Paddling Tours
I honestly had taken paddling the marsh for granted. I paddle through it every fishing trip to the fish. My focus was catching fish and the kayak has provided me with a super stealthy way to slip into waters that the best boat captain could not reach simply because of physics: He did not have enough water to get there.
When we founded Paddling Pirate Kayak Fishing Adventures, I was focused on the kayak fishing. My wife, the wise one of our partnership reminded me that paddling tours were popular and that coastal visitors might really enjoy just paddling around and seeing nature. So the paddling tour side of the business was born. She was right as always.
This week I had the pleasure of taking out two very different parties on paddling tours, one a group of vacationers and other professional journalist writing about tourism, both from non-coastal areas. It was fascinating to watch as they explored the marsh. They consumed it all.
Every marker, the different kinds of grass and algae floating in the water, the birds, the fish, and oyster rock everything was in play and they wanted to know about it. I realized quickly that I was no marine biologist but that I had most of the answers to their questions. Best part was they didn't care about technical stuff just general information.
It became apparent they were on an adventure and I kind of felt guilty for not knowing what to be excited about because, they were so into everything. Then I figured it out I didn't have to know, it was their adventure.
An example, we met a gentleman paddling through who told them of two bald eagles that had been flying over the area the day before. He had paddled back today just to see if could catch a glimpse of them again. They quickly became bird watchers for a few minutes.
Or the loud sequel, followed by pointing and the nervous explanation that one of them had not expected that big fish to jump out of the water right at the boat.
Paddling tours….yeah after witnessing the adventure through our new friends' eyes, I can't wait to take the next group and find more of the Treasures of Topsail exploring the backwaters. Paddle on guys.
Paddling Pirate Kayak Fishing Adventures Inc is excited to announce that we will be a North Carolina dealer for Malibu Kayaks. When we started Paddling Pirate, we selected Malibu Kayaks as the brand we wanted to put clients on for kayak fishing and paddling tours. It only seems logical that we move to offer these great kayaks for sale to our friends and clients.
Malibu Kayak is an American company, manufacturing boats in California. Another important consideration when we selected them. Many of the box store retailers are offering imported kayaks that simply lack the quality and craftsmanship of Malibu Kayak.
In founding this business we developed this mission statement:
Paddling Pirate Kayak Fishing Adventures is focused on taking sportsman and non-sportsman alike fishing. Our goal is to provide a safe, fun and affordable outdoor adventure to our clients. Our adventures will be custom fitted to the clients' skill level and interest. We will remember that it is the client's adventure.
Our secondary focus will be to provide clients with a unique and different method of fishing by utilizing kayaks. Our kayaks have been selected for their stableness, fish ability, and ease to paddle. We want the client to learn, enjoy and become addicted to kayak fishing leading to a lifetime love of paddle sports.
Establishing a dealership for a quality kayak company like Malibu Kayak is simply another step in fulfilling our mission to provide clients a platform to become addicted to paddle sports. Now let's go paddle!!!
30 years of Law Enforcement and never felt like I worked a day, Because I loved my job. Made choosing a second career difficult. But combining fishing, kayaking, and people into a Guide Service just seemed to fit.

PURE Harmonie Circular Polarizer has a factor of only 1 f-stop when attached on the lens, a very useful feature when used in low light conditions or in combination with other filters.
The Cokin Pure Harmonie Circular Polarizer Filter helps reduce reflections and glare by filtering out light that has become polarized due to reflection from a non-metallic surface. The light from the sun naturally becomes partially polarized due to reflecting off electrons in air molecules, causing the light to scatter into what appears as haze. A polarizing filter arranges, and filters, this directionally polarized light perpendicularly to the reflected light, allowing for the absorption of much of this light. This results in a noticeable reduction of glare and reflections from non-metallic surfaces and an increase in the saturation of skies and foliage.
When the Cokin Pure Harmonie Circular Polarizer Filter is applied, 77% of ultraviolet light waves are blocked at 400 nanometers, before which they are progressively eliminated, helping to limit the light that enters a camera to the visible spectrum. The appearance of blue casts that can occur while recording video or still photos under daylight that also features ultraviolet light is reduced, preserving color accuracy throughout the frame.
To help eliminate internal ghosting and reflections, each glass surface of the Cokin Pure Harmonie Circular Polarizer Filter features 16 layers of Cokin's EVERCLEAR 5 anti-reflection coating. These coatings are resistant to oil, dust, dirt, and scratches, offering greater protection to the filter and help it to stay clean for longer than with uncoated filters. The coatings are also hydrophobic, resulting in an improved beading effect when in contact with water for greater cleaning efficiency.

