Deep Latent Low-Rank Fusion Network for Progressive Subspace Discovery
Deep Latent Low-Rank Fusion Network for Progressive Subspace Discovery
Zhao Zhang, Jiahuan Ren, Zheng Zhang, Guangcan Liu
Proceedings of the Twenty-Ninth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence
Main track. Pages 2762-2768. https://doi.org/10.24963/ijcai.2020/383
Low-rank representation is powerful for recover-ing and clustering the subspace structures, but it cannot obtain deep hierarchical information due to the single-layer mode. In this paper, we present a new and effective strategy to extend the sin-gle-layer latent low-rank models into multi-ple-layers, and propose a new and progressive Deep Latent Low-Rank Fusion Network (DLRF-Net) to uncover deep features and struc-tures embedded in input data. The basic idea of DLRF-Net is to refine features progressively from the previous layers by fusing the subspaces in each layer, which can potentially obtain accurate fea-tures and subspaces for representation. To learn deep information, DLRF-Net inputs shallow fea-tures of the last layers into subsequent layers. Then, it recovers the deeper features and hierar-chical information by congregating the projective subspaces and clustering subspaces respectively in each layer. Thus, one can learn hierarchical sub-spaces, remove noise and discover the underlying clean subspaces. Note that most existing latent low-rank coding models can be extended to multi-layers using DLRF-Net. Extensive results show that our network can deliver enhanced perfor-mance over other related frameworks.

14 Nov Access for free the book «Ukrainian Migration to the European Union» by Olena Fedyuk and Marta Kindler (eds.)
Olena Fedyuk and Marta Kindler's new book called «Ukrainian Migration to the European Union» and published by Springer is now available. You can download the e-version of it for free on the following link:
This open access book provides a comprehensive examination into the flow of Ukrainian nationals to the EU. The chapters encompass and historicize this migration against a string of crises experienced by Ukraine and the region in the last three decades, from the dissolution of the USSR to changes in the EU borders to the failed economic reforms in independent Ukraine. The book engages in an impressive overview of major publications available in a variety of disciplines and in several languages, including Russian, Ukrainian, and English. It presents readers with a critical analysis of these authoritative sources along with linking historic and contemporary texts to establish continuity of the migratory trends and practices. Coverage brings together spatial, temporal, and geopolitical perspectives, offering expert analysis in such areas as economics, immigration policies, history, gender, and migration studies. In addition, the contributors also present Ukrainian migration as it is experienced within seven European countries: the Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, Italy, Poland, Portugal, and Spain. Drawing on data obtained in each country, these detailed portraits identify main trends and will help readers to better understand the dynamics of migration flow in the region as a whole. Overall, this volume provides researchers, policy makers and policy scholars, as well as students with a comprehensive overview of the wide-ranging research on this topic, a research that has been steadily growing in the last decades in a variety of disciplines but so far has not been brought together or thoroughly connected. It presents an insightful investigation that reveals not only the durability and ongoing transformation of the migratory flows from Ukraine but the restrictions of the ideological agendas that guide the research of this process.

A federal trial began Wednesday for a married couple accused of orchestrating a $300 million fraud involving thousands of investors who were promised big profits by purchasing dilapidated properties in the Florida Keys and elsewhere that would be transformed into luxurious resorts.
Instead, prosecutors say Fred Davis "Dave" Clark Jr., former president of now-defunct Cay Clubs Resorts and Marinas, and Cristal Clark, a top sales agent, defrauded banks and about 1,400 individual investors through a series of misleading marketing materials and false statements. The investors in some cases were promised quick returns of 15 to 20 percent, according to court documents.
One such brochure, according to the documents, trumpeted that Clearwater-based Cay Clubs would allow people to "Retire Rich and Young in Paradise!" In fact, Assistant U.S. Attorney Jerrob Duffy told jurors in an opening statement, the company knew as early as 2007 it could not meet all its obligations and would never transform its decayed properties into luxury resorts.
"This case is about greed. It is about lies and deception,'' Duffy said. "It is about telling those lies to others so the defendants could get rich on other people's money."
Eventually, the company allegedly became a Ponzi scheme in which money from newer investors was used to pay off older ones, with no new profits or loans coming in. The company's resorts were supposed to be in 17 locations in Florida, Las Vegas and the Caribbean.
The Clarks previously pleaded not guilty to bank fraud, mail fraud and conspiracy charges. If convicted, they each face potentially decades in federal prison. The trial before U.S. District Judge Jose E. Martinez is expected to last about six weeks.
Dave Clark's attorney, Valentin Rodriguez, said the planned Cay Clubs developments were legitimate, had been appraised by banks, and only appeared to be selling at highly inflated prices because of the real estate bubble of the mid-2000s. The company's problems and eventual collapse, he said, were caused by the financial recession, not any criminal acts.
"Yes, Cay Clubs failed. Failure is not a crime,'' Rodriguez said. "Mr. Clark was completely forthright in everything he did."
Cristal Clark's attorney, Assistant Federal Public Defender Manuel Arteaga-Gomez, said she relied on her husband and her husband's financial and legal advisers for the actions she took.
"She never intended to defraud any banks, any people who purchased units,'' he said. "She's innocent."
In June 2014, Dave Clark was extradited from Panama and Cristal Clark from Honduras to face the U.S. charges and have been jailed as flight risks ever since. After Cay Clubs failed, Dave Clark and two partners formed a Cayman Islands-based company that opened a string of pawn shops across the Caribbean known as CashWiz.
Some of the fraud charges against the Clarks stem from that business. Duffy told jurors the couple was illegally siphoning off for themselves cash the company was making buying and selling gold. Eventually the partners forced Dave Clark out after the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a lawsuit against him over Cay Clubs.
Two former Cays Club executives, Barry J. Graham and Ricky Lynn Stokes, both of Fort Myers, were sentenced to five years each in prison in March after pleading guilty to their roles in the scheme. Both agreed to cooperate with prosecutors in return for lighter sentences and are expected to testify.

A man died after ramming his motorcycle into the side of a Sports Utility Vehicle in Canarsie late Tuesday night.
Flatbush resident Roshaun Miller, 31, was heading south on Rockaway Parkway with a 16-year-old passenger aboard his 2013 Yamaha at 11:51 p.m., when he collided with the passenger side of a 2005 Nissan Murano as it turned left onto Avenue K off the northbound Rockaway Parkway, according to a police spokesman, who relayed the preliminary findings of an investigation by the Police Departments Collision Investigation Squad.
Paramedics declared Miller dead at the scene, while the teenager was taken to Brookdale Hospital Medical Center in stable condition, cops said.
The 24-year-old operator of the Nissan remained at the scene following the crash, and police have so far declined to press charges.

