1 small cup of coffee
As I stated on yesterday's post, my TV broke. It seems that all Samsung HDTV's have a problem with capacitors wearing out quickly, and that prevents it from turning on. A TV repairman said a visit to diagnose the problem was $100, and repairs might cost an additional $300, so I politely told him to go shove a traffic cone up his ass. But thanks to the prevalence of Samsung's glitch, there were several online instructions and youtube videos on how to replace a capacitor. If only they had the same instructions for Toyota accelerators. Even though I know little about electronics, and only heard of a capacitor from Doc Brown, I found this fix fairly easy.
The hardest part was finding the damn capacitors. I had to drive to three different stores and deep into the valley to find the proper ones. Samsung must be screwing a lot of people if that one 1,000 MF size is selling out. So if you own a Samsung HDTV, bookmark this video because you will get fucked eventually. Repairing it yourself will set you back around $25-$30 if you don't own a soldering iron. That's about $370 cheaper than paying someone. A couple of notes about this instructional: it doesn't mention that there's a positive and negative wire on the capacitor. When putting in the new capacitors, make sure the white stripe is aligned to the thick black mark on the circuit board. Also, his TV is only a year old. If your TV is older, like mine, removing the old solder will leave a bit more gunk. Don't skip that last step in part two where he cleans his circuit board with alcohol, it's better to be safe than sorry. Anyway, my TV works like new now. Real World: DC, you will get watched tonight.

1 foot-long chicken breast sandwich on white
1 can of Diet Coke

chicken paprikash over egg noodles
2 glasses of Dry Creek zinfandel
1 can of Diet Pepsi
I went to Budapest this past summer and I naturally came back with paprika. It also sat unused on my pantry shelf for six months. Today, I ended up with four pounds of chicken breasts that I had no idea what to do with. Then I remembered my unused paprika and a delicious chicken paprikash dish that Abigail ate at a fancy restaurant we went to in Budapest. It was deconstructed, with foams made out of paprika, cream and parsley that was arranged in a pretty color scheme of the Hungarian flag. Since I don't have the skills or CO2 canisters to make foams, so I couldn't recreate that dish. I went with the more traditional route instead, though I should note that a proper Hungarian paprikash doesn't have tomatoes or bell peppers. I used tomatoes because I liked the flavors, and bell peppers because they were in my fridge and had to be used soon. Also, I used olive oil instead of butter. I realize that I forced quite a bit of Italian touches into my Hungarian dish, just like Mussolini and World War II. On that note…
Chicken Paprikash recipe
– Cut two chicken breasts into 1″ pieces and season with salt and pepper.
– Combine flour, salt, pepper and enough paprika to tint it slightly pink. I prefer sweet paprika for this dish, but hot will work. Neither of them are actually that spicy. Hot means the peppers for the paprika were smoked, unlike sweet.
– Heat a stainless steel skillet with olive oil (not extra virgin, which has too low of a smoke point and will taste bitter if cooked too hard) or butter. Dredge the chicken pieces in seasoned flour, shake off excess, brown in the pan and reserve.
– Pour a bit more oil into the same pan and add two cloves chopped garlic and one diced onion. Season the onions, and sprinkle just enough paprika to coat the onions and sweat over medium-low heat. When onions are translucent, add one diced bell peppers and a handful of diced, peeled and seeded tomatoes (I splurge on San Marzano tomatoes and I think is worth the extra couple of dollars. You can eyeball the amount, depending on taste, and even add tomato paste if you want).
– Pour just enough chicken stock to cover the vegetables. Mix in thyme and cumin. I would've added marjoram too if I had that. Add back the cooked chicken pieces, simmer and reduce.
– Put a spoonful of sour cream in a bowl and season with a bit more paprika, salt and pepper. Take some of the cooking liquid and mix into the sour cream to raise it's temperature. When the paprikash is partially reduced, stir in the sour cream. Tempering the sour cream keeps it from curdling in high heat, and the texture will be silkier.
– Once the sauce thickens (shouldn't take longer than 15-20 minutes total), serve over egg noodles, which is traditional, or cooked rice. Season to taste. Put a dollop of sour cream on top. For an honest Hungarian paprikash, omit tomatoes and bell peppers.
I made enough for four servings, so I invited a friend over to share. My roommate broke out a $30 bottle of wine from a SAG Award gift basket and it was the perfect accompaniment.

Google Planning Voice Translation Software For Android? Android Phones Could Translate Foreign Languages During Conversations
ells the Times that live voice translation could be available for
Android phones in a matter of years.ย Google would fuse its growing
expertise in text translation with its new voice search technology on
Android mobile phones to offer real, live voice translation.
Presently, Google's text translation service covers 52 languages,
including the addition of Haitian Creole last week.ย Google has
developed its text translation service by crawling and comparing
millions of multi-lingual websites and documents.ย It then uses this
translation data to provide text and website translation to users of
this translation service.
On the mobile side of its business, Google has released a voice search
system for Android's 2.x version.ย Users can speak into a handset mic
and Google's voice search system will recognize the spoken words and
perform a search.ย For the live voice translation service which
Google's Franz Och is developing, this voice search technology and
Google's text translation service would be merged to instantly translate
spoken voice.
As of yet, no dates or technical details have been revealed about the
arrival of Google's live voice translation service.ย This technology
would be a welcome addition to Android or any mobile phone service, as
our continually globalizing economy may yield a greater need for voice

