(Urgent & Confidential) From: Tony Williams RUE: 521 Cocody Abidjan Cote D' Ivoire West Africa. Hello dear, It is my pleasure to write you after much consideration, since I cannot be able to see you face to face at first. Being the only son of my father, late Mr. Smith Williams from Sierra-Leone Africa (WA) I am 23 years of age. My father was limited liability Diamond and Gold merchant in Freetown Sierra-Leone before his untimely death. After his business trip to abidjan to nagociate on a Good Investment business he wanted to invest in abidjan. A week after he came back from abidjan , he got an accident with my mother of which my mother died instantly but my father died after five days in a private hospital on that faithful afternoon, I didn´t know that my father was going to leave me after I had lost my mother, but before he gave up the ghost, it was as if he knew he was going to die. He my father, (MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PERFECT PEACE) he disclosed to me that he deposited sum of $12,000,000,00 US Dollars (Twelve Million Dollars) in a security company here in abidjan That the money was meant for his Diamond and Gold company he wanted to establish in abidjan though, according to my father he deposited the money in a trunk box but declared it as vital family belongings. He single handed me the key of the box and the deposit certificate and instructed me to seek for a reliable and trust worthy business partner for my life time investment abroad. Now I have succeeded in locating the security company here in abidjan also confirmed the items with most honest and confidentiality. Now I am soliciting for your assistance to help me lift this money out from abidjan to your safe account abroad so that we should invest it in any meaningful lucrative business in your country because this is myonly hope in life. I am willing to offer you 10% of the total fund if only you can help me out of my present predicament. Awaiting anxiously to hear from you so that we can discuss the modalities of this transaction. I thank you for your understanding while i will be waiting for your immediate response. Yours sincerely. Tony Williams

If you are a frequent reader of my website you know that I talked about going vegetarian or maybe even vegan. To recap, I decided to change my lifestyle for several reasons and going vegetarian or vegan fills me with excitement and hope. I am an endurance athlete (well, I run a lot … mainly marathons at the moment though) and my body simply needs a lot more energy compared to someone who sits behind a desk all day. While I work in an office, I use a standing desk but I am also very active in general and I am just not happy anymore with how I feel and about my overall energy levels. While I am not eating junk food or drink sodas there is still a lot of food that I consume that is not as good as it could be and that has affected my overall well-being quite a bit. So, for the next 60-90 days I want to live more like a vegan/vegetarian and stop eating processed foods and meats as much as possible. My goal is to have a 90 percent ratio of eating vegetarian/vegan foods and 10 percent other foods. Those remaining 10 percent are probably bread or contain dairy, but other than that I want to stay as close as possible to a full vegetarian lifestyle as possible.
I also do not want to go cold-turkey and so I am slowly fading out non-vegetarian foods and at the same time increase the amount of vegetarian/vegan foods in my life. One reason of course is that I still have a lot of normal food in my pantry and I do not want to throw it all away. I know that I am eating too much bread and that will be the most difficult thing for me to cut back from. I grew up on (good) bread and that is a habit hard to break. I am now over a week into this journey and things have been working out very well so far.
Anyway, I recently listened to the audio book of Rich Roll called "Finding Ultra" and that literally was an eye-opening experience for me. If you are not familiar with Rich's story, this book or audio book is definitely worth your time. Not that I necessarily want to attempt competing in the Ultraman competition, but I do take my fitness seriously and I think I have been holding myself back way too much. Yes, I have run several marathons now, but I hurt myself in my last marathon and mostly I am disappointed with myself in regards to the speed I can run at. I am still about 30 minutes too slow to qualify for the Boston marathon and if other people in my age group can do it so should I. I already changed my training up a little bit, but I think it is important to also change my eating lifestyle, too.
So, I started working towards that directions and going on a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle is what I feel is the best step at this moment. While I am overall pretty healthy I think I can and should feel even better. I have done a juice fast 2 years ago and also started eating more vegetables and saw good results. As an example I worked myself off a daily (high) cholesterol medication and my blood levels have been very steady since I stopped taking the cholesterol medication. I just never went far enough to address other issues I am concerned about and now is the time.
I have also been reading the "No Meat Athlete" book and the book "The Plantpower Way" which was written by Rich Roll as well and contains many vegetarian recipes specifically for athletes. That's how I discovered how to make Hemp Milk and so I gave it a try. Hemp Milk has easily turned into one of my most favorite drinks now.
Hemp Milk Recipe: During my weekly Costco runs I had picked up Hemp seeds (Manitoba Harvest) and I am using my trusty NutriBullet for making Hemp milk which works out great. I use one cup of filtered water and about 3-4 tablespoons of Hemp seeds. The NutriBullet gets it all nicely mixed up and after about 1 minute I have a cup of creamy Hemp Milk. I tried it initially and it was Ok, but something was missing for me to really enjoy it. It was too warm and the nutty taste was a bit overwhelming. So, I added a handful of ice cubes from my freezer as well as a tablespoon of honey and that did the trick. I mixed it all again for another 30 seconds and the result was delicious.
I can see this to become one of my favorite recovery drinks. Instead of honey I will mix in a Banana or some Blueberries (or both) and maybe a scoop of Vega Protein Powder depending on the workout. Blueberries have shown in several studies they aid muscle recovery and combined with the protein coming from Hemp seeds this might be worth exploring Hemp Milk as a recovery drink. This would help me to further reduce my dairy intake as I use Lactose-free Chocolate milk as my current recovery drink. So this would be another step towards a more vegetarian/vegan lifestyle.
Are Hemp Seeds safe to eat?
If you have never tried Hemp milk, I highly recommend it. Rest assured – Hemp seeds will not make you fail a drug test at work or so. Hemp Seeds are safe to eat. Hemps seeds are THC free, pesticide free, gluten free, peanut free, and they are extremely easy to digest.
PS: My variation of the Hemp Milk Recipe is based on the Book "The Plantpower Way".