November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month and as a Multispecialty hospital in Chennai, we feel it is important to share information regarding this aggressive type ofcancer. Early detection can be a lifesaver and monitoring your health for symptoms is very verycrucial. Pancreatic cancer is one of the nation's deadliest cancers with a five-year survival rate at just 9 per cent.
Pancreas plays a very important role in our body and mainly functions to aid in digestion and prepare hormones such as insulin to help control the body to store and to utilise glucose. Sugar is the major component and is the main source of energy for a human body. Cancer begins in the cells of the pancreas which lie in the abdomen that lies behind the lower part of the stomach.
Every pancreatic cancer patient is different. Most of our cancer experts at Be Well have extensive experience in properly staging and diagnosing the disease, and developing a treatment plan that's tailored to the specific type of apancreatic cancer.
There are two types of pancreatic cancer that of the exocrine gland and the other of the endocrine gland. About 90% of pancreatic cancer begins in the exocrine cells of the pancreas.
1) Endocrine: These are less common and most benign. They are also called pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors or islet cell tumors. They are very rare, and thecancer stems out from thepancreatic endocrine tumors (PET) which affects the hormone-producing cells.
2) Exocrine: These tumors that affect the exocrine gland are called as adenocarcinomas . This type of cancer forms in the pancreatic ducts and treatment of these are based on the various stages of spread of the cancer.
Smoking, being overweight, having diabetes, chronic pancreatitis, and certain hereditary conditions are some of therisk factors for pancreatic cancer.
Symptoms may include the following
• Back or abdominal pain)
• Weight loss
• jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes)
• Loss of appetite
• Nausea
• Changes in stool
• Recent onset ofdiabetes
If you are experiencing one or more of these unexplained symptoms, see your doctors at any Gastroenterology hospital in Chennai.
Fortunately, Research has shown what can be done to prevent pancreatic cancer, and the following can help.
1) Maintain a healthy weight: Obese people have an increased 20% risk of developing the disease compared to people who are of normal weight. To determine a healthy weight, one must strive for a good BMI or body mass index between 20 and 25.
2) Make sure you limit alcohol usage: Studies have shown time and again that there is 36% risk of pancreatic cancer for men and women who drink 3 or more alcoholic drinks in a day compared to the ones who never drink.
3) Quit smoking- Smoking can cause a significant risk factor and smokers are 2 times more likely to develop cancer than the people who do not smoke.
We at Be Well hospitals hope raising awareness will help others catch the disease early. You can also help save lives by spreading the word about symptoms and risk factors associated with pancreatic cancer.

It has always been said that you are what you eat. In a world full of food varieties, it will be very wrong for me, and indeed anyone to choose for you what to eat and drink. Eat and drink what you like, but make sure that your diet is balanced and that you take the number of calories that your body can use every day. A balanced diet is one that consists of all the classes of foods in the right proportions. You need it to live your life to the fullest. Here are a few benefits of taking a balanced diet.
Healthy living
Perhaps the most important benefit of eating a balanced diet is living a healthy life. If you take a balanced diet, you are likely to be in the pink of health throughout your life. This is because your body does not lack any essential nutrient or vitamin. The body needs carbohydrates for energy production. It also needs proteins for growth, repair of worn out tissues and regulation of the various functions of body cells.
Fats are required for energy production when carbohydrates are depleted. They also provide insulation to the body against extreme coldness and provision of essential fatty acids like linolenic acid. It is clear that the lack of any of these food types is not good for the body. However, when the body gets each of these food substances, each of its organs is in proper working conditions, and body cells function properly. The body is ever prepared to fight disease-causing germs. Indeed, a balanced meal a day keeps the doctor away.
Better growth and development
When you are healthy, everything else falls into its right place. You grow and develop mentally and physically. Diseases don't hamper your growth. Every food you take performs its function in the body. Indeed, if you are to grow properly, you need to take wholegrain cereals, lean meat, and milk. These are my examples. Choose yours from the list of your favorite foods, sticking to the food classes required for a balanced diet. Don't forget fruits and vegetables.
Better performance at school and work
Your body requires the necessary nutrients to function well at school and work. A malnourished child cannot do well in school. He or she either lacks the energy to concentrate in class or is unwell. His or her brain may also not have developed properly. Life is full of problems for such a child. As an adult, you need energy to toil and moil every day and put food on the table. This is not easy if you don't watch what you eat.
Everyone wishes that they were fairer than they are today. People with rough skin want to make it softer and tenderer. Old people want to appear younger. That is why we have witnessed people going for cosmetic surgeries to accentuate their God-given looks. They forget that the secret to beauty is taking a balanced diet. With a balanced diet, everything is in its rightful place and condition. Your skin never ages and your beauty dazzles everyone that sees it.

The new voluntary guidelines build on the first-generation UltraHD characteristics released by CEA in October 2012 and will take effect in September 2014. They are designed to address various attributes of picture quality and help move toward interoperability, while providing clarity for consumers and retailers alike.
"UltraHD TV is the next revolution in home display technology, offering consumers an incredibly immersive viewing experience with outstanding new levels of picture quality," said Gary Shapiro, president and CEO at CEA. "These updated attributes will help ensure consumers get the most out of this exciting new technology and will provide additional certainty in the marketplace."
Under the expanded characteristics, a TV, monitor or projector may be referred to as Ultra High Definition if it has at least eight million active pixels, with at least 3,840 horizontally and at least 2,160 vertically; an aspect ratio of 16:9 or wider; is capable of upscaling HD video and displaying it at UltraHD; has one or more HDMI inputs supporting at least 3,840 x 2,160 native content resolution at 24p, 30p and 60p frames per second. At least one of the 3840x2160 HDMI inputs must support HDCP revision 2.2 or equivalent content protection.
Requirements also include the ability to process 2,160p video inputs encoded according to ITU-R BT.709 colour space ,and may support wider colorimetry standards. And, it has a minimum colour bit depth of eight bits.
The CEA is also working with its member companies to develop a UHD logo to be made available for voluntary use by manufacturers for product packaging, marketing materials and promotional activities.

