QuietOn's earplugs are sold to airlines and industry
The electronic earplugs of QuietOn remain number one on Singapore Airlines' inflight sales. It is important to note that Singapore Airlines was selected as the world's best airline by flight travellers in 2018. The delivery of QuietOn Sleep is targeted to begin in January. It is designed to tackle the low sound waves of snoring, as well as other noise-distorting sounds.了解更多
Crowdfunding – An innovative co-creation process
I'm a new backer and I just wanted to say that I actually appreciate the delays. It's much better to receive a product that has been polished with testing and refining than one that is rushed out the door. Keep up the great work!了解更多

Dropped into my local branch library, as I do about once or twice a week, to drop off books and pick up new ones I'd requested.
It's a very small branch, in the middle of a strip mall, next to a Dairy Queen, a Tea Source and a thrift store. What more could a person want, really?
Plus! One of the librarians there picked Sex & Violence as a book club selection for a teenager reading group! Isn't that cool? He said the girls wanted to talk about the violence and the boys wanted to talk about the sex. Or maybe I have it backwards.
There's always a little display up and this time it's books on GLBTQ topics, in time for Pride. So of course, I sidled up and took a look, and wouldn't you know? Found a great little book of essays called "You Can Tell Just By Looking" And 20 Other Myths about LGBT Life and People.
Since I'm an Ally and working on book #3 which deals with sexual orientation as a central question for the main character, I nabbed this title. Can't get enough perspective on this topic, really.
Then! Saw this biography called Dreadful: The Short Life and Gay Times of John Horne Burns that also looked juicy. Nabbed that, too, for my vacation in 2 weeks.
The moral of this story: library displays are so important. Great for people who don't even realize they might be interested in a topic.

Curious facts about the cloud web site hosting service
Actually, the real cloud webspace hosting solution serves distinct hosting services such as web space, email, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web space hosting Control Panel, backup, etc., on independent bunches of top-notch servers. Each individual service pack forms a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving only the particular service and nothing beside it. They will all function as one web server, sharing the service's load in nearly equipollent proportions. If there is an authentic cloud web hosting service, there has to be: a data storage cluster, a mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these individual service clusters will make the so-called cloud web hosting platform.
The great cloud web hosting hoax. Very widespread today.
There is so much misunderstanding circulating around about cloud web hosting now. As you can see,cloud hosting does not only sound perplexing, but in fact it is very perplexing. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud hosting is. On the basis of this universal ignorance, the "cloud web site hosting merchants" speculate fervently, just to get hold of the client and his/her five bucks a month. What a shame! A big shame. This is owing to the fact that in the web page hosting industry there are no tenets at all. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The webspace hosting industry niche has no such supervisory institution. This is why the webspace hosting retailers speculate and lie openly (quite directly, actually) to their customers. Particularly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's examine how much cloud hosting they in fact can distribute.
The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" web space hosting merchandisers
If a cPanel-based web site hosting corporation has a cloud web site hosting solution at hand, which is quite unbelievable, lots of servers must be bought. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that at the end of this article. First, let's find out what the cloud problems are. So, it's very unlikely for a cPanel hosting corporation to have the cloud hosting system at hand, because of the fact that creating one requires years. Even when time and the provision of a highly qualified staff are not an issue, lots of cash has to be spent too. Piles of cash. What's more, cPanel is not open source. That's an immense inconvenience.
The deficiency of open source cloud webspace hosting solutions
There aren't any open source cloud web space hosting environments. There are no open source web site hosting Control Panel instruments (working with the cloud hosting solution) either. Therefore, to have a cloud web hosting system at hand, first you have to set up one. In-house. Second of all, you must devise the web site hosting CP too.
Single server-based webspace hosting CPs
Today's popular web hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are manufactured to perform on one web server solely. All webspace hosting services (disk storage, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, site hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served at the same time on one server where these specific single-server site hosting platforms and site hosting CPs are set up.
The deficiency of open source webspace hosting CPs
So, you have to create a custom webspace hosting CP that will perform flawlessly and to accommodate it within the cloud system, as if it was an inherent component of it. Good examples of in-house devised cloud website hosting platforms with in-house devised site hosting Control Panels are: Holmes Hosting, NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel
Cloud site hosting hardware provision prices
The minimum investment demanded, only for the cloud web space hosting hardware provision, equals somewhere between 60 thousand dollars and $80,000. That's omitting the DDoS device, which is another $15-20,000 USD. Now you realize how many cloud webspace hosting platforms can be detected out there... and, in particular, why the web hosting sky is so blue... and nearly unclouded!

Herbology Lesson 3 (Years 1-3)
Subject: Herbology Lesson 3 (Years 1-3)
Sun Nov 09, 2014 12:54 am
His first lesson was also to be the last for the school semester, and Damien had no idea what he was supposed to be doing. There had not been many notes about what the previous Professor had covered, and he decided it was best to start with the bare basics. The Greenhouses were beautifully set up - although not as full of plants as he wished, and he soon settled right in. After getting the permission from Mycroft, he transferred a whole range of species from his own private Greenhouse in Ireland over to Hogwarts, intending to use them to teach with.
Behind him was a single Cherry tree, sectioned off by a length of string that circled it, leaving a large empty space in which it sat. Glancing down at his watch, he noted that his second batch of students - the younger ones - were due to arrive any time soon. Students arriving at the Greenhouse would be directed behind it, to the area he was now in; he saw no point in teaching Herbology in a classroom setting, much preferring to be outdoors. The Greenhouses he used to store plants, not much else. Thankfully, the weather had been rather accommodating, with no rain having wet the grassy area he was standing on. Leaning against the wall of the Greenhouse, he waited for the students to arrive.