General Mills Retro Box
Read from AdvertisingAge that General Mill has given the U.S. retail store, Target, exclusive on retro box deisgns for Cheerios, Honey Nnt Cheerios, Lucky Charms, Cocoa Puffs and Trix.
I know, it is sad, it is U.S. exclusively again. Hope that the "back-to-the-old-good-days" packages are huge success, so that I can meet them in Canadian supermarkets. Nothing can make me more excited but bringing back Cocoa Puff's original recipe along with the its retro box.

Creative Developers Will Determine the Winners of the AR Wearable War.
The recent explosion in Augmented Reality, Mixed Reality and Virtual Reality glasses (which to spare my RSI I'll from now on refer to as altered reality) has seen almost a device a week appearing. The speed of development and announcements will no doubt see the next wave of patent disputes in a few months time, potentially dwarfing the traditional mobile technology spats.
For now the focus is on the potential of the hardware and which of the competing devices is going to emerge as the market leader.
We will quickly see that the true battleground for the future of altered reality is software and content. The Google Glass hardware was impressive at what it did but most developers, us included, struggled to think of a true killer app.
The hardware just wasn't built with the software developer in mind and those that did exploit it to the full found themselves with some substantial hurdles to overcome.
Just as we saw in the 32 and 64 bit console generations, uptake of the hardware is going to be driven by the available software. This in turn will be driven by installed user base and ease of development for each platform.
At this point we split into 2 market segments. Fixed (i.e. tied to a PC or Mac) and mobile – typically Android although you can strap an Unofficial Cardboard to your face if you want VR on iOS. The content and development process for each segment is going to be quite different.
Mobile Altered Reality
At present mobile wearables face three large problems: battery life, device fragmentation and relevance.
Battery life
This is pretty self explanatory – you can currently run Sony's Augmented Reality glasses for 80 – 150 minutes between charges. They are working on improved battery technology and a solution may come from a different source entirely but for now it's a concerning limitation. Epson's Moverio BT-200 for example is a standalone unit and can run for 6 hours between charges.
Depending on the Android device you'll be using the capabilities of the device can vary hugely. Developers and publishers will have a real testing headache if they're going to support multiple Android powered AR glasses.
In the comfort of our own homes we don't worry so much about new tech robbing us of a little dignity. The Wii balance board and Kinect proved that pretty conclusively.
While you might don the Meta glasses, Oculus Rift or Microsoft's Hololens to experience an altered reality game or experience while attached to your PC you're not going to be leaving the house with them on. Especially Oculus. Even if the front mounted camera arrives as standard you'll have the peripheral vision of a Dalek.
It's going to take the deadliest of killer apps to convince people to wear the current or even the next generation of mobile Augmented Reality glasses on a daily basis. Currently it's simply not on the horizon, especially when you can have a virtually identical experience using your smartphone.
Altered Reality in Computing
For content creators like ourselves this is where glasses are going to find their niche at least initially. With the raw power of even a moderate specification of PC we can achieve things far in advance of what's possible with their mobile equivalents. Add to this the availability of powerful and flexible game engines like UE4 & Unity along with various third party peripherals and controllers and suddenly the sky is the limit.
It may be on a home PC or as part of a curated experience such as training or an experiential. In a more controlled environment, with more processing power and a stable internet connection, the examples shown by Microsoft for their Hololens are just the beginning. As the burst of creativity following the release of the Oculus dev kit has shown, when you give developers access to the hardware they will take it in exciting and unexpected directions.