Slow Cooker Red Beans & Rice is a classic New Orleans dish, full of savory spices and bold flavor, made easy in a slow cooker!
It was about 2 months late, but it's finally arrived…the first blizzard of the season (our state is under there somewhere!)
I am not kidding you, it has been snowing all. day. long. I sit in front of a big picture-window at work, and not once did the fat, white flakes stop falling.
The roads are a mess too! 2 cars gingerly turned left in front of me on my way home today but, despite their best efforts, they quickly spun in a super-scary 360 before they could make it across the road.
We've already accumulated upwards of 5 inches, and it's not supposed to stop all night. Do you like snow? I don't mind telling you that I freaking hate it!
On the bright side, I had the PERFECT antidote to the mess that was going on outside. A savory, smoky, slightly spicy slow cooker dinner ready for me when I got home – Slow Cooker Red Beans & Rice!
I was zipping through CookingLight.com the other day and spied this Southern-inspired recipe, then I used my Huge Ass Beer cup from NOLA the other day for something, and I was totally inspired.
Slow Cooker Red Beans & Rice
Slow Cooker Red Beans & Rice is a classic New Orleans dish, full of savory spices and bold flavor, made easy in a slow cooker!
- 3 cups water
- 1 cup dried red kidney beans
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 12oz turkey kielbasa
- 1 bay leaf
- 5 garlic cloves, smashed but left whole
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Combine all ingredients in a slow cooker then cook on high for 5 1/2 hours, or until beans are tender. Serve over cooked rice.
Adapted from CookingLight.com
This recipe is courtesy of Iowa Girl Eats, http://iowagirleats.com.
Ben's verdict? "This is way better than I thought!" Gee, thanks! ;) He's used to Popeye's red beans and rice (I know) that "tastes like lard." Oh my.
Ugh this was so good. SO GOOD. I don't know how the simple spices made it taste so Southern, but it was just awesome. So comforting against the chill.
I served my portion on top of brown rice, but made Ben long-grain white rice for his ladle-full. I gotta tell ya'…white rice was where it's at for these creamy red beans and rice!
I whipped up some uber-easy, insanely-dense, crazy-moist Pumpkin Cornbread for a true Southern feast! Have you made this yet?! It bakes up in the same amount of time it takes for the rice to cook, which is super.
For a(nother) sweet treat after dinner I made – duh-da-duh – SINGLE SERVE COOKIE DOUGH!
Not just any cookie dough, oh no. This is completely safe-to-eat-raw, eggless cookie dough! I found the recipe on Cut Out + Keep. OMG.
All you do is combine water, butter, flour, sugar, vanilla, a pinch of salt and chocolate then freeze for a few minutes.
Presto, chango – COOKIE DOUGH!!!!!
Tastes just like the real thing!
Mine had a face. You see it, right?
Ohhhohoho, the dough has gone to my brain. Try this though – it's crazy good!
Ben's all upset because I didn't make him any. I SWEAR I showed him the recipe yesterday and he scoffed at it. I SWEAR I did?! Anyways, I'm off to go make him some right now. After all, the poor guy has to go brave the cold to shovel the rapidly increasing snow pile that has become our driveway. He deserves it. :)
Bachelor tonight!
See ya'!
Would you rather eat the cookie or the dough?
To be honest, I'd rather eat the dough! It's better imo!

Future planning is something that many expats usually put off. This is because some of them have the mentality that they always have a motherland to return to. This should not be your mindset; you need to prepare for the unexpected.
As an expat, you may have some privileges in your new home country. But that should not make you feel too comfortable. As mentioned, you need to try foreseeing what is to come and come up with ways to shield you from some adverse effects and consequences.
Below is a round-up of items and pieces of advice that will help you plan your future as an expat.
Prepare for the worst
While you are at it, you may try stretching some things a little longer. This means you need to prepare for the worst. You may want to plan your estate just in case something happens to you. If you are in the Iberian peninsula, you may want to get a prepaid funeral plan for expats in Spain.
Start diversifying your investment
You may already have an initial investment in the country, but you need to keep in mind that their investment may work differently. So if you are sure with your baby steps, now is the time to diversifying your investments. You may already have stocks; now try, getting bonds. Make things much easier by working with wealth managers.
Broaden your network
Your fellow countrymen in the country you are staying in may not always be accommodating. So what you should do is get out of your nation-based social circle. Meet other people, because who knows, you may find your next business partner, client, or even your life partner.
Planning for the future should be done with an open mind. May the tips above help you come up with a viable and streamlined plan.

