FrameMonkey | Gif Creation on the iPhone, Finally
June 2013 - February 2015
GIFs, man.
Before GIFs became the form of viral internet memes, before GIFs were used on 39.2% of all websites, and before any major social networks supported GIFs, FrameMonkey was born in attempt to become the "home" of GIFs.
FrameMonkey was founded with the intent to first launch a GIF creation app on iPhone to gain user-traction and built momentum around GIFs. Ultimately, the plan was it to evolve into a place where people share their creations.
In August 2013, FrameMonkey grew to a team of two as a technical co-founder joined the team.
The design challenge was to build a structure that introduced the then foreign format of GIFs, enabled easy edibility, and allowed for future expansion and features while keeping everything straightforward and quick. Everything had to be seamless, and it was important to cater to the clueless, than to the power-users.
We were able to develop a GIF creation algorithm that allowed for conversion from video to GIF on iPhone with conversion times much faster than any competition which was key to popularizing the new format.
February 2015: FrameMonkey was shut down due to lack of technical progress.
Note: It's amazing to look back to this project. This was my first entrepreneurship journey and was my introduction to design (I began this project when I was 13 years old).

In my post How to Begin Researching a Topic, Part One, I stressed the need to start early with any assignments you have. Looking back to my own experience, it is amazing how much time I spent procrastinating on research in my first and second years of university. I would find myself with bits of research completed here and there, a half thought out thesis statement, and piles of notes stuffed into books without a clear focus or direction. Finally somewhere in my third or fourth year, through trial and error I figured out the concept of scheduling the steps of research and writing to make what was often a painful process into something I felt I had some control over and would ultimately come to enjoy. Learning and mastering time management is a vital part of the university experience, but is often left to students to figure out for themselves. Fortunately we now have many web-based tools to help calculate and create personal calendars to complete assignments on time and with confidence.
Simply visit the site, enter the date you are given the assignment, the date the assignment is due, and then select the appropriate subject area of the research (in the screen shot above, I selected "Art and Art History." Press the "Calculate Assignment Schedule" and voila!, you are presented with a clear path and a reasonable timeline to finish the assignment.
With each step, you are provided with tasks to complete and linked to useful online tutorials about how to define your topic, how to begin the process of outlining, and when and how to start writing. Over the years, many universities have quietly adapted the Minnesota calculator and added other useful functions. I especially like the UCLA version of the Assignment Calculator since it addresses the concerns of ESL (English as a Second Language) students, brainstorming techniques, links to resources on citation styles and highlights modules on learning the difference between scholarly and popular sources of information. I suggest using both calculators to access and combine the weekly suggestions and tasks. You can also download a version of Assignment Calculator for your desktop and use it when you do not have access to the Internet.
P.S. For masters and doctoral students, I highly recommend the Dissertation Calculator -- it is one of the only online tools that actually walks PhD students through the mystical process!
Remember, start early, and avoid the pitfalls of late nights and even later papers and assignments. Your time is precious, don't waste it procrastinating. How many all-nighters did it take me in my first and second years to figure this out? Too many! Trust me on that one.

A new Washington Post-ABC News poll has Mitt Romney up by a point over Barack Obama 47% to 46%. (46% is a truly horrible number for an incumbent.) But it is going to take more than a few narrow polls to change what I sense to be the widespread mood here that Romney is very narrowly losing, but the race remains winnable.So it was with great interest that I listened to the thoughts a longtime, much-respected GOP operative, whom I will nickname the Gloomy Guru. Among GG's observation:
- Romney will win North Carolina
- Ohio is iffy in GG's view, though one very smart, very connected Ohio GOPer thinks the state is lost
- New Mexico is lost
- Colorado looking good
- Pennsylvania is fool's gold, not going to happen
- Wisconsin can happen
- Virginia will be a dogfight, is critical
– If Romney loses, there will be war in the GOP over immigration and how party is connecting — or, rather, not connecting — with Hispanic voters. Sticking Marco Rubio or some other profile Hispanic politician on the ticket is not enough. Very adamant about this.
UPDATE: And, no, GG is not Jon Huntsman, though JH did just write an op-ed on immigration in the WSJ.

Mounting legal bills may derail daughter's effort
Associated Press
BOSTON -- Ted Williams' eldest daughter might be forced to give up her fight to remove the Hall of Famer's body from a cryonics lab because she is struggling to pay her legal bills.
Bobby-Jo Williams Ferrell has spent about $50,000 in the last 16 weeks to fight her siblings' claim that their father wanted to be frozen and not cremated, her lawyer, John Heer, said Wednesday.
Heer said the case could cost at least $50,000 more. A hearing is scheduled for Oct. 3 in Inverness, Fla., to determine whether the case should move forward.
"We are, at this point, preparing to go forward,'' Heer said. "We have to evaluate all of our options, and not continuing is one of those options.''
To date, Ferrell's fund-raising efforts have netted $2,500, the lawyer said.
Ferrell's financial problems were first reported in the Boston Globe on Wednesday.
Williams' body was sent to an Arizona cryonics warehouse hours after his death on July 5.
Ferrell said that Williams' desire to be cremated, as stated in his will, should be honored unless there is other "clear and convincing'' evidence that he changed his mind.
But his youngest children, John Henry Williams and Claudia Williams, maintain they signed a handwritten pact with their father in November 2000 agreeing that their bodies would be frozen.

The college trap that keeps people poor (Series)by Jim Tankersley
FORT WORTH — Chelsey Stone had already escaped so many of the traps that keep poor children in poverty for life. She recalls begging neighbors for dinner when her mother sold their food stamps for drug money. She slept on the trampoline outside when the heroin showed up and her mom locked the door and the binges began. When she rebelled as a teenager, it was with poster board: She plastered her house with bright signs warning, "Do Not Throw Needles Away Here.

Lion Bansko Hotel Reviews
Mr C Perry, Chesterfield
|23rd Feb 2017
|Lion Bansko Hotel
|Double Or Twin
|Half Board
For the price paid I'd give the hotel 5 stars overall. This hotel has very clean, comfortable rooms with small fridge, TV, hairdryer, plenty of hot water and decent shower and good size wardrobe for storage. The staff were efficient and pleasant. The bar prices were very reasonable and the bar area had 2 open fires to enjoy. The breakfast and evening meals weren't too varied but always something filling to eat and tasty enough for the prices. The spa/sauna was available for 15 Leva per person which was really good. I would go back for certain. For comparison with UK you can expect a high standard UK 2 star or lower standard UK 3 star. Great economy and a great hotel for budget price. Small group of guests were rowdy and there were no signs of management intervention but otherwise hotel staff good.

The Selinger NDP continues to show no willingness to move toward transparency in its awarding of public contracts, more than a year and a half after the Auditor General cited hundreds of millions of dollars in contracts that had not been tendered by this government.
"The Public Accounts Committee of the legislature is looking today at this NDP government's continuing delays in implementing the Auditor General's recommendations made 20 months ago," said Cameron Friesen, Opposition finance critic. "The premier wants to hide the details of contracts awarded to NDP friends and donors, instead of standing up for the best interests of taxpayers."

