|I shouldn't be doing this ritual because I lost faith in the Ancestors a long time ago but I never once lost faith in you. I know there is one good heart over there.
— Vincent about Davina in High Water and a Devil's Daughter
The relationship is between the witches, Davina Claire and Vincent Griffith. The two became close after Davina ascended to the title of Regent, with Vincent at her side to advise her. Their relationship was quickly destroyed when Vincent exposed Davina for killing the Ninth Ward witches and shunned her. Vincent later on in season three sends a message to Davina that he knows only she could decode. Vincent reveals to her that he was forced to help Lucien Castle become the Beast. Davina even expresses her slight distaste for him saying that they aren't friends before going to the Mikaelsons to help Vincent. The two however ally together once Davina is killed, which Davina appreciates and this restores their friendship. Davina, in the end, sacrifices herself for Vincent, Marcel and Kol in order to disable the Ancestors' realm. After this, communication between Davina's spirit and Vincent is disabled, which upsets Vincent and he begins to mourn her loss.
Throughout The Originals Series
Season Two
In Fire with Fire, Vincent comes into contact with Davina for the first time and he suggests that she take his place as the next Regent being she wishes to resurrect Kol Mikaelson.
In Ashes to Ashes, Vincent grants her title to Regent after much convincing being he doesn't want anything to do with the witch community.
Season Three
In Out of the Easy, Vincent takes away her power as Regent. This possibly decimates their friendship. After taking her position away, Marcel and Vincent watch her eating alone in a restaurant as she contemplates her loss from within the witch community.
In Behind the Black Horizon, Vincent leaves Davina a video message in St. James Infirmary informing her that he had no choice but to help Luicen and had to kidnap Kol Mikaelson's oldest sister, Freya Mikaelson. Davina uses her magic to help the Mikaelsons and when Vincent returned home to the city, she told him that she found the Ancestors cursed Kol when she brought him back. He agreed to help her stating he was sick of their ancestors' treatment of them.
In No More Heartbreaks, they put their strained friendship on the back burner in order to save their friend Cami. Both Vincent and Davina race to try and find a cure for Cami's lethal bite, but this is proven useless when they figure out that there is no cure for Cami. They were both devastated when they learned of Cami's death. Davina was later killed by Kol Mikaelson, unbeknownst to Vincent.
In Where Nothing Stays Buried, Vincent eagerly tries to kelp Kol Mikaelson and Marcel bring Davina back to life from the Ancestral plane. Vincent then uses Van's magic to try and bring her back, but this is trumped by Elijah and Freya, two of the Mikaelson siblings. Elijah and Freya subdue Kol, Marcel and Vincent in order to use Davina's spiritual essence to kill Lucien Castle. When Davina's soul is supposedly shredded by the Ancestors, Vincent goes to visit Marcel and share a drink with him. Vincent explains that his loyalties no longer remained with the Mikaelsons and Marcel and Vincent ally together when Vincent offers Marcel the Beast blood to go against the Mikaelson Family, as revenge for being responsible for Davina's demise.
In Give 'Em Hell Kid, Vincent sees Davina one final time before she sends his spirit back to his body before she destroyed the link between the living and the ancestors.
Season Four
In High Water and a Devil's Daughter, Davina's remains were channeled by Vincent Griffith to ask her to accept the Harvest sacrifice and resurrect the Harvest Witches. She accepted and the girls were resurrected. Vincent also made her the gatekeeper of all the Ancestral Magic of New Orleans.
Season 2
- Vincent: "Basically I am an outsider.... just like you."
- Davina: "You know I was put to death by people like this. They sacrificed me and my friends for nothing."
- Vincent: "Yeah... And as Regent you'd have the power to make sure nothing like that happened again."
- Davina: "I am only doing this because you said it would give me the power I need to bring back Kol."
- Vincent (to Davina): "Look, Davina Claire, do you want my advice? As someone who's been through the Mikaelson meat grinder, be careful."
Season 3
- Vincent (to Davina): "My daddy used to tell us that The Ancestors linger on to give us a safe place to land after a hard life comes to an end. But if they're responsible for taking you... and Cami. I don't know. Maybe death does something to us. Twists us up into something ugly. That ain't gonna happen to you. We're bringing you home."
- Davina: "You have done enough, Vincent. You should go."
- Vincent: "Davina, I can't just walk out."
- Davina: "When this is over, the Ancestors will be cut off. It will be a new beginning for the witches. They'll need someone to lead them."
- Vincent: "Davina, I'm not gonna let..."
- Davina: "Vincent... I am not asking."
- Both Davina and Vincent have been Regents. Him as her successor after Marcel snidely remarked to him that Vincent shouldn't endorse anymore young adult witches, such as Van.
- Vincent endorsed Davina as Regent, but also shunned her which ended her reign.
- Both are respectively powerful witches which the Strix took noticed of and recruited them to do their magic bidding. Vincent for The Serratura. Davina joined The Sisters at Aya's urging although she had her own agenda regarding them.
- They now both hate The Ancestors, having seen their true colors as they use the living witches as puppets to control them.
- Both were impeached from being the Regent and subsequently were shunned from the witch community.
- Both have died and been resurrected.

Test Part 4: Monsters around me
I could see nothing but dirt, trees, and old stone buildings that could be torn down with the breath of the wind, and yet there were people. Not people from these…what-ever-you-call-it, but people from the real world. Out side of this made up fantasy world that I now live in. Did I find a way out? Is this a trap? Will they kill me with one glance? Who knows. I took my little pocket knife out, but it was hidden in my cloak of leaves.
"Hello? Can someone help me?" I screech. I hadn't had water in forever, and I hadn't talked in forever. My voice was nothing but a whisper. "Please, someone? Get me out of here!"
"Stop talking, you sound like a beggar," someone snapped.
"Excuse me? How dare you!" my voice started to come back to life.
"Why do you look like a tree's trash bag?" someone else passed me.
"This is what I'm trying to tell you! If you would just shut your mouth and listen…" I know the test: the last part was to see what I could do with the worst bag ever. This one was to stay calm when everyone around me was judging me.
"Um…hello earth to ugly." he laughed then left
My fists started to clench, but I had to pass this. I want going to lose just because I can't keep my cool.
I walked. Trying to hum to a song that wasn't playing to keep out the horrible things that were around me. Monsters you could say. I had to get out, I had to find a way out. The last test I spent 3 days on. This one had to be one day or I would fail. I knew this test, my father had to take this test before he left. He failed, and I couldn't.

