Captain James Lovell
I filmed and edited an interview of Captain James Lovell from Apollo 8, 13, and the Gemini 12 mission for the Adler Planetarium's Mission Moon exhibition.
Mission Moon invites you to experience America's first steps into space through the eyes of NASA's Captain James A. Lovell Jr. and his family. Captain Lovell's story is full of twists and turns, setbacks and successes. It's the story of a national hero, but it's also the story of a kid from Wisconsin, who loved rockets. It's the story of a husband and father whose supportive family helped him become extraordinary.

Can you tell us about Apollo 8 and what that flight meant to the country?
What was it like sitting in the Gemini 12 capsule as Buzz Aldrin performed one of his spacewalks?
What was it like spending two weeks in space with Frank Borman during Gemini 7?
As backup commander for Neil Armstrong, what was it like watching Apollo 11 launch toward the Moon?

Postimees journalists: Management dictated topics, tone, headlines ({{contentCtrl.commentsTotal}})
Journalists at Estonia's largest daily, Postimees, sent a letter to their management in March in which they complained that too much of the paper's content and tone was being dictated by corporate officers, and that the marketing and advertising departments interfered with their work.
The letter complained that both the management of Postimees as well as the group's marketing and advertising departments interfered with the work of the editors. Signed by representatives of the paper's different teams, the letter's eventual version was printed off and handed over, but a draft was made available to ERR's online news on Tuesday.
Management dictates topics, tone, headlines
The management dictated who the editors should be critical of, including not only the direction, but also the tone and headline of articles, the letter specified. The main complaint is the role of marketing and advertising: journalists were expected to write favorably about companies belonging to Eesti Meedia, the paper's parent company. One of the letter's examples was sales director Rivo Põldoja's intervention to make Postimees promote an entertainment program on Kanal 2, a TV channel owned by the group.
"As far as we know, for the first time in the history of Postimees, we are told what to write about and how. We are dictated who to pick to pieces, so to speak, and how critical the article needs to be," the letter stated.
The representatives of the editors pointed to Sven Nuutmann, CEO of Eesti Meedia. Journalists at Postimees that ERR was able to talk to confirmed that this is the first time that the corporate level is this aggressively interfering with the paper's editorial work.
Journalists not allowed to write about Eesti Meedia's competitors neutrally
One of the examples of management interference that got Postimees' editors to act was Nuutmann's order not to report anything about the Kuldmuna ("Golden Egg") awards, the annual awards event of Estonia's union of marketing and communications agencies.
Roughly half a year before the awards, Bestmarketing.ee, an industry portal, had run an article critical of Postimees. Their involvement in arranging the Kuldmuna awards along with the Password conference last month was enough for Nuutmann to cancel 15 conference passes intended for Postimees journalists, demand the money back, and ban the paper from writing about the events.
"We are not allowed to write about competitors or persons connected to them neutrally; we are pressured into writing promotional articles about companies connected with [Eesti Meedia], even though in reality there is no news, and no point. We have to endure certain people's fits of rage and being called on the carpet if orders are not met, or not met diligently enough," the draft of the editors' letter stated.
Tomberg: "No conflict at all"
According to sources known to ERR, the final version of the letter was less emotional, and contained more specific criticism. Journalists were bothered the most by the corporate demand to do content marketing for Kanal 2 and run these articles prominently on Postimees' website.
The letter was handed over on March 27, and at that point had been signed by the chiefs of all of Postimees' desks, representing the paper's editors on the whole. A meeting with Nuutmann followed on the same day, in which the CEO justified his actions rather than seeing a problem in them. Apparently editor-in-chief Lauri Hussar as well as Eesti Meedia's content and programs director, former Enterprise Estonia CEO Hanno Tomberg, are trying to act as mediators in the currently very difficult climate.
Tomberg only commented that there was "no conflict at all," as it has already been resolved. Hussar told ERR's online news on Wednesday that in organizations where different media and companies came together, tensions were inevitable, and needed to be addressed.
"That the editors love to write letters is customary at Postimees. That we are one group [of businesses] and that this is Eesti Meedia means that we have to bring our activities together. As we have unique TV programs, we have to make better use of this," Hussar said, commenting on editors' complaints about the interference of Kanal 2's programming.
Eesti Meedia's CEO, Sven Nuutmann, declined to comment.

Hale, Shannon. 2007. Austenland.
Jane Hayes is a thirty-something single woman in New York City. But she has a secret, a big secret. She's a closet Darcy-lover. It's something she's ashamed of really--but when her great-aunt Carolyn knocks over a houseplant and finds the BBC DVD set of Pride & Prejudice, well, her secret is out in the open. Six months later, the unexpected--although not too horribly unexpected happens--her great aunt dies leaving Jane something in her will. It seems that Carolyn thought it fitting to send Jane off to England to visit her obsession up close and personal with a visit to the exclusive and pricey Pembrook Park where ladies masquerade around as if it's 1816. Jane doesn't want to go necessarily, but the tickets are nonrefundable. "Nonrefundable. It was a good, solid word, one you couldn't chew, one that only dissolved after sucking slowly." (16) But after she thinks about it for a while, she decides that maybe--just maybe--living out her fantasy for three weeks will cure her for once and for all. It's not normal to compare every man you date to the perfect Mr. Darcy.
A three week fantasy vacation. Three weeks of playing dress up. It is bound to be fun, right? Well, Jane finds it hard to live out Austen's works. Hard to stay in character. Hard to take it seriously. After all, while there may be three women guests who are paying for this charade, the rest of the cast are actors. And while it is fun to banter around with grumpy Darcy-like men, it is also very strange. Because--in the back of your mind--you never quite forget that they are being paid to act like Darcy. They're being paid to pay attention to you. Being paid to flirt with you. To stare at you. To declare their undying love for you.
Can Jane be cured? Is there hope for this Austen fan?
I loved this novel. I thought it very fun. And if you're a P&P fan too, then you'll be charmed as well.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a thirty-something woman in possession of a satisfying career and fabulous hairdo must be in want of very little, and Jane Hayes, pretty enough and clever enough, was certainly thought to have little to distress her. There was no husband, but those weren't necessary anymore. There were boyfriends, and if they came and went in a regular stream of mutual dissatisfaction--well, that was the way of things, wasn't it?
But Jane had a secret. By day, she bustled and luncheoned and e-mailed and over-timed and just-in-timed, but sometimes, when she had the time to slip off her consignment store pumps and lounge on her hand-me-down sofa, she dimmed the lights, turned on her nine-inch television, and acknowledged what she was missing.
Sometimes, she watched Pride and Prejudice. (1)