Get to know Your JSAer:
What was your first job?
My father was the Fire Marshal and Arson Investigator for the City of Fairfax, VA, where I grew up. He was kind enough to give me my first summer job as a filing clerk. The funny thing is, Fairfax City Hall is housed in what used to be the city jail, so all the filing cabinets were literally in jail cells. Let's just say I was ready "to be released" from my incarceration after the summer was over.
What is your happiest memory?
I have many, many happy memories, but a recent one that comes to mind is from our 2018 JSA Strategy meeting in Nashville. Our entire team gathered for 2.5 days of intense brainstorming and planning. One night, as a team building activity, we went to an Escape Room. I didn't know what to expect, but absolutely loved the adrenaline of racing the clock. When the door opened and we "escaped", it was such a thrilling moment. We all felt such a sense of accomplishment, because it was tough, really tough. I never would have gotten out if I was with another group of people. #JSAForever

Is it a Carbohydrate Issue or a Fat Issue?
This post was written by Susan B. Dopart MS, RD, CDE and posted on The Personal Development Toolbox with permission. Susan is a Health, Wellness and Fitness Consultant. You can visit her blog for articles similar to this one at susandopart.com/blog
For more information on Nutrition information on our site, please click here: Nutrition Tab
This last week I received some questions on this blog and thought I would clarify a few of the items with tie-ins to this question.
Over the last few months there has been a lot of press on studies showing saturated fat is not the issue with respect to heart disease and health. Is this really true? Could all the previous information and data be irrelevant?
For years we were told fat, particularly saturated fat, was the culprit and as long as you avoided it your heart would be healthy. Unfortunately many took this for license to eat anything as long as it did not contain fat, which led to the Snackwell's era with those fat-free cookies flying off the shelves.
Since nutrition is a very young science new studies are revealing how varying macronutrient (carbohydrate/protein/fat) combinations affect our health. Research clearly shows you cannot blame a metabolic problem on one nutrient.
Some things to consider are:
What is your genetic makeup? Are you someone who is insulin-resistant and stores weight in their middle or someone who is slim, has a high metabolism and whose insulin works like a charm otherwise known as insulin sensitive.
If you are insulin-resistant, having more protein and fat with less carbohydrate will benefit your metabolism and health. This is not a license for eating large amounts of saturated fat but consuming healthy grass-fed cheeses and butter for flavor can be beneficial.
In general, most of the population consumes more carbohydrate than they need or can metabolize since we live more sedentary lives than we did even 25 years ago.
In addition, some research shows that the only way fat can be a problem is if someone is overconsuming carbohydrates and/or sugars. Excessive intake of carbohydrates can contribute to elevated levels of Apo B and small dense LDL. Apo B is the primary substance responsible for carrying cholesterol to the tissues, which can lead to plaque and heart disease; small dense LDL is the one responsible for plaque while the large dense fluffy LDL is not.
The real culprits are excess sugars and carbohydrates (even healthy ones) if your body cannot metabolize them, and trans fat.
If you are relying on labels that say "no trans fat" you are being misled. First, consume as many foods as you can without a label and if a product contains oil and has increased shelf life (i.e. processed packaged food with an expiration date months away) chances are it contains trans fat. Food labels contain smaller serving sizes so manufacturers can make those claims when in reality most individuals eat much more than the portion on the label.
If you are carbohydrate sensitive what is your take home message?
If you want to have the knowledge of how your body metabolizes food consider getting the full blood panel at Health Diagnostics Laboratory. It will show your level of insulin resistance vs. sensitivity, and breaks down the cholesterol panel numbers to show if you have particles in your blood which are much more indicative of heart disease than the usual cholesterol numbers. This panel also breaks down the types of cholesterol and will give you your small dense LDL as well as your Apo B number.
If you have a high triglyceride number (over 150) or a fasting blood sugar over 93 chances are you are likely to have a carbohydrate issue, so consider consulting a health care professional/dietitian to carefully balance your eating plan to match your blood levels. Eating saturated fat is not going to break your health bank, and may provide calories and flavor to replace carbohydrates your body does not need.
Investigate your blood levels, experiment with different balances of carbohydrate/protein and fat but most of all consider an assessment of your genetics and health which can lead you down the road to having more money in your heart bank account.