In June of 2015 I found my 1st PLD baby. After reading the caption "Meet Patty" I fell in love immediately and emailed my application. I heard from Melissa in less than an hour! She thoroughly checked me out and two days later, I adopted Patty — a poodle/yorkie mix.
In November I decided I needed a playmate for Patty. I contacted Melissa and she had just the dog for me...a poodle/bischon mix. They are two of the nicest dogs we've ever had!
Then last month we added our 3rd PLD dog... Dayna! A 7 pound yorkie/something!!! So cute! Melissa cat tested each dog for me and they have been fine with their kitty siblings.
Greg Mahle, owner of Rescue Road Trips, delivered all three dogs to me. He is a loving, caring man who takes wonderful care of his precious "cargo." These three little fur babies have brought my husband and I so much joy. They camp and kayak with us and go wherever we go.
Many thanks to peacelovedogs and Greg of Rescue Road Trips!!!

Bank of America / Countrywide Financial - Lagow
Steve W. BermanShayne C. Stevenson
Order to Unseal Case 02/24/12
Lagow Complaint 05/13/09
BofA Consent Judgment
Case Settled
Hagens Berman represented former home appraisal manager Kyle W. Lagow, who blew the whistle on alleged widespread fraud at Countrywide Financial. Mr. Lagow filed a whistleblower lawsuit that sparked an investigation culminating in the historic $1 billion settlement between the Department of Justice and Bank of America, a settlement that was itself part of the second largest government civil settlement in history. Learn more about Hagens Berman's whistleblower practice.
Lagow worked at LandSafe, Inc., an appraisal company owned by Countrywide Financial and ultimately acquired by Bank of America, from 2004-2008. According to his unsealed complaint, Mr. Lagow observed widespread disregard for laws that regulate Federal Housing Administration (FHA) underwriting and home appraisals.
Specifically, he claimed that Countrywide conspired with LandSafe and homebuilder KB Homes to inflate the appraised value of homes, boosting the size of the lending giant's loans to homebuyers. In order to accomplish this, the lending giant allegedly used a number of strong-arm tactics to pressure appraisers to report favorable home values.
The law requires that appraisers act neutrally and without regard to the lender's interests, a safeguard meant to protect the government, which insures low- and moderate-income loans.
Lagow hired Hagens Berman to represent him as a whistleblower under the False Claims Act, a law that provides rewards for whistleblowers who disclose original information leading to a successful recovery of taxpayer funds lost due to fraud. His inside information led to an expanded investigation that culminated in the $1 billion settlement between Bank of America and the U.S. Government, of which Lagow received over $14.5 million as a reward.
Mr. Lagow became suspicious shortly after he was hired, when in early 2005 he met with LandSafe's President Todd Baur. According to Lagow, Baur said that LandSafe's role was to facilitate closing of home sales, a role that was in stark contrast to LandSafe's legal responsibility; to provide accurate and safe home appraisals.
The second warning sign came a few months later, when Lagow learned of a joint venture between home developer KB Homes and Countrywide. Lagow hired staff appraisers, who were sent to homes to perform inspections only to be turned away, told by KB Homes sales representatives that the homebuilder would alone decide who would perform appraisals on its properties.
Disturbed by the potential for a conflict of interest which could allow KB Homes to assign an inflated value to a home and then cherry-pick appraisers who would agree with its judgment, Lagow claimed he did additional research.
However, as he dug deeper, he found that KB Homes had hired one person to handle all appraisals in Houston, an impossible task for one person. Yet, the appraiser turned in more than 400 appraisal orders per month. Lagow was further shocked to find that the appraiser was paid an inflated rate of nearly $450 per report.
Lagow also claimed that his appraisers were denied access to key documents that contained final sale prices for similar properties, an essential data point for appraisals. Instead, his team had to rely on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) sales price, which he believes KB Homes manipulated by reducing the sale price of homes at the last minute while reporting the original, higher price.
Appraisers were also subjected to intimidation and even blacklisting, according to the lawsuit, for failing to appraise homes at the inflated values demanded by KB Homes and Countrywide. The companies established an audit process that Lagow believes was solely designed to intimidate appraisers who bucked the system.
Lagow repeatedly raised these and other concerns with his superiors, but his claims were disregarded, according to the lawsuit. His employment was terminated in 2008.
According to the lawsuit, KB Homes, Countrywide and LandSafe's behavior contributed to the financial crisis of 2008. The overvalued homes quickly lost their value and homeowners found themselves underwater with no ability to refinance their loans.
Taxpayers also allegedly suffered millions in losses because the government, through the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), offers mortgage insurance to lenders who provide loans to lower- and middle-class homebuyers. Under the program, if a home goes into foreclosure, the government pays the lender for the remaining balance due on the loan and takes ownership of the property. When Countrywide's loans went bad, it made claims under the insurance program, costing the government millions and potentially billions.
The government investigated Lagow's claims of widespread origination and appraisal fraud at Bank of America, and ultimately brokered a settlement. That settlement ultimately became part of last year's $26 billion global bank settlement between the U.S. government and the nation's largest banks.
Hagens Berman praises the Department of Justice for its efforts in the case, particularly Assistant United States Attorneys Richard Hayes and Kenneth Abel who were responsible for investigation and settlement of the case.
Hagens Berman takes whistleblower cases brought under the False Claims Act as well as more recently adopted programs at the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)and the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

