- A member of parliament from Kilifi county accepted to drink brown water fetched from a drying well
- The bottle had apparently been placed on the table of dignitaries during an event, for the leaders to see how locals were suffering with water shortage issues
An MP from Kilifi surprised Devolution Cabinet Secretary Mwangi Kiunjuri and his constituents after taking soiled water from a drying well during an event on Wednesday, August 3, 2016.
Magarini MP Harrison Kombe sipped the water to show solidarity with his people, after it was passed on to him by area Member of County Assembly (MCA) Renson Kambi.

The bottle had reportedly been placed at the high table by a local of Mulunguni area, for the dignitaries to see the difficult situation on the ground, as the area has in recent times been hit by hunger and water shortage.
The MCA then opted to take water and refused mineral water served to him, before giving Kombe to also drink it, to the surprise of the crowd.
When it was passed on to him, the legislator apparently had no qualms to take the water, which was said to have been fetched from one of the few remaining wells that residents share with livestock.
CS Kiunjuri upon seeing the plight of the residents pledged that he would see to it they get clean drinking water.
MP Kombe applauded the promise, saying he will ensure two water projects are soon launched in the area.

Sophomore infielder Dalton Maxwell collected three hits and drove in four runs and the Menlo College baseball team beat host William Jessup, 14-4, in a nonconference baseball game Tuesday in Rocklin.
Senior Dean Aliamus added three hits for the Oaks (9-1), who have won nine in a row since dropping its season opener.
Menlo hosts NAIA No. 8 Westmont in a three-game series beginning with a single game Friday at 2 p.m., followed by a Saturday doubleheader, starting at 11 a.m.
The Oaks are 10-15 all-time against the Warriors (6-0), but have won the last two.
Zechariah Jarrad, one of nine pitchers used by Menlo, earned the win with 1 2/3 innings of relief.
The Oaks scored five times in the top of the third, with Julian Jarrard hitting a two-run home run in support of his younger brother and Joe Gillete adding a two-run double. Maxwell also drove in a run.
Maxwell added a three-run homer during a even-run outburst in the eight.
Jordan Getzelman and Reed Kienle each added two hits.

If you put away your smartphone and tablet before you start studying and reach for them when you need a break, you're doing it wrong. Schools all over the globe are introducing mobile devices into the classroom, and according to the U.S. Department of Education, technology-based learning can significantly reduce the amount of time it takes you to absorb new information. At this point, the question is not whether you should load some educational apps on your devices, it's "Why haven't you yet?"
Make a Note of It
Note-taking apps are everywhere and your smartphone and tablet most likely come with a stock one. If you're a student though, you will likely benefit from an advanced note-taking app with multimedia and sync capabilities, says Alexander Klimentov, teacher of mathematics at Brighton College, UK. "You can sync your notes across multiple devices or include media files into your notes—from taking a photo of the board to recording an entire lecture." Before showing up to class with just your smartphone or tablet though, you should check whether using these devices is allowed by your school. "Many educational institutions frown on or outright forbid the use of digital equipment during lessons or lectures," says Klimentov, "so you should only do so after obtaining permission from your professor or teacher."
If your device is OK'd by your school, you're good to go. Unless your device has a built-in keyboard, consider buying a Bluetooth keyboard or a keyboard case for it. Handwriting notes, Klimentov says, can still work better than typing them up, since it stimulates your memory and enhances your ability to recall the material in the future. As an alternative, some note-taking apps allow you to handwrite your notes using a stylus, which Klimentov sees as the perfect middle ground.
Even if you take notes by hand, you can always digitize them later, either by snapping pictures of them with your smartphone or tablet's camera or by using a scanner, and add them to the app. That way, you can revise whenever you have a free moment, since you'll have your notes always on hand.
Your Time, Simplified
Assignments, tests, classes, study hours, extracurricular activities—a busy student needs a way to keep track of everything. In the past, you would use a paper diary but when apps can do the same, why bother? Your smartphone and tablet likely have a basic calendar app that will serve you quite well to begin with; depending on your preference, you could also add assignments as calendar events or use a to-do list app instead.
If after a bit of using the default apps you find yourself wishing for more features, research all-in-one apps that combine both calendar and to-do list functionality, especially those designed with students in mind, and make a decision based on your specific needs. "However, don't go overboard when engaging in the app arms race with your classmates," says Klimentov. "The full-featured app that works perfectly for them may be too complex for your liking, with its endless features largely going unused and threatening to drown you in pointless minutiae. You must decide what works for you using your own better judgment."
Take a Load Off Your Back
Regularly carrying heavy textbooks around can result in back injury, especially if you use a messenger bag rather than a backpack or carry your backpack on only one shoulder. Technology provides a simple answer to that issue. Nowadays, many textbooks are available in an e-book version. Loading them on an e-reader app on your tablet or smartphone, drastically reduces the weight you're carrying around.
Furthermore, digital textbooks often include additional material that would be difficult or impossible to include in a paper version, such as videos or interactive pages. If nothing else, e-book reader apps frequently include a summary of your highlighted passages and any notes you may have made for each textbook, making it much easier to track down facts when revising.
E-book versions of textbooks are also frequently cheaper than the paper version and you may even be able to simply rent them for a fraction of the price. A lot of the classic books you would be studying in English class are readily available as free e-books you can load on your tablet or smartphone, since they are in the public domain.
Learn, Expand, Revise
No matter what you're trying to learn and at what level, there's probably an app for it. Educational offerings run the gamut from dictionaries and atlases to specialized apps that explore a single subject in depth; you can also find apps that make it possible for you to create custom flashcards and other revision material. These apps can make revising both easier and more engaging—not to mention having them on hand means you can study whenever you have a free moment, no matter where you are.
"Relying on them exclusively and forgoing all other resources is, however, dangerous" says Klimentov. "You should always ensure the app contains all relevant material for each topic covered in the syllabus. If you have any doubts, consult your professor or teacher to confirm that the app you're considering is suitable for your course." The same goes for specialized apps that replace stand-alone devices, such as calculators or ones that simplify repetitive tasks, such as putting together bibliographies. Always check whether their use is allowed and whether the results they provide are correct.