Breakfast yesterday while watching Friends. I started Friends again on Netflix. It's such a good show!
Thank you to Sports Research for sending me this awesome hand mixer! I cannot wait to use it. I ordered some pumpkin spice protein powder, so I can't wait to add that to my coffee to make a yummy treat.
I headed to the Y mid-morning to spend some time on the elliptical. Look what was on when I started my workout – Friends! The elliptical felt really good. I took it easy and only did 20 minutes, but it still felt good to get my legs moving.
After the elliptical, I ran/walked a mile on the treadmill. My legs are healing really well! I will probably still wait until Saturday or Sunday to run, but my body is recovering how I wanted it too, so I'm thankful for that.
BCAAs after my workout! My muscles need all the good stuff they can get right now.
I'm really excited to share this app with you! Now that marathon training is over, I really want to focus on building some muscle. I know it will help my running, too. I couldn't decide how I wanted to keep track of my workouts, so I did a little research. I've only used this app THIS week two times, so I'm not an expert and I don't know everything about it, but so far, I really like it! It's called Strong. You can pick a muscle group and then from there, choose various movements that work that area. Here's an arm workout I did.
When you start the workout, it pulls up the below screen. It has reps and weight and a check mark for when you finish each round. I haven't done this workout a second time yet to compare it to the first time, but I will share that once I do! I'm hoping it'll track both of the workouts somehow and keep track of where I started and any improvements I make. Anyway, I really like how it's set up, so I just wanted to share!
I found this picture from awards on Sunday! Jake gave me his jacket as soon as I crossed the finish line. I was so grateful because I couldn't stop shivering!
Lunch yesterday – fish, green beans, chocolate cereal, and pretzels.
If you use Nuun, here's my ambassador code I can share with you!! I love Nuun and use the immunity tablets and electrolyte tablets ALL the time.
Sometimes you need to just work on the floor. After my workout, I brought my computer to my yoga mat and knocked out a few things. Lu was passed out in Jake's recliner.
Snack time – yogurt with collagen and oats and two banana pumpkin cookies.
More snacks…
Aaaaand yet another snack. I told you! I'm starving right now!
I got some chocolate milk at the store on Monday. I hadn't had any until yestday. It's so delicious.
Sorry for my creepy face. Lu and I got some good cuddles in before Jake got home from work.
Jake got home and we looked at bikes. He wants to get me a road bike, so it was fun to look at the different options. Who knew there were SO many different things to consider when look at bikes. Jake's basically been riding since before he could walk, so he understands all the bike stuff. I don't get any of it…I hardly rode a bike when I was younger, so I'm trying to learn! Also, we LOVE Winter Grind.
Bikes and beers – Jake's favorite things.
Dinner was leftover Gouda and apple chicken with salad.
I know rest and recovery are so important after a race, but I am ready to get back into running! This week is flying by, so I hope it continues to do that. I get antsy when I don't run.
Happy Friday Eve, friends!

And a break for the horse too from pulling tree stumps!
Historic Hood River
The Neff Bros. stereocard image shows either a logging operation or a field clearing operation. Whichever it is, those men look happy to take a quick break to let the Neff Bros. do their work.

Makes me wonder from the looks of those stumps if they were not dynamited out of the ground. I am thinking they are using that horse not to attempt to pull stumps, because I have my doubts whether a horse could pull a stump, even if the roots were chopped, but to pull them to the burn pile. I notice off to the right they have been sawing up the wood for fires. Okay someone, what on earth is that box like contraption with the sled type runners which appear to be beside it?
Not to mention those big poles……….Buzz is the logger, can he figure it out?
No clue what the poles and wooden sled/box are for. But seems pretty obvious this is a stump pulling/land clearing operation. Trees in background and size of stumps indicate nothing big enough to economically use for saw logs. May have cut up some small trees for firewood. As I learned, not economical to use enough powder to blow stumps completely out of the ground. Horse used to start pulling split up stump from ground and expose roots that need to be chopped off. Have seen old pictures of my ancestors in Upper Michigan using the partial stumps and attached roots stacked on top of each other and used for fences along property lines. Old timers did a lot of sweating to create beautiful and economical orchards in Hood River valley.
The size of the standing trees looks like second growth.
I wonder if the wooden contraption is the stump puller? I know they had stump pullers that were stationary, that could clear stumps in a large circle around the machine. The horse did the work of pulling the cable. Once all the stumps were pulled, the horse pulled it to another area to work another circle.
I wonder if old HR Glacier issues have the stump puller for sale?
I assume Arthur is saying the Neff Brothers were the photographers, but the August 22, 1902 HR Glacier has an article about local farms one of which the Neff Brothers were farming:
"….Divers ranch, is now owned by Captain A.S. Blower. This place contains 320 acres, 80 in cultivation. The principal crop is hay. The Neff brothers, W.E. and Mike, farm Captain Blowers' place. They are good farmers, industrious and good citizens…."
Dale Nicol
L.E., you are correct about the stump puller shown above.
If you want to see a stump puller today, there is one located outside of WAAAAM's entrance on the west side.

Aluminum Production Tooling
Unique tool specializes in the manufacture of high volume production injection moulds made out of hybrid aluminum materials. We are leaders in this concept which has begun to revolutionize the injection mould industry. Just over 9 years ago, Unique Tool initiated this movement throughout Honda. Since then we began working hand in hand with Honda to create tooling standards for hybrid aluminum tooling. Many hours of R&D have gone into helping them achieve their goal of lowering tooling and production costs while maintaining part quality. These requirements were previously achieved only with carbon alloy steel. Today we have built many tools for various OEM's which have been proven to withstand production and performance requirements. Some jobs have in excess of 2 million shots and are ready for more!
Aluminum Prototype Tooling
Unique has built a number of soft aluminum prototype tools to support quick customer requirements and help develop, prove-out and learn part behaviour and fit. This type of tooling is much different from the Aluminum Production tooling wherein these tools are designed for minimal shots and often are not representative of production delivery sytems, manifolds, SVG, etc.

