So few months ago, I decided to hit the gym. I needed to build up some muscles and bulk in my body for a modelling assignment 2 months later. I tried asking a lot of friends, and checked several websites online to zero down on a fine supplement. Some of my friends suggested http://www.enutriments.com/ for the best nutrients they know about.
After couple of months of using it, I must say I think I really made a good decision. If any of you is looking for such nutritional supplement, I would suggest you guys to go and visit this website and look out for yourself.
Other day one of my friend's was also looking for a nutrition supplement. However, unlike me, he did not want to go to the gym, he just wanted to add some nutrients to his diet. You know, all the minerals, vitamins etc which you require daily, but are not met with all the junk food we eat. E-nutriments is i guess one of the best supplements to fill up the gap between our diet and our body requirements.
Anyways, if any of my lovely readers has tried any such nutritious supplements, then please let me know which one is your favorite.

The insurance market waxes and wanes in unpredictable cycles, vacillating between hard and soft markets. When insurance pricing is stable or falling, it is referred to as a soft market. Soft markets have generally predominated in recent decades.
Hard markets, on the other hand, are characterized by quickly rising insurance premium costs (typically by 15 per cent or more across the board) and shrinking capacity by insurers. During hard markets, insurance buyers are often forced to forgo excess coverage, sacrifice investments or revise budgets to accommodate rising insurance costs.
2013 was the costliest year in history for the Canadian insurance industry in terms of natural catastrophic losses from a large number of weather-related disasters, especially floods. Given 2013's wild weather, many predicted the insurance market would "harden" to account for all the losses. Although rates did tick up slightly, the market has remained soft and will likely do the same for much of 2014.
So, what will the 2014 market pricing look like?
Thus far, we've seen that rates are remaining fairly stable, with only catastrophe-exposed property rates expected to be impacted by price increases. Catastrophe-exposed businesses will likely see tighter wording restrictions and increased deductibles in response to the Alberta and Ontario floods this past summer. Despite the uncertainty about how to move forward, there has so far been little movement overall with respect to rates or increased underwriting discipline.

Tesa and I are trying to teach the boys about spending money wisely. It is hard because even we have to work on our spending habits. Josiah has a bank that has three compartments in it, one for savings, one for spending and one for charity. Noah did not get the fancy bank so he is using washed out peanut butter jars. This is the first day that we tried this and I wanted to teach them about putting money in each of their banks accordingly. We got all of their money out of their "All" detergent bottles and put it on the floor. Then I would take ten quarters and put them in front of the bank and have them put one into "Charity or Church" first then one into "Savings" and the rest they could do with as they pleased. Noah caught on right away that the rest could go into "Spending." Josiah was a little more generous by splitting up the rest into the three banks equally. Of course Noah had something that he wanted to purchase right away, so he knew where he wanted it to go.
After they were done putting their money into their banks we took a look at how much was in each compartment of their banks. Noah immediately wanted to take his out of spending and put it into a container to take to the store. Josiah had some birthday money so he didn't want to take it out of the spending but rather just the money that he received for his birthday.
During this whole time Tesa was nervous about a couple of different things; first and foremost was that all of the coins were on the floor with Dahlia very close, then there was the aspect of what are they going to spend their money on. This is where the thought of the day comes into play.
I was thinking as Tesa said "You don't want to see your children spend their money on things that are only going to hold their interest for a couple of days. Then the things are just going to sit around the house." I thought of this and as she was saying it I had the thought that God was speaking through her by saying "Phil watch where you spend your money." I am sure that it is very hard for God to look at me and watch where I am spending my money. Because it is not even MINE! It is HIS! He wants us to use His money in things that will take care of us for the daily needs and also to further His kingdom. The money that we spend here on earth is only for a couple of days when compared to eternity. We are just going purchase something then it will all be burnt up. We should spend our money on the eternal souls of those that are around us. True that He does want us to enjoy life and to have the necessities but that does not mean that we should have the extravagances of life. We should be out of debt and able to help those around us but it is very hard to be in debt and help when we are the ones that are struggling to pay the interest on the things that we thought that we needed today but couldn't pay for today.
Our church's goal as well as Phil and Tesa's goal is to be out of debt. Just think of the things that God could do with the interest that we pay the creditors.
We want our children to never have to take out a loan for anything. I am glad that we are starting today!