It became clear that TES Connect's A Teaching Moment in Time project had caught the imagination of the world's teachers when we started to receive contributions from South Pacific islands we had not even heard of.
The project was an effort to use the power of social media to paint a picture of the world's schools at one moment in time. We believed that if the idea worked, it could reveal the similarities and differences between the lives of teachers and students in countries around the globe.
Teachers got involved in their thousands. They emailed, tweeted, shared, commented and sent photos from Vanuatu in the South Pacific Ocean, from troubled Egypt, from Nova Scotia in Canada and even from the most remote school in the world on Tristan da Cunha in the Atlantic Ocean.
As 11am arrived in different countries and regions, teachers took a moment to share their moment. In Mauritius, we learned, they do continuing professional development on the beach; in Ukraine the celebration of the harvest is still a big deal.
Extraordinary people told us extraordinary stories. For example, Mahmoud Marei in Cairo, Egypt, emailed us about a team-building day with a difference.
"All our schools have been shut for two weeks because of national security and a military curfew. In our school we always try to be positive, so it was a last-minute decision to have this fun day. The photo is of a 'pulling the rope' competition - a bright mind suggested men v women. In our school we are a handful of men only - the female teachers took it very seriously and we were outnumbered! But they were really too strong for us."
And then there was Carl Perkins on Tristan da Cunha. He is the only teacher at the island's school, the most remote in the world. It just so happened that a ship with 70 visitors was due to arrive at 11am on 12 September, triggering much excitement in Carl's tiny one-form school. Frustratingly, a storm was preventing it from docking - our live blog kept readers up to date with the situation.
But everything was put into perspective by this extraordinary missive from Mohammad Mohammad: "Here in Iran there are so many talented people looking for international occasions concerning their profession (such as this one), but they have no chance to participate."
And at one point we simultaneously received messages from Israel and Palestine.
Changing lives
It soon became clear that what teachers share is much more significant than how they differ: teaching, learning and their students were at the forefront of their minds wherever in the world they were. In fact, it soon became apparent that some teachers were turning the premise of the project on its head, using it as inspiration in their classes. Suddenly we found ourselves live-blogging a global lesson. The experiment, it seemed, was working.
All the teachers who took part were joyful, enthusiastic and engaged. In fact, 87 per cent of respondents to our poll on the day said that they were happy or very happy in their work (see page 29). Not for them the cliche of a worn-out, cynical profession. For these people, teaching is a vocation, not a job, and their students are the focus of their professional lives. If A Teaching Moment in Time taught us anything, it is that teachers the world over live to make a difference.
The project was live-blogged for 21 hours. It involved 2,057 teachers in more than 50 countries and in 21 of 23 occupied time zones. The picture it painted was extraordinary.
Perhaps the best summary came from @WeilAnnasus, a teacher tweeter in Malaysia. "So inspiring to see the whole world come together in #teachingmoment. Thank you teachers for your passion and drive to continue to make a difference."

2,057 teachers took part in A Teaching Moment in Time
87% of respondents to a poll on the day said they were either happy or very happy in their work
We asked the thousands of teachers who got involved in A Teaching Moment in Time to answer one question: how happy are you in your work?
It turns out that you are a cheerful lot (see diagram above). So much for the global cliche of miserable, stressed teachers.
The happiest in the world appear to be in Canada and in Zimbabwe, where teachers have been at the forefront of the movement attempting to oust Robert Mugabe. But if Anesu Chifamba, who teaches in capital city Harare, is anything to go by, it's the teaching that spurs them on. "Teaching is a unique profession as it allows you to learn as you teach, to discover as you teach; it allows you to discipline others and yourself in the process," he said.

On resolving a question that has plagued me for nearly half my life
As long as fourteen or fifteen years ago, when starting my GCSE history course I was asked why I seemed drawn to 'important' history, to dictators and king's and queens, rather than the social history that my political and social views seemed more akin with. At the time I struggled to come up with a suitable answer - suitable to me, at least - and in the intervening years, through a History and Politics degree, and a History MA, I returned occasionally to the question, frustrated by my inability to provide a succinct answer. How, for instance, can I profess a belief that history is written by the common person at least as much as it is the head of state, while focusing my study on that head of state? Why, if my favourite history book is John Reed's observations of the atmosphere and revolutionary milieu of the common people during the Russian Revolution in Ten Days that Shook the World, am I then so keen to return to studies of Lenin and Trotsky and the like? Why, when it is through everyday fiction that I advocate the most effective means of recounting history - I'm a big advocate of Rudyard Kipling's sentiments that "if history were taught in the form of stories, it would never be forgotten" - did I not delve deeper into the real life stories that these books fictionalised?
At the time my best explanation was that I was interested in the personification of ideas, of the origins of those self same ideas and the lives that inspired them. This remains true, but today I revised it further, and perhaps came as close as I ever will to explaining to myself just what it is in history that interests me.
I am interested in personal stories. It is as simple as that. History, to me, provides a near bottomless resource thereof, and it is these personal stories, connected to an identifiable individual, that engross me. The more complex and in depth they are, the better. Popular history rarely provides such characters through which to view life, and as such, I struggle to identify with it. There is only so much interest I can show in the artifacts of everyday life, if they are not tied into a wider story of someone else's life. I like fiction because it enables me - who finds empathy so difficult - to gain insight into other lives, and much the same can be said of history. Disconnected objects require faculty in said empathy, which being so absent in me means that the objects essentially remain simply objects. They stand for nothing more than they are.
High history, on the other hand, is replete with strong, interesting, and emotive characters with whom to identify (one need not like, to identify with, or to be interested by their story). Because so many histories, biographies, and contemporary accounts have been written about them, their lives are vivid, thorough, and fully fleshed out. They are characters as might exist in a novel: full of strengths and weaknesses and, above all, to those who dig deep enough, human. That is what attracts me to them, the search for this humanity, the desire for someone to lay their persona out for me and let me imagine them as real people.
The sad truth is that, in general, there are few such recorded everyday characters. Were this not the case, I would undoubtedly be drawn to them over their overlords, and revel in being so. It is individual human stories I crave. History has to live to interest me and while inanimate objects, social groups, or even ideas may hold their own attractions to others, they can never compete with the individual characters that dominated my study of history.
This self-discovery, while irrelevant to most, is a big step in understanding the motives that often remain hidden to me. It came while reading Charlotte Bronte's largely unheralded novel, The Professor, and will, I suspect, remain inextricably linked with that book hitherto. Just another example of the awesome capabilities of the story.

Many of the books I love have everyday characters that are affected by large events around them. I just finished "The Redbreast" by jo Nesbo which did require a good knowledge of wartime Norway and how it had a bearing on the lives of a group of veterans. But I love 'small' as well - Like Michael Wood's series on Kibworth, or Adam Thorpe's "Ulverton" or Barbara Willard's "Mantlemass" series, a history of how the ordinary people lived and loved. And largely overlooked by world events. Dave has hundreds of modern history books, but I find it difficult to read were I have no empathy. I did enjoy Paul Murray Kendall's "Richard III" though.