Hogwarts was a big place, very big when you were a first year, and boy did Finley know it as he walked out in to the grounds and down to the Herbology greenhouses. His little legs were moving fast due to the hill that he was heading down to get to the greenhouses, almost forcing him to move quicker in that moment. By the time he'd gotten to the Herbology door, the Ravenclaw was out of breath and he had to take a moment to get some oxygen back in to his lungs.
Fitness was not something Finley had ever boasted, and he doubted he was going to either.
It was then that Finley saw the note and after reading the instructions he set off along the length of the greenhouse. The professor was trying to kill him before class even began, Finley had decided a moment later. However, he seemed to find the man not long after and with a nervous smile towards the man, Finley took a few moments to catch his breath properly. "G-good morning, p-professor." He managed a few moments later, hoping that he wasn't going to have to do too much more physical stuff this lesson.

Violet saw that Herbology was back on the list of subjects at Hogwarts, and decided to take it, purely for her grades. She never found it particularly hard at all, so she knew she could ace it with minimal effort. She walked to the Greenhouse at a leisurely pace, and upon noticing the note on the door, and walked through it to the back, behind it where class was being held, dropping her bag to the floor with a dull thud and didn't bother with any acknowledgements, waiting with her limited patience for class to start.

Natasha was excited for Herbology, of course. She found all plants, magical or not to be rather fascinating, and certainly worth her while to study. She made her way to the Greenhouse, and once reading the instructions on the door, followed them to find class being set outside. She gave a small smile and nod to the new Professor when she approached them "Morning sir," she said quietly as she waited for class to start, eagerly.

He still remembered his first Herbology lesson, the first time he had ever received anything for being good at, well, stealing. To be fair, it was also his only time, but it still held a special place in his memory. When he learnt that Professor Harrington left, he was naturally disappointed - she was one of the better Professors, in his eyes. The other step-in teachers had not been particularly good, although with Herbology being a core subject, he had no say in the matter. So when the announcement came that a new Professor for the subject came, it made very little difference to Tristan - that is, at least, till Brooke sought him out after
first lesson with the man.
Curious, and also a little hesitant, he walked down to the Greenhouses, unsure what to expect. The note on the door directed him to the same place Brooke had said her lesson had taken place. Only, instead of the plants she mentioned, there was a single tree. His new Professor stood against the wall of the Greenhouse; a few other students were already there. Using the time it took him to reach them, Tristan studied the man, trying to put characteristics to the face.
Odd. Interesting but odd,
was what Brooke had said, but he couldn't see it in the face of the man. Maybe when it came time for him to actually teach, Tristan would get a better sense. "Professor," he said, standing somewhere in the middle of the space, not too far away, but not too close to the man.

There were fewer students in this class than the other one, for which he was thankful. Less students meant less problems to look out for, but he was looking forward to the lesson, for he was going to cover one of his favourite creatures. Hopefully they would be interested in the class he had planned as he was. Checking his watch once more - he had done so every few minutes until it reached the time class was supposed to start - he noted he was exactly 5 minutes behind time. That didn't matter; Dami had purposely done so to give some of those perpetually late people a chance to show up 'early'; he had discovered that it was the habit of some from his previous class..
Seeing no other students hurrying around the corner of the Greenhouse, he cleared his throat. "Good morning. My name is Damien Elson-Robin Peat. You may call me whatever you please. It doesn't matter to me."
"From the student list, I already know your names, but I would prefer hearing you tell me, so I know what to call you," he continued, waiting for someone to begin.
After everyone had done so, he smiled. "Great, now we can move on to the lesson!" Here Damien grew more lifelike and much less awkward; he was in familiar territory. Plants, he knew, would never let anyone down. "What can you tell me about the Diffindo spell and Bowtruckles? One answer each about one or both of those; give others a chance to answer too. No need to raise your hand, either."

"Good morning. My name is Damien Elson-Robin Peat. You may call me whatever you please. It doesn't matter to me."
And so was the first mistake of his teaching career. Of course, Violet would take full advantage of being able to call a teacher whatever she pleased, the guy bought it on himself for saying so. Naturally, she was going to take the opportunity. As the teacher went on, seeming to grow more and more excited about the lesson as he spoke, Violet waited for him to get on with the topic they were learning about today.
"What can you tell me about the Diffindo spell and Bowtruckles? One answer each about one or both of those; give others a chance to answer too. No need to raise your hand, either."
"Bowtruckles are small creatures that live in trees and eat wood lice and fairy eggs," Vi answered immediately "Generally in trees used for wand wood," she added, not bothering to go into much detail that others could add "Violet, by the way Robin," she said dully.

Desdemona cautiously came into class, blushing slightly. It was rare that she was late, and she had no good excuse. She had just lost track of time in the library. She listened as the last couple of students introduced themselves and frowned as the Hufflepuff girl answered about Bowtruckles.

She figured someone should answer his second question, at least.
"I'm Desdemona Vega, by the way. You can call me Desdemona."
Now that she was here, Desdemona was actually kind of glad she had come to class today. She took a look around at her fellow students, realizing that she and one other boy were the only Slytherins in the group.

