Armenia, the first nation to become Christian during the Roman era, called its capitol of Ani, the "city of a 1,001 churches," but beginning in 1071 AD, Muslim Turks invaded, making Christians second-class citizens called "dhimmi" and forcing boys to convert and serve in the Muslim army as "Janissaries." When the Ottoman Empire declined in the 1880's, Greeks, Serbs and Romanians won independence, but Armenia was trapped by Sultan Abdul Hamid, who killed 100,000. During World War I, three generals, called "Young Turks," killed over a million men, women and children, marching them into deserts, throwing them off cliffs or burning them alive. Armenian cities of Kharpert, Van and Ani were leveled. Russia came to their aid till the Bolshevik revolution began. Armenia's pleas at the 1919 Paris Peace Conference led President Wilson in a failed effort to make Armenia a U.S. protectorate. Woodrow Wilson, who was born DECEMBER 28, 1856, told Congress, May 24, 1920: "The Senate Committee on Foreign Relations has established the truth of the reported massacres and other atrocities from which the Armenian people have suffered... Sympathy for Armenia among our people has sprung from untainted consciences, pure Christian faith and an earnest desire to see Christian people everywhere succored in their time of suffering."

A new Halo game has been announced but not for the PC or any of the consoles. Instead, the upcoming game will be released for arcade machines. Dubbed as Halo: Fireteam Raven, the new arcade co-op shooter is developed by arcade kings Raw Thrills and Play Mechanix together with 343 Industries. The game will take place in the Halo: Combat Evolved's timeline, where the player takes the role of Fireteam Raven on Alpha Halo.
Halo: Fireteam Raven will be available on 130-inch arcade cabinet that sports a 4K screen and the will feature four real machine guns that players can use either to compete against one another or work together.
"Halo: Fireteam Raven is without a doubt, the most spectacular arcade experience we've ever made," says Raw Thrills CEO Eugene Jarvis in a blog post. "After years of development, it is now ready. Experience the intensity and live the world of Fireteam Raven, You will never be the same!"
The arcade game will start to become available at Dave & Busters all over the US and Canada this summer, with a full-on release this fall. Of course, the new arcade game is cool and everything, but this is still not the Halo 6 that fans have been waiting for since the release of Halo 5 three years ago. Now that E3 is upon us in just a few weeks, maybe the Halo team will make an announcement on E3.

From The Exorcist, to Lethal Weapon, to Fargo, it seems that both broadcast and cable outlets are currently in a mad rush to create TV series adaptations of classic film properties. Premium cable giant HBO is soon to throw its hat in that ring via Westworld, an adaptation of the 1973 cult classic sci-fi film of the same name. First ordered to pilot by the network back in 2013, Westworld has been subject to several delays on the way to its arrival on screens, with the plan originally being to premiere the series last year.
For those unfamiliar with Westworld (1973), the film was written and directed by best-selling author Michael Crichton, and was his directorial debut. The plot concerned a futuristic adult-targeted theme park called Delos, in which Westworld was one of three areas that park patrons could pay big money to spend time in. Each area was populated by highly advanced androids that were designed to be nearly indistinguishable from human beings, and guests were given free reign to indulge in any fantasy they saw fit while in the park, including those of a sexual and/or violent nature. Unfortunately, the androids soon go haywire and begin killing visitors.
HBO's TV version of Westworld retains the movie's basic premise and themes, although most of the characters are original to the show, and Westworld is no longer part of a larger theme park. Heading up the cast is Oscar-winner Anthony Hopkins, who portrays Westworld's genius creative director Dr. Robert Ford. Also on-board is multi-Oscar-nominee Ed Harris as the Man in Black, a character visually similar to the menacing gunslinger played by Yul Brynner in the 1973 film. HBO has released the official poster for Westworld, which can be seen directly below, and serves to drive home the series' odd marriage between the sci-fi and western genres.
Contrasting the decidedly sci-fi aesthetic of the Westworld logo with a sweeping western vista, the poster also features a not yet fully formed "host", the term used to refer to the park's android inhabitants. Clearly female, one assumes the android in question might be Dolores Abernathy (Evan Rachel Wood), a host that the Man in Black aims to free from her robotic servitude. The tagline, every hero has a code, has a layered meaning within the context of the show. Being a machine, Dolores was programmed using code by Ford, and the trailers seem to be heavily suggesting that the hosts are the side worth rooting for when things go sideways, making her a likely hero.
With Game of Thrones -- easily HBO's biggest hit -- set to end after two more seasons, it's never too early for the network to start planning for the future. Should Westworld catch on well with audiences, the sci-fi drama could very well end up being a vital piece of HBO's programming puzzle for years to come. With a talented cast signed on and powerhouse producers J.J. Abrams and Johnathan Nolan steering the ship, there's certainly a good chance of such a positive outcome taking place.
Westworld premieres on October 2, 2016 at 9pm on HBO.