KJ's Greenthumb LLC did a landscaping project in my front yard, which required building a stone wall and relocating the front steps and sidewalk. I had a vague idea of what I wanted and Kevin had several ideas for the redesign yet he gave me plenty of options for my input. He was a great at keeping me informed as to the timetable to complete the job as the was not cooperative. Once we got started, the job was done in very good time. Kevin started very promptly in the mornings and he did a great job of keeping the area picked up as much as possible when leaving in the afternoon. He was very adaptable and able to adjust little things along the way as needed. The cost of the completed work was very comparable with the rough estimate he gave me at the beginning of the project. I am very pleased with the work and would definitely use Kj's Greenthumb Landscaping again.
Great job Kevin! Our garage addition tore up a large portion of our yard and left us with a 2.5 ft drop off from our new driveway to our yard. We had checked with Cedar River Garden Center about landscaping. They were full up for landscaping jobs, but they gave us Kevin's card. We called him. He explained that he had several jobs and it could be 6 weeks (or longer depending on weather) before he could get to our job. It was worth the wait! He came over in a couple of days to see what we wanted and give us an estimate. He gave us great ideas without being pushy, or completely changing our basic concept. He is mainly a one man show, but had a summer hire for part of the work. They worked extremely hard and very meticulously to make sure the retaining wall was perfectly done and it is beautiful! His prep work for the sod was so professionally done that when he laid the sod it was almost impossible to tell where it meets up with the rest of our yard. He patiently coordinated with our irrigation company to let them install the new sprinklers needed and fix the prior system. I highly recommend him to anyone needing landscaping work. In fact, while he was working on our project one man from a few blocks away was so impressed that he came over to get one of his cards to see about him doing some retaining wall work for him. Also, one of our neighbors, who is a contractor, liked his work and got one of Kevin's card to see about having him do some work for one of his projects.
Love our new wall and stairs!
Extremely happy! Very hard working and reliable
Thank you for the excellent work done on our landscaping. We love it
We are very pleased with the new brick patio Kevin helped design and install. What was once a simple cement patio is now an inviting outdoor extension of living space for our family to gather and enjoy. From adding sitting walls to lighting, Kevin listened to our ideas and offered helpful suggestions throughout the entire process. He is reliable, and an extremely hard and thorough worker, who gives great attention to detail. Kevin does all he can to please the owners with quality work. He even went above and beyond by being so kind to our dog by sharing dog treats with him, and throwing the ball to him. We highly recommend Kevin for your patio and landscaping needs.
I am so glad there are still some honest and hard working people in this world. I consider Kevin to be one of those people! Kevin is very easy to work with and will explain every step of the process. I did not know Kevin before we met but everything went smoothly start to finish. Kevin was always on time, usually early to the job site. I would highly recommend KJ's Green Thumb for any of your landscape needs.
First thanks Kevin for your hard work and job well done.
When we first called Kevin he was at our place within 24 hours to see what we wanted and offered suggestions. Soon after that meeting
he sent us an email with estimate and approximate date he could get started.
After accepting Kevins' bid we went over design again then to Kings to verify block and stones.
Once materials were ordered he started within the time frame he stated, which is hard to do considering supplier, weather & other unforeseen delays
1. Kevin was timely each day.
2. Always asking if to our liking as he went along.
3. Had materials like gravel, lime, sand and etc, ready for next day.
4. Always picked up before leaving & cleaned his equipment.
When completed he stopped by a week later to see if all was good & if we were satisfied.
Kevin is very polite,conscientious, and a communicator.
Thanks again Kevin for your job well done.
I'm very happy with the work Kevin's done for me. Most of it has been finishing the landscaping after other projects (retaining walls, city-installed sidewalks, concrete driveway) have been completed. This means he's great at fixing messes created by my lack of planning and other people's scheduling! He's also great at communicating throughout the project(s); offering a variety of options for me to consider and choose from; and following through with what we've agreed on. The results are wonderful. No more piecework look. Everything flows together and looks very finished. I plan to have Kevin work his magic on more messes around my property next spring.
Thank you It looks really nice
We absolutely love our landscape! Keep up the good work, we will be using KJ's in the future! Thank you again for taking pride in your work.

35 Inspirational Quotes On Studying
It takes an individual unique to be an educator a individual who cares for other folks, and aims to support students grow to their fullest possible. The free college is the promoter of that intelligence which is to preserve us as a nation. If we are to have yet another contest in the near future of our national existence, I predict that the dividing line will not be Mason's and Dixon's, but in between patriotism and intelligence on one sight, and superstition, ambition, and ignorance on the other. Now in this centennial year of our national existence, I believe it a great time to start the work of strengthening the foundation of the home commenced by our patriotic forefathers one particular hundred years ago, at Concord and Lexington.
Hoover's quote implies there is a lot more to a college than a straightforward building, and he's right. Although a school may possibly be comprised of concrete and brick and glass, it does so much a lot more than stand in a single location and offer the chance for an education to every single youngster. No, what the school does inside its walls, is only as very good as what the students of that college do outside the walls when it's time to go. Getting one's name on that developing is a symbol that you devoted at least some aspect of your life to feeding young minds and leaving your mark of progress on society. Even so, it's not the private honor of getting one thing, anything, named following you to which Hoover is referring. It really is the honor of realizing you have carried out all you could for the betterment of society. And schools symbolize a society's progress or its regression.
All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the very same tree. All these aspirations are directed toward ennobling man's life, lifting it from the sphere of mere physical existence and leading the person towards freedom. It is no mere likelihood that our older universities developed from clerical schools. Both churches and universities — insofar as they reside up to their correct function — serve the ennoblement of the person. They seek to fulfill this wonderful process by spreading moral and cultural understanding, renouncing the use of brute force.
If you are utilizing the graphics that I have made for these quotes about reading on your website, teaching weblog, Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, newsletters, or any other publication or educational matter, I would appreciate it really considerably if you would stick to appropriate copyright laws.
He may have lived in a different time and spoke a diverse type of English than we do right now, but you can not make it any clearer for people in the 21st Century than that. Our nation's very first president — the reluctant leader, who warned us about the dangers of party politics, and boy was he right about that a single! — George Washington believed that education was our salvation. When the program fails, so does the country.

When relatives ask me what I do in my office, I always reply, "I work in PR."
I don't really do PR work. Okay, maybe that's not quite accurate.
I don't do the traditional public relations work, where someone sends out press releases to media organizations and hoping they publish or cover these. I don't write press releases and I don't liaise with media people.
But I do build relationships between the company and our target audience through digital means.
"I work in PR" is easier to describe what I do because there are still people who don't quite understand how digital works, yun mga taong hindi active online. For many of them, digital is doing Facebook all day (which in my case is pretty accurate).
Colleagues know me as 'digital palengkera.' I invented the term in 2010 when I was still dabbling with social media. I didn't have the gall to call myself a 'digital marketer' because I was starting out then.
Four years later, I still don't want to call myself a 'digital marketer' because I find it pretentious. Sure, I have a solid track record taking care of the online presence of our brand.
Our Boss Daddy even told me recently na ito na yung naging equity ko sa office. Even the big bosses know me as Ms office digital. But somehow, I don't really see myself as a marketer. When industry colleagues ask me what I do in the office, I always reply, "I/we take care of the corporate brand." That's it. No fuss, no frills.
A couple of weeks back, we had a meeting with Boss Daddy and I presented some updates. Blah, blah, blah… Boss Daddy gave some instructions for me on how he wants me to be more involved in the digital and social media activities of other brands. He basically wants me to act like an overall auditor to make sure that everything we do is consistent and aligned, across all digital channels.
So I thought of a new term for myself (kasi wala akong magawa sa buhay. Hahaha!). Aside from digital palengkera, I now call myself SMS:
Ang saya, no? Hahaha! I don't want to call myself a social media specialist or some fancy-schmancy term like 'guru,' 'ninja,' or, 'expert.' I'm good at what I do but I'm not cocky enough to call myself any of these terms. 🙂
Oh, yeah. I Facebook, tweet, and IG for a living. Isn't that fun?