Department of Transport and Main Roads will carry out upgrades to Marian St in Mount Isa
Council wishes to advise that the State Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) will from Friday, March 15, be carrying out extensive median and road works along Marian Street until the end of the year.
The median works are part of a project to widen Marian Street, which is part of the Barkly Highway, to create additional slip lanes and turning lanes, as well as improve linemarking.
It will involve the narrowing of the median islands between Abel Smith Parade and Camooweal Street – and, in some cases, the removal of trees, including one in three fig trees, and the rose bushes planted by a Mount Isa Zonta club.
Council Director of Engineering Services Emilio Cianetti says Council is concerned about the aesthetics of the street and has relayed these concerns to TMR.
"We are currently in consultation with TMR. We are working diligently and doing everything we can to reinstate the trees and grassed areas on the medians," Mr Cianetti said.
"We are concerned about the aesthetics of the approach and we are doing everything possible to maximise the appearance of it and reduce the impact of the starkness of the engineering side of the project."
TMR has indicated the project will cost $8.3 million and should be finished by December.
It will begin at median near the Marian Street intersections of Webb Street and Butler Street, with work to progress east along Marian Street to Abel Smith Parade.
Once that section has been completed, work will resume from Webb Street west to Camooweal Street.
The project is jointly funded by the Federal Government and State Government, under the
Northern Australia Roads Program.
Queensland Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey says the urban section of the Barkly Highway has a concerning crash history at the intersections to be upgraded, and the project will improve safety for all road users, including heavy vehicles, general traffic, tourist vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians.
He says the State Government plans to improve 20 Mount Isa intersections by 2020.
For more information, call the TMR Cloncurry roads office on 4769 3200 or the general TMR inquiries line on 13 23 80.

For the final Maker Meetup of the year, Portland Made and hosts LR Design Co. welcomed Ciara Pressler of Pregame, who gave attendees a small sample of her DIYPR: Publicity Bootcamp.
Pressler established Pregame after spending over a decade working in marketing and PR on the East Coast; her intention was to create solutions for DIYers and small businesses "in the middle" of the PR game: Most makers, it turns out, are not naturals at PR and marketing, and they usually don't have the resources to spend unlimited money on outsourced services.
Savvy business owner that she is, Pressler didn't give away too much (for that, you'll have to sign up for the ten-hour course), but she did impart a few tips to achieve your PR goals:
Know what your goals are.
If you're looking to increase exposure for your brand, you'll need a different approach than if you're hoping to increase sales, and it's important to be honest and clear about that before you enlist the help of PR professionals.
Know your inventory.
Through there is some truth to the idea that scarcity increases the appeal of a product, you have to know how to play that game for it to work in your favor.
Make your own content.
This is a big one: Over the last twenty years or so, the news industry has changed dramatically, with journalists becoming an endangered species, overworked and underpaid. So, any work you can do to lessen the load is much appreciated and will likely get you quicker and more affirmative responses. You don't have to be a great writer, Pressler says; you just need to know a publication's style. Better yet, provide some photographs (with the proper permissions, of course).
Don't be lazy.
Don't send mass pitch emails—send them individually. And before you send those emails, make sure you know what recipients cover.
Pressler had to run after her presentation (to another PR event, naturally), but she left behind business cards and encouraged the audience to reach out with their questions. Left in the capable hands of MC Lemay and Allie Rivenbark, owners of LR Design, the two told us about their furniture company that utilizes reclaimed materials to create both custom and commercial pieces.
Lemay's welding space served as a backdrop during Pressler's presentation, and the couple led us through their space, which they share with Panoply, another Portland Made brand. When asked about the reclaimed wood taking up the majority of their headquarters, Rivenbark stated, without pausing, that she knew exactly where each piece came from.
As with all of our makers, the passion and drive was evident when Lemay and Rivenbark spoke about their work. And their warmth and generosity with their space, along with the frequent greetings from shop dog Ella, made for the perfect ending to the 2018 cycle of Maker Meetups.
Maker Meetups will be back in January—stay tuned for details soon, and don't forget to come see us at the second annual Creator Market on December 6.