Lets be honest, we all wish for a healthy and sparkling relationship. Its every persons dream to be with the other better half, in a clear and happy relationship especially if that relationship is to last a lifetime.
However, such dreams does not come without a price. There is a lot that needs to be put in to consideration, massive commitment and sacrifices has to be made.
Lets take a look at Five key components of a healthy relationship:
*This is the most important aspect. partners has to "feel it" for each other. People who are in a relationship has to feel attracted to the other person at all costs.
*This will boost togetherness and anxiety.
*In other words, ALWAYS flirt like you just met for the first time!
*Yet another vital role in a health relationship. partners has to first understand the similarities between them.
*Most importantly respect their differences in choices and opinions. With the right respect in a relationship, chances of one partner ever being unfaithful are very minimal.
* Make them feel most important when they are around you all the time.
*Show respect to their family members.
*In most relationships, its either the man (mostly) or the lady who is always in the drivers seat. This kind of unfairness leads to unhappiness.
*However, making sure you both have equal share of opinions in every situation will enable both partners to be open minded at all costs without the fear of being controlled by the other.
*Balancing of power actually make two people feel as ONE. Do not try to control your partner despite their age or background.
*Listen carefully to their opinions before you take action.
*Actually one reason people fall into a relationship is because they NEED someone to be there for them, no matter what. Having someone backing you up with your ideas, someone who can never leave you in your worst moments, and someone to share with your happiness in your best moments……..Hey, that's the most amazing thing to ever happen!!!!
*Here is how to show support
- – give advice where necessary (stay quiet where necessary too)
- – Offer help without waiting to be asked
- – Share your resources
- – guide your partners when they seem to be getting of the line
- – be available (but not desperate and clingy)
*Who ever hates to hear the words I LOVE YOU frequently????
Come on, we all want that. That's why it is very important to remind your partner how you feel about them.
*This give surety that we are happy to have them, and that our partners are important!!!!!!
There are quiet a number of Characteristics that describes a healthy relationship, but I think the points mentioned above are quiet critical and play the BASE ROLE. And I believe when we start practicing such we will never go wrong!!!!!!!!!
Below are a few more aspects to consider when mastering a healthy relationship.

School Gardens Are Cool
According to the World Food Program, 1 in 9 people still go to bed hungry each night while 1 in 3 children suffer from some form of malnutrition. Malnutrition, which results from unbalanced diets, is a major health challenge to many children in poor communities in Sub Sahara. It is for this reason that in 2015, the global community came together at the United Nations and adopted the 17 Sustainable Development Goals – for People, Planet and Prosperity. Goal 2 – Zero Hunger aims at ending hunger, achieve food security, improve nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture. Through our work we have seen many children come to school hungry. As a result, they sleep most of the time; they can't learn well, show decreased physical activity with poor cognitive abilities leading to poor academic performance. At Hope for Children Cameroon, we believe that investing in nutrition in order to break the cycle of poverty and schools and communities have the potential to overcome hunger and malnutrition through school gardens which serves as a source of healthy eating and a platform for learning.
Our main objective is to raise children's interest in a more varied diet while encouraging them to acquire attitudes of cooperation, responsibility, self-esteem and the value of work. 4 schools and 3 communities are already benefitting from this. School gardens can make a huge difference in children's lives by showing them how to grow their own food in a safe and sustainable way, giving them access to nutrient-rich fruit and vegetables desperately lacking in their diets, and encouraging their families to do the same at home. We help kids to like nutritious homegrown foods and show them the link between what they grow, what they eat and how they feel. This program brings together school children, families and communities in a common endeavor to be aware of gardening practices in their communities- thereby bringing the community closer together for a common goal – ending hunger.

Romantic Nighttime Same Sex Portrait Session - Makario & Jason | Miami Photographer
Love is love.
Love is also surprising your boyfriend with a romantic evening photo shoot in Miami and turning a standard 90 minute session into almost three hours of snuggly kisses all over Brickell.
Photographing Jason and Makario felt like hanging out with old friends - the kind of friends that are so cute together it almost makes you want to roll your eyes. ;)
We walked all over downtown Brickell and dodged the rain while stopping for portraits. My only instructions for them were to "go over there and love on each other" and in the end we made beautiful photos celebrating their relationship during Pride Month in Miami. It was also SUCH A TREAT to shoot into the night and to grab some sexy skyline shots at the end of our session.
Hey Miami! It's HOT - and it's only going to get hotter. Why not extend your session into the night for something different? Let's grab a drink, explore the city, and make beautiful portraits!