Super-De-Light R300's at Silverstone
15th June 2015
The R300-S Championship did not disappoint at Silverstone.
Not only was Caterham supporting the British GT Championship, they were also live on TV and the race could not have been better. Continuing on from the first two rounds we saw the same intense battle between David Robinson and Aaron Head unfold. Robinson has won five and finished second once from the six races now completed, compared to his main rival, Head who has finished second, five times and won once.
Robinson picked up a few penalty points during the first round, which keeps the championship hunt that much closer with only three points separating the pair. Sean Byrne stuck with the prevalent pair for both races adding more excitement and a three way scrap for the lead. We thought he might keep his nose in front, but he was pipped at the post by the dynamic duo and had to settle for third in both races. After showing that he had the pace not just to stick with the leaders but to challenge them we wouldn't be surprised if he climbs higher on the podium steps very soon.
However the three of them were not the only ones with their eyes set on a podium finish. We had fantastic racing from Jon Mortimer, Lee Wiggins, Matt Dyer, Michael Gazda, Trevor Carvey, Paul Thacker, our guest driver Ben Anderson and Jason Redding, who spent the entire race battling it out to get maximum points. (Yes we do realise we just listed eight drivers, but that's Caterham racing for you!).
Being a guest driver can have its disadvantages: The cars are difficult to get the hang of (not in Matt Dyer's case who proved this in the first round taking third place after less than two days in the car) but Ben Anderson, who hasn't raced an R300 since 2009 and had never driven the sequential version, did exceptionally well, considering he hardly had any testing before the Silverstone race. He also commented after that "It's honestly the most fun I've had on track in a long time". He enjoyed it so much, he is now considering racing in one of the Caterham Championships.
Silverstone saw every car on the grid with a sequential gearbox. At the beginning of the season Stewart Calder and Paul O'Reilly started in cars with H-Pattern gearboxes. That has all changed now as Calder upgraded before Donington and O'Reilly before Silverstone. They are both now within reach of picking up some good results and points and this was shown in the TSL analysis where Calder was at the top of the MPH listing, reaching a staggering 129.5MPH (we must give credit where it is due!) It will be interesting to see how they get on through the rest of the season.
Brent Millage is sitting comfortably in the middle of the results, alongside returning Caterham racer Jeremy Ellis. The progression shown from the pair could see them land some solid results and challenge the front runners in the not too distant future.
We look forward to seeing more action from the pair of them. Stuart Simpson and Carlton Brown joined us at Silverstone for their first round in the R300-S Championship. They qualified omfortably in the middle of the pack proving that despite only joining for this round they still have what it takes to be competitive. Sadly neither were able to secure the results we know they are capable of, therefore we look forward to welcoming them back at Brands Hatch to see what they can deliver then.
At Silverstone the marshals chose Dyer's car again for the Autoglym award, but having won before, their second choice, Lee Wiggins, got the prize. We think it's fair that you can only win once so we can share the prizes out. For your chance to win, and join us on the podium make sure your car is well presented, clean and tidy.

Chaayos draws flak for use of facial recognition tech
New Delhi, Nov 22 (IANS) The use of facial recognition technology by Chaayos at select outlets has sparked anger on social media after some customers alleged that the popular tea cafe chain has deployed the tech without proper notice and an option to opt out.
In stores where the technology is deployed, the message that flashes on the tablet reads, "why put numbers through, when we can identify you?".
But the practice of collecting facial data has not gone down well with many users who raised questions about privacy protection.
"Chaayos wants to sneakily capture your facial aata with your next cup of chai," said one user.
"I decided to boycott @Chaayos the moment they made phone numbers compulsory to order. All of this data IS being sold! I've seen a lot of it on the market from different entities! If there weren't plans to sell it, they wouldn't collect it. They'd just be selling Chai," said data analyst Shivam Shankar Singh.
Software Freedom Law Centre (SFLC.in), a Delhi-based not-for-profit legal services body, said use of the technology by Chaayos' "goes against basic data protection principles".
"The fact that Chaayos is making use of FRT (facial recognition technology) without a proper notice and devoid of an opt-out goes against basic data protection principles. We urge govts. And companies to not use facial recognition technology, more so when India is still deliberating on a data protection law," SFLC.in said in a tweet.
"Whether it's the govt or private companies, making use of facial recognition technology violates the right to privacy of citizens," it added.
Founded in 2012, Chaayos has nearly 70 cafes across Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon, Faridabad, Chandigarh and Mumbai.
In a statement, Chaayos said it was not misusing the data collected through the facial recognition technology.
It claimed that data from the facial recognition feature is encrypted and cannot be accessed by any party, including Chaayos itself except for the purpose of logging-in its customers.
"Since inception, Sunshine Teahouse Pvt Ltd ("Chaayos") has strived to leverage technology to deliver great customer experience. Towards this endeavour, we have recently launched a facial recognition feature at our Point of Sale as an option to eliminate the hassles of OTPs and reduce the overall customer purchase time," said Chaayos.
"The feature is currently in the beta phase at select cafes and will be officially rolled out post thorough testing," it added.
Chaayos also denied that there are no "opt out" options.
"Moreover, customers have the right to not opt in for facial recognition feature and instead use their phone number to enjoy benefits of our loyalty programme," Chaayos said.
"We also provide our customers with a permanent 'opt-out' feature on our website, where-in they can choose to permanently delete their pictures captured by our systems at any point of time," the company added.

It's been a long hiatus from any updates to the Michelin dining guide. The Michelin stars for fine dining and more informal and affordable Bib Gourmands were last awarded in 2019 when the Bay Area received an impressive 62 stars and 72 bib gourmands. Michelin took a break in 2020 given the pandemic, so it's now been a solid two years since the guide has been updated — though there have been a few teasers, when Michelin gave special acknowledgment to Horn Barbecue in Oakland and Ettan in Palo Alto, among others, in advance of the official awards.
But now, the stars and bibs are back. Today, September 22, the California guide has been updated with a fresh round of Bib Gourmands. There are 45 new Bib Gourmands just announced across the state of California, and 20 local to the Bay Area, including Sacramento. Remember, the Bib Gourmands are defined as "restaurants [that] offer a full menu of a starter, main course and dessert, making it possible to order two courses and a glass of wine or dessert for around $40 or less (tax and gratuity not included)."
Keep in mind, 20 isn't the final total — these are only the new bibs for this year, and Michelin will be following up with the full guide next week, including all those restaurants that retained their bibs from two years ago. But congratulations to the newcomers, and Bay Area locals will fist pump a few hometown favorites, including those thin-skinned and explosive soup dumplings from Dumpling House, chile verde tacos and tostadas from Tacos Oscar, saucy Korean fried chicken wings from Umma, and you knew this one was coming — the smoked out brisket and ribs of legendary Horn Barbecue. Check out the list of newcomers below, and click through to the Michelin site if you want the guide's explanations.
- ASA South (Los Gatos)
- Dumpling Home (San Francisco)
- FOB Kitchen (Oakland)
- FolkTable (Sonoma)
- Horn Barbecue (Oakland)
- iTalico (Palo Alto)
- Khom Loi (Sebastopol)

Still to come: Next week, on September 28, there will be a fresh round of stars. So stay tuned.

