Frankfurt is the business and financial center of Germany... The city is known for its futuristic skyline and the biggest German airport. Located on the river Main, Frankfurt is the financial capital of Continental Europe and the transportation centre of Germany. Frankfurt is home of the European Central Bank and the German Stock Exchange.
-- WikiTravel
After spending a week in Switzerland, I took a high speed train from Zurich back to Frankfurt (with a change over in Basel). This time I was actually going to spend a couple of days here and was going to couchsurf with Chris, whom I helped with some info during his layover in Kiev a few weeks before. I picked up a two-day transportation pass at the tourist info center, grabbed some Chinese takeout at the main train station and after a short ride on the U was at Chris'. We hit it off pretty well right away, sharing our experiences traveling in Switzerland and eastern Europe, checking out Chris' pictures of climbing a mountain in Switzerland while being surrounded in clouds, and swapping our skydiving videos.
The next day we were up at 6 as Chris had to be at work early. As we left, I took the U back to the main train station hoping to get some breakfast there while waiting for a Regus office to open so I can jump on the Internet and plan my next part of the trip in Africa as well as look up some things to do in Frankfurt. After spending a week in Switzerland, I could not shake off the feeling that Frankfurt was very cheap! 1.90 euro for an expresso versus 5 franks? Make it a double! Another random observation I made while sitting at the train station and taking advantage of the free Starbucks WiFi - even beggars spoke good English in Frankfurt.
Once 8am hit, I got on my way to the Regus office located at the Messeturm in the heart of financial district. It was a bit confusing and frustrating getting to it from the U station of the same name, but I have finally made it up to the 25th floor and settled into a standard business lounge just to find out that their WiFi did not work with Macs or iPhones for some reason. Luckily, there was another Regus office in a tower next to Messeturm so I walked over there and spend the next few hours working on my South African itinerary. Their facilities were not as nice - the business lounge was just two chairs and a computer terminal at the reception area, but they made up for it with good selection of free coffee beverages (hot chocolate with a double shot espresso, anyone?).
Eventually, my stomach would not take another shot of espresso as an excuse for lunch so I left and walked down Dusseldorferstrasse, past the train station, to the Main riverfront. Even after all the espresso shots, I felt pretty tired, so I got a little nap on one of the benches along the riverwalk before continuing my journey past the few of the bridges, then crossed the river via the Eiserner Steg and came back via Alte Brücke to head back into the historic city center. The view from Alte Brücke was pretty interesting - the old buildings contrasting the skyscrapers of the financial center in the background.
I walked past Frankfurter Dom cathedral to the Römer square - the central part of old town. It was very nice and colorful but there was not much else to do so I walked around a bit more looking for some WiFi and found a Starbucks across the road. Soon it started raining so I got inside and spend another hour or so there doing more research on things to do in South Africa and killing time until I needed to head back to Chris'.
We went out to his favorite restaurant where we were joined by Chris' girlfriend and a couple of friends - Tony and Christof. It turned out that Tony has spent a good amount of time in South Africa so he gave me a few more pointers on things to do there and was going to hook me up with some of his friends down there. He was also heading out to Singapore in hopes of getting a job there so we will probably cross our paths there as well. On the other hand, Christof has been planning a trip to New Zealand with some of his friends right around the time I will be there so we may also meet up in the Kiwi-land. All thanks to the few minutes I spent looking up some info for Chris when he posted a question to the couchsurfing group in Kiev. Amazing how it works!
After dinner, we walked around the mall area, but everything was closed by then. I did get to see the weird wormhole-like construction above the main entrance, so that was pretty cool. Back at Chris' place, I packed up all my stuff as we were once again to leave early in the morning. While packing, I decided to get rid of few more clothes so a muscle shirt, a pair of socks and underwear, and a few more miscellaneous things were left behind.
I repeated my morning routine the next day - got some breakfast at the train station while taking advantage of Starbucks' free WiFi. It was getting really cold thou so I could not wait for 8 o'clock to roll around. This time I went to the closest Regus office located at the Skyper Villa - an old (1913) historic building combined with a 154 meter tall office tower in the heart of banking district. They just had a couple of pods set up in the lobby so I did not like it very much as people keept going back and forth and the alarm kept going off on one of the doors for better part of the morning. They did have a decent hot drink selection at the break room though and I found probably the cheapest bakery yet just a few minutes walk away from there on Kaiserstraße.
While there, I have finally gotten the confirmation for my safari trip in South Africa (less than two days away), caught up with my parents via Skype, and then headed out to meet with Mark - a fellow aviation geek. Meeting up by itself was an adventure - since I did not have a phone on me, we agreed to meet at the underground McDonalds at Hauptwache square. For some reason, it did not register for me and I got into my head that it is at the Konstablerwache square so I actually walked to Hauptwache, then walked around to figure out where to catch a U train to Konstablerwache, got to Konstablerwache, walked around underground trying to find the McD's, went up and found on on the plaza, waited there for a while, then finally recognized my mistake, went back down, took the U back to Hauptwache, then walked all over the place there trying to find the McDonalds that I saw previously. Whew! Fortunately, Marc was still patiently waiting for me at the entrance.
We grabbed some late lunch, swung by the train station so I could get my backpack from the storage locker, and headed out to the plane observation area at the airport. We spent a good couple of hours there watching everything from RJs to an A380 arrive and depart. A couple highlights included the line up of all three Lufthansa biggies - the A340, the A380, and the B747 waiting for takeoff as well as the arrival of the French Air Force A330, followed by a Falcon jet bringing French president Nikolas Sarkozy. It was getting pretty cold but we decided to wait until my South African A340 gets towed from the parking stand to the terminal as the taxiway was right in front of us. After what seemed like eternity, and after we were pretty much frozen up, it finally made its way around and we quickly retreated. The butt warmers in Marc's car never felt so good for the brief period that it took us to make it around the airport to the terminal.