When An Angel Visited Us
28th April 1984 to 11th February 1999
|"Mummy, Papa, bye, bye, I'm going to heaven. God is calling me." Gazal's words woke us from sleep. It was three o'clock in the early hours of the morning on 6th February 1999.
|True to her words, Gazal finally left us for her heavenly abode at 10.10 AM on 11th February 1999.The end came following belated complications of a brain surgery for a recurrent but benign brain tumor.
|Throughout her short life, Gazal gave unbounded joy to all those who came in contact with her. To those of us who were fortunate to be part of her immediate family, she was an angel from heaven. She was God's own child whom He had given to us only for this brief period. She was a divine soul, who, like the saints and sages before her, had correctly forecast the event of leaving this world.
|This web site is a memorial for Gazal and her brief stay on this planet. It is a chronicle of her life and a thanksgiving for her stay with us. It is a recollection of her many qualities and of her unalloyed love for her family, her friends and her acquaintances, in fact, her love for life itself. It is also a celebration of her beauty, both from within and without.
|People ask,"Why do children and other young people die, when they have lived so little?" How do you know that they have lived so little? This crude measure of yours is time,but life is not measured in time. This is just the same as to say "Why is this saying, this poem, this picture, this piece of music so short, why was it broken off and not drawn to the size of the longest speech or piece of music, the largest picture?"
| As the measure of length is inapplicable to the meaning (or greatness) of productions of wisdom or poetry, so - even more evidently - it is inapplicable to life. How do you know what inner growth this soul accomplished in its short span, and what influence it had upon others? Spiritual Life Cannot Be Measured By A Physical Measure.
|Please do find time to go through all the pages of this website to know more about Gazal, about our family and about our country. Please record your comments in the Guestbook before you leave. Please also feel free to contact me at email@example.com

One of the best ways to get some money when you need it fast is with an online payday loan. It is probably the safest and quickest way to ever get some cash in a hurry. You can obtain this kind of a loan on any day of the week. Should you find yourself falling a little short on the during the week, then this is the kind of loan that you will want. Shopping online for the loan is becoming the quickest and easiest way to do any shopping for these payday online loans. For anyone who is not really familiar with these type of loans, all that you will need to do is to sign up and then just apply for a loan right online. This is planned as a way to assist all of the borrowers to be able to apply and get their payday loans. There are no documents to provide during the process for the loan and there is no paper work involved as well.
You shall be able to come across many companies that claim they will provide you with a loan, simple and easy, but remember to be very careful as there are so many scams out there over the internet. There really are plenty of these companies that do offer instant approval payday loans that you can obtain online. These loan structures do have some benefits but also there is a down side too that you must not ignore. Should you ever fail to pay towards the loan when the repayment amount is due, then this may result with additional charges being added on the amount you already owe. You can avoid this from ever happening as long as you plan it all out very carefully and make your repayments on time or else you will be paying additional fees.
Coming up a little short for money can happen to just about anyone at any given time. But you can avoid this situation by obtaining these fast and easy cash advances. This method is being used by so many people, making this a very popular means of getting money whenever you need it. There is no doubt you could apply for a personal loan, but with all the requirements it can become quite a hassle. However, there is never a need to go through this process as it is fast and easy to obtain one of these payday online loans.
These loans will come in quite handy whenever you may need some cash in case of an emergency, car loans that are due on the auto or mortgage payments, any medical emergencies. This process is quite fast when it comes down to obtaining the loan and can not be compared anywhere else

Sunday. Last day of the training week. Time to let the muscles rest. After yesterday's throw downs and climbing fest, I finished up the week needing some final climbing with Flagstaff and Sunshine Canyon with a dip down into Gold Hill, then turn around and bomb back down to home. It is sick living at the apex of all these great training routes.
Surprisingly the legs felt fairly fresh and the power was basically there on both big efforts. The KEY was yesterday's wade into a freezing Boulder creek. It was an unbelievable recuperation and I recommend it to everyone after along hard ride. It's like therapy. Well it is, I hear.
Happy work week everyone. 7 months to Belgie.