The class started a few moments later, and Tristan at once understood what Brooke meant. The man before him was indeed 'odd', but not in a way that was easily explainable to others; it was more of a 'you-have-to-meet-him-to-know' kind of thing. He waited for someone else to reply - going first was not something Tristan liked - before he himself supplied an answer.
Just as he was about to offer up something, a latecomer interrupted him, and he turned, but didn't really recognize her. After she finished, he took a few moments to gather his thoughts. "I'm Tristan," he introduced, getting that part over with first. "Bowtruckles," he paused. What did he read about them previously? "They normally mind their own business, but can get violent if the tree they live in is damaged."
At least, I think they do...
he added mentally, honestly unsure if he was even thinking about the same creature.

Finley had stood silently, looking at his shoes for the most part and checking they were clean. Well, they had been, but from the run down to the greenhouse, they were a little muddy now. He sighed inwardly, knowing he was going to have to clean them again now, like his mum had shown him so he didn't get told off for being scruffy.
Those thoughts were all pushed away as class began, however, with Finley concentrating on the subject they'd been given.
Each time he opened his mouth to answer, however, someone beat him to it. Much like most things in life, Finley didn't make himself known until he was... well, much too late, really. Listening to each answer, Finley waited long enough for everything to fall silent around him, taking in the names of the others before raising his hand and waiting to be called upon.
The moment he did, he could feel the eyes turning to him, and he felt like he was being suffocated a little bit. "M-my n-name is F... Finley." He introduced himself, trying to ignore the slight shake in his body as well as his voice as his nerves grew. "And... the b-bowtruckles are literally stick men. W-well, sort of. They're m-made up of b-bark. W-with sharp fingers, t-two on each hand if I'm n-not mistaken. And t-they're r-roughly the size of y-your hand. Insect-like t-too." He supplied, hoping somewhere in there he'd given the right answer, though he couldn't really be sure.

As the students took turns to answer, he nodded along with them, especially pleased with the last one he received; the stuttering he wasn't bothered with, because he honestly did not know to care otherwise. Some of the Herbologists Dami had worked with previously also had the same problem with speech, although that was mostly because they hardly interacted with other people. "Thank you, those are spot on answers," he said, smiling at them. "Take five points each for your houses."
"As Finley has told us," he continued, moving closer to the tree but stopping behind the rope, "Bowtruckles are small, wood creatures - very good on the detail, by the way, I appreciate it - with two fingers on each hand. They, as Violet pointed out, live in trees and eat insects, and are usually non-violent. However, when their home tree - that is to say, the tree that they live in - is under danger, these creatures take it upon themselves to protect their tree at all costs. This usually involves their so called fingers, and the eye of said attacker. Unfortunately, as the trees are usually wand wood trees, this can get in the way of wand makers who need to gather wood. This can be avoided by an offering of wood lice, which keeps them busy long enough for wood to be collected."
Stopping to let this information sink in, he gave them a few moments before he slipped past the rope, still maintaining a distance from the cherry tree, but removing his wand nevertheless. "There is one other way to get past them - the diffindo spell." Stepping forward, he tossed a rock he had pocketed earlier towards the top of the tree - almost at once, a small stick-like man came flying out of the top, towards Damien, who waited for it to come nearer before giving his wand a flick and clearly pronouncing the spell. He didn't need to, because in the real world, this would take up to much time, but he did so for the benefit of the students. The moment the spell made contact with the Bowtruckle, it sliced through, decapitating the creature. Turning back to the students, Dami nodded at himself.
"Do not worry, they do not feel pain, and they are numerous in number. Believe me, I would not harm them if it were not so. Now, I have kept them separated and confunded so as not to have more than one at a time, so as not to overwhelm you. When it is your turn, I will remove the spell on one of the Bowtruckles so that it will be free to act of its own accord. Your task for today is to approach the tree, disturb it - by throwing an object, please do not get too close or you may not have the time to perform the spell - and take out the Bowtruckle. I will be right next to you in case of any problems. Who would like to go first?"
OOC: Points will be given according to realism and writing. It does not matter if your character performs well or not.

Desdemona took a look around at her fellow students and then at the professor.
"I guess I will,"
she said bracingly, stepping forward and gripping her wand tightly in her fist. She felt the flutter of nerves, but told herself to cut it out - she was going to be just fine. Bowtruckles weren't anything she couldn't handle. She stepped towards the tree and felt herself jump when a tiny stick man came jumping out at her, waving its long fingers threateningly at her.
she cried at once, pointing her wand at the tiny stick. The small creature fell to the ground and did not move. She smiled in triumph; she had done it! Desdemona turned her back on the tree and walked back towards the rest of her class, her heart going just a little too fast with excitement.

As a Slytherin volunteered and stepped into the area, Damien hung back to let her do what she needed to, his grip on his wand loose but ready for action. Frowning as she went closer and ignored his clear instructions to throw an object at the tree instead of approaching it, he was about to call out when the Bowtruckles made its appearance. Raising his wand, he prepared to confund the creature when the Slytherin managed the spell.
As the creature fell down, Dami chuckled to himself, flicking his wand and sending the creature away. Calling the girl back, he said, "Not bad, although you didn't quite get the spell right, but that doesn't matter. Practice makes perfect, so keep trying!"
Giving his wand another slight twitch, he released another Bowtruckles from the spell and moved to the side with a nod to the remaining students. "Who's next? And, please remember, keep away from the tree. Use a stone or stick to attract the attention of the Bowtruckle."

