you will be able to take full advantage of your Naturally Bright Patio Cover every day of the year, if you wish!
Our Coverage Area
Denver is Colorado's capital city, with roots as an Old West town. Today, it is famously known for it's close proximity to skiing from October to May. Residents can enjoy other activities throughout the year and are lucky to live in such a beautiful city! We can definitely handle acrylic patio cover installation in the Denver area, but you may not realize that our services extend to the following areas as well:
Sometimes called "Camp Collins," Fort Collins is located directly north of Denver and receives much of the same weather, including lots of sunshine!
Offering a wide range of activities spanning from symphonies to movie theaters and breweries, distilleries, art galleries, fly fishing, national parks, and over 150 restaurants, Longmont, CO is a great place to live as well. Remember, we do commercial patio covers as well!
Known as the "Gateway to the Rockies," Loveland boasts 300 days of sunshine each year. Can you think of a better reason to install a patio cover that blocks 100% of the sun's UV rays?
Boulder, CO, located in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, is just a few hours' drive from all the state's best ski resorts. It sees a fair amount of snowfall each year, which can be enjoyed comfortably from a Naturally Bright Patio Cover!
Although Thornton was a planned community, it has come into its own since 1952. An acrylic patio cover may be just the thing to transform your basic Thornton home into something one-of-a-kind!
Not surprisingly, Westminster residents give their city some of the highest quality of life, quality service, and financial ratings in the state! There are many local events throughout the year in Westminster, and after you're done taking in all the entertainment, food, and fun, the perfect place to unwind is under your Naturally Bright Patio Cover!
Arvada became famous as the home of Colorado's first gold strike in 1850. Since then, it has been home to inventors, athletes and business people who appreciated the temperate weather and pacific views.
Living in Lakewood means that there never has to be a dull moment! Conveniently located, residents are near Denver and the Rockies, but Lakewood has a strong economic system of its own, with a large central plaza downtown. When you want to get away from the hustle and bustle, a high-impact, lightweight acrylic patio cover can provide the retreat you need!
Nature lovers are in luck in Littleton, CO! There are paths for biking all over the city and from Littleton all the way to Denver! This quaint city is near Chatfield State Park which offers boating, paddle boarding, and camping opportunities. The weather is always beautiful, which means more time outside, even when you are at home, under your Naturally Bright Patio Cover!
This city stayed rural despite the development of Denver to the north during the Colorado Gold Rush. Residents still enjoy a slower paced lifestyle than their Denver neighbors. For these residents, an acrylic patio cover is the perfect way to enjoy more of the outdoors throughout the year.
As the area leader in acrylic patio cover installation, we are so proud to offer a product that is safe, durable, and attractive. Naturally Bright Patio Covers are strong, water resistant, and come in a variety of heat-blocking options, depending on your needs.

They're shutting off so much of the market and denying so many people the chance to enjoy these well formulated, affordabe gems, but I guess it is what it is. But still, damn, it sucks!

Eating disorders are characterized by unhealthy approaches to eating, weight and exercise. But they are more than a refusal to eat healthy; eating disorders are complex psychiatric disorders. If your child has an eating disorder, he or she also might have problems with self-image, anxiety and even depression. As many as 30 million people in the United States have an eating disorder. The causes of eating disorders continue to be researched. Biological, sociological, psychological and cultural factors can all play a part in the development of an eating disorder.
Signs of an eating disorder
Kids may struggle with eating disorders for some time before anyone notices. Here are six signs that may indicate your child has a problem:
- Intense fear of weight gain or being "fat"
- Extreme concern with body weight and shape
- Unusual rituals or rules around food or eating
- Refusal to maintain body weight at or above a minimally normal weight for height, body type, age, and activity level
- Repeated episodes of bingeing on large amounts of food
- Purging after a binge, by self-induced vomiting, laxative abuse, or excessive exercise
What to do if you think your child has an eating disorder
If you suspect your child might be struggling with an eating disorder, consider seeing your pediatrician or a mental health provider who specializes in the treatment of eating problems right away. The sooner you seek help, the better the prognosis. Ignoring the warning signs could potentially compromise your child's health. Anorexia can lead to dehydration and malnutrition, while bulimia increases the risk for heart and esophagus issues. Normal adolescent growth and development can be affected. Girls with eating disorders throughout their adolescence can experience compromised estrogen production and bone density. Production of testosterone and other hormones can be delayed in boys. All children can experience delays in their physical, mental, and emotional development as a result of an eating disorder. Treatment is available, and can include medical treatment, nutritional counseling, and individual, group and family therapy.

