Piedmont (Italian: Piemonte, pronounced [pjeˈmonte]; Piedmontese and Occitan: Piemont; French: Piémont) is one of the 20 regions of Italy. It has an area of 25,399 km2 and a population of about 4.4 million. The capital is Turin. The main local language is Piedmontese. Occitan is also spoken by a minority in the Occitan Valleys. Franco-Provençal is also spoken by another minority in the alpine heights of the Province of Turin. The name Piedmont comes from medieval Latin Pedemontium, i. e. "ad pedem montium", meaning "at the foot of the mountain".[citation needed]
Piedmont is surrounded on three sides by the Alps, including Monviso (Mont Vis), where the Po rises, and Monte Rosa. It borders France, Switzerland and the Italian regions of Lombardy, Liguria, Aosta Valley and for a very small fragment with Emilia Romagna. The geography of Piedmont is 43.3% mountainous, along with extensive areas of hills (30.3%) and plains (26.4%). Piedmont is the second largest of Italy's 20 administrative regions, after Sicily. It is broadly contiguous with the upper part of the drainage basin of the river Po, which rises from the slopes of Monviso in the west of the region and is Italy's largest river. The Po collects all the waters provided within the semicircle of mountains (Alps and Apennines) which surround the region on three sides. From the highest peaks the land slopes down to hilly areas, (not always, though; sometimes there is a brusque transition from the mountains to the plains) and then to the upper, and then the lower the great Padan Plain. The boundary between the first and the second is characterised by risorgive, springs typical of the pianura padana which supply fresh water both to the rivers and to a dense network of irrigation canals. The countryside, then, is very varied: one passes from the rugged peaks of the massifs of Monte Rosa and of Gran Paradiso (national park), to the damp rice paddies of the Vercellese and Novarese; from the gentle hillsides of the Langhe and of Montferrat to the plains. The percentage of the territory which is a protected area is 7.6%. There are 56 different national or regional parks. One such park is the Gran Paradiso National Park (Grand Paradis).

Piedmont was inhabited in early historic times by Celtic-Ligurian tribes such as the Taurini and the Salassi. They were later submitted by the Romans (c. 220 BC), who founded several colonies there including Augusta Taurinorum (Turin) and Eporedia (Ivrea). After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, the region was repeatedly invaded by the Burgundians, the Goths (5th century), Byzantines, Lombards (6th century), Franks (773). In the 9th-10th centuries there were further incursions by the Magyars and Saracens. At the time Piedmont, as part of the Kingdom of Italy within the Holy Roman Empire, was subdivided into several marks and counties.
In 1046, Oddo of Savoy added Piedmont to their main territory of Savoy, with a capital at Chambéry (now in France). Other areas remained independent, such as the powerful comuni (municipalities) of Asti and Alessandria and the marquisates of Saluzzo and Montferrat. The County of Savoy was elevated to a duchy in 1416, and Duke Emanuele Filiberto moved the seat to Turin in 1563. In 1720, the Duke of Savoy became King of Sardinia, founding what evolved into the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia and increasing Turin's importance as a European capital.
The Republic of Alba was created in 1796 as a French client republic in Piedmont before the area was annexed by France in 1801. In June 1802 a new client republic, the Subalpine Republic, was established in Piedmont and in September it was also annexed. In the congress of Vienna, the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia was restored, and furthermore received the Republic of Genoa to strengthen it as a barrier against France.
Piedmont was an initial springboard for Italy's unification in 1859-1861, following earlier unsuccessful wars against the Austrian Empire in 1820-1821 and 1848-1849. This process is sometimes referred to as Piedmontisation. However, the efforts were later contradicted by efforts of rural farmers.[1][2] The House of Savoy became Kings of Italy, and Turin briefly became the capital of Italy. However, the addition of territory paradoxically reduced Piedmont's importance to the kingdom, and the capital was moved to Florence, and then to Rome. One remaining recognition of Piedmont's historical role was that the crown prince of Italy was known as the Prince of Piedmont.
Lowland Piedmont is a fertile agricultural region. The main agricultural products in Piemonte are cereals, including rice, representing more than 10% of national production, maize, grapes for wine-making and fruit and milk.[3] With more than 800 000 head of cattle in 2000, livestock production accounts for half of final agricultural production in Piedmont. Piedmont is one of the great winegrowing regions in Italy. More than half of its 700 square kilometres (170,000 acres) of vineyards are registered with DOC designations. It produces prestigious wines as Barolo, Barbaresco, from the Langhe near Alba, and the Moscato d'Asti (as well as the sparkling Asti Spumante) from the vineyards around Asti. Indigenous grape varieties include Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto, Freisa, Grignolino and Brachetto.
The region contains major industrial centres, notably: Ivrea ,home to the Olivetti ; Turin, home to the FIAT automobile works. Biella produces tissues and silks. Asti comune about 55 kilometres east of Turin in the plain of the Tanaro River and capital of Monferrato one of the most important wine district of the world. Alba is the house of Ferrero's chocolate factories and some mechanical industries. There are links with neighbouring France via the Fréjus and Colle di Tenda tunnels and the Montgenèvre Pass, and with Switzerland over the Simplón and Great St Bernard passes. It is possible to get to Switzerland via a normal road, that crosses the Oriental Piedmont starting from Arona up to Locarno, on the borders with Italy. The region's airport, Turin-Caselle, caters for domestic and international flights.[4] The region has the longest motorways network amongst the Italian regions (about 800 km). The motorway routes radiate from Turin, connecting it with the other provinces in the Piemonte region, as well as with the other regions in Italy. In 2001, the number of passenger cars per 1 000 inhabitants at 623 was above the national average (575).[5]
The tourism industry in Piedmont employs 75,534 people and currently comprises 17,367 companies operating in the hospitality and catering sector, with 1,473 hotels and tourist accommodations. The sector generates a turnover of €2,671 million Euros, 3.3% of the €80,196 million which represents the total estimated spending on tourism in Italy. The region enjoys almost the same level of popularity among Italians and visitors from overseas. In 2002 there were 2,651,068 total arrivals; international visitors to Piedmont in 2002 accounted for 42% of the total number of tourists with 1,124,696 arrivals. The traditional leading areas for tourism in Piedmont are the Lake District – "Piedmont's riviera", which accounts for 32.84% of total overnight stays, and the metropolitan area of Turin which accounts for 26.51.[6] In 2006 Turin hosted the XX Olympic Winter Games and in 2007 the XXIII Universiade. Alpine tourism tends to concentrate in a few highly developed stations like Alagna Valsesia and Sestriere. Around 1980, the long-distance trail Grande Traversata delle Alpi has been created to draw more attention to the manyfold of remote, sparsely inhabited valleys.
|Historical populations
|2008 (Est.)
|Source: ISTAT 2001
The population density in Piemonte is lower than the national average. In 2008 it was equal to 174 inhabitants per km2, compared to a national figure of about 200. It rises however to 335 inhabitants per km2 when just the province of Turin is considered, whereas Verbano-Cusio-Ossola is the less densely populated province (72 inhabitants per km2). The population of Piedmont followed a downward trend throughout the 1980s. This drop is the result of the natural negative balance (of some 3 to 4% per year), while the migratory balance since 1986 has again become positive because of an excess of new immigration over a stable figure for emigration.[7] The population as a whole has remained stable in the 1990s, although this is the result of a negative natural balance and a positive net migration.
The Turin metro area grew rapidly in the 1950s and 1960s due to an increase of immigrants from Southern Italy, and today it has a population of approximately two million. As of 2008, the Italian national institute of statistics (ISTAT) estimated that 310,543 foreign-born immigrants live in Piedmont, equal to 7.0% of the total regional population.
The Regional Government (Giunta Regionale) is presided by the President of the Region (Presidente della Regione), who is elected for a five-year term and is composed by the President and the Ministers, who are currently 14, including a Vice President (Vice Presidente).[8] In the last regional election, which took place on 3-4 April 2005, Mercedes Bresso (Democrats of the Left, then Democratic Party) defeated incumbent Enzo Ghigo (Forza Italia). However, at the April 2008 Italian national election, Piedmont gave 46.8% of its votes to the Centre-Right coalition led by Silvio Berlusconi.
Piedmont is divided into eight provinces:
|Area (km²)
|Density (inh./km²)
|Province of Alessandria