The dust hasn't even settled after Gil Amelio's unceremonious departure, and already there's speculation that Steve Jobs is consummating his return to the company he cofounded.
Only this time, Jobs won't likely be occupying the chief executive's suite at the troubled company, which is now reeling from falling sales, licensing fights, and staggering losses. Instead, Apple has embarked on an outside search for a new CEO under Jobs's watchful eye.
"I believe that from the beginning Jobs has planned this day," one former Apple executive said in an interview with CNET's NEWS.COM. "Jobs put his key people in place."
But finding someone willing to take the helm of Apple in its current state won't be easy, either from within or beyond.
One inevitable rumor has it that Oracle chief executive Larry Ellison may have reignited plans to acquire Apple to develop his network computers. In the meantime, Fred Anderson, Apple chief financial officer and one of the more respected figures in the rapidly disintegrating executive team, will act as interim CEO.
Amelio's downfall comes 12 years after Jobs was himself cut loose from the company he lovingly built from a Los Altos, California garage to a multimillion-dollar empire. Swearing vengeance against CEO John Sculley, whom he had hand-picked, Jobs started Next Software.
Earlier this year, Jobs exacted some measure of that revenge when Apple purchased Next for a cool $430 million--and hired Jobs as a special consultant.
From the start of Jobs's new tenure at Apple, it was obvious his autocratic management style and obsession with technological design elitism was clashing with the old-fashioned, bottom-line sensibilities of Amelio and Hancock.
"Jobs is the kind of guy who was obsessed by detail and design but couldn't deal with day-to-day operations," one Apple insider said. "He had a circuit board [on the original Macintosh] redesigned not because he didn't like the way it worked--he didn't like the way it looked!"
When Jobs brought in his own executives from Next, it was rumored that Hancock would quit because control of the operating system was effectively taken out of her hands. Today she did.
"I had stayed to help Gil," Hancock wrote in an email to CNET's NEWS.COM today. "Since he is now leaving, that gave me another reason to leave."
Several other members of Apple's top brass have left since the beginning of the year, including Marco Landi, Fred Forsyth, and George Scalise, who controlled sales, operations, and administration, respectively, for Apple in 1996. All three reported directly to Amelio.
Taking their places are a bevy of relative newcomers. Guerrino De Luca, the executive vice president of marketing, and Dave Manovich, executive vice president of worldwide sales, have the most experience at Apple.
Still, both assumed their positions only in the past few months. The majority of the technological team Apple has in place now came from its acquisition of Next in December.
Outside, however, Apple's executive search committee faces an inevitable question: Who would have the hubris to take the job in which so many others have failed?
Enter Mr. Ellison.
"Ellison, longtime friend and associate of Jobs, may be the savior," said Silicon Valley-based Zona Research in a report today. "Ellison has no ability to manufacture or distribute desktop or server hardware products. Apple has the channels and infrastructure, but now seems to lack the direction and mission. The match may be irresistible."
At today's briefing, Apple executives did not rule out the possibility of developing network computers, but they emphasized that no decision has been made.
But if Ellison is even considering the idea, he's not discussing it publicly. The often-indiscreet Ellison issued a highly uncharacterisitic "no comment" to reporters today--inspiring even more rumors that he must be up to something behind the scenes.
Should Apple give up on its outside search for a new leader, there's always the rank and file. Acting CEO Anderson is well-respected on Wall Street and is the only executive to receive consistently high marks for his performance during Amelio's tenure.
No matter what happens, it's clear that prodigal son Jobs is once again a force to be reckoned with.
Internet News Editor Jeff Pelline contributed to this report.

We have a picture in our minds of how life is "supposed to be". We graduate high school, on to college, have a career, get married, have kids and live happily ever after, right?! What happens when life doesn't go that way? You do everything you can to avoid bad relationships, but they somehow find you. Or the company you worked so hard to get into goes through mass layoffs and you find yourself without a job. How do you handle it?
I have three daughters. My eldest just started high school and my twin girls, jr. high (Lord, help me). Like any other parents, we did our best with raising our kids to be normal, healthy, God-loving girls. We are not perfectionists by any stretch, but we have encouraged our kids to do their best in school, respect others, play team sports and grow up to be strong, confident women. My husband and I are a great team, we have stable careers and live in a nice neighborhood. The life I dreamed of was coming to fruition, right?!
When my oldest daughter hit the pre-teens and her behavior changed. Shocking, yes, I know. As with any girl with hormones changing, we thought nothing of it and chalked it up to puberty. We did the best we could to maintain a zero tolerance policy around disrespecting her family while gently teaching her the best ways to maintain her anger, fear and confidence issues. We experienced difficult days, happy days and everything in between. But as time went on, it got worse, not better, despite our tireless efforts to partner with her through these difficult years.
One day as my daughter and I were in the kitchen, I just blurted out an observation (to be honest, I vaguely remember this, but my daughter remembers it well) "I think you might be dealing with anxiety". By this time, this monster had followed us for 2 years without being identified or understood and usually resulted in punishments for yelling and/or being disrespectful. As soon as I said the word anxiety, my daughter took it upon herself to do some research and felt like she identified with many of the symptoms that she read about. I knew that she had dealt with difficult friendships and bullying, and that she rarely got invited to birthday parties or any social functions that may have been normal for a jr. high school girl, but I never made the connection that there could be something bigger and more sinister at stake.
As time has gone on, I have found myself sharing fairly openly with friends about her (and thus, our) struggles with anxiety. As someone who does not suffer from it, I am doing everything within my power to learn as much as I can in order to equip her with the tools that she will need to manage herself when she's triggered. But this is the first time that I feel like I'm facing something bigger than me and I'm needing to rely on our faith, other people's experiences, and my strength as a coach and a mom to persevere. I have been prepared to set aside everything I've worked for in this past year in order to prioritize helping my daughter. This is by far, the most difficult thing I have ever been through; being a mother who cannot help her child and my heart is with the millions of moms out there with struggles much larger than this. I have made suggestion after suggestion about what she can do, but as they say, "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink". This is something she has to decide to do on her own, and it's a daily struggle. Through the years my heart has broken every time I have heard of my friends' daughters being invited to all the usual social activities of a normal 14 year old girl and mine sits in her room dealing with anxiety. The only reprieve she's had more recently comes because she says she "puts on a mask" in front of others and it has helped her make friends. As much as people try not to judge a book by its cover; it happens all the time. It's one thing to teach adults that you don't know what a person is going through until you walk in their shoes but teaching compassion and acceptance of others to a bunch of jr. highers? Easier said than done.
Lesson learned
June 1, 2018: 8th grade promotion. A day I have looked forward to for a very long time. A day I get to stand next to my daughter and celebrate with her. Celebrate the blood sweat and tears that went into getting her this far and preparing her for high school. People are standing around, taking family pictures with all their smiles and flowers and my family?! Standing in the corner, trying to console our out of control crying and hyperventilating 14-year old daughter who just wants to leave as quickly as possible. I made the biggest mistake by looking at Facebook and all of our friends posing for proud-moment pictures with their families and friends. My family? No photos with the beautiful lei we bought her, no photos with her among her happy friends holding their promotion certificates. I was crushed and deeply saddened for her.
As time has gone one, we've all learned what we're dealing with and perhaps we are beginning to gain some traction. She has learned coping techniques that are helping her manage in stressful situations. Now that she is in her first few weeks of high school, my prayer for her is simply this: She does not allow this to define her and that the kids at school can see past a girl who may seem a bit off at times, and perhaps approach her with compassion and curiosity. It takes a diamond in the rough to do something like that, but as with every special lady, she deserves diamonds.