With the considerable growth of international commerce and powerful corporations, combined with the ever-present need of the few to rule the many, the commercial legal system known as Roman Civil Law, has expanded internationally and led to the existence of bijural (dual jurisdiction) systems of regulation in all the World's Common Law countries. The British Government's legislation is based in the system of Roman Civil Law.
|A David with the head of Goliath statue in the gardens of Schwerin Castle in northern Germany.
These two competing systems of regulation, the ancient and preeminent jurisdiction of Common Law and the subordinate statutory jurisdiction of Roman Civil Law are in constant ideological conflict with each other.
The primary and compelling reason for the United States' Declaration of Independence was to eliminate the Roman civil legal system from the domestic law of the colonies due to its potential for conflict with freedom.
Briefly, and stated in general terms, the basic concepts of these two systems are diametrically opposed. In the Roman statutory legal system, the source of all regulations is the State or the personal ruler, it or he is sovereign. In the common law, the source of all law is the People, and they as a whole are sovereign. The most prominent distinction between common law and the statutory legal system is that common laws are principle based and applied equally to all men, while the statutes of the Roman legal system are more prescriptive, can only hold jurisdiction over legally registered consenting persons and can be made to apply to specified parts of society.
The Roman civil legal system is recognised as lending itself towards an oligarchic state, whereas the true democracy enhancing Saxon Common Law promotes moral self-determination of the People by the People under a Constitution created by the People. The Roman civil legal system is a top-down authority, whereas the Common Law system is a people-up authority, with the People as the foundation of power.
During the centuries, these two systems have had an almost deadly rivalry for the control of society. The Roman civil legal system and its fundamental concepts have been the instrument through which men of genius and self-serving ambition have set up and maintained despotisms through trading and money. Whereas the common law, with its basic moral principles being the instrument through which men of equal genius but with love of mankind burning in their souls, have established and preserved liberty and free institutions.
Society has been hierarchical for millennia, revolving around the status of individuals and organisations. The words state, statute, statutory all have their root in the word status. By legal definition, a 'society' is "a number of persons united together by mutual consent, in order to deliberate, determine, and act jointly for some common purpose."
All Acts of Parliament are statutes known as legislation, they are technically not laws. They are parliamentary legislated policies, which determine what is 'legal' or 'illegal' - words which are derived from the word 'legislated' and 'legislation'. A 'Statute' is defined as a rule or policy of a society, an edict of legislation used to govern that society. Statutes are subject to the consent of the society – and this is individual consent and not collective consent.
Statutes are often incorrectly referred to as laws by barristers and solicitors trained by the State to serve the State's legal system, but the correct interpretation would be 'black letter law' (meaning Statutes) which are distinguishable from 'law'.
The word 'Statute' is legally defined as: "A legislative rule of society given the force of law by the consent of the governed, a rule, as of a corporation." By its own definition it is not a law, it is only given the force of law by the consent of those who have entered into an agreement to be governed. The Latin maxim - Consensus Facit Legem - means 'Consent makes the law', and to be lawful the consent must be free and fair and should not be induced by fraud, misrepresentation, coercion or mistake.
A law differs from a statute in that law applies to all individuals in the land regardless of consent, for example nobody is above the Common Law crime of murder. Equality before the law is the principle that each independent being must be treated equally by the law - principle of isonomy - and that all are subject to the same laws of justice. Whereas statutes require consent and apply to defined sectors of society, as per the details of the relevant Act of Parliament.
The 1689 Bill of Rights makes a distinction between laws and statutes – "All which are utterly and directly contrary to the known laws and statutes and freedom of this realm".
Acts of Parliament become Statutes – primary legislation which in turn are enacted and enforced by statutory instruments – secondary legislation. For example, council tax is a statutory instrument enacted under its primary legislation the Local Government Finance Act 1992.
If Acts of Parliament were laws they would be called 'Laws of Parliament.' Parliament knows the distinction which it quite rightly maintains. Look at any Act of Parliament and you will notice the absence of the word law – that will give you the first clue that there is a difference. Parliament maintains the distinction between statutes and laws because those 'in the know' use this knowledge for their personal benefit. Parliament can only create, amend and repeal Acts of Parliament, and according to its own parliamentary constitution, the Acts created by previous Governments cannot bind successive Governments. Parliament cannot create, amend or repeal Common Laws as it does not have authority over the higher jurisdiction of Common Law. Parliament is in fact bound by the preeminent jurisdiction of Common law, which means that all its statutes must not breach Common Law.
Laws take time to evolve and remain for long periods of time. Statutes can come and go based upon the whims and agendas of Government. The fabric of a law may be copied into a statute but if later repealed as a statute, the Common Law obviously remains in force. Only a proper convention of the People or the jury of a properly convened Common Law Court de Jure may change the law though a unanimous decision.
The 1297 statute version of the Magna Carta is a perfect example. When referring to the Magna Carta, the misinformed will sometimes state that it has been repealed, but they are referring to the statute version without awareness that there is a Common Law version. The statute version has been mostly repealed by Government, but the 1215 Common Law Magna Carta is out of the reach of Parliament and remains perfectly untouched.
The land commonly known as Britain is a Common Law jurisdiction, and Parliament and the National Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland are legal incorporated entities. Legal entities of any and all natures and descriptions necessarily require voluntary agreements in order to make claim to or assert authority and control over other parties and their property. As mentioned earlier, the jurisdiction of the statutory legal system is voluntary, where legitimate members must be fully informed and lawfully consenting volunteers, being fully aware of the system into which they are, or have been, contractually obligated.
Government has the task and duty to pass lawful and just legislation in an equitable administration of the uncontroversial 'nuts and bolts' of day-to-day life. This is, of course, provided government operates legitimately; always within the legal and lawful parameters set by its own self-regulating statutes but most importantly in accordance with the common law Constitution, as defined by the 1215 Common Law Magna Carta.
Whilst the Common Laws are of the People for the protection and empowerment of the People, the statutory legislation is created and modified by the State to regulate the privileges, obligations and punishments of its consenting membership. It is the generally accepted viewpoint that Government is elected into 'office' not 'power', as they frequently like to claim. As the electorate, the intention is never to give 'power' to those that are elected, but merely to lend it to them for representation, trusting that that sovereignty should be returned to the electorate complete and intact at the end of a term of government.
Government legislation is created to both protect and limit its subjects' civil rights. Subjects can only do what the State's legislation, rules and regulations allow them to do. For the allowance of some statutory rights a subject must seek permission, through an application for a permit or license to do certain activities or practices which would otherwise be classed as illegal without a permit or license. Subjects must comply with the State's regulations or face liabilities, such as warnings, suspended sentences, fines or imprisonment.
As a voluntary subject of the State's statutory legal system, an individual is presumed to have knowingly consented to step into the much more limited jurisdiction of the increased regulations of the State's authority and control, in return for whatever benefits the State provides. As with joining any society or corporation, an individual may have to accept increased regulations as part of that society or corporation's contractual obligations, but he shall remain protected by the legal and lawful jurisdictions above, obviously including the preeminent Common Laws of the land.
To be recognised within the statutory jurisdiction of the State an individual must be registered into the system as a 'legal person'. By doing so, that individual is entering, or being entered by his parents, into a system of contract, where both parties, the State and the 'person', seek to benefit from their interactions as per the terms and conditions of what should be a fully disclosed and lawful agreement. This may involve some of an individual's sovereign liberties being conceded in order to meet the terms required to participate in the State society.
As men and women, in Common Law we are all equal and subject to all the laws of British common law jurisdiction. The State's statutory jurisdiction should rightfully only have authority over its registered citizenship. Not all members of society are of the same status, therefore, the legislative Acts of Parliament within that statutory jurisdiction do not apply equally to all members. Members must have consented and contracted with the statutory jurisdiction of Parliament in order to become subject to its regulations, whereas we are all automatically subject to the jurisdiction of the Common Law of the land.
To satisfy true and lawful consent of contract into statutory jurisdiction, the process of contract must have included full and proper disclosure, with clarity of meaning, and without deception, fraud or operation based upon assumption or presumption. Without full disclosure, a 'meeting of the minds' and lawful consent, the validity of all contracts in the statutory jurisdiction can be challenged. But it is my understanding that most people don't even know that there are two different jurisdictions of regulation in Britain, and most certainly are not aware that lawful compliance with statutes should be properly informed and agreed rather than being based upon the presumption and assumption of consent, as is the reality today.
"The theory of government is that we have surrendered some of our rights to the Government, so that the Government will protect the rights that we have not surrendered. That's the idea behind, the Government derives its powers from the consent of the governed. Does anyone… know anyone now living, who consented to the Government? The answer is no. The idea that Government derives its powers from the consent of the governed is a fiction. The fiction is that we have consented to the surrender of our rights. The reality is that our rights have been stolen from us because the Government monopolizes force. It's a sad and terrible reality but it is a reality." – U.S. Judge Andrew P. Napolitano
Parliament played no part in the creation of the people's great Common Law Magna Carta of 1215. The Great Charter was made by the People directly, to reiterate and reassert their existing Common Law rights of self-rule and sovereignty, explicitly to preclude tyranny, injustice and misgovernance by binding all Heads of State and the modus operandi of government for all time under judicium parium - equal justice - the Trial by Jury justice system of the Law of the Land.
The British Parliament has always been bound by the superior jurisdiction of the Common Law Constitution of the 1215 Magna Carta, with the additional but obviously forgotten promise of the Monarch to protect the laws of the land, as detailed in the Coronation Oath.

World Building in Memoir and Family History Books
Biff Barnes
In science fiction and fantasy, writers refer to it as "world building". They must create a believable universe that allows a reader to feel as if she were there. But the problem is the same for writers dealing with less fanciful settings.
Strunk and White observed in The Elements of Style, that, "If those who have studied the art of writing are in accord on one point it is on this: the surest way to arouse and hold the reader is to be specific, definite and concrete. The greatest writers…are effective largely because they deal in particulars and report the details that matter."
That specific, definite, concreteness grows in large part out of the author's ability to give his reader a sense of the time and place about which he's writing. It's a challenge in fiction, certainly, but it's just as important in non-fiction like memoir or family history.
The memoirist or family historian must transport his reader back in time to a day, and possibly a way of life, gone by.
One can capture the sense of place by creating an image that allows the reader to feel what it was like to be there. Harper Lee, in her Pulitzer Prize-winning novel To Kill a Mockingbird, places her readers on the town square in Maycombin the 1930s, where the story is set, by choosing a few specific details.
"Maycomb was an old town, but it was a tired old town when I first knew it. In rainy weather the streets turned to red slop; grass grew on the sidewalks., the courthouse sagged in the square. Somehow, it was hotter then: a black dog suffered on a summer's day; bony mules hitched to Hoover carts flicked flies in the sweltering shade of the live oak trees on the square."
An author who may not possess the same literary skill as Lee might choose to rely simply on a carefully chosen set of facts to create a setting for his reader.
Robert L. Duffus began his career in journalism in 1911, joining the San Francisco Bulletin, immediately after graduating from Stanford University. When he wrote his memoir of that career, Tower of Jewels: Memories of San Francisco, he used a very simple, but effective, technique to carry his readers back to the days in which he began.
"The World Almanac in 1911 made two bold statements: first, 'Students of the industry assert that the day is not far distant when the power-driven wagon, in its various forms, will entirely displace horses in the great centers of population'; second, 'The movement in behalf of universal peace between the nations has made great progress in recent years in the interest it has created and in the number and character of its advocates.'"
"That excellent reference book furnished other information that is still of significance. The United States produced 190,000 automobiles during 1911. Its population was 92,174,515. The average income of bankers and brokers, those sinful children of luxury, as some of us impetuous youngsters regarded them, was $7,726. The public debt was $2,831,330,305.66, and it was expected that the 66 cents would soon be paid off. In 1911, Congress appropriated $663,725,794.84, and some persons said the 84 sense was sheer waste.
There was no Federal income tax in 1911, although one was soon to be authorized by constitutional amendment. I supported this amendment, in the belief that I would never have enough income to pay any tax. The national death rate was about 15 a thousand. In San Francisco – a fascinatingly dangerous place – it was about 20 a thousand. First class postage was two cents an ounce domestic, five cents an ounce foreign. Mail went overseas by steamer.
In 1911 Calbraith P. Rogers made a record-breaking airplane flight across the continent: he left New York City on Sept. 17 and arrived in Pasadena, California, on Nov. 5.
In 1912 California was to be the sixth state to adopt woman suffrage.
Most of these things seemed natural and normal to me in 1911 and 1912. Those that weren't natural and normal were news, some of which I wrote."
In writing your own past in memoir or family history, don't ignore the importance of world building. Make sure the reader can experience the world in which the events you describe occurred.