Good old summer holidays - you just can't beat them can you? Whether it's a going to the other end of the country or the other side of the world, going away for the summer is always something to look forward to and enjoy as a mid-year break.
Last August my girlfriend and I went on a little holiday to Oslo, the beautiful capital city of Norway. We picked a great time to go - from the day we arrived to the day we left we had sublime summer weather (although not quite ideal when lugging around camera gear!).
For this blog I have decided to split it into two parts; I'm happy with my selection of photos but there's too many to look through in one sitting. So in this part you will see the first full day and a half where we visited the Vigeland Park and Museum, wandered around the city, enjoyed an evening boat tour on the Oslo Fjord and visited the outdoor Folkemuseum.
You might also notice a few of the square black and white photos look different from the other photos - these were taken on film with my Holga camera, giving a different aesthetic to the digital photos.
So kick-back, relax and have a look through my photos:
. . .
So that rounds up part one of my trip to Oslo. Thanks for reading and please leave any thoughts or comments below. If you've had a great holiday recently please share the experience, or if you have one planned where are you going?
I hope you enjoyed these photos and are looking forward to part two (read here). Be sure to subscribe below to find out when the next blog is released.

Keep on, keeping on!
During the last few weeks, whilst I've been writing letters to the Iranian Ambassador and praying earnestly about Iranian Pastor Yousef Nadarkhani's sentence of execution, I read the following
"When it comes to publicly protesting the sentences of death row inmates, celebrity outrage for a convicted cop-killer is off the charts, but a Christian pastor in Iran about to die for his beliefs doesn't even rate a 'tweet'. Urgent protests were made on the part of Troy Davis by celebrities proclaiming his innocence and horrified by his imminent execution: Kim Kardashian, P. Diddy, Russell Simmons, Salman Rushdie and Alec Baldwin were among the many stars who used their substantial platforms like Twitter to raise awareness about the case But the celebrity silence regarding an even more outrageous and clear cut injustice is deafening; at any moment, Iranian Christian pastor Yousef Nadarkhani may be killed because he refuses to renounce his Christianity."
An interesting observation, but it didn't really help me to pray except to ask the Lord to bring Pastor Yousef's situation into the light. And certainly in the last few days, our own Foreign Secretary William Hague and the Bishop of Canterbury strongly condemned the execution, and today I read, headlined in the International Business Times "Safe from Execution, for Now – It appears that Christian pastor Youcef Nadarkhani will avoid the hangman in Iran for the time being." But then it reports Iran as now saying "There has been no execution order."!
So God is answering our prayers, but what a roller coaster ride for Yousef, his wife and two boys.
I've been thinking about Mark 13:13 "Stay with it – that's what is required. Stay with it to the end. You won't be sorry; you'll be saved." This follows on from v.11, where Jesus assures us that when we're arrested and brought to trial, He will give us the words to say. And then urges us to keep going; that such perseverance is a sure indication of being saved. So I've been praying for that perseverance for them, but for me too, and for all of us as we go through our own difficulties, even minor persecutions. And following the same theme in Hebrews too, in the following verses:
Hebrews 3:12-14 So watch your step, friends. Make sure there's no evil unbelief lying around that will trip you up and throw you off course, diverting you from the living God. For as long as it's still God's Today, keep each other on your toes so sin doesn't slow down your reflexes. If we can only keep our grip on the sure thing we started out with, we're in this with Christ for the long haul.
6:9-12 I'm sure that won't happen to you, friends. I have better things in mind for you – salvation things! God doesn't miss anything. He knows perfectly well all the love you've shown him by helping needy Christians, and that you keep at it. And now I want each of you to extend that same intensity toward a full-bodied hope, and keep at it till the finish. Don't drag your feet. Be like those who stay the course with committed faith and then get everything promised to them.
32-36 Remember those early days after you first saw the light? Those were the hard times! Kicked around in public, targets of every kind of abuse – some days it was you, other days your friends. If some friends went to prison, you stuck by them. If some enemies broke in and seized your goods, you let them go with a smile, knowing they couldn't touch your real treasure. Nothing they did bothered you, nothing set you back. So don't throw it all away now. You were sure of yourselves then. It's still a sure thing! But you need to stick it out, staying with God's plan so you'll be there for the promised completion.
Keep on, keeping on!
Luv Susie

The moment Auto Critical gazed upon Auto Somango, love blossomed, and they decided to start a family. And thus, Auto Critical Soma came to light. This lovechild develops fruity aromas—hints of banana, peach, and mango are present. If one's planning to make a canna-fruit punch, this strain could be included to enhance the experience. Auto Critical Soma induces both contemplative and physical highs—a nice well-rounded effect with its 17% THC levels.
Indoor growers will see this strain reach 85–100cm in stature, exactly what one can expect from your average autoflower. Breeders of this strain claim that the flowering period lasts for 70–80 days, however, it's quite likely they're referring to the entire life cycle from seed to harvest. Cultivators can expect around 400–450g/m² from their indoor plants.