When I first imagined this life — living on the road in an RV with my wife and two dogs — long before we purchased our motorhome and began our journey, I envisioned us cruising gleefully down US Route 66, the dry, desert breeze blowing through our hair as Beth sits with her feet on the dash and two happy, goofy puppies sit smiling behind us, watching the scenery fly by.
Fast forward 5 months into our journey, and the reality isn't quite so picturesque. Turns out, our dogs really suck at this.
As I sit here writing this, it's 5:30 AM on central Florida's Space Coast, and my two dogs are panting loudly and shivering, one standing perfectly still and wrapped tightly in a Thunder Shirt, the other curled up in a ball on the floor beneath him. It's raining outside and the sound of the raindrops falling loudly on the roof (along with acorns, leaves and the occasional tree branch) instill in these naive canines, the fear of God. They woke us at 3:00 AM, and after half an hour trying to keep them off the bed and prevent them from breathing hot, sweaty dog breath in our sleeping faces, I finally gave in and decided to just sit up with them in the living room to console them during this time of extreme panic. I only wish it didn't happen every time it rains. I'd share a photograph of this moment if the flash of my camera wouldn't frighten them as much as lightning and make the situation worse, but it absolutely would.
I actually find the tink tink tink sound of rain and the tap tap tap of debris skittering across the roof to be quite relaxing, as it reminds me that I'm living freely and with purpose, far from the humdrum, prosaic daily life that living in Atlanta so recently represented. Unfortunately, to my furry four-legged friends, living in a long aluminum and fiberglass tube isn't quite as exciting as having free run of a wooded and fenced 1/2 acre domain to frolic in.
Of course, it's not really their fault. As puppies, they grew up on a farm with my mom, running free on 300 acres shared principally with horses, cows and snakes. When they were just a year old, my mom moved from the 300 acre farm to an 850 square foot apartment and Beth and I agreed to take Hamilton and Sedona into our home to live with us and our other awesome dog, Cain. In very short order, these spastic and minimally trained mutts become permanent members of our family, and when Cain was taken from us by cancer a few years later, they burrowed even further into our hearts to become nothing short of our two best, if slightly special, friends.
Across the years, we observed that both dogs had their neurosis, not unlike ourselves. Sedona is rather frightened of loud sounds, and although we never hit our dogs, she cringes and ducks when she hears things falling in another room as if they'll fall straight through the wall to bonk her on the head. Hamilton, on the other hand, is perfectly convinced that thunder is directed specifically at him, some sort of universal retribution for digging the wrong hole or peeing on the wrong bush. When we lived in a 2600 square foot house, their neurotic behavior was annoying and occasionally cute, but we could calm them with the TV, and if things got really out of hand, we'd simply shut them out of the bedroom so they wouldn't keep us up all night. Unfortunately, as we planned to abandon the monotony of our former lives, we didn't consider the late night implications of living in a small, narrow house with an uninsulated metal roof and nothing more than hollow, splintery doors to separate us from two neurotic 50 pound dogs when it sprinkles and they're once again convinced the sky is falling.
So, I'll conclude this post with my latest epiphany: while learning to live and love our new life isn't terribly tough for Beth and I, we're quickly coming to understand that we're not the only ones who have a lot to learn on this journey. Patience, forgiveness and diligence will be increasingly necessary if we're all four going to keep from killing each other as we wind our way across this majestic landscape of ours. Wish us luck!

Jefferson Hagen / MacEwan Athletics
EDMONTON – Amid a scrappy, rugged, uncut diamond in the rough kind of basketball game, Mackenzie Farmer found a way to deliver a silky-smooth strike from behind the arc with mere seconds left on Friday.
The kind you would want to frame.
After that, the horn sounded in traffic under the Griffins' hoop as MacEwan hung on for a 53-49 victory over the visiting Mount Royal University Cougars to push their record to 4-9.
MRU is left still searching for their first win of the Canada West women's basketball season, falling to 0-13.
"If I were to think about the shot more, it probably would not have gone in," admitted the freshman Farmer, who led the Griffins with 12 points. "I think just knowing I've hit the shot before and knowing I can hit the shot (helped)."
Her three came on the heels of another clutch MacEwan trey as Kristen Monfort-Palomino scored with 45 seconds left. But MRU's Michelle Tiffany answered right back 15 seconds later to get the Cougars within one. They would get no more.
"I thought we really struggled to find a rhythm all night at the offensive end and sometimes it just comes down to players making plays," said MacEwan head coach Katherine Adams, whose team shot just 31.8 per cent from the field as nothing came easy.
"We had two kids step up when we needed it and hit shots. Sometimes that's what you need to happen when you're having a difficult time getting into a flow and finding what it is you're trying to get."
MRU head coach Nathan McKibbon only needed to point at the stats in explaining what happened to their fortunes.
Only 24.4 per cent shooting from the field. Just 8-for-16 from the free-throw line.
"We played a little bit better in the fourth quarter, but you're not going to win many games when you score 16 in the middle two," said McKibbon, who was decked out in some snazzy pink converse kicks in honour of Shoot for the Cure, a special night MacEwan and the rest of U SPORTS were hosting to raise money and awareness for breast cancer research. "You're not going to win many games when you shoot 25 per cent from the field.
"I thought we had opportunities. I think our defence caused turnovers. I thought we did a decent job of getting to the offensive glass. We just didn't make enough of our opportunities."
The Cougars did win the turnover battle (23-20) and had the Griffins' offence out of sync for most of the contest, particularly in blanking them for nearly seven minutes to open the second quarter.
"They're a scrappy, tough defensive team," said Adams. "They have to play that way to try and generate more offensive possessions for themselves. We just panicked under pressure a little bit and turned the ball over at inconvenient times. It put them in positions to be able to score.
"We held them to 49, which is – on any given night to hold a team under 50 points is pretty good. But we still gave them way too many opportunities."
Both Kayla Ivicak (10 points, 13 rebounds) and Paige Knull (10 points, 10 rebounds) hit double-doubles for the Griffins, while the former's night also included five assists and three steals.
MRU was led by a game-high 22 points and near double-double (nine rebounds) from Gala Mestres, who added three assists and three steals. Tiffany bucketed 11, while Abby Gillette had a game-high two blocks.
Both teams will be looking to make adjustments for Saturday's rematch (5 p.m., Atkinson Gym, Canada West TV).
"Honestly, we're going to have to come to shoot, we're going to have to be focused, we're going to have to get shots," said McKibbon. "We'll make a couple of technical changes and we have to build on that last quarter, make sure we're able to score the ball tomorrow."
The Griffins will also be looking for changes, particularly anything that can kick their offence into a higher gear.
"I think our discipline and execution at the offensive end probably first and foremost," said Adams. "They're going to make some adjustments, so we'll have to be prepared to look at something else as well."