July 30th is Friendship Day: Why Friends Are Important for Seniors
There's no doubt that family is important. Our mothers, fathers, siblings, and other family members play a major role in our lives. We rely on them for all sorts of things—help with the children, someone to have a cup of coffee with, and someone to lean on when life is hard. But, new research shows that for older adults, friends may be even more important than family.
The Friendship Study.
Recently, researchers at Michigan State University looked at the results of two surveys that were responded to by around 280,000 people. The surveys asked questions about their relationships, health, and happiness.
The results of the studies showed that older adults who valued their friendships were able to function better. In addition, people whose friendships were rocky were more likely to suffer from chronic conditions.
Tips to Help Older Adults Build Strong Friendships.
It can be hard for older adults to keep up with friends. Illnesses may keep them housebound. As a result, they may not be able to take part in social activities with others. But, staying connected with friends is what keeps friendships strong. Without spending time together, friendships can fade away. But, there are ways you can help your aging relative stay close with their friends, such as:
- Throw a Luncheon: Invite the senior's friends to the house for lunch. Assist the senior with cleaning the house and preparing food. Help them to answer the door and welcome people in.
- Teach Them to Use Social Media: Help the older adult to set up social media accounts to connect with their friends online. Show them how to send messages, post pictures, and see what others are posting.
- Take Them to Gatherings: If your family member's friends meet for coffee every Monday, drive them to the café so they can enjoy a cup with friends. Sit at a nearby table so you are present to assist them if needed, but don't encroach on their visit.
- Take Them to Visit: Drive the senior to their friends' houses for a visit. If possible, drop them off and arrange to be back at a certain time to pick them up. If the person is likely to need your help during the visit, try giving them time alone with their friend by sitting in another room while you read a book, catch up on emails, or surf the Internet.
Home care providers can help older adults to spend time with friends, too. A home care provider can drive the older adult to social gatherings or friends' houses. A home care provider can even help them to entertain friends at home. Home care providers can clean the house, make lunch, and assist with cleaning up afterward.
If you or an aging loved one are considering hiring professional home care in Alabaster, AL, call and talk to the staff at Lipford Home Care (205) 623-5700.

In a surprising move, the recent Prempro trial that was about to move to the second phase was abruptly ended after Wyeth was granted a motion for mistrial.
Court documents were ordered sealed and there is no news as to what prompted this sudden turn about, but it is certain now that the verdict for $1.5 million awarded the plaintiff in the first phase is now history.
We will continue to follow this case but this is another win for Wyeth in the early stages of this litigation.