AURAK hosts Presidential Awards for 2017-2018
June 13, 2018,
The American University of Ras Al Khaimah (AURAK) President, Prof. Hassan Hamdan Al Alkim, bestowed prestigious awards to honor faculty and staff members for demonstrating exceptional devotion throughout the 2017-2018 academic year.
AURAK Ambassador, Sana Sy, commenced the ceremony by welcoming guests and introducing Prof. Hassan, who thanked and congratulated the AURAK Faculty and Staff for their hard work and contributions throughout the year. He then introduced the Vice President of Academic Affairs and Student Success and Provost, Prof. Stephen Wilhite, as the announcer for the evening's ceremony. Prof. Stephen started the presentation of awards with a joke that while the position of Provost comes with the contractual statement "other duties assigned" that obligates him to perform duties that typically makes one cringe, presenting these awards, however, was not one of those duties, but a privilege he felt honored in being the individual chosen to bestow.
The Presidential Awards for Faculty included Excellence in Teaching, which was awarded to Dr. Mohammed Awad; Outstanding Researcher, which was awarded to Dr. Ali Maalaoui; and President's Leadership in Service, which was awarded to Dr. Philipp Dorstewitz.
The Presidential Awards for Staff included Distinguished General Services Staff, which was awarded to Mr. Moosa Kutty; Distinguished Professional Staff, which was awarded to Ms. Wennie Bandico; and Distinguished Manager/Director, which was awarded to Mr. Mohamed Sharul.
Each award winner was presented with a certificate on stage by Prof. Hassan and the opportunity to have their photo taken with the president. Ms. Sana concluded the ceremony by thanking the winners on their awards, invoking another round of applause for the winners from the audience, and asking for a group photo of all of the award winners.
Dr. Philipp Dorstewitz, recipient of the President's Leadership in Service Award had this to say about receiving his award, "At AURAK most faculty members are steeped in and committed to service activities. All of us serve on important committees and partake in DASPA along with other quality assurance efforts; our bid for SACSCOC accreditation is a truly shared endeavor. Moreover, I see countless initiatives across campus where colleagues use their talents and creativity to make AURAK a vibrant place for the benefits of our students and the wider community in Ras Al Khaimah. It is, therefore, a great honor to be singled out by an award for service and leadership at this institution. An honor, which I am very aware, many of my colleagues deserve and will hopefully see in the future."
Prof. Hassan was overjoyed with awarding outstanding excellence. The AURAK faculty and staff members dedicate countless hours developing lessons, building student relationships, constructing projects, forging agreements, researching their disciplines, serving on committees, and manipulating paperwork, all with the intentions of enhancing the university both inside and outside the classrooms and solidifying the opportunity for students to acquire a rock solid education. His only regret was not being able to bestow an award to every member of the AURAK family.

Question: Will the economy suffer if the DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) program is not renewed?
Bob's Answer: Yes
The average DACA recipient is 22 years old, employed, and earns about $17 an hour. The majority are students and 17 percent are pursuing an advanced degree. By contrast, most recipients of H-1B visas are between 25 and 34 and hold either a bachelor's degree or a master's degree. DACA recipients are more closely linked economically to H-1B visa recipients than other illegal immigrants. President Trump will not deport them. This is just politics.

The prices for this look amazing – a really good price – but you will need to buy some good quality 18650 batteries and charger.
This is aimed at low power vapers. The simple menus are great – no TC or TCR to confuse people.
I am spotting one slight problem though. I know I am such a misery aren't I!
The design of the mod means you are slightly confined in the tank you choose. The maximum tank size you can use is 23.5 – when you consider a lot of tanks are 24mm now this could be a problem.
It isn't even a simple case of a 24mm tank will "overhang" – but it will not physically screw onto the top of the mod because of the cut out and step design.
I can't help thinking that the restriction on the tank size will become annoying. As someone who owned a Pico in the past I eventually gave it away as none of my newer tanks would fit due to the battery cap obstructing them.
If your tanks are all 22mm or less then you will be fine! But it does limit your options if you did want to upgrade tanks and you might grow out of this mod quite quickly.
There is no doubt this little Cygnet is cute and colourful. The Pink and Rainbow is particularly sweet!
Do you think it is an Ugly Duckling or a Beautiful Baby Swan? Let me know your thoughts and if you would buy the Aspire Cygnet mod below!

These laid back creatures are loving and easy going and excellent guard dogs.
Their short fur makes them easy to maintain whilst their personality suits ones of a perfect companion! French Bulldogs would love nothing more than to cuddle up with you on the couch.
However, due to their brachychephalic faces, they are more prone drooling. Overheating will also occur if the weather is too hot, so be sure to keep them in a cool area and always provide a filled up water bowl!
Like a molosser type, French Bulldog are likely to be descended from Epirian and Roman molasses. Their relations include the Bulldog, the Medievel Alaunts and other similar French types. Today's breed is a product of crossbreeding in working class neighbourhoods of 1880's Paris. At the time they lived among the butchers and coaches of the Halles market but their special physique and happy disposition soon won them a place in high society and the artistic community. From then on they thrived.
Royal Canin is a leader in kibbles reasearch and development. Our advanced equipment, the Texturometer - aids us in measuring kbble hardness and the amount of force required to chew or break it. This allow us to create specifically shaped kibble to meet the needs of different breed's ability to pick-up and chew our product.
We also take size, shape, texture and density into consideration when developing our kibble and adapt it to the specific characteristics of each breed's needs.
Ideal Muscle Mass
The formula contains L-carnitine and contributes to maintaining muscle mass thanks to an optimal protein content of 26%.
Healthy Skin
This formula helps support the skin's barrier role (exclusive complex) and maintain the skins health (EPA & DHA).
Odour Reduction
This formula contributes to reducing intestinal fermentation which may cause digestive disorders, flatulence and bad stool odour.
Exclusive Kibble: Special brachycephalic jaw
A kibble exclusively deisgned to make it easier for the French Bulldog to pick up and encourage him to chew.