Thirty (30) administrators from the TESDA schools and training centers from all over the Philippines attended an Executive Development Course on Strategic Planning held at the National TVET Trainers Academy in Marikina City, Philippines from February 26-March 2, 2018.
The program was a partnership between the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), National TVET Trainers Academy (NTTA) and the Colombo Plan Staff College (CPSC), with the latter providing the material content, program design and expertise. It elaborated on strategic management as a process for setting both long-term and short-term strategic directions for the TESDA-administered schools in the country.
The Director General, Dr. Ramhari Lamichhane and CPSC's Faculty Consultant, Dr. Chithral Ambawatte, provided the main academic supervision as the resource person and program coordinator, respectively. In addition, the Acting Research and Publications Officer, Mr. Rae Emmanuel Echaveria and the Executive Secretary, Mr. Bryan Lazaro, also provided assistance to the resource persons as program facilitators.
Meanwhile, the Director of NTTA, Mr. Edward dela Rosa and Chief TESD Specialist, Mr. Elysius Fondevilla, provided the support to the logistics to the program as the institutional coordinators. The design and methodology of the program focused on the ways of formulating of the institutional vision, mission, strategic goals, objectives, strategies and activities as practiced during the creation of the periodic Strategic Plan adopted by CPSC. These approaches were embarked in order to instill the relevance of this said plan to the development of a TVET institution as well as to understand its role in its continued sustainability and progress.
The opening program was held on February 26, 2018 and was attended by the TESDA Deputy Director General for Policies and Planning, Dir. Rosanna Urdaneta. In her opening speech, she stressed the expectations of TESDA to the administrators in coming up with a viable and realizable institutional development plan (IDPs), which is necessary for TESDA to know their directions and possible interventions. Likewise, she affirmed CPSC's expertise in this particular intervention and hoped for a productive and relevant training session that will impart lessons for the participants as they return to their own localities.
The five-day activity was well-received by the participants and considered them to be timely and relevant to the development of their institutions. As communicated by NTTA itself, the course received an excellent feedback and rating from the participants. It is hoped as well that a similar program will be organized in March 2018 to benefit more TESDA administrators.

Coming Soon To A Garage Near You
It's done. I finished the garage. Everything is in it's place. And it's MAGNIFICENT. Well, magnificent in a college-dorm play-room type of way. I'd say frat-basement, but those are skanky and there's usually sports-type crap around and I don't care about that.
So, now we wait for the pool table to be delivered and installed! Which should (knock on wood) be around the 15th!

I'm using an american crafts 6x6 modern album. My foundation pages are different sizes. Ali Edwards writes about this project: December Daily is an album that documents the month of December leading up to Christmas day (and sometimes beyond – that's completely up to you). It is a chance to reflect, to share, to celebrate the season in a manageable, in-the-moment way. The entire key to this album is to put it together BEFORE December.
My plan is to document every day from first of advent to Christmas day. Every evening i will print one or a few photos (on my new photo printer, yey!) and put on that days foundation page. I will also add journaling and other bits and pieces. Most of my pages will not have page protectors, I will just stick the photo directly on the patterned paper or the cardstock. The foundation of all my pages are kraft colored cardstock that i punched holes in with my crop a dile.
Some pages in my album are a bit different, I got most my inspiration from Alis wonderful albums. Here are a few examples of my different pages:
December 17th is an envelope. I think I will put some notes in it and maybe some photos. I might stick a small photo on the front as well.
December first is just a tiny strip. I will how ever use the backside of the day before so there is plenty of space to add photos and words.
December 15th is just a 6x6 pageprotector that I have stitched so I easily can slip a 4x6 photo in there.
I will share my pages with you as a put my album together. I can't wait to start :-)

Mr. Ian Karmel on delicious things enjoyed on recent travels:
"I had cheese steaks in Philly, BBQ in Austin, breakfast burritos in Austin and Panda Express in the Mall of America... but the best thing I had on the whole trip has to be the Juicy Lucy in Minneapolis, a hamburger with cheese INSIDE of it. WHAT!? HOW? Dark magics, only explanation."
Mr. Kyle Kinane on accidentally eating a chocolate chip cookie with bacon in it:
"Yeah, it was disgusting at first, but it got better the more that I ate it."
These two are making the Business their dessert after some seriously sexy Competitive Erotic Fan Fiction (http://
event/263704) where they will be battling a few of your Business regulars for erotic supremacy.
We are happy to welcome Ian Karmel. Ian came from an improv background, which included time with The Groundlings and the Upright Citizens Brigade. Ian was honored as the 2011 Funniest Person in Portland, won the 2010 Portland Amateur Comedy Competition and has performed at the Bridgetown Comedy Festival, Bumbershoot, Portland's Helium Comedy Club, Philadelphia's Helium Comedy Club, Austin's Cap City Comedy Club, Seattle's Comedy Underground and Los Angeles' Comedy Store. In addition to stand-up, Karmel has appeared on television, playing a character in IFC's sketch show Portlandia and as a post-game analyst and commentator for the Portland Trailblazers.
Friend of the show and Iron Comic CHAMPION Kyle Kinane will join us as well. Kyle Kinane has been up and at it for almost half his life, mostly searching for what "it" might be.