Rival Lebanese parties, the Hezbollah resistance movement and the Future Movement led by former Prime Minister Saad Hariri, have held ice-breaking dialogue.
The meeting was held at Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri's residence on Tuesday.
Hezbollah was represented by Haj Hussein Khalil, the political assistant of the party's Secretary General Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah, Agriculture Minister Hussein Hajj Hassan and MP Hasan Fadlallah, while Nader Hariri, chief of Hariri's staff, Interior Minister Nouhad Machnouk, and MP Samir Jisr represented the Future Movement.
"Both sides stressed their eagerness and readiness to start a serious and responsible dialogue over various issues, with each group understanding the stance of the other from some disputed topics," said a statement after the meeting, reported Lebanese paper The Daily Star.
Hezbollah and the Future Movement said their dialogue "is not aimed at forming a new political alliance in the country or confronting any political group, hijacking the decision of another or pressuring parties to take certain stances on constitutional events."
The dialogue between the rival parties aims, among other things, to defuse rising Sunni-Shia tensions in the country, facilitating the election of a president, and bolstering counterterrorism efforts.
The Lebanese parliament has failed for the 16th time in a row to elect a president to replace Michel Suleiman whose term expired in May.
The parliament was unable to reach a quorum due to the boycott of sessions by some political groups.

|Effect of Extended-Release Niacin on Saphenous Vein Graft Atherosclerosis: The Atherosclerosis Lesion Progression Intervention Using Niacin Extended Release in Saphenous Vein Grafts (ALPINE-SVG) Pilot Trial
|Brief Summary
Intermediate saphenous vein graft (SVG) lesions are common, have high rates of progression to severe lesions or occlusion, and are associated with high incidence of adverse clinical outcomes.
The ALPINE-SVG trial is a randomized-controlled trial of extended-release niacin vs. placebo in patients with intermediate saphenous vein graft lesions. The main hypothesis of the study is that compared to placebo, niacin administration will result in reduction in percent atheroma volume at 12-month follow-up angiography.
|Detailed Description
This is a phase II, single-center, double-blind trial that will randomize 138 prior CABG patients with an intermediate SVG lesion (30%-60% angiographic diameter stenosis) on clinically-indicated coronary angiography, and HDL-C<60 mg/dL to ER-niacin at a dose of 1500-2000 mg daily or matching placebo (containing 50 mg of niacin that can cause flushing but has no lipid lowering effect) for 12 months. All patients will receive a statin with goal LDL-C <70 mg/dL. Coronary angiography, intravascular ultrasonography (IVUS), and intravascular near-infrared intracoronary spectroscopy (NIRS), and optical coherence tomography (OCT) of the intermediate SVG lesion will be performed at enrollment and after 12 months in each patient, along with exercise stress testing at 1 month and 12 months, B-mode carotid ultrasound imaging at enrollment and after 6 and 12 months, reactive hyperemia peripheral arterial tonometry (RH-PAT) at enrollment and after 6 and 12 months, and with peripheral blood sampling performed at enrollment and at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months, to determine whether compared to placebo, administration of ER-niacin will result in:

Ireland Baldwin Poses Bottomles In Racy New Spread — Pics
Hello, sexy! Ireland Baldwin left little to the imagination in a new photo shoot, where she posed in sexy lingerie and even went completely naked from the waist down. Check out the hot pics!
Ireland Baldwin, 19, is all grown up — and she wants us to know it! The famous daughter of Alec Baldwin, 56, shared provocative new photos on Instagram April 1, in which she bares all in lacy lingerie, and even goes as far as posing totally bottomless. Get it, girl!
[PICS] Ireland Baldwin Nude In Racy New Spread
Alec's young daughter is looking hotter than ever these days, and she's definitely ready to show it off. Her sexy shots were photographed by Tyler Kandel, and posted to the 19-year-old's Instagram. "Thank you@thekandelstudio for all these goodies," she wrote. "until noodles, my friend."
From showing off her toned figure in a lacy bra and underwear set, to wearing no pants or undies at all, Ireland took some major risks in the risqué shoot. In one shot, she even poses topless, covering up her unmentionables with her hands and giving the camera a sultry look.
Hey, if you've got it, flaunt it, right?!
Angel Haze Reveals Her Racy Sex Life With Girlfriend Ireland Baldwin
For more than a year, Ireland has been dating rapper Angel Haze, and in June 2014, Angel even got pretty detailed about the couple's sex life.
"We f–k and friends don't f–k," she told The Independent. "I have never f–ked one of my friends. Once I see you in that way, it doesn't happen. But we do f–k and it's crazy." Earmuffs, Alec!
In March, it was rumored that Ireland and Angel had called it quits on their relationship, but their subsequent loving messages at one another on social media have certainly proved those reports wrong!
Hollywoodlifers, what do you think of Ireland's shoot? Do yo love it, or is she still too young to be posing in such racy shots?