I dunno, man. The fact that you've posted your picture on here asking women to rate you shows a lack of confidence, which a lot of women won't like. That's probably the reason your polls are 'poor', so don't pay attention to that poll.
But you look fine, I suppose. Not fat, not dirty, and you look like you have money, so that's a ++ for chicks in RL - but not here. lol
He looks well
Can i rate the girl's body? :P

Will playing this game expand my imagination?
When you are in a dull moment, you wouldn't be able to expand your imagination because there is nothing for your imagination to expand to. That is why there is a game that can help you expand your imagination and bring joy to your life and that game is called sim city build it where you let your imagination run wild because it is your decision and your idea that can make the game for fun to play. There is nothing that this game can't do for your imagination and your entertainment.
When you play the simcity build it game, there will be a lot of things that you will look forward to. Imagine that the vacant land at the beginning of the game will be a blank canvas and it is up to you to how creative you can be. There will be no one to tell you what to do because everything is in your decision and imagination. This game will let you think that you are building your world, but literally, you are building your city which is still the kind of the same. Your imagination can go beyond limits because if you wanted to you can build church or restaurants in areas you want. You can even play this through simcity buildit Hack for Android or with the simcitybuildit IOS whichever software you have you can still play the game there is no limit when you play the game.
Has SimCity BuildIt any limits?
The only limit that this has is through your imagination because if you are not creative, then the idea of fun of building your city would be hard for you. Though there are things that the simcitybuildit game can offer that can expand more of your imagination because there is a variety of how you play it like future building, forest making or near to a bridge. Your imagination will enjoy this game because you can be creative and the road can go wherever it is you want it to be. Simcitybuildit Android and the simcitybuildit IOS can even make sure that you are still being imaginative when you are waiting for the bus or just chilling in a restaurant because the game can be played on any Android tablet or phone and in any IOS tablet or phone. Your imagination will be expanded because of this SimCity BuildIt game.
There will never come a time where your imagination will not be used when you play the game because your imagination is the key to improving the structure of the game. You will be amazed that you might even apply the idea of creating your city with the city you have because now you have an idea about structure and where certain buildings and companies should be located for the benefit of the people as well as roads. This game can let you see the fun of creating and organizing and expanding your imagination.

Cabinet Simulator, Power Soak, D.-I.
The Cabulator combines three main features for e-guitar amplifiers: power soak, speaker simulation, and D.I. output.
Thanks to the variable power soak you can play any amp loud without being loud – with headphones even inaudible if necessary.
The Cabulator's fully analog design excludes latencies. It thereby gives the guitarist a direct response with an authentic punch. Even the most subtle guitar amp nuances are reproduced as precisely as harmonics structures and dynamic response of a cabinet.
You always get a top signal in recording quality in seconds – both for direct recording and for a live mix.

Opening day in Boston is a spring ritual that nears the holiness of a high religious holiday. But this year opening day will be missing its patron saint. David Ortiz, a.k.a. Big Papi, has retired. After an extraordinary career spanning decades, Ortiz is now enjoying the retirement years that many of us plan and long for. Or is he?
It turns out Big Papi is a #retirementrookie, a term skillfully coined by John Hancock as part of a campaign featuring Ortiz. On Twitter and other platforms, Big Papi is portrayed as collecting ideas for how to fill his retirement years. The Red Sox legend doesn't know what to do with the post-playing decades ahead of him. Forbes reports that Big Papi earned $22 million in 2016, making it unlikely that he will be scrounging for his next Fenway Frank in life after work. It would appear, however, that having your finances set may not be all it takes to be retirement-ready.
As AgeLab Director Joe Coughlin writes, we, like the Red Sox legend, are all #retirementrookies. Read the full article here.

Over the last couple of days I have come across a couple articles on the ways in which spirituality has been commercialized. Whilst I am sure those who have developed spirituality programs for use in business have had good intentions, it seems that the essence has been lost in the process.
The real problem is that at the heart of any spirituality of substance is a paradox which holds both the real giftedness of the individual and the capacity for destruction in tension. This means that when we are riding high on success we are able to recognise that the success is only partly attributable to our efforts – success is always a combination of hard work and serendipity. It also means that when we face circumstances of suffering that we are able to see that again, we are only partly responsible.
Suffering is one of the great conundrums – in Christianity we have no theological argument which can contain suffering, all we have is the image of Jesus on the cross. We have no explanation for why suffering exists that can really comfort us when we are in the midst of such circumstances.
We find the spiritualities of success so alluring. The popularity of the book The Secret a few years ago is one such example. The idea that we can create our own reality, that someone we are in charge of our destiny, if we can just think right is so appealing. (In Christianity, the prosperity gospel is very similar). When things are going well, these ideologies are so provocative and feed into our ego – Look at how well we are doing, we have got it right. And it feels like we are in control.
But when things go wrong, like losing your job or cancer or an unexpected loss, we have no place to turn because we think it is all up to us. And if that were not sufficiently confusing in itself, we discover that our companions who shared our way of thinking now no longer know what to say, and don't want to be associated with the negativity our new position. Fearful of being tainted, they shy away.
When we are able to sit with suffering in a place of compassionate care we often discover that the suffering isn't entirely from nowhere, but it also is not usually entirely our fault. There are elements of personal responsibility and elements of this simply being a part of life. We need a spirituality which can help us pick through the rubble effectively.
Any spirituality which emphasises success rather than compassion will be toxic in the long run because such a spirituality will not have the capacity to cope with suffering.