August 7 marks the 200th day of President Donald Trump's tenure.
In his first six and a half months in office, the President has promised economic prosperity and a revitalization of American industry.
And he's boasted about his success — using the record-setting stock market, and an ongoing job-market recovery — to claim credit for energizing the U.S. economy.
Trump is right that stocks are at a record, and job creation continues. What's wrong is the suggestion that this is reversing a decline that was in place before the new administration took office.
Business Insider took a look at how some key markets and economic indicators have responded to the new president in the first 1/8 of his term.
Stocks have risen steadily since Trump's inauguration, with the benchmark Dow Jones Industrial Average recently hitting the 22,000 mark for the first time.
Stocks have been slowly ticking up and hitting new highs on a regular basis since Inauguration Day, although they've generally moved at a somewhat slower pace than in the days immediately after the election.
Investors seem to be expecting a corporate-friendly agenda of tax cuts and deregulation, although ongoing troubles in the White House and the failure of the Republican-held Congress to pass a healthcare-reform law have taken some of the wind out of their sails.
After rising quickly after the election, the dollar has seen several months of weakness and erased those gains as expectations for the US economy have faltered.
The president himself has weighed in on the dollar, telling the Wall Street Journal in April, "I think our dollar is getting too strong, and partially that's my fault because people have confidence in me."
Consumer confidence spiked after the election, and in President Trump's first few months, but has stalled out recently.
The Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index, as well as other surveys of how US consumers were feeling, took off after the election, largely fueled by new Republican optimism about the economy.
However, since March, those confidence measures have stalled out.
As with the unemployment rate, however, job creation has fallen in line with trends in recent years.
The average monthly job growth in the first seven months of 2017 has been quite similar to that in recent years, again suggesting a steady but slow recovery in the jobs market. That is, there's no evidence that there's been a significant "Trump bump" in job creation.
Economic growth has also stayed in line with previous trends. The two quarters of Trump's presidency so far are marked in red.
The president and his administration have promised to spur economic growth, with a target of 3% annual GDP growth. While that rate was common in the past, since the turn of the century, growth has been closer to 2%.

The Hingham, Mass.-based women's apparel retailer said it expects to post a profit in a range of 7 cents to 11 cents a share, down from its prior forecast of 36 cents to 43 cents a share. Analysts, on average, expected it to earn 38 cents a share, according to Thomson Financial. Talbots total company same-store sales are expected to be in the negative low to mid single digits for the first quarter, compared to its previously announced expectation of positive low single digits. The retailer, which also owns J. Jill, said it was cautious for the future, given its April sales trends.