You are organized. You planned ahead. You're prepared for everything, but you didn't plan on the fire. Your BOB in the trunk of your car burned up with everything else when your overheating car turned into an inferno. You barely made it out yourself, and now you're stranded alone and in the worst situation possible: no water, no food, and no help. You're on your own, and your stomach is beginning to growl.
Maybe it isn't obvious right now, but you are literally surrounded by food, as long as you expand the commonly held definition of what you consider food. On day three, a lizard might still just be a lizard, but by day nine, a lizard is a porterhouse steak.
When "Survivor" first premiered, every episode showed people "stranded" in some remote place nearly starving to death despite the wild grocery store that surrounded them. Insects and reptiles scurried through the underbrush while monkeys scampered through the tree branches. All I could do was laugh. But what is not funny is that every year there are people who find themselves in a wilderness survival situation. Many times the people starve to death and there is no reason for it.
Food of all types surrounds us if you know where to look. This lesson came to light while watching "Survivor." One of the contestants caught a bunch of grasshoppers, which he was using as bait in an effort to catch a fish. Though this was a good idea, after a few hours with nothing to show for it, the man was just wasting time and energy. My daughter turned to me and said, "Why doesn't he just eat the grasshoppers?" That was a good question and the logical choice, but the man didn't do that and spent another night hungry, overlooking the obvious source of nutrition from the grasshoppers.
To that contestant, grasshoppers weren't food. How wrong he was. Growing up, my father always told me, "If it walks, flies, swims, or crawls, you can eat it." While it is an apt lesson about the availability of food in a survival situation, it needed some modification. You cannot eat everything that walks, crawls, swims, or flies, because many insects, as well as some reptiles and fish, are highly toxic. If you are unfamiliar with the area you find yourself in and the different wildlife that lives in that environment, please use extra caution before eating anything, plant or animal. If in doubt, pass it up.
Countless times we hear of the use of spears, traps, and snares, but what happens if you are unable to construct these devices or you don't know how they work? Are you destined to go starve? The answer is a resounding "No." Birds, small rodents, and fish can be difficult to capture without the use of traps or snares, but nature is full of many other kinds of animals that are easy to obtain. In a survival situation, the creatures you should be going for are those that will require the least amount of energy to obtain. If you burn more calories hunting for food than you take in when you do get something then you are defeating the very purpose of eating. The environment you are in will dictate what you should pursue.
Note: Be advised that many animals are protected by both state and federal laws. To kill or harm any animal, no matter how small, could be illegal. All of the information presented here is for emergency survival only.
"On day three, a lizard might still just be a lizard, but by day nine, a lizard is a porterhouse steak. "
Where there is water there is food. An environment with water is the ideal situation in which to be stranded. Fresh water ponds, small lakes, streams, and marshes will provide such edibles as both mature frogs and tadpoles. There may also be fresh water mollusks such as snails and mussels. River snails or freshwater periwinkles are plentiful in rivers, streams, and lakes of North America. Look for them in the shallows, especially in water with a sandy or muddy bottom.
Search the low hanging bushes for birds' eggs or even baby birds. Don't pass up a turtle or a snake that you happen upon. However, a word of caution: Unless you know the different species of snakes found in the area you are in (harmless vs. venomous), avoid snakes. You also need to be wary of snapping turtles and in some areas, the box turtle, which feeds on poisonous mushrooms and may build up a highly toxic poison in its flesh. Cooking does not destroy this toxin. Streams are a great source of food such as crayfish and small fish may be taken out
of small, shallow pools.
If you find yourself around the ocean, your food choices are even better. You will find saltwater shellfish such as snails, clams, mussels, bivalves, barnacles, periwinkles, chitons, and sea urchins. Many birds found along the coast nest on the ground, so take advantage of this. Tidal pools are great places to find many varieties of saltwater snails, small crabs, and sea urchins. Attached to rocks you will find mussels. Most every fish with fins can be eaten.
You've caught dinner, so now what? If you have your pack with you, you will have a piece of aluminum foil. You can take this piece of aluminum foil and form it into a bowl. This will now form a cooking pot. If not, the world is littered with trash and you might be lucky enough to find an old beer can or a discarded tin can. Barring that, find a thin rock that can be used as a frying pan.
Insects like grasshoppers, crickets, scorpions, ants, and termites can all be eaten raw. Things such as frogs, shellfish, fin fish and birds' eggs should be cooked before eating. When you get back to your makeshift camp, go over the food that you have gathered. Shellfish, like mussels, should have their shells closed. If any of them are open discard them as they are not safe to eat. If the shells are closed then just place them in your bowl and put the whole thing in the coals at the edge of your fire.
You can also just set them on a hot flat rock at the fire's edge. Once the shell pops open they are ready to eat. Reptiles, amphibians, and fish need to be cleaned before cooking. Once cleaned they can be skewed on a stick and cooked over the fire. Turtles can be placed in the hot coals and cooked right in the shell. Birds' eggs can be broken open and cooked on a flat rock. Earthworms and grubs can be eaten raw or added with other wild edibles to make a soup.
"While this is not what anyone would call "fine dining," it will keep you alive in an emergency situation."
Inland areas of high and dry ground present their own opportunities. Open fields yield grasshoppers and crickets, both of which are edible and a great source of protein. In the forest, among the leaf litter and undergrowth, earthworms and slugs are readily available. Search rotting logs for termites, ants, and grubs. Insects are the most abundant lifeform on earth and can be easily caught. Look for rotting logs, stones, branches, and anything on the ground that might provide a good hiding place. Worms too are a great source of protein. After collecting them, place them in some clean water, where they will clean themselves out. After that, bon appetit.
You may also come across small frogs and salamanders. Both are viable options as a food source, though some salamanders may be toxic. Rule of thumb is if it has bright colors it is likely toxic. Always err on the side of caution. As disgusting as it sounds to us, all of these critters are eaten by people around the world on a regular basis. You won't gain weight by eating worms and crickets, but you will stay alive. Consider birds' eggs and baby birds in the nests. Most forest-dwelling birds build nests out of reach of predators but if you stay observant, you may find some at an elevation you can reach.
In the desert food can be more difficult to find and more dangerous once you do. The desert is a harsh environment, and the animals that live there are well adapted at protecting themselves from being something's next meal, including you. Insects are a great choice, as are lizards. Many lizards will be found sunning themselves on rocks, but so do venomous snakes, so be careful.
With that said, scorpions and other edibles can be found under rocks. If you do find a scorpion, pin it to the ground with a stick and, using your knife or a sharp rock, cut off the tail and stinger as that is the dangerous part. Pull off the shells and cook over the fire.
Usually people are scared of the business end of the animal, the teeth and claws of mammals, or the quills and barbs of some fish. However, many creatures you may come across in a survival situation have many more tricks to keep potential predators at bay. Simply put, they're poisonous. Here are eight of the most poisonous animals from around the world you'd do best to avoid, but you might notice that most of them live in and around Australia, where everything there is designed to kill you.
Blue-Ringed Octopus
Ironically, the bite of this octopus doesn't hurt, but the toxins in its saliva will eventually kill you. First, you will feel a numbness around the bite and that numbness will spread throughout the body. Soon, it will reach the muscles
that control breathing and you will die.
Box Jellyfish
Accidentally contact the tentacles of the Box Jellyfish (found in western waters of the Pacific Ocean), and you will experience excruciating pain for weeks, as its venom can stop the heart or paralyze the lungs, as well as eat
away at the skin.
Death Stalker Scorpion
Found in North Africa and the Middle East, a sting from the Death Stalker Scorpion causes tremendous pain and a fever. If untreated, you will become paralyzed, slip into a coma and die. It is the most toxic scorpion in the world.
Inland Taipan
The Inland Taipan, native to Australia, is considered the most poisonous snake on earth. One bite contains enough toxin (about 110 milligrams per bit) to kill nearly 100 people. Its toxin can cause vomiting and will eventually stop a human from being able to breathe.
Marbled Cone Snail
Sure, it's easy to catch because it is a slow-moving snail found in coral reefs around the world, but the sharp "tooth" on the end of its nose can lash out quickly and deliver an immediately paralyzing sting. When the paralysis reaches the lungs and heart of a human, death follows.
Poison Dart Frog
From the rainforests of Central and South America, the Poison Dart Frog's skin contains a toxin that has the ability to kill anything that touches it. And it only takes a very small amount to bring down a large animal, sometimes even a human.
Looking like a piece of rock or coral, the Stonefish is found in the waters of the Pacific Ocean around Australia and attacks nearby fish from its camouflaged position with its 13 toxin-filled spines. In humans, the venom causes
pain, swelling, shock and, eventually, death.
Sydney Funnel-Web Spider
Large and aggressive, the Sydney Funnel-Web Spider is found in Australia and it has the most venomous toxins of any spider. A single bite causes great pain and can kill a person in under 15 minutes.
While this is not what anyone would call "fine dining," it will keep you alive in an emergency situation. Hopefully, you did all of the right things before venturing out, like letting someone know where you were going and when you would be back; also that you are carrying your pack with the gear you would need to survive, including some food. If you did these things, chances are you won't be forced to eat earthworms and scorpions. If that's not the case, keep your wits about you and understand that, no matter where you are, you are surrounded by food