Profiling SharePoint
Published 14 May 2018
In IIS 5, your web application will always run under the ASPNET account. Make sure that the ASPNET account has permission to read from %ProgramFiles%\Red Gate\ANTS Memory Profiler 8\RedGate.Memory.Core.dll
If you have problems profiling SharePoint, see Troubleshooting SharePoint profiling.
ANTS Memory Profiler can profile managed code that runs on a Microsoft SharePoint 2007 or 2010 server.
To profile applications running on SharePoint:
- Start ANTS Memory Profiler and click
- From the list of application types, select IIS - SharePoint.
- Click
The list normally takes at least a minute to load, and can take longer. to load a list of SharePoint sites that are currently running, and select the site that you want to profile.
- If you want to choose a port to profile on, or change the user account your application will run under, click Show server options:
- If your application doesn't bind to a specific port, select Unused port and enter an unused port.
- If your application must use the port it currently runs on, select Original port (IIS will restart).
- By default, ANTS Memory Profiler profiles your web application as the Windows Local System user. If the Windows Local System user doesn't have the permissions to use your SharePoint site collection, select Manually specify ASP account details and enter an account with the required permissions.
This account must also have administrator privileges on the computer ANTS Memory Profiler is running on.
- If you want to record extra performance counters, click Edit counters and select the counters you want.
Move your mouse pointer over a performance counter to read more about it.
For more information about performance counters, see Setting up performance counters.
- Under Additional profiler options:
- Select Profile child processes to include any processes created by your application in profiling.
If your application has lots of child processes, this option will slow down your application.
- Select Track disposal of IDisposable objects to keep track of when IDisposable objects in your application are disposed.
This option will slow down your application slightly.
Select Profile unmanaged memory allocations if your application access unmanaged memory through P/Invoke or COM+, and you want to profile the unmanaged memory that your application uses.
(Not available in Windows XP / Server 2003 and earlier, or when profiling .NET 1.1 applications.)
This option will slow down your application by up to fifty percent, because a lot of additional information is being tracked.
- Select Make snapshots faster by leaving out object values if you've had problems with snapshots being too slow or too large.
You won't be able to see the values of individual instances, but references between objects aren't affected.
If you want to see the values of strings or the contents of arrays specifically, click Customize and deselect the relevant option.
- Select Profile child processes to include any processes created by your application in profiling.
The main profiling window is displayed, and your application will launch.If IIS does not restart correctly, use IIS Manager to stop the website and restart it once you have finished profiling.
On the timeline, you can see the memory being used by your program, along with any other performance counters you selected.
- When your application is in a stable state (ie is fully started up and ready for normal use), click
A memory snapshot gives you a detailed breakdown of the memory being used at that point in time, so that you can compare it with later snapshots.
- When you've taken at least two snapshots, you can start to investigate your application's memory usage. See Strategies for memory profiling.
SharePoint's API is still partly unmanaged. If you have been experiencing memory problems with SharePoint, you might find these MSDN articles helpful:

AST 1193 – Gains and losses, A Profit, Legendary Grade Weapon, Blood Terminator Bead
Similarly, the energy of both the Seven-colored Pellet and Golden Pellet were also increasing. Suddenly, a huge message appeared. Qing Shui stood there in a daze. He was stunned because even he himself wasn't sure whether this was a good or bad thing.
His physical strength had finally achieved thirty five nimbus. He proceeded to sense it only to find that the Seven-colored Pellet had helped him increase his physical strength by fifteen times. Unfortunately, the Buddha Statue turned into a golden star within his sea of consciousness. But in exchange for that, Qing Shui could now utilize the Divine Nebula Formation to attack.
A lot of the information in the messages which appeared in his consciousness previously were about the Divine Nebula Formation. The Golden Pellet within his Dantian was able to help double his strength. Not only this, it was also a passive kind of increase, in other words, it was a permanent increase. Qing Shui could increase it at any time he wanted.
Hence, his physical strength could already be considered to have increased significantly. Although the strength of his spirit energy seemed to have gotten weaker, he had gained the addition of the Divine Nebula Formation to his arsenal.
Physical strength that was worth thirty five nimbus… Taking into account the fifteen fold boost in strength provided by the Seven-colored Pellet, his physical strength had achieved nearly twenty seven thousand nimbus. In addition to that, the Nine Continents Mountain had also achieved a strength worth fifty three thousand nimbus.
"Could it be what people usually say as "what you lose on the swing, you get on the roundabouts"?"
By merely looking at these, things already seemed to be pretty good. On the whole, Qing Shui felt really happy. He quickly went on to sense the strength of his spirit energy. After all, his physical strength had already increased significantly. He could feel that it was stronger than before.
As he started operating his spirit energy, he found it to be incomparably abundant. However, its explosive ability remained the same as before. After all, prior to this, the buddha statue could provide twice as much boost to his spirit energy. But now, without it, he could only do it once. Nevertheless, it was already fine the way it was now. Beside, he still had the Divine Nebula Formation.
The Divine Nebula Formation was a killing formation formed rapidly when the spirit energy imitated the stars in the sky. It was all controlled by spirit energy. It was really profound and was considered to be a powerful killing formation.
At the moment, Qing Shui wasn't really interested in learning the Divine Nebula Formation. With his current strength, merely one Nine Continents Mountain was already enough to make him all the more terrifying, let alone his current spirit energy was also just as strong as before.
However, the fact that the buddha statue disappeared made Qing Shui feel a bit uncomfortable. He remembered the Buddha's True Eyes and got a bit nervous. He hurriedly attempted to use it and realized that it was still there.
Buddha's True Eyes!
It was a very solid power. That was a kind of emotion…. A sorrowful, heavy, merciful as well as sympathetical aura instantly enveloped the surroundings.
The Buddha's True Eyes targeted the opponent's heart. It attacked one's mind and immediately aimed for the softest spot in a person's heart. The Heart Toxin Talisman also had similar effects. Unfortunately, it wasn't as orthodox as Buddha's True Eyes.
If an outsider was present when Qing Shui used the Buddha's True Eyes, he would definitely feel that Qing Shui was like a tall impassable mountain, making himself feel spiritually pressured both physically and mentally.
Of course, if it was someone who far exceeded Qing Shui in terms of strength, his percentage of success with the Buddha's True Eyes would be low. Furthermore, its effect would be greatly reduced as well. This was a law that would never change.
For now, other than the Demonic Beast Armor Manifestation, all of his strength has immediately turned into passive battle techniques. This made him feel as if his body was as strong as a divine stone at any time. However, his Ancient Inheritance helped keep his aura well-hidden. Very few people were able to examine Qing Shui's true strength.
The Violet Blood Thread within his blood seemed to have gotten slightly thicker. There was a majestic energy around it as well.
At the moment, Qing Shui was unsure about the functionality of the Divine Nebula Formation. If he followed the rules from before, his physical strength would decrease by half but his spirit energy would double. But as Qing Shui thought about it, he thought it was quite a satisfying result as well. Despite losing the buddha statue, the golden pellet in his dantian was even stronger. Not only did it contain powerful Qi of the Ancient Strengthening Technique and Violet Gold Divine Force, it could even help boost his strength onefold. This was already beyond the knowledge Qing Shui had towards Ancient Strengthening Technique.
In a nutshell, Qing Shui was already considered to have gained a lot this time. The reason why he broke through this time was because he forged the Yang Stone Sword. It was the Yang energy within the sword which triggered a series of changes in his Nine Yang Golden Body.
He suddenly thought about the Yang Stone Sword. Qing Shui quickly took out the sword. He remembered from before that at the time when he broke through, the Yang Stone Sword was also shining with golden light. He didn't know that if it was him who broke through first or it was the Yang Stone Sword which shone first.
At the moment when Qing Shui used the Heavenly Vision Technique to look at the Yang Stone Sword, he once again froze in shock.
A legendary grade weapon!
He had actually forged a legendary weapon. Even though, at the moment when he broke through to the Hexa-color Rainbow Art of Forging, it was said that he had a small chance of forging legendary weapons, he never thought that he would be able to do it so quickly. It might have had something to do with the Yang Stone.
Nine Yang Sword!
Qing Shui continued reading downwards. Forged from Yang Stone. Imbued with Primordial Flame and Nine Yang Golden Flame. Contained formidable strength.
Helped increase the user's strength by tenfold. Increase fivefold spirit energy. The raw defensive strength which got increased twofold included the spirit energy defense, at the time when the user attacked, there was a 20% chance the power would be doubled. Nine Yang Force could protect the user from some negative effects, for example, from poison. It helped reduce the user's energy consumption by 50% and help double the strength recovery speed.
Can recognize its owner!
State: Hasn't recognized an owner!
This was precisely how a legendary grade weapon was…….
Qing Shui knew that he was really in luck this time for being able to forge the Nine Yang Sword. Unfortunately, this sword wasn't his. Also, only this sword could help significantly increase his strength. Legendary weapons weren't in the same class as high grade weapons. Those weapons were weapons that only existed in legends.
Qing Shui looked at the Nine Yang Sword as he reluctantly put it down. Compared to last time, this time, he felt even more impulsive to own this weapon.
Last time, it was Yan Jinyu, Qing Shui thought for a long time and made up his mind to act foolishly yet again. The law could never change, after all, it's always said that foolish people had foolish luck. Forget it, as Qing Shui felt that time was almost up, he made up his mind to only carve seal formations tomorrow.
By the time Qing Shui went out of the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal, the sky was already a bit bright. When he came out, he didn't really mind the sun. When he arrived at the courtyard however, he saw a very thin figure of a person standing far away. Qing Shui was a bit saddened seeing that small figure standing there.
"Why are you not sleeping more?" Qing Shui asked softly.
The girl turned around: "I can't sleep!"
"Oh, then your body must be too frail. Come and practice fists with me!" Qing Shui pulled her to the backyard while talking.
The girl's hand felt really cold. Qing Shui slowly investigated her body with his spiritual sense. Originally, he only wanted to see if her body was healthy but after taking two steps, he abruptly came to a stop.
"How old are you?" Qing Shui asked.
"Fifteen years and ten months old!" the girl answered calmly.
Qing Shui held her hand and once again walked towards the backyard.
There were actually Blood Terminator Bead within her body! No wonder people called her the incarnation of Sirius. The reason why Qing Shui knew about the Blood Terminator Bead was because he has heard of it before from the Ancient Inheritance. It wasn't actually anything like the incarnation of Sirius. It was a bead formed from very powerful resentment, baleful aura and pernicious aura. At the time when the girl reached adulthood, normally, at sixteen, it would burst. The girl would then turn into something which resembled a demon. She would be reborn into a new being and her strength would madly increase. When that happened, she would be very blood-thirsty and only be able to find peace through killing.
Qing Shui didn't know if this was real. But now, since he was already able to make it here, what else could he not believe?
Qing Shui started to practice his Taichi Fist slowly. He explained the techniques while practicing them. He didn't know if the girl would learn from him but he would definitely teach her. Taichi helped cultivate one's mind and moral character. It also helped mediate one's mind and relaxed one both physically and mentally. Qing Shui felt that he must have her learn it.
Hence, he patiently practiced the fist while explaining to the girl again and again.
One time… Two times……
A hundred times…….
It was already past morning and yet Qing Shui still continued to explain about it. He tried to explain every single word in it and demonstrated them to her. All along, he looked really calm.
The girl slightly lowered her head. After that, she started doing the Taichi Rising Hand stance. She performed the techniques one by one and seemed to have great talent for it. It might have been because she had seen it a lot and heard about it a lot. Hence, she could already pull it off nicely on her first try. On top of that, she was ever able to follow along to the pace of his breathing.
She already seemed quite adapted to the style on her second try. Vaguely, it could be seen that her movement was quite smooth. Even though it wasn't to the extent of looking very natural and unforced, no one would think that she just started practicing it when they saw her movements.
Qing Shui observed her in silence. Whenever she made mistakes, he wouldn't try to correct her right away. He would only demonstrate it again at the time when she stopped. The girl too knew which part of the techniques she wasn't good at and would observe Qing Shui when he demonstrated it again.
Just like this, another two hours passed. The pace at which the girl improved shocked Qing Shui. She could already pull off the Taichi Fist by herself. Qing Shui intended to let her suppress the baleful aura in her body with the Taichi Fist in the future.
There was two months left. Qing Shui was a bit concerned. He didn't know if she would go through great changes after these two months. He also did not know the extent to which her strength would increase once she got reborn by then. Would she kill him? Qing Shui believed that he would be able to run away but what about the people around here? Actually, those people weren't really clear about what she was, if they had known about it, they would have done more than just kicking her out.
At the moment when Qing Shui brought her to have food, he could already feel a bit of change taking place inside her. It was something very hard to describe, he felt that it might have been a change which was taking place in himself instead. He felt that he was treating this girl like Luan Luan and Yu Chang, perhaps even Qing Yin and the others.
Morning was already half gone by the time they finished their food. Yan Yangchi and the others came. This time, the Fifth and Seventh Princesses as well as Fourth Prince also came.
At the time when they saw the girl beside Qing Shui, they were all stunned. The girl didn't talk to anyone. Even when Yan Jinyu and the others approached her the start a conversation, she would just remain silent.
"She was always like this, alright! Go inside!"
Originally, the ladies still wanted to joke around with the girl. But every time they saw her, they would feel nervous. That was a very weird kind of terrified feeling. At first, they were just feeling uncomfortable but as time passed, they felt as if they overcame their feelings. After all, she was just an ordinary person.
"Qing Shui, you haven't told us who she is?" Even the Seventh Princess had now begun to address him as Qing Shui. She asked with a smile.
"She is my long-lost daughter. I have finally found her. Let's go, I have made some food today to return you guys the favor of helping me find my daughter," Qing Shui said, while greeting the others.
The others didn't believe him. Nevertheless, they still smiled and congratulated him.
The girl was already back in her own room. Qing Shui on the other hand, continued to drink alcohol with them. After all, it wasn't time to eat yet, hence, there were teas and alcohol on the table. It was up to them what they wanted to drink.
Qing Shui didn't mention anything about the assassination attempt on him. Nor did he feel like saying it now. He felt that he had at least the ability to defend himself in Great Yu Dynasty, let alone he already knew some of the royal family members here.
"Qing Shui, be more careful nowadays. Both Yu Clan and Third Prince may attack you. Why don't you come stay in Yan Clan?" Yan Jinyu put down the cup of tea in his hand and asked.
The Fourth Prince had begun to say something. Usually, he would speak very few words, hence, at this time, everyone listened attentively.