After loosing weight, you might wanna get some lean muscle and you always tend to get a toned body as well as a flat stomach, so you might wanna get some easy tips before starting your routine and a journey that will absolutely end with a beautiful goal that you always wanted to reach.
Want to lose fat and gain lean muscle? here are some tips! 🙂
1. Train with challenging weights in the six to 12 rep range
Adding lean muscle (called hypertrophy) is achieved with challenging weights in the rep range of six. Hypertrophy is the process of increasing the number of cells within an organ or tissue (such as muscle tissue), thereby increasing its overall size. If you train with higher reps you surpass this stage and train your muscles for endurance rather than lean muscle
2. Train at least three times a week with weights
Muscle growth occurs through adaptation. You need to stress the muscles often enough to elicit the adaptation response. The muscle gets stronger and bigger, due to the stress placed upon it. Training also needs to be challenging but don't forget to get some rest days in order to let your muscle grow in a healthy way without any damage.
3. Eat plenty of protein
Protein is the building block of muscle tissue (among many other tissues in the body). When you are training hard you need to ensure you are getting enough protein to aid with recovery and repair of your muscle cells in order to achieve hypertrophy.
4. Reduce your intake of carbohydrates but don't eliminate them
You can't burn fat in the presence of insulin and every time you ingest sugars or carbohydrates, your body releases insulin. Yet carbohydrates are beneficial for brain fuel and your body's preferred energy source, as well as for muscle recovery – so don't eliminate them even. The best time to eat carbohydrates is around your training times – before, and especially after, a challenging workout.
5. Eat more veggies
Not only are veggies low in calories and packed with nutrients. i personally eat them after my workouts, of course baked with some olive oil to keep them moving and have a long side with it some meat or chicken and maybe a soup if you prefer!
6. Eat enough food
One of the biggest mistakes women make is not eating enough to fuel their body and assist with their fat loss and lean muscle gain goals. You need to eat regular meals packed with protein, some complex carbs, lots of vegies and some good fats. Starving yourself is only going to slow down your metabolism and see you gain weight long term, making it harder to get it off and keep it off.
7. Get enough rest and sleep
Many overlook the importance of sleep, but if you don't get enough sleep you can't function properly and this has two negative outcomes. The first is that you are unable to work to your full potential or hard enough in your training sessions. The second is that when you are tired, it messes with your hormones making it much harder to resist cravings. Resisting craving is very important in this point in order for you to avoid eating un-healthy food stuffed with un-necessary Calories.
8. Don't overdo the cardio
If you want to lower your body fat and gain lean muscle too much cardio is counter-productive – especially the popular long, slow kind such as long distance running or cycling. Muscle wastage occurs when performing a lot of long duration cardio, so instead try 2-3 short, high intensity sessions and only add longer, more moderate sessions as a last resort. The aim should always be to do as little cardio as possible if body re-composition is your goal.
9. Hide the scales
When you change your body recomposition for the better, you add lean muscle weight (while reducing fat weight) so you may not see a huge drop on the scale but you will definitely see it in the mirror and by how your clothes fit.
10. Be patient
Body recomposition takes time – 12 weeks is a great time frame. If you are looking for rapid 'weight' loss, you will find yourself losing precious muscle tissue instead of fat. But being patient is always the key to your results. if your upset because you didn't find results in a short time span this will probably ruin your program and you may even stop, so give it a little time and trust me at the end you WILL be happy! 🙂

So this week's challenge for Project Run and Play is Fall Holiday Wear.... my favorite fall holiday? My eldest daughter's birthday!
Her 5th birthday is coming up in a few weeks and every year I take my kids birthday photo. I like to make them something special to wear for this photo op.
Here are the last year's: Jaden, Julia and Jace.
Here are the last year's: Jaden, Julia and Jace.
So for this year I thought I would kill 2 birds and use this week's challenge to get Jaden's birthday dress finished.
And thus the Quilted Autumn Rainbow Dress was made.
After cutting all the diamonds I sewed them together into strips, then sewed the strips together.
I ironed all the seams flat then sewed around all the diamonds onto a thin lining material.
I used Simplicity Pattern 3511 but "thinned" it out a little bit. I have made the pattern several times before and it is always so big and loose (Bias Pattern Remix and Simplicity 3511) so I made this dress a size smaller and then took off about 3 inches in the width of both the bodice and the skirt part.
I am throwing Jaden a rainbow / art party so this dress fits in perfectly with my plan.
This is my first attempt at quilting, not too hard, but defiantly time consuming. I couldn't imagine making a quilt to fit on a bed- but this rainbow pattern would really look good in a little girl's room.
Hope you all have a great weekend! Check out the other Fall Holiday Outfits in the Flickr group.