Have you ever heard this statement, "you need to straighten your life out" or from your parent, "straighten out". Well, our Heavenly Father wants us to "straighten out" as well. Straighten out from what? Crooked ways.
Crooked ways make you a crook! The funny thing is that the main person you rob is yourself. God desires for His children to learn His word and make a decision to live by it.
David the Psalmist made some very distinct statements regarding straightening out his "ways":
Psalm 119:1-11 (KJV)
1 Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.
2 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.
3 They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.
4 Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.
5 O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!
6 Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.
7 I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.
8 I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly.
9 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.
10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.
11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
I italicized the specific statements made in these verses to show an emphasis regarding the things we need to do to straighten out.
The blessing flows through a straightened vessel.
Notice what these verses say, vs.1 "walk in the law of the Lord", vs.2 "keep His testimonies and seek Him with your whole heart", vs.3 "do no iniquity, walk in His ways or God's ways", vs.4 "keep His precepts diligently, vs.5 "direct your ways to keep His statutes", vs.6 "respect all the commandments", vs.7 "praise Him with uprightness of heart and learn His righteous judgements", vs.8 "keep His statutes", vs.9 "cleanse your way by keeping His word", vs.10 "whole heartedly seek Him and do not wander from His commandments or word", vs.11 "hide the word in your heart, to keep you from sin".
All these verses give clear instructions on how we are to straighten out our crooked ways. Let's read what Psalm 5:8 (KJV) says to us:
8 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.
Unless we make the effort to straighten out our ways, it will never get done. Once we give our lives to Christ, we are declared righteous. According to 2 Corinthians 5:21 Jesus made us righteous or right standing with God, yet, for us to experience the benefits of this righteousness, we must choose to live that righteousness.
This is why knowing what Jesus has done for us through His death, burial and resurrection is so important for the Believer.
Paul stated in Romans that we are free from the power of sin through the Jesus' death, burial and resurrection.
Now, being free and living free are two different things. Living free requires action or faith. How many Christians today live like they are still obligated to sin? Unfortunately, many Christians today live defeated lifestyles because they feel that they are not able to live free from sin.
Notice what Paul states regarding our freedom from sin:
Romans 6:11-14 (KJV)
11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
Paul informs us that we have the ability to live an upright lifestyle, but if our minds are not renewed to this principle, we will continue living our lives as though we were never born again into Christ and His righteousness.
Every born again Believer has been declared righteous by God through the blood sacrifice of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We have a responsibility to renew our minds to this benefit. Without righteousness, we would not be able to live by faith. Knowing that we are right standing with God allows for us to have faith in Him.
If we see ourselves as sinners, we will always have a guilty mindset, which would generate negative feelings of what God desires to bless us with. This would breed an underservant attitude toward God, which would limit God's ability to bless us.
According to what Paul said, we do not need to allow sin to control our lives. Verse 12 specifically says that we have the authority to operate free from sin in this mortal body. He did not say a glorified body, which is what we will receive after we have been resurrected. But, Paul specifically stated that we could live free from sin "in this mortal body"; this is talking about the body we have right now.
here is an old saying that many people use today to justify sinful actions and the saying goes like this, "I am only human"; this is an excuse for a lack of discipline. We have been empowered by God through His Son, Jesus Christ, to live a victorious, overcoming lifestyle.
Make a decision to live who you really are, the righteousness of God. He has declared us righteous, but if we do not believe what God has promised us regarding this, we will always live bound to sin, fear, guilt, condemnation, shame and feelings that you do not deserve the blessings of God. This is not enjoying life to the full.
In reality, straightening out your life is really straightening out the way you think about how God thinks about you. God loves you and has made it very simple to establish relationship with Him; simply by receiving Jesus as the Lord of your life and believing that God has raised Jesus from the dead. (Romans 10:9, 10)
Jeremiah 29:11 (KJV)
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
This is the heart of a Father; God has a Father's heart and only desires for us to experience His love and blessings.
Remember, Jesus came to give us life and life more abundantly. (John 10:10)

I'm back in the office today, off another Monday. This time it wasn't all fun and games. I have a killer weekend coming up, working every day AND catering on Friday! My last three days were JAM PACKED! My first ever yard sale was a huge success. Kaila and I made some dough for the next chapters in our lives. We also decided we're never having another yard sale again. I don't know how people do them a couple times a year. I am not a wheeler and dealer. Craigslist is easier, people are more willing to pay your price tag and all communication can be handled via text. My favorite kind. Mr. G and I took off to SF on Saturday to check out the Renegade Craft Fair. I've been hearing about it for the last couple years and since I have a mad crush on Etsy I figured I'd drain my bank account there. Thank goodness that was not the case. Lots of creative, wonderful stuff - don't get me wrong. It's hard as a creative type to justify spending money on certain things when I think, I can make that myself. Just one of the many burdens I face from being just so darn awesome. / brushes imaginary dust off shoulder
How is your week so far? Any of you California people hit up the RCF? What did you think?

TinTin Rocket/
Feeling a little retro today? Good, me too, and it doesn't get much more retro than this classic TinTin rocket from Destination Moon circa 1950. It's iconic, it's streamline and it's perfectly done by builder gonkius. Now let's climb aboard for a little adventure shall we?
Thanks for the tip Larry Lars!