Name: Martha
How did you find out about the community? If it's through an LJ user, please tell us who it is (individual user if possible, not just a community name!): Through dear moderntrickster.
Age: 21
Location: Malta
Occupation: Student
All About You
1. Describe your ideal house/home. Please go into as much detail as possible, and be sure to include your ideal geographical location in the description!. Having lived for the entirety of my life this far on a tiny Mediterranean island, I have always had somewhat of an idealised view of mainland Europe and Britain (being a recovering Anglophile), as erroneous as that view might be. The small bit of travelling I've done in Europe made me understand that I don't see myself as a city-dweller, but I would rather live in a less busy town/city. My favourite city I have visited so far has to be Nuremberg, in the southern Bavarian region of Germany. Nuremberg is probably the model of a city I'd love to live in. Not as busy as, say, Munich, but still a sizeable city with a vast array of things to see and experience. I do see myself living in a moderatory sized apartment there. I am lucky enough to live in a large-ish house with my family, so something smaller seems to me a rather pleasant change. My ideal apartment would have ample space for shelving, good wi-fi connectivity and possibly an outdoor area where to have a small garden or some potted plants.
2. Imagine you're given the classic opportunity: a genie granting you three wishes. What would you wish for? Please be as elaborate as you can. Wishing for more wishes is not permitted!
i. Unlimited money. Honestly, who wouldn't wish this? Money doesn't grant happiness, but it sure helps. I'd probably use quite a lot for travelling. Seeing all the great things there is to see. All the art and all the natural beauties, that is not to mention all the shows and concerts.
ii. Confidence . I have missed so many opportunities by lacking confidence in myself, and have a low self-esteem, that I would really think it would make a great difference to my life if I did have it.
iii. Motivation. Because I find it rather hard to look forward to my future and not shudder slightly.
3. In your life so far, what accomplishment are you the most proud of? Why? You can list more than one if you have trouble deciding. ;) Probably overcoming past difficulties and getting to university. Early in my life, I did terribly at anything school-related, due to bad teachers as well as family problems. For the longest time I thought I wouldn't really amount to anything. But then I slowly discovered literature, and that developed into a more all-encompassing interest in the arts. I am now in my final year of a B.A. in History of Art.
4. Which of the following is most important to you: Love, Money, Knowledge, Family, Friendship, Adventure, or Pleasure? Which is the least important to you? Please explain why for each choice. This isn't difficult at all. I think one needs a degree of each in life. But because I have to answer the question I'd say the most important for me is Love, and by that I don't just mean romantic love (sadly rather lacking where I'm coming from), but merely knowing that in the end of the day there are people who love you. I guess this would be connected to Family in my case, as I rely heavily on them, mostly my mother and sister, with whom I live. Probably the least important to me would be adventure, as in the obvious sense of the word. Frankly, I would rather stay in and watch documentaries.
5. What's one quote (or passage, song lyric, etc.) that effectively describes you and your values? Explain. "You'll never be a first-class human being or a first-class woman, until you've learned to have some regard for human frailty." - Cary Grant as C.K. Dexter Haven in the 1940 film The Philadelphia Story. I don't really have anything to add to that, just that I love Cary Grant (but that's beside the point).
6. How do you manage your money? On that note, how important is money/financial security to you? Go into as much detail as you can. Not very well, to put it blankly. When I do have some money in hand I tend to spend it rather quickly on various things, like clothes, shoes, sushi, drinks and so on. When I do not have money I cope. I do still live with my mum, so I guess that helps, although I don't really depend on her financially. But of course it helps that I don't have to pay bills. Despite what I wished for, money isn't all that important to me. We were never truly well-off, so I got used to sort of coping and adjusting to circumstances early on.
7. Name (and elaborate on) some of your hobbies. What are your favorite things to do outside of school/the office? Well, I spend most of my time on my laptop, watching stuff
8. Name three things you are afraid of. Explain.
i. Being judged. I absolutely despise being put in a position where I am being judged or put under scrutiny. So I try my best to avoid activities that involve public speaking, as I always get very nervous and shaky when I have to give a presentation or the like.
ii. Rejection. I am a total people pleaser and find it rather hard to speak or act my mind when scared of being judged and rejected for what I've done or said, so I often just suffer in silence.
iii. The future. Do I really need to explain myself? I mean, I am (hopefully) going to graduate with a B.A. next year. So...what then?
9. Name (and elaborate on) your top three BEST and top three WORST qualities (personality-related, not physical). Please answer as fully as you can, as this is an important question.
Best (As you can see in the length of these, I found this rather hard):
i. Compassionate. I do take pride in being a good listener and caring for people, while trying to be as supportive as possible. Also, it's quite a good tool to have for roleplaying.
ii. Open-minded. I'm pretty much open to discuss anything and everything, and I owe this to my wide range of interests. I can really blab on about anything. I think everyone has a right to speak their mind, as long as they're not hurting anyone.
iii. Funny. At least that's what people tell me. Oftentimes I use comedy to diffuse tension or change the subject. The best
i. Laziness. This is really problematic when it comes to assignments and exams. I am one of those of people who leaves everything to the very last minute. I study for most of my exams the day/night before (and yet still do reasonably well most times). This is probably tied to my lack of motivation problem. I find it rather hard to close my laptop and sit down and work. The fact that I still have time to work on the task at hand some other time keeps nagging at me and I end up not doing anything. Every time.
ii. Anxious. Especially when I keep lazying about and procrastinating on things. I also get terribly anxious before meetings and in crowds. I'm terrible at interacting with other people when in a group. I'm fine when it's a one-to-one interaction, but get me in a group and I pretty much cave in on myself.
iii. Insecure. This goes hand-in-hand with the anxiousness.
A Song of Ice and Fire Related
1.How many books from the series have you completed? All five.
2.Who are your favorite three characters in the series? Why?
i. Sansa Stark. Where to start? I actually wasn't much of a fan of Sansa in the first book, as many others weren't. But I quickly grew enamored of her. Martin develops her character so well, that you can see her grow and mature from chapter to chapter. And I find that in the Eyrie, under Littlefinger's guidance (putting aside the dark, but rather fascinating to me, underbelly of that relationship), she is truly flowering as a player of the game, something we've only seen hints of for now.
ii. Petyr Baelish.
ii. Samwell Tarly. A hugely underrated character, I think. Unlike any other character in the books. I love how he's an unlikely hero, without even knowing so, being the most unlikely candidate for a hero in the context of the books. I'm really looking forward to see how his storyline develops in the coming books.
Honorable mentions: Olenna Tyrell, Asha Greyjoy, Roose Bolton, Stannis Baratheon, Cersei Lannister, Fat Walda, Myranda Royce (fuck yes, minor characters).
3.Who are your least favorite three characters in the series? Why?
i. Daenerys Targaryen. I don't really know why, but I was never drawn to her storyline.
ii. Walder Frey. Just nasty. And not even in an entertaining way.
iii. The Sandsnakes. This is probably another rather unpopular opinion, but I never really got the appeal.
Dishonorable mentions: Victarion Greyjoy, Euron Greyjoy, Randyll Tarly.
4.#1 Favorite moment in all of ASOIAF so far? Why?
Probably the purple wedding. It was all so finely staged. with all the lavish courses and entertainment (and the whole Tyrion debacle), I felt rather tired after reading all that, until the shock came and I was left staring open-mouthedly at the page. Who was expecting that? I mean, really. And then I went back and read it twice and thrice over.
5. In your dream-world, how would you like to see the series end, and why?
Oh, Christ. Can it not end?
In the first place, I definitely don't want Sansa to die. But I want her to reconquer the North, by Harrold Hardyng's side (who hopefully turns out to not be a jerk).
I don't really know what should happen with the Iron Throne. I don't really want or think Dany will reach Westeros.
(Yeah, sorry, I'm not very good at this. Frankly, I'm not really interested in what I wish would happen in the story, being neither the creator of the world and character nor a master storyteller.)