He was called "bleak and misanthropic" by the London Evening Standard, which he still feels may be a compliment.
We are also very pleased that Chris Garcia and Alex Koll have returned from their adventures to join us this week. There is still a Chris Thayer sized hole in our hearts, but he would want us all to enjoy the show even though he can't be here.

Bentra Golf Course in Whitehead has been honoured as a Showcase Centenary Field at the Fields in Trust Awards earlier this month.
Centenary Fields is a national initiative which aims to protect war memorial fields, parks and green spaces created in memory of those who lost their lives during World War I.
It was launched last year by His Royal Highness, the Duke of Cambridge.
From 1915 to 1917, Whitehead was home to the first military aviation facility in Ireland - one that played an important role in the First World War.
Royal Naval Air Service airships based at Bentra patrolled the waters between Ireland and Scotland, combatting the German U-boat menace.
Hosted by BBC sports and news broadcaster Ore Oduba at Lords Cricket Ground, the Fields in Trust Awards celebrated the achievements of the Trust and its partners, who have worked over the last year to ensure that everyone has access to protected outdoor recreational space.
During the ceremony, Mid and East Antrim Borough Council was also named Northern Ireland Partner of the Year.
Attending the event were MEA's Director of Operations, Philip Thompson, along with Councillor Andrew Wilson, chairman of the Operational Committee.
"Well done to Bentra Golf Course on receiving recognition as a Showcase Centenary Field - this is the result of hard work over a number of years," Cllr Wilson said.
"Mid and East Antrim Council has several Fields in Trust including Bentra. George V Park in Ballymena and Sandy Bay Playing Fields in Larne, Eden Playing Fields in Carrickfergus, Diamond Jubilee Wood in Whitehead and Inver Memorial Garden in Larne are also involved.
"Bentra Golf Course is within the boundary of the historic borough of Carrickfergus. Baron Carrickfergus, HRH The Duke of Cambridge, is President of Fields in Trust, and it would be special if he was able to visit in the not too distant future to recognise the award.
"Well done also to Mid and East Antrim Borough Council on receiving the award for Partner of the Year in the NI local authority category."

Too early to tell
No data yet on North-South Highway leg use
Chad Bryan, Gleaner Writer
After less than a month of paid use, it is too early to start compiling data on the number of vehicles utilising the leg of the North-South Highway which bypasses Mount Rosser, technical services director of the National Road Operating and Construction Company (NROCC), Stephen Shaw, has said.
Shaw added, however, that the roadway has been operating as expected, reducing travel time between Linstead, St Catherine, and Moneague, St Ann, by up to 40 per cent.
Early last month, the highway segment was opened, offering motorists free passage until early September. The roadway is the first of the three legs of the North-South link of Highway 2000 to be completed.
Since the opening some motorists complained that they developed mechanical problems because of the highway's steep incline. The All-Island Truckers Association of Jamaica also protested about the $1,000 toll fee class three vehicles are required to pay, which is coupled with already high costs.
However, according to Shaw, complaints appear to have somewhat waned, as he has not been receiving any. In August, a number of organisations, including the National Road Safety Council (NRSC), declared the roadway safe after an inspection tour.
Representatives of Zoukie Trucking, the island's largest container transportation com-pany, have expressed dissatisfaction over not being able to utilise toll cards or tags, as well as the narrowness of Mount
Rosser back to Linstead leg.
"We use this every day. The Mount Rosser side coming back to Linstead is too narrow. You can go through with wide load, but coming back from Mount Rosser, the toll booth is too narrow. The other section, Linstead to Mount Rosser, is fine," the Zoukie representative said.
NO TOLL TAgS
He added that "the toll tags that we have cannot be used there, and they don't use the toll cards. They are proposing that we purchase requisition books". However, he said, requisition books are primitive.
Shaw explained that multiple trucks have been driving on the new roadway and that a wider lane can be created to accommodate trucks carrying large cargo. "If there is extra-wide load, A barrier can be adjusted to facilitate movement. Calling ahead to notify the toll plaza can also be done," he said.
On the issue of using tags and cards, Shaw stated that when the other legs of the highway - Caymanas to Linstead and Moneague to Ocho Rios - are completed by 2016, then toll tags will be implemented.