Find joy in other people's joy. – How to prevent petty jealousy in children
Do you ever hear your children putting each other down or diminishing each other's accomplishments? With four kids, this inevitably happens in our house. Ever seen something like this?
Our 5-year-old was learning to ride his bike and his sister (who is 4 years older) said, "That's so easy. Look how well I can ride!"
Or our 13-year-old said she's going to take advanced math next year and her older brother snidely quipped, "I already took AP math last year."
Why do they need to put each other down? As a parent you are proud of both of them individually. Feeling joy for one child doesn't mean you have less joy for the other. But the kids don't necessarily see it that way. Why do they treat each other without respect and kindness?
Kids aren't born knowing that there's plenty of love to go around. They seem to think love is a scarce resource and they'd better be sure to get their share. Combine that with the fact that children live in the now—and seem to forget the love and praise they received days, if not moments earlier—and you have the potential for a lot of jealousy and disrespect amongst siblings.
"When you take joy in other people's joy, your happiness is limitless."
The other day, another one of these situations came up and I took my younger daughter aside. Knowing there's nothing like a little drama to get her attention, I whispered to her, "Lean in close. I have a secret for you. It's the secret to having unlimited happiness and love in your life." At this point, she raised her eyebrow and said something like, "Mom, you are so weird sometimes." But she didn't turn away.
Continuing with my pseudo-guru act, I told her:
"You feel joy when you do something cool, right? But when your brother does something cool, you feel kind of bad. Why? When he does something cool, it doesn't take anything away from your accomplishments. When you did something cool, we were excited for you. We shared your joy. What if you shared in your brother's joy? You'd have two moments of joy instead of one! "
She hadn't moved, and looked like she was thinking… so I kept going.
"There's always enough love to go around. What if one moment he and I were especially happy for you, and in another you and I were especially happy for him? If you were happy every time something good happened, no matter which of you it was for, you'd be happy twice as often. Now what if you shared in my joy? Your friend's joy? Everyone's joy? Think how often you'd be happy."
She still had her eyebrow raised; but even when you think they aren't listening, they are. I let it sink in and went on about my day.
Living joy everyday
There is no limit to the situations in which we now use the phrase, "Find joy in his/her joy".
When it's one child's birthday and the other's jealous of the presents: "Find joy in her joy and know you can play together later."
When my son learned new math facts: "Find joy in his joy. We're on the same team and your teammate just learned a new skill."
When they dreaded going to the antique fair with grandma: "She shared your joy at your soccer game last week. All she could do was stand around. Sounds boring, right? But it wasn't boring because she shared how much fun you were having playing. Now you can look at her face and know she is enjoying herself. Who knows, she might show you something interesting in all these antiques!"
By the way, we did find something interesting at the antique fair… turns out the Holly Hobby lunch box I had as a kid now sells at antique fairs. I guess I can tell my daughter I'm not weird, I'm just old. Now if you want some sage advice from creatures far older and wiser than I, check out the Talking with Trees book series for kids that teaches lessons in honesty, respect, responsibility, and forgiveness through real situations kids can relate to. Find them at TalkingTreeBooks.com.

Here's a hot tip, boys and girls: never try to normalize your data using text fields as your primary identifier. The computer won't know that "Some Company, Inc" is supposed to be the same as "Some Company, Inc." or "Some Company Inc"; likewise, "Department" is not the same as "Dept." is not the same as "Dept" even if they represent the same entity – and the programmer will hate you when they also have to investigate manually find out that "SomeOtherCompany 2000, Inc" is different from "SomeOtherCompany2000, Inc".
No, really. They will. Upper-case-H-A-T-E, hate you.

Info concerning Criswell College astronomy, and registering for elective lectures and seminars. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. You may be surprised that you can enroll for a full-time course load, without having to attend any 8am classes at all. Finally, check with the admissions office for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Criswell College aerospace engineering information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Criswell College.
Aerospace engineers may design aircraft, space vehicles, satellites, and missile systems. In addition, they test prototypes to make sure that they function according to design. Aerospace engineers are employed in building, analysis and design of commercial aircraft, missile systems for national defense, or spaceships. Aerospace engineers are employed primarily in manufacturing, research and development, and must have a bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering or another related field. In addition, aerospace engineers that work on projects that are related to national defense will need a security clearance.
Aerospace operations technicians and mechanics need only an associates degree to begin working. They must maintain equipment used in developing and testing new aircraft and spacecraft. Increasingly, these workers must be able to use computer-based modeling (CAD) and simulation tools in their work. Certification is offered by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Both companies and the FAA seek to ensure the highest standards for the safety of the aircraft. In fact, SpaceTEC, the National Science Foundation Center for Aerospace Technical Education, coordinates a nationwide program through community and technical colleges to help students prepare for certification. The median annual wage for aerospace engineers with a bachelor's degree was $107,830, while aircraft technicians and mechanics holding an associate's degree earned $66,180, as of May 2017. Beyond degree requirements such as Criswell College online classes, you may consider Mountain View College connections for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Washington, D.C.—The National Council of Farmer Cooperatives today expressed its strong opposition to a proposed amendment to the House Agriculture Committee farm bill that would change key components of the dairy reform package contained in the bill.
The amendment, offered by Representatives Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) and David Scott (D-Ga.), would effectively separate participation in the market stabilization program from other parts of the dairy program contained in the Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management (FARRM) Act.
"These dairy reforms are the result of years of hard work and consensus-building by dairy farmers, their co-ops and the National Milk Producers Federation; the program, which is entirely voluntary, has been carefully crafted and balanced to meet the needs of producers and consumers," said Chuck Conner, president and CEO of NCFC. "We strongly urge members of the House Agriculture Committee to vote against the Goodlatte-Scott dairy amendment during markup of FARRM tomorrow."