It was a warm spring evening in London when I first saw her.
She was walking down Oxford Street, with long flowing blond hair, a little black dress and a smile like sunshine.
My hands were shaking. I could barely get my words out but I knew I had to meet her or risk regretting it forever.
She heard somebody say "hello" and she looked up.
You could say this is the start of a beautiful love story.
It's also the start of Jiggle Digital – a digital agency that's created campaigns reaching tens of millions of people a week, crafting charismatic brand identities for client's in every corner of the globe.
I'm Andrew and I'd love to tell you more.
Victoria was a successful digital artist and website designer when we met in 2011. I'd been a lawyer for many years but had quit the law and was returning to my passion and background in marketing.
I was working with various companies as I wanted to create a new website portal but was disheartened by my experience. Poor design outcomes, lack of communication and extreme delay was killing my spirit.
I wanted to create a product that would put a smile on people's faces.
I imagined how my audience would be so delighted by the experience that they would tell everyone they know.
Yet nobody seemed to understand how to do that.
Has a brand ever literally "demanded" your attention and you find yourself wanting to know more?
Perhaps you just feel so connected with their message that you buy their product or service without even really giving it a second thought?
Now that's great marketing.
How does this happen?
Well, we aren't interested in dull facts and figures or other product information.
It's because we want enchanting stories and breathtaking visuals.
We want to belong.
We want to feel.
We want to fall in love.
Jiggle Digital was born in 2011 when Victoria created our first client website in a tiny apartment overlooking the Thames.
The deep red sun set across the river as we talked about our hopes and dreams for the future.
We wanted to create a company built on integrity and trust.
And to be undeniably good.
1. Create beautiful design and magnetic storytelling that reveals every brands inner magic.
2. Be creatively curious and design original solutions that other's ignore.
3. To capture the imagination and ignite emotional connections.
We know that at the core of your brand is a heart and a story.
Most businesses aren't achieving optimal results because they are not connecting with people on an emotional level.
Marketing is just like a relationship. The more you open your heart, tell your story and give – the more love you receive.
This is why we help to reinvent brands so they ooze their true personality using unforgettable creative.
Even if you are currently getting solid results these can be improved using relationship based marketing and enhanced branding techniques.
We've never considered marketing to be the process of finding a customer.
It's about developing genuine relationships with people, which result in them becoming customers.
We've grown since those early days.
We're now a team of web designers, technical developers in all languages, strategists and creative media experts. Our reach and client base extends through Europe, North America, South America, Asia, Australasia– and we keep growing.
We've achieved this because we understand people.
We come from a diverse range of backgrounds from marketing, to art, design and development, from fashion, modelling and music to legal and business.
We use responsive "experience" web design, content marketing, email marketing, social media, video marketing, SEO, paid advertising and much more to help build word class brand identities.
Relationships matter – we've built our whole business around it.
You may ask yourself:
Do your consumers look forward to seeing you?
Do they share your values?
Do they really care about you?
Will they speak highly of you to others?
If you can imagine transforming the relationship with your audience to become a "brand" that everyone loves – let's connect and see if we'd be a good fit to work with each other.
Jiggle Digital is a London digital agency founded by Andrew Spence. Our team help brands create world class identities and grow their digital influence on the web. These are our main services:
Victoria: Design is a central element of successful branding. Robust and versatile design can give brands in decline a new lease of life. Without a doubt, brands with the strongest, most memorable image are those that effectively merge different design elements from the logo, images, typography, and layout to weave a compelling and unforgettable story.
Victoria: When we work on branding projects we don't just design/redesign logos. We consider the whole customer experience looking at every touch point. We create an entire multi-platform strategy and see how we can delight on every level through every process. This process involves a lot of research but is essential and gets great results.
Victoria: I don't believe so – not if you do it right. User experience (UX) is as much about the relationships and interactions between a brand and its customers as it is about the design of a product. Social media has disrupted the traditional principles of marketing, so it's become more important than ever to make the interactions between brands and their customers transparent and seamless and great design can help with this. Against this background, user experience is more than interface design or usability – although these are important. It's all about the quality of experience consumers have when they interact with your brand at different points in every step of the purchase cycle.
Andrew: Of course. Don't we all get influenced by various things around us? An interesting study called the "Strawberry jam experiment," involved a psychologist who wanted to find out if preferences for strawberry jam would be the same for students as they are for food experts. When students were asked to sample the different brands of strawberry jam and rank them in order of preference, the results were the same as the food experts. But when another group was asked to not only rank but also explain their decisions with written questionnaires, their choices were totally different. In the first study, because nothing was expected of them, people were on autopilot. In the second study, where they had to deliberately think about it, they made different choices. Our decisions are different based on the way we think and our thinking changes based on the stimuli offered to us.
Andrew: Yes. It's measured using different metrics such as visitor flow, time spent on filling out forms, time spent on each page and such. Overall, visitor engagement affects conversions; high visitor engagement allows users to complete the checkout process. Low visitor engagement is caused by poor design, which creates plenty of roadblocks that keep visitors from completing the checkout process or taking the action you want them to take. Complex forms, incoherent navigation, lack of a clear calls to action, too many entry and exit pages, lack of creativity all reduce engagement.
Andrew: Many brands have a great product and they assume the product will sell itself. In most cases this is very wrong. What happens is that you end up with a good product and a wishy-washy website and brand that just does nothing to highlight the true value of the product. Without a strong value proposition, even the best product won't convert as well as it should. A conversion-focused design will narrow down why people should care about your product and capture visitors' attention with the right layout, colour, background, call to action and use of persuasive design techniques such as encapsulation, directional cues, and contrast.
Andrew: It's made it easier if you do it right. In marketing – and this is true with any industry or niche, people buy through relationships. Some people sell when playing Golf, yet others sell during their social interactions at the club. They don't say, "Hey, I have this product that I want you to buy." They sell by talking about their business and their products, by telling humorous stories. They never ask anyone to buy – not "directly." When people can count on you, they'll come to you when they need something you're offering, when they have a problem and they know you can solve it, when they have a question that you can answer. You're building a relationship. That's the way products and services are sold online – through building relationships. Seeking the attention of an audience, becoming one of them, telling jokes even if they're stale, providing enough information that the audience can remember. Earn their trust and leave a route map that people use to seek you out – social has made it easier to do that.
Andrew: Prices vary considerably as it depends what is involved– if we feel that we are aligned with your vision we'll ask you what you are looking to achieve and your budget and see if we can offer a solution within your budget. Knowing a project budget at an early stage allows us to assess what is possible and whether we can get involved. Our aim is always to get the best possible ROI for each client.
Victoria: We never compete on price – we've always competed on value. Aldo Gucci said, "the bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price has faded from memory." It's true. Generally in this Industry, the lower the price goes, the poorer the quality. Competing on value is, we believe, the key to our ongoing growth and why we've retained more than 95% of our clients.
Andrew: Not everyone. We only work on projects where we are aligned with the company. We also need to know we can make a meaningful impact and subject to budget. We've turned down 400K projects because we haven't been aligned with the company and taken on projects with tiny budgets so it all depends. We'll know this quickly and won't waste any time in identifying this.
Victoria: We'd love to but we are still a relatively small agency so we spend our time creating. Our existing clients meet on Skype, through calls and other online channels when this is necessary to progress the project and this works very well.
Andrew: We decided that we don't need to show a client list to impress and "win" new business. We respect our client's privacy and don't feel comfortable using their name to encourage others that we are the right Agency for them. If people like what we stand for, they'll "get" us and that's who we want to work with.
Victoria: No 😊 I work on Design with a team and Andrew works on digital strategy with a different team. All projects involve collaborative elements during the process but for the most part we don't work in the same area.
Andrew: The deepest recesses of my mind. We'd spent the day trying to come up with ideas for names. We wanted something that people would remember and would bring a smile to people's faces. Later that night I woke up at 4.44am and the name Jiggle Digital was just in my head. I got up and wrote it down on a pad and then went back to sleep. The next day we asked about 50 people what they thought and overwhelmingly everyone loved it so we kept it.
Victoria: We've had many breakthroughs. At first it was getting initial interest. Then it was based on expanding our client list and then retaining business. We started getting some big results with campaigns and that's when things went a bit crazy and we seemed to get "luckier". A big breakthrough came though when we were contacted by a Hollywood actress and hugely successful recording artist in the same week asking to work with us. That's when we realised that we were doing something right.
Victoria: There is a lot of competition. But, we really believe in what we do and we get results. Many digital agencies focus on analytics and data. But, that all comes later. You need to take a step back and focus on what's most important – human emotion. We begin at the start which is influencing the audience perception of the brand using unique creative. This creates the feelings they experience that will determine their behaviour and decisions which can then be measured and improved based on data.
Andrew: You'd be surprised at how many very large brands instruct newer smaller digital agencies. Why? They understand that in order to innovate you need creativity. All businesses, even the huge digital agencies get complacent. They stop innovating. They get stale and start playing safe. They become the very opposite of what created their success which creates a knock-on effect for the client. That's why newer agencies are often considered to be fresh, creative, agile and the preferred choice for many.
Andrew: To grow your business, it's important that you work on it and not for it. This is a fundamental principle of successful entrepreneurship—you are not creating a job for yourself, you're building a long-term business. The problem with working in your business is that you get so caught up in the minute day to day dynamics that you forget to look for and leverage opportunities for growth. So, what do you do to focus on growth? Identify the core business functions that require your input and that are essential for growth and focus only on those. Sometimes you will need to get your hands dirty but it is important to have your eyes on those activities that are geared toward real, tangible growth, for example marketing, networking or raising funds.
Victoria: I graduated from University with a degree in linguistics so speak Russian, Lithuanian, Spanish and English fluently. I also speak a bit of Polish. I speak to my Mum in Russian, my Dad in Lithuanian and Andrew in English so dinners with the family are always interesting!
Victoria: I'm a big film fan. I enjoy indie films and get a lot of inspiration from them. I love new experiences so Andrew and I both travel when we can, go to music concerts, look at beautiful architecture. I've always loved Art so like to draw beautiful things. I like fashion which is influential in my work and love flowers, especially peonies.
Andrew: When I was younger I'd compete in the 400 metres sprint. Nowadays I challenge myself with longer running events, going to the gym and tennis. I like the feeling of just switching off and focusing on being in that one moment whether its running, lifting weights or competing in a tennis tournament. I also like to write poetry, and have practiced transcendental mediation every day for over twenty years. I believe that every person has the possibility of achieving true bliss through connecting to a higher spiritual purpose.
Victoria: I'd say just to go for it. Immerse yourself in what you love and practice. Don't be afraid to experiment. Spend time around others who share the same passion and try to gain experience in any design environment. I loved creative subjects from an early age so spent lots of my time drawing, learning and practising. I started early but it's never too late to do something you love.
Victoria: Happiness. "Living life, the way you want to." Everything else is unimportant when compared to this definition. I'm so grateful to get the opportunity to create, work with talented people and do what I love every day.
Victoria: We've been fortunate to have superb and creative projects to work on. I love any project that makes people think. There is a lot of "sameness" in the design world so departing from that and creating unusual experiences excites me.
Andrew: Any project that people really love. You know, life is about experiences. If you are doing something positive, making a difference and helping people then you can't really get much better than that. Any brand in any niche with any product of service can develop a hugely popular following with creativity and strategic direction.