This type of inventory provides the customer with a list of each item in inventory as well as the quantity. Also available, generally at no additional cost, are values and item descriptions. If the customer's stock is bar coded, these items can be scanned. The final listing is generally left with the customer at the end of the inventory count and is provided on floppy disk. Results may also be sent to the customer's main office on floppy disk, via modem or presented on magnetic tape. A paper listing is also provided, at no extra cost, when requested.
Today's technology allows every business owner to track stock status. Even the best point-of-sale system can become 'out of focus' due to shrinkage, undocumented returns, mis-entered invoices, etc. So a periodic physical count is needed to refresh the system's stock level status.
Inventory Professionals Inc. can take your inventory at the UPC/SKU level using our state-of-the-art data collecting equipment. We are able to scan and report a wide selection of pertinent inventory data involving price, description, and other related aspects of an item such as color, size, cost and manufacturer, to name a few. Inventories can be summarized in financial terms, or produce an inventory data file to incorporate into your system.

We'll be serving coffees and croissants for the early birds. Join us in the morning, grab your badge and avoid the queue!

talks about
09:15 - 10:00The Magic of Color⬇⬆
10:00 - 10:45The Samsung Internet Story: Why Samsung Made a Web Browser⬇⬆
Peter O'Shaughnessy
talks about
As the third most used mobile web browser in Europe according to StatCounter, Samsung Internet is "the biggest browser you've probably never heard of!". This is the story of why we are developing our own browser and contributing into the open source Chromium project. Plus the web technologies we're most excited about and how we want to help push the web forwards. This talk will reveal the behind-the-scenes history of the browser and what it means for web developers. It will also touch on the wider themes of browser diversity and the rise of the "Chromia" - multiple browsers based on Chromium.
10:45 - 11:00Break
talks about
11:00 - 11:45Real world connectivity: Beyond the bubble (performance, emerging markets)⬇⬆
Ben Schwarz
talks about
Every talk you'll hear about 'web performance' will tell you that shaving 100ms from response time produced a 1% sales yield for Amazon, or maybe that 40% of web visitors will abandon your site when it takes more then 3 seconds to load? While those are impressive, there are some more interesting metrics that we need to talk about.
Did you know that 43% of the humans on this planet have access to the internet, but 57% do not? Did you know that in 2016 India brought 100 million NEW users to the internet for the very first time? When you take a glance into the current state of global connectivity, you might realise that the internet you think you know so well exists on an entirely different plane.
Through the guise of user-experience and empathy, we'll study the state of global connectivity, connection speeds, population, and the costs of data in order to re-centre how we think about our role as designers and developers for the web today.
11:45 - 12:30Why we need a better browser⬇⬆
12:30 - 14:00Lunch time!
talks about
14:00 - 14:45Magic Tricks with CSS Houdini⬇⬆

What's available today and where, what's going to be available in the future
Practical examples, with code, that can be played with today
As what is available is currently being worked on, this talk with be as up-to- date of an overview of what's available and coming in the future as can be provided. This stuff is definitely in the future type stuff, but learning about it now will prepare attendees for what they can expect browsers to be capable of doing in the upcoming years.
14:45 - 15:30The future of Virtual and Augmented Realty for the web⬇⬆