Michigan winters can give anyone cabin fever ! After months of cold weather and feet of snow, the air temperatures warm, spring arrives, and so does the desire to hit the river. Spring steelhead season in Michigan starts with good numbers of steelhead moving into tributaries that flow into Lake Michigan. Rivers such as the Pere Marquette River , Manistee River , and the Muskegon River are some of the best rivers to fish for spring steelhead in Michigan. The 33 miles of Manistee river (fishing report) between Lake Michigan and Tippy Dam (upstream limit for migratory fish from Lake Michigan) has some of the finest steelhead fly fishing in the world and spring is one of the best times to fish it, as spring is the spawning season and all mature steelhead will enter the river to spawn from mid March to early May. Water temps at this time are in the mid – lower 30's, but climbs quickly to the magic 40 degree mark, at which time fish are coming, going, spawning, and the fishing is great!
Spring steelhead have three stages we look for as anglers. The pre-spawn, spawning fish and post spawn. Depending on when each fish enters the river, these cycles overlap each other providing great opportunities for anglers over several months. Water levels, water temp & clarity, and fishing pressure are all conditions that control how long it takes for fish to spawn and leave the river system for another year in the Great Lakes. Patterns such as Hex (Hexagenia Limbata), Stone flies, caddis, leeches, other small mayfly nymphs, eggs, and attractor patterns work well for catching spring steelhead in Michigan. The best steelhead are ones that have just entered the river system and are still feeding before the spawn. Spawning fish feed or take a fly out of aggression or a feeding instinct rather then hunger. Post spawn fish are looking to feed in order to build energy for the journey back to the Great Lakes.
Water levels on the Manistee can rise from the winter flows of 1200-1500 cubic feet per second to as much as 3000 cfs . Because the fish are less active when water temperatures are cool (below 36 degrees) anglers need to work runs and pools thoroughly and methodically, the flies need to bump the fish on the nose it seems like on some days.
In early to mid March fresh runs of dime bright spring steelhead begin to ascend the Manistee River, and the run is on. Water temps usually start creeping up the scale, as does the steelhead's activity. Start looking for fish in the runs and slower pools below spawning gravel areas. Fish the seams located in the slower pockets and slow moving runs to locate spring steelhead. Water conditions in the spring are always on the move with warm days followed by cold days, and water color can be changed quickly by the melting snow. During higher colored water conditions try larger sized eggs, leech patterns, large stones and dark wooly buggers to get the fish's attention. Size 4 and 6 are not too large if the water is high and off colored. Good anglers are willing and able to move to different locations on the river because fish are moving. They won't necessarily be in the same location each day, as they are on a mission to find gravel and spawn.
During the spawning time fish will be throughout the system from Manistee Lake to Tippy Dam. There will be higher concentrations of fish near Tippy Dam (upstream limit.) The good numbers of fish also bring higher concentrations of anglers. Fishing to spawning fish works, but the most aggressive fish are in the dark water near gravel getting ready to step into the spawning mode, and most of the time will feed on your presentation better then spawning fish. These areas will hold the freshest fish in the system, the ones that are more likely to eat a fly. When water levels are dropping fly size should shrink accordingly, as well as the tippet fished. One of my favorite flies this time of year are egg patterns because of the amount of fresh eggs in the water. A size 8 egg is still the most realistic looking egg pattern in size and shape and are available and all kinds of fish will eat it readily. Other proven patterns are: Caddis larva , early black stoneflies , and smaller hex patterns . With the hen steelhead digging the gravel to make their spawning beds, and a good amount of wade traffic on the river bed, lots of caddis and small nymphs are being dislodged and are drifting downstream. This causes the fish to key on this little morsel and not flee from a larger pattern and heavy fishing pressure.
The post spawn fish are the least targeted of the spring steelhead, and yet can provide some great days of spring fishing in Michigan. After the spawning rigors the fish are hungry. Look for these fish throughout the system as they are heading back to the lake, and will eat a fly with authority! This is the time that you are most likely to take a fish on a streamer in the spring, and most drop back steelhead are around in the end of April and into May which can provide some great fishing in some great weather. Keep moving, make a few presentations and then move to the next spot. Most anglers will be gone, trout season is open and the weather is warming. Salmon fry from the fall salmon season the year before will be hatching and steelhead and resident trout will feed heavy on the small salmon throughout the spring season. This is a great time to hunt for big trout and steelhead on the swing with streamers , or drifting baitfish patterns .
Manistee River steelhead are big, strong, hard fighting fish. Whether you pursue them with chuck and duck, strike indicator rigs (Indy rig) or swinging a streamer for spring steelhead in Michigan , they will provide the fly angler with a Michigan spring steelhead experience not soon forgotten!
How to rig for spring steelhead fishing in Michigan
Guided fishing for "Michigan Spring Steelhead" provides the angler with safe and unlimited access to all the pools and runs that the great steelhead rivers of "North West Michigan" have to offer. From fishing the early runs of spring steelhead on the snowy banks of the Pere Marquette river in Michigan during Mid to late March, to fishing the big runs of the Manistee river in April, to fishing the late run of spring steelhead that enter the Muskegon river and fish well until mid May, Michigan spring steelhead season is the best cure for cabin fever in any fisherman's book!
Although the access and wade fishing is good on Michigan rivers, the use of a guide will always provide a safe, exciting educational experience, and put you on the best fishing the river has to offer at that time of year.