Finley was happy when he got told he was right, happier still that he'd gotten his answer right. The smile on his lips showed that he was happy about this fact. When they were told what they would be doing, Finley's expression turned a little worried, had he done that spell before...
Hoping someone else would go next, Finley looked around but it seemed his luck was out. With a soft sigh, Finley stepped forwards, looking at the professor with an expression that was already apologising. Taking out his wand and fumbling around on the ground for a stone, Finley took one more step closer to the tree and tossed the stone aimlessly up in to the air. A moment later, a bowtruckle appeared and Finley waved his wand.
He called out, watching for a moment hopefully, but nothing happened and the bowtruckle was gone.
Looking to the professor, Finley asked, "C-can I try again?" After being given the permission to do so, Finley picked up another stone and tried again. The arc of the throw he watched and once more he tried to perform the spell. Sighing softly as it didn't work yet again, Finley moved back to the group, feeling thoroughly put out about not being able to do it.

See Moses Lake Airport's Secret the Government Hid for Years
The Grant County International Airport began as Moses Lake Army Air Base in 1942 and was renamed Larson AFB. The government told the public it was a training facility, and many training flights took place there (including for several bombers). But that's not the REAL reason they built the airport. That fact was top secret.
The real reason for the air base was to defend the Hanford Project.
Nearby training bases were also located in Pasco (which became the Tri-Cities Regional Airport -- ever heard of Bombing Range Road in West Richland?) and Spokane. Moses Lake fighters protected Hanford.
After the war, Larson AFB housed several fighters to protect Hanford's plutonium development (along with missile silos in Othello and top of Rattlesnake Mountain)!

Essential Companions Scheme
Our Essential Companion Scheme enables guests to receive the support they need when they visit our attraction.
This is also a way for the Grand Pier to make sure it looks after disabled guests. If you require an adjustment to visit, our team should make them for you whether you are part of the Essential Companion Scheme or not.
If you have questions about the scheme and how it works please contact us.
To apply, the person requiring assistance must be 8 years of age or older.
Please complete the attached form before you arrive and present this alongside the eligibility evidence, and your companion won't need to pay an entry fee.
It's in your name so you can bring whomever you like, but even if you don't have an Essential Companion card, when you arrive you can collect the paperwork to get started.
An Essential Companion must be over 14 years of age and capable of assisting the guest with the disability. The Essential Companion would be expected to understand the person's condition and assist them in managing it for the duration of the visit. For example, if the guest finds communication difficult due to a diagnosed medical condition, the essential companion would be expected to take responsibility for ensuring that he/she is aware of relevant safety information displayed on any signage or communications on our public address system.
You will need to provide evidence that the card holder receives one of the following:
- Disability Living Allowance (DLA)
- Attendance Allowance (AA)
- Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
- Armed Forces Independence Payment (AFIP)
- Blind Persons Registration
- Rainbow Resource Card
You will need to bring a copy of the awarding letter from DWP or a statement confirming receipt of the allowance for the person requiring assistance (the card holder).
This should be dated within the last 12 months.
Alternatively, if you are a Registered Blind Person then please bring a photocopy of certification for the person requiring assistance (the card holder). Please note that ESA (Employment and Support Allowance) or the Blue Badge on its own are not accepted as proof of eligibility

Are You Working?
POSTED November 08, 2016
I went to my usual grocer last week where I was posed with an annoying question – questions actually. Questions like "do you have the day off?" and "are you working today?" I never know how to answer these – like, do you mean am I getting paid to work today? Do I ever get a day off? How do you define work… It's not so black and white.
It was an awkward exchange that went a little like this: grocer man = GM me=ME
GM: Working today?
ME: Umm… no
GM: Day off?
ME: Kind of
GM: You working at the moment?
ME: Umm… no
GM: Wow – I'd love to not work (*ponders that for a second). Actually I'd get so bored. I'd get so bored not working – I couldn't not work
ME: *smiles awkwardly while willing him to scan things faster so that I can leave, like, ASAP
Sometimes it's easier to breeze over the truth to fit into the construct of other people's reality. Even without being pregnant and actually working I don't love explaining to people what I do – too many questions that usually ends up me being pigeon holed anyway.
In my pregnancy with Reuben I felt really insecure about not working. All of a sudden I went from this independent 24 year old with great clients and a healthy bank balance to being completely dependent on my partner. My job is weird – I can't work when I'm pregnant… or not until I'm in that perfect pregnant window of 24-32 weeks where you can do maternity stuff (which I have finally entered… WOO HOO).
So I'm not doing that again – I'm not feeling insecure about not working.
Someone please explain to me how growing a baby, looking after a toddler, cultivating a loving home environment is not bloody work? And don't even get me started on the washing. Mum's (and some dad's to be PC) are working all. the. time. people!!! We never stop!
So, man at the grocer – what I should have said to you is 'yes, I'm working – I never stop. I'm working right now, and it's exhausting!'