10 of the Best Wordpress Ecommerce Plugins for Your Vaping Website
10 of the Best Wordpress Ecommerce Plugins for Your Vaping Website
The domestic vaping population has ballooned substantially from when the CDC first reported in 2015 that there were over 9 million vapers. Couple that with the 4.1 billion people who access the internet on a regular basis and the value of vape shop owners selling their products online becomes crystal clear.
For many vape shop owners, selling their wares online isn't a revolutionary concept. Doing it effectively, however, is often a point of confusion.
How can you set up an elegant online shop quickly? How can you make it so your vaping products rise to the top of Google search pages?
If you're asking yourself those questions and you've built your vaping website through WordPress, we've got answers for you.
Below are the best WordPress eCommerce plugins you need to be using to boost sales right now.
1. WooCommerce
No storefront plugin works better with WordPress than WooCommerce.
Because it's built by the team who built WordPress.
WooCommerce lets you set up fantastic online storefronts in minutes. It offers buyers robust checkout options and gives sellers incredible control over the way they present their inventory to consumers.
What's even better is that if you have unique checkout needs like estimating shipping costs depending on a customer's address, WooCommerce offers extensions that let you add that functionality into your checkout process.
2. Yoast SEO
What good is having a store online if nobody can find it? Not good... not good at all.
To make sure that your vaping products start trickling up to the top of search engine results, you're going to want to install Yoast SEO. Yoast SEO is among the most powerful WordPress eCommerce plugins that automatically update your site's content so it can more easily be parsed by Google.
The better Google understands your content, the more favorably you'll rank on results pages.
3. WPforms
WPforms is an easy drag-and-drop tool that allows eCommerce store owners to quickly build forms customers can submit. You can create things like contact forms, feedback requests, mailing list opt-ins and more with just a few clicks.
If you own a vape shop and customer engagement is important to you, WPforms is a must.
4. OptinMoster
Most people who stumble onto your website are going to click away in a few seconds. To try and catch those people just before they leave, OptinMonster is an excellent tool.
OptinMoster will target people who are about to abandon your website with special offers or opt-in requests in hopes of getting them to join your mailing list. If they join, you'll forever have a way to keep them in your sales funnel.
5. Envira Gallery
If you want to show off your vaping products in a beautiful way, try Envira Gallery. Envira makes setting up wonderful product galleries simple and helps customers get better acquainted with what they're buying.
6. Backup Buddy
eCommerce stores are targeted by cyber attackers. Sometimes the attacks are meant to steal customer information. Other times they occur just to remove you as a competitor.
To make sure that your site never goes down permanently, use Backup Buddy to save copies of your site you can boot back into at any time.
7. MemberPress
Is your vape shop is offering a membership service? Maybe you're considering sending out an "eJuice Flavor of the Month" to subscribers?
Whatever your service provides, MemberPress makes managing your subscriber's accounts and website access simple!
8. Shopify Connect for WooCommerce
Are you leveraging the powerful sales tool that is Shopify and looking for a way to integrate it into your WordPress site? Shopify Connect is the solution you're looking for.
With Shopify Connect, you get all of the flexibility that comes with WooCommerce/WordPress while also being able to sell through Shopify and its many social media integrations!
9. Quick and Easy FAQ's
The title of this tool on our WordPress eCommerce plugins list says it all. Quick and Easy FAQ's lets you set up frequently asked questions pages in minutes.
This can be particularly helpful if you have sections on your website dedicated to helping buyers use the products you sell. It can also be great if you have an area of your site where beginning vapers can learn the basics of vaping.
With Quick and Easy FAQ's, your customer support team will get pressure taken off of them since buyers will be able to answer many of their own questions!
10. MonsterInsights
Understanding your customers is critical to getting out ahead of the 1.9 billion other websites online you're competing with. To that end, MonsterInsights is our favorite analytics WordPress Plugin.
MosterInsights allows you to integrate Google analytics into WordPress' back-end and presents that data in ways that are much simpler to understand than if you just accessed it through the traditional Google Analytics portal.
That increased understanding means you'll be able to more confidently source products and better cater to your audience!

text: Home Insights Back to Insights Understanding the mapping process from R/3 to S/4HANA 10 March 2016 Tweet Share Ana Porfido S/4HANA Consultant A vital part of building the business case for SAP S/4HANA is to help organisations envisage how their current SAP R/3 processes will look in an S/4HANA landscape. The mapping of 'as-is' and 'to-be' scenarios plays a key role in a successful implementation, ensuring that all existing business processes will be included and well-orchestrated in the new system. In addition, revisiting existing processes provides a business with the ideal opportunity to identify inefficiencies in their current processes and drive innovations based on the functionality of the new technology. This ensures the offerings of S/4HANA are maximised for the business and further value is added. Below, I've gone through a simple mapping exercise to provide an illustration of the differences, starting with a receivables management scenario in which standard R/3 transactions are used. Accounts Receivable Accountants normally kick-off their day with the analysis of overdue items within their portfolio of customers, either through the Customer Line Item Display (FBL5N) or the Collections Worklist (UDM_SPECIALIST), or both. Once they have the big picture of overdue items, they start contacting customers to clarify the individual situations. If there is a reason why an invoice is not being paid, then the Accountant will probably want to create a dispute case (UDM_DISPUTE) or a promise to pay through the Collections Worklist once the customer commits to a certain payment date. If the invoice is finally paid, then the Accountant will be clearing the incoming payments against the corresponding open items (F-32) or eventually posting the incoming payments manually if need be (F-28). On the other hand, the Accounts Receivable Manager checks the progress of collections throughout the day using the Collections Worklist (UDM_SUPERVISOR) and opens disputes (UDM_DISPUTE). In addition to this, they should keep an eye on relevant KPIs such as DSOs and promises to pay, which are usually monitored using BW reports. How does this process look in S/4HANA? In the world of S/4HANA, all of the functionality described above can be covered with just a handful of 'tiles' per business role. Each 'tile' is a Fiori app which have two key elements: Real time visibility of the progress of receivables. Easy-to-consume user interface. The following images show the tiles that would allow us to cover this functionality using the two roles detailed above: Accounts Receivable Accountant and Accounts Receivable Manager. Accounts Receivable Accountant Process Collections Worklist As the name of this app suggests, it is the equivalent to R/3's Collections Worklist, as can be seen in the image below. The layout is certainly easier to utilise and navigate than transaction UDM_SPECIALIST and some features have been conveniently relocated. By drilling down to the Customer level, the full contact history is now available from a pop-up by simply activating the feature "Show Contact History" from the bottom right of the screen below. Notes are visible on the top right, along with the "Due Date Grid", which is also a pop-up that gives us a bar chart representation of overdue items for this customer using the red/green Fiori colour-coding. The "Payments" tab has been replaced by "Cleared Items" which shows the details of the invoices that were cleared in real time. Invoices, Disputes, Promises to pay and Resubmissions are the other tabs in this app, all of them with the number of open items visible and a greatly simplified user interface. Manage Dispute Cases In this example, this tile shows all the dispute cases that are assigned to me as "Processor" but there is one app per disputes role available, as well as an "Open Dispute Case" app to raise dispute cases regardless of your role within the process. Again, the app is very easy to navigate and the link to other relevant apps is made available from the pop up shown in the image below: The "Related Apps" feature allows the user to jump into other apps that will help with the resolution of the dispute case. All the facts that are covered by UDM_DISPUTE are also available by double clicking on any dispute case and this includes drilling down to business partner, invoice, billing document or any other object that is configured at dispute case type level. The other three tiles in the Accounts Receivable Accountant dashboard will allow the user to Display Customer Balances (FBL5N), Post Incoming Payments (F-28) or Clear Incoming Payments manually (F-32) to support his daily Collections and Disputes tasks. Accounts Receivable Manager The dashboard for the Accounts Receivables Manager is illustrated below and is entirely focused on KPIs. The main focus here is to give the Manager an accurate picture of Receivables on a single screen. Let's look at look at what each of them can provide: Collection Progress This works out the percentage of open/completed items in the Collection Worklists of all your specialists and therefore gives a good indication of the specialists' performance, distribution criteria for collections groups, feasibility of collection targets, etc. Within this app, collection figures are shown according to segments, processors and countries, among other slices. Open Disputes and Promises to Pay show the amount of money that is being disputed and has been promised by customers. Both apps show all the relevant details of the dispute cases and promises to pay with a variety of options in terms of layout and graphical representation. The app Days Sales Outstanding show the average number of days it takes to collect money from customers. Thresholds can be predefined and the details of outstanding receivables can be displayed using a number of different characteristics. Finally, Overdue Receivables show the ratio of overdue amounts receivable/total open amounts receivable and, again, thresholds and warnings can be configured. Overdue receivables can be analysed with this app by due periods, company codes, customers and AR Accountants, amongst others. Last but not least Fiori apps and SAP GUI transactions are of course not mutually exclusive and, if this suits your needs, business processes can be mapped to both apps and transactions as part of your roadmap to S/4HANA because they can happily coexist. An excellent source of information for available Fiori apps and all that can be achieved with them is Fiori Apps Library, where they are listed by roles, as well as other useful categories, such as industry and line of business. As highlighted by Mark Chalfen in Enabling business transformation with S/4HANA, the move to S/4HANA is not an upgrade to a higher system release or version. It is an opportunity to re-design more efficient business processes and this can be way easier than you think!