Welcome again! Continuing our walking through the photo facilities in Xiaomi Mi 8 6gb 128 GB (Global version). The camera sensor 1/2.55″ works very good. It is similar to pretty good compact camera (Pic. 1), so pictures are really good, which you could see in my previous article.
Let's have a look for a general picture quality in this Xiaomi Mi 8 smartphone. I have taken into account especially a chromatic aberration and sharpness, which are the most important elements comprising of general picture quality. I have embeded a few examples below (Pic. 2 – 8), which has been also cropped in order to show the details. Bokeh is a good feature, that Xiaomi Mi 8 can boost. I have described it previously, in case of the Portrait mode, however it is also perfect for another objects (Pic. 2, 3).
Sharpness works really good. A big sensors hides a lot of defects, that has been visible in earlier smartphones, like Samsung Galaxy S5, which I had ocassion to test before. Images can be easily mistaken with typical pictures taken by an moderate compact digital camera (Pic. 3,4).
A chromatic aberration remains practically invisible in normal photos. This bad feature can be spotted once you decide to take a picture with filters. Filters enhace some colors and faint another ones, which in effect emphasize some bad features. Anyway this is a not big issue, unlike to cheaper smartphones, where it is more discerneable, even in typical photo modes.
Now is the time to enclose the information about a zoom, provided by Xiaomi Mi 8 smartphone. The 6GB 128GB model has pretty much the same zoom weature as its another Mi 8 smartphones. A main optical zoom reaches 2x, which is still far better than in cheaper smartphones. Taking into account for instance Samsung Galaxy S5, the optical zoom was not provided there and user could use only a digital one up to 4x enlargement.
The optical zoom in Xiaomi Mi 8 can be used in all modes, except the Portrait and Manual one. In Photo and Square modes, this zoom can be suplemented by much bigger, however at least partially digital zoom, but let me show a few things first.
Firstly the zoom option you can find in a white circle, just above the imaging modes near the bottom of the screen (Pic. 7).
You can use the zoom option in Xiaomi Mi 8 6GB 128GB smartphone by touching the area inside this white circle. The optical zom will automatically change to 2x magnification. I will show the 2x enlargment examples in the sequences below. Before it I would like to say frankly, that I was very glad use the optical zoom in Panorama mode (Pic. 8 – 10). Due to enlargement user might have create a picture with double width (Pic. 8, 9), regardless of total angle of the panorama.
To see the real difference between these 2 panoramas, I have cropped both pictures and places them below (Pic. 10). There is a very important place, indicated by red arrows. Namely some of the parts during the panorama preparation were not sharp enough. probably I was moving the camera too fast and autofocus had not enough time to set properly. The result is poor in some middle part of the cropped picture, which looks more blurred.
As we came through a standard optical zoom offered by Xiaomi Mi 8 6GB 128GB global smartphone now we can discuss more about bigger enlargement possibilities. To make your zoom bigger, you must click on the white circle, shown above and hold it until you get the vertical zoom scale. Then you will be able to set the zoom value.
To be fair they are not as good as we could use in compact cameras, but at least exist. Being honest I would like to say, that the optical zoom really works up to 2x. Next, up to 4x user can still enjoy he optical zoom, which works by the pixel interpolation. If you don't know how it works in practise, read one of my previous articles. When enlargment is higher than 4x, the digital zoom takes hold, what becomes clearly visible not only in cropped pictures, but also in normal ones. See the examples of the zoom below. I prepared in order: zoom into close object (Pic. 12, 13), zoom into far, remarkable object (Pic. 14, 15) and zoom into far, thin object (Pic. 16, 17).
The zoom option in Xiaomi Mi 8 can offer also a macro feature. Basically the quality appears to be the same. A minimal distance to the object can be similar to some DSLR lenses and compact cameras. This is about 25 – 30 cm, however a bit better effect you will gain, when increase the distance a bit. In general a macro quality can compete with macro offered by some DSLR lenses, which does't have highlighted a macro as a feature (Pic. 18).
Knowing a general macro feature, which the Xiaomi Mi 8 device offers let's come through all zoom options and consider the macro photos taken from the minimum possible distance (about 25-30 cm)(Pic. 19, 20) as well as a bigger one (around 50 cm)(Pic. 21, 22).
Looking on aforementioned examples we can spot, that macro picture taken with bigger distance to the object looks better for lower enlargments, but much worse for bigger magnification. Bear in mind the focus set and give your smartphone camera some time to adjust the sharpness before you start taking this kind of picture. Sometimes can be good to stabilize your device properly also. Autofocus plays a vast role when your zoom is running. Every vibration is multiplied by zoom value.
See another examples of macro photos below:
The zoom feature provided by Xiaomi Mi 8 6GB 128GB (Global version) gives a possibilities to take a picture of remote objests as well as a basic macro images. However, as it is in the smartphones example, also here is a lot of things to work out in future Xiaomi models. For the time being it appears to be one of the best from the smartphone environment.