22 Jan Nuneaton and Bedworth: Conservative Budget to Bring Back Play Rangers
After calling for the much-loved and much-missed Play Rangers to be brought back in Nuneaton and Bedworth, the Conservatives will propose in their Council to bring back the valuable service.
Two years ago Labour scrapped the Play Rangers and wasted the money on a Climbing Tower that is hardly used and has been beset by problems from the outset. This decision has wasted £175,000 of taxpayers' money and reduced the level of service available to the youth of the Borough.
Cllr Kris Wilson, Leader of the Opposition, (Whitestone) said: "From the outset the Climbing Tower has been a White Elephant. We didn't have the trained staff to operate it, we didn't have the vehicles to tow it and we have been left with a far poorer service than the Climbing Tower replaced. Despite being challenged on the cost and the low numbers of users, local Labour are happy to continue to pay for a failed service.
"Instead, the Conservatives will propose to bring back the Play Rangers and invest in a successful, tried and tested service that reached far more children than the Climbing Tower does and is available virtually 12 months of the year. We want to give the children of our Borough that opportunity which was removed from them 2 years ago."
At the last Full Council meeting, the Conservatives put forward a motion to bring back the Play Rangers which was voted down by Labour. The Conservatives believe in the value of the Play Rangers and have funded the service in their fully-costed and signed off budget motion.
Cllr Kris Wilson continued: "On budget night the Conservative group that I lead will be investing in the future of our children. If Labour continue to oppose the Play Rangers they will be voting to continue wasting taxpayers' money and squandering opportunities for the youth of this Borough. That isn't fair and we want to see Nuneaton and Bedworth be a Borough of opportunity for everyone.
"The choice is clear – to vote for a service available around the year, or Labour's White Elephant which will deliver 25 sessions a year only as part of their contract. I believe residents' deserve both a high level of service and value for money, and it is only our budget on 14 February 2018 that will deliver both. Labour waste your money, but Conservatives will always spend your money wisely."

Unemployment Drops in Waterbury, Norwich/New London Lead CT; Unemployment Lowest in Danbury/
The unemployment rate in greater Waterbury and the Norwich-New London saw a larger decrease during the past year than Connecticut's other large metropolitan areas, and the state's lowest unemployment rate can be found in Danbury, according to new data released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Danbury was the only one of the state's six largest metro region to crack the top 200 for lowest unemployment rate, earning a spot at number 168. The year-over-year unemployment data shows that unemployment rates were lower in January 2016 than a year earlier in 333 of 387 metropolitan areas in the U.S., higher in 43 areas, and unchanged in 11 areas. In Connecticut, the six major metropolitan areas all saw a decline in the unemployment rate.
Nationwide, the unemployment rate dropped eight-tenths of a point, from 6.1 percent in January 2015 to 5.3 percent in January 2016. Only one Connecticut region – Danbury – had a lower unemployment rate, at 5.1 percent. Generally in Connecticcut, the larger the unemployment rate in January 2015, the larger the drop over the following year.
The one percent drop in unemployment in Waterbury and Norwich-New London-Westerly ranked each region tied for 124th for the largest drop in the nation. Also reaching the top 200 for the largest reduction in unemployment was the Hartford-West Hartford-East Hartford area, ranking 197th with a drop of 0.7 percent, from 6.7 percent to 6.0 percent.
Even with the drop in unemployment, Waterbury's jobless rate is the highest among the state's major urban areas, at 7.4 percent.
In this year's rankings, Waterbury was number 342 with an unemployment rate of 7.4 percent. Norwich-New London-Westerly was at number 295 with an unemployment rate of 6.4 percent. New Haven and Hartford-West Hartford-West Hartford were tied at number 263 with an unemployment rate of 6.0 percent, and Bridgeport-Stamford-Norwalk at number 235 with an unemployment rate of 5.8 percent, down from 6.3 percent a year ago.
Ames, Iowa, and Boulder, Colo., had the lowest unemployment rates in January, 2.5 percent each. El Centro, Calif., had the highest unemployment rate, 19.2 percent. A total of 187 areas had January jobless rates below the U.S. rate of 5.3 percent, 184 areas had rates above it, and 16 areas had rates equal to that of the nation.