|Province of Biella
|Province of Cuneo
|Province of Novara
|Province of Turin

Piedmont (Italian: Piemonte) is a region in the northwest of Italy, next to the border with France. The main city is Turin (Italian: Torino), which was host to the 2006 Winter Olympic Games.
Piedmont is surrounded on three sides by the Alps, including the Monviso, where the Po River rises, and the Monte Rosa. It borders with France, Switzerland and the Italian regions of Lombardy, Liguria, Emilia-Romagna and Aosta Valley.
The area is justly famous for its wines, which include some of the best produced from Italy such as Barolo, Barbaresco, Barbera, Dolcetto and Moscato D'Asti, its local cuisine reknown throughout Italy and the precious white truffles of this region which have been compared to gold because of their cost and delicacy..
Administratively, Piedmont consists of the following provinces:
Geographically, Piedmont also includes the distinct regions of Langhe, Monferrato and Roero Hills, which lie in the centre of Piedmont and are a mixture of limestone and sandstone deposits laid down by the retreating Adriatic 3 million years ago, now cut by numerous river valleys and the area of most of Piedmont's wines:
Piedmont people are probably the most shy in Italy. Their understatement and lack of emotional behavior is often something that other Italians laugh at. This region has been the industrial heart of Italy since 1800, even though nowadays it's experiencing some economic difficulty connected with deindustrialization.
The Monarchy has left strong heritage across the region, particularly in wide natural parks (former king's hunting reserves) and in XVIII and XIX century buildings.
Piedmontese is spoken by about 2-3 million people throughout Piedmont. However, Italian dominates everyday communication.
In 2004, Piedmontese was recognised as Piedmont's regional language by the regional parliament, although the Italian government does not recognise it. It has, however, been recognized as a separate language by the European Union. It is supposed to be taught to children in school, but this is happening only in a limited way.
Piedmont is well served by airports.
Caselle Airport (TRN) [1] in Turin is the main airport of Piedmont. It has regular flights with main European hubs and Italian cities operated by major airlines as well as low fares companies.
Milan has three airports:
To the south is Cristoforo Colombo Airport (GOA) [5] in Genoa which is served by domestic and short-haul international carriers.
Another option is Levaldigi Airport (CUF) [6] in Cuneo, but it has a very limited number of flights and very few connections other than private car.
from France, the Montgenèvre road (RN 94/ SS 24) from Briançon to Cesana Torinese in Italy is very good (above all on the italian side), always open during winter and free.
Although some local bus and train service exists, the best way to tour the Piedmont is by car, especially for tourists who want to venture outside Turin and a few other large cities.
The region has numerous interesting museums, some of the best are found in Turin including Museo Egizio, the second most important Egyptian museum in the world, and National Cinema Museum, most famed for the spectacular building.
There are a number of well known ski resorts in Piedmont Alpine region
The Milky Way ski area is one of the biggest areas in Europe and encompasses the following resorts.
Bardonecchia is another large ski area and was host to the 2006 Winter Olympic snowboarding events.
Macugnaga and Alagna Val Sesia in the V.C.O. (Verbano, Cusio, Ossola) province (North-east of the Region).
Limone Piemonte and Prato Nevoso in the province of Coni.
If you can, try the Bollito Misto and Fritto Misto. These are two very traditional dishes and you may only be able to find them in old restaurants far from the tourist circuit. The Bollito Misto is a mix of beef and pork meat boiled with vegetables and eaten with a variety of sauces. The Fritto Misto is a mixture of fried meats and vegetables. Another very typical meal is Bagna Cauda: it consists of a hot garlic sauce eaten with raw vegetables. Try also the "Paniscia vercellese" a typical dish from Vercelli made with rice, beans and susages. You can eat also fried frogs and good fishes from lake and rivers.
Piedmont is well known for its great wines, particularly Barolo and Barbaresco but also Dolcetto, Arneis, Freisa, Gavi and others. Most vineyards are on the Langhe hills around Asti and Alba and on Monferrato other hills between Alba an Alessandria, but the passion for strong red wines has spread among the entire territory. Try also beers (Menabrea) and aromated wines (Vermuths).
Piedmont is generally a very safe place.