Thanks for your thoughts, Susan. I'm interested to read that you find it difficult to read where you have no empathy. Do you mean that if you don't like the person then you can't like the history. If so, then that is very sensible and logical!!
Sadly I'm not quite so logical. It doesn't matter whether I like or don't like the person, so long as they are a person through whom I can see history. What I can't be interested in is disembodied history: that of inanimate objects or ideologies when they are not explored through the life of a single person.

Cool post! It sheds light, too (I think) on the fascination with celebrities--"low history," if you will.

Thanks Helen. I think you're right about the celebrity aspect too. Simon Armitage was saying similar in an interview I did with him a couple of weeks ago when he said that we're all really most keen of all on stories. I think he's right.

Are HUMILITY and ANXIETY related?
I don't know about you, but when the 'storms' of life come, I am more exhausted than ever, I don't sleep very well. It's ironic. My body is begging to go to sleep but my mind is off running a marathon. Has this ever happened to you?
So it's shocking to me when I read Matthew 8:23-27 which talks about Jesus sleeping through the storm while the disciples ran around like crazy lunatics fearing for their lives. (Maybe I am a disciple just like the ones with Jesus? We apparently react to "storms" in similar ways.)
A few chapters later in Matthew we read...
I could pretty much get these verses tattooed on my forehead because they are that important.
But enough about my tattoos... let's look at the verses again. In what sense was Jesus meek? How could meekness, or submission to the Father, give us rest for our souls?
How was Jesus "humble in heart"? How could such humility give us rest for our souls?
Is this a new idea for you.... that Christ offers to share the load of your burden on His own shoulders? How does it ease your burden to know that Jesus is carrying it with you?
In closing... let's look at two of my all time favorite verses. Yes... I have a coffee cup with these words on it...
WOW!! Could it be true? Might a lack of humility lead to anxiety in our lives? For me, sometimes anxiety has also lead to excessive busyness and I've claimed exhaustion as a status symbol.
I wonder... how much of your busyness is related to anxiety? Are there things in your life you could let go of if you weren't so anxious?
Peter tells us that we can cast our anxiety on Christ because God cares about the little things on your schedule and the to-do list that has become a burden and is robbing us of our rest in Him.
How willing are you to trust Him and put those burdens in His hands?

Churches in Edinburgh City CentreView of the City from Calton Hill
The Old Town of Edinburgh is built on a ridge that rises gradually from the Palace of Holyrood to Edinburgh Castle. There are staircase lanes, called Wynds, that lead off this 'Royal Mile' that give the impression of the city being built on multiple levels and buildings that date from the 11th Century. The New Town is also a World Heritage Site with its mix of Georgian town houses and the earliest examples in Europe of tenement flats. The views to be had from the Castle, Arthur's Seat and Calton Hill are dramatic and inspiring.
As you expect when you consider Edinburghs cultural history, the city is stuffed full of historically important churches. The John Knox House museum on the Royal mile should also be mentioned in this section and the other church worth mentioning, that is not linked below, is St Peters Church.

Compiled By Traci Purdum More than one-half of company CFOs (57%) expect September's terrorist attacks to have a negative impact on their company's earnings over the coming year, while 6% predict a positive impact. Despite the grim outlook, CFOs still expect moderate corporate earnings growth of 8.4% on average during the next 12 months. These are the findings of an e-mail survey conducted Oct. 1-4 by Morristown, N.J.-based Financial Executives International (FEI) and Duke University's Fuqua School of Business, Durham, N.C.

Lisle Bureau Retains International Accreditation
For the third time in its 27 year history, the Lisle Convention & Visitors Bureau has received the coveted Destination Marketing Organization accreditation.
Lisle Convention & Visitors Bureau was awarded with the Destination Marketing Accreditation Program (DMAP) seal by Destinations International in recognition of the organization's commitment to industry excellence and meeting the industry standard for performance and accountability of destination organizations around the world.
The accreditation program requires a destination organization to successfully comply with a multitude of mandatory and voluntary standards that span a variety of performance areas. The standards cover nearly all aspects related to the management and marketing of destination organizations including governance, finance, human resources, sales, communications, destination development and research.
DMAP is an international accreditation program developed by the Washington, D.C. based Destination International (DI). By holding the DMAP accreditation, destination marketing organizations (DMOs) communicate to their community, buyers and potential visitors that their DMO has attained the highest measure of excellence.
"It was very important for the LCVB to retain the Destination Marketing Accreditation," said Diane Homolka, Executive Director of the LCVB. "We provide a high level of return to our village, stakeholders and visitors to Lisle, and this accreditation validates that we are and have been doing just that." The LCVB works with meeting planners to bring meetings and events into Lisle.
About Lisle CVB
Founded in 1991, Lisle Convention & Visitors Bureau has developed over the years with the expanded growth to meetings, tours, sports events and leisure travel. It is an internationally accredited, non-profit organization with a mission to make a local economic impact through tourism promotion.

Roxane Petra Carmen Henrici is the daughter of German born parents, Bernd and Inge. She has lived and loved dance her whole life. She tells me, as a child her first experience in the arts was a class in gymnastics and she excelled in this.
But, it was Ballet that captured her soul. When you read her dance resume you wonder what can drive a young person to be so captured, so driven by an art form. She danced in The Houston Opera for a season. Telling me that the stage was always a place of safety and expressionism for her.
On this quiet Sunday afternoon her only audience was her rescue dog Uma. Roxane has a stage presence that can give you chills. She is so fluid and expressive in her movements.
Her dance schooling continued at Interlochen Arts Academy in Michigan. Her parents' hard blue collar ethics enabled her to attend this arts High School. They knew that their daughter was an Artist and needed to be in this type of environment to develop her skills.
Roxane has told me being so young and away from family was hard, but a growth experience. While attending arts school she missed out on family trips back to Europe and many occasions and celebrations.
After highschool Roxane studied dance at the University of New Mexico earning a scholarship in Flamenco.
On this Sunday afternoon I captured this portrait of Roxane ballerina flamenco dancer and artist. Always a dancer always a performer. Life is her stage and we are all her audience. Bravo Roxane bravo!