Kenneth Rohde Christiansen
talks about
The improvements in size, features and price of hardware has ushered new opportunities in creating small, smart devices (aka internet-of-things) which can be integrated in homes and industries. In these places, the devices can help automate common tasks, as well as give information about the state of things, such as temperature of a machine, air quality etc.
Installing an app for one such devices might seem fine at first, but it doesn't scale nicely to 100s of devices, or devices you seldom interact with, like in an industrial setting. Devices might even have different security restrictions, like being locked behind a physical key.
So how do we communicate with these devices? The web has always been known for its low fraction and easy onboarding. No need to install any software, just type in a URL and off you go. And it has always been very secure with its sandbox system, and companies can even have URLs be restricted to certain WiFi networks (intranet).
In the last couple of years, the web has taken a quantum leap in usability, with offline support, and many ways to make the experience very app-like. So the question is unavoidable, can the web be the platform to make smart devices succeed?
The web lives in a sandbox, and its security model has allowed people to trust it and for it to grow enormously over time, but the world is changing around us. There is a growing need to access new hardware capabilities such as sensors or just connect to devices around us.
The great news is that the web sandbox is growing with new capabilities and with new security models, allowing us to connect to devices via Bluetooth, USB or even talk NFC. There are now even ways to directly get magnetometer readings on Android devices.
In this talk we will look at this new landscape and how it enables the new wave of smart devices. We will also look at how easy it is to use some of these new APIs.
Come join me for a look at how the web can make your smart devices success

Developers don't always take a step back to think about how they be better at learning and teaching: at engaging and audience and building a bigger product community. That's where technical diagramming can really make an impact. Using visuals can help you unblock your work, uncover bugs, and even have a better understanding of a technical concept you thought you had already mastered. This talk will go over some of those benefits and how to use doodling and technical diagramming in your own work to be a more effective developer and community member.

Eric Muntz
talks about
MailChimp supports more than 16 million users who deliver more than a billion emails per day. None of this would be possible without the web! MailChimp's developers love the web because it allows them to efficiently provide high-quality tools carefully designed for their users. The web allows MailChimp and the small businesses MailChimp supports to be themselves, and that makes all the difference. This talk will focus on success stories and lessons learned from embracing the web and development practices to be successful using the web to provide high-quality software to small businesses.

Academics Claim "Crypto-Colonialism" Rampant in Puerto Rico• https://news.bitcoin.com, Samuel Haig
The opinion piece is authored by lecturer in accounting and finance at Anglia Ruskin University in the UK, Larisa Yarovaya, and professor of international finance and commodities at Trinity College Dublin, Brian Lucey.
The article states that the devastation wrought by Hurricane Maria in 2017 has left Puerto Rico "desperately" in need of "investment to rebuild the island's infrastructure," and compounded severe pre-existing financial difficulties faced by the territory. It is said financial difficulties, the authors argue, that has lead to "local authorities […] cautiously welcoming the arrival of cryptocurrency entrepreneurs on the island."
The authors conclude that Puerto Rico's "Resources and infrastructure, post-Hurricane Maria, are too stretched to support cryptocurrency mining on the island" – pointing to recent power outages that left as many as 175,000 businesses and households without power for many hours, on top of the 400,000 Puerto Ricans who have remained without power for nearly five months since the hurricane/

This 1952 Fender Telecaster was found in the barn after the original owner passed away. He bought it new and played it all his life. He refinished the guitar a couple of times and lost the original pickguard along the way. The original bridge has two cutouts on either sides of the saddles but we are unable to determine why. It appears that two half washers were welded to support the cutouts.
It's always fun to buy vintage guitars like this. Vintage Fender electric guitars are prized for their tone and aesthetic beauty. I buy vintage guitars and am always looking for more. Are you searching for where to sell vintage guitars? Let me know what you have.

Using Ibuprofen After Surgery: Does It Increase Bleeding Risk?
New research suggests that ibuprofen does not increase the risk of bleeding after plastic surgery procedures.
New research suggests that ibuprofen does not increase the risk of bleeding after plastic surgery procedures.
Published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, a report outlines the results of a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies comparing ibuprofen with other pain medications for patients undergoing plastic surgery-related operations. The researchers reviewed a total of 881 publications. After examining their findings, they found 4 studies in which 443 patients were randomly assigned to ibuprofen or other medications. Procedures included in the study: cosmetic facial surgery, breast cancer surgery, hernia repair, and skin cancer surgery and reconstruction.
TRENDING ON CPA: White House Continues Efforts to Curb Opioid, Heroin Abuse
Using the same ibuprofen dose (400mg every 4 hours), all of the study medications provided "good pain control," the assembled data suggested. Seven percent of patients assigned to ibuprofen and 11% assigned to comparison drugs — acetaminophen, acetaminophen plus codeine, or the prescription-only NSAID ketorolac — reported dissatisfaction with their pain treatment.
The researchers also found that ibuprofen and other treatments were similar in terms of bleeding risks: 3.4% percent with ibuprofen and 4.1% with other treatments. There was no significant difference noted regarding bleeding events (p = 0.32).
The study's limitations include procedures where bleeding and hematomas are easily detectable. The investigators also point out the small numbers of studies and patients included
Even though ibuprofen was found to be a safe postoperative analgesic in patients undergoing common plastic surgery soft-tissue procedures, additional studies are needed to vet this issue further, the authors wrote.