I tend to be a worrier, and one of the things I worry about most is my children. I suppose a lot of moms can relate to that. :-) I especially worry about how our life overseas is impacting them.
Am I giving them what they need?
I can't give them whole wheat bread and organic produce. I can't take them to zoos and parks and libraries and museums. We don't have a schoolroom full of educational games and craft supplies. They wear hand-me-down clothes and sleep on a foam mattress. I'm not saving up money for their college education. They don't even get to see their grandparents on a regular basis!
What if they miss out somehow? What if their education, or their emotional development, or their overall success in life is damaged by the choices I'm making for them in these early years of their lives?
I have to step back every so often and remind myself of what really matters. From my limited expereince as a mother, and my somewhat broader expereince as a people-watcher, I believe there are a few basic things that children really need. If those needs are consistently met, things will turn out okay . . . and if those needs are NOT met, it really doesn't matter how much organic granola they eat or how many educational toys they have. Right, ladies?
What our children really need:
1) Time. Ouch. That's a precious commodity, right? We have housework to do, languages to learn, people to minister to, a mission to fulfill, and we just don't have a lot of time left for our children. But our children NEED our time. They need to know that we care enough about them to give them time. And all that discussion about quality time vs. quantity time? Honestly, our kids need both. They need some special, focused, one-on-one time. But they also just need lots of time. Let them follow you around asking questions. Let them help you wash dishes or make cookies (even if it takes twice as long and makes a huge mess!) Take a few minutes to cuddle when they wake up from naps. Sit with them while they do their schoolwork, with a book or project of your own if they don't need your help.
2) Love. Well this one is easy! Of course we love our kids! But do they know it? How often do you say it? How do you show it? They don't assume that you love them just because you're their mom. They need to hear it with words, to feel it with hugs and kisses, to see it in your eyes and your smile when you look at them. Make sure there's no doubt in their minds that you love them like crazy.
3) Respect. This is actually the hardest one for me. I'm supposed to teach them to respect me . . . but at the same time, I need to respect them. They respect my authority, I respect their personhood and individuality. I am still learning what this looks like every day as I interact with my children. But I do think it's important, and becomes more important the older your children are. Although I have lots of dreams for my children, most of all I want to respect God's call on their lives and let them be all that He wants them to be.
So relax, Momma. You can give your children time and love and respect no matter where you live or what your circumstances are. Let's keep our eyes on the things that are really important.
I am still new on this journey of motherhood. Are there any older mothers who have words of wisdom for us? Keeping the right perspective on our children's needs is so helpful in the stress of everyday life!

Yogurt is one of my favorite foods to make from scratch. It's actually incredibly easy, and such a versatile food! It makes great breakfasts, snacks, deserts, and of course is the perfect baby food. It can easily be made from powdered milk - I actually prefer to use powdered milk because you can make it "richer" (I often use a ration of 3:1 for yogurt instead of the normal 4:1) and therefore a higher-protein food.
All you need are two ingredients - milk, and a yogurt starter. Yogurt starter can be a small amount of already-made yogurt, or it can be a powdered yogurt starter (which may not be available in your area, but can easily be mailed from the States). In our area, there are a few locally-made yogurt drinks available, and also a frozen yogurt snack, all of which I've used for yogurt starter. I've also bought a small amount of Labneh, a middle-eastern yogurt available in our bigger supermarkets, for starter. Of course a plain yogurt works best, but you can use flavored yogurt because you use such a small amount that it won't make a much difference. After the first batch, use a bit of your own yogurt (as long as it turns out well!) as starter for your next batch. This way you don't have to continually buy more starter.
Yogurt Recipe:
4 cups of milk
1/4 c. yogurt or yogurt starter
The simple instructions: all you have to do is heat up the milk to about 115 degrees, add the yogurt starter, and keep the mixture at that temperature for 4-6 hours. Not hard, right?
If I'm using powdered milk, I make a teapot of hot water, dilute it with cold water until it's the right temp, add the powdered milk, add the yogurt starter, and whisk it all together. If you are using fresh milk, you will have to be more careful as you heat up the milk, so that you don't scorch it and don't go above the desired temperature. If your yogurt starter is pretty thick, dilute it with a bit of the hot milk first before adding it to the whole batch, so that it mixes in better.
So the trick is figuring out how to keep your yogurt "cooking" at 115 degrees for 4-6 hours. In the hot season, our house is warm enough I just wrap the jar in a towel and set it in a warm place in the kitchen! In "cooler weather" I wait for a sunny day to make yogurt, then wrap it in a towel and set it outside in the sunshine. You do have to keep an eye on it and be sure to move it to keep it in the sun the whole 4-6 hours. If your oven has a "low" setting, you can set the jar in your oven. If your oven is well-insulated, it may also work to turn the oven on while you're making the yogurt, then turn it off and it will hold it's heat. Just be sure it doesn't cool off too much. The method that I've used in the States (no hot African sunshine here!) is to fill an ice chest with hot water and set the jar(s) down into the water to stay warm. You can check the temperature every couple hours and add more hot water as needed.
After 4 hours, check your yogurt. Tip the jar to see if it is still liquid or has begun to thicken. I have found that my homemade yogurt usually does not get as thick as American store-bought yogurt, but it should be somewhat thickened. It may be slightly separated, with a little yellow whey at the top of the jar. If it doesn't seem to be thick after 4 hours, let it go a couple more hours. Just remember that the longer you leave your yogurt, the more sour-tasting it will be. When it is done to your satisfaction, put the jar in the fridge, and you've got yogurt!
The big key to making yogurt successfully is the temperature. If the temperature drops too low, the yogurt culture will not do its thing. If the temperature is too high, it will actually kill the culture and nothing will happen no matter how long you let it set! It's best if you have a thermometer to measure the temperature of your milk when you start, and the temperature of whatever environment you are "cooking" your yogurt in. However, most of my yogurt-making days I had no such helpful device, so I only guessed. If the milk is quite warm but you can hold your hand in it without discomfort, it's probably about right. If it's hot enough to burn your hand, it's too hot, or if it's close to your body temperature (doesn't feel hot to the touch), it's not hot enough.
So that's how to make yogurt! Now what do you do with it? A few ideas -
**I often flavor my yogurt with a tiny bit of a "Kool-aid" type drink powder. You can also use honey or fresh fruit.
**If you want a thicker (Greek yogurt) consistency, you can strain the yogurt. Line a colander or a strainer with a loosely-woven (clean!) dish towel, and slowly pour the yogurt into it. Let it set for a few minutes, then scoop it out of the towel back into your container. The "whey" that is strained off can be used in place of water or milk in bread recipes, or used for cooking rice or oatmeal.
**If you want to make a cream cheese substitute, strain the yogurt as above, but let it set in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. You can use this as a spread (sweet or savory, depending on how you season it) or use for making deserts. Not quite the same as cream cheese, but it's great if you can't get dairy products in your location.
Do you make yogurt? Any tips for a beginner? How do you flavor plain yogurt so that your children will eat it? Share your ideas below!
Also, don't stop asking questions, ladies! If there is a topic you would like to see discussed, or a question you would like to get our readers' input on, please drop me an email!