Cross site scripting (XSS) prevention
XSS can be quite a nasty thing, so we need to ensure that we escape all the necessary input to prevent it.
Any user input or variable that a user can manipulate, when printed on a page must be escaped, so any malicious javascript is neutralized.
It's very very simple to do this
It makes a lot of sense to do it when you are developing a tool/page as is easier to know which outputs have to be escaped and which ones don't.
Here are the the general rules:
1) If the text input was entered in a text label, then you must escape the input when printing it. Here's an example:
... <c:out value="${sessionMap.title}" escapeXml="true"/> ...
Here' the title of the activity was just printed without being escaped. So if the teacher would have entered malicious javascript as the activity title, then the javascript gets executed.
By using the <c:out value="${sessionMap.title}" escapedXml="true"/> the input gets escaped and the javascript is printed on the page but it doesn't run.
Another way to escape a text input is by using the fn tag:
... <option value="${fn:escapeXml(taskListItem.title)}" selected="true"> ...
Some times is handy to use the fn tag as you can see up here when inserting the var output into a value.
You can use either.
2) If the input is done into a Textarea (no CKEditor)
For instance, we use textareas for students to enter their reflections after completing an activity.
So for this, we use the lams:out tag that Fiona Malikoff created.
... <lams:out value="${sessionMap.reflectInstructions}" escapeHtml="true"/> ...
For this, you must also include the escapeHtml attribute set to true. As that will escape any HTML entered into it.
3) CKeditor inputs
As the input is already HTML when inserted into the CKEditor, this is the input that you don't want to escape. So when printing out CKEditor inputs, you still use the c:out tag, but instead of doing escaping it, you set this as false:
... <c:out value="${videoRecorderDTO.instructions}" escapeXml="false"/> ...
See the instructions field above. The escapeXml="false" is a must.
4) Json data
As we use some jqgrid tables what require dynamic ajax calls to get json data, there's no easy way to escape this in the front end (in some cases). For instance for the Email Notifications in monitor (see http://goo.gl/HIY4xW), the json data gets sent directly to the table and it just use the data as is given.
So in these cases, it's better to escape the data on the back end using Apache commons StringEscapeUtils:
... import org.springframework.web.util.HtmlUtils; ... cell.put(HtmlUtils.htmlEscape(user.getFirstName()) + " " + HtmlUtils.htmlEscape(user.getLastName()) + " [" + HtmlUtils.htmlEscape(user.getLogin()) + "]"); ...
If it is a multiline entry, you will probably also need to do a textValue.replaceAll("\n", "<br>") to convert any newlines to the correct HTML for rendering on the screen.
Do not use org.apache.commons.lang.StringEscapeUtils.escapeHtml(String) as this method does not support emoji characters.
text input form tag => <c:out value="fooBar" escapeXml="true"/> or ${fn;escapeXml(fooBar)}
textarea input => <lams:out value="fooBarTextAreaInput" excapeHtml="true"/>
CkEditor => <c:out value="ckeditorInput" escapeXml="false"/>
Json data => use HtmlUtils.htmlEscape(fooBar) in the web action.
With these 4 rules, I think we are pretty much sure that we can get tackle XSS attacks. But I think this is quite tricky and in the future we might find some more places that we haven't thought.
Testing javascript script
You can use the following script to see if you can insert it into a page
<script type="text/javascript">alert("This javascript popup should not be here");</script>