Research results and predictions
South Africa:
* IT spending in SA will total R276.6 billion in 2018, a 4.3% increase from 2017, according to Gartner. All IT segments are on track to achieve growth this year, with data centre systems and servers returning to growth.
* The EMEA mobile phone market continues to lose steam, with smartphone shipments in the total European market, including Russia and the CIS, marginally lower than in the same quarter last year, at 44.9 million, according to IDC.
* In Q218, Huawei surpassed Apple to secure the number two worldwide smartphone vendor position for the first time, according to Gartner. Apple moved into the number three spot. Overall, sales of smartphones to end-users grew 2% in Q218 to reach 374 million units.
* The worldwide hardcopy peripherals market grew 0.9% year-over-year, with more than 23.5 million units shipped in 2Q18, according to IDC. Inkjet and laser unit shipments both expanded in the quarter, each growing 0.8% year over year.
* Worldwide network functions virtualisation infrastructure revenue was just $564 million in 2017, according to IDC. But as communications service providers ramp up their network transformation, revenue is expected to achieve a CAGR of 58.1% over the 2017-2022 forecast period, reaching $5.6 billion in 2022.
* Worldwide shipments of large-format printers increased 4% year-over-year, while large-format printer revenue grew 3% year-over-year in 2Q18, according to IDC. For the first half of the year, shipments are up 3.5%, while revenue was up over 5% compared to the first half of 2017.
* While the worldwide smartphone market is expected to decline again in 2018, IDC believes the market will experience low single-digit growth from 2019 through the end of its forecast in 2022. It forecasts worldwide smartphone shipments to decline 0.7% in 2018 to 1 455 billion units, down from 1 465 billion in 2017. However, it believes the market will return to positive growth in the second half of 2018, with volumes up 1.1% compared to the second half of 2017. In the long-term forecast, it expects the overall smartphone market to reach 1 646 billion units shipped in 2022.
* Unit shipments for the global personal computing devices market, comprising traditional PCs, tablets and workstations, are expected to contract by 3.9% in 2018, according to IDC. This decline is expected to continue throughout the forecast period as the market shrinks to 383.6 million units shipped in 2022, with a five-year CAGR of -1.5%. Despite the decline in overall shipment volume, the market is expected to grow 3.6% in terms of dollar value to $237.3 billion in 2018, fuelled by two-in-ones (detachable tablets and convertible notebooks), ultra-slim notebooks and even desktops, particularly ones used for gaming.
* The market for compute and storage infrastructure for telecoms was at nearly $10.81 billion in 2017, according to IDC. However, as telecoms aggressively build out their infrastructure, it projects this market to see a healthy five-year CAGR of 6.2% with purchases totalling $16.35 billion in 2022.
* The composable/disaggregated infrastructure) market, a new class of converged infrastructure that brings together compute, storage and networking elements and enabling software to provide an on-premises cloud-like experience, was valued at just over $300 million in 2017, according to IDC. However, as new and incumbent IT vendors enter this market, each making a unique case for solving IT infrastructure challenges, it projects this market to aggressively grow at a five-year CAGR of 58.2%, reaching nearly $3.4 billion in 2022.
* The global semiconductor industry revenue grew 4.4% sequentially to a record high of $120.8 billion in Q218, according to IHS Markit.

I am proud to announce that we recently launched Evergage eCampus, our new online learning portal! The portal is for Evergage customers and partners (login request) seeking to develop the skills to be successful with personalization and Evergage.
With eCampus, you can take courses, complete quick checks, and practice what you've learned in labs. You complete courses at your own pace and when it's convenient for you. Plus, you can go back and review courses already completed as many times as you want, so you never have to worry about missing something important.
So far, we've published our first online learning program for Evergage eCampus: On-boarding Level 100. Comprised of 12 individual courses, this is the first part of a three-part learning series that will help you become proficient with Evergage's real-time personalization platform.
These on-demand courses, quizzes, and labs will be augmented by live meetings with Customer Success team members, where they will put the training in the context of your specific situation and goals. In the learning space, this is called "blended learning," because it blends the on-demand coursework you do on your own with live interactions with an expert who can answer questions, give you a different take on the material, and help you connect the dots to your own personalization strategy. When learning has personal meaning, you tend to remember what you've learned and, most importantly, can apply it to your own situation. We're very excited to provide this learning experience to help you see the impact of their personalization initiatives quickly.
Using Evergage for Evergage eCampus
Creating this program involved more than just a lot of planning, organization, and writing. We also needed to find a place to put it all! We implemented a learning management system, or LMS, to manage learning enrollments, certifications, quizzes, and other learning-related tasks.
Once we got up and running with our LMS, the first thing we did was put the Evergage JavaScript beacon into the web-based LMS solution. Evergage gives us detailed information on who is coming into eCampus and how they are using it. It also makes it possible to create Evergage campaigns and deliver personalized experiences and messages for our students right within the eCampus.
The first personalization campaign we created on Evergage eCampus was a guided tour that appears in a modal for first-time visitors. The short video tour gives an overview of the features of our eCampus, but once you dismiss it you won't see it again because it is designed to be shown only to first timers. But how many times have you seen a popup on a site and closed it because you are just trying to get to what you want to see, then tried in vain to find that information again? It happens all the time, so we wanted to make sure people could get back to the tour again as needed.
So the second campaign we created includes a button for the tour in a blank area on the main page of eCampus. We made it look and behave exactly like the other buttons in the eCampus so you cannot tell that it wasn't always there. We wanted it to always show up (just in case users want to watch it a second or third time!). There aren't any personalization rules associated with it, but we could have opted to include a rule to only show the button to people who had never watched the video before.
Looking Ahead
We have many ideas for our eCampus and will continue to build out learning programs to help you succeed with real-time personalization. The next set of courses will be for those who have been using Evergage for a little while and are ready to take personalization to the next level. If you are interested in learning more about, well, learning at Evergage, please drop us a line at [email protected]. We look forward to hearing your thoughts!

LIHTC (often pronounced lie-tech) is the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit and it provides a federal tax credit to investors in affordable housing. It creates billions of dollars of investment in affordable housing both in urban and rural areas across the United States. Since its inception in 1987, the program has supported the development, rehab and preservation of 2.6 million units of affordable rental housing in the U.S. I am one of the nearly 100,000 jobs created annually from the program as it stimulated $15 billion in housing investment, and generates $7 billion in local income. The LIHTC program accounts for virtually all of the U.S. affordable housing development.
Green, Sustainability and LIHTC
I worked on my first LIHTC project in 2012. Our state agency, Missouri Housing Development Commission (MHDC) was including green and sustainable building practices in the project applications and I was the green consultant. When the project was awarded, we went to work on the "green plan" to ensure the project met the requirements for green home certification for remodel projects. We also provided the online owners' manual as part of the green requirements and good practice.
Green and sustainability in affordable housing offers both financial and living benefits for both the owner/operator and the residents. The first benefit most people think of is lower utility costs for the residents. This benefit alone makes sense to me since it helps make affordable housing more affordable. Residents will also benefit from the improved comfort, health and safety of green and energy-efficient housing. Less obvious benefits may accrue to the owner/operator in additional reduced maintenance and operation costs from the use of more durable building materials and finishes requiring less replacement, repair and upkeep. Resident education and involvement in green and sustainable activities also offers opportunities for engagement in the housing community. Other less obvious benefits may show up too.
Tying it all Together
I attended our state agency's developer workshop last week to learn more about the bigger picture of our LIHTC program in Missouri. My green consulting and being a Missouri Certified WBE (Woman Business Enterprise) has earned me work on several projects over the last few years. As a green consultant, I am typically involved primarily in the design and building phases. It was fascinating to learn about the bigger picture and all of the parties and entities involved to make one of these projects a reality. My big take-away was that I realized working in affordable housing is 1 way to tie together my service to women, housing and green!
To learn more about what I know about LIHTC (or don't know)…leave a comment or drop me a line firstname.lastname@example.com.