About Gene Anthony
Thousands of people flocked to the corner of Haight and Ashbury during the Summer of Love, but few saw the unfolding phenomenon as clearly as Gene Anthony did. From his apartment one block up the hill, he witnessed the extraordinary pilgrimage of young people from across the country as they trooped to San Francisco in search of answers, approval and love, and he captured the compelling vignettes through his telling lens. Anthony's photographic talent, subjects and well-deserved acclaim extend far beyond the psychedelic period, but his ability to capture a mood on a face or the essence of an era from a simple street sign was recognized and refined during that time. His photographs have, in turn, become the myriad faces of the Summer of Love.

Oh my goodness, I can't believe it's Tuesday already! I was just about to write Monday and realised that had already passed............. it's really true that time goes faster as you get older!
Today I have a card to show you that I made for the Colour Q Challenge
Lucky Limeade is a new In Colour from Stampin' Up! that they USA had in their new catalogue. It's yet to arrive in the UK, so I substituted with Old Olive which is similar but slightly darker.
I used Basic Gray for the card base. The second layer is Textured Whisper White which I have embossed using the Big Shot and Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder. Before putting the card into the embossing folder I used a Brayer to add Bashful Blue ink to show on the debossed side.
This has been mounted with edges in Tempting Turquoise punched with the Eyelet Border Punch.
The sentiment is from So Happy For You (Retired SAB) inked in Tempting Turquoise and stamped into the Four Frames image already stamped in Old Olive ink. This was cut out with the Decorative Label Punch and edged in Tempting Turquoise card. I popped it onto the center of the card with Dimensionals, and added two Old Olive Designer Buttons to the embossed background.
I kind of feel like there's something missing - it's not quite right! Maybe I'll have another go tomorrow :o)

10th Tuesday :
Today, it was a really special day because it was not raining !! Wow, it was so magical !
Well, I started the day very early, at 6.30 a.m. and I drank a good coffee . We were in the French class until 9.00 a.m. where we did some games with the Americans students .
After that, we went to the Starbucks's industry to visit it and to drink coffee of course !
For me, it was a Mocha. Then, we went to the very big store named COSTCO with many foods and other things . That was the place where we ate in a great restaurant next to it. With our stomachs full, we were ready to see the flight museum . There, we saw many things about flying and there were simulators, we went to a store to buy some presents for the family after that visit. It was a really good experience and we had a lot of fun . We returned to Seattle Prep then to our host familles. Well , personally, I finished the day by writing this text and by going shopping for my little sisters. That's it for me ;)
I hope that you will like the text :)

In countless way, the law itself is the medium to shape politics, economics, and society as well as a mechanism to serves as a social mediator of relations between people. In narrowing the scope down the mentioned fields of area, one must take a narrow scope to a theoretical perspectives on law itself.
The term 'law' is used in many different senses. Thus there are the laws of science, the laws of morality, the laws of economics, the laws of nature and the law of nations, among other. In all these senses, 'law' simply means any set of uniform principles. When used in the context of relationships to society in which it works, law denotes a set of defined principles that govern and regulate human behaviour. In that context, law is used in a special sense and has a far narrower meaning.
All agree that law is a set of rules that govern the patterns of behavior in a given society. Beyond this, however, there is a general disagreement regarding the nature, content, and its function in society. The disagreement would seem to stem from a number of factors. Firstly, the law plays only one part in the society's normative system that regulates and influences human behavior. Moral and social rules, though less explicit and less formal in their nature and content, also play a significant role in society's efforts to control behavior. It is equally difficult to assign reasons for how law works in society and why people obey it.
Secondly, at a different times in a different cultures, law has taken very diverse forms and has been deprived from very distinct sources. Law in primitive and simple societies, for example, may be taken to refer to entirely different things when compared to law in a modern society with developed system of administration of law and justice.
Thirdly, a most scholars may view the nature of law and its function quite differently from others, dictated perhaps by his own predilections. Some define the law with reference to the ends it seeks to achieve enforcement of justice, for example, others define it in a terms of its sources from which it supposedly derives its force and authority as such as the will of the people as for example, while still others define it by reference to the authority empowered to enforce it. Factors such as these have led writers to differ in their approach to the understanding of the true nature of law, its working and its relationship to other norms.
The natural law view in the context of law itself differs than positivist view as well as differs than the view and perspective of Realist and Sociological view in aspect of context of law.
A great number of philosophers believe that there are certain higher principles that are superior to the laws made by man, the principles of natural law. Views have been expressed since ancient times about the source and authority of such principles and their relation to human laws. Although these views differ in significant ways, all have a central theme, there exist moral principles prescribed by nature which can be discovered by men by using intuition or reason with which they are by nature endowed.
The 'legal positivism' is the view that the study of the nature of law should be a study of law is it actualyy exist in a legal system, and not of law as it ought to be on moral ground. John Austin, the best opponen of this view, defines law as the command of the sovereign authority in a society. A command is the expression of a wish directed by the sovereign authority requiring a person or persons to do refrain from doing a certain thing. The command is backed by a threat of evil to be imposed if the directive is not complied with. The threatened evil for non-compliance is the sanction behind the directive. A command, a duty to obey and a sanction are the three essential elements of the law. The law which has these characteristics is 'positive' law.
The realist view on the law is a school f thoughts that originated in the United States. The best known scholars of this school are John Chipman Gray, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jerome Frank, and Karl Llewellyn. Realism means relating to the real world, the world as it actually operates. Legal realism means the study of law as it is actually carried out and enforced rather than law as a series of rules contained in statutes. Realist approach is thus an important part of the sociological approach to law.
Gray defines law as a rule of conduct laid down by the persons acting as judicial organ of the state. Law is 'what the judges declare'. He emphasizes that the personality and personal views of a judge play an important role in the decision making process. Judges, while interpreting a legal rule for applying it to a fact-situation, exercise their own discretion and judgment and thus not only declare but also make law. Their decisions are law. He insist that comprises of rules aid down by the courts and that statutes ad other legal materials are merely 'sources' of this law.
The realist approach has been accused of causing a great deal of confusion and exaggerating the role of judges in shaping and making law. It has been argued that law is not what the courts administer but courts are the institutions which administer the law. If the judges is inclined to follow the law, it can be very well predicted in most of the cases what the judge will do. Moreover, law comes first and the courts come later. Defining the law in terms of what the courts do is like saying that the medicine is what the doctor prescribes.
At the same time, the sociological school of thoughts includes a number of approaches which are more diverse than uniform. A common heading is given to them all for the reason that all sociological jurist study the effects of law and society on each other. The common theme that runs through their approaches is that law is an empirical phenomenon and its nature can be understood only when it is viewed in terms of its relationship to society.