text: Tofu Bolognese It Doesn't Taste Like Chicken Yes, Tofu Bolognese is a thing. It's a very delicious thing that you should make immediately. I grew up in a household where whenever we didn't know what else to make for dinner, or we were feeling lazy, or tired, or hungry, or it was Monday, or Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, or even Friday, we would make pasta. Sure, we had other meals some nights, but who needs them when you could just have pasta? Probably the worlds most perfect food in my opinion. I'm pretty sure I could eat pasta every day and I would still love it. Thinking back, I always loved pasta sauces with meat in them. My dad always preferred pastas without any meat in them… my how the times have changed… So whenever we went to restaurants, I would hunt the menu for something along the lines of a meaty, tomato-y, spicy pasta and order, then devour said pasta dish. Just because I went vegan, doesn't mean that I don't love that satisfying hearty bowl of goodness. Except now it's even better because no one had to die, it's cholesterol free, lower in fat, higher in fiber, and the best part, it's so freaking lick the bowl scrumptious. Ohmygoodness, I just had Tofu Bolognese for dinner last night and these pictures make me want it all over again. (Am I allowed to drool over my own pictures)? This is an excerpt from the article Tofu Bolognese which originally appeared on http://itdoesnttastelikechicken.com/.

By: Kristy Moreno, Seven Graces Blog
We get so many questions about what are great toys for learning. This past year, Charlotte loved her first year of Mother's Day Out, essentially a mini-version of pre-school. She learned so much throughout the year, and I want to continue to reinforce what she learned during the summer. When I talked with one of my best girlfriends who has a daughter in kindergarten and a daughter Charlotte's age (3) about some toys she uses for preschool reinforcement, we came up with a list of some our favorite and best preschool toys for learning. I ordered a ton of these from Amazon, and Charlotte is already loving using them. Here are some favorite preschool toys for learning:
(affiliate links used below)
Hot Dots Jr.
The Alphabet Card Set, Numbers & Counting, Beginning Phonics, Colors, and Shapes
We have been loving these learning cards! They are perfect for independent learning or for guided learning for the little ones just starting to recognize these concepts. I've been helping Charlotte get the hang of using the cards by telling her what each one says or what letter or number is represented on the card sets we have right now. I think the more she is familiar with the process and the cards, she'll be able to work on these by herself. I am loving that we can do these together right now. We work with these cards for about 15 minutes at a time, twice a day, every day. I also love the storage boxes the cards come in. They are very sturdy, and Charlotte even likes to tote them around like a little purse.
If your little preschooler likes Pete the Cat, there is even a Pete the Cate set with over 200 learning activities geared toward kindergarten skills. You can find the rest of the learning card sets on Amazon.
Hot Dots Jr. Ace, The Talking, Teaching Dog Pen
This is the pen you'll need to use with your Hot Dots Jr. card sets. They also have various other pens (like this purple kitty). The talking dog pen ruffs and gives encouraging responses when a correct response is given (your little preschooler will simply follow the directions on the card and respond to each by pressing the correct black dot with the tip of the Talking, Teaching Dog Pen). You'll need two AAA batteries for this pen.
LeapFrog Learning DVD set
This DVD set includes three DVDs and one set of alphabet flash cards. The DVDs included are Let's Go to School, Letter Factory, and Talking Words Factory. In the DVDs, your preschooler will be learning lessons about phonics, letters, counting, days of the week, and animals, all while listening to rhyming songs.
LeapPad Platinum
This little tablet is great for learning! We've had this since Christmas, and Charlotte is really starting to get the hang of it and loving the games that can be used with it. I love it because it's so durable and can stand to be dropped on the ground without breaking. It also has a long battery life, making it pretty hassle-free.
LeapFrog LeapPad Games
Kindergarten Learning Game: Getting Ready for Kindergarten, Doc McStuffins: Problem Solving Learning Game // I've found the best deals for LeapPad games on Amazon. I love this kindergarten game because it gives an interactive classroom experience that provides a day in the life of a kindergartener. I'm also eyeing this Doc McStuffins game next. It teaches problem solving skills by doing check-ups and treating animals, while also learning health lessons along the way.
Summer Bridge Activities Book: Pre-K through K
Activity books are great for learning when you don't want to rely on any sort of electronic or device that needs batteries. This book has 15-minute exercises to review colors, shapes, and letters, and to learn new skills like addition, subtraction, and vowel sounds.
Brain Quest Workbook: Pre-K
Another fun workbook we're using this summer is this one by Brain Quest. This workbook has activities and games focused on ABCs, 123s, tracing letters, mazes, shapes, colors, beginning sounds, sorting and matching, and also has "what's wrong with this picture" games.
Crayola Jumbo Crayons
You'll need some writing utensils to use in the workbooks, so our choice is the jumbo crayon. You could use pencils, colored pens or pencils, or markers, but you can never go wrong with crayons since they can be used for coloring, too.
Expo Dry Erase Learning Board
If your preschooler is ready to start practicing writing or drawing lines or shapes, this dry erase board is perfect! The lined board makes handwriting fun when using these Crayola 6 count Dry Erase Washable Markers and makes for an easy clean up.
Crayola Dry Erase Activity Center
This one is great for on-the-go or at home! If you want a step above the typical dry erase learning board, this activity center has more than 25 interchangeable games and learning activities already made for you. And it always stays clean with a couple of swipes from a napkin!
All toys and activities mentioned above are geared toward the preschooler, ages 3-5.
Along with these fun games, we'll also be spending a lot of time outside, reading books, pretend playing in our mini-kitchen and playroom, working with building blocks, playing with play dough, cooking easy recipes, cutting coupons, sorting clothes, singing rhyming songs, working on our manners, and creating arts and crafts. I think that will keep us plenty busy until school starts again in September.
What fun activities will you and your preschooler be up to?