Data researchers at Facebook have actually tested 160,000 users and verified some long-held stereotypes about feline individuals versus pet dog individuals
Montagues and Capulets. Edison and Tesla. Crips and bloods. Amongst historys biggest competitions none has actually been so intense as that in between feline individuals and canine individuals.
In honor of International Cat Day, Facebook scientists analyzed the habits of these warring factions to discover some insight into who they are and how they run. The group of information researchers wished to discover who has more good friends, who is most likely to be single and who has the very best taste in TELEVISION.
The stunning findings , drawn from a sample of 160,000 Facebook users in the United States who had actually published photos of canines or felines, are most likely to serve as a driver for more bloodshed in between Team Cat and Team Dog.
One of the essential findings long believed is that feline individuals are most likely to be single than pet dog individuals. Simply 24% of pet dog individuals are single compared to 30% of feline individuals.
However, the old cat-lady spinster stereotype is a misconception: being single is not skewed towards any age or gender.
Dog individuals, like their outbound, waggy-tailed buddies, were discovered to be more popular if appeal is evaluated by the variety of online connections.
Meanwhile, feline individuals get welcomed to more occasions, maybe recommending a more critical pal.
Team Cat aren't just critical about pals: they likewise appear to have the edge when it pertains to selecting books, TELEVISION programs and films a minimum of according to exactly what theyve liked on their Facebook profile. Feline individuals appear to choose The Hobbit, Brave New World, Adventure Time, Doctor Who, A Clockwork Orange and Alien. Canine individuals lean towards trashier subject matter consisting of Fifty Shades of Grey, Step Up, The Hangover, The Hills, Duck Dynasty, Marley &Me and Eat, Pray Love.

Baking soda can do so much more than just sit in the back of your baking cupboard. Who knew that within that bright orange box there was an endless amount of medical, household, and yes, even health and beauty solutions. What makes sodium bicarbonate so awesome? It's non-toxic, it's an anti fungal, an antiseptic and it can gently exfoliate away even the roughest calluses.
Let me share with you some unexpected uses of baking soda you might want to try:
Make Toothpaste. You can make your own toothpaste with baking soda and a 3 percent hydrogen peroxide solution. Or you could also just dip your toothbrush with your regular toothpaste already on it right into baking soda for an extra boost.
Freshen Your Mouth. Add one teaspoon of baking soda into half a glass of water, swish around, spit and then rinse. The baking soda will neutralize the odors, not just covered up.
Soak Your Oral Appliance. You can soak all of your oral appliances (like retainers, mouthpieces or dentures) in a solution of 2 teaspoons baking soda dissolved in a small bowl of warm water. You can also brush appliances clean using baking soda. The baking soda will loosens any food particles and will neutralizes any odors.
Make a Face or Body Scrub. To give yourself an invigorating facial and body scrub you can make a paste of 3 parts baking soda to 1 part water. Rub this paste in a gentle circular motion to exfoliate the skin. Once finished, rinse the area clean. This scrub is gentle enough to use every day.
Use as a Deodorant. You can pat baking soda directly onto your underarms to neutralize body odor.
Treat Itchy Skin. To treat insect bites, make a paste of baking soda and water, and then apply as a salve onto affected area of the skin. To ease an itch, shake some baking soda into your hand and rub it into damp skin after bath or shower.
Use as a Hand Cleanser. You can skip the harsh soaps and gently scrub away ground-in dirt while also neutralizing odors with a paste of 3 parts baking soda to 1 part water (or a gentle liquid hand soap). Then rinse clean as you normally would.
Help For Your Hair. We already know that vinegar is amazing for your hair, but baking soda does have a place in the shower too. You can sprinkle a small amount of baking soda into the palm of your hand right along with your favorite shampoo. Then you can shampoo as normal and rinse thoroughly. The baking soda will help remove the residue build up from styling products so your hair is cleaner and more manageable.
Clean Your Brushes and Combs. Easily remove natural oil build-up plus hair product residue by soaking your combs and brushes in a solution of 1 teaspoon of baking soda in a small container of warm water. Let them sit, and then rinse and dry before using.
Make a Bath Soak. You can instantly create a soothing bath by adding 1/2 cup of baking soda to your regular bath. This will neutralize acids on the skin and help wash away oil and perspiration. It also makes your skin feel very soft. Epsom salts and essential oils are pretty incredible for the bath too.
Soothe Your Feet. Make your feet feel happy by dissolving 3 tablespoons of baking soda into a tub of warm water. Soak feet and gently scrub, then rinse and dry. Your feet will instantly feel happy.
Soften Tough Calluses. To soften the calluses start with the foot bath (above). After a nice long soak, scrub the calluses away by using three parts baking soda, one part water, and one part brown sugar. Rinse and follow with an application of rich moisturizer and a warm towel foot wrap. Let the towel sit on for 5-10 minutes before removing.
Baking soda is already well known for being a main ingredient that's always in your kitchen but it's also one of the most useful (and inexpensive!) ingredients around when it comes to DIY beauty fixes and skin care. So grab a box of baking soda from your kitchen cupboard and let's get ready to see some big beautiful changes!