Two posts in one day!
Just a quick update. We did go to Calumet, but they were out of pretty much everything. The woman behind the counter (who aside from being just adorable is, more importantly, also a highly-skilled photographer and a most expert salesperson) exclaimed, twice, "Oh, I'm waiting for one of those too!" when asked for something. The only thing we ended up buying was a packet of Brilliant Museum photo paper for my wife to play with. I just looked in my stash and I had a packet, but I already used some of it and I think she wants to do some comparison prints.
So I went on their website and ordered the stuff I wanted. They're switching filter manufacturers (their old manufacturer is Hoya, which produces material in Japan, and their new one is B+W, which produces material in Germany.) So their store-brand filters are largely on clearance - I got a circular polarizer for my wife for less than half price, and a 2-stop ND filter for both of us ditto. The only thing back-ordered was a .6 graduated ND filter I want mainly so my wife can do landscape work with it. They're back-ordered EVERYWHERE, for some reason. Not that I mind waiting, it's just odd. I guess that the recession hasn't hurt demand for 2-stop graduated ND filters. Go figure.
In case you wonder why I need all these ND filters, the regular 2-stop ones are essentially a way to restrict the amount of light that gets into the camera so you can slow down your exposure, or open up your aperture, even in bright light. There comes a point where, if you're outdoors in full sun, even at ISO 100 equivalent sensitivity, you just can't use a long shutter speed and/or a large aperture because the camera just can't handle all the light. This filter is essentially sunglasses for your camera, reducing light intake without affecting color. The back-ordered one is graduated - at one end, it's clear, and at the other, it's 2 stops darker, and from one end to the other it gradually gets darker or lighter depending on which way it's turned. This allows you to shoot things of extremely different brightness without blowing one side out, or making the other side too dark. The classical application for this is shooting landscapes - you hold the filter so that the light end is toward the ground and the dark end is toward the sky. Then you can still have a rich blue sky and a well-exposed ground.
We also went to the Blick store down the road from Calumet (interestingly, both Calumet stores in Illinois have a Blick store down the road) and she got a sheet of silver foil matboard. She looked pretty funny holding it in her lap all the way home, but we were in my truck and I was afraid it would get wet and/or beaten up if we put it in the back. (It has been raining here all day.) She plans to experiment with this for black and white pictures.

One Day Old
I woke up at 5 (because they took my blood pressure Again). So I took a nice shower and boy did I feel better. I put on my own pajamas and went down to the nursery to get Cassidy. Chuck checked in with us at about 6 and came in to visit at about 7.
Zac was at Grandma's again. They came in around 11 and Zac stayed with us all day, even when Chuck left to take care of the dogs. My brother came in to meet his new niece.
Zac loves the cafeteria food (insert eye roll) and he also loves going across the hall to the "goodie" room and getting me goodies. From ice chips and water, soda or jello packs and crackers.
It's very quiet in the maternity ward. Chuck said when they brought Cassidy up from the OR yesterday she was the only girl in there with about 9 boys. Today there is one other girl. I get up and walk around every hour or so. I have no pain, just a bit sore. I slept much better, they only woke me once for blood pressure. YEAH

John Henke is worried about the possible impact of Chinese divestment [or even diversification] on the U.S. economy:
The markets can adjust to a slow leak; a quick pop might turn the disequilibrium into an immediate crisis.
I've been wondering whether the Chinese strategy might not be to create an US dollar bubble, so that they can engineer a sudden US economic crisis at a time strategically useful to China.
I think the American position is very much stronger than Mr. Henke fears. Consider the old saying: "If you owe the bank $1 million, you have a problem; if you owe $100 million, the bank has a problem."
China's strong-currency policy impoverishes the Chinese on average, but it creates more jobs (though each is lower-paying in dollar terms). That is, it spreads prosperity as widely as possible, at the cost of it being thinner than the most successful would like. The Chinese government is structurally bound to this policy, as it is their best tool for preventing widespread unrest.
In the markets, the USD yield curve continues to invert (i.e., rates are low at the long end) -- not the action of a trading community that expects China to soon be dumping long-dated U.S. debt.