Top 3 Methods for Getting an Accredited Online College Degree
Regardless of the degree you want, to quickly attain it you will need ideas, pointers and good advice to choose the right college. Should you know what to do and what to stay away from, it is easier to find the best accredited online college degree for you.
1. Always make sure that the college degree you apply for is from an accredited college.
It is important to always make sure that the college degree you apply for is from an accredited college because doing so puts a stop to you spending potentially years working towards a degree that is not recognized by any other education provider or employer. Failing to ensure the college you apply at is accredited can mean that you have not only lost the years you have put aside to study, but also a large amount of money also. So make sure and ask if the college is accredited!
2. Read the small print.
I am telling you, this is simply not a thing to skip. It will help to see if you have to attend any class, lecture or on campus unit study, and that's something anyone involved in ways to gain an accredited online college degree requires.
3. Make sure you know how many hours you must commit to.
Finally, when looking at the various providers of online college degrees you ought to be certain of how many hours a week that you will have to commit to . This can range from course to course but you need to know how many hours a week that you will need to dedicate to study for your degree. Should you not, chances are you'll become overwhelmed by the time required and not be able to cope.

INVESTIGATORS who nailed Birmingham loan shark Mark Johnson are set to take a bite out of dozens of other illegal money-lenders.
A 'loan shark team' insider said they were probing 35 other people suspected of preying on families living on the breadline.
They hope to help hundreds of hard-up families across the Midlands break free from the shackles of the loan sharks bleeding them dry.
They already have cases against nine other suspected illegal money-lenders ready to go to court.
The team spokesman said: "People don't always come forward. They are that frightened of these people. We are talking about organised crime.
"They are involved in criminal lifestyles but are not worried about hurting people. But we are doing our best to stop them."
The team was one of two pilots set up in the country by the Government last year to tackle the illegal £3 billion pound illegal money-lending industry.
It covers the entire Midlands area from Stoke-on-Trent to Hereford, but Birmingham and the Black Country is the main focus, a team insider said.
Johnson, 38, pleaded guilty at Birmingham Crown Court on Friday to running a consumer credit business without a licence and three counts of demanding money with menaces. The trial judge warned he now faces a custodial sentence.
It later emerged he was believed to have extorted an estimated £800,000 from families, charging up to 8,000 per cent APR.
Debts owed to him have now been wiped out and city chiefs are helping families stay clear of debt.
The insider said: "These investigations can be long and complex but the team are hard-working and professional as the success of taking out Johnson shows.
"There is now a huge amount of research surrounding this area so we are really breaking new ground.
"It is about stopping those people from profiting from the misery of those people who are on low-incomes."

Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace actor Khan Bonfils, 42, passed away during a play rehearsal for Dante's Inferno in London. The actor — who appeared in Batman Begins— collapsed while rehearsing for the play, which was set to begin later this week at The Rag Factory theatre. Both paramedics and members of the Craft Theatre Company in East London attempted to save Khan. As of now, the cause of his death is still unknown.
Chris Hislop, the company spokesperson, confirmed Khan's death and stated, "The entire company are in shock. There is absolutely severe sadness, it is a real tragedy."
Khan also appeared in Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life and the Bond film Skyfall. ~Janine Wyslobicky