starsports.com witnesses huge traffic during IPL 7 auction
MUMBAI: The digital arm of Star Sports – starsports.com – seems to be living up to its claim of being known as the YouTube of sports in India. The portal witnessed a huge traffic when it streamed the two day auction of the Pepsi Indian Premiere League (IPL) 2014 with five-minute delay.
The reach of the auction managed to outmatch Sony Six's 2013 Pepsi IPL player auction numbers, claims the website as it attracted close to 680,000 visits over the two days.
Last year, the IPL auction on Sony Six witnessed traffic of 404,000 viewers with average time spent being 25 minutes in the male SEC ABC 15+ demographic.
In comparison, starsports.com reached 387,000 viewers with average time spent on the web being 31 minutes on each day.
Star India EVP and head new media Ajit Mohan said: "We had decided to produce a high quality show around the auctions, with commentary and analysis from Harsha Bhogle and Sourav Ganguly. This is a vindication of our approach. The Indian consumer is evolving fast and more and more consumers want to catch action while on the move. We are convinced that this year, the mobile screen will be where the action will be for IPL."
The highest growth in traffic was seen in the first session of the auction on 12 February when marquee players like Yuvraj Singh and Kevin Pietersen were going under the hammer. The traffic peaked at 3 pm on 12 February. And almost 60 per cent of the traffic was from sports fans between the age of 18-24 years, and almost all of the traffic was in the coveted male demographics.
starsports.com is India's first multi-sports digital service with availability across the web and mobile. Powered by live and video rights, it covers the best of world sports including major cricket tournaments, BPL, La Liga and Serie A in football, F1, hockey and tennis. This year, for the first time, all IPL matches will be available on the portal after it won the online streaming rights from Indiatimes.com this time around.