I'm fed up of being the wicked stepmother – Woman's OwnPosted: July 19, 2010 Filed under: stepmum story | Tags: second marriages, sell story magazine, stepmums Leave a comment
Story about stepmums and how they are often wrongly perceived as 'wicked' stepmums in WOMAN'S OWN magazine this week.
Lynda Renham-Cook's emotional story about how she felt rejected by her stepchildren appears in Woman's Own this week.
This is the second time I have sold Lynda's story for her. Previously I wrote her story for the Daily Mail newspaper where it appeared over two sides with her husband.
She was delighted I was able to place it again.
So you have a family relationship story you would like to see in a national newspaper or women's magazine? Perhaps you have an issue you would like to see discussed further or an idea for a feature? To sell your story do contact me in complete confidence.

Delta Monitoring Services Ltd Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: Who is Delta Monitoring Services?
A: Delta Monitoring Services (DMS) is a totally independent (meaning we have no affiliations to any Alarm or CCTV Company) family run Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) & Remote Video Response Centre (RVRC). We used to be a part of Delta Security Ltd, who where a Manned Guarding and Key holding company who decided that in 2010, because of the way the security industry was moving, to stay more in the game an ARC was needed to be built. In September 2012 Delta Security Ltd was bought out by a larger Manned Guarding and Keyholding company though they did not want to purchase the ARC/RVRC. So DMS was born, same location, same management team, just a different name.
Q2: What is DMS's area of operation?
A: We are based in Bristol but as to the nature of how we receive communications and signals (over Phone Lines, Internet, GPRS etc.) means we can monitoring sites not only from anywhere in the UK but anywhere in the world.
Q3: What are your monitoring charges?
A: Our prices depend on various factors, signalling device, signalling grade, type of monitoring and contract period to name a few. We do know that our prices are very competitive and realistic also we are always happy to work with installers on pricing when it comes to multisite migrations. If you wish to speak to our sales department please call 0800 068 0875.
Q4: So you are not associated with any Alarm Installation Company what so ever?
A: In a word No, Alarm and CCTV Installers are our customers and that's it. We do sometimes get asked through sales calls etc. if we do or can we do an installation, our answer is always no but we can and do put potential end-users in touch with our Installer customers in that area, the choice for what installation company to use is then always down to the end users choice.
Q5. Do I need accreditations or be registered to the same governing body to use DMS?
A: No, we as a truly independent ARC, we will work with all sizes and kinds of installation company. If you need premises monitored then we can help. The only point to bear in mind is that the Police will only issue a Unique Reference Number (URN), to accredited installation companies using an accredited BS5979 Category 2 ARC.
Q6: Can you recommend an installer in my area?
A: Yes, installers make up the majority our client/customer data base, which means we can put you in touch with several, so you can choose who to work with.
Q7: I'm an End User could I order monitoring directly from you?
A: Yes, but you will need to get your existing Alarm or CCTV installer to put in place the "set up" or transfer of the connection to us. If you are looking for a completely new system to be installed and monitored but don't have an existing installer, you can receive the monitoring direct form us, and we can give you several installers to choose from.
Q8: Can I visit the Alarm Receiving Centre?
A: Yes, we encourage potential and existing customers alike to come along and visit us by appointment. You will get to meet the team face to face and we feel that this helps build relationships and as the saying goes "it's always good to put a face to the name". Please be aware however that we are a 24hr security provider and strict access protocols and procedures will apply to protect ours and our customers interested. During your visit we will be pleased to demonstrate our services.
Q9: What else is there at your ARC?
We also have conference and training rooms facilities available, if you would like to use our facilities to pitch to potential clients, hold a training course or perhaps hold one of your regular meetings here? The facilities are available to our customers free of charge, and provide an ideal opportunity to tie in with a tour of the ARC/RVRC and meet the DMS team.
Q10: What do you do when you receive an alarm from mine or my customers system?
A: In short whatever you ask us to do. We react as per your set and agreed "action plan"
Q11: Why should I chose DMS what makes you different to other ARC's
We are family-run, privately owned and a totally independent ARC. This means we can offer you and your clients a more personal service then most ARC's. Customer services to us is key in everything we do and our installers are more "partners" then customers. We absolutely have no affiliation with any installation company what so ever.