As advertised, Arlyne and I are in Costa Rica. We've been here before, but this is The Great Adventure. We thought about it for a few years and decided to make it a life event. When you're retired, do you ever really go on vacation? I think we've really done it this time.
We landed in San Jose the evening of June 12th and, courtesy of Arlyne's brother, were driven straight to Puntarenas, on the Pacific coast, where Arlyne grew up. We're going to be in Costa Rica for two months. We're truly fortunate that Arlyne, well really both of us, have family and friends here. As I write this, we stayed at her brother's (Arturo) house for five days before coming back to San Jose to help with his wife Ana who was having surgery. She's doing fine now, glad we could help.
During this first week, we did some planning. There are so many cool places to go in Costa Rica. The first thing that happened, however, is that two of the country's numerous volcanos decided to misbehave. Turrialba had a moderate eruption and threw rocks, smoke, ash and gas into the air. It isn't actually closed right now but it's being watched. Another volcano, close to the capital of San Jose, is Irazu. Although it's putting out some smoke and smoldering a bit, we have a tour to this iconic site in two days. Of course, on the slopes of Irazu, there is a small bird called the volcano junco. We'll be looking out for this bird while we check the sky for flying rocks. That's one of our plans..
When we were initially in Puntarenas, we took a trip to the citrus farm of a family friend. The birds love this place, especially the parrots. How nice! Rafa Oreamuno, the owner, took us around his sizable property on a golf cart. We saw birds we knew, like caracaras, cattle egrets, tropical kingbirds, and clay-colored thrushes (the national bird of Costa Rica) all over the place. Then, we approached a small pond and spotted a group of birds we didn't recognize. I jumped out of the golf cart and started taking pictures. Then I realized we had something special as I saw crests on these fairly sizable birds. I didn't know what I had but managed to find out later. My nearly 30 year old Costa Rican bird book didn't include these birds. I wrestled with the photos until it struck me. They were lapwings. On the trusty internet, I found that southern lapwings had, over the years, moved up from South and lower Central America and were now in Costa Rica. Beautiful birds with huge red eyes, distinctive coloring and a wonderful feather running back from the top of the head. Check them out. Besides this, I snapped a photo of a flying northern jacana and got a special, perfect shot.
A couple of days later we moved ourselves to a friend's house in Alajuela, near San Jose. I've known Ronald and Teri for 50 years and Arlyne grew up with them. There are birds around their neighborhood but it wasn't until we drove to a mountainous area near the Poas volcano that we struck our first birding gold. Stopping to preview a beautiful hotel in the mountains, we thought we would plan a day tour of their nature area, which is incredible. Walking in from parking area, we heard loud squawking from a tree and saw a terrific new bird, the Montezuma oropendula! We were beginning to tap into the bird life of this beautiful country.
The very next day, we went to a nearby animal rescue/rehab facility, which is quite large actually, covered with native trees, vines and vegetation. One can walk through this beautiful place and see truly unique birds and other animals. We were struck with the numerous iguanas that roam freely throughout. Green, gray, blue…all different sizes. Of course, we can't add injured and caged birds to our list. But guess what? Birds from the "free" world, as Arlyne puts it, are welcome to the enormous grounds and we began to see them. We added a cute yellow-throated euphonia carrying nesting materials, a Hoffman's woodpecker and a yellow-olive flycatcher which was also building a nest.
Tentatively, we added a black-mandibled toucan to our growing list because there were two of them flying around the facility, apparently free as, well, birds. We'll keep this toucan in reserve because we expect to see more of them later, when we go to the Arenal Observatory Lodge, near the now sleeping Arenal volcano.
I'm hoping to update you with more of the Draper's Costa Rican Adventure in subsequent blogs. For you non-birders, I'll throw in some interesting stuff about Costa Rica and how we're enjoying our time here. I think worldwide news outlets are probably keeping everybody informed about the volcanos.
We have a dear friend who is coming down to CR to join us for several days on Sunday. I hope she doesn't mind iguanas, high temperatures and humidity and our more or less outdoor life. We don't like to sit by the pool or lay on the beach. It's OK but not too much of it.

Aspects to Think about When Investing in Genuine Estate
7 Apr
Investing in genuine estate does not just involve housing property it can also been industrial home as properly. There are some individuals that use their commercial property as an investment. The methods can be accomplished in both conditions.
There is some threat that is involved in investing in true estate. The kind of time frame can have a significant impact on any investment. It is generally accepted that a lengthy term investment in a diversity of locations is the safest and most conservative way of generating a good return on your capital. If you decide to use short term investment they can have many implications.
A element to contemplate while investing is tax. Capital get taxes will have a significant difference simply because of the time frame. Long term is encouraged in many countries because of the tax code. The a lot more cash you accumulate will advantage your tax.
There are risks to investing in house as occasionally when you consider you make a profit it will not constantly occur. There can be numerous factors as to why a person losses money when they invest. It could be that they purchased a property that was for a resale goal only and may not be capable to sell it straight away. When the sale is attainable, the worth of the property and land may possibly have decreased and so in return they may possibly not have been capable to make a profit. Other danger could be that if they are renting and expecting income on time to pay for the mortgage and never get it, it can have a negative impact.
It is easy to invest money and there are a lot of folks who seem to be performing it. Nevertheless obtaining the very best for your return isn't straightforward and you ought to know what you are receiving into, ahead of you invest. With out the correct analysis investing in actual estate can expense you cash.
There is a lot of organizing that is involved, functioning out how you invest and what you invest in, whether it will be extended or short term. Even though it does look to be that lengthy-phrase variables are far better for investing as it has a much less damaging effect on your capital, in comparison to brief term. Even so investing in long phrase, it might be smart to split your income up into distinct investments, as you may possibly get far more of a return that way. Investing in home can backfire especially if you are renting your property simply because it may possibly cost much more if the tenants never spend on time. Or you want to resell the home but are unable to sell simply because of negative timing, you may lose out when you ultimately do As you are possibly nicely conscious, investing income does take time, to get any kind of return so be patient and you will sooner or later get back what you have put in and far more.

Singer Tina Cross and Counties Manukau's police choir have joined forces to re-record Tina's song 'Walk Away'.
The figures are already grim but police are preparing for family violence to get worse over the Christmas period, and they have teamed up with performer Tina Cross to try to curb it.
Cross wrote the song 'Walk Away' last year to raise awareness and funds for Women's Refuge, for which she is an ambassador.
The song has been re-born and re-voiced for use by police, with vocal backing by the Counties Manukau District Commander's choir and local students.
"I wanted to raise awareness of a very real issue in our society and the only way somebody like me can do that is through lyric and melody," Ms Cross said.
A video has also been made of Cross performing the song with the students and police choir. Supported by Otahuhu Blue Light Choir, and with messages from It's Not OK champions Vic Tamati and Jude Simpson, this video makes a heartfelt statement – family violence is never OK, but it is OK to ask for help.