Let's face it, we all love our children and want others to love them just as much. Especially their teachers because these are the people they will see almost as much as they see ourselves. I was in the trenches teaching high school for 14 years and Christa taught middle and high school for 12 years. We both taught in a wide variety of school settings (rural, urban, rich, poor, alternative, traditional). We have compiled a list of tips that will help make for a great year!
First impressions are important.
Have your kid at school on time. If your kid is tardy once in a blue moon, that is fine. However, the kids who are chronically tardy throw off the vibe of the class. As a teacher, I would get upset because I felt like it was rude and sent a message that you don't care about my time. When your child is late I have to spend extra time catching him up on what he missed. When they are young, we think the parent is lazy.
Don't let your kid miss a million days without a good reason. We get that there are valid reasons for kids to miss school. However, if you let your kid miss a ton of school just because they don't feel like going, that is a problem. Once again, it puts more work on us getting your kid caught up.
Follow the chain of command. If you have a concern with something in the classroom, please come to us first. Please do not immediately go to our principal. Just like in your place of work, there is a chain of command. Most problems can be addressed and solved by talking to us.
"You are picking on my child". This is something I heard throughout my teaching career on a few occasions. No, I'm not picking on your child. Your child does not follow rules, constantly disrupts the learning process, and feels that 100% of my attention needs to be devoted to them. If you get a call/email from a teacher, just know that YOUR CHILD is the problem. We don't have time to call parents/email them. If we do, then it is because your child has been given a million chances, warnings, and we have gone through an entire discipline documentation process. Please be supportive and help us solve the problem.
Don't bad mouth me on social media. Also, don't bad mouth a teacher in front of your child. It empowers them to treat the teacher negatively.
Don't overreact. Sometimes our parent instinct is to be protective, but if you overreact and come at us, we will be defensive. My sister April did this a few times and I told her, if you keep doing this, the teachers will not like your daughter. I had an instance with one of my kids that something happened. It bothered me, but I decided to wait and see if something happened again. Not confronting the teacher was a good move because she ended up being a wonderful teacher and loving my kid. I can't help think how the year would have been different if I would have confronted the teacher. Of course I am talking about "small things".
Be understanding…we will make mistakes…We are human.
Tell your kid to not correct a teacher…its embarrassing…Once again, we will make mistakes. Teach your kids the appropriate way to talk to a teacher about a mistake. Tell them to not confront the teacher in front of all the other kids, but instead privately at their desk. We will admit to our mistake and be appreciative that your child did not embarrass us.Random acts of kindness…we love it and appreciate it! A random thank you card or brownies or something small to say, "I appreciate you" is awesome!!!
We love when the students (especially older ones) write us thank you letters…these are cherished.
We love when you mention to our boss what a good job we are doing. A quick email in the middle of the school year takes a second and it makes our day!!!
Stay involved….check the online report cards…don't wait until your kid has failed to care….Stay on top of your kid…It is easier for you to keep on top of your one child..we have 30 kids in a class…I had 6 classes X 30 kids a semester…180 kids….Its hard to micromanage 180 kids!
If you are a jerk to us, we try not to hold it against your kid, but it is hard….
In general we love your kids and love our jobs. We have good days and bad days, but overall we are blessed to be teaching your child. We understand that teaching is customer service. You and your child are the customers. We will bend over backwards to help your child be successful. We will make special arrangements for our small children to be watched so that we can wake up at 5 AM in order to be at school early because your child is coming in for tutoring. We give up our lunches so that we can give make up tests. We stay late to tutor your kid because we want them to succeed. There are a few teachers who do the minimum, but just know that 99% of teachers do the opposite! We give up time on the weekends with our own families working on lesson plans so that your child has fun, interactive lessons.
What should you do if the teacher and your kid get off to a bad start? Is it too late?No, it is never too late!!! If your child and teacher get off to a rocky start, tell your child that they should have a heart to heart with the teacher and express how they want to have a good year. Also, tell them the proof is in the pudding. If they clearly are making strides to behave in class and work hard, things will generally get better.
My question for you, what is something you would add to the list?

I bought some Halloween costumes on sale from Disney. Not for me, of course, but for the dogs. I couldn't wait four months to see how they looked, so we tried them on and took pictures. When I uploaded them to the computer I found some other shots of Harley, of course, and some of my mom's siamese cat, Caelidh, and even some pictures of my cat, Bugsy. He's the long haired gray one. My favorites, though, are the ones of Dad sleeping, surrounded by half the household.

Context and Controversy: the Incendiary Potential of Public Art
Public artworks, selected and placed in public space as the manna of the democratic process, routinely incite controversy and conflict. How can negative responses and controversy towards public art be avoided, and more importantly, should it be avoided?
The words "public art" are a bit misleading, referencing both public spaces, which can be specified literally with an address or coordinates, and its indefinable audience called "the public", which could include anyone who potentially experiences the artwork over the course of its installation.
Public art is initiated by a municipality and placed in public spaces to provide free art for its citizens; most public artworks are installed permanently for a designated period of time. An artist is typically commissioned to create the work by a jury, which is representative of the interests of the municipality, and consists of engineers and architects who evaluate the safety and security of the artwork, community members who represent the interests of the artworks' neighborhood, and artist representatives who assess the critical and artistic merit of the artwork.
Public art projects that are chosen because of their palatability and neutrality are often criticized as being bland, and can be perceived as not having enough merit as an artwork. In addition, a jury selecting a public art project based on its generic and "safe" qualities can be deemed as a form of censorship; at minimum it does not inspire or encourage new perspectives for the community at large, or encourage new creative frontiers for visual artists.
Despite the collaborative and transparent nature of the juried public art process, public artworks routinely incite a controversial response, which can divide community groups, polarize opinions, and even result in the removal of the artwork to appease offended community members.
What makes an artwork controversial? The complaints of offense refer to religious, sexual, or political nature, or generalized opposition: "it's ugly!" Providing it does not violate any laws, personal tolerance level for art that depicts violence, nudity (once predominately accepted as a representation of the human ideal in public spaces, tolerance for figurative nude artworks has shifted over time), or outrageous visuals is an individual response. Personal tastes, cultural histories, and visual preferences vary to the degree of the number of persons consulted.
The expectation of the public should not be that they accept or even like all public art placed within their city. Individuals will find great meaning in some artworks, feel ambivalent to many artworks, and strongly dislike several projects. A successful and holistic public art program should aim to create and place artworks in public space that are diverse, challenging, interesting and stimulate cultural growth and discussion. Some of these works will inevitably incite controversy. Public opinion will evolve and change around permanent artworks over time as social norms, politics, and trends shift and change.
A public artwork that depicts nudity or aspects of the human body may be protested because it is deemed to be explicit, despite the prevalence of suggestive advertising, pornography, and the abundant number of historical artworks that depict nude forms. Similarly, violent and disturbing imagery and appropriated or desecrated religious icons can be found regularly on television, video games, movies, etc. throughout contemporary culture without receiving a parallel outcry.
A typical response to a controversial public artwork is a random or unexpected occurrence on the surface of the art. It is important to consider that controversy surrounding artworks often stems from mitigating political factors that capitalize on the undercurrent of the public forum surrounding the placement of public art, with positive or negative repercussions. Issues relating to the artwork, including location, iconography, space or size, symbolism, and municipal funds trigger or highlight ongoing political struggles for power within community groups.
This struggle for power within the public sphere is often related to designation of authority. Those who have authority to commission artworks are often assumed to have the authority to define or determine what is culturally relevant in a community group. Effective public art programs often have a variety of programming to ensure that a diverse range of public artworks are created in communities. These include; permanent public artworks with varied styles and mediums, impermanent public artworks which encourage acceptance of experimental public artworks, community public art programs which partner artists and community members in the creation of an artwork, and education and outreach programs which invite discussion and debate to help steer and guide the curatorial direction of the overall public art program. This curatorial or objective approach to accessioning art in the public sphere requires a close feedback loop of responding to and integrating the available subjective viewpoints for a truly dynamic and successful program.
Public art has traditionally been defined as "art in public spaces or places" – this definition is obsolete as it neglects the dimension of time. A favored term is "art in the public domain", which encompasses a greater scope of media in public art, including radio art, light art, performance, etc. and also conveys the impact of time on an evolving understanding of the artwork.
The context of a public artwork – its location, evolving meaning, and the effect of time – can change dramatically over the course of the artwork's installation and presence in a community. For instance, the impact of controversy on an artwork often does not result in its removal, but in fact increases the value of the artwork and dramatically increases its profile, rather than addressing or solving the issue which brought about the initial debate. Over time, many artworks that were deemed highly controversial are now revered. Similarly, artworks which are controversial in one location (i.e. in a country or state) may be easily accepted or greatly appreciated in another location. Within the realm of a city, sometimes an artwork can be relocated and the controversy absolved.
Most importantly, controversy in art, and especially the realm of public art, is important in pushing and broadening the boundaries of culture. Controversial works can inspire new ways of thinking, doing and being for citizens. A city should expect and accommodate controversial public artworks and its related ensuing dialogue, rather than strive to cover or avoid controversy, and in the process a city will become a dynamic, interesting, and stimulating place to live.