I hate not being in control of whatever situation I'm in. I don't know why or when it started, but I get incredibly uncomfortable when I have to leave things up to someone else. I suppose it's linked to how much I dislike working in groups. I always do better when I'm by myself because that way, I'm solely responsible for the output. If it sucks or looks bad, it's on me. When you're in a group, you personally may do a great job, but if other people drop the ball, and the whole project fails, you get swept along with it, even though you weren't why it failed. It also extends to the way I look or how I act. I don't like looking stupid or looking foolish, so I avoid doing things that will make that happen, like karaoke, dancing, or acting. I understand that those are all fun things, and enjoy watching other people do them, but I can't stand the idea of people laughing at me, particularly when I'm not doing something intentionally comical.
Are any of you like this as well? Do you remember when you first noticed it about yourself? Have you ever tried to change it, and if so, were you successful?

I mentioned yesterday that I was intending on making a landing page and then using grow traffic to direct traffic there. I suspect this is going to be a pointless waste of money, since I read rather abysmal reviews. But – right now spending about 30 dollars on google ads only netted me 9 subscribers That's like 3.50 per email subscribtion, so I don't need a high conversion rate to improve on that.
Anyway, I cloned a landing page in mautic and was about to get going with this experiment. And I noticed my form was giving 403 forbidden instead of redirecting to my shopping cart. I still haven't really figured out why. For now the work around was simply to clone the form too. But I will need to play with this and see if I can duplicate the error reliably. Preferably with pages I'm not using.

Harmonic Analysis Lesson Series
Harmonic Analysis ( HA ) is the process used to determine the harmonic function of chords within a chord progression. A chord progression is defined as a sequence of chords, each chord has a root and has a particular chord type. The relationship of a chord's root to a scale determines its function within that scale's tonality. Once a chord's function is identified, scale selections along with chord and scale substitutions can be made. This process is called Root Movement Analysis ( RMA ).
Harmonic Analysis - Full Diatonic
Harmonic Analysis is the understanding of the functional sequence of chords. It is the process used to analyze the harmonic structure of a progression, song or composition. This analysis is then used to make scale selections for improvisation and chord substitution. This lesson covers the Full Diatonic harmonic principle.
Remembering Songs
Listening to songs and wanting to play the same songs on ukulele - that's what draws most people to the ukulele. That and it looks like a load of fun and easy too play - which it is. Then you need to actually remember the songs that you're learning so you can play them again. And, hopefully not have to read them off a sheet all the time.

Common Chord Progressions and Remembering Songs
Learning the similarities between chord progressions and songs helps you remember a lot of songs. There's a lot more in common between songs than one might think.
This series of lessons explores common chord progressions.
Remembering songs is lot like remembering the directions for a road trip. There are the turn-by-turn directions, road maps, signs and landmarks. Turn here, turn there, remember this and remember that landmark. With a songs it's the chords, the harmonic cells and form of the song.
With a few music tools and an understanding of the principles of how chords and chords progressions work. You can start unraveling what's going on in a song. There's a lot more in common between songs than you might think. Each song has it's own direction, signs and landmarks.
Types of Chords Available on Ukulele
The types of chords possible on ukulele include open position chords, movable form chords, 4-part chords, a.k.a. jazz chords and free from chords.
Open Position Chords
These are the basic first chords most players learn. There're the chords in the first one, two, three and fours frets of the ukulele and include at least one open string.
Basic Movable Form Chords
Sometimes called "barre" chords, these chords are the basic open position chords that venture beyond the third fret and do not include open strings.
4-part Contemporary Chords, a.k.a. Jazz Chords
Beyond basic open position chords and basic movable form chords these are the core set of 4-part chords that are used to build ALL your contemporary, more advanced chords. Commonly called "Jazz" chords these are the chords where the knowing how principles of how chords are constructed and your knowledge of the names of the notes of the ukulele fingerboard offer the most benefit to using and expanding your chord vocabulary. From these core chords you can create all those crazy named chords such as: 9#11, 7#5-9, 13b5, 7+9 - and on the fly as needed.
Free Form Chords
Free Form chords are those chords that do not fall into one of the above categories. They typically don't show up in chord dictionaries or software programs. You can create these chords when you know the notes of the ukulele fingerboard, know how chords are constructed and know the names of the notes the chord and the intervals that make up the chord.
Traditional and Contemporary Triads
Somewhere in the mix of the above four chord categories, triads should be explored. Triads are the foundation of most chords. They are amazing versatile chords that can be used harmonically as chords or melodically in solos. The student and the type of music determines
A triad is a three note chord. In traditional chord theory there are four traditional triad chord types: major, minor, diminished and augmented. And four contemporary triad chord types: sus2, sus4, add2 and add9.
Triads can be used harmonically, as chords and melodically, as single notes. Triads are a great way to get started with creating melodic solos and improvising.
In my personal and teaching experience triads are the first real challenging chords after the basic open position chords and movable basic chords. I personally found them even harder that the 4-part "jazz" chords.
Basic Ukulele Chords Charts
Not so much a series - but the basic chords ALL ukulele players should know.
Basic Ukulele Chords Charts - As much as I preach the need to not have to rely on chords charts. When you're first learning the ukulele and chords these charts are a real help - just not long a term alternative to actually knowng your chords, where they come from and how to create them when needed.

Government accelerator boosts business in low-income communities
Businesses increased their revenue by an average of 39%
The US government is giving businesses from marginalised communities a head start with a targeted training and development initiative. The Emerging Leaders program offers networking opportunities and classroom training in areas such as attracting investment, managing budgets and securing government contracts. In 2015, participants saw their businesses' revenues increase by an average of 39%, and members of the program collectively created more than 400 jobs.
Results & Impact
Participating businesses grew their revenue by 39% and collectively created more than 400 jobs, a growth rate of 32%. The revenue growth of all the participants combined topped $65.8 million in 2015. By connecting business leaders with institutions in need of their services, the program helped 30% of participants secure government contracts worth $152 million. The program has a 96% approval rating among participants.
Key Parties
The Small Business Administration
To qualify, businesses must have annual income of at least $400,000 and have been operating for at least three years. CEOs, COOs and other leaders of small companies take part in a seven-month course, which involves 100 hours of learning, including 40 hours of classroom-based activities and 12 hours of peer-to-peer mentoring. The curriculum focuses on ways to access capital, generate investment and develop new tools to enhance their work. The course also has a significant focus on networking, both to help entrepreneurs learn from their peers and connect them with public institutions that could contract their services. Participants finish the program by creating a three-year growth plan with benchmarks and performance targets.
United States
Target Group
Cost & Value
The course is free of charge for business owners.
Running since 2008
After expanding the program to 48 communities and 800 participants in 2015, growth slowed. Revenue increased by 14% after the second and 11% after the third year. Jobs grew by 14% and 8%.
The Story
More than 4,000 small businesses have increased their revenue by an average of 39% through a US accelerator scheme targeted at disadvantaged communities.
The Emerging Leaders program, run by the US Government's Small Business Administration (SBA), is a federal program aimed at businesses that have the potential to grow in historically low-income communities. It offers networking, capacity building and mentoring for CEOs, COOs and other leaders of small companies, improving their ability to build up their business.
Assessment of the 2015 course showed that participants increased their revenue by an average of $362,000 in the first year. They also created 400 new jobs, a growth rate of 32%. By connecting business leaders with institutions in need of their services, the program helped 30% of participants secure government contracts worth $152 million.
The program is based on the fact that small businesses are better engines of growth in disadvantaged areas than larger corporations. Studies show they keep profits in the area, and bring in more equitable jobs – three times as many as larger companies, according the the SBA.
Once selected, participants are put through a seven-month course of workshops, mentorship and networking. The curriculum teaches participants new ways to access to capital and investment and links them to government resources, established business leaders and tools to develop their work. A network of other business owners provides opportunities to meet with and learn from others in the same situation. Training takes place over 100 hours, including 40 hours of classroom learning and 12 in peer-to-peer mentoring.
The final product of participation in the program is a three-year growth plan, including benchmarks and performance targets, encouraging the participants to sustain their business beyond the training course. Among participants the approval rating of the program is 96%, and 55% of business leaders said they stuck more to their goals and growth plan as a result of taking part.
Unlike more conventional accelerators or mentoring programs the initiative does not target start-ups. To qualify, businesses must have annual income of at least $400,000, and have been operating for at least three years. All types of businesses – manufacturing, retail, professional and food services – are welcome to apply to the scheme.
In 2015, the project expanded to 48 communities and included 800 participants. After the first year, growth continued but at a slower pace: the program had an average revenue growth of 14% after the second and 11% after the third year. Jobs grew by 14% and 8%.