Most competitors mimic how industry leaders present themselves. That is actually counterproductive as it depicts these companies as lesser versions of the industry leaders. We can come up with an innovative design that sets you apart from your competitors and carves a unique identity in your industry. Visual Branding Branding also has its own unique unspoken language. To be specific, visual branding is what will help you communicate your message to your target audience. For example, if your goal is to create an image as an innovative company, your graphic design elements must reflect innovation. If your goal is to communicate a dedication to customer service, friendly staff could be used to visually represent across all contact points. Logo Design The foundation of your brand is your logo as it will be displayed in almost all contact points with your audience. Although designing a logo seems simple, it's actually one of the most challenging aspects of design. You need to create one symbol, word, or graphic that represents the entirety of your company and your core message. It sets the precedent for the rest of your branding efforts, so getting it right is essential. White Paper Design Here in the office we are obsessed with a white paper design, the main reason is because it allows us to make design cohesive with a corporate identity, but with just enough of room for us to add creative touch and incorporate some really cool info graphics. Marketing and Media Design Graphic design is also important in marketing and media. You can say that marketing and media are presentations designed for your audience. You want to make sure that your presentation appears professional and unique. For instance, if you are building a viral marketing campaign, you want to make sure that visual design elements like intros and fonts create an emotional response from your viewers. Catalogs, Brochures, and Print Media Design in brochures, flyers and print media has a big impact on how your campaigns perform. Various design elements and formatting can increase engagement, lift conversions, and ultimately boost profitability. It is as much of a selling tool as are the words in your advertising. We have experience in designing for direct response and can help you create the winning campaign your company is seeking. Branded Custom Icons Design Sometimes, the little details make a big difference in perception. Things like custom icons for your applications and branded Powerpoint templates lets your customers know that you are a unique and professional company. There is a big difference between custom design and templates. If you used publicly available templates for your application, it wouldn't appear professional and would be noticeable by many users. Our Award Winning Creative Design Team We have a team of award-winning creative professionals and designers that have successfully completed a large number of projects as well as many years of experience. Our team understands the big picture as well as all the fine details in graphic design. That's why you can rely on us to deliver designs that exceed your expectations.

Pensacola Turns to 11th Circuit to Save Cross in Public Park
ATLANTA (CN) — Pensacola, Florida on Wednesday asked the 11th Circuit to reverse a lower court order requiring the city to remove a 34-foot-tall Latin cross from a public park.
Four Pensacola residents claimed in a 2016 lawsuit that the 49-year-old cross located in Pensacola's Bayview Park is offensive and violates the Establishment Clause by showing governmental favor to Christianity.
The Latin cross is a widely recognized symbol of Christianity.
The case received national attention after 14 states, including Georgia, filed "friend of the court" briefs in support of the city.
The Bayview cross was erected by the Pensacola Junior Chamber of Commerce as a place to hold Easter services. The cross is currently maintained by the city at a cost of approximately $233 per year.
In June 2017, U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson ruled against the city, finding that the cross failed the Lemon test.
Derived from the Supreme Court's 1971 ruling in Lemon v. Kurtzman, the Lemon test is a three-pronged test used to determine whether a government action violates the Establishment Clause. The Lemon test requires that government practices must have a secular purpose, must not advance nor inhibit religion, and must not foster an "excessive entanglement with religion" to be found constitutional.
Vinson ruled that the Latin cross in Bayview Park is "unmistakably a universal symbol of Christianity" since the cross has "never had any secular purpose" and its presence in the public park must be found unconstitutional under the Lemon test.
The judge pointed to the similarities between the Bayview cross case and the 11th Circuit's 1983 decision in ACLU of Georgia v. Rabun County Chamber of Commerce.
In both cases, a private civic organization erected a tall Latin cross on government property. In Rabun, the court ruled that the cross violated the First Amendment and ordered its removal.
The district court also pointed to Pensacola Mayor Ashton Hayward's public admission that he did not want the cross removed because he hoped there would "always [be] a place for religion in the public square" as further proof of the cross's religious purpose.
On Wednesday, attorneys representing the city asked a three-judge 11th Circuit panel to reverse the district court's decision.
"Pensacola's actions are consistent with the Establishment Clause," attorney Luke Goodrich argued on behalf of the city. "[The city] has acted completely neutrally toward religion. If affirmed, this ruling would send a message of hostility to religion."
But Senior U.S. District Court Judge C. Ashley Royal, sitting by designation, expressed doubts, asking, "Don't the facts support that [the purpose of the cross] was primarily religious?"
"A private entity created the cross to have Easter services there, right?"Senior U.S. Circuit Court Judge Frank Hull asked. "When the [previous] cross was replaced, the government helped pay for it. What was the government's purpose?"
Hull was referring to the original 1941 wooden cross which was replaced with the current cement cross by the Pensacola Junior Chamber of Commerce in 1969.
"The government's purpose was to commemorate an important aspect of its history," Goodrich responded.
"But there's no evidence in the record, no affidavits, as to the cross's secular purpose?" Hull asked.
Goodrich admitted that there was not.
Monica Miller, arguing on behalf of the four Pensacola residents who brought the complaint, objected to the city's claim that it acted "neutrally" towards religion, pointing out that the cross is used annually for Easter services by the Junior Chamber of Commerce.
"What was it specifically about the cross? What did that cross do to the plaintiffs in terms of standing?" Royal asked.
"Being subjected to unwanted religious messages while interacting with the government through public land is an offense," Miller said.
"There's no question that the cross is passive," Royal continued. "It's not doing anything to anyone. It's just static. It's unclear to me what the effect is on the plaintiffs. It's been there for decades."
"It tells them that they're outsiders in the community," Miller replied. "The fact that the cross has been up for decades is irrelevant. It's the same way the cross affected the plaintiffs in Rabun, the feeling that the government is promoting a religion. It's even more flagrant here than in Rabun because the government has helped maintain the cross."
According to the original complaint, the large Latin cross is the only permanent religious display in Bayview Park.
"Religious symbols aren't like graffiti that the government should erase as soon as someone complains," Goodrich said in a statement today. "The Constitution allows the government to recognize the significant role of religion in our nation's history and culture."
The 11th Circuit panel did not indicate when it would release its decision.
If the panel affirms the district court's decision, the city of Pensacola will have thirty days to remove the cross from Bayview Park.