The new asset management global operating model
Asset management: achieving a competitive advantage
Today's asset management industry is marked by increased competition, heightened regulatory scrutiny and growing customer demands for more information and greater transparency – all set against the backdrop of a volatile market. As firms grapple with business issues such as product innovation, evolving fee structures and industry consolidation, they also find themselves needing to devote more time than ever to managing regulatory demands.
Luxembourg provides solutions to many of today's challenges faced by the asset management industry. With over US$3 trillion of assets in investment funds, covering both traditional and all alternative asset classes, Luxembourg is the largest international investment fund domicile in the World and the leading cross-border distribution hub for investment funds.
EY can assist you to set up in Luxembourg, enhance your current product range and operating model, and face issues that affect the asset management industry:
- Luxembourg UCITS
The UCITS (Undertaking for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) is the globally recognized brand for retail investment funds, such as equity, bond, money market and mixed funds, as well as funds of funds.
With over US$2.5 trillion of assets in UCITS investment funds, Luxembourg is the No. 1 global center and distribution hub for UCITS.
UCITS can be distributed relatively easy to all investors – both retail and all types of institutional investors – in key distribution markets across Asia, Latin America, Europe and the Middle East.
Current and future developments impact UCITS, management companies, and service providers include:
- European guidelines on exchange traded funds (ETFs) and other UCITS issues
- Luxembourg's provisions on management company "substance"
Read more:
- Alternative Investment Fund Managers – AIFM
In 2013, a new regime will be implemented across the European Union (EU), regulating the managers of alternative investment funds (AIF) – i.e., investment funds that do not classify as UCITS. The objectives of the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) include enhancing investor protection, increasing transparency for investors and regulators, and better managing systemic risks related to alternative funds.
Authorized AIFM will benefit from a passport to market the AIF they manage to professional investors throughout the EU, similar to the passport for the marketing of UCITS to retail investors. The AIFM regime is expected to create a global "AIF brand" comparable to the UCITS brand. Luxembourg is well positioned to "replicate" the Luxembourg UCITS success story for the distribution of alternative funds, benefiting from its reputation and expertise as a hub for UCITS products.
While the main focus of the AIFMD is on managers of alternative funds, the AIFMD will not only impact EU and non-EU AIFM, but also EU and non-EU domiciled Alternative Investment Funds (AIF), service providers to these funds and their investors.
The AIFMD has ramifications far beyond achieving basic compliance:
- Alternative investment groups (including promoters, sponsors, advisers, general partners and managers of all types of non-UCITS funds) should conduct a strategic review of their fund ranges and their operating models
- Service providers, especially depositaries, custodians, administrators and valuers, will also need to assess the strategic impact on their service offering and operating model and consider how they will react to new obligations and risks introduced by the AIFMD
- Investors will need to consider the accessibility of products, and the AIFMD's impact on their investment process
Read more:
- The Luxembourg Specialized Investment Fund − SIF
The Specialized Investment Fund (SIF) is Luxembourg's leading alternative investment fund (AIF) investment fund vehicle. The SIF regime has been used extensively to launch all types of AIF products including hedge funds, private equity funds, real estate funds, commodities funds, thematic funds investing in specific segments (such a microfinance or the environment) or exotic assets (tangible such a luxury goods and intangible such as intellectual property), as well as traditional funds primarily for non-retail distribution.
The SIF regime may be used to create funds with different characteristics, such as multiple compartments (sub-funds), multiple share classes, direct and indirect funds, funds of funds, master-feeder structures, exchange traded products and structured products.
SIFs enjoy more flexibility than UCITS, especially in terms of eligible investments and structuring. SIFs may be offered to a wide range of eligible, well informed investors.
The Alternative Investment Fund Managers (AIFM) Directive will further boost its use significantly over the coming years.

- Why Luxembourg for investment funds?
Luxembourg is the leading global location for all types of investment funds.
The success of Luxembourg in attracting investment funds, and becoming a major financial center, may be attributed to a number of factors such as:
- Reputation of the Luxembourg brand in the investment fund industry
- Attractive range of investment fund solutions
- Regulatory environment including accessibility, knowledge and responsiveness of the regulator
- Stability and certainty:
- Political, economic and social environment
- Legal environment and taxation regime
- Ability to achieve tax neutrality for products by considering direct and indirect taxation implications at fund and investor levels
- Operational factors such as relocation costs, local infrastructure, and the qualifications and knowledge of the multicultural, multilingual international workforce
- Service provider considerations such as their expertise and ability to meet specific local distribution market requirements from Luxembourg
- Central location at the heart of Europe with easy access to other financial centers
Read more:
- Global Fund Distribution
UCITS can be marketed to all types of investors in most key distribution markets. The UCITS brand is recognized worldwide.
A comparable global brand for the marketing of alternative investment funds (AIFs) emerged following the implementation of the alternative investment fund managers (AIFM) Directive.
UCITS and AIFs benefit from a "passport" enabling them to be marketed to investors across Europe. Marketing outside Europe is subject to the national regimes of each country where the marketing takes place.
Luxembourg is the leading location for global cross-border distribution of investment funds. Luxembourg investment funds are distributed across Europe, Asia, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East.
EY Global Fund Distribution (GFD) is a set of innovative services developed by EY to support asset managers with the cross-border distribution and registration of their UCITS and AIFs and other collective investment schemes (CIS). It covers all key fund distribution markets in Europe, Asia, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East.
EY GFD services are tailored to the specific needs of each client.

- Regulatory Reporting
The Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II) and the Packaged Retail and Insurance-based Investment Products (PRIIPs) regulation are increasing the regulatory requirements for asset managers. EY's regulatory reporting service helps you to meet these reporting requirements, with comprehensive managed solutions, tailored to your needs.
- Private Banking
The Luxembourg wealth management industry is currently at a turning point, facing the challenge of adjusting its business model as a result of the end of banking secrecy for EU residents as from 1 January 2015, the evolutions of the customer profiles, needs and behaviors and the increased regulatory pressures.
Visit our Wealth Managament dedicated page to discover how EY Luxembourg can help you
Wealth management solutions continue to play an increasingly important role in the success of bank trust organizations, private banks, fees-based brokerage entities and RIAs.
- Luxembourg: the gateway for Islamic finance and the Middle East
Islamic finance is one of the fastest growing areas of the global financial services industry. The spread of Islamic finance into western markets demonstrates that it is now being viewed by investors, financial institutions and regulators as a viable alternative to conventional products.
Read more:
- Digital transformation
The world is characterized by a rapid pace of technological change, increasing connectivity and ubiquity, exponential growth of data and continuous innovation. Digital technologies such as mobile, social, analytics and the cloud are rapidly converging on the wealth management industry and will fundamentally shape client value propositions and operating models of wealth managers in the years to come.
- MiFID II
Since its implementation in November 2007, MiFID has been the cornerstone of capital markets regulation and investor protection in Europe. Since its inception, however, not all benefits have been fed down to the end investor as envisaged. MiFID II is aiming to address the shortcomings of the original MiFID release and respond to lessons learned during the financial crisis. MiFID II was voted in April 2014 with propositions of technical advices issued in December 2014. Implementation is due by 3 January 2017.
MiFID II is far from being a marginal change. The new text will radically change the market, with profound implications for all actors: banks, investment firms, asset managers in the funds industry, and market infrastructures. Impacts may be far reaching and go well beyond the traditional regulatory areas. We expect no business or operating model to remain untouched. In Luxembourg, the entire value chain in private or retail banking will be revisited as well as the distribution strategy in asset management.
What are the main challenges? Have a look at our MiFID II page to find out about the top 10 impacts you need to know, read our points of views and talk to us.