This easy caramel drizzle cake was so delicious! It smelled good, looked good and tasted good! I jazzed up a boxed white cake mix, with homemade caramel frosting and homemade caramel sauce. I'm wishing I could have another piece of this cake!
I made the cake, caramel sauce and frosting the night before and assembled it, the next morning. First bake your cake. While the cake is baking, let's make the caramel sauce. This caramel sauce needs 4 simple ingredients! Brown sugar, butter, milk and baking soda. Put the ingredients into medium saucepan and cook on med-low, until it thickens. Very simple and so tasty! I was taste testing several spoonfuls.
The caramel sauce will look like this. It will be a dark color because of using all brown sugar. You just want to dip your finger in there and have a taste!
How about a drizzle in your tea? Why, yes of course and thank you!
Now that the caramel sauce is done, it's time to make the easy caramel buttercream frosting. I actually was surprised at how fast this came together. This frosting has a hint of caramel flavor and was really nice to work with. You'll need salted butter, powdered sugar, corn syrup and homemade caramel sauce.
I did this by hand with a whisk. Cream butter and corn syrup. Add sifted powdered sugar, whisk again until creamy. Whisk in the homemade caramel sauce. There all done! You can use immediately or store in fridge. If stored in fridge and ready to use, heat in the microwave for 20 seconds. Check the frosting to see if it's spreadable consistency. That's it. Ready to frost your cake.
Now it's time to assemble the cake. Grab a cake round and place in middle of cake stand and frost.
At this point you want to make a circular well in the middle of the cake. This is to spoon some of the caramel sauce in the middle. Spread the caramel sauce in the well. It will add some extra caramel flavor in every slice you serve!
Now, carefully add the second layer of cake. You really want to get it just right because the cake can crumble if you mess with it too much.
Ok, slightly adjust the cake and finish frosting with remaining caramel frosting.
You can keep cake on counter or store in fridge. Remember this frosting is made with butter and butter melts. So try not to keep cake in direct sunlight or in very hot kitchen. I stored the cake in fridge for 30 minutes and took it to our destination. It was inside a fairly cool kitchen and brought outside in garage. It held up fine.
I did drizzle the caramel sauce right after I frosted the cake. I would recommend waiting to drizzle the caramel sauce. You can drizzle the cake right before serving or drizzle on individual slices.
Here's a picture of the inside of the cake. It really didn't last long, so make sure you get a piece!
- 1 box white cake mix (butter or vanilla cake mix would work too)
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 cup vegetable or canola oil
- 1/4 cup applesauce
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup salted butter (4 Tablespoons)
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup salted butter (room temp- very soft)
- 1 Tablespoon corn syrup
- 4 cups sifted powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup homemade caramel sauce
- **Makes enough to frost 2 - 8 inch round cakes**
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two 8 inch round cake pans, set aside.
- Mix all the cake ingredients together until well incorporated.
- Pour cake batter into prepared cake pans. Bake for 25 -32 minutes, or when toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean.
- Allow to completely cool on wired racks.
- Put all caramel sauce ingredients into medium saucepan. Cook on med-low heat and stir occasionally until thickened. A good way to test thickness is to make sure the sauce thickly coats the back of a spoon. You don't want it to just run off of spoon. Once thickened, remove from heat and allow to cool. Can store in fridge when not in use.
- Whisk the room temp butter until nice and creamy. Add the corn syrup and whisk to combine.
- Whisk in sifted powdered sugar, one cup at a time. Continue until powdered sugar is gone.
- Add the homemade caramel sauce. Whisk all together and done.
- You can use caramel buttercream frosting immediately or store in fridge (store in air tight container).
- Follow the ingredients and directions to get the results that I did.
- If storing the frosting in fridge it will harden (butter hardens in fridge). When your ready to use the frosting, just place in microwave for 20 seconds and check if spreadable. If not spreadable, cook for another 10 seconds. Always check if spreadable by stirring . Once your able to spread the frosting it's ready to go.

All the people celebrated in these Otwituaries have, in some way or other, had an effect on me, positive or otherwise...
About Otwituaries
I started tweeting these poetic obituaries via Twitter on the death of Ernest Borgnine in July 2012. After a while a friend asked if I would gather them together, so I have created this blog as an archive. New Otwituaries will appear here as well as being broadcast via Twitter and Facebook.
All the Otwituaries are written very quickly on the day their subjects pass away, so are maybe a little lacking in polish, but they are all from the heart. They represent the people who have, in some way, touched my life - actors, sportsmen and women, TV personalities, writers, musicians and explorers. These people are already immortal, and therefore don't need my help, but I hope you enjoy reading these short poetic sketches all the same.

Dear Mamas,
I am embarrassed to be asking this but I'm really not sure what is appropriate. We have a two-year-old son and I have begun to wonder how much physical affection my husband and I can show each other in front of him. He doesn't sleep in our room or anything but my husband can get kind of frisky at times! I don't want to traumatize him! Does he really get it or am I overreacting?
no name please
Dear No Name,
No need to be shy about this question, it's a great one! And one that parents should take seriously. The short answer is no, you are not overreacting and no, you shouldn't be making out in front of your kids.
We all tend to think that little children are not really tuned in to what we are doing or saying but they see and understand much more than we give them credit for. And that includes awareness that mommy and daddy are acting funny (to them).
Don't get me wrong — I am all for parents expressing love and affection for each other. It's important for kids to see that their parents love each other and can express that love in a physical way. Hugs and kisses, holding hands, sitting close and resting your head on your hubby's shoulders are all wonderful ways to show it.
BUT — there is a world of difference between a kiss that is warm, affectionate and a maybe even a little romantic and one that is passionate and sexual.
When it comes to sexual behavior between parents it can get pretty weird for kids. There is the creepiness factor to consider. Just think for a moment: how you would feel if your parents began to make out in front of you? How would that go down? Would you be comfortable? Or, what if your teenaged daughter began locking lips, moaning and playing tongue twister with her boyfriend while you were all watching Friday Night Lights together? Need I say more?
So why would it be differrent for your own kids? The truth is that it isn't. When children begin to learn the facts of life via "the birds 'n bees talk" they are uniformly horrified to think that they arrived on the planet because their parents "did it"! It takes time for them to accept that, like it or not, their parents are sexual beings. They don't need you reminding them of that fact.
These days kids are being overexposed to overt sexual behavior and sexualized images at alarming rates. Whether it's seen on T.V., the internet or in ads from stores like Aberchrombie and Fitch (practically soft kiddie-porn going on there) it's in their faces constantly. And it is NOT good for them.
You have to be the role model who teaches them how to be in a healthy, loving relationship that is respectful and appropriate. And sexual behavior should be expressed in private.
But I also encourage you to keep the passion alive in your marriage. Once kids come along that can take some planning and patience but it's important to do so. Go on dates, send love notes and flowers and show your spouse that he is still the one who makes your heart beat faster. Just make sure you don't have an audience on hand when you do.
It's also important to teach your children early that mommy and daddy need their privacy, so when the bedroom door is shut they must knock before they barge in. They can understand this by the time they are three. Obviously, this doesn't apply if there is an emergency or they are ill. But they need to learn about boundaries and privacy and it's never too soon to start.
One more thing — for those of you who advocate "the family bed" please remember what you are choosing to give up when you make the decision to share your sleeping space with your children. No messing around allowed! So you will have to be extra clever in finding the appropriate time and the place to "connect" with your honey.
We love getting all of your questions and want to give you everything that our combined brains have to offer. So keep sending them in! But if you are looking for a more personal touch with lots more detail and follow up, please visit us at AskMamaEllen.com and AskDrMama.com. and find out how to get the royal treatment. You deserve it, Mamas!