In every place that I've traveled to so far, I have climbed a very tall object (usually towers but the Duomo in Florence and I'm counting the Mountains in Cinque Terre) to see the view.
Quiz: Name the Italian landscapes below. Choices (out of every place that I have visited so far, in order): Florence, Siena, Pienza, Cinque Terre, Venice, Prato, Pisa, Lucca, Bologna.
My day:
7:30- Get up. It is already light outside. I live with 4 other girls in the biggest room in the Villa. Although we each have an alarm, it is still very hard to get out of bed.
8:20- Eat breakfast. Breakfast is served from 7:30-9:30 Monday through Friday.
Every day we have bread with our choice of either nutella,
homemade jam (strawberry or raspberry), or homemade peanut butter. The bread comes in loaves very unlike those in America- you have to cut them with a big knife. The peanut butter is amazing- basically peanuts cut up into little pieces until they become spreadable.
Fruit is always present- I suggest putting the peanut butter on the rare bananas or the plentiful sweet green apples. The kiwis here are pretty normal- although I have am thoroughly harassed because I eat them with the skin on. I avoid the blood oranges. I've tried each of the three cereals that are offered- one tastes like Special K, the other Frosted Flakes without the Frosted, and the third is basically granola with dried fruit and raisins which is surprisingly good and very filling.
8:45- Leave the Villa. Hope that we didn't leave anyone behind.
9:00- Validate our train tickets and get on the Train. In Italy you buy your train and bus tickets at a convenience-type store ahead of time. At the train station or in the bus you swipe the tickets at a machine to stamp them with the location, date, and time. If you are caught without a validated ticket then you can be fined up to 50 Euros.
9:30- Meet our Art and Culture professor in Florence. (No worries, she does not think that I am a TOTAL idiot anymore.) We spend the morning (or the afternoon on some days) listening and scribbling in our little notebooks as we walk around onsite. We each have a receiver that hangs around our necks as we flock around our professor like a little hoard of tourist ducks. Sacrifice fashion for knowledge. We. Are. Honors!
We do try and dress like locals- which means no flipflops and no shorts (for guys and girls). When we visit churches dresses and skirts need to be long enough, and our shoulders have to be covered.
13:00- We're back in Sesto at the Villa for lunch, just taken either the train or bus back. At this point I am usually sweaty and ready for a nap. It is 7am in the US.
Lunch always starts off with soup: any and every type of soup goes. None of them have been gross... yet. The day we had split pea soup I almost refused- but I ended up having two full bowls once I tried it. After the soup usually comes veggies and hopefully meat. We eat a lot of carbs around here and when meat is served there is a mad dash toward the food. Battle of the fittest. We end up trading the meat for the next week or so for precious commodities like shampoo, museum passes, power adaptors, and gelado. Not really. But speaking of Gelato- we eat gelato almost everyday. For the first two weeks or so I never had a repeat flavor. Many times I don't know what the flavor is but they always end up being pretty darn good.
14:30- Attend our Galileo class taught by our other professor. For two hours we discuss the details of anything that could possibly be connected to Galileo. Very rarely our Art class will also be at the villa for two hours if we do not go into Florence.
17:00- Spend one hour in our honors seminar. It does not count for credit but is mandatory. Luckily it's usually pretty interesting. Yesterday we got into an argument about whether Galileo was a jerk or not.
19:00- Dinner is usually pasta. I do not complain. We've seen many repeats of styles, unlike the soups, but they are all very good. Everything here is very fresh and homemade by the Villa's cook.
Dessert forks at each place setting make us really excited. When there is no fork we will wait for a long time after we eat until we are absolutely sure that no cookies or surprise desserts are coming. You never know when a dessert will show up, and it's better to wait an extra ten minutes than possibly miss it!
My favorite dessert has been homemade vanilla ice cream with fresh strawberries. I could eat that everyday, all day. I had tiramisu for the first time: I hope to be having it again. I gave carrot cake another chance and it really proved that you can make amazing dessert out of vegetables.
19:40-(hopefully before) 1:00- homework. We have about 50-110 pages of Galileo reading a night; usually a one-pager about a topic that we pick out from the reading to comment on. For almost every seminar we have a one-pager due on a topic chosen the previous day. We have about 100-200 pages of Art reading a week. So far we have had two 4-5 page Galileo analysis papers and two 500-1000 word Art reaction papers. We still have a 6-7 page Art research paper, 4-6 page final Galileo paper, and a written Galileo exam before the program ends on the 16th of June.
I am more busy here than I am at UofM. Plus it is even harder to work here because the opportunity costs are so much higher. Every moment I spend reading or writing I could be wandering the Villa gardens, or Sesto, or Florence, or Italy instead!
But I truly am trying to make the most of being here. I cannot turn down an experience, even if that means setting my school
work aside.
-For example: Last night I had 100 pages of Galileo reading to do but I went into Florence from 20:00-23:00 to watch a concert that the UofM Opera students who are also staying at the villa had been preparing for the past few weeks. They sung all of their pieces in Italian, the little church was a perfect Italian venue, and the Italian Opera singer was so Italian Diva as well. I could never turn down music, let alone Italian Opera.
-For example: This past weekend I ran on 5-6 hours of sleep so that I could go to Pisa and Lucca from 8am to 9pm on Friday and Bologna from 8am to 8pm on Saturday. Let's just say that my Sunday was terrible.
I loved Lucca especially- the city is still surrounded by its old brick walls. We walked the circumference of the city on the walls. All of the local people run and bike under the rows of green trees. Imagine living in a fairytale land, guarded against the harsh bustle of the world by your own private walls.
It truly felt like we were the only tourists there (which is a very foreign feeling).
The weekend before, we went to Venice (6:30 am Friday- 8pm Saturday).
I loved that the whole city was just perched on the water. Imagine never driving a car- instead you took your boating test when you turn 16.
Imagine your whole life being interconnected with bridges.
So far all of my travels have really allowed me to get a feeling for where I am. I feel satisfied with the amount of time that I have spent in each place. Not only have I gone into many museums and about a billion churches and cathedrals (I am a nerd through and through), plus seen amazing birds-eye views, but I have explored the towns like a native. It is a great feeling- to really get to know so much of Italy.
Speaking of those views: The first picture is from the top of the Duomo in Firenze. The next two were taken from the Leaning Tower. In the one below the swath of green trees marks the walls of Lucca. Venice is surrounded and swallowed by water in the looming distance and the entire view from Cinque Terre was just beautiful, stretching sea. Siena is the next one with that pink tint. The final city (before the fail tourist picture of me holding up the Leaning Tower of Pisa) is Bologna which I thought was the most modernized city that we've seen (if you can even call it modernized at all). Bologna has wide sidewalks covered with overhead arches. Maybe you can see the line of that main street taking up space as it cuts through the city.
I am learning about the progression of art through the Renaissance. I am learning about mathematics and science, intention and lies. I am learning how to think in military time, how to avoid cars in the streets of Florence, how to use public transportation, how to listen to opera. I am learning to live another life. Even with the homework; the lack of sleep, it is whirlwind beautiful and unbelievable.