Spil with any fresh dating app, the question is, "is it any good?" Wij conducted a review of the Natter app recently. If you grace us with a few minutes of your time by providing it a read wij can assure you that you will emerge on the other side versed te the meaning of life. Well, maybe not, but you will emerge more informed about what Natter has done and you will be ter a better position to judge for yourself if it is worth your time.
Natter App Review Results
Wij realize that Natter is comprised of a very petite development team based ter the UK. Wij can understand why making thick switches to their verhoging can become terrific and how issues can arise. Wij sincerely wish them well and hope that Natter becomes teh dating app they want it to be.
However, te the here and now, wij cannot see anyone having any success with Natter spil a dating or people discovery app.
When measured by the standards of a dating app, wij would have to rate Natter spil POOR.
— Pros and Cons —
- App has bot evolving since 2011
- Available for iOS and Android
- Plain user interface
- Fresh dating feature is still very embryonic
- Many existing members not aware of the apps fresh dating capabilities
- Incapable to customize the search for potential matches
- Poor user practice for dating
— In-Depth Natter App Review —
What happens when you take a nonchalant social network app with a moderate following and convert it into a social dating app?
Well, obviously the space-time continuum is not affected for wij are all still here — at least wij think wij are. Anyway, Natter, the social app that some of you may reminisce from different incarnations ter the past rebooted itself merienda again te . This time with eyes on becoming a hybrid social-dating app.
It is spil if the developers eyed the "shortage" of dating apps on the market and determined, "hey, why don't wij give the world another dating app?"
All jokes aside, while wij are no longer ter the age of people discovering dating apps for the very first time, wij are ter the age of people "collecting" dating apps. Te other words, being active on numerous dating platforms. That is very likely what inspired Natter to join the ever-expanding legions of dating apps.
— How Did Natter Get Here? —
Natter has bot around since 2011. Ironically, it embarked its life on the" appiverse" spil a quasi-dating/people discovery app. Back then it functioned much spil Chatroulette or Omegle. You would register, indicate some of your preferences for the type of people that you would like to meet and you would then be served with random live movie feeds that would last for one minute. Well, that idea didn't fairly work out.
Flash forward a duo of years and Natter became a truncated Twitter. It wasgoed a social media toneel where users were expected to postbode updates and memes comprised of three words. Yes, three words. Evidently, that didn't go so well either.
— Natter Today —
That brings us to the present. While Natter has retained its "mini-twitter" three-word posting style for its main feed, it also launched a premium project that added a few more features that, according to the developers, are intended to enrich the user practice and turn Natter into an app for people to talk, meet and date.
Te terms of availability, it remains a mobile-only app with versions for both Android and iOS available spil free downloads from their respective repositories.
— What Do You Get? What Are the Features? —
The free version of Natter permits you to have a profile pagina on which you can include basic information about who you are. You can also upload a profile pic. The basic version also gives you access to the "newsfeed." That's where you can find those annoying three-word "nats." Wij're sorry, did wij say "annoying?" Wij meant non-sensical.
Anyway, the basic version now also has a "Meet" feature. This consists of a tiled mosaic of other members' profile pictures.
If you spot someone who strikes your fancy you can open their profile and request a private talk with them. If they agree, then you can start to make your stir.
Unluckily, the free version of Natter does not permit you to customize te any way the list of members that emerge on your "Meet" pagina. You will be served with members of all ages, genders, and locations. That is hardly ideal if real-world encounters are on your mind.
This is where the premium version comes into play. By upgrading to premium, not only are ads liquidated from your screen, but you can also sort the profiles of other members by geographic proximity to you. Yeah, wij know, that's not much of a filtering mechanism. What can wij say, maybe Natter wasgoed going for the "minimalist" treatment?
— User Practice —
Te the opinion of our testers, this third incarnation of Natter is a dud. Mind you, the developers have stated that further switches are forthcoming that will turn Natter into more of a people discovery and dating app, but they have yet to provide any specifics or roadmap. The way it stands now te mid-, you cannot have any reasonable expectation of actually meeting someone for a date or a hookup on this app.
Overheen a three-day period, our three testers managed to engage a total of 16 different people te private conversations. However, none were enthused about meeting te person. The lack of a decent search engine with accompanying filtering renders the entire "Meet" feature practically worthless. Nobody is going to love talking with people with whom they don't have anything te common aside from living nearby.
Also, when our testers undertook their evaluation, Natter had already undergone its transformation overheen six months prior. Exceptionally, their rollout emerges to have bot so lackluster that some of their existing members were uninformed spil to what all the switches were about. Our testers literally had to inform 12 of the 16 people with whom they engaged ter private talks spil to the switches that Natter is making. That's not very inspiring when you pay for something and three-quarters of the people who you meet are not there for the same purpose you are. Whatsmore, the Natter members that described themselves spil "long-time" members were more angered and annoyed by Natter attempting to become a dating app than welcoming.
Well, at least the cost structure for Natter Premium is effortless to recall. There is only one tier, that is $Four.99 for one month.
When wasgoed the last time you spotted a dating app with only one payment option?

Curious chromebook user
I've seen a few videos floating around on the subject of installing Linux on a chromebook. I have never ever used Linux a day in my life, unless you count ChromeOS and Android.
I have an Acer C720 (ideally what I see most people putting linux on), but its the 2GB RAM variant.
I left Windows for the same reasons many others do:
-constant housekeeping
-drivers disappearing after updates
-antivirus stress
-long boot times
ChromeOS pretty much made up for the things I hated about windows
-no driver issues
-instant bootup
-no virus worries
-great performance (despite 2GB of RAM >.>)
As happy as I am, I've been frequently hitting brick walls because of unsupported plugins like Java, and my selection of games is a bit on the thin side, where the only MMORPG's I can find are the browser based ones that play themselves.
What's my point? I'm really just trying to see if I'm better off switching to Linux or leaving ChromeOS alone. I appreciate the zero-maintenance aspect of Chrome but there is room for improvement. Is it worth it to switch?
On top of that, since I'm brand new to the world of Linux, I'm not too familiar with all the flavors of Linux flying around. I see people switching from Ubuntu to Mint and vice versa for one reason or another (but don't really understand whats going on, something about this "unity" thing).
Bottom line is I'm one of those snobby hipster consumers that likes things to work in its simplest form. My ideal scenario is:
-decent looking UI
-good performance thats optimized to use as little memory as possible
-fast bootup
-low to no maintenance
-ability to still run chrome and all chrome-based apps
-ability to install plugins to run other browser games
-trackpad (if at all possible, I'm constantly hearing they stop working after the switch)
-no viruses or malware
-a decent selections of MMORPG's + shooters
-ability to use programs that root android phones would be nice, but isn't a must
That's really about all I can think of. Is there a version of Linux that would cover all those bases? Is it worth the switch or should I just stick to what I have? Thank you for tolerating by noobish giant wall of text and any feedback is appreciated.