Last year I had an eye opening experience. I will never forget the moment at the Beachbody Coach's Summit where they were recognizing all the top Beachbody coaches in the company on stage, and instead of being up there with them, I was sitting at the table eating dinner with Tommy Mygrant. Well, we were eating dinner until the point where shame and embarrassment hit both of us like a ton of bricks being slapped upside our heads. At that point we sort of lost our appetites. I thought I was doing great as a Beachbody Coach, but that was when I realized that apparently things weren't as good as I thought they were. I had been a coach for a little over a year and a half, and things were beginning to really pick up for me, thanks to the Game Plan Event I attended in January, but they still weren't where they needed to be, or better, where I wanted them to be. Tommy and I looked at each other, and we didn't even have to say anything because we knew exactly what each other was thinking. That was the point where things changed for the both of us. And then the Top Beachbody Coach came out to accept his award, and my stomach sunk even lower. I couldn't even imagine how great of a feeling that must be to stand up there and be recognized as the #1 coach in the entire network! Suddenly, I began visualizing myself up there, being that Top Coach, feeling that sense of pride and accomplishment that comes along with it, and for the remainder of the year, I didn't allow that visualization and feeling to fade away.
After I got back from the Summit, I immediately began to change things. The first thing that I did was create new goals for myself, mainly become Top Beachbody Coach 2010. I wrote it down on a huge dry erase board and hung it in my living room so that every day I would see that goal, and remember everything that I needed to do to work towards it. That visualization allowed me to stay focused. Plus, seeing it every day constantly brought back that visualization of being up on stage, receiving the Top Coach belt, and it created this burning desire to be there next year.
As months passed, I saw my business begin to absolutely explode. I began focusing more time on the coaches on my team, training them on how to build a successful business, began communicating better with the people I coach, started winning monthly and quarterly contests, stayed in contact with Tommy, my new success partner, every week, and mostly just stayed focused on improving some aspect of my business every single day. I was driven and highly motivated. Once I get in the zone, good luck trying to knock me out of it! Sure, it caused a little bit of friction between my fiance and I, only because I was so focused and spending so much time working towards my goals, but she understood that achieving Top Beachbody Coach would take some sacrifice, so she was on board with me 100% of the way. She wanted me to win just as much as I did.
When November came, I was in the lead for the Top Coach award, but I still had a few months left. Every morning I would wake up, look at the board, and remind myself that this was crunch time, and if I was going to win the top award in the entire company, I better give it my all every single day. Plus, I was forced to anyways because the #2 person was right on my tail, and one lazy day could put me down in the #2 spot. Also, do you remember that burning desire I had earlier? As the days approached the end of the year, that desire was multiplied by about 100! I would get this feeling in my stomach, an anxious and almost nervous feeling that just seemed to get worse as each day passed. My goal of winning Top Coach was so close, but yet so far away at the same time. When December arrived, I hit hyper drive and never looked back. I had worked so hard during the year that there was no way I was coming in 2nd. Now, that visualization of winning that award and being on stage practically haunted me day in day out, and it's all I could think about! 3 more weeks. 2 more weeks. 1 more week and then I could finally relax. When the ball dropped in Times Square, all I could do from that point on was wait until I heard the official results. A few days later, Carl Daikeler, the CEO of Beachbody, called to congratulate me for winning Top Beachbody Coach 2010 out of over 50,000 coaches.
What's the point of this story? Hopefully you picked up on it, but when you constantly visualize success, there isn't much that is going to stop you from getting there. If you have a goal of losing 100 lbs, visualize yourself being 100 lbs lighter, receiving all the compliments from others and feeling that sense of accomplishment, and knowing that you are going to be around longer and be more active longer because you just made a positive change in your health. If you want to win a contest that is being held at your work, maybe for a trip to an exotic location, visualize you and your family being at that spot, sitting on the beach, relaxing, maybe with a Pina Colada in your hand, and enjoying your well earned vacation. If you want to get away from your job and become your own boss, being in control of your future, visualize it! Once you have that mental picture and experience those feelings of being in that position, there isn't anything that's going to stop you other than yourself.

Global Access Davao marked its first year of success and serving the community last March 16, 2016. It is hard to believe it's been a year already. Our celebration was simple and festive which is intended to celebrate our customer's loyalty over the past year. Together with our community partners, we had a simple parade on roads leading to Magallanes Street. Kuya Juan waved, danced and entertained the crowd especially the kids and the kids at heart while promoting Global Access Davao.
In the early morning of March 16th, the main districts of the city had a grand parade of contingents in line with the celebration of the 79th Araw ng Dabaw. The event was uplifting as it was graced by different Barangay's representatives and Globe representatives. Of course our mascot " Kuya Juan " joined the festivities as he walked through the crowded streets and welcomed him with loud cheers along the contingents. As a treat, everybody was treated to FREE ICE CREAM as mascot fans filled the branch when the Free Ice Cream treat was announced. Customers who celebrated with us left heartwarming messages and wishes for Global Access on our Anniversary wall. These messages served as an inspiration for us to provide quality customer service.
This celebration was indeed memorable for us and the whole team. We ended the day with a thanksgiving prayer and showed significant photos of our activities for the past year.
We can't wait to see what our second year in business brings us.

To end the night, the face of Global Access was then introduced "Kuya Juan" symbolizing every Filipino family and Filipinos working abroad. The Global Access jingle and MTV "Kasama Mo, Kaagapay Mo" premiered also giving the audience the priviledge of seeing it for the first time. Indeed it was a night of camaraderie and good fun.