PIEDMONT (Ital. Piemonte; Low Lat. Pedemons and a territorial division (compartimento) of northern Italy, bounded N. by Switzerland, W. by France, S. by Liguria and E. by Lombardy. Physically it may be briefly described as the upper gathering-ground and valley of the river Po, enclosed on all sides except towards the Lombard plain by the vast semicircle of the Pennine, Graian, Cottian, Maritime and Ligurian Alps. In 1859 it was divided into the four provinces of Alessandria, Cuneo, Novara and Torino (Turin). It has an area of 11,340 sq. m. The people are chiefly engaged in agriculture - growing wheat, maize and rice, chestnuts, wine and hemp; in the reeling and throwing of silk and in the manufacture of cotton, woollens and clothing; there are also considerable manufactures at Turin, Savigliano, &c. The Piedmontese dialect has been rather strongly influenced by French. The chief towns in the several provinces are as follows, with their communal populations in 1901: Alessandria (72,109), Asti (39,251), Casale Monferrato (31,370), Novi Ligure (17,868), Tortona (17,419), Acqui (13,940), Valenza (10,956), Ovada (10,284); total of province 825,745, number of communes 343; Cuneo (26,879), Mondovi (18,982), Fossano (18,175), Savigliano (1 7,34 0). Saluzzo (16,028), Bra (15,821), Alba (13,637), Boves (10,137); total of province 670,504, number of communes 263; Novara (44,249), Vercelli (30,470), Biella (19,267) Trino (12,138), Borgomanero (10,131); total of province 763,830; number of communes, 437; Turin (329,691), Pinerolo (18,039), Carmagnola (11,721), Ivrea (11,696), Moncalieri (11,467); total of province 1,147,414; number of communes, 442. The total population of Piedmont was 2,738,814 in 1859, and in 1901 3, 4 07,493. The large number of communes is noticeable, as in Lombardy, and points to a village life which, owing to greater insecurity and the character of the country, is not to be found in central and southern Italy as a whole. There are numerous summer resorts in the Alpine valleys. The chief railway centres are Turin, communicating with the Mont Cenis line, and with the Riviera by the railway over the Col di Tenda (in process of construction), Novara, Vercelli, Asti, Alessandria, Novi. The communications with Liguria are difficult owing to the approach of the mountains to the coast, and the existing lines from Genoa to Turin and Milan are hardly sufficient to cope with the traffic.
Piedmont in Roman times until 49 B.C. formed a part of Gallia Transpadana, and in Augustus' division of Italy formed with what was later known as Lombardy the 11th region. It formed part of the Lombard kingdom, and it was not till about A.D. 1000 that the house of Savoy arose. The subsequent history of Piedmont is that of its dynasty.

A Year's Journey Through E-Publishing
The first anthology from Authors Electric
Edited by Julia Jones
Edited by Julia Jones
The Authors Electric blogspot receives over 12,000 hits a month and its worldwide readership is growing. The group of 29 independent and independently publishing writers present a kaleidoscope of books, opinions and ideas aiming to entertain and inform, each posting one blog a month. Now the group is publishing a selection.
SPARKS is an anthology of blogs by a group of bloggers. It includes contributions from
41 professional authors posted between June 2011 and November 2012. Released on Kindle, SPARKS will cost less than £1. A free app will be available for download to allow the anthology to be read on a wide range of devices. A paperback version is planned for
the New Year.
The idea came from Julia Jones, a former bookseller as well as a publisher, reader and writer. Fascinated by developments in the book trade, she got into the habit of reading her fellow Authors Electric members' blogposts on a regular basis. The more she read, the more impressed she became 'by other people's knowledge, humour and their willingness to share their experience'. A casual remark on Facebook that she could 'feel a collection coming on' was met by an enthusiastic response – and SPARKS was born.
'Anthologies have always had their place in the newspaper and magazine world – and I'm not aware of another UK blogging group that has produced anything like this,' says Julia Jones.
With 430 blogposts to choose from, Jones selected one post from each current member, one from every former member who'd posted on five or more occasions, two guest posts and two 'specials'.
'SPARKS aims to present "the journey so far",' says Jones. 'We are a group of authors e-publishing our own work for a number of reasons: some are disillusioned with conventional publishing; some have new work that does not fit traditional genres; we all want to keep our backlist titles in print – and for the sheer pleasure in managing our writing lives. SPARKS reflects this, as well as the new excitements and difficulties of self-publishing.'
One of the 'specials' selected marks the 100th review on the IEBR (Indie eBook Review), sister website of Authors Electric. An outside perspective on how media attitudes to writer-publishers have changed is provided in an interview with Scott Pack, publisher of Harper Collins imprint, The Friday Project; book trade analyst and a former bookseller.
'SPARKS offers a perspective on a year that has seen real change in the independent e-publishing market,' says Julia Jones. 'The experience of the individual members of Authors Electric is probably representative of many other writer-publishers. Contributing as a group has helped all of us feel clearer about what we're trying to do, even when we don't agree with each other. We all feel more confident that choosing to publish our own work isn't some form of vanity, but is a new way to connect with readers and manage our own books and our own careers without depending on the traditional "gatekeepers".'
The paper version of SPARKS is a not-for-profit exercise and will be sold at cost, or as near cost as retailers' (such as Amazon) pricing structures allow. Authors Electric member, Stephanie Zia (an author who also runs her own e-publishing company, Blackbird Digital), is managing this side of things. Any royalties paid to Blackbird will be put towards providing free books to journalists, reviewers, analysts and broadcasters who might be interested in discussing the group's work.
As with all Authors Electric projects, such as its Great E-Book Giveaway in April 2012, SPARKS is a group effort.
'Authors Electric started just over a year ago with zero readers,' says Susan Price, group co-ordinator. 'It's now getting 12,000 hits a month from a growing worldwide audience – all due to its writing team of highly articulate, sparky bloggers! I'm privileged to be part of it, and can't wait to see how it develops, along with e-publishing, in the future.'
The SPARKS e-anthology is published on 28th December 2012. The paperback version will be published early in 2013. The e-anthology will be free for the first five days, after which it will retail at US$0.99 (£0.77).

text: St Beunos in North Wales (so any posts after that are ones that have been done beforehand and scheduled!) Anyone who knows me will realise that the idea of complete silence will be something which might be somewhat of a challenge. But it makes me reflect far more than that on quite how much noise we have in our everyday lives at present. Whether it's from mobile phones or computers we're now almost permanently plugged into the net. Even when I went on a trek to Everest Base Camp a couple of years ago there was internet access for much of the way there. I remember when I started doing my first cases as a barrister in 1997 that I had to telephone solicitors from a phone box when you were away at court. That soon changed and although a convenience it also meant that you were permanently on call to anyone who might care to ring at any time of the day. There's not really a point to this other than to lament the erosion of silence. Though of course I may well think very differently come the end of the retreat!

I am so in love with the October bag Bombshell felt tip liquid eyeliner! If you have not already signed up for a Ipsy bag do it now! $10 a month cant beat.

apartamento fantastico
super bien comunicado. delante tiene la paradas del bus 123, directo a la estacion central. a 2 minutos supermercado que abre de 7 a 23h. en la misma calle varios bares!
el apartamento es monisimo, super comodo, la cama confortable, la temperatura excelente, la cocina super equipada, el baño (como el restgo) nuevo... un lujo de apartamento para parejas, sin duda!!!
Loved Berlin
Great location in quiet area. Very easy access to bus and short ride to main station. Apartment was clean and had everything we needed. Comfortable bed but pillows left something to be desired. If you are looking for action right out your door, you may need. to walk or ride a bit but not far. We loved the area-we headed out every morning and didn't come back til night. Felt very safe
Nice room with great staff
The room is just right for two persons (adults). The kitchen was just fantastic with what was needed. very clean and tidy. The staff, Ms. Sophie was very helpful and friendly.