Grady Harp, who wears Amazon TOP 50 REVIEWER, VINE VOICE, HALL OF FAME REVIEWER and REAL NAME badges, gives my new book Lose Weight with Okara: a Miracle Food a 5-star rating. Grady says, "Eigh supplements his book with some fine historical facts that embellish his concepts of using Okara as a means of losing weight. His emphasis is on Okinawa, known for the long life and disease free state of its citizens. He introduces the Japanese concept of `hara hachi bu' – translated freely it means `quit eating when you are 80% full.'"

Memories are fragile; initially forming and then retrieving them are both dependent on new protein synthesis in the brain, and both processes are vulnerable to disruption. A number of agents are known that can impair memory and these can certainly be useful — for example, in treating post-traumatic stress disorder (ptsd). Enhancing memory, however, has proven more difficult. Yet as noted in The New York Times last week [1], two different research groups have recently reported enhancing memory in rats [2-3]. Of note is the fact that they did so utilizing independent molecular pathways.
Memory Enhancement Achieved in Rats

Growth Factor Enhances Memory, Prevents Forgetting in Rats
January 31, 2011 | by
A naturally occurring growth factor significantly boosted retention and prevented forgetting of a fear memory when injected into rats' memory circuitry during time-limited windows when memories become fragile and changeable. In a study funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), animals treated with insulin-like growth factor (IGF2) excelled at remembering to avoid a location where they had previously experienced a mild shock [1].

It was a totally a new experience for me as a captain: Dhawan
His batting was flawless as he led Sunrisers Hyderabad to a convincing eight-wicket win over Kandurata Maroons but Shikhar Dhawan says it will take him time to learn captaincy skills.
Dhawan, who scored a 71 in Hyderabad's chase of 169, led the IPL side for the first time.
"This was a totally a new experience for me as a captain. It was my first day as captain so I have a lot to learn.
"I will make a lot of mistakes, and have to learn from them. It is part and parcel of the captaincy," the left-handed batsman said.

Photographs: BCCI
'I felt the fast bowlers had more to offer'
Dhawan said he went with his reading of the game but admitted that he could have used spinner Amit Mishra more as he gave him just one over to bowl.
"I thought this wicket didn't support turn but I should have used him more (Mishra). Plus they had a lot of left-handers so we didn't think the spinners would do much. I felt the fast bowlers had more to offer on this track," he said.
Dhawan said he was not worried at all despite a stiff target at hand to chase.
"It was a good total from their side, but I knew it was chaseable because on this ground it is easier to chase."

The Silk Roads: Leading Us Astray? Susan Whitfield, IDP, The British Library Response by Xin YU, Fudan University
Is the Silk Road a meaningful or misleading concept for our understanding of pre-modern Afro- Eurasia? How has its emergence as a worldwide brand and, most recently, as a politico- economic strategy, threatened or assisted scholarship? Should we reject or embrace it? Susan Whitfield will consider these questions, looking at the origin, history and growth of the Silk Road concept and its modern manifestations.
The Ancient Silk Road in Light of New Discoveries in Gansu Doucheng DU, Lanzhou University
Response by Annette Juliano, Rutgers University
The overland Silk Road may have been opened in ancient times, the maritime route may have developed long before the Song dynasty, and political and military interests may have been stronger than economic ones. This talk introduces recent discoveries in Buddhist archaeology in Gansu province against this historical background.
5:00-6:30. Reception
Huaiyu CHEN is Associate Professor at Arizona State University, where he teaches Chinese religion, Buddhism, and Silk Road Studies. His books cover Chinese Buddhist monasticism, the philosophy of animals in Buddhism, and modern Chinese Buddhist historiography.
Doucheng DU, a Gansu native, graduated from Peking University and is Professor at Lanzhou University, where he has served as Chair of the Department of History and Director of the Institute for Dunhuang Studies. He has published ten books and authored more than sixty articles on Dunhuang studies and related subjects.
Annette Juliano is Professor of Art History at Rutgers University-Campus at Newark, where she teaches Far Eastern art history. She chaired the new Department of Visual and Performing Arts and also served as Associate Dean. She is Visiting Research Scholar at the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at New York University.
Stephen F. Teiser is D.T. Suzuki Professor in Buddhist Studies at Princeton University. He works on the history of Buddhism, Chinese religion, and the Silk Road. His books utilize textual and artistic sources to discuss healing, death, and rebirth.
Susan Whitfield is a historian of China and the Silk Road. As Director of the International Dunhuang Project at the British Library, she curates a large collection of Central Asian manuscripts and works with colleagues worldwide to make this and the rest of the archaeological legacy from the eastern Silk Road freely available online. She has written widely on the Silk Road, and has travelled along much of its length.
Xin YU is Professor of History at Fudan University and has held visiting appointments at Ecole des Haute Etudes en Sciences Sociales and Princeton University. He has written four monographs on topics ranging from popular Chinese religion to natural history and manuscript studies.