Taken from an episode of Reflections on the Rosary from over a year ago. I was surprised to discover this clip was never posted to the site. The Rosary isn't just "a prayer", it's a spiritual devotion, and so it takes discipline to pray it effectively. The Rosary is the most powerful "weapon" in a Catholic's arsenal these tips will help you to wield it better.
If you never saw the Reflections on the Rosary series, I suggest you check it out. It used to be a subscriber-only show, back in the day. These days it's available to everybody.

The Curry Tiger
250g plain flour
200g unsalted butter, chilled and diced
½-¾ cups iced water
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
Dice the butter and chill in the freezer for a few minutes.
Combine flour, salt, sugar and butter in a large bowl.
Cut the butter into the flour until you have pea-sized pieces of butter (these will melt in the oven and make the pastry light and flaky). You can use a food processor or a pastry cutter for this step. I have neither so I used a mezzaluna and it worked a treat.
Add the water little by little and mix in with a plastic pastry scraper. Stop when the dough just comes together.
Turn out onto a floured surface and split the mixture into two (one for the base, one for the lid). Mould each dough with your hands and knead two or three times so it all sticks together. Wrap with cling wrap and chill in the fridge for at least half an hour.
You can keep the dough for up to two days in the fridge, which is great because you can make the dough and the filling the night before.
500g osso bucco, washed, dried and salted generously
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 onion
5 cloves garlic, peeled
5cm parsley or coriander stalks, roughly chopped
Chilis, halved (add as many as you'd like)
1 litre water
400ml coconut milk
Curry powder (add to taste)
2 tablespoons plain flour
Heat oil in a deep pot over a medium-high heat.
Sear the meat and remove from pot.
Reduce heat to medium and saute the vegetables.
Add water, coconut milk and curry powder (the instructions on mine recommended 4 tablespoons to a litre of water). Bring to a boil.
Place meat into liquid and simmer gently for at least three hours.
Remove meat and shred with two forks.
Add flour to the liquid and stir in. Strain so you get a smooth sauce.
Place the meat and 500ml of the sauce in a container and chill in the fridge. If you're making the pie on the same day, wait until the filling is completely cool. Otherwise, you can fridge it for about three days.
Note: You'll have a lot of curry sauce leftover. It's infused with delicious marrow and beef fat which you can enjoy with rice or bread.
Preheat the oven to 220°C.
Technically you don't need to line the pan because there's so much butter in the pastry, but I like to be safe. I lined a 20cm springform pan with butter then baking paper.
Roll out the first piece of dough on a floured surface until it's about half a centimetre thick. Gently line the pan with the pastry.
Fill the base with the curry filling.
Roll out the second piece of dough and cut out a circle about 3cm bigger than the pan.
Place the lid on the pie and trim the edges.
Fold down the edges and cut a few holes in the lid to let the steam escape.
Bake until golden brown (my incredibly slow oven took about 40 minutes).
Rest for at least 20 minutes before taking it out of the pan to avoid the pie collapsing.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30 (UPI) -- The American Civil Liberties Union Sunday said Al Gonzales must agree to a special counsel on detainee abuse before he is confirmed as attorney general.
The ACLU said Gonzales, the White House counsel, failed to adequately answer inquiries during his confirmation hearing about the Bush administration's policies on the torture and abuse of prisoners and detainees.
In a letter to senators, the ACLU said a three-prong test outlined in the Justice Department's own regulations on the appointment of an outside special counsel has been met.
The requirement that "criminal investigation of a person or matter [must be] warranted" is met by the clear record of high-level government officials changing U.S. policy on the treatment of prisoners, the group said.
The second requirement is that an "investigation or prosecution of that person or matter by a United States attorney's office or litigating division of the Department of Justice would present a conflict of interest ... "
The third requirement is that "it would be in the public interest ... "