eMachines plants new PCs for spring
The low-price PC maker releases its second-quarter PC lineup: Three new models feature faster processors. Some include more memory and larger hard drives, as well.
The low-price PC maker on Monday released its second-quarter PC lineup. The three new models, whose specifications were quietly posted on its Web site over the weekend, feature faster processors. Some include more memory and larger hard drives, as well.
eMachines, which sells desktops mainly at retailers such as Best Buy and Circuit City in the United States, refreshes its PC lineup quarterly, upgrading components such as processors as prices fall. Its opening price is always $399, and the company usually offers models at $499 and $599 or $649.
Using this strategy, eMachines has become the No. 2 PC seller at retail, behind Hewlett-Packard. PC prices also move in its favor. In February, desktop prices hit an all-time low at retail in the United States. They averaged just $717, according to new research from NPD Techworld.
eMachines' new $399 desktop, the T2240, includes a 2.2GHz Celeron processor from Intel, along with 128MB of RAM, a 40GB hard drive and a CD-ROM drive. Its predecessor, the T1842, offered a 1.8GHz Celeron.
The PC maker's new $499 desktop, the T2245, also includes a 2.2GHz Celeron. It pairs the chip with 256MB of RAM, a 40GB hard drive, a CD burner and a DVD-ROM drive. eMachines' previous $499 model, the T2042, included a 2GHz Celeron and 128MB of RAM.
The $599 T2385 features a 2.3GHz Celeron, 512MB of RAM, an 80GB hard drive, a CD burner and a DVD-ROM drive. It replaces the T2260, which had an Athlon XP 2200+ from Advanced Micro Devices.
Meanwhile, eMachines has been expanding its horizons by offering desktops models at prices between $749 and $999.
eMachines' most recent models in the $749-and-up category were the Intel Pentium 4-based T4480 and T45110 desktops, priced at $849 and $899, respectively. The two models were released at the beginning of March.
The company is also building special models for chains such as Costco and Wal-Mart Stores.
Wal-Mart recently began offering a computer dubbed the W2260. The desktop includes an AMD Athlon XP 2200+, 256MB of RAM, a 60GB hard drive, a CD burner and a DVD-ROM drive and is bundled with a 15-inch eMachines flat-panel display. It sells for $798, including the price of the monitor, according to Wal-Mart's Web site.
eMachines has been eyeing a wider launch of the flat-panel display that is bundled with the Wal-Mart PC, but the company has not yet said when it plans to do so.
The 15-inch display appears to add about $200 to the price of the W2260 PC bundle. That's a competitive price relative to other 15-inch flat panels now on the market, which start closer to $250.
The company is also planning a move into the notebook market later in the year, but it has not revealed details yet.

Harvard University Press has partnered with De Gruyter to make available for sale worldwide virtually all in-copyright HUP books that had become unavailable since their original publication. The 2,800 titles in the "e-ditions" program can be purchased individually as PDF eBooks or as hardcover reprint ("print-on-demand") editions via the "Available from De Gruyter" link above. They are also available to institutions in ten separate subject-area packages that reflect the entire spectrum of the Press's catalog. More about the E-ditions Program »
Book collectors, students of bibliography and of literature, librarians, and intelligent readers generally will find here the answer to many of their questions about printing. The author has assumed that such readers do not want minute details of engineering information but that they have a legitimate curiosity about how books were produced until recent times and who produced them. His discussion of printing history, the printer's tools and methods of work, the development of type design, and the designing of books will give the amateur a foundation for the appreciation of typography. As a convenient summary of widely scattered information and as a map for further explorations in a particularly interesting field, the volume will be a welcome addition to even the most modest shelf of books.