As you saw in my previous post on paper beads, my interests have moved beyond simple bead working and into bead making. Previously, I've flirted with creating clay beads and beads made out of sculpey.
Now I've moved on to making glass pendants.
|Basic components and finished product
The glass tiles are large decorative accents obtained from the floral section of Michaels (where else). Cut out a slightly smaller piece of decorative paper and glue it to the base of the tile. Then, apply a coat of varnish to the back of the pendant. Finally, you can glue either a store bought bail or a hand crafted one to finish off the pendant. I like to apply another coat of varnish at this point just to fix all the components in place.

It's December and we all know this month just flies. Then it'll be January and then 1st February 2012 meaning I go back to work. Where did my 6 months of maternity leave go?
Firstly some background. I started working for my current employer in 7 September 2010. I found out I was pregnant in November and my expected due date was August 7 2011. A month shy of my 12 month continuous employment therefore short of any maternity leave entitlements. My employer offered to hold my title while I go on "extended leave" but for only 6 months. So I must return in 6 months if I want my job back.
Before going on leave I already felt this was a tough decision. There is the financial benefits to returning back to work but the guilt knowing my baby will only be 6 months when I go back.
Before having a baby I never cared to understand reasons why mothers stayed at home to look after their children. I consider myself a logical thinker so yes it make sense if you have multiple children, you earn below a certain salary and from a tax perspective it make sense not to work. But the whole staying home cause you want to "be the one to care for your children," you don't really understand that concept until you've had a child.
For me now I would love to be the one to look after Elijah, especially at this stage of his life. I feel there is no one else who will love him and watch him with as much attention as I would. I want to be there to witness all his first's, teach him how to do things and spend all day with him. I fear although he'll be looked after by family he'll be put in a corner some where and only efforts to keep him quiet will be made instead of enhancing his development.
Right now I'm happy to play with him all day, I don't make many plans and I get to things when I can - complete 180 to how I was four and a half months ago. I choose to pick him up every time he cries, I choose to hold him while he sleeps so he can feel close to me and I choose a method of nurturing some people might not have the patience for. Everyone is so busy with what they got going in their lives I worry looking after Eli will be a task instead of a commitment.

1. Listen to Christmas music. The cheery songs you've known since you were old enough to talk can really put you in the Christmas spirit. The best ones help you think about Christ coming to earth as a baby and all the events leading up to it. Tired of the traditional renditions in every department store and radio station? Scope out classic songs covered by up and coming artists.
2. Give to those you love.We give gifts every year to family and friends to remember the wise men bringing gifts to Jesus after he was born. A good gift doesn't have to cost a lot of money. Check out our ultimate Christmas gift guide for everyone on your list, or try your hand at all the handmade gift ideas on our Pinterest.
3. Bake yummy treats.
The only thing I love more in the world than food is dolphins. Since your neighbors probably won't appreciate your thoughtful gift of a 400-pound Flipper, a plate of homemade cookies and other sweets can make a thoughtful (and tasty) gift. Find a ton of delicious recipes here.
4. Get involved with your community.
For some people, Christmas is the loneliest time of the year. Many people don't have loved ones to celebrate with, a roof over their heads, clothes to keep them warm, or even their next meal. You can help give back this season by volunteering at your local food bank or soup kichen, donating used clothes, or cooking meals for needy families in your community. You can make a difference in someone's life by showing them Christ's love and care.
5. Know Christ.
While getting presents and wearing ugly Christmas sweaters is fun, the real reason we get together to celebrate Christmas is to remember how Jesus, God's perfect and holy Son, came to earth as a human baby to endure the world's pain and alleviate suffering. He humbled himself to a vulnerable state so that we can be saved from the turmoil that comes from a life without Christ. Read the Christmas story in Luke 2:1-20. Keep your Savior in mind this Christmas season and remember what He went through for you.

To pet owners and animal lovers.
Please be aware that in Cyprus a controlled (elswhere)chemical called lannate is freely available to anyone who cares to purchase it. it is extemely poisonus to animals and usually fatal.
In eastern Cyprus some of our less than caring fellow islanders use it as a wedkiller etc but leave it around in large amounts in open spaces..but other people of a lesser mentality lace meat with it and just leave it around for any animal to eat or ingest, so much easier to get rid of unwanted cats and dogs and sometimes other peoples pets as well!!
So most dog owners usually take their dogs out on a lead and usually fit a muzzle as well to stop their animals becoming victims to these mentally impaired morons...

I have taken your advise and revised my upload fields. Since I began using Jot Form, there has been one problem after another. The biggest problem with this program is the upload fields. Forms are not successfully being upload to the designated fields. It has gotten to a point where I have to redirect students to fax me documents because the upload function is inoperable.
- JotForm SupportWelvinAnswered on May 21, 2013 at 08:56 AM
There's something wrong with your first upload field. The file extension is incorrect. You current setting is "*", and it should only *. I've fixed that.
Do you mean to have problems with all the upload fields? I have tested your form, check your form submissions and all files are there.
I hope that it is working now.

Bike Tour
The 2016 Bike Tour will see us returning to Tasmania for the 4th time, the most recent being in 2012. Again we will be riding down the
East Coast of Tasmania finishing in the Historic town of Richmond, then Hobart to see the sights before flying back to Melbourne.
This Tour is a huge logistical undertaking but is likely to leave students with memories they will always remember from their
schooling years at Newcomb.
Newcomb Secondary College Bike Tour is the only event of its kind run by a Victorian Government High school. It is organised and run by Newcomb staff that have a combined wealth of experience and knowledge. Newcomb Secondary College has been running Bike Tour annually for over 30 years.
Four different tour routes are now rotated through, covering regions in Victoria and Tasmania which many students may otherwise never see: The Great Ocean Road, Wilsons Promontory, the Victorian Alps and the Tasmanian East coast.
Each tour runs for 6 or 7 days, over 350 – 450 kilometres in all sorts of weather over all sorts of terrain. It is a genuine opportunity for students to push themselves physically in a new situation. Many students kick start new habits of health and fitness or set goals based on an old 'mark' as they prepare for, then complete one or several Tours.
Bike Tour allows many students a unique opportunity to experience feeling proud of achieving something very worthwhile as part of a special team.
A highlight of each tour sees students and staff work together on all aspects of the daily logistics to successfully reach the days goals, both out on the road and at each camp/accommodation site. Every year Bike Tour sees new friendships develop, often across many year levels and gives staff and students a real connection as everyone prepares for then tackles the upcoming Tour.
Bike Tour is an event so many students rate as amongst the major highlights of their time at Newcomb Secondary College. At a time when our senior students could be launching into the start of the rest of their lives, many return to complete Bike Tour as one of their last secondary school experiences.