Kisumu County Commissioner Mohammed Maalim has said the government has put in place early warning systems to ensure the August 8 polls are conducted in a peaceful manner.
Maalim said the County Security team has opened a security command centre at the Kisumu Central Police Station and unveiled two toll free lines to enable members of the public to report any criminal activities.
Speaking on Thursday when he unveiled a new division at Central Nyakach, in Nyakach sub-county, Maalim said the hotlines, 0740967358 (Safaricom) and 0775919454 (Telkom) will enable the public to volunteer information to security agencies.
He said this will help forestall any criminal activity as the country heads to the General Election.
Maalim cautioned political leaders against inciting members of the public, saying security officers will deal firmly with any acts of lawless, before, during and after the general election.
We want you to show commitment for peace by actively informing us on what is happening so that we have peaceful election he said.
The administrator singled out an incident late last June in which the public alerted him about a group of armed youth who intended to disrupt a political rally at Rabour at which candidate for Kisumu's senatorial seat Fred Outa was launching his bid.
We were able to lay a roadblock and arrested 27 youth armed with machetes and even bhang before they reached the venue he added.
Maalim singled out cattle theft as a major security threat in the area, he expressed optimism that the new administration will curb the menace.
Maalim said the government, through a Kenya Gazette notice dated 21stJune had created five new divisions, seven new locations and another 16 sub-locations in Kisumu County to take services closer to the people.
The divisions are Nyakach Central, Holo, Kisumu Central, Kolwa and Kajulu.

Charges withdrawn against Chinese man accused of operating £200k cannabis farm in Belfast
All charges have been withdrawn against a Chinese man who was accused of operating a £200,000 cannabis farm in Belfast.
Li Guang Liu is now set to be deported following the decision to halt his prosecution over the alleged drugs-growing racket.
The 50-year-old had been accused following a DNA match with a cigarette butt found near the factory uncovered in two adjoining houses at Broadway in the south of the city.
Police seized a total of 422 plants from the properties during a raid in June last year.
Liu, with an address at Hughenden Avenue in Belfast, faced charges of cultivating cannabis, possessing and conspiracy to supply Class B drugs, and dishonestly using electricity.
Last week Belfast Magistrates' Court was told more than £10,000 worth of electricity had been extracted.
A wall between the two houses had been knocked through, with cannabis located in both properties.
It was confirmed by police that the drugs seized have an estimated street value of £200,000.
Liu was interviewed and then charged following a forensic process carried out on the butt found at the scene.
Defence counsel Declan Quinn had challenged the evidence used to formally connect his client to the charges.
The barrister argued that when the cannabis was seized Liu had been in custody for up to five weeks on other matters.
He claimed the height of the evidence was a forensic link to a cigarette in one of the properties which must have been smoked at least a month before the cannabis was found.
Based on the date of the alleged crimes, he contended, the accused should be discharged.
It was also disclosed that Liu had been due for voluntary deportation back to China in August.
A second hearing earlier this week was due to decide if he could be granted bail.
But the Courts Service today confirmed that all charges were withdrawn at that stage.

Finding Neverland
Oct 3 - 8 , 2017 · BELK THEATER at Blumenthal Performing Arts Center
Tickets begin at $25
Presented by: Blumenthal Performing Arts
Broadway's biggest new hit and the winner of Broadway.com's Audience Choice Award for Best Musical, this breathtaking smash "captures the kid-at-heart," says TIME Magazine. Vogue cheers, "It's a must-see you'll remember for years to come!" Directed by visionary Tony®-winner Diane Paulus and based on the critically-acclaimed Academy Award® winning film starring Johnny Depp, FINDING NEVERLAND tells the incredible story behind one of the world's most beloved characters: Peter Pan. Playwright J.M. Barrie struggles to find inspiration until he meets four young brothers and their beautiful widowed mother. Spellbound by the boys' enchanting make-believe adventures, he sets out to write a play that will astound London theatergoers. With a little bit of pixie dust and a lot of faith, Barrie takes this monumental leap, leaving his old world behind for Neverland, where nothing is impossible and the wonder of childhood lasts forever. The magic of Barrie's classic tale springs spectacularly to life in this heartwarming theatrical event. FINDING NEVERLAND is "far and away the best musical of the year!" (NPR).

Encoding and decoding of information
Method and system for weighting the amplitude of an event in a time -based code. The time-based code is divided into time intervals. Each of the time intervals of the time-based code corresponds to a digit in the received signal. Each digit of a first state of the received signal is expressed as a event occurring at a first time within the corresponding time interval of the time -based code. Each digit of a second state of the received signal is expressed as an event occurring at a second time within the corresponding time intervals of the time -based code, the first time is distinguishable from the second time. All of the states of the digits in the received signal are represented by events in the time-based code. The weighting is performed as a function of the timing of other events in the time-based code signal.

PCMark05 consists of a series of synthetic benchmark suites, each designed to test an individual subsystem, such as memory, processor, and hard drive. The test auto-detects which CPU you're using and loads dynamic libraries optimized for the processor under test for each function. So an Athlon 64 would run code tweaked to run best on its architecture, while a P4 running the same test would run different code optimized for that processor. Many of the tests are small enough to fit into the large L2 caches of modern processors, so those with higher clock speeds have an advantage. It's an idealized view of performance. In the real world, application optimizations can vary widely.
FutureMark's most recent 3D benchmark, 3DMark06 is the only synthetic 3D benchmark we use to judge video card and system performance. That is, it's the only test we use that isn't an actual game. Though it doesn't exactly mimic the workload of games (current or future), it really gives the cards a good workout with game-like graphics and it's a decent metric of overall relative graphics performance.
Leading PCMark and 3DMark scores? Nah, not really. Quad-core CPUs simply help a lot with these benchmarks, and VoodooPC opted for a massively overclocked dual-core CPU. We'll see how that pays off in the next page. Not that these scores are bad, mind you—and the PCMark memory sub-score is the best of the bunch. Continued…