I was the lone person buying a birthday card at the local drugstore on Saturday while they were three-deep in the Mother's Day card section. At the butcher, there was a dad with two toddlers clinging to him asking the butcher how long he would have to cook the Chicken Cordon Bleu, while asking someone on the other end of his cell phone how many pounds of sausage to buy. The grocery store aisles and checkout lines were jam-packed with what looked like mostly dads with confused looks on their faces as they peered into their shopping carts like they were looking into a dangerous abyss.
The line at the deli was longer than usual—dads again, talking sports and asking each other, "What the heck is chipotle chicken?" "How about them Yankees?" "Are you going to watch the Islanders tonight?" "Is there really a difference between Hellman's mayonnaise and Miracle Whip?"
It's not easy being a dad or a grandpa or an offspring the day before Mother's Day. I could see that. But thanks, everyone, for making sure we had a great day. Now you can sit back and relax: Father's Day is next month, and you have a whole year to recover from the second Sunday in May!

ODP Teams Participate in Sport Source Showcase
The Sport Source® Annual Showcase is one of the top college recruiting events in Texas, and it is held each year over the first weekend of December. Formerly known as the Junior-Senior Showcase, everyone has now come to know the event as The Sport Source® Showcase and Clinic.
The event attracts local, state, regional, national, ODP, and international teams. Each year, approximately 300 college coaches representing NCAA (Divisions I, II, & III), NAIA, NCCAA, and NJCAA attend, making the event one to remember. If your goal is to pursue a college education and play soccer at the collegiate level, you've come to the right place.
The goal is to provide players and teams with a competitive atmosphere and give the attending college coaches an opportunity to watch and recruit aspiring college-bound student-athletes who are interested in playing at the collegiate level.
AGE GROUPS: The Showcase is open to all competitive U15-U19 boys and girls teams, with priority acceptance going to juniors and seniors. ODP elects only to send U17 and U16 boys and girls for participation in showcase tournaments.
The Sport Source College Showcase was cancelled last December due to field closures caused by the bad ice storm Dallas-Fort Worth experienced. Unfortunately, the event could only be rescheduled in the middle of the spring club season, and during high school play-offs. As a result of these conflicts, we offered the event to our '97 (U17) and '98 (U16) ODP pool players based on player availability, since most of our ODP pool players had one form of conflict or another.
Below is a report from the Sport Source Showcase held Mar. 29-30, 2014:
Head Coach, John "JT" Thomas: '97 Boys
Game two – NTX ODP '97 Boys vs Texas Lightning 98B Black (Score 1-3)
Game two – NTX ODP '97 Boys vs FC Bayern McKinney (Score 0-5)
Head Coach, Tyler Powell: '97 Girls
We played against a strong Sting Blue 97G team in our first game, and the girls played well throughout the game. We came up short in the attacking end but did create several goal-scoring opportunities. The Sting team was able to capitalize and found the back of the net three times, resulting in a 3-0 loss for our girls.
In our second game, we played Andromeda FC 97G and bounced back by scoring two goals in the opening minutes. It was a back-and-forth game in which we came out on top, 2-1.
Our last game was against American Eagles 97G West, and was a very even game throughout. Both teams created many chances and the American Eagles team was able to capitalize. The final was a 1-0 loss for our ODP team.
Head Coach, Kevin White: '98 Boys
The second game saw the North Texas ODP squad matched up against Hurst United FC 98B Black. Down a few players, the state team was outmatched physically. With just one sub, they kept it close, but Hurst would eventually pull away for a 5-1 victory.
The final game, against Liverpool 98B Babel (Ravestijn), was the most entertaining game of the weekend. North Texas would go up 1-0 early, only to see the score leveled by a good goal from a quick switch of play by Liverpool. Just before halftime, the North Texas team managed a scrappy goal by not allowing Liverpool to clear it and finally putting it away. On nearly the last kick of the half, however, Liverpool played a forward in on a breakaway, and the half ended, 2-2. One goal from Liverpool in the second half would prove enough to hold on in a hard-fought game that would see it finish 3-2 to the Reds. Overall, it was a good weekend with three good performances for the North Texas 98 BODP team. There were definitely things to work on still, but effort was not one of them.
Head Coach, Kenny Jones: 98 Girls
The first game was really about the players getting on the same page. It was important that the girls focus on executing their role within the theme of our spring training. Fortunately, we had another smart and attentive group. It only took them about one half to really start working well together and working toward the goals we set before the game. The team we played was very organized and well-coached. It was a great first challenge for the girls, because they really had to be thoughtful and dynamic with their play in order to compete well. The game finished with a 1-0 victory over Andromeda 98G White.
The second game of the day presented another good challenge; playing against a strong athletic team, with some impactful players. The girls responded well. They played well on both sides of the ball (offensively and defensively). They were definitely more composed and relaxed during this game. They seem to be more familiar with what we were trying to accomplish as a team and within their individual roles. They were more efficient with their chances and came away with a 4-1 win over Sting North 98G.
The third game featured an athletic, well-coached opponent This was another very good challenge for the team, requiring the girls had to respond to other team's half time adjustments. It took a few minutes, but the girls adapted well and were thoughtful with their play. After scoring in the first half, the girls got another goal late in the second half and won the game, 2-0, over Dallas Rush 97G.
In the final game, the girls started where they ended the last game. They played very well together and scored a good goal within the first few minutes of the first half. The opposing team was very energetic and pressured well all over the field. The girls did a great job of staying calm under such pressure and passed the ball very well to each other to relieve pressure. They finished the first half with three goals and ended up winning the game, 4-1, over Solar Chelsea 98G Gold.
This was a great event to help this age group's coaching staff evaluate and provide feedback to the players as this group prepares for regional camp this summer. It was an opportunity for the girls to play in front of college coaches and gain some experience in a showcase event. It was also a great teaching tool for the girls to show that they can focus on our spring training objectives, improve individually and as a team, and still get quality results.

This could be you!
Ski touring week in Stranda
Would you like to do some ski touring but you are not familiar with the area? Do you dream about skiing down Mt Slogen? Then you should join us for a ski touring week in Stranda. We have put together a great skiing week for the dedicated skier who's keen to explore the Norwegian fjord region on a pair of skis.
The Sunnmøre alps is famous for its alpine and jagged peaks and stunning fjord views. The mountains peak at around 1,500 m and, when the conditions are right, we have the opportunities to ski all the way down to the fjord. Stranda makes a great starting place for ski touring in this area, and is only an hour drive from Ørsta/Volda, Geiranger, Stryn, Stordal, Hjørundfjord and Hornindal.
Many first ascents in the area were made by famous British mountaineers like Wiliam Cecil Slingsby and Charles Watson Patchell in the early 1900s. They came back year after year and have left a lasting mark on the area. Patchell also set up Patchell-hut at the foot of Mt Slogen, whereas Slingsby established his own climbing route(Slingsby-route) up from Villa Norangdal to the top of Mt Kvitegga.