About Us
About Us
The designer behind the brand, Nicole D'Andrea was inspired at a young age by the art of shoe making and repair. Her education began as she sat in awe of her grandfather laboring in his cobbler shop, a trade he brought to America. Nicole received precious cultural heritage, work ethic and design sensibility from both her grandparents and carries this into the Nic D'Andrea collection.
Nicole's technical knowledge was eagerly absorbed while working with prestigious fashion icons such as BCBG's Max Azria and LD Tuttle. She also had the privilege of studying at Ars Suttoria of Milano, Italy; after attending The International Academy of Design in Chicago, Illinois. These experiences gave Nicole the knowledge to shop quality leathers, source the best hardware and understand the pattern-making process involved to develop a conceptual design. A practical application of these experiences allow her to realize an endeavor that was long romanticized: a collection of her own.
The Mister Handbag Collection was created for woman to relate to and have fun while shopping for their new favorite handbag. The names for our Misters come from our customers, Nicole herself, or from someone of the Nic D'Andrea team. Go ahead, take a peek at all of the Misters, and see which one reminds you of that certain Mister. Each handbag is designed to last for years to come while still being in style.
Why Jewelry?
Nicole expanded into jewelry to inspire woman. She felt it was important for woman to remind themselves daily of their self-worth and to chase after their dreams which inspired our charms for the jewelry.

Law enforcement officials have extensive powers to detain people when investigating attacks on the country, legal experts said yesterday.
The experts said the detentions in recent days of more than two dozen people on charges of immigration violations and at least two as material witnesses in Tuesday's terrorist attacks showed that officials were using that wide latitude.
They are unlikely to be second-guessed by judges, several legal experts said. ''No judge wants to be responsible for another act of terrorism,'' said E. Joshua Rosenkranz, president of the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University Law School.
Because the government controls who can enter the country, the powers of officials are especially expansive in dealing with immigrants. Judges in the past have permitted immigrants to be held on evidence kept secret even from the courts.
''We don't have preventive detention in our law for acts of terrorism,'' said Arthur C. Helton, an expert on immigration law who is a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. ''That's why all these people are being held on immigration violations, because the discretion enjoyed by immigration officials is almost complete.''Continue reading the main story
The United States Supreme Court has approved holding people in immigration cases, even as a pretext to pursue leads to other crimes.
Although not as expansive, the power of prosecutors over people defined as material witnesses is also very broad. Officials generally must obtain permission from a judge to hold someone as a material witness.
But lawyers say the anxieties across the country suggest that judges would be sympathetic to assertions of law enforcement officials. ''It is highly unlikely under these circumstances that a judge would refuse to sign a warrant,'' said Thomas P. Puccio, a former federal prosecutor.
Under federal law, a person can be held as a material witness if there is probable cause to believe the person has information that could be important to an investigation and if it ''is or may become impracticable'' to assure that the person will be available to testify.
Defining people as material witnesses could be a short cut to detain people, said Aaron R. Marcu, a former federal prosecutor who is a defense lawyer at the law firm Covington & Burling. He said it would be much easier to show that a person had information than it would be to show that there was reason to believe the person was involved in the terror conspiracy.
And because there are international terror networks, it would not be difficult for prosecutors to assert that witnesses might flee, said Frederick P. Hafetz, another former federal prosecutor who is a defense lawyer in New York.Continue reading the main story

They've been typically produced from stainless steel or in some instances titanium. for those who need to go beyond the typical colours, some companies also make biker jewelries in many different colours and materials. you could pick jewelry made from wood, glass, acrylic, steel and silicon. 3D finished on either side. Frequently, they incorporate several of all these materials.

Redang Trip ~3rd day~
Last day, nobody set alarm. So everyone woke up quite late. But actually I already woke up 6am for packing and some purpose(just in case one of my roommate can't wake up then I got to help her packing). But luckily she woke up. After preparing, I went out to corridor walk around. I saw all rooms were cold like hell, the window and even the door knob also full of water droplets. While our room's air-cond remote control gone. At last they said another room took already, so our room's air-cond just force to off it. By the time, still nobody wake up. Our boat would be dapart at 9.30am. I sms Lay Peng, Edward and David, but no one reply. lol... Then suddenly saw Tze How came out from his room. He is the one who wake up only. I go and knock Sam's room, cant believe Poh Jin is the one who open the door. lol... Seems like everyone is still in their dream, so Terence, Tze How, David, Fui Teng, Bee Yee and me go for our breakfast first. Totally no appetite for that morning, but force to eat so, cause I scare I would dizzy in the boat again. The boat for that day is different with the first day one, so I felt relieved. Last fun for us is before we arrived at the jetty, the 'driver' of the boat drift here and there. haha!
Bus again, everyone looks like very sad with it, me too. One word-TIRED. When we arrived at the bus station, we went to McD to wait for another bus back to KL. Again-TIRED. We went back by Transnasional double-decker bus. We sat upstairs. Another word-HOT! What a hot bus was that? Can't even breath la! Everyone sweat around, and can't get into sleep although the sits are quite comfortable, everyone just looking for rest station.
Wah!! Take so long time already but we still not on the highway yet. hmmm... boring+tired. At last, we reach right at 8pm. Hooray!
Miss the trip so much, but now my hands get some dot and sometime quite itchy. Lip too, feel itchy. No cough but no sound. I think something I'm allergic to and also because of the hot weather. EVERYBODY, DRINK MORE H2O(WATER) ya! Everytime I went out for trip sure get some light sickness one. haizz... But get use to it already, everytime just get ready. Really enjoy with the trip^_^

Redang Trip ~2nd day~
Early in the morning, about 6am, Edward and David were knocking every room. They actually wake us up to look for the sunrise. But my roommates slept like a pig, no respond at all when they knocked the door and even my alarm was rings. lol... Fui Teng still ok, but THE Bee Yee-dai xiu jie, aih... really need to shake her up. Waiting and looking for the sunrise for almost 1 hours more, then someone went for jogging. Lately, we played volleyball. Haha!! I cannot run due to my injured toes, so I just stand still and wait for the ball^_^
Today had 2 session of snorkelling, 9.30am and 2.30pm. So, after breakfast, I went for a bath and wait for the session. Morning session's snorkelling, again, I followed one abang with Bee Yee. He bring us a lot of fun la!! I still remember is he swim under the water and take a sea cucumber to show us, when I ask him is't sea cucumber, he answer me:"NO! DON'T YOU SEE IT IS A MOTOROLA HANDPHONE." -.-lll Along the journey, he makes lots of joke, we got to get up to laugh before continue. lol... While 2.30pm, we went to marine park. There have more coral and fish, but more dangerous than previous one. This time, no abang at all, so we just follow and hold guys. Pity you all to take care us la!!^_^ Wave around over there, we almost float out of the limit already.
Tea time, then go and play for the last. Sam taught us swimming^_^ I have learned wa shi style(don't know ist call breast stroke) So happyXD Without life jacket, I can float here and there also. But in swimming pool I cant make it la^_^ Yeah!! So excited to swim.
Then, next round. I don't think it is a right choice for me to write it out. So, for those who are going, you must have a good memory!! ^_^