For Women In Prison, The Only 'Choice' Is No Choice
Abortion is the new protection racket.
Three states among the 28 that will ban or restrict abortion if Roe v. Wade is overturned — Arizona, Florida, West Virginia — have specifically vowed to "Protect Life in the Womb at 15-Weeks Gestation."
If elected, Michigan Republican gubernatorial hopeful Garrett Soldano wants to "protect" the DNA of fetuses by banning abortion.
"It is my sincere hope that, in addition to the criminal bill passed this session, this civil liability bill will provide strong, additional protection of the life of unborn children in Oklahoma," said Wendi Stearman, the Republican state representative who sponsored the bill that defines fertilization as the start of life — one that would be the most restrictive in the country when Gov. Kevin Stitt soon signs it as partial fulfillment of his promise to make Oklahoma the most anti-abortion state in the country.
Even Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito got into the protection game. In his leaked draft opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, Alito wrote that "Roe [v. Wade]'s central holding" was "that a state may not constitutionally protect fetal life before 'viability.'" He and four other justices want states to protect fetal life at all stages.
One need look no further than prisons and jails to see that the purpose of regulating reproductive rights isn't to protect anyone but rather to frustrate a woman's will.
Because women have no choice inside them, prisons and jails would be the perfect place to execute consistent reproductive guidelines; after all, prison is a place devoid of choice. Reproductive rules should be clear in these places because the authorities who make them have absolute control. Policy is much easier to implement when few — maybe none — can effectively challenge it.
But correctional reproductive practices are entirely inconsistent.
Only 21 states have codified anything regarding an inmate's access to abortion. In the remaining 29, it's overly generous to describe situations as administrators' "case-by-case" decisions. Essentially, prisons and jails can make it up as they go.
And that's exactly what they do. A pioneering study, published online last year by the Guttmacher Institute and Johns Hopkins University, of 22 state prison systems, the Federal Bureau of Prisons, and six local jails — places that house 57 percent of incarcerated women — found 11 states that explicitly allow abortion for incarcerated persons in the first and second trimesters and three that don't allow it at all.
But it's not clear that the states that say they allow choice and freedom mean it. The abortion rate was 1.4 percent for prisons and 18 percent for jails, the latter being much closer to the national rate of 20 percent.
Their lower abortion rates doesn't mean that prisons are more restrictive than jails. Jails and prisons aren't the same facilities; in 44 states, defendants are detained in jails while sentenced inmates live in prisons. It would make sense that women who enter custody pregnant and choose an abortion would make that choice in the earlier part of their incarceration.
The Guttmacher/Johns Hopkins study may be groundbreaking but it has limited utility. Examination of these statistics provide no insight into whether incarcerated women wanted and chose the pregnancy results they live with. And there's reason to doubt that they do.
Last year a Nebraska prisoner sued for access to abortion services after she was denied transport to a local clinic. But for the ACLU jumping in and filing suit to secure an emergency order, administrators' decisions might have been final. It was just the most recent example of a woman's choice being intentionally obstructed; it's happened in other states like New Jersey, Virginia, and Alabama.
But prisons aren't so invested in women having babies; what prison administrators want is control. From 2003 to 2014, the California Department of Correction of Rehabilitation sterilized 1400 women prisoners without their informed consent. A documentary released in 2020 titled Belly of the Beast shed more light on this atrocity.
It appears that women who expressed a desire for future childbearing were targeted for these illegal procedures. A doctor asked then-inmate Kelli Dillon if she wanted children in the future and she answered in the affirmative. The doctor then proceeded to perform a hysterectomy on Dillon, telling her both that she could have children in the future and that cancer necessitated his extreme surgical decision. Neither of the doctor's statements were true. It stands to reason that if Dillon had forsworn children her reproductive organs might have remained intact.
This isn't some extension of the right to life movement infiltrating correctional spaces. Ann Hose's case is proof that carceral systems seek to impede a woman's choice even if she wants to keep a pregnancy. A nurse in a Hawaii prison injected inmate Hose with depo provera, a contraceptive injection, without her agreement. Hose wanted to maintain the pregnancy; she asked to call her husband to discuss her decision but wasn't allowed.
We know about all of these cases because they made their way to media outlets after someone filed suit over the decisions forced on the plaintiff women. Scores of untold stories await, tales of women who want to give birth being denied that right and women who want to terminate their pregnancies being prevented from doing so.
Those cases will be hard to suss out. In 2015, a woman confined at the Lauderdale County, Alabama Detention Center sued for access to an abortion clinic with lawyers from the ACLU representing her. Before the case was resolved, the woman agreed to carry the child to term and filed an affidavit averring that no one had coerced her to change her mind, but even the woman's own counsel recognized the immense pressure that jail officials can apply to disabuse an inmate of her choice.
Once advocates and attorneys get involved, the problematic management of women's reproductive freedom tends to subside. But that's because courts have consistently held that incarcerated women do, in fact, have an unfettered right to abortion while Roe's ruling remains in place. Without that right, a woman like the Alabama inmate might not get the assistance she needs to file in court.
Even if the precedent established in Roe v. Wade stayed intact, one national rule on reproductive rights in carceral settings would be almost impossible to develop, as the Tenth Amendment gives power over both public safety — which means policing and corrections — and health policy — such as reproductive rights — to the states.
In the absence of a single sensible, overarching practice, the best way to predict how a correctional facility will react to a pregnant inmate is to ask the incarcerated woman what she wants. Prison administrators will then oppose her choice — no matter what it is.
Decisions made for inmates reveal the truth about anti-choice laws outside of prisons and jails; they've never been shields wielded with protective intent, but swords used to separate women from their freedom.
Chandra Bozelko did time in a maximum-security facility in Connecticut. While inside she became the first incarcerated person with a regular byline in a publication outside the facility. She wrote a"Prison Diaries" column for The New Haven Independent and a blog that earned several professional awards. She recently won a reporting fellowship from the Education Writers of America. Her columns now appear regularly in The National Memo.