Seattle Seahawks
Injuries on overlooked special teams having a prominent effect on Seahawks
It's punting time. Or kickoff time.
Or, otherwise seen as time for a trip to the refrigerator or the bathroom or the concession stand, right?
Part of the reason special teams are so overlooked is because relatively few people are looking at them. But they are largely why the Seahawks spared themselves losing last weekend to winless Oakland. And injuries to front-liners on them — and the corresponding employment of first-time fill-ins who have compounded mistakes — are why Seattle has dropped in NFL rankings in five of six statistical categories on special teams.
Linebacker Mike Morgan plays on every one of Seattle's special teams — except the field-goal unit that is dominated by linemen. Don't tell him special teams don't matter.
Heck, they were part of the reason why the Seahawks won last season's Super Bowl. Seattle thinks so much of special teams it puts two All-Pros on them; Earl Thomas is on kickoffs and Richard Sherman has done punt returns.
Special teams are part of explanation for the Seahawks starting 3-3, part of why they are now 5-3 and two games out of the NFC West lead.
"The thing about special teams is, people don't know how important this is until you mess up or you make a big play," Morgan said before heading out early Wednesday afternoon for — you guessed it — special-teams practice.
The problem has been starters who usually play on the kick teams have been hurt far more than they were last season. So Seattle's kicking units have been more inexperienced, more mistake-prone, resulting in far less advantageous field position this season.
But when Kam Chancellor, Jeron Johnson, Malcolm Smith, Jeremy Lane, core guys on Seattle's special-teams units, were out injured for last weekend's game against Oakland their replacements became a larger part of the game than the Seahawks wanted.
Undrafted rookie Brock Coyle was the up back on the punt-coverage team. He missed his block, and it resulted in Oakland blocking Jon Ryan's punt for the touchdown that got the Raiders back in the game in the third quarter last weekend.
That same punt-coverage team dotted with fill-ins allowed a 27-yard punt return to the Seahawks' 30-yard line later in that quarter. That set up Oakland for another touchdown. The dual special-teams breakdowns turned Seattle's 24-3 lead into a 24-17 slog.
Just as special teams gave away most of that lead, they also preserved what was left of it.
Jermaine Kearse, an undrafted free agent from Lakes High School and the University of Washington, has risen to the No. 2 wide receiver for the Super Bowl champions. How did he get there? By wowing the Seahawks on special teams.
Even now, Kearse and Doug Baldwin are the Seahawks' top two wide receivers — and both are on special teams. Baldwin was the team's punt returner last week, though Seattle has since re-signed Bryan Walters to do that job Sunday against the New York Giants.
Last weekend Kearse played 33 percent of special-teams snaps and made two of the biggest plays of the game. He forced a fumble on a Raiders kickoff return. Then when Sebastian Janikowski executed a tricky, high-hop onside kick that had bounced off Seattle's Cooper Helfet with 47 seconds left, Kearse secured the fumble under the first dogpile he said he has ever been in to seal the Seahawks' 30-24 victory.
"That's why Coach Carroll has a lot of linebackers and DBs on special teams," Morgan said, "because those are the guys who can make plays."
When they are healthy enough to be on the field, that is.
The Seahawks were second in the NFL last season in punt-return yardage allowed. This season they are dead last at No. 32. They have dropped 10 ranking spots since last season, to 29th, in net punting. They are 10 spots lower in net punting average allowed, nine places lower in punt-return average.
That's not all on the punters and returners. Better blocking and tackle would help, too.
Those so-called "lost yards" can often mean lost games.
"Injuries have definitely affected it," Morgan said. "You know, for the past four years that I've been here it's pretty much been the same guys in there. And this year we've had a little more injuries than normal, so it's definitely affected it."
Carroll said his team might have four or as many as eight injured players back for Sunday's game against the New York Giants, including Johnson, Chancellor and Lane for the kicking game. Will that alone make Seattle's special teams more special again?
Lane possibly coming back Sunday from a groin injury gives Seattle back its premier "gunner" on the outside to cover punts.
"Well, we're a long way back on the core guys' thing. We hope to (get better)," Carroll said of his special teams. "They'll get better. Jeron is a big deal to us coming back (from a concussion).
"If you notice there are a couple guys who played in the game last week that aren't even here right now."
Steven Terrell, L.J. Fort and Terrance Parks — all recently off the practice squad — combined for a total of 44 special-teams snaps against Oakland.
They were all cut within three days after the game.
"We've had no choice. You just do the best you can," Carroll said. "That's why we know we can get better.
"Those guys that were in there for the first time with big assignments will get better this week. They'll feel more comfortable and they'll play faster and they'll be more aggressive because of that."
Kearse, himself only in his third season, said he has to harp on some younger Seahawks to view special teams as important as offense and defense.
"There are some guys you have to tell," Kearse said. "You have guys who were the top guys on their college teams and then they get here then they expect to not play on special teams.
"But, I mean, we've got starters everywhere that play on special teams. We've got Kam Chancellor, Earl Thomas playing on kickoff. We've got Richard Sherman playing on punt return."
And, hey, there's money to be made in it.
Morgan looks at Heath Farwell, the 10-year veteran special-teams captain whose two torn groin muscles in August forced him into semi-retirement. The Seahawks so value his leadership and experience on special teams they put him on injured reserve instead of giving him an injury settlement and letting him go home. That's allowed him to become an injured player-coach for special teams this season.
Farwell made the Pro Bowl in 2010 for special-teams excellence with Minnesota. He made $7.5 million with the Vikings. He's collecting the final months of his three-year contract with Seattle that will net him a total of $3.75 million more, plus a $500,000 signing bonus.
That's a lot of money playing while you are at the fridge.
"To stick in the league? I mean, look at Heath. Heath's made a living with special teams. He's been in the league for … 20 years," Morgan said, doubling Farwell's actual career length to make a point. "So of course it's big.
"People on the outside, they don't realize that. But there are guys who make a great living off special teams."

So, My list:
|Yes, I know it is Excel. I prefer it as it helps me learn my list.
The Tactics:
So, 1 Librarian, 2 Land Raiders and a bucket load of Rhino Chassis's. My general tactic is to stay at range and just pelt my opponent with as much focused fired as possible. I feel against most lists I have an advantage as my entire army is mech so their normal anti-infantry range will be normally useless. As my entire army is able to focus just on their anti-mech units. In otherwords 100% of my army is able to focus on 50% of his army while his 50% must focus on my 100%...double win. At least that is my thought in concept.
Why AV13:
Because it is cheaper than AV14 and doesn't hurt as much verses lance but provides a solid defense against 'light anti-mech' guns such as Missile Launchers, Autocannons, etc. Also since it is cheap it is spam-able enough to create target saturation and combined fire.
What this list is NOT:
This list is not about the infantry as the majority of the time the infantry are dead as soon as their can is popped. With that revelation and understanding that AV13 is where my army shines I've resigned away from RazorSpam and focusing on my Elite, Fast, Heavy Vehicles. Ultimately I'd like to have at least 3 Razorbacks to provide scoring.
The Weakness:
So, where am I suffering here? Well, I seem to have a big issue with assaults. Generally if they take the time to assault my vehicles they are gone. I try to counter this by always moving 6 inches and 12 is possible. The problem I run into is space as I'm constantly having to shift my vehicles I run out of room fast. Also being that the models I have are not optimized I encounter another issue there.
What's Next:
I'd like to expand my Fast Attacks with more Baal Predators and remove a Land Raider. It is my personal opinion that Land Raiders are not worth their points (and even less so when it doesn't have a big killy squad inside it). So, I plan to remove a Land Raider freeing up well over 300 points and add at least one Baal Predator. The real strength of this list will be the AV13 wall. So I need more Baal Predators, Vindicators, Predators and Furioso Dreadnoughts. Ultimately, I plan to have 3 Baal Predators, 2 Vindicators, 1 Predator and 2 Furioso Dreadnoughts. The rest of the points will be invested into Razorbacks and a Liberian.
What I'm Undecided About:
I'm not sure what turret I want for the Razorback, being the weakest armor in my list I'd like to put TL Lascannons and call it a day as they sit in the back and peck at their targets. But at the same time I cannot deny how effective the TL Assault Cannon is against most targets. Also I'm not 100% on the Heavy Bolters on the Baal Predators.
Regardless only time will tell on what I do with this list. I'm open to any and all suggestions or comments. So by all means please let me know! Got a list that will table me? Show me and let me know what I can to better combat it.
So my questions to you all:
Where are my weaknesses?
What list(s) will give me trouble?
Where can I improve?
Does anyone have experience with a similar list? And what do you do?
Remember..."Knowledge is Power"