Redang Trip ~1st day~
Finally, I'm here to blog for my Redang trip.
They are 16 people went to this Redang trip, they are Sam, Poh Jin, Lay Peng, Lee Yee, Bee Yee, Fui Teng, Edward, David, Terence, Tze How, Weng Kit, Chris, KS, Jaz, Xian and me. We were getting there by bus. For the first night, we were actually having our "sweet time" in the bus. For a long journey, but I cant even get into sleep@_@ About 5am, we reach. What?? 5am!! We got to wait for another 2 hours until 7am only have bus to travel us to the jetty. lol... That time, everyone was actually quite tired because didn't get a good sleep along the journey. Then just blaming that why don't we go by aeroplane. haha! ok! 7am, get into another bus to jetty. This is also a long journey. But quite curious is, everyone was get into sleep although the bus is not as comfortable as the previous one. wow!! Don't know what time only we reach the jetty, then another 45minutes to travel to Redang Island by boat. No breakfast for that morning+the boat 'jump' here and there, make me feel dizzy and vomit@_@ By the time we reach, it was almost lunch time already.
Listening for short briefing, pay for snorkelling equipment, collect keys, change shirt, lunch then wait for snorkeling session. First time been to snorkelling, quite excited XD And can tell you one thing is all girls don't know swimming, except Sam, she is still learning. While all guys know swimming except 1 or 2 of them. But luckily is guys more than girls. haha! When snorkelling time, I followed a crew over there, normally we call them abang. If you are not scare to them, there are some advantages to follow them. That one I followed he bring me to see a lot of thing, include nemo fish.
After tea time, we went to look for small shark. But I think only 1 or 2 people saw it. Then swim to climb on a stone, bring by someone la! Don't know how to swim la^^ The stone is so slippery, so hard to get on it. When got it, I still think that "how I'm going to go back to the beach leh?" A while later, I saw Fui Teng's toes were bleeding, then I shout at her. So funny is, she look back to my toes, my toes seems like more serious than hers, cause more blood around. lol... Actually those blood on her toes is my blood -.-lll what the... 4 toes injured, the most serious one is my left leg's big toes, bleed none stop, but I had no feeling at all, until my friend hold me back to the beach only I felt the pain. He still want to open my wound. OMG! Another friend still scare me, he said if too serious need to stitch. wahT_T
Quite excited to have such fun, but this make our hair and lip so dry...

I was sleeping from 12.30am to 1.30pm. 13 hours!!! First time for me@_@ When I awake, I saw my younger brother was actually back from his school already. lol... That time I still think that ist my dad didn't go to work ar??! ^^ The other reason for today is my body very itchy la!!! I think there must be something I am allergic to. Thats why I cant even sit properly and concentrate to blog today, so I will blog it lately.
I found that there is really a lot of fun in Redang. Although it is the first time getting out with my college friends, I can feel the enjoyment when we all being together.

3rd semester exam is over
Finally, I've finished the last exam for my foundation. What I expect is to pass all the 4 subject then can smoothly let me progress into degree. Now I have 2 weeks holiday, and result will be announced soon in this 2 weeks holiday.
Well, the first subject was management. I still remember that day we were 5 minutes late to the classroom, I think it was not my fault just because some incident was happened suddenly. I don't know whether I had did well or not. There were 4 out of 6 questions must be done, luckily there were 4 questions I had full idea and points on writing it, but still need to see how my lecturer mark the paper. From the 2 test she marked before, we seems to be not so satisfy with her marking 'skill', don't know how to explain about it. haizz...
Second paper-English. 3 essays+comprehension+grammar in 2 hours!! wow!! We have to arrange our time properly, as to make each part to spend only 30 minutes. So, I start my comprehension at first, then memo+grammar for the other 30 minutes, then 1 hour left for business letter and contrast essay. Yes!! I did it in time. This time was not as tension as last time, so we felt relax while studying. I still remember my friends and I were studying together via Skype before the day of exam ^_^
Statistic... It was held on Friday evening:5-7pm. lol... so "early"!! So actually I was doing nothing on Thursday, Friday only studied for it. For me, this subject is the most easiest compare to the other 3 subjects. I was quite relax while studied it. But my friend make me felt so tension as he very nervous with it.
Last~Cost Accounting. Feel so tired after having statistic exam, almost 8pm something only back to my house. After dinner, bath... it was already 10pm something. So, study? Yup!! sure. Although pass already. So, I quickly studied those counting work, theory? I almost give up, just studied the advantages and disadvantages of LIFO, FIFO and AVG method. Luckily, it came out in the exam. For section A, we had to do 3 out of 5 questions. I had done all, because there were quite some time for me to finish it. But it seems like not a good job, cause my lecturer won't choose for the highest mark but the first 3 questions. ARH!!! I have more confident on the last 2 questions than the first 2 questions. DAMN it!!! now it means that, originally I can get an A- but now maybe down gred to B- already...

今天我爸没上班,一整天就像星期日了,因为平时他都是星期日早上一辆一辆车驾去给人清洗的。今天一起床就看见大家都好像很忙酱,我妈去了菜市,接着就轮到我爸出了去,当时我猜他应该是去洗车吧,因为我以为今天是星期日嘛!^_^接着再接着,就我和我弟要去洗脸。出门之际,没想到要驾车去的,就叫我哥载我们去咯。怎知道原来家里只剩我爸的车哟。。@_@ 除了我爸和妈会驾我爸那辆老车以外,家里就没有人会驾了,虽然大家都会驾manual。Then? 等咯!aih... 一会儿就出了去。
整个月都不很得空,所以都已一个月没去洗脸了。伤咯伤咯!在洗脸的时候就一直有人拨电给我。大佬!当时我的眼都被盖着了呀!就任由它一直在振。过后看看原来是WK @_@ 急call急到酱。lol... 知道的朋友应该知道他要什么。今天没心情出去,so拖到明天才帮他了。过后他又要我的MGT note。上个semester也是last minute向我拿MGT note结果考到A咯!没有谢谢我。aih... 刚刚下午就来了我家拿note去复印。
刚刚下午天气好热哟!!热到顶不顺。But突然间阴沉沉,下起雨来。爽!!^_^ 我就去睡了个午觉。突然电话铃声响起,不是很想去接的,因为太大声了,不接不可哟!原来是Bee打来。她问我在不在家,要拿"炸弹"给我,我就说明天才给可以吗。。。。。。就是要我起来了。。walao!!怎好意思要你山长水远,还要你爸驾辆大车来送份"炸弹"给我leh??!lol... 不好意思咯!!真的谢谢你的皮萨^_^ 不讲也不知道,其实我已吃了三餐西餐,lol... 卡路里多到!!先是昨晚的鸡扒餐,再来今午的意大利面,然后就是Bee Yee homemade的皮萨。@_@