Today's reader question is on a medical topic. If any of you are medical personnel, we would especially love to hear from you! But let's all chime into this discussion with the understanding that we are sharing our own experiences and choices, not giving medical advice!
What do other people do for malaria prophylaxis, especially for their children?
My Answer:
We have been told by a doctor that since we are long-term residents of Africa, we should not use prophylaxis but rather allow our bodies to build up a natural resistance to malaria. Another doctor was shocked by this advice and instructed us to be on prophylaxis at all times. We have chosen a 'happy medium' that has worked well for our family. Our babies begin taking prophylaxis when I begin to wean them at 12-15 months old. Our whole family stops taking prophylaxis for a few months in the height of dry season, when the mosquito population is significantly decreased. Of course we take as many other precautions as possible, especially not spending a lot of time outside in the evenings.
We use proguanil, brand name Paludrine, which has few or no side effects and is reasonably priced. It is safe for pregnancy and children. I also recommend Malarone (combo of proguanil and atovaquone), which is more effective than proguanil alone, but also significantly more costly.
**Please be sure to do research or ask a medical professional IN YOUR AREA OF SERVICE. Many regions have developed resistance to certain medications, so not all drugs are effective in all parts of the world.**
What have you done for malaria prevention? Do any of you have natural remedies that have worked for your family?

I have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was a young girl, and because I enjoyed it I guess I always thought I was pretty good at it. There were certain things that I was good at - chocolate chip cookies, for instance, and from-scratch brownies. But in America, so many things are conveniently ready-made that we forget about all the things that we don't know how to cook. Suddenly I was dropped in a foreign country and needed to learn to make all kinds of foreign foods . . . and I realized, in the process, that there were a lot of familiar American foods that I actually didn't know how to make either!
So today's article is "what I wish I'd known" for those who are still in the preparation stage. If you are heading overseas in the next few weeks, disregard this post - and don't despair, you will learn as you go! But if you still have several months before you will be crossing the ocean, this article is for you! Here are a few things that I wish I'd learned to make from scratch in the comfort of my American kitchen, instead of experimenting and repeatedly failing with precious, expensive ingredients in Africa!
1) Yogurt. It's a great baby food, a good source of protein for all ages, a simple breakfast, a healthy snack, and a creamy cold treat on a hot day. If you haven't already made yogurt from scratch, you'll be thankful you learned how!
2) Tortillas. We're from the western US, so maybe this isn't applicable to everyone. But I've found Mexican food to be one of our favorite "special" treats overseas . . . which means I had to learn to make tortillas from scratch. It's a lot of work, but it's worth it!
3) Sauces. White sauce, cheese sauce, spaghetti sauce, enchilada sauce, alfredo sauce, BBQ sauce, tartar sauce, fresh salsa - you name it! I also include gravy in this catagory.
4) Yeast bread. We could buy decent white bread locally, but it sure is nice to have wheat bread occasionally. And to be able to make pizza crust, breadsticks, dinner rolls, hamburger buns, etc for special occasions. And a bread machine doesn't count, ladies, unless you're planning to have one in your new home! You have to be able to knead the dough by hand. :-)
5) Cake and frosting. Although I did a lot my of baking from scratch, for some reason I always used cake mixes and canned frosting. This became a problem when the first birthday rolled around overseas!!
6) Pudding. I'm still no good at making pudding from scratch, but I'm determined to learn someday!
7) Miscellaneous baked sweets. What are your favorites - cookies? Brownies? Pie? You (and your husband!) will be glad you learned how to make them from scratch!
8) Anything you normally make from a seasoning packet, a box, or a can. Think about the prepared foods you usually buy. Do you usually make guacamole from a seasoning packet? Have you ever made cornbread from scratch instead of from a Jiffy mix? When you make chili have you tried starting with dried beans and your spice rack instead of just popping open a few cans and dumping in a seasoning packet? What about making tomato soup from scratch instead of using Cambell's?
Those are a few things I wish I'd known before we moved overseas (although a couple of them I did know). Don't be overwhelmed at this list. Pick a few things that will be the most special to you and/or your family, and master those things first. You certainly don't have to be a gourmet chef before you cross the ocean! But it will help the transition process if you aren't learning to cook foreign food AND American food at the same time!!
Share your thoughts below, ladies! What did I miss? What do you wish you'd known how to make before you left the States? OR, what are you very thankful that you DID know when you moved overseas?

text: Hello, i'd like to meddle about with partitions on my friend's macbook. It came with a "macintosh HD" partition and the idiotic "Data disk" that some third party cowboys seem to like creating. Anyway, as i'm sure plenty of people here know, this is not appreciated by bootcamp. So, i'd like to delete the "data disk" partition with diskutil, enlarge the "mac HD" partition, then run bootcamp to install windows etc. I'm quite good with computers, but not with macs. My specific worries are the 200mb EFI partition at the start of the disk. What i would like to be able to do is, if i completely screw up, to be able to restore the entire thing so that it's all working okay. So, i know i can use superduper(!) to backup an image of "mac HD", so that it can be restored. But what about the EFI partition? Can i back this up? Can i restore it with the osx install disk if i cannot? Is this even necessary? Basically, what steps can i take so that if i were to, say, format the entire drive as empty space or something stupid like that, i could just go "bing!" with the backup, hip hip hoorah, everything works again? Any help would be appreciated! (except people telling me to use virtual machines or not to use windows xp at all because the mac osx is so much better anyway, etc. etc. etc.)