Corpse & Crown
About the Book
Corpse & Crown
Agatha DeLacey's family isn't rich or titled, so studying nursing at Ingold's East End hospital in London is a rare opportunity for her. Despite the school's focus on the innovative Bio-Mechanical program, Aggie cares more about the desperately poor human patients who flood the hospital, even if that means providing unauthorized treatment after-hours…and trusting a charming, endlessly resourceful thief.
But the Artful Dodger is barely a step ahead of his underworld rivals, the menacing Bill Sykes and mercurial Oliver Twist and Aggie's association with him soon leads her into danger. When a brutal attack leaves her blind, she and the Dodger find themselves at the mercy of an experimental Bio-Mech surgery. Though the procedure restores Aggie's sight, her new eyes come at an unnerving cost, and the changes in Dodger are even more alarming --- instead of seeing Aggie as the girl he fancies, he now views her as a potential threat.
As war between England and Germany brews on the horizon and a sinister medical conspiracy threatens to shatter the uneasy peace in Europe, Aggie and the Dodger must find a way to work together so they can protect their friends and expose the truth…even if it means risking their own survival.

Circular Economy
Definition: "A circular economy is a regenerative system in which resource input and waste, emission, and energy leakage are minimized by slowing, closing, and narrowing energy and material loops; this can be achieved through long-lasting design, maintenance, repair, reuse, remanufacturing, refurbishing, recycling, and upcycling. This is in contrast to a linear economy which is a 'take, make, dispose' model of production." Source
The concept of circularity has deep roots in the ancient times, and it has influenced many schools of philosophy. The idea was reawakened in modern times by industrialized states after World War II, when the approach of PC based research of non-linear systems unquestionably uncovered the complex,interrelated and unusual nature of the world we live in – more similar to a metabolism than a machine. With ongoing developments, digital innovation has the ability to help the conversion to a circular economy by fundamentally expanding de-materialization, transparency, and feedback-driven intelligence.
Unlike the linear economy, circular economy seeks to respect the environmental boundaries by increasing the share of renewable and recyclable resources and meanwhile reducing raw materials and consumption whilst at the same time optimizing output in a shared economy. Emissions and loss of resources will therefore be reduced. The circular economy creates value while it eliminates waste and maximizes product use, ultimately upending traditional notions of competitiveness.
Why is the shift from the linear economy necessary?
Our world population is growing at a fast pace. This is affecting the conditions of our environment. So, to ensure a comfortable environmental existence for the generations to come and, most importantly, that there will be enough food,water and prosperity in 2050, we need to switch from a linear to a circular economy. The aim is to ensure healthy safe living and working conditions and cause less harm to the environment.
Transitioning to a circular economy does not just aim to diminish the negative effects of the linear economy. Rather, represents a fundamental shift in systems that build long-term resilience, creates business and financial opportunities, and gives environmental and societal advantages.
How is Core Token using the Circular Economy?
Incorporating digital technology is essentially required to accelerate the systemic shifts needed to create a circular economy. The Core Token platform is developed on sharing of knowledge and collaboration, enhanced use of assets and resources, optimized waste recovery systems so we can achieve economic,environmental and social development goals. Core Token platform has several projects, named use cases, using the latest database technology, blockchain, to execute processes. CoreToken is a service system which connects the current world to the fast emerging blockchain based world through means of tokenization. Everything in this world is tokenizable.
How does the Circular Economy fit into Core Token`s philosophy?
All Core Token use cases (Pyrolysis, Waste Sorting and Processing, EnergyProduction (out of waste), Crypto-Mining, Chrome-Mining,E-Commerce-Platform:Toktokey,Wallmoney, etc. are implemented under the philosophy that "we only have one planet therefore we all have the responsibility to use its resources wisely leaving the planet in a better condition as we found her." To achieve that, Core Token deeply incorporated the principles of the circular economy, by creating its own ecosystem that aims to fundamentally change the way in which natural resources, raw materials and production and product use capacity, are valued and traded. The ecosystem incentives individuals and companies to unlock financial value from things that are currently wasted, redundant or treated as economically invaluable.This game-changing business model aims to drive extensive behavior change and help to realize a true circular economy in combination with other advanced technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, paving a way to tackle carbon emissions, climate change and other environmental challenges.