上个星期,就实在是忙、忙还是忙咯!!三天都凌晨三点才睡,讨论Account's assignment之余还要兼顾到测验。aih... 为的不是什么高不高分,只是为了通过各科的及格率。
这个星期by right我应该跟我的家人回乡清明的,最后我们三兄弟姐妹都没跟。一个学校运动会,一个即将考试,一个纯粹是因为家里没车逼不得已在家。
不明白为什么好像很多人不很喜欢那大结局,可能是个人的眼光吧!但我就觉得ok,可以接受啊!hehe^_^ 希望也期待《学警4》的出现。很不错的一套警察戏,因为这样,Laughing哥变Laughing sir,他的角色也被邀请拍部电影了,真是深入民心。但我朋友一定讲我卖花赞花香的喇!不理他们了,因为我就是喜欢观赏警察戏嘛,还难得《学警》有延续下去,就希望有机会收藏,等有机会我一定会去买的。
要知道更多关于Laughing哥=Laughing sir的消息就快点到TVB网站去成为他的"靓"(手下)吧!!
好久没跟中学的gang一起见面、喝茶了。上个星期就被邀请去了Jeffrey的生日会,跟好久不见的同班同学聚一聚,庆祝Jeff生日。Jeffrey,迟来的祝福-Happy Belated Birthday^_^

Progress Update – 29 July
I've completed Chapters 1 (Ethernet Basics) and 2 (Virtual LANs and VLAN trunking) of the OECG, tonight I'll start Chapter 3 (Spanning-tree). Im pleased with my progress and once I am done with Chapter 3, I'll be taking some time to further research topics, and configuring each technology until I fully understand it. Essentially I want to make sure that I have Ethernet and Switching topics down before I move on.
I've found the OECG to lack the level of detail I require for my CCIE studies, so currently I work through the book, and then research each topic that comes up in as much detail as possible. For that I am using the BCMSN cisco course ware, the BCMSN OECG, various CCIE blogs, Wikipedia and Cisco's website.
Came Across a really nice post regarding Private VLANs (PVLAN) today, if you're interested take a look at Understanding Private VLANs
While searching for more information on 802.1Q-in-Q Tunnelling I came across two great sources, the first being a cisco configuration guide that you can find here . The second source was a post by a fellow CCIE blogger, Irwan Piesessa, you can find his post on Q-in-Q tunnelling here .
Finally I found "Ethernet: The Definitive Guide" by Charles Spurgeon (Author) to be a great reference source on the topic of Ethernet in general.
One last remidner to myself… Something that I will be trying to do from now on is use google less and the Cisco DocCD alot more. Navigating the DocCD can be a little tricky if you haven't used it before, but its something that I must get used to and be able to navigate quickly if I want to pass my lab exam. Not only do I want to be able to navigate the DocCD quickly, but I would like to get as familiar with the documents, so that when I run into trouble in the lab, I would have atleast seen some of the documents before.

Perfection means being in tune with reality. The first thing we must understand is reality — the reality of my identity, i.e., my essence, position and function. Who am I? Just as a person does not identify himself as being the shirt that he is wearing, he also should not identify himself with the body that he is wearing.

I do love my blog, well I may not be showing it at present as I am AWOL more than I am present but hey who is counting or checking?
Anyway, why I love my blog?
I am currently going through my picture storage programme on the computer. This programme allows me to store my pictures in date order, I can tag the picture with when it was taken and also who is in the picture.
This means when I have a folder for 'Ben May 2006', I can click on this folder and it will show me all pictures that have Ben in it taken in May 2006.
Ok this means some of the pictures have multiple tags if all of us are in the picture but it makes scrap booking much easier when looking for pictures of people around the same time frame.
However, when we changed programmes we had some pictures that had the wrong date on them, we remember having a period of time when the camera was saying the wrong date and we couldn't get it to change to the correct one, I think this might have been just before we replaced it.
This means that we have pictures of Alex that say they were taken on Jan 6, 2005.
No worries there you may say....apart from the fact Alex was not born until June 2005! So looks really weird when viewing in date order to suddenly have Jan 2005 come up with Alex walking along the street in a picture and him as a newborn in the next one!
This is where the "I love my blog" part comes in....I noticed that some of the pictures I was trying to redate had had the name altered, thus meaning I must have labelled them to upload to the blog, so I skipped back through the archives and there are the pictures in a blog post at the correct date.
So my life has just been made easier, as it is easy to relabel pictures when the proof is right in front of you on the computer screen.
Man I love my blog sometimes!