The delegation of 20 representatives from the tourist businesses in Phuket, including hotels, local tour operators and airlines, met their Russian counterparts in three major cities in three days: Moscow on Aug 14; Kazan on Aug 15; and St Petersburg on Aug 16.
Leading the 'Phuket Road Show 2018' were Phuket Tourist Association Vice President Bhummikitti Ruktaengam as well as Phuket Provincial Administration Organisation (PPAO, or OrBorJor) Acting Chief Watcharin Patomwattanapong.
On the ground in Russia to assist with organising the road show was Anoma Wongyai, Director of the TAT Moscow Office.
Before her posting to Russia, Ms Anoma for years was the Director of the TAT office in Phuket.
The road show was praised as a success with a total of 181 representatives from 125 businesses joining the series tourism trade show, with 82 representatives from 56 companies joining the Moscow event on Aug 14; a further 48 representatives from 34 companies joining the event in Kazan on Aug 15; and 51 representatives from 35 companies joining the event in St Petersburg on Aug 16.
"These meetings gave operators in the tourism industry the opportunity to discuss options and enter negations," Mr Bhummikitti said, adding that the road show was supported directly by the PPAO.
"This gave us the chance to bring together 15 other tourism-related organisation in Phuket and share our opinions together," he added.
Mr Bhummikitti explained, "The main attractions for Russian tourists coming to Phuket as a holiday destination are the beautiful sun, sea and beach. There are charter flights from 25 destinations in Russia to Phuket, and we have had the chance to directly meet (Russian) local representatives and make several sales there.
"In the future, we will repeat the road show in Siberia and the Far Eastern Federal District. There are a lot of people in those areas who want to travel aboard because their winter lasts for eight months. Plus, people in these areas also have high spending power," he added.
Ms Anoma noted that 1.34 million Russian tourists traveled to Thailand last year, an increase of 23.5% from 2016.
"Russia is our top tourism source market in the European zone, and Russian tourists generate the second-most income for Thailand after the Chinese," she said.
"Phuket is a main destination for these tourists. Of the 1.3mn Russian tourists who travelled to Thailand last year, 800,000 visited Phuket," Ms she added.
The road shows were imperative in conducting business in Russia, Ms Anoma noted.
"Developing new opportunities by communicating face to face is the best way to do business, but we must keep doing this in order to develop repeat visits while attracting new tourists," she said.
The main target tourists of the campaign are families, women travellers, visitors coming to Thailand for surgery and beauty treatments, as well as high-quality tourists, Ms Anoma explained.
"We are pushing for these target segments by tourism promotion. We have set a target 1.5 million visitors from Russian as our goal for this year," she said.
PPAO Acting Chief Watcharin said that road show was supported by the PPAO in order to give Phuket entrepreneurs the opportunity to meet and discuss business and update agents in Russia on new products available.
"The goal is to attract more Russian tourists to travel to Phuket. One of the main reasons the PPAO sponsors this form of tourism promotion and marketing activities for Phuket is to enable Phuket entrepreneurs to meet with entrepreneurs aboard," he said.
A key figure joining the Moscow event was Poj Harnpol, Chargé d'Affaires of the Royal Thai Embassy to the Russian Federation, which is currently headed by Ambassador Thanatip Upatising.
Mr Poj noted the rise and fall in the number of Russian visitors to Thailand over recent years, but also noted the latest upward trend in the number of Russian visitors to the Kingdom and a corresponding increase in spending.
"In 2018, we aim to have 1.5mn Russian tourists visiting Thailand. Russians are impressed by the national Thai identity and locations such as Pattaya and Phuket," he said.
Mr Poj added that Thailand should continue to develop different destinations in Thailand with their own forms of attraction.
We need to increase diversity in tourism," he said. "It is well known that Russian tourists love the beautiful sea, whether in Pattaya or Phuket, but we have to show them more about Thailand.
"One of the top current important missions of the Royal Thai Embassy in Moscow and the TAT Moscow office is to promote the diversity of Thai identity to the Russian people," he said.

Page 6: Modular building expertise
In modular construction, buildings are manufactured and fitted-out in a controlled factory environment. In the meantime, the foundations are being prepared on-site. The customer's modules are then taken to the site and craned into position and linked together. Architectural features (such as brick cladding to the outside of the building, a pitched roof, glazing, lifts or a stair tower) are added on-site.
The advantages of modular construction include:
- vastly reduced programme times
- significantly improved quality and reduced costs
- greater ability to customise the building
- minimised disruption during construction
- safer, quieter and cleaner work on site.
Clearly, modular building techniques offer many of the improvements that the Egan Report called for.
The Portakabin Group provides organisations with a fast, effective response to their building requirements and provides both building and room modules in a range of sizes to offer flexibility for building and design solutions.
For example, this system allows a building to be extended horizontally or vertically, to create multiple storey buildings, with little or no disruption to existing facilities. Internally, the modules can be adapted to match a range of specifications for open-plan or cellular offices, while externally, a wide choice of claddings, colours and treatments may be developed to fit in with other buildings or reflect a corporate style.