Scream Machine
Scream Machine is female-fronted industrial machine rock. Making serial killers, cannibals, murder, mental illness and general violence sexier since 2008.
Scream Machine is female-fronted industrial rock music. Monster music. Scary-Sexy-Satisfying. It is your soundtrack for the impending apocalypse.
Mixing dance beats and electro bass with more traditional percussion, industrial sounds, ominous guitars and Scream Machine frontwoman SinDelle Morte's alternately sexy and ripping vocals, Scream Machine is not your everyday mainstream industrial sound. According to SinDelle Morte, "A lot of the industrial and electronic music today sounds really over-processed and over-produced to us. It's INDUSTRIAL. It's not pop. It's supposed to be hard and heavy and gritty and nasty-sounding. We want to kind of get away from that over-processed sound."
According to one reviewer, "Zero is every bit as good as Flesh Is Law by Genitorturers." The albums ZERO, Devil Bitch, Sinister Flesh and We Are Revolution all hit #1 onVampirefreaks.com. Scream Machine receives play on many web and land radio stations all over the world such as Cyberage and Dark Essence Brisbane and in many bondage, fetish and S&M nightclubs, as well as many fetish venues, including London Fetish Fair and SPANK! Festival. Scream Machine was a featured artist on MyStage Music 5 times in 2009, was the theme song for the Halloween episode of horroraddicts and was voted "Best Band: Season 3" on HorrorAddicts.net .

You may not be a designer by trade, but you know what you like. Sometimes though, expressing your thoughts visually can be a bit of a problem.
So here are a few tips you'll want to remember to make your design choices stand out even more, while still remaining uniquely yours.
Too many colors can overwhelm a picture, so always strive to use four colors or less. These don't have to be completely different, even separate shades of the same color can turn out differently in printing.
Even though white shirts are cheaper to make, a light design on a darker shirt really makes it pop.
A simple rule that often goes overlooked: know your customer base, their needs, likes. Adjust your sales campaigns accordingly. If it's summer season, offer more bathing suits. If it's winter, more deals on sweaters.
This may seem like a no-brainer, but always use the best possible quality images you have. The better the image, the better it will look when printed. High resolution image files of at least 300 DPI (which stands for "dots per inch") are always used in printing high-quality products.
Unlike raster graphics (which are made up from pixels), vector graphics consist of points and lines, meaning they retain the same quality even when they're enlarged. These are usually created in Adobe Illustrator (.eps file), but there are several other alternatives, such as Inkscape, which is free. If you can't use an .eps file, the .png format is usually a good substitute.

No physical shelter means every dog is in an actual family environment, getting extra special cuddles and attention. Each foster family takes in a beautiful little soul into their home, acclimatizing them to people and situations that will help that adoptable dog find their forever home. Many of the dogs that enter into the adoption program are strays, homeless, abandoned and even abused. The love that they receive from the foster family is crucial to let that adoptable dog know they matter and that everything is going to be alright now.
The mission of the Best Friend Pet Adoption network is to love and care for lost or abused animals, make them know how a loving home environment works and, once that adoptable dog is ready, rehome them into loving, forever home. The expenses of fostering that dog, including medical expenses, food or anything else, are covered by the network.
BFPA runs solely on corporate and individual donations, so if you are not able to adopt or foster right now, please consider making a much needed monetary, tax-deductible donation to BFPA. It feels good to do good. Please do what you can to help the animals in BFPA's care; make a donation in memory of one of your furry friends that has crossed the rainbow bridge or make a donation to make another dog's future as bright as your pet's.
You can also help the animals by volunteering to help transport the adoptable pets to the vet, foster homes or adoption events, process adoption applications, return calls and e-mail of potential adoptive pawrents, photograph the adoptable pets for the website or help plan adoption events. There is so much work that needs to be done - anything you could do to help would be appreciated more than you know.
If you are interested in volunteering, fostering or adopting any of the adoptable babies, contact BFPA soon - your new best friend is waiting!