Oxtail stew recipe
Enough for six
- 1.2kg (2lb 10oz) oxtail
- 2 tbsp sunflower oil
- 200ml (7oz) white wine
- 2 x 400g (14oz) tins plum tomatoes
- 1 heaped tbsp tomato purée
- 1 small cinnamon stick
- 500ml (17fl oz) home-made meat or vegetable stock
- For the soffritto
- 6 celery sticks with leaves, chopped into 5mm cubes
- 2 medium white onions, coarsely chopped
- 2 carrots, coarsely chopped
- 8 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tsp fine salt
- ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 3 bay leaves
Bring a large saucepan three quarters full with water to the boil. Add the oxtail and bring back to the boil, then remove the oxtail from the water. Pour the water and any scum away.
Make the soffritto in a large saucepan. Gently fry the vegetables in the olive oil with the seasoning and bay leaves for five to 10 minutes over a medium heat until tender.
Heat the sunflower oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat and brown the oxtail. Transfer the oxtail to the soffritto and pour over the wine. Allow to reduce for a few minutes. Add the tomatoes, tomato purée and cinnamon. Wash the tomato tins out with a little water and add this to the tomatoes. Add enough stock to cover the oxtails.
Turn down to simmer and cook, covered, for five hours or until the meat falls from the bones. During the cooking, turn the oxtails from time to time and top up with a little stock or water, if necessary, so that they are always covered. You can also cook this in the oven: heat the oven to 160C/320F/Gas 3 and cook the stew in a casserole dish. Serve with mashed potato or gnocchi.

text: 3. Earth Fare — A rallying cry for wellness with private brands Earth Fare may just be hitting its stride. Founded in 1975 in Asheville, N.C., Earth Fare offers natural and organic foods at its 40 locations in the Southeast, mid-Atlantic and Midwest. The retailer's motto is, "Live longer with Earth Fare," which is a registered trademark. Earth Fare, which heavily emphasizes its private brands, may just be hitting its stride because it finds itself in the midst of a food revolution of sorts — that being consumers' increasing penchant for organic and free-from foods. Earth Fare has been offering such fare for years. Under its Earth Fare brand, the retailer has grown its private brand offerings to more than 1,000 products. Last May, Earth Fare introduced its Hand Picked, Discovered by Earth Fare brand, featuring premium products with contemporary flavor profiles while adhering to Earth Fare's food philosophy, meaning the products are free from added hormones, artificial fats and trans-fats, artificial sweeteners, bleached or bromated flour, antibiotics, high-fructose corn syrup, artificial preservatives, and artificial colors or flavors. Many consumers believe that free-from foods may lack flavor. Earth Fare introduced Hand Picked, Discovered by Earth Fare to dispute that notion. With the line, Earth Fare President and CEO Frank Scorpiniti emphasized that shoppers don't have to sacrifice more adventurous food choices to make the best choices for their health. Some of the products include frozen vegetarian Thai entrees sourced from Thailand; hand-topped, wood-fired pizzas imported from Modena, Italy; and brie sourced from a creamery in Vermont. Earth Fare is also not afraid to take a bold approach to market its message and its products. Last year, Earth Fare released a press release saying that "Americans are eating their way to an early grave," noting that life expectancy for Americans in 2015 declined for the first time in more than two decades. That's when Earth Fare debuted its motto, "Live longer with Earth Fare," which the retailer says "is the rallying cry for Americans to choose only the cleanest, healthiest foods." With its products and its approach, something tells us that Earth Fare will only continue to impact the organic and free-from food movement, with its private brands at center stage.