This is the new chicken waterer for the Jungle Room
What a great day. It's gonna be another scorcher though. It's really hard to get garden work done when it is so hot, but things gotta be done right? Yesterday, Hubby and I stacked up several more tomato plants, they are getting huge already and we have tons of green maters just waiting to turn red,or yellow. I also potted up about a dozen to sit around the yard and on the porch. I planted another dozen or so the other day in the garden. I also pulled all the broccoli out,it was starting to send up flower shoots, go make room later for more cabbage and lettuce, for a fall crop. My peas and squash plants are also taking off like crazy. I figure I am going to have quite and few things to sell in a few weeks. I am going to church camp next week as a counselor, and I am hoping things will be ready to go by the time I get back. It's going to be hard leaving for camp this year. With the chickens and this huge garden, I just hope the boys and Nick can keep up with everything that needs to be done. Silly me wasn't thinking and I have about 20 eggs that are supposed to hatch on Monday. Yep the day I leave. Duhh….. I am going to have to teach the boys and Nick what to do with the new chicks (if any hatch) and stuff. I'm just going to have to trust them. The boys are actually on a mission trip till Thursday, so all the teaching will have to be done over the weekend. Keep your fingers crossed all goes well.
Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him. Psalm 62:5
The Silky Chicken
(new coop Nick built for the silkies)
It has been so crazy around here lately. I think the summer lazies have started to kick in. There have been days where I just didn't feel much like doing anything. I did however get a great crop of lettuce and broccoli out of the garden last night for dinner. And I had 2 baby chicks hatch yesterday morning. Still waiting on the other 17. I did hear some peeping, so I am keeping my fingers crossed. My first hatch went so well, I am really hoping this one does too, but it's day 22, so I am starting to get worried. Hatching eggs can be stressful. Scarlett is still sitting on her eggs, hers are supposed to hatch next week, I am truly hoping some of those make it. I would love to see what kind of momma she will make. I've heard silky's make awesome momma's. After the next couple of hatches I might take a break from incubating, but it's hard. It's eggciting to see what you might get. I'm going to have Nick start on some more coops. That way we can start separating them and keeping the chicken yard more in order. They have taken to coming up on the porch and I really don't like it. They poo everywhere and I have to wash down the deck everyday. Tonight I will be hopefully planting a couple of rose bushes around the pool if it doesn't rain.
Well here's hoping everyone has a productive day.
Thought they stumble, they will never fall, for the hand of the Lord holds them by the hand. Psalm 37:24
The newbies
Well it's started off to be a very soggy day. We had an awful storm pass through this morning at 3 am, because the thunder woke me up. And it looks like it's going to be a wet,wet day. Although this is great news for the garden, it's not so great for my Chicky babies. I hate to see them out there sloshing in all the big puddles, but I guess they don't mind to much because they don't really even try to get out of the rain. They have a huge porch they can get under but they seem to like to just keep going about their business of foruging and running around. some of my wee ones did get a little soaked yesterday, so we are keeping them inside for today. I have 20 eggs going into lock down on Saturday. I am so excited to maybe getting some more chicks. I will have to probably sell some of these guys though. Nick is going to have to get busy working on some more coops too. They are a bit crowed at night and I want them all to have plenty of room. The rain is actually helping right now with the flies. I just cleaned the coops on Saturday and they already need to be cleaned again. The flies are awful, but I have found a few ways to try and help keep them down a bit. I am going to try them today and I will report back on how things go.
Hope everyone has a great and productive day.
We love each other, because He first loved us. 1John 4:19
Another busy weekend down and now another start to a busy week. We had a great weekend. Got most of the fence up around our garden and I just saw that our peas are starting to grow pods. I believe we will have peas in a week. Yummy!! I have sugar snap and early peas growing. I just hope we have enough so that I can freeze them so they will last longer than last year.
We had some awesome arrivals this weekend! 5 of the 7 eggs I had in the incubator hactched and now we have 5 new silky chicks. They are the cutest little things. I was so nervous Saturday night I almost couldn't sleep, but alas they finally started hatching at 5 am. It's just like new babies to come in the wee hours of the morning. I have another 20 in the incubator with a hatch date of June 9 and another 22 with a hatch date of June 22 and Scarlett, my Silky hen is sitting on 6 eggs right now with a hatch date of June 16, which is just 2 days after my sons 15th birthday. I think I have caught the hatching bug or something. I plan to set 12 eggs almost every week. That way I can have some newbies every week or so.
I did have 3 eggs that didn't hatch and I am planning on doing eggtopsies on them later today. I want to know at what stage the embryo stopped developing or if their was an embryo at all. This is all very new to me and it is all a very big learning process. But I feel that a 80% hatch rate on my first hatch is not bad at all.
What is going to be hard is parting with them after I have hatched them, but that is why I am doing this. I just have to stop naming them I guess. I do however want to build up my stock with chicks that I know where they are coming from, so I will be keeping some from every hatch. But selling a bunch too. 😦
The Lord be with you all. 2 Thessalonians 3:16
This is Bonnie Blue….. (Rhett and Scarlett's first born.)
This is the new chicken waterer for the Jungle Room
This is the roosting box Nick made for the new laying hens.
What a crazy busy weekend. What can I say. Friday night we went back to Dinky's and I got 12 new laying hens and 4 new baby silky chicks that are approx. 5 weeks old. I call them the Fantastic 4, because they never want to be a apart. If one gets lost or left behind it will let out it's distress call until the others find it or it finds them. It is really kinda cute the way they stick together. The other chickens I got are all laying hens. I got 8 RIR crosses, 1 easter egger (Patty), 1 Golden laced Wyandott (Goldie), 1 Buff Orpington (Buffy), and 1 Speckeld Sussex (Heidi). They are all great and friendly birds and don't seem too timid at all. Some will even come up to me, and several have come pecking at the back door like they want to come in or something. ANd most of them are laying eggs daily. I should be able to actually start selling some eggs soon.
Foghorn, my young White Leghorn started crowing over the weekend, which I thought was pretty cool. I can tell it's him too, because it's still kinda weak and he doesn't do it very often yet. I got rid of Harry, the little bantam rooster (the bully), and things have quieted down so much. He would crow all day and get the others crowing too. Now Peta is the one who crows the most, but only for a little while and maybe a few times in the evening. It's not an all day thing with him. I think it's because they all know now that he is top ROOSTER! so they don't even bother too much. I do have to say that the backyard is quite nosie in the mornings now though because of the girls. They cackle and make noise for most of the morning. Come afternoon though they all quiet down and it seems quite peaceful.
Because of the new hens, Nick had to make a new roosting box. It's very simple, and I made nesting boxes for them, that way they can just roam the backyard. They really like it under the back deck too, but they haven't laid any eggs under there yet.
I also got 41 pepper plants and 20 strawberry plants in the ground this weekend. Today I am going to work on the cucumbers and squash. I am also going to plant a few cantalop for my father in law and sister in law, found out over the weekend they love it and I have tons of those seeds, who knows maybe I will even be able to get my kids to eat them.
I hope everyone has a great day, it's sure to be a busy one.
The righteous person faces many troubles, but the Lord comes to the rescue each time. Psalm 34:19
This is Heidi, she is a speckled Sussex
I seriously can not believe May is almost over. This month has just about flown by. All the Chickie babies are growing and getting big. I figure we might get some eggs from some by July. Here's to keeping my fingers crossed. I decided to do things a bit differently this morning. i went out and opened all the coops and let everyone out to do their morning foraging. I am going to be taking out their food and water soon. I cleaned all the feeders and waterers last night, they were starting to get pretty nasty. I did this so that I could get back in and have my breakfast. I have been waiting until I got everyone else feed to sit down and eat myself and between feeding and watering and doing other chores I wasn't getting to eat till 10:00 am. I know that might not sound like a big deal, but by then it's almost lunch time and I leave most days at 11:30 for work.
I moved the bars outside today. They were just stinking up the bathroom way to much. They all have their feathers now so I'm pretty sure they will be okay. And since the weather is on the upturn in temps I'm not to worried about them. I moved the chicks into the bathroom and I am going to be getting the brooder box ready just in case we hatch a chick this weekend. I'm a little optimistic about that. The temp in the homemade bator went up to 110 last night for some reason and I accidentally cracked one of the eggs, but just barely. I guess we will just have to wait and see. This is my first hatch, so I am giving myself a break. I'm really hoping the next one goes better. I would really love to have some chicks that I know where they come from and who the parents are. My silky's are going to make beautiful babies.
"I am the way,the truth and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me." John 14:6