"Amari and cold-brewed coffee have similar flavor profiles, and they struck me as a great dessert-cocktail combo," says New York City bartender Brandon Duff. "What's better than a little whipped cream on top to bring it all together?" We couldn't agree more. Equal parts pick-me-up and tuck-me-in, this layered cocktail is the perfect conclusion to a holiday celebration.
¾ oz. cold-brewed coffee
½ oz. simple syrup
1 oz. heavy cream
1½ oz. Fernet-Branca
Tools: shaker, strainer
Glass: double rocks
Garnish: grated nutmeg
Combine the cold-brewed coffee and half of the simple syrup with a drop or two of the heavy cream in a shaker. Shake. Pour into a double rocks glass over a single large ice cube. Add the Fernet as a float on top. Whip the remaining heavy cream and simple syrup. Float the cream on top of the Fernet and garnish.
Tip: To make nicely defined layers, make sure your ingredients are well chilled and pour the Fernet gently over the back of a spoon, so it floats rather than sinks.

Last year when Apple launched iPhone X, it didn't just reveal a new iPhone instead of the company shown the future of the smartphone industry.
Finally, the year has passed, and we are only a week away from Apple's biggest announcements of the year. Yes, the fall is here and so as new iPhones, the time when the most valuable and lovable brand shows off its true power.
Apple has already announced that 12th September is the date for this year's iPhone launch event. Along with new iPhones the tech giant has lots of surprises in its bags for fans.
Last year when Apple launched iPhone X, it didn't just reveal a new iPhone instead of the company shown the future of the smartphone industry. The bezel-less design with Face ID has changed the dynamics of the smartphone world.
Apple is known as the trendsetter since from the beginning, let see if the company has also planned to amaze everyone once again by taking the industry one step forward into the future. Here we have a list of the big announcement coming on September 12, be the first one to know what's going to come out at Steve Jobs Theater in Cupertino on September 12.
The series of rumors and leaks are going for months now about the upcoming iPhones. But, the one rumor that seems to be true is that there will be three new iPhones this year and all will come from the iPhone X family. The two iPhones are rumored to be the next generation iPhone X with additional features and updates.
According to Bloomberg and 9to5Mac, the two iPhone X will be available with a 5.8 inch and 6.5-inch display. Surprisingly these iPhones will be coming with almost the same size as iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 plus in spite of having a bigger screen.
The rumors also suggest that one or maybe both will be called iPhone XS. However, it is not clear that the bigger and premium variant of iPhone XS will have some additional features or not like the company's every iPhone model ( iPhone 6S, iPhone 8S and more).
Moreover, according to the reports both the iPhone XS model will be available in Gold color for the buyers.
Apart from the next generation of iPhone X, the company is also planning to launch the cheaper version of the same. The recent rumors revealed that there could be one more iPhone with a big display inheriting the features from iPhone X.
However, it may lack some premium giveaways as it will be cheaper than other models. Maybe the sudden drop of iPhone X made the company think about offering the technology at cheaper price. The phone will have Face ID to replace the Touch ID, and it will wear an LCD screen panel instead of expensive OLED to cut down the cost.
Besides, there are also rumors going on that Apple could revive iPhone SE for the users. Some of the experts and researchers believe that the September 12 event may give us iPhone SE2 in order to keep running the affordable range of iPhones.
Waiting for new and upgraded Apple Watch? Me too. Don't worry we will be getting one this year if the rumors were true. The reports and continuous leaks show that Apple could launch Apple Watch Series 4 this year. The upcoming Apple Watch could come with a new design, band pattern and new aesthetics.
Besides, it could have reduced bezel with an OLED display and improved power and battery. Apart from this we also expect the company to launch an upgrade for the WatchOS which is due for a long time now.
iPhone is maybe the highlight of the event, but Apple may have some assorted surprises for its fans. If we believe the rumors spotted by Bloomberg earlier this year, the company could launch a Retina MacBook at the event.
The rumors suggest that Apple has been working on an entry-level MacBook that could cost $1000, but won't come with 'Air' branding. This leak could be true as Apple needs a cheaper Macbook to enlarge its market across other regions.
We could also get an enhanced and upgraded version of Apple's popular AirPods for the fans. Again the rumors and leaks that caught our attention revealed that Apple is working on the new version of the wireless earphones. The new AirPods are expected to more efficient and expensive than the last one.
Besides, the new version will be water-resistant and equipped with new features that will allow the user to interact with Siri just by tapping the earpiece and saying, 'Hey Siri.'
The sources have also mentioned that Apple is working on a redesigned iPad that could be inspired by iPhone X. However, we believe that Apple will not be sharing the new iPad at the September event as it holds a separate event for its iPad launch.
But, you can expect surprises from Apple anytime, so we have to wait for the event to see what happens. Besides, the point of the leak towards the unraveling of a new HomePod, last year received the HomePod so maybe this year we will get another one.
According to the rumors, Apple could introduce a HomePod Mini that the company has been working on for a long time now.
One of the most awaited updates that all the iPhone users are waiting eagerly to hit the devices. Apple is also expected to unveil the launch date of iOS 12 at the September 12 event besides iPhones. The company could tell the date when the new iOS version will hit the devices and users will get their hands on it.
These are the major announcement that we are expecting from Apple on September 12. We will keep updating you with new leaks and updates about the event if you have something interesting to share with us you can drop that in comments.