A lot of people dream of having a large wedding that looks like it could be plucked from a fairytale; however, thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, couples have been forced to organize smaller weddings with reduced guest lists and smaller venues.
Although this may have been disappointing, having a small wedding actually comes with a variety of advantages that may sway your mind.
Although a small wedding may sound easier to plan than a large wedding, it can take just as much work because you have to consider all of the same elements on a smaller scale.
We've gathered everything you need to know about planning a small wedding and what you need to consider as well as some handy tips to give you some inspiration.
What is a small wedding?
So the first question you may be asking yourself is what is considered a small wedding? Small weddings are mainly defined by the amount of guests in attendance. The average wedding usually has around 100 or more guests in attendance so when planning a smaller wedding, you'll most likely be planning a guest list of 60 people or less.
The amount of people you have depends on your preference but you could go for a tiny wedding with select family and friends with around 20 guests or have a private ceremony with a couple of witnesses.
Having a smaller wedding can help to make your special day more intimate by spending it with your nearest and dearest and although it may seem a shame to whittle down your guest list, it may prove beneficial in the long run.
Some couples know that they want a small wedding from the very beginning but for others, it may be difficult to know how small they should make their wedding. Here we discuss the advantages and disadvantages that come with planning a small wedding so you can know what to expect:
Advantages of planning a small wedding
As mentioned before, planning a small wedding comes with an array of benefits that are important to consider and can help to provide the incentive to organize the day of your dreams. Here are the advantages that come with planning a smaller wedding:
Less expensive
The first advantage to discuss is that small weddings are less expensive. The extra money that you do save can be put towards more lavish expenses in your wedding to make it an even better day or perhaps you can put it towards your honeymoon or for future savings.
Whatever you decide, saving money is the main reason why people opt for a small wedding in the first place.
Limited guest list
The limited guest list is a double edged sword as it serves as both an advantage and disadvantage. The reason why it can be advantageous is that you can whittle your guest list down so only people that you know well and really care about will be attending.
Having to encounter second cousins and other distant relatives you never really see can be awkward at best and being able to hold a conversation with your guests is a hugely important part of making your day special.
DIY details
Following on from having a smaller budget, small weddings are great for the more creative types as you can incorporate more DIY into your preparation by making your own invitations, wedding favors and much more regardless of what your hobby is.
Whether you love to draw or knit, there are plenty of ways you can incorporate your skills into your big day.
Venue options
Lastly, having a small wedding can open your venue options tremendously as you'll be able to view more potential venues and be able to find somewhere that perfectly suits your vision.
Disadvantages of planning a small wedding
Planning a small wedding can be extremely fun but it's important to be aware of the disadvantages that go with the planning process so you know what to expect and to prevent any stress or disappointment. Here are the disadvantages about small weddings that you should know:
Guest list cuts
As mentioned before in the advantages section, the decreased guest list also serves as a disadvantage in that you may find it difficult to reduce the number of guests, especially if you had initially planned for a large wedding.
Although some people may be easy to cut out, there may come a point where you start to find it difficult if you need to meet quota. This can also cause some people to be offended if they are not invited so be ready for a bit of confrontation.
Less gifts
This may not be a big deal to some couples but with less guests comes fewer gifts. If you ask for certain gifts such as money for a honeymoon then be aware that you may not get as much as if you have a larger wedding.
One of the first things you need to think about when organizing your wedding is the venue where you'll be holding it. It's important to make sure that not only does it fulfil your own expectations and criteria but also can cater for the amount of people you intend to invite.
If you had originally planned a large wedding then you'll have to rearrange as the venue will be too big for the amount of people you'll have to invite for a smaller wedding. Here are some venue ideas to give you some inspiration if you are unsure on the choices.
Family home
For those who want to keep their budget as small as possible then it doesn't get much cheaper than getting married at the family home. If you live in a beautiful house or know someone who does, you can hold your wedding day there both indoors and outdoors if they have ample garden space.
A hugely popular kind of wedding venue are lavish estates but if you know someone who lives in a house like that then you can save a lot of money from your final budget and focus on the other aspects.
For those who love this idea but don't have a home like this then you can choose to hire out an AirBnB for the day which is a much cheaper option than going somewhere more commercial which can cost thousands of dollars.
Backyard reception
Following on from a family home wedding, you could always opt for a backyard reception. Great for those who are determined to get married outdoors and want to spend as much time in the sunshine as possible, a backyard wedding is the perfect choice for smaller weddings.
You can easily change any garden space to the perfect wedding reception area and still have a wonderful day. If your own garden isn't suitable then maybe you know someone who has a larger garden area and will be happy to accommodate you.
Whatever your theme, this can save you a huge amount in the long run and make your wedding day more family orientated and less stressful.
Chapel wedding
For those who want a traditional wedding but don't want to get married in a larger church then a small chapel may be the perfect option for you. The great thing about chapels is that they can cater to non-denominational couples if you want a traditional setting without the religious aspect as well as incorporating religious vows if you want to.
There are many cute options across the US that are sure to take your breath away and also some iconic institutions including a certain chapel in Vegas that is popular for eloping couples.
Brunch wedding
For those who want to spend the whole day celebrating then a great idea is having the ceremony in the morning and then hosting a special brunch filled with your favorite foods.
Not only is this a unique idea but it's ideal for those who want to forego the traditional dinner time reception and allow you to set yourself apart from other weddings. It also means that you won't spend the majority of the day feeling nervous about the ceremony and you can spend the majority of your day with your significant other.
Restaurant wedding
If you are passionate about food and want to make sure that the cuisine plays a big part in your special day then having a restaurant wedding is the perfect way to do this. It could be a restaurant that means a lot to you such as where you had your first date or where you often frequent.
A lot of restaurants have an adjoining function room which you can rent for the whole day which will mean that your venue and catering is sorted with one booking and the decor can be done by the restaurant for you at an extra charge.
Destination wedding
For those who have a bigger budget but want to keep their wedding small then a destination wedding is a great idea. Destination weddings have always been hugely popular and having a small wedding doesn't mean that you can't go abroad.
Although they cost more upfront, they can also double up as a honeymoon if you choose somewhere you have always wanted to go. You could also choose somewhere that means a lot to you.
Because of their high costs, destination weddings mean that the guest list will have to be extremely restricted and are a good incentive to reduce your list.
City Hall
For those who want to take as much stress away from the planning process as possible then getting married at City Hall is the option for you. The perfect choice for those who want a lowkey wedding, City Hall provides a lot of versatility in terms of how many guests you want as well as what you can do for the reception afterwards.
A lot of couples also get married at City Hall and then have their reception at a later date if they want to splurge on a huge party but don't have the funds to do so.
Other unique venues
Lastly, there are many unique venues that you can consider. Whether it is a local theater or museum, there are plenty of venues available for those who want to avoid the traditional pathway. You can really make your special day one that is specifically unique for you and your requirements.
Ideas to make your day even more special