It has been a busy few days on the homestead. Nick finished the second coop yesterday. It's for Elvis, I'm going to call it the "Jungle Room". Cause you never know who is going to end up in there with him. I was thinking of putting him with Scarlett for a little while. I think a polish/silky cross would be pretty and interesting. I set another 20 eggs in the incubator last night, 2 off the eggs go into lock-down tonight with hatch day being set for Sat. and then the 8 other eggs go into lock-down next Thursday. I'm kinda hoping to keep it going like a revolving door, because I don't know how many eggs will actually hatch. I am trying to build up a stock, so I can have more birds, more birds, means more eggs. 🙂 It also means more work, but I can deal with that. The kids will be out of school soon and then I can get some help around here. Duty calls….. Have a great day.
If God is for us, Who can be against us? Romans 8:31

a few internet items that caught my eye this week:
1) this article by Annie Clark (St. Vincent) on Arcade Fire's new album Reflektor in The Talk House... so good. this website is really cool. it's a place for established musicians to talk about/review the work of other established musicians and start a dialogue... it makes musicians seem more like real people and less like imaginary people from my dreams.
2) I know Halloween is over, but I think these DIY Skull Bookends by The Band Wife would be amazing on a shelf year-round. they're on my to-do list!
3) I'm really excited to join Swapdom! it's brand new, so you start on the wait list, but once they let you join, you're able to list articles of clothing you want to get rid of and exchange them for somebody else's (like-new) clothing items that you like! seems like a dream, and perhaps I won't have to spend any more hours of my life waiting in line to sell clothes at Buffalo Exchange with minimal results.
4) obsessed with this Wolf Mitten DIY by The Paper Mama. I think I might have to adjust them to make it a fox face and then recreate it for myself this winter. (i suppose they're meant for children, but I've never let that stop me before...)
5) I'm a sucker for a good photo project and this 2013 Timelapse video by Matthew Vandeputte is pretty phenomenal.
have a wonderful weekend!
xo, miranda

Losing a job is often a traumatic experience. It's normal to feel lost, hurt and overwhelmed as you try to get a handle on what you should do after this major – and often unexpected, change. It's important to act from a position of strength and knowledge, however, rather than reacting emotionally to the loss.Here are four things to avoid at all costs after losing your job. Delay signing up for unemployment. In most cases, unemployment benefits don't start until weeks after your application is accepted, says Denise P. Kalm of Kalm Kreative.
"State governments take a long time and you need to get this going," she explains. "They may start later as they factor in time based on your severance package. Get this done immediately." If you already have another job lined up, you may not be eligible, but check online regarding your state's unemployment rules to see if you can collect. Take it personally. "Even good people are casualties of downsizing," says Tonya Tiggett of Speak Our Language. "Companies are constantly changing operations to be more efficient and have to make tough decisions at times to let good people go." Lynda Zugec of The Workforce Consultants agrees. "One of the most damaging things someone can do when they lose their job is harbor negative feelings for an extended period of time." "Although it can be difficult to stay positive shortly after job loss, holding on to such feelings can create greater problems and frustrations, which work against you when you are searching for a new position," she says. Kalm recommends giving yourself some time to grieve your loss and taking the time to take a long-view look at your career to figure out what it is you really want to be doing. Liquidate Your 401(k). It's scary when you don't know where your next paycheck is coming from, but "don't panic," even if you're tempted to start withdrawing money from your investment and retirement accounts, says Trellis Usher, president and CEO of the T.R. Ellis Group.

Summer in the City!/
If you want to get that summertime feeling in Nottingham City but don't know where to go look no further. Believe it or not we have a beach (kind of..), plenty of festivals and even outdoor cinemas.
Go down to Old Market Square between 13th July - 3rd September and you'll find Nottingham Beach... complete with a sandy beach, palm trees, a large paddling pool, rides, food and a 'beach bar' - you may even spot people snorkelling in the fountain!
Head to Victoria Embankment for Riverside Festival between 4th-6th August for a classic British travelling funfair experience, street theatre, global foods, live music until late, plenty of things for kids to do and an amazing fireworks display over the River Trent (10.30pm on Saturday 5th). We recommend getting a spot by the river to watch it. The annual Dragon Boat race takes place over this weekend too next to the festival, and the best bit is it's FREE ENTRY!
Or if something more relaxing is your thing, this year Wollaton Hall Park is being turned into an outdoor cinema on the lawn at the front of the house itself. Screenings include classics such as Moulin Rouge, Jurassic Park and Pretty Woman. They are also showing Batman: The Dark Knight Rises which was filmed at Wollaton Hall itself... aka Wayne Manor! For all information and tickets go to their website HERE. Take a blanket and a picnic. Splendour Festival also takes place at Wollaton Hall on 22nd July!