text: By Agamoni Ghosh April 10 (Reuters) - Latin American shares fell on Wednesday led by Brazil stocks as the government's ability to build political consensus on the pension reform remained uncertain, while currencies of net crude exporters in the region rose on the back of higher oil prices. MSCI's index of Latin American stocks fell marginally with most indices in the red, barring Mexico stocks which edged 0.2 percent higher. Sao Paulo-traded stocks dropped 0.4 percent, as losses in financials, typically sensitive to news related to the pension reform, weighed the most on Bovespa. Treasury Secretary Mansueto Almeida said that success of the pension reform will depend on the government's ability to build political consensus and Brazil will need to further slash public spending to deliver a high level of savings. The pension reform is seen as the most important economic reform for Brazil and its mounting fiscal deficit, but investors worry that dilution of the original plan may not result in the savings promised by President Jair Bolsonaro. The central bank chief, Campos Neto, underlined similar concerns, saying fiscal challenges were focused around three areas - pension reform, public sector salaries and interest of debt amid a challenging international environment. Mexican stocks flitted between positive and negative while the peso rose for a fifth-straight session on the back of higher oil prices. Chile's peso rose marginally. The country's central bank will hold off on hiking its benchmark interest rate until December amid subdued forecasts for growth in the world's top copper producer, a monthly poll of 57 analysts published by the bank showed. Argentina's peso eased off record-low levels hit earlier this week but market participants were increasingly concerned about the currency. Analysts believe renewed market volatility could spark another currency crisis for Latin America's third-largest economy. Key Latin American stock indexes and currencies at 1505 GMT Stock indexes daily % Latest change MSCI Emerging Markets 1095.45 0.18 MSCI LatAm 2838.20 -0.07 Brazil Bovespa 95839.52 -0.47 Mexico IPC 45011.46 -0.31 Chile IPSA 5275.46 -0.12 Argentina MerVal 32252.70 1.6 Colombia IGBC 13263.95 0.15 Currencies daily % change Latest Brazil real 3.8279 0.67 Mexico peso 18.8375 0.49 Chile peso 662.5 0.20 Colombia peso 3093.96 0.24 Peru sol 3.293 0.03 Argentina peso 43.1000 0.72 (interbank) (Reporting by Agamoni Ghosh Editing by Nick Zieminski)

As uni starts once more and we welcome a new year group of fresher's into our merry bunch of students, I have to admit that I do envy you First Years a little bit! Not only do you have all the excitement of moving in and meeting a whole load of wonderful people but you also have the added bonus (for most of you) of exploring a brand new town and making it your own. So I thought I would give you a little bit of a starting point about where you could look for the hidden gems of Reading that may not be immediately obvious to the untrained eye. Let's start with the obvious – the centre of the town itself. This is made up of two main parts; The Oracle shopping centre and the Riverside. For all you shopaholics out there, this shopping centre will be like a dream. It houses over 80 stylish stores including favourites such as Topshop and Topman, Hollister, Oasis, Crew and Mango. On top of that we have not one but two department stores with many different concessions hidden within their hallowed halls. A shopper's paradise!
The more adventurous may want to visit The Hexagon Theatre or The Global café
Then when you get peckish from all that exhausting exercise, lugging round your bulging bags, all you need to do is step right outside for a bite to eat or a drink in one of the many restaurants that are housed on either side of the river. Even the fussiest of eaters will be able to find something they love because of the huge range of cultures that are represented – from Yo Sushi to Bella Italia to Café Rouge to Las Iguanas you should be able to find something!
The social life in Reading is pretty amazing – with all these restaurants, a few excellent clubs (that do great student discounts on specific nights) and countless bars and pubs, there is never a shortage of places to hold social gatherings or to go on those hot dates. Plus, for the bit more adventurous among you who want to try something completely new, there are a range of cultural venues such as The Hexagon theatre and The Global café which are slightly more alternative. So, you will have to make time in amongst all that studying you are being forced to do.
Harris Gardens: Three acres of beauty if you manage to locate it
If you are needing a little bit of time out from the stresses of essay writing, or if you just want some peace and quiet, away from the boozy student culture, there a number of calm spots in amongst this busy town that you wouldn't necessarily expect. One of my favourites is the Harris Gardens, tucked away in the corner of the Whiteknights Campus itself. I am going to give you no hints about its exact position, I'll leave that to you and your excellent explorations. But believe me, it's worth looking for and is three acres of beauty if you manage to locate it. A little easier to find are the Forbury Gardens, right in the centre of town and these are an excellent place for just chilling with a coffee and people watching. Right next to the Forbury Gardens, are the ruins of the abbey which will intrigue the history lovers among you. It was built in 1121 by Henry I and in its day was quite prestigious with the weddings of John of Gaunt and Edward IV taking place within its confines. During the 18th century, it housed the Abbey School for girls, which is where Jane Austen reportedly attended for a few years. On top of this there are a number of museums, three of which are situated on the two university campuses. So if you want to improve your mind, a bit more than simply through your studying, Reading definitely gives you the opportunity to do this.
As you can see there are so many things to get up to while you are in Reading, I don't see how you are going to get any studying done at all to be honest, with so much to occupy your time. So while you are settling in, don't forget to check out the town as well. It won't let you down!