Now that you've decided what kind of venue you want to book, there are plenty of other things you need to think about when you are planning to make sure that you have the day that you've always dreamed of. Here are some ideas to help inspire your planning to give you the best day and most enjoyable planning experience:
Special dinner
The first way you can make your small wedding even more personable to you is by incorporating your favorite foods into the menu. Whether you want to do a family style dinner or have dishes that you and your partner love to eat, making the dinner special to you is going to mean that you are having food that you actually enjoy.
This is hugely important, especially if you don't want to go down the traditional route when it comes to catering. The food is a huge part of the day and it's important that you choose something that you really enjoy. Just be sure to get dietary requirements from your guests and make sure there are alternative options for them just in case.
Cutting the wedding party
This may come as a shock to some people but cutting the wedding party is actually more common than what you would think.
For couples who want to cut the cost of their wedding and have already reduced their guest list, cutting out the wedding party means that you are saving a lot of money. This doesn't mean that you don't have your wedding reception but the party afterwards so everyone will be able to take part in your special day.
Personalized touches
Smaller guest lists mean that you can add more personalized touches to your wedding favors and other aspects of your wedding. Whether you design your own personalized place cards for the table or the invitations, there is plenty you can do. The attention to detail is something that your guests will take notice of.
Lounge area
If you want to have a more relaxed reception then organizing and arranging your venue to accommodate a lounging area is a fantastic way to do so.
You can incorporate large comfortable couches or big arm chairs or perhaps floor pillows and blankets is more your style. Whatever style you want to exude, this can be done via the lounging area. It will also provide your guests with ample photo opportunities and help to make the space more inviting.
Open mic
One of the most traditional parts of a wedding are the speeches. Usually important figures such as the best man and maid of honor will provide speeches but you can choose to make it an open mic if you have a smaller wedding.
This is because you will be surrounded by your nearest and dearest and they should be able to have something to say about you or your partner.
This does come with a level of risk as someone may say something demeaning or rude so bear this in mind if you have more conservative views. This suggestion is for the more relaxed and laid back couples.
Virtual factors
For couples whose plans have been affected by COVID-19, you can incorporate virtual factors into your special day which is also a great money saving tactic. You can have a small wedding with limited family and friends in attendance but then reach out to a larger circle and invite them to join via apps like Zoom.
Not only does this mean that you save money by catering for those who are actually in attendance but it also means that no one is left out so there won't be any disappointed phone calls or panicking about offending people.
Weekend celebration
As we have discussed, a smaller wedding means that you will have more money to spend on your guests to make it an even more memorable experience for them.
For those who have a larger budget and want to keep the wedding small, you can make it a weekend celebration. This can be done by opting for a destination wedding or you can keep it local and hire out an estate for the weekend so everyone can relax and have a good time.
Small ceremony and large reception
For those who love the idea of having a small wedding but want to have a large reception, you can! A lot of couples invite less people to the ceremony and extend invitations to even more people for the reception so they can celebrate with all their family and friends.
It is important to make it clear on the invite if you are inviting someone to the reception only and not the reception and vice versa. This can make your ceremony more special as you will be surrounded by your nearest and dearest.
However, remember that it can cause the reception to cost more as there will be more people.
What you need to consider when planning
Before you book anything for your wedding, you need to have a plan in place to ensure that you have control over everything. Not only will this help you financially but it will also mean that you can easily keep on track of everything and reduce the amount of stress that can come with wedding planning.
These tips will make your wedding planning more enjoyable and will mean that you can have the day you've always dreamed of without rushing into anything.
The first thing you will always have to think about when coming up with your plan is your budget. No matter what your wants and desires are, you have to make sure that your wedding day stays within your financial needs.
As previously discussed, smaller weddings can save you a lot of money so it is perfect for those who want to cut costs where they can. It also means that you probably won't need the assistance of a wedding planner as you can do it all yourself.
Guest list
It's best to have the guest list completed sooner rather than later as this will help you to figure out how many people you plan on having. It will also help to take the burden away when it comes to cutting down your guest list as you can start to plan your wedding around the reduced guest list.
If you leave it too late, you may feel as though you have to invite friends of friends and distant relatives when you don't have the space. Therefore, having a concrete list from the outset is going to benefit you enormously in the long run and take that stress away as you delve into the planning process.
Plus ones
Following on from your guest list, when planning a small wedding, you may find that you have to restrict the amount of plus ones allowed at the wedding.
The best way to decide if someone is allowed a plus one is by thinking about who they may bring. If you don't know or haven't met their plus one, then there's no need to extend the invitation for them as the guest list is restricted enough as is.
However, if the person has been in a long term relationship with someone you know then you should extend the invitation to them.
Booking vendors
Now comes the tricky part which is booking various vendors which includes your decorations, catering and flowers among many others.
You can opt to do as much DIY to help cut costs and make the day more personable as professional vendors can be quite expensive but for those who want to take as much stress away from the planning then vendors are the best choice as they do all the work for you.
Personal touches
Your wedding day is going to be one of the most special days of your life and adding in those personal touches will mean that your guests will remember it for years to come.
You can add plenty of details and personal touches in every aspect of your planning to make it a day that is extra special for you and your partner. Whether it is through the food by picking out dishes that are special to you to making the wedding favors yourself, there is so much you can do to make your day even more special.
Asking for help
A lot of people on a strict budget can't afford a wedding planner or maybe you don't want to have one at all. Regardless, don't be afraid to ask for help from your family and friends.
If you're wanting to make your wedding as much of a DIY experience as possible then getting lots of help is going to be necessary if you want beautiful results. It also means that you don't have the entire stress of the wedding on your shoulders.
For those who want to make the most of their special day and continue it long after the reception is over then don't forget to organize an afterparty. It can take place anywhere you want whether it is a restaurant, bar or even your own home.
Planning a small wedding doesn't have to be stressful and can be such an enjoyable experience if you follow this guide. You now know everything there is to know when it comes to planning your special day so you can reduce the amount of stress and start to get excited without panicking about the little details.

Yesterday has many managers shaking their heads and going back to the drawing board.
Both Manchester City and Manchester United continue to play uninspired football. The Mighty Chelsea went a bit flat, and this years Aston Villa became last years Aston Villa.
On the good side, Newcastle continue to prove that week 1 was no indication of what to expect from this team. Spurs appear to be getting closer to that right combination of players that will make everyone take notice and the Arsenal Gunners are sitting on top of the charts.
Today we have West Ham @ Southampton and Monday we have Liverpool @ Swansea.
Many will have their eyes on Liverpool & Swansea but all 4 teams will give us plenty to think about before this weeks games are over.
Not very happy with my week. Currently 102 points with only Gerrard to go. Could work (I hope).
My barn door team (that will certainly change) currently looks like this:
Benteke/Giroud/RVP (1.95/bank) BENCH: Fillers.
I see a possibility of more then half not being there next week, but that depends a lot on the remaining games.