This assessment is aimed at determining the soul and culture of an organisation – existing and desired, and the results are a reading of what gaps may be fruitfully closed. Can Love be a part of your Culture? Research now clearly shows that the neglected human side of business needs addressing if we are to realise potential, purpose, high performance. There are sound ways and means of introducing compassionate love to improve the way we interact with communities, the environment, customers, suppliers and employees. Compassion also equates to influence and leader – charisma according to recent research. 'Love' encompasses a range of other values and virtues.
This survey probes being as well as doing, motives, beliefs, attitudes and behaviours. Clients requiring a deep dive into their overt and covert cultural indicators sometimes choose to survey What is the Spirit of your Workplace, Cohesive Workplaces and Escaping Psychic Prisons as a survey – set. Strength and Room-for-Improvement clusters fall out. As does more clarity on organisational purpose, shared values and virtues, alternative cultural metaphors and the extent to which members 'see through each other' or 'see each other through'.
The survey covers interpersonal dynamics, relationships, communicating, motivational dynamics, trust and respect factors, silos, and a range of values and behavioural indicators that seldom belong to the organisation's formally espoused values – that make (or prevent) this community gel.

My life is boring. It's either eat, sleep, work or bake. It's only 10am now and I'm already awake, which is quite rare because I usually go to bed past 3/4am and wake up around 12pm? The weather's really bad today and I don't feel like going out AT ALL. I just want to lie in bed all day but ugh gotta head out later.
I've been reading long reports and financial reports the entire day yesterday for my competition and it's pretty interesting yet boring at some parts. I've never done a competition like this before so it's pretty exciting! I still need to dig out and read reports of previous years. I hate how each report is at least a 100 pages long and I can't read it off the computer/ipad so I have to print it out. Money screaming.
I cooked laksa the other day, two days in a row. Once for my friends and once for my family. Cravings sort of (50%) satisfied but I still need my 28 Laksa.
Looks pretty legit, I must say! When you compare phone camera quality and DSLR quality – huge difference.
I baked Teh Tarik Cupcakes a few days ago, can't really remember which day. I topped it with pandan fresh cream frosting, which I hampalang simply mixed together and ya'know agak-agak.I didn't have any dinner last night and haven't had my breakfast today. Hence, this girl typing this at the moment is starving. Bye.

Kids actually enjoyed some of the activities when we were in Japan. We were right by the beach…so they went to swim almost everyday. It wasn't too deep so I did not have to worry about them swept away.
Other kids were friendly. Once they realized that my kids were speaking English, they tried to speak some English words. It was fun. Some days they were swimming together even though they did not speak each other's language.
I would like to visit sometime again. But next time…we will stay at a hotel.

Hudson isn't what you call a "still" child.
Here are a few pictures of him watching "Cars" in his diaper while I worked this morning and Jeff took Max out for errands.
The stool he got from the kitchen. I have no idea why.
You'll note he's not wearing any clothing. There seems to be a current boycott.
He watched almost the entire movie dancing around the stool this way.

Today's Digital environment makes a person's brain hard to focus on anything. Moreover, our brains are finely adapted to distraction easily. So coming to the topic of focus, it is often a result of being underwhelmed or overwhelmed.
Coming up to focusing on goals, we are certainly motivated, but that motivation wanes over time as we lose focus on our goals. You should understand your brain's limitations and work around them to improve your focus and increase your productivity amid the noise.
It's hard to stay focused when we have so much going on our life like overloaded, overworked, and distracted or we simply just veer off track. When commitments begun to start and stretch us thin, we are pulled in every direction and it's easy to let life overwhelm us.
So How to stay focused in life? goals? Here it is some of the tips to stay focused in life.
Think of what made you to lose focus in life
This is the first thing to do, if you are not at all having focus about what you are doing. People often lose focus when they are working too hard or not hard enough. You should first understand which action led you to act a certain way and lose focus, so that you can react accordingly. Keep in mind why you are not focused throughout and analyse yourself and you will definitely get an answer to your problem.
Do creative work first
We always start doing mindless works and build it upto the toughest tasks such that it drains all your energy and lowers your focus.

If you want to focus effectively, then just go through the tasks that are more creative or concentration and later move on to easier works.

When you are organizing your thought, think about the big picture after achieving it. Also you need to decide where you need to be physical, mentally or even emotionally. Think of how much your goal is reasonable, and have a solid and tangible goal such as working or living in a particular place.

You need to track them in the right way, if you want to stay focused on your goals. Be serious about your goals and actively set them and detail them out. If you really want to achieve them simply create as much details towards your prospective goals.
Make sure you know your priorities
To reach your ultimate goal, first understand what is important in achieving it. Take some of your time every day to mark down which is important for you to accomplish. Question yourself about what you are doing and double check that it's important thing for you to do. Keep track on why you are doing a specific thing or else you will lose focus.
Don't be afraid to ask others for advice
Talk with your friends and family members what is going on in your life and which task you are finding it difficult, when you are taking the occasional break. Not only you may get some good ideas, but talking about the task you are handling makes it easier to work around.