How to get your dream job?
Dare to ask. Asking for a reference feels strange for many of us. However, this is the way how you can get an edge over other applicants. A study by Beyond.com and Future Workplace shows that 71% of surveyed headhunters, HR managers, and other employees saw a benchmark as the most decisive source of new employees. While only 7% of job seekers are using credentials to find their dream job.
The majority of job seekers scrolls endlessly on job websites, while in the most times it's more effective and easier to ask a friend, a friend of a friend or a former colleague that directly resume you to the right person. It sounds very logical, but many are hiding behind the digital display or just DO NOT DARE.
Still not convinced? Founder and CEO of Beyond.com Rich Milgram says:
"If you qualify for an open position, and you are referred, you will get an interview,"
This is a gigantic hole where you can take advantage of.
Network. Always and everywhere
The current group of job seekers has lost the power of networking in mind. The power of networking is having good conversations with good people before you need one another. Meet people from different industries and different companies. When they ask you for a favor, help them. Even if it is a company where you have never seen it like to be is to maintain these connections and maintaining interest. One time that connection will be essential value for you and helps you find your dream job.
See the win-win situation
Possibly you see asking for a reference as a great favor. See it different, unless you are seriously incompetent, asking for a reference is precisely what the company want. You are suitable for the job, not just the person who recommended you helps you, but he also helps the company. Companies wishing to receive credentials.
Ask for inside information
Are you interested in a company that operates with a friend or connection? Ask for his / her opinion about the office and whether he / she is happy. You will learn a lot about the company before you have taken action. This will save you much time.
Close the deal
By word of mouth you have heard that a released job is coming that's written you like a glove. This connection can help you get your letter to the right person. This gives you so much ahead of other candidates. Take action.
Of course, you should have your shit together during the job interview and the interview will be decisive. However, you will always have an edge over your competitors because you are recommended by an internal person.
So stop the scrolling for hours on job sites and check your network, look at your dream company and dare.
Now you also have time to check; 10 dream jobs you never knew existed

In graphic surveillance footage, a Maryland woman is seen ramming her husband with her SUV, killing him. She was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in what's being called a tough case for the jury.
Jurors convicted 38-year-old Araceli Alvarez Mendoza of involuntary manslaughter in the August 2015 SUV versus pedestrian killing of her husband, Fernando Fragoso-Duana, on Seabrook Road in Lanham, Maryland near their home. The woman's husband was pinned between the vehicle and a tree and died from traumatic injuries.
Prince George's County prosecutor said Alvarez-Mendoza testified that her marriage was frequently violent, but police had never been called.

Me and the Banyan Tree
I associate my self with the 'Banyan tree'. Banyan tree starts from a single root but spreads across miles and each new branch gets rooted in the new soil, same time the original root stays solid in place. Like the banyan tree I have traveled lot ,lived in different cultures,different countries, made friends of different nationalities, learnt a lot along the way but never forgot my original roots.The process of growing for me is always been adding new things to what is existing, not throwing the old away.
I am a married lady, having two grown up sons, I live with my husband,love traveling , I have been quilting since 1999. Entered international exhibition in Houston as a finalist in 2009 with my quilt "Mahabat Maqbara" .
I am a two times winner of best of show in Kuwait up till now and winning several other prizes to several quilts and judges choice too. Most of my quilts my winning quilts are original compositions based on the photographs I take. I work as a quilt instructor for several techniques , lecture and demo for the group often and volunteer as a news letter editor/webmaster to our group-web site. http://www.kuwaittextilearts.org
My hobbies are photography,quilting,arts and craft ,and fun sports. I love out door activities. Fairly good player of chess and scrabble. Love swimming . I find peace in being with nature.
All the photographs posted in this blog are taken and owned by myself .

McNaughton: I've contacted the shops in my area (via FB) and sent them the link to add their business. Some have already done this-so, the lists are growing every day.
Anonymous June 26, 2013 at 2:29 am #86161

Hi Jane, sounds like you have quite a collection. I just started collecting Fieta ware, wanted dishes not made in China and since I AM from West Virginia thought dishes made here would fit the bill. Love all the colors. Good luck with the renovation.