More and more people carry smartphones in their pockets, and that means one thing for sure: Apps. People love apps. They're quick, convenient to use, and there's one (or two, or more) for just about anything.
Hopefully by now your business already has a social media presence and online marketing campaign, so why not launch a mobile app, too? To create one you just need to draw out your idea, find a developer and then get it approved by Apple, Android, and Microsoft.
However, before you start the process, you need to ask yourself if a mobile app is right for your business. Here are some things to consider.
Who is Your Target Audience?
Think about your customers and your target audience. Are they using smartphones and apps? Lots of people are, but some more than others. In particular, the younger crowd (18-35 years) uses apps than other age segments.
If your audience is into apps, are they using iPhones, Droids, or Blackberries? Find out (if you don't already know) as much about your audience's smartphone habits. As with anything else, you need to make sure you're putting your efforts into something that will actually reach your customers.
What Can Your App Offer?
Here's the deal: There are so many apps, that people aren't going to download yours unless it's really special. You need to offer real value. The value might be something that makes a user's life easier or helps them in some way.
It could also be entertainment, but useful is usually better. It should also offer repeated value. If it's something that will only be useful one time, your app will quickly be deleted or forgotten.
Your app could offer many things such as knowledge or a database related to your industry or niche; an easier way to access your website or membership features; or a utility tool that can help people in their daily lives.
Think hard about this one. If you can't come up with a high-value app, your business shouldn't create one.
Do You Have the Time and Resources?
Creating a mobile app isn't easy. If you're not a programmer or developer, you'll probably need to hire a third party to create your app, unless you want to spend a very long time learning how to do it yourself (you don't, trust me!).
Find out how much money it will take to hire a developer, and understand that it could take months before your app is ready and available for use.
Does your app really have the potential to drive enough business that it justifies spending the time and money to create it?
How Will You Get People to Download It?
Don't forget that you'll also need to spend time and money marketing your app, because no one will download it if they don't know about it. Be prepared to link to your app on your website, all of your social networking profiles, and in your offline marketing campaigns and materials, too. Getting the word out is an essential part of the process.
If you decide to create an app, don't forget to budget for marketing it, too.