A common theme in today's media centers around zombies. People are creating action plans for what they would do is a zombie apocalypse were to occur. Supplies are being stocked up that would help sustain the population in case we were ever faced with these flesh eating monstrosities. Not only has this become an obsession that TV and movies have taken and run with, it's also being incorporated into other aspects of life. One such example of this was held last Saturday, October 19, 2013 in Miami.
The Zombie Rush 5K is an event that is sponsored by Ultimate Combatant and involves people dressing up as zombies chasing after participants, trying to pull flags that represent their lives. It's an event that I hadn't participated in prior to this event, so the anxiety levels were pretty high leading up to the actual race itself. I really had no idea what to expect. Personally, people/things jumping out of hidden places is not a favorite pasttime of mine - hence my dislike of haunted houses. Needless to say, the car ride down to Miami was a bit tense.
Finally, 9:30 am rolled around and it was time for us to begin! We were greeted with piercing sirens and clouds of smoke as we emerged from the storage unit. Also waiting for us was the first round of zombies. Dodging through grasping, flag-grabbing hands and stumbling runners, I was able to make it through unscathed with all three of my flags still securely attached to my belt.
As the race progressed, obstacles that had been strewn throughout the course were encountered. Mud pits, ladders, walls, tiling tubes, and sand pits were amongst the various objects used to slow down and challenge us runners. Along with the obstacles, groups of zombies were spread throughout the run, which called for random bursts of speed in order to survive. I managed to make it through all of the obstacles without losing a flag (I donated one to Nick because he continually lost his flags due to his lack of elusive moves/stupidity). That is until we reached the last group of obstacles.
By the end of the race, we were all exhausted. Between the random sprinting, daunting physical tasks, and the Florida sun/heat/humidity, energy levels were low and a precious commodity. The end of the race was comprised of a pile of tires, sand pit, water slide, and mud crawl before finally reaching the finish line. As we approached the pile of tires, we were met faced with 4 zombies all between the ages of 8 and 14 (aka small-children-with-ample-amounts-of-energy-chasing-tired-runners-and-ruining-their-no-lives-lost-streak). My luck had finally run out.
As we crossed the finish line, thirst-quenching bottles of water were grabbed, the rinsing off of mud and grime commenced, surviror tags were handed out, and t-shirts were attained. The race itself was a lot of fun and not as stress inducing as I had pictured it to be. Following the race, we headed over to Nick's sister's house for a proper shower and clean-up. From there, we grabbed some lunch at an awesome sub shop and then headed to our hotel for the night. We were meeting our friends Cassie and Jordan that afternoon and heading to a beer festival in nearby Coconut Grove.
After checking in, Nick, Hallie, and I strolled around South Beach for a bit, scouting out a possible plan of attack for later that night. When Cassie and Jordan arrived, we hailed a cab and headed to Grovetoberfest! I went last year and had another great experience this year as well! We met up with our friends Ashley, Ali, and Jen and enjoyed the over 200 various craft beers and ciders that were available for sampling. Three hours and ample amounts of free samples later, we were all ready to head back to the hotel to prepare ourselves for a night out in Miami.
We finally made our way out of the hotel around 11 pm after taking in a couple hours of college football and fighting over covers to keep from turning into icicles in the hotel room. The night started at Wet Willie's with a round of slushies that never disappoint! We then met up with Phetsada, Vanessa, Javelle, and Ali at The Clevelander, where we made our way up to the rooftop. The sights of Miami at night provided a nice background to the thumping beats and dancing bodies that littered the rooftop. The night was capped off with some fantastic pizza. All in all it was a great way to end a long, fulfilling day!

We will work with you to determine which social media would best fit your business and services and develop a strategy to implement those solutions.

"It was really an accident," Cecelia Webber admits in an interview with Modern Luxury, "I shot a nude figure against a black background and thought it looked so much like a petal I just went with it." And thus started her journey as a professional artist in hopes of dispelling much of the world's view of nudity as either "something erotic or disgusting," as she puts it.
Her work consists of only the naked human body, often her own, photographed in the most peculiar of positions then painstakingly overlaid using Photoshop to form the familiar shapes of petals, stamen and stem. So familiar the shapes are and so acutely formed that at first glance it is hard to tell that you're looking at naked people. Lastly, but always first in our book, she saturates the forms with stunning color. Her work pays great homage to nature: the beauty of the human figure and the shapes and colors that connect all living things.

Hi! Hopefully you are having a great summer. I hate to admit it but I am an Autumn person... especially when painting. My acrylics dry far too fast in the heat and my patience runs thin. My garden is growing faster than the weeds these days which is a good thing but it is keeping me busy putting food away for winter. I am a squirrel by nature I think. :)
On August 11th and 12th I will be setting my display tent up at the Originals Only show in Comox down by the marina. The thing I love most about this event is that it is specifically for fine artists, paintings and sculpture. It stands out on its own in the plethora of festivals on the island. I will have a few cards but most all will be original work.
I will have my smaller 12x4 canvases with me, (my newest series) and I am working on a few more at the moment in hopes to get them finished before the show. You can find these new works in my newest "Island Dweller Series" portfolio. And of course I will be bringing a selection of my popular westcoast paintings. If you stop by my booth I will explain the my journey of going from representational westcoast work to these fun "Art Noveau" pieces. So much FUN!
Alright! I am procrastinating...time to get out to the studio before it gets too hot again.