In a fast-paced world, the pressure is so intense that many people feel ready to explode. Illustrated by an ongoing pressure cooker recall, it's clear that this extremely common kitchen appliance would agree with that sentiment.
That's why manufacturers and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) have issued more than one pressure cooker recall. Most recently, the CPSC has recalled specific models of more than 100,000 Double Insight Instant Pots, in addition to a number of other voluntary manufacturer recalls.
What is a pressure cooker used for?
A common appliance in many kitchens, pressure cookers are a quick, time-saving tool that removes the hassle from cooking dinner in a pinch. Pressure cookers, as the name implies, use high pressure inside a sealed container to trap heated gas, causing water to boil faster.
This also allows a 30-minute meal to be prepared in as little as 10 minutes. While its time-saving usefulness is well-known and often advertised on shopping channels, many people remain only semi-conscious of the slumbering danger within these powerful pots.
Why are pressure cookers recalled?
Pressure Cooker Recall
- Alcan Pressure Cookers
- Welbilt Electronic Pressure Cookers
- Manttra Pressure Cookers
- HSN Bella Cucina Zip Cookers
- HSN Ultrex-brand Pressure Cookers
- Power Pressure Cooker XL
- Maxi-Matic Pressure Cookers
- Tristar Products—Power Pressure Cooker XL
- Fagor America Cookers
- Tabletops Unlimited Cookers
- Maxi-Matic Cookers
- Wolfgang Puck Worldwide Cookers
- Double Insight Instant Pot Pressure Cooker
- 3-Squares Tim3 Machin3 Cookers
Poorly made or incorrectly used pressure cookers can pose a serious threat to consumers. This threat is so pertinent, that in April of this year, Vancouver bomb disposal was called to investigate a pressure cooker found abandoned on the side of the road, and some popular video games, such as the Fallout franchise, use pressure cookers in crafting weapons.
When sealed, this type of reaction is because a pressure cooker can reach pressures up to 15 pounds-per-square-inch (PSI) higher than normal and cooks food at up to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. If the seal is incomplete or the pressure cooker is not made of reliable materials, several types of injury may occur.
What are common pressure cooker injuries?
One of the most common pressure cooker injuries is second and third-degree burns. In one case, a defective pressure expelled its ingredients, resulting in the amputation of an infant's leg. Electrocution has also occurred in other incidents.
Pressure cooker-related injuries often arise from one of three issues, such as:
- Pressure cooker spills – A faulty seal may cause the contents of the pressure cooker to spill out violently while still under high pressure and at dangerous temperatures.
- Pressure cooker explosions – Poor or weak construction materials may result in the pressure cooker exploding from its own built up pressure.
- Pressure cooker shocks – Poor insulating materials may have been used in the construction, resulting in a pressure cooker that can give severe shocks when touched.
Most manufacturers will recall a product that has caused consumer injury, but some companies, such as Tristar Products Inc.'s Power Pressure Cooker XL, continue to sell products despite adverse events. The CPSC has issued a pressure cooker recall based on types of defects, volume of products sold and severity of product risks.
Are there pressure cooker safety precautions?
Although there are injuries arising from faulty pressure cookers and manufacturers who refuse to remove unsafe products from shelves, most pressure cookers are safe, time-saving cooking appliances that are perfect for making meals in an instant.
Like any other important appliance purchase, the best thing to do to prevent injury or damage in the kitchen is to read product reviews. Be sure to search of the pressure cooker manufacturer to see if there's an associated recall history.

Get Reviews of Alice in Chains, Baths, Laura Marling and More in This Week's New Release Roundup
Published May 28, 2013Buying music can be expensive. So before you visit your local record store, check out our reviewers' recommendations to see which of this week's newest releases belong in your personal music library. Then, head on over to our Recently Reviewed section to read reviews of all of this week's newest releases.
From the rise of grunge and hard rock, to drug addiction and the passing of band members, '90s rock veterans Alice in Chains have been through it all. The second album since their return to activity, The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here, expands on the band's brand of minimalist metal, while delving into themes of religious extremism and socio-political hostilities, to create a mature and thoughtful album.
Will Wiesenfeld mixes the pop sonics of Björk and Kate Bush with the bleak words of a Robert Smith journal entry on Obsidian, the goth-tinged new album from Baths, while Laura Marling proves she's a force to be reckoned with on her fourth LP, Once I Was an Eagle.
Post-dubstep pioneers Mount Kimbie leave no sonic door unopened on the mesmerizing Cold Spring Fault Less Youth, and trip-hop hero Tricky steps back into the spotlight on the reflective False Idols.
And finally, punked-up SoCal fuzz-rocker King Tuff has re-released his 2008 lo-fi debut, Was Dead. But how does the revisited album stack up next to newer releases by the likes of garage icons Ty Segall and Thee Oh Sees? You'll have to read on to find out.

Hi, so I've been feeling quite blue and sick recently, and also depressed, for some stuff.
Mostly school and relationship.
For school, turned out it's good cause I've been complaining about this lecturer and his weird thinking and attitude, turns out I'm might be as weird as he is because apparently, he thinks my
pile of rubbish work is good. Thought of quitting but then after hearing what my lecturer's reasons for not giving up on this course, I thought maybe shouldn't be so pessimistic and just ask God to help me through. Don't waste my 2013's education and be a poly drop out.
As for relationship, didn't turn out very well. I'm officially single now. Does anyone wanna date me?

Nothing, just nonsense.
Hi, here's a rare photo of me wearing spectacles.
I now have started to never feel guilty about not blogging anymore :x
It's not that I'm too lazy or what, I just don't have anything much to say.
School is normal, life is normal, Singapore is normal, Malaysia is normal..
So, what else can I blog about?
My life is soooo uninteresting right now.I've nothing to blog about (apart from requested hair style post which I am still procrastinating about them).
My life right now, every single week is:
Weekdays -> wake up, go to school, come home, dinner, do homework, sleep
Saturday -> wake up, slack/do homework/annoy my mom a bit, dinner, slack, sleep
Sunday -> wake up, church stuff, go home, dinner, back to singapore
I miss my honeybees, I miss hanging out with them D:
I want a getaway to idk, a chalet or hotel or something.
Just do girls stuff like, eating chatting laughing swimming sleeping camhoing slacking movies pedicures..
College had made us separate and I miss both of them badly..
I miss seeing them and talking to them everyday and never got sick of it..
Ahhh, right now I'm just slacking on my bed typing this and intend to watch running man after this.
I should be doing my work but nevermind, still have time, maybe after an episode......
I've been stalking EXO lately and erm I suddenly think baekhyun and chanyeol are too cute.
This boy group ah, damn teruk. Too many hot guys...
I wonder how SM manages to find all these hot stuff to put in TVXQ SuJu SHINee and EXO.
And the girls too.
As much as I like YG (BB & 2NE1) , I think I still like SM artiste the best.
Oh, and who said I have nothing to blog about, look at all the blabbers and nonsense I typed.