Video recording for mobile app testing is a neat feature that provides video as an output from the remote test sessions. When you start a test run on any number of devices and something goes wrong with any of those device runs, it's a great feature to check what actually happened on that run – by looking at the video.
Video Recording on Any Number of Devices Simultaneously
One of the greatest benefits of mobile test automation is that its users are able to run their test scripts simultaneously on number of real mobile devices. This sort of parallelism brings the efficiency in testing and significantly improves the productivity, and gets things done earlier.
Video recording combined with simultaneous test runs on devices enables even not technical QA team members to check what goes wrong in a test run, without investigating logs or other useful data.
With this new enhancement in Bitbar Public Cloud (Testdroid Cloud) users can record videos of all their test sessions while they use any of supported test automation frameworks: Robotium, Calabash, Appium (both, Server and Client-Side), UIAutomator, Espresso and App Crawler on Android.
So, how to get started? Simply start a test run for your Android application with any set of devices, using any test automation framework, and all sessions will be recorded and maintained in the test run view. After all tests are finalized results will be available and even downloadable for local inspection. Please get in touch with your dedicated customer representative to enable this feature for you.
Video Recording Enabled in Private Cloud and On-Premise
This new improvement is available across all Bitbar Testing product deployment options. Recording a video is now possible if you have a private cloud set up for you – or you use Bitbar On-Premise product in your local environment. And naturally the same feature is available for all Bitbar Public Cloud users with Business account.
Want to know more about these features available with Private Cloud and On-Premise solutions? Get in touch with us and we'll be happy to tell you more!

The Juicy Fruits "Goodbye, Eddie, Goodbye"
from Phantom Of The Paradise - Original Soundtrack Recording MP3 Album (A&M Records 1974) —Import CD here features the musical's opening #.

Sébastien Tellier "Divine"
from Sexuality MP3 Album (MRI / The Orchard 2008) —PHANTOM appears to have gained its greatest recognition in France (as this song attests to), & Canada, where the film ran for 4 mos. in Winnipeg. S. Tellier describes this as "my tribute to the Beach Boys & the Juicy Fruits" (fr/PHANTOM).
Bill Finley "Faust"
from Phantom Of The Paradise - Original Soundtrack Recording MP3 Album (A&M Records 1974) —William Finley distinguished himself in 2 DePalma films, SISTERS ('73), & as the titular PHANTOM.

Alice Cooper "I Love the Dead"
from Billion Dollar Babies MP3 Album (Rhino/Warner Bros. 2001) —Alice Cooper is a "shock-rock" icon from Detroit/Arizona. This 1973 classic evokes for me Gerrit Graham's PHANTOM character, "Beef."

Anna and Mike arrived around mid-morning on Saturday and we loaded them up into our car and headed west to the Czech Republic. We originally had planned to spend the night in Cesky Krumlov since we had all heard great things about it, but some car trouble forced us to stop early in Prague. Not a terrible thing! We had already been planning to spend the following few nights there, so having an extra night there really wasn't that much of an inconvenience.
That night, we ventured out for dinner and Mike and Mike stayed out for a night of Czech beer drinking. Luckily, they were able to recover the next morning as we set out to follow our buddy Rick Steves on his walking tour around Prague.
|That baby bump is starting to make an appearance!
|I love Prague
|I'm sure Rick Steves told us why this horse is upside down, but I don't remember and it just looks like a weird statue in the middle of a mall to me.
We ventured in to the Czech/European version of FAO Schwartz, which was fun, even for four adults. They have a merry-go-round in the store and a slide that goes from the second level to the one below. Mike even found a life size bear. He's now determined to get one for the nursery when we get back to the states.
|The entrance to the Charles Bridge
After our walking tour, we went and got Mexican for lunch. I'm always glad when guests don't want German food because, as good as meat and potatoes are, I can only eat but so much. Czech food is basically the same, so I was glad they weren't dead set on Czech food. Plus, who can resist a good burrito?
That afternoon, we headed to Jewish ghetto which was super interesting. Mike Hogan and I didn't do that last time, so I was glad to add something new to our itinerary. The main attraction of the Jewish ghetto is the cemetery where they think over 100,000 bodies are buried, but there are also six synagogues you can go in and there is all sorts of Jewish history throughout. While there was almost too much information (a trend we've noticed in European museums), we all learned a lot about Jewish history. It's definitely worth an afternoon if you're in Prague.
We retired to the hotel for a little nap and happy hour in the lounge before heading out to watch the Ravens' game at an Irish pub. How's that for cross cultural? Eating at an Irish Pub in the Czech Republic while watching American football. It was a great way to end our first full day in Prague and we went to bed with tired feet and happy hearts. It's fun having your friends visit. Really fun.