Top 5 Must-Do's Before Changing WordPress Theme
WordPress is the foremost choice of those looking to create a blog or website that stands out from the competition. The number of attractive wordpress themes and plugins allows users to create visually appealing blogs along with keeping their blogs completely secured from any unauthorized access. Since its inception in May 2003, WordPress has been catering to the needs of both personal bloggers and business owners.
In case you have been using WordPress for your blog or site, then you have also been using the various themes made available by WordPress. The best feature of WordPress is its ability to provide users with an easier way to switch themes for their blogs. The process just includes a few steps and within a few minutes, users can avail the benefits offered by the new wordpress theme.
However, prior to changing the theme for your WordPress blog there are a few steps to follow. These steps are important as they make the entire process smooth and easy else the users may end up losing some elements that might be important to them. The experts at the WordPress Technical Support have compiled a list of few things to do before changing your WordPress blog theme.
What Are The Things I Need To Do If I Want To Change The Theme Of My WordPress Blog?
The WordPress Customer Support experts have a list of five must-do things to make your transition from one wordpress theme to another smooth and easy. Kindly make sure to follow the steps cited below:
Make Notes Of Your Current WordPress Theme
A number of WordPress users often surf the internet to find solutions to their issues and find them in the form of snippets. These snippets are then added to the theme in the form of functions.php or any other file format. Such changes are hard to remember. The WordPress Support Service recommends to write down the additional code that the users add to these themes. Also, make sure to check the loading time of the current wordpress theme to compare it with another.
Do Not Forget Tracking
A number of bloggers often use Google Analytics or other services and many do not use plugins to add tracking codes. Some often open a footer.php and modify the codes. The WordPress Customer Service recommends copying and pasting the tracking code to your new theme.
File Backup
The experts at the WordPress Support recommend creating a backup of your entire WordPress blog that includes your blog posts, theme files, plugins and database. This will ensure that you have a complete backup record of your WordPress blog in case something happens.
Cross Browser Compatibility
Some internet browsers have a different way when it comes to rendering your WordPress website, especially Microsoft Internet Browser. You want to make sure that the design looks good on different browsers as some wordpress themes have a tendency to break in certain browsers. The WordPress Technical Support experts recommend testing your WordPress site on different bloggers as they all have a tendency to render things differently.
Monitor Bounce Rate
Make sure that you are monitoring the bounce rate of your WordPress site after you have switched themes. A number of wordpress themes are friendlier than others when it comes to providing a good navigation experience to visitors. In case the bounce rate has increased then work with the selected theme. The WordPress Support suggests adding related posts, widgets or a call to action.
Do you want to know more on how you can smoothly transition from one theme to another on your WordPress site? Contact the WordPress Customer Support via toll-free number +1-877-863-5655.

Registration: Meeting With Your Advisor
Know where to go to ask for help. (Click to view more)
There are a few different types of advisors at Cal Poly Pomona.
Professional Staff Advisors
Professional staff advisors are full-time college-based staff. This means that they are typically located in a central area of your college and have broad knowledge of the majors, but they are experts in campus policies, procedures, resources, and class selection. You can find contact information for the professional staff advisors in Student Success Central's Advising directory.
Faculty Advisors
Faculty advisors are experts on their curriculum. They can help you with class selection, but they are also your gateway into your major. They can help you with research and internship opportunities, as well as career options and graduate school. You can find faculty contact information on your department's website.
Support Advisors
International students can also find information and resources at the International Center. EOP students have access to an EOP academic advisor. If you're a Bronco Athletics student-athlete, you have an advisor that manages your academic support program and monitors your academic progress in relation to NCAA, CCAA and university requirements.
Bronco Advising Center
Bronco Advising Center (BAC) counselors can answer your questions about your class registration, academic record, financial aid package and account balance. You can also come to the BAC to ask about general advising and the CPP Pledge & California Promise programs. You can find their contact information on the BAC website.
Transfer & Graduation Advisors
The Registrar's Office Transfer & Graduation Advisors (TGAs) can answer questions about transfer coursework, graduation and your Degree Progress Report. You can find their contact information on the Registrar's Office website.
Be prepared for an advising session. (Click to view more)
Know where the office or center is located -- you can use the Advising directory to find your college's advising center, and the CPP Directory for contact information.
Schedule an advising appointment -- some advisors prefer for you to schedule an appointment in advance through email, and some have drop-in hours. Visit your academic department to find your faculty advisor's office hours, or visit your college advising center's webpage to find out how to best get in contact with a staff advisor.
Know what to bring with you -- don't show up to an advising appointment unprepared. If you're attending an advising session in order to decide what to take next term, you should already have an idea of what courses you might register for. You should also bring a copy of your flowchart and curriculum sheet, and know what requirements you've already completed. Double check your advising center's webpage for any worksheets you may need to complete before coming in. If you have a lot of questions, you might want to write them down so you don't forget them. Finally, you always need to know your Bronco ID number in case your advisor needs to look up your academic record.
Update your MyPlanner. (Click to view more)
In your conversation with your advisor, they might make adjustments to your plans for the term. After your advising session, make sure to update your MyPlanner with any changes you discussed so you know what to register for.
If you're in the CPP Pledge or California Promise programs, turn in your priority planner. (Click to view more)
Students who are in either of these graduation programs need to submit a snapshot of their MyPlanner for the upcoming term to be considered for priority registration. For more information, visit the CPP Pledge and California Promise website.