It took one Saturday morning of serving breakfast to the homeless, working poor and children to inspire a drive in Hilliard to collect blankets for the same group.
It took one Saturday morning of serving breakfast to the homeless, working poor and children to inspire a drive in Hilliard to collect blankets for the same group.
Nancy Whetstone, a Darby Creek Elementary School parent and volunteer, said she is involved with Brownie Troop 1858.
In mid-December, she said, she and the Brownie Troop got up early one Saturday to participate in a volunteer effort with the Hilliard United Methodist Church.
They were headed out to assist in the "Feeding Through Faith" program. The program seeks volunteers to help prepare and serve a hot breakfast to 200 to 300 homeless or working poor people every Saturday.
At the same time, they passed out peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and pastries for folks to take home after the meal. Whetstone said her Brownies, all second-grade students, also distributed 53 hand-made fleece scarves.
The girls, according to Whetstone, made the scarves with the help of their parents.
"They went like hotcakes," she said.
It was the scarves that led to a discussion regarding blankets.
One member of the United Methodist Church-based volunteer program said the group doesn't have blankets to distribute to the needy people.
"This time of year, it is a big commodity for people who are living in the woods or their cars or can't afford heat," Whetstone said.
The thought continued to trouble her after the volunteer mission.
"When I saw those kids getting the breakfasts," Whetstone said, "it breaks your heart to know they are living in a car or with their grandmother in a one-room apartment that is poorly insulated."
As a member of Kiwanis, she also learned that in three are 2,000 children in Columbus City Schools who are considered homeless.
Whetstone decided to conduct a drive to collect blankets.
She contacted Principal Vicky Clark and asked if Darby Creek Elementary School would be interested in working on the "Covers for the Cold" blanket drive.
Clark was more than willing to get the school community involved in the project.
The Brownies made the posters and sent notes home to the parents. The drive came to a conclusion on Jan. 23 when Whetstone arrived at the school in the afternoon with a van to load up the blankets for delivery the following day at Parsons Avenue Free Store in Columbus.
"It is a faith-based program," said Whetstone. "They accept anyone. There is also a West Side Free Store."
She was hoping when she started the drive that they might collect 500 blankets. She said she was sure they had at least 100, and about half of the blankets were new.
Whetstone, who said that she is always involved in some type of charitable mission, said serving food to the homeless and working poor and then collecting blankets was a humbling experience.
She said everyone was nice to the children.
"It is a really nice way to give back to the community," she said. "It makes you realize that no matter how bad things are for you, there is always someone who has it worse. This is a generation of plenty and gratitude is in short supply."
She tries to remind her Brownie Troop and her own children that they need to help others through a multitude of experiences.
"Every two weeks we are doing something," she said.
People are not always willing to organize an event, Whetstone said, but it only takes one person to initiate it and then the others step up to help.
"I am a believer all it takes is one," she said.
Homelessness is out there and becoming more prevalent as people lose their jobs.
"Some people are only one paycheck away from being out on the streets," she said.
Whetstone said she tries to teach her children to be socially conscious and realized she had some success when she overheard a conversation between her son Jack and daughter Catherine.
"My 5-year-old said, 'I love money. I want to marry money,'" recalled Whetstone. "My 7-year-old daughter said, 'Jack, money doesn't bring you happiness.'"
Whetstone said she has preached the concept to her children, but until her daughter explained that having a home, a meal and clothing to wear she was not sure if the message had sunk in.
"It was a magical experience," she said of the conversation between her children. "The one thing we do every night is say our prayers, but I ask them to reflect on what they are thankful for."
Of late, she said, her daughter has been thankful to have a house, heat and food.
Working with the homeless and working poor and seeing their responses as well as the smiling faces of children is a gift to Whetstone and her Brownies.
"Wouldn't it be great if every kid had that gift?" she asked.

Playing video games offers a lot of entertainment and can also help you improve and better yourself. You can lose weight and get healthier! This article contains tips to help you achieve your goals. If you are thinking about purchasing a video game for a child, pay attention to the ESRB rating. This rating is going to tell you the age range that is deemed appropriate for the particular game. It can help you determine whether you want to purchase the game. When purchasing for a child, only buy those without violence or adult content. Be mindful when signing up for online gaming. Sometimes you have to pay a monthly fee for access.Always check out any gaming websites that children want to visit because all their friends are interested in joining. Make sure that you implement parental control settings on video games. You may want to see if the game is playable online. If it's able to be played online, limit the Internet access your children have. You should also look at friends lists and limit the amount of time they play to be safe.
Limit game playing time. Playing video games can become addictive, which can impact your social life. You shouldn't be gaming for more than a couple of hours each day. If you play longer, you should make sure you incorporate breaks every few hours. If you have children, make sure that the games your kids are playing are age appropriate. This means that you will need to check the warnings on the backs of the games to figure out if they're a good fit for your children. You may wish to avoid the games promoting extreme violence. Be sure to set limits on your children can play their video games. Don't let a child play from longer than a couple of hours each day because anymore can have negative affects on the eyes.
Use the highest grade video connection that's available. A lot of the gaming systems will rely on several cables to enable connection to various displays. What kind of cable do you use if your monitor or TV can take different types of cables? If those are not an option, S-Video, Composite and RCA connections. Coaxial cable remains the most popular choice due to it's general availability, but they don't work as well. Only use these cables if they're the only choice. Avoid overuse of cheat codes when playing games that depend on your skill as a player. Using too many cheat codes will make the whole purpose of playing the game.
Be sure you have what you need to play a specific game. Do not just think that your standard controller will be enough and then find out at home that you need something else. Read the package wheat you will need to play the game. You can then know what you need. Video games can be an enjoyable way to unwind and de-stress, but there is so much more to them that just playing.. What you've read here will ensure your gaming time is well spent.

Mobile Money in Africa
The uptake of mobile money (MM) especially in developing countries has been tremendous. The impact of the uptake has equally been felt including increasing financial inclusion and changing people's lives. There is need to explore ways to further increase the scale and sophistication of MM. evaluating adoption; impact and design of various MM applications needs a solid research foundation. The total value of mobile money transfers in Africa is set to exceed a whopping US$200 by the year 2015, which shows that there is enormous potential in the continent. However, the majority of people in many developing countries still lack access to basic financial services despite vigorous attempts by financial institutions through various initiatives to reach them. There is need for in-depth research to come up with working strategies on ways of extending the mobile money ecosystem to cover a larger percentage of the population in such countries.
The success of M-Pesa in Kenya has demonstrated that mobile financial services can benefit mobile operators and can provide benefits to the ecosystem, including banks, the distribution network, merchants, and companies. Proper implementation of mobile money banking in Africa will empower millions of people while at the same time providing great opportunities for many organizations.

My tan is starting to fade a little now but the scars from my incredible mosquito bites are still holding on. Here are some photographs from an amazing week with my best friends.
View from the kitchen balcony.
We chose Corfu completely at random based on our great Villa Plus holiday last year and where Villa Plus villas were. Corfu was pretty different from my experience of Athens and I could not recommend everything any more, it was great.
We stayed in the small village of San Stefanos, it had completely wound down for the end of season, which made it nice and peaceful, something that became particularly clear when we went to busier parts of the island.
It was just such a nice, relaxing week, I swam in the sea so much and saw more fish than I ever have while doing so. I would actually go as far as to say not only that Corfu is somewhere I'd like to return to but that particular part and even that particular villa!
There were a lot of 'wild' cats around, they were terrible beggars but they were very much up for affection too. We had one that was a nightly visitor. Unfortunately some of them were flea-ridden and a little mangey but overall they seem to be treated pretty well, better than what we saw of the ones in Portugal last year anyway.
Without meaning to sounds like an advert for Villa Plus, it's pretty great that we could do most of our cooking out on a barbecue.
Where the hummingbird moths live.
I came very close to jumping off this when we visited it again when we rented our own boat, but I bottled it due to those who had jumped 'swearing' that it looked much shallower that time around.
I'm really pleased with how some of the underwater photos turned out, despite being very waterproof it does now rest in peace. I really do think it will be worth getting a new one before we head out on our next holiday though.
First live wild starfish!
If you look closely you can just about see the dolphins.
It was kind of difficult to not feel a pang of cat broodiness when I saw cats as little as this one.
Our villa is the one right in the middle.

Crocs on the Catwalk