Thursday Updates - Fan Girl.
Wassup people.
I've been neglecting this space for awhile.
Had been lazy.
Before anything else, I've been hooked on this song since this morning.
我閉上眼睛 貼著你心跳呼吸
而此刻地球 只剩我們而已
你微笑的唇型 總勾著我的心
每一秒初吻 我每一秒都想要吻你
就這樣 愛你愛你愛你 隨時都要一起
我喜歡 愛你外套味道 還有你的懷裡
把我們 衣服鈕扣互扣 那就不用分離
美好愛情 我就愛這樣貼近 因為你
有時沒生氣 故意鬧脾氣
你的緊張在意 讓我覺得安心
從你某個角度 我總看見自己
到底你懂我 或其實我本來就像你
Repeat Chorus
想變成你的氧氣 溜進你身體裡
你有多麼寶貝 我愛你
Repeat Chorus
我們愛情 會一直沒有距離 最美麗
而此刻地球 只剩我們而已
你微笑的唇型 總勾著我的心
每一秒初吻 我每一秒都想要吻你
就這樣 愛你愛你愛你 隨時都要一起
我喜歡 愛你外套味道 還有你的懷裡
把我們 衣服鈕扣互扣 那就不用分離
美好愛情 我就愛這樣貼近 因為你
有時沒生氣 故意鬧脾氣
你的緊張在意 讓我覺得安心
從你某個角度 我總看見自己
到底你懂我 或其實我本來就像你
Repeat Chorus
想變成你的氧氣 溜進你身體裡
你有多麼寶貝 我愛你
Repeat Chorus
我們愛情 會一直沒有距離 最美麗
Anyway, life's been not bad I guess. Probably my friends read my blog cause right after I posted that we went back being like how we were before. Or maybe I was just over thinking, again.
Homework was okay too. Had fun taking photos for studio work. And if you followed me on Instagram (@felindabling), you would have saw my drawing of my moving castle. If not, here is a photo of it.
Went and buy materials from Art Friend with MF (my roommate) and other classmates at at orchard and one of my friend's bf came and find her. I was shocked when I saw him cause he look scarily exactly like someone I know, yet I cannot put a finger to it. In the end, I remembered that face and went to find on facebook to find that he was just a guy that look crazily alike with my ex senior in SSI. Even MF thought that looked alike!
Today's lesson was boring. Ergonomics. Lesson from 9-11am only. Had maggie mee for lunch with eunice and ta pao for XH joyjoy & ger cause they still having lesson. Eunice and I carried 4 cups of cup noodlesand walked from cheers to our class to find that ALAN is in class wth. So we had to eat outside studio and it was damn embarrassing cause people keep passing by and I'm sure they'd think we are cray cray cause eunice and I had 4 cups of noodles with us /.\ their noodles became all dry but we cant help them, well, we walked halfway to class and decided that they soup was too little and it'll be too dry and actually took the effort to walk back to cheers to refill hot water. After awhile, 3 of them sneaked out from the class and ate a few mouthful of noodle and ran back into class cause ALAN was looking for them hahahahaa.
After eating, eunice and I went and bought the pink magnum from cheers. It's so expensive T^T but it's so nice. Champagne flavour! and it's pink! and JB don't have! Actually wanted to try the black one cause like very cool but then it's expresso. Scared too bitter :/
Then I went home and sleep and did some homework for colour studies that doesnt link to colours at all wth weird LARRY is weird (*note that I mention my lecturer's name in Caps so that you all know they are not my friends).
Oh, also, I've been raving and obsessed about this Japanese guy (real people, not some kind of pop idol or anime character, I promise) on twitter (@felindabling) who is bongqiuqiu's hair stylist at cleo - shiotsuka harutaka. Why?
Because, i was him at JB central and I kena electric shocked. LOLOLOL
I was sitting at starbucks waiting for MF to go back singapore together when I spotted this guy with Japanese fashion (shades, long wavy black hair, moustache, super baggy black polka dotted pants, white top and a hat) and I saw another 3-4 guys following him behind. Then shio looked over at my direction and I gasped. wtf, it's shio *screams in brain* *omgasdfgghjkl so handsome irl!!!!!!* and I tweeted I saw him with my hands shaking. I felt like I saw a celebrity and I can hardly contain my excitement. I wanted to run up to him and ask if he is shio eventhough I am 100% he is shio.
After I reach my room in sg, I posted a photo on instagram saying I saw shio and tagged him. To my surprise, HE LIKED AND REPLIED MEEEEEEE!!!! I was totally flabbergasted. I was in class then. I almost screamed and jumped up my seat, I felt like eunhyuk replied my tweet hahahahaha and you all know how much I like eunhyuk. Shit I have a thing for older foreign country men. hahahaha sorry local guys.
And then in the evening, I saw this:
This is the guy who was wearing the japanese fashion that I mentioned just now.
And at night, I was stalking qq in hopes to find photos of shio when I saw the link to cleo's fb page. Clicked in and I found their facebook account :/
I'm such a stalker. Beware. HAHAHHAHAHAHA
Contemplating if I should add to which MF said, just add lah, nvm one mah hahaha and after watching an episode of Running man, I came back to facebook and saw these *silent screams*
Not enough?
This is what happened this evening.
I saw qq tweeting that she's going to cleo to do her hair and I just anyhow tweeted this, not holding hopes that she would see it. AND THEN.
SAY WHAAAAAAAT!?!!! (whaaaaaat is my current favourite phase)
Ok, girls, go away yah, shio likes me, shio iz mine.
(but I actually like the idea of having a hair stylist for a husband/boyfriend - free hair treatment, you know)
be right back while I scream into my pillow.
Ok, I'm back.
I actually thought of just dropping by cleo today (cause joyjoy and ger is going marina to take photos) in hopes to getting a glimpse of him :x but I never go lah cause my contact lens too dry, need to go back badly to dispose them. But I rub rub my eyes and then they came out on the mrt, so I walked back half blind hahaha
And so, this is the story of me fangirling.
(This girl ah, damn teruk.)

Gaien House, a 52 year old condominium located in a prime position across the street from the Olympic stadium site and Meiji Jingu Baseball Stadium, is about to be demolished and replaced with a 22-storey building containing apartments, commercial/retail space and childcare facilities. The project forms part of the Jingu-Gaien District Redevelopment, which also includes the demolition of the old Kasumigaoka Public Housing blocks, and the construction of new buildings for the Japanese Olympic Committee and Japan Sport Council.
The Jingu-Gaien District covers a 64.3 hectare site spanning three wards – Minato, Shibuya and Shinjuku. In 1926 the Meiji Jingu-Gaien district was the first location in Japan to be designated as a Scenic District. As a result, building heights were restricted to no more than 15 meters. In 2013 pressure from the Japan Sport Council saw the city designate the area as a redevelopment promotion zone, and maximum heights were lifted to 80 meters.
After the 2020 Summer Olympics, the Meiji-Jingu Baseball Stadium and Chichibunomiya Rugby Stadium may also be redeveloped. The current Meiji-Jingu Stadium was built in 1926.
A-5 District (Gaien House Redevelopment)
Gaien House was built in 1964 by the Japan Housing Corporation. It was initially used to house foreign press for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. After the games, the apartments were sold off individually to Japanese buyers. The 7-storey building contained 196 apartments. Most of the apartments were 56 sqm (603 sq.ft) and either 1 or 2-Bedroom types. Over the past 20 years, sale prices in the building have averaged 650,000 Yen/sqm. In comparison, the same apartments in a brand new building on this site and in this current market could easily fetch two ~ three times that price.
Redevelopment discussions began over 10 years ago. There were two major stumbling blocks to redevelopment:
- The existing Kasumigaoka Apartment complex located across the road from Gaien House meant that any future development on the Gaien House site would have to follow strict sunlight rules, limiting the scale of a new building.
- Not all residents of Gaien House were initially in agreement with the redevelopment plans. Various redevelopment consultants and developers had tried and failed over the years to convince residents to vote in favour of redevelopment.
Thanks to some lucky timing, residents are now set to benefit from the recent relaxation to building heights which will allow them to build a much larger building, while the conversion of the former Kasumigaoka Apartments to a park will mean no more worries about sunlight rules.
The new building will be 80 meters tall and 22-storeys. It will contain approximately 410 apartments. Construction is scheduled to start in Spring 2017, with completion by Spring 2020.
Mitsui Fudosan Residential is in charge of the development, with planning by Nikken Housing System.
A-4 District (Japanese Olympic Committee and Japan Sport Council Buildings)
The Japanese Olympic Committee (JOC) Building will be 60 meters tall and 14 storeys. Construction is scheduled to start in 2017 with completion by Spring 2019.
The Japan Sport Council (JSC) Building will be 69 meters tall and 16 storeys. It is already under construction with completion scheduled for mid-2017.
Both buildings have been designed by Mitsubishi Jisho Sekkei.
A-3 District (City Meiji Park)
Located across the street on the southern side of the planned Olympic stadium. This was once the site of military barracks and horse stables, but later became the site of the old Kasumigaoka Apartments, a city-operated public housing complex. The 10 apartment buildings, containing 300 units, will soon be demolished, although a couple of residents have yet to move out.
The apartments were built in 1961 to house residents that had been displaced by an older public housing block which had to be demolished to make way for the 1964 Olympic Stadium. The older complex was a group of 100 units in row-houses that were built in 1946 and located just to the north.
Although just 4 years older than the neighbouring Gaien House, which has been maintained over the years, the public housing buildings are in a rapidly deteriorating state with cracked and peeling concrete walls and exposed reinforcing.