Tips For Running A Strike For Workers
How should one run a successful strike?
I recently represented workers in a multinational company. The foreign bosses criticised New Zealand managers for not squeezing out maximum shareholder value and being too soft as they had never copped a strike over pay! My union client got angry and obliged them with real threats. The company caved in like a fawning dog. Tough talk is cheap, be it by workers or bosses.
Let's get through the legal basics first. To strike is to either to stop work " a bluey"; reduce normal output "go slow"; or fail to do work normally done "work to rule or a black ban" .
"Work to rule" and "go slows" have the advantage that one is still on the job and getting paid. Such tactics can either get the boss to talk or make them loose their cool and suspend or lock out staff.
Strikes are illegal if the collective agreement hasn't yet expired. Also its illegal to strike in an essential industry, like petrol delivery or hospital work, unless 14 days notice of intention to strike is given. Strikes for a genuine health or safety reasons are not illegal.
To strike is to act together.
A few stroppy workers just walking off the job may lead to a boss justifiably dismissing them for simply abandoning work. Technically speaking employment agreements are "put on hold" when workers are lawfully out on strike. In the last analysis its useful to remember strike law is hard to enforce – try jailing a community's nurses for example because they are genuinely underpaid. That's why the army had to be ordered to break the 1951 Watersiders Strike by doing the warfies work and a general election called to support the then governments stand. Another emample is special act of Parliament was needed to break the 1983 strike troubles at the Marsden Point Refinery.
Successful strikes are not usually knee-jerk reactions.
They are likely to be thought through and coordinated to involve workers in key positions and timed well. It was not just happenstance that the Cook Straight ferries used to strike at the start of the Christmas holidays for more pay. A bakery to illustrate, facing unnecessary staff cuts needs the bread bakers, the store people and delivery drivers and those who start production process to all be involved. Just a few production hands walking of the job in a wildcat fit of pique would likely fizz out.
The first thing to do if a strike is in the wind is to plan.
In-house union or staff association leadership needs to be sorted out and someone elected with clout and mana. Elect a committee from as wide a representation of the workforce as is possible. It's then up to them to organise the strike. A critical first decision is to time when to pull the pin. Is there an important export order deadline, a full sales order book or a visit of bigwig coming up? Each committee member should be given a particular job suited to their talents. A media spokesperson, a picket line coordinator, someone in charge of leaflets and a web site, others to handle finances, hardship problems and so forth.
Prior to a strike it's suggested to have an "all up" meeting.
Debate the reasons and alternatives for taking such drastic action openly and fairly and explore alternatives. Get a mandate – half cock supported strikes inevitably fizz. Collect up all the workers home addresses and phone numbers, partners and children's names. A strike headquarters should be established and manned continuously. Failing to keep all fellow strikers in the picture, by phone contact or leaflets is a sure recipe for a strike to fail.
A picket line is generally the heart of the strike.
A picket line needs to be set up straightaway, picket captains selected and rosters sorted for workers to man it. Picket captains should not be hotheads, and rules laid down on picket line behaviour – absolutely no drugs or beer for instance. Vehicles and others crossing the picket line should be stopped and told firmly what the issues are and encouraged to turn back. Feelings will run high. Just a few years ago this "Labour Lore" column reported the tragic death of Christine Clark run over on a picket line in Lyttleton. I'm told that about five hours is the maximum time one should have to spend on the line.
Placards and captions that attract public support are really worthwhile.
Pictures of picket lines often end up on TV or in the newspapers. "Scabs" is the colloquial term of endearment for those who cross picket lines. "Black bans" are when certain supplies to a company are stopped either by picket or agreement with the staff of other employers. Sometimes "flying pickets" are organized outside a companies supplier's premises to draw attention to black bans and get support from fellow workers – also to embarrass the boss.
Each strike has its own momentum and unexpected twists. I was involved with the laboratory workers whose gung-ho hospital managers flew in Australian lab technicians as strike breakers. I look back thinking, what a scandalous waste of hospital limited funds so much better spent on glue ear operations for deaf kids for instance. All the ideologically driven management had to do in this strike was to stop refusing to talk to their pretty sensible professional staff. Do remember it's imperative to keep the public on side and actively counter bad publicity such as "lab workers strike endangers lives".
A strikes ending should also be thought through.
There is little merit rubbing the losing parties nose in it (notwithstanding it can be really satisfying) ; some face-saving may be in order. The conditions for a return to work need to be communicated to all strikers and the phase back into work routines sorted. Lessons will have been learned. More often than not, bosses will have a silent grudging respect there can be a point when their workers say "enough is enough".

Similar to philosopher Aristotle's statement 'man is a social animal', to talk about social relationship is to talk about human beings. Because the most basic definition of society would be a group of people living under a common set of rules. So if you follow all the rules established by the society, you will be considered social. Otherwise, you are anti-social, which means you are involved in any of the anti-social activities such as stealing, burglary, violating or misusing the citizen rights, hurting others' interests, etc. None of these anti-social activities are approved by the society.
Having a healthy social relationship is what makes life simpler and more lively. You come from home and go to school, college or work place. If everyone who meets you on the way greets you with a genuine smile, it makes a big difference in your behavior and mood. On the contrary, if everyone ignores you or looks at you with hatred, this will reflect in your nature as well.
You can have a very healthy social relationship by following all the etiquettes established by the society, e.g. how to behave when you meet a person for the first time, when a guest comes home, when someone appreciates or criticizes, when someone advises, when you get rewards, or how to treat parents, friends, elders, etc.
However, only following the established etiquettes would not be enough. As many people together make the society, you also have to ensure that everyone or whomever you come across follows the social norms. Inspiring others positively should be considered as a very essential part of the social behavior.

Notes: This refreshing Thai salad is a delicious relish for pork satay.
How to Make It
Step 1
Cut off and discard thick pummelo skins. With your fingers, divide pummeloes into segments. Pull off and discard membranes; pull fruit into 1/2-inch chunks. Place in a bowl.
Step 2
Gently stir in cucumbers, cilantro, chili, and 2 tablespoons fish sauce. Taste and add more fish sauce if desired; if making up to 1 day ahead, cover and chill (salad will become juicier). Sprinkle with peanuts just before serving.

With many a comparison to the GTA series it is no surprise that the developers have chosen to take the game in this direction to individualize it and perhaps gain an identity outside of all those comparisons. Saint's Row 2 will have the player work his way through a vastly improved Stillwater, an 150 percent larger version of the city with new areas including a prison island, a power plant, suburbs, and some underground sections, dispensing of rival gang members and otherwise unruly denizens to reclaim the turf and respect his once lofty gang has lost".