On Tuesday I shared our God daughter's birthday card and today I am sharing a card for her big brother! I did my best to keep this clean and simple but in the end couldn't resist layering in stamps and color and doing some embossing on the inside of the card.
I'm not so sure it would qualify as "clean and simple" any more but for my usual style it is!
I think it will bring a smile to a little boy's face!!
As a bonus picture for you today, here are all of the September birthday and 1 just because cards that I have sitting out on my desk, ready to be signed, stamped and delivered!
Tip: Set a reminder on your phone mid-month to get cards and gifts ready for the following month.
And hopefully never be late again (unless you have a really cute "late" birthday stamp that you wanna use! ha!)
Happy Stamping!

Biocybernetic Medicine
Here at Mura Pathway to Wellness, something we are often asked about is how Biocybernetic Medicine works and what it is used for. We thought we would write this article so that you can share this information with your family and friends, and help them learn about alternative ways to diagnose and treat disease, and improve overall health and wellbeing.
Biocyberntic Medicine is a system for diagnosing and treating diseases which works by finding disruptions to your immune system. Your immune system has an extremely important function in your body, protecting you from illnesses and viruses outside of your body and rogue cells within your body that can result in disease or damage to your body. Any disruption to the immune system that causes it to be confused can be extremely damaging to your health and wellbeing.
Exposure to the following can cause disruption to your immune system:
- Chemicals
- Pesticides and herbicides
- Electromagnetic fields
- Magnetic fields
- Radiation
- Hormones
- Geopathic stress
A significant number of diseases and symptoms can result from your disrupted immune system, including:
- Asthma
- Arthritis
- Candida
- Epilepsy
- Heart problems
- Headaches
- Cancer
- Migraines
- Pain
- Emotional disturbances
- Amnesia
- Lack of energy
- Skin disorders and acne
- Stress
- Allergies
- Hormonal imbalances
- Diseases of the organs
- Infections
- Poisoning
- Vitamin and mineral deficiencies
It is important to note that these are not necessarily the result of having a weak immune system, but rather because the external influencers above have disrupted and confused the immune system, which has made it hard for it to detect and fight damage and disease.
It is difficult to avoid the above triggers in today's society, and the diseases and symptoms listed here are certainly becoming more and more common. So what can we do to undo the damage? Biocybernetic Medicine is able to restore the immune system's ability to function normally after exposure. This happens through two steps:
Measuring the energy field
Because your body functions are controlled by electromagnetic signals, measuring your energy field and comparing it to a balanced or healthy sample can help identify specific toxic events, degeneration, and chronic illness.
Identifying the causes
Once an imbalance or disruption has been measured, this measurement is compared to an extensive database of electromagnetic signals. This shows the potential disturbances to your immune system which it may not be recognising and fighting, including viruses, metals, cancer, hormones, bacteria, fungi, and more.
How does it work?
Biocybernetic Medicine is able to return your body's energy to its natural balance so that it can regulate itself. Treatment is complete when your electromagnetic signals no longer display significant disturbances.
This is not, as many would believe, an alternative medicine, but advanced technology that is based on physics and quantum theory.
What are the benefits of Biocybernetic Medicine?
Biocybernetic Medicine has a range of benefits, the greatest being that it provides a new and exciting way to diagnose and repair the immune system and help the human body repair itself. In addition to this, it can be safely used in conjunction with other health systems, including:
- Naturopathic treatments
- Herbal treatments
- Natural supplementation treatments
- Remedial massage
- Chiropractic care
- Osteopathic care
Biocybernetic Medicine is unique in its ability to combine with and even unite holistic disease prevention and wellness programs.

John Kasich included the much-anticipated announcement in his two-year budget proposal Monday. The move makes Ohio one of a growing number of Republican-led states to fulfill an option under the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act to expand Medicaid to those who earn up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level.

NEW YORK — Toll Brothers Inc. said its fiscal first-quarter earnings surged, aided by some asset sales and an increase in the price and number of units delivered.
Toll Brothers TOL, -0.33%, which focuses largely on higher-end customers in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic, has benefited as low interest rates have made home buying more affordable than renting in several markets. Consumers, increasingly confident because of stabilizing home values, are also trading up into the larger homes for which Toll is known.
For the quarter ended Jan. 31, Toll reported income of $45.6 million, or 25 cents a share, up from $4.4 million, or three cents a share, in the year-earlier period.
Pretax income was $71.2 million, up from $8.3 million a year earlier. The latest period included $23.5 million from the sale of two shopping centers in which Toll Brothers was a 50% joint venture partner, as well as $6.3 million of gains from land sales.
Revenue jumped 52% to $643.7 million, just below estimates of $643.9 million from analysts polled by Thomson Reuters.
Toll Brothers delivered 928 units in the quarter, up 24% from a year earlier. The average price of homes delivered was $694,000, compared with $569,000 a year ago.
The cancellation rate was 7%, up from 6.2%.
Net signed contracts was 916 units, down 6% a year ago.