Are you one of many Wirral business owners who are looking out for assistance with your bookkeeping? Does your tax return consistently end up submitted outside the required deadline as set by HMRC and thus resulting inpenalty payments? Or perhaps you have concerns that you are paying too much or too little tax?
Have you answered 'yes' to these questions? If so, you will benefit from handing over your bookkeeping tasks to The Financial Management Centre on the Wirral. Our team of seasoned bookkeepers manage hundreds of Wirral businesses' bookkeeping responsibilities and we are confident we can help you too.
Our bookkeeping team helps local businesses all over the Wirral area reclaim precious time. Our customers consist of sole traders, partnerships and limited companies. No matter how big or small your business may be, you can be sure our friendly and knowledgeable bookkeepers will be on hand when you need us.
If you are a small business, you may wonder whether you require an accountant or a bookkeeping service to make sure your books remain balanced. That's a great question and the answer to this question could save you a significant amount of money. Since a bookkeeper is typically cheaper than paying for an accountant, it makes sense to utilise the accountant only when you absolutely need to. For tasks such as bank reconciliation, tax return preparation and monthly bookkeeping management, it makes sense to utilise the services of our bookkeeper Wirral.
Thankfully, TFMC's bookkeeper Wirral offers a service that allows you to pay bookkeeper rates whilst offering accountant services. This is because our advisors have gained qualifications that allow them to 'sign off your books' or provide you with complex tax restructuring advice.
At the Financial Management Centre on the Wirral, we provide a bookkeeping service that's built on trust. When it comes to bookkeeping, you will be sharing confidential business information with us. For this reason, we ensure you gain our trust from the outset. To achieve this, you are assigned to a single point of contact. Unlike other bookkeeping services, you are not expected to deal with multiple advisors who may be unfamiliar with your situation.
Many of our customers choose to retain our bookkeeping services. Financial management obligations are preventing them from concentrating on their core business activities. This is typically coupled with the fact many of our customers did not possess the required skills when it comes to managing a bookkeeping system.
If this is a situation you are able to identify with, why not contact our advisors so we may outline how you will benefit from our bookkeeping services. Wearing too many hats means you are probably making many bookkeeping errors and taking your attention off your main business activities. Ensure this is not the case by opting for our highly affordable and reliable bookkeeping services on the Wirral.
One sure-fire sign of a poor bookkeeping setup is your inability to work out your true tax liability. This could mean you are paying too much or too little tax. Paying too little tax may sound like a good thing, but it means you are breaking the law. HMRC will also charge you a fine if you are found to be paying too little tax. This fine is hefty and punitive in nature, so expect this fine to hit the profitability of your business. To avoid these fines, contact The Financial Management Centre today on 0151 353 7129.
Another sign of a poor bookkeeping system is poor credit control. When you sign up to our reliable bookkeeping service, you are automatically signed up to a modern bookkeeping software setup that also manages credit control. This ensures you chase up invoices before its too late. Good credit control increases the odds that your payment will be sent on time and in full. Hence, good credit control improves the profitability of your business.
In fact, since 'cash is king,' poor cash flow will destroy your business. Getting control of your cash flow via sound credit control is crucial for the sustainable survival of your business.
If you hire a bookkeeper on an 'in-house' basis, who will look after your books if your bookkeeper is not available?
The answer is : you will have to complete your books yourself. Worst still, the job will simply not get done until your bookkeeper returns. When you choose to outsource your bookkeeping, employee absence really isn't an issue.
This is because The Financial Management Centre we have a national network of bookkeepers. If one of our advisors is hit with illness or goes on holiday, another advisor who is equally familiar with your business takes the reins of your bookkeeping system. This makes sure you are never required to 'do your own books' on short notice. Thus, our service provides you with business certainty you will surely value.
The service we provide is not just limited to helping balance your books each week. Our bookkeeper Wirral team based in Moreton can assist you on a diverse range of financial management services, each of which we consider essential for the long-term success of your business.
These services include payroll, tax return completion, credit control, VAT return and management accounts.

This means you are not required to 'start from scratch' with a new and unknown bookkeeping system when you sign up to our services. If you currently do not use any meaningful bookkeeping system, our advisor will set you up on a system that's best suited to the size and needs of your Wirral business.
Get in touch with The Financial Management Centre today. We are confident our bookkeeping service on the Wirral will allow you to enjoy an enhanced level of business efficiency. Contact Tom Cowley, the centre manager on 0151 353 7129 or complete the online enquiry form.

We are just starting our third year with Tom Cowley and the Wirral office of The Financial Management Centre. Tom's professionalism, patience and ability to communicate issues efficiently and effectively has been a great asset to our business. We would have no hesitation in recommending the Wirral office of The Financial Management Centre.
Following the success of the relationship of our sister company CWJ Developments Ltd with the Wirral office of The Financial Management Centre we have decided to appoint the Wirral office as our accountants and advisers for this new start company. We look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship.
We have been clients of the Wirral office of The Financial Management Centre for over three years. During this time we have been extremely impressed with the professionalism and ability of the Wirral office in working with our in house administration. Due to a forthcoming retirement we have decide to fully outsource our accounting and administration to the Wirral office and we look forward to a long and fruitful relationship.
3 years ago, I referred one of my relatives, Janet, to Tom Cowley. Janet was returning to the Wirral from South Africa and required all her self-assessment and tax returns sorting out. Tom has continued to provide this service for Janet every year since. Her words to describe Tom are "brilliant, a top man who is well worth a great testimonial"! We are both happy to refer Tom Cowley. Well done!