When I was a kid, growing up we've always had a dog and up until 7 years ago? (I am so terrible with time) I've had a dog in my adult life as well. The kids have been asking for another for quite some time now and I've been putting it off. Well, I finally broke. Maybe it was the fact that I felt guilty cuz I told them we MAYBE we could get one after I got back from our Grand Canyon run, maybe it was that I really wanted one. Whatever the case may be — I love our new pooch and am so glad that I caved.
I had an idea of the kind of dog I wanted us to get, the kids did too. Although their requirement was; it had to be cute. My requirement was a little more particular. I wanted a dog that I could run with and I don't mean 5-10k's. I wanted a dog that, after properly trained could run a 50k plus with me! So we started checking all the local shelters and some not so local ones. There were so many dogs that needed adopted and it was so hard not to just adopt the first few we found.
After a while of searching we thought we finally found one. It was in a kennel just over an hour away. He was a Blue Tick Coon Hound and would've fit perfectly with our family. I visited him, told the shelter about our house, our cat and played with the dog for about 20-30min. I thought it was a good fit, so I told the kids about him and a couple days later we drove back down to visit. I again told the kennel about our house and cat and we played with the dog outside for about 45min. I asked the kids if they wanted to take him home and they said, "YES!!" So we went inside to fill out all the papers. I filled them out and the kids played with the dog through the glass door he was behind. It was then when one of the workers noticed our form and quickly came over to let us know we couldn't take him home because he wasn't good with cats! I was kinda pissed and the kids a little heartbroken. But as I keep saying — everything in my life seems to happen for a reason.
So our search continued. One night I was on our local "Buy/Sell/Trade" Facebook pages and came across a post from a family that had to get rid of one of their dogs. I checked out the pictures and their description. Many people that are getting rid of dogs on those sites get harassed about doing so and a few quite deserving so because it seems they are trying to make a buck or are basically a "puppy mill". Not this family. They adopted two puppies from the same litter and as the dogs got older they began to experience "litter-mate syndrome". I've never even heard of that before, but apparently male dogs from the same litter will become combative and fight. Which is what they were doing. It was obvious that this family loved these dogs. They've already had them fixed, put them through obedience training, had an invisible fence, plus their kids loved them. They didn't want any money for the dog, they just wanted to find it a good home.
I showed the kids the pictures of the dogs and submitted our "resume", telling them about our family, our home, and how we would love to come meet them.
We scheduled a time to come meet Cato and Finn and at this time weren't sure which one they were going to part with. When we got there the kids and I were so hoping it was going to be Cato. Not that Finn wasn't cute or playful, but it was something about Cato. Maybe it was his two different colored eyes but when they said it was Cato that they were willing to part with before we even said anything — I had a feeling he was going to be ours.
The kids played with the dogs for a little while, while I chatted with their current owners (Joe and Lisa). Well… long story short (yeah right, huh? Too late.) We took Cato home. Their kids were pretty sad to see him go, but I think since they knew he was going to a good home they were able to deal with it easier. Not to mention that I'm now Facebook friends with Joe and Lisa and their kids are Instagram friends with Jeremy and Emily so they'll be able to see what Cato is up to. Plus we suggested meeting up from time to time with them at the dog park for visits.
Well… without further ado. Let the barrage of photos begin — say hello to CATO!!!!!
Cato is an amazing puppy. Well behaved (except maybe barks a little too much), attentive, obedient (as much as a puppy could be) and is turning into quite the runner! I've started him out slow. First with just a few miles building him up to where he is now — 10miles. He won't be a year old till the end of March so I'm not going to let him go any further till after he's one and gets a check up. Properly trained, he should have no problem busting out a 50k with me!
I'll end this post with a quick little video of Cato testing out one of his new harnesses. Such a well behaved dog – love him and yet again, proving what I always say — Everything happens for a reason. More exciting news along those lines later, very exciting happenings!!

I love this! Such a great collection of quotes.
Love this list of about me quotes. Especially the "I'm so old (taking photos) line. We sometimes take ourseves to serious. This article is a good antidote for this.
oh that´s awesome!!!
Haha. That's such an Awesome collection!
Most of them were cute and/or funny, but some had real deep meanings.
And when saw the I "literally" have your back picture, I was thinking, pictures actually are so much more powerful than words. Not only can can add meaning to words, they have the potential of completely changing the meaning along with the context.
Great post, thanks a lot for sharing this.

I so love these!

As long as you are comfortable in your own skin and be the best you are in life, no one can pull you down. There is a lot to be said for believing in yourself. Cheers! Have a great day! : )

In addition to the traditional repertoire from early Austrian composers Franz Schubert and Johann Strauss II, English composers Henry Purcell and Thomas Weelkes and French composers Georges Bizet and Frances Poulenc, the concert will feature modern pop music selections from countries like Italy, Saudi Arabia, Austria, India, China, Japan, Ireland and the United States.
"They are highly trained and highly skilled musicians," Dee Billia, director of external relations of SOPAC, said about the young allboys choir. "It's a wonderful way to have a multi-generational performance."
According to SOPAC's official website, the inspiration for a wide variety of music and the choir's modernization was developed by Gerald Wirth, who became the artistic director of the Vienna Boys' Choir in 2001.
Although he is "keenly aware of the choir's rich tradition" which dates back over 500 years, Wirth "explores new ways to create and make music."
While the choir's music selections vary, their name has not changed since its creation in 1498.
The performance at SOPAC is regionally exclusive and is the Vienna Boys' Choir's only performance in New Jersey this year. The choir is currently on an international tour in Europe, Asia, Australia and the Americas until the end of the autumn.
As far as the level of excitement about the group's first performance at SOPAC, Billia said that the public has responded well so far.
"They are very well-known across generations," Billia added. "People who love choral music will truly enjoy this."
It is not certain if there would be any future collaborations or performances with the Vienna Boys' Choir so Billia recommends that if anyone want to see their concert, Oct. 11 would be the day to do it.