Pamper Yourself With The #NIOXINChallenge
This post was sponsored on behalf of NIOXIN. All opinions stated are my own.
I'm not a beauty queen but I do love beauty products. Maybe I love beauty products so much because of the fact that I'm not a beauty queen. I love reviewing beauty products and I spend HOURS on the web daily reading about products I think will work for me and my skin and hair care needs. I've been known to read beauty reviews all day long (and/or night) to find the best products for yours truly. Maybe it's a sin to want to look my best but I do. I don't mind growing old but I don't want to look old. Can you relate? I've found by trial and error that products that work for the majority of others with my skin type or hair type usually also work for me. In my younger days, thinning hair was not a concern of mine. I knew there was a chance I'd have to deal with it during my elder years but those years snuck up on me all too soon. I didn't even realize I wasn't 20 anymore until I started noticing more hair in my brush than usual. *sobs* My hair needs serious help to keep me looking and feeling my best and we've already established how important that is to me.
Speaking of hair. Hair today, gone tomorrow.
* Before old age and other factors set in.
Let's talk hair care today. As a SAHM, I'm faced with the demanding challenges all SAHM's are. On the top of that list is the lack of time to pamper me. I don't have the time to dash to the salon every time I want a scalp massage that will help stimulate my scalp for hair regrowth. I was so shocked to learn (glamour.com) that "74% of men notice women because of their hair." That made me want to buy a dozen scarves and hide my head behind them forever. I'm too much of a people person to do that, so I knew, it was time to change the way I treat my hair. I recently had the opportunity to use NIOXIN's online consultation tool to find the right products for my hair. I'll even go so far as to say, the perfect products for my hair.
Want to know what my system results were? Go ahead and say yes because I'm going to tell you regardless, lol.
SYSTEM 2 which is a 3 part system that includes:
- Cleanser
- Scalp Therapy Conditioner
- Scalp Treatment
It's kind of exciting to know that there is help for me and my hair texture and issues. This is the first Hair Care System I've tried that provides everything I need to help thicken my hair, beginning with my scalp. I've been using my kit for a month and I'm finding less hair in my brush and more on my head.
A, B, C, easy as 1, 2, 3.
The treatment has sunscreen in it and to be honest, I've never thought about applying any to my head which usually results in sunburn to my head when outdoors. When I was younger, I would only get a sunburn where I part my hair but now that my age and lack of hair has caught up with me, it's easier for the sun to burn my scalp everywhere. It also provides volume which I want to continue to work on providing for my limp hair. If you think you don't have the time to use one of NIXOIN's hair systems, think again. It's no more timely than washing and conditioning your hair with your regular products. What is different, is the noticeable softness, thickness and I'm even getting my bounce back. I'm sporting a new look and I'm starting to feel like a new me.
Isn't it time to deal with the changes for your own hair? There are 5 different system kits and 1 o them is perfect for you. Take the NIOXIN 30 Day Challenge with me and other bloggers and share your amazing results with #NIOXINChallenge on NIOXIN's Facebook and Twitter.
Available at salons nationwide for an average retail price of $45.00. For more information call 1-800-628-9890 or visit www.nioxin.com.
* After age, stress, medications and other factors.

The amount of hair product brands my mom goes through. Would be great to show her this one.
I've only vaguely heard of NIOXIN but I don't have a problem with thinning hair right now. I have too much hair! Hopefully this works for those who are suffering with thinning hair though!
I would love to give my hair a new treatment like these!
With thousands of beauty products available & with new brands coming every day, honestly Nioxin sis pretty new for me. But sounds like a wonderful option try out for people with thin hair. With age & stress on the cards, I would love to give it a try!
Interesting. I'll have to check out the ingredients and see if it's something I want to use.
Nioxin sounds wonderful! I never thought about sunscreen for the hair, but it makes so much sense to protect it from the damaging effects of the sun, just like our skin! I'm 50yo…Gotta try this! :)
Hmmm.. A friend needs this.
This is the first time that I am hearing about Nioxin and I'd love to try it. I'm all for hair & scalp care. You got me a thicker hair & scalp treatment – totally need to give my lock and scalp a lot of TLC.
I will recommend this to my friends who are having problems with their thin hair. Sounds like a nice option.
I never heard of Nioxin before but sounds like a nice brand. I want to take this challenge!
This looks like a nice deal. I bet it would only take less than a month for me to decide if I want to continue using it or not.
I've used similar products in the past but I didnt notice mayor changes in my hair or scalp health, maybe I should try this one
Scalp therapy. I've been hearing a lot about that lately. I am going to have to try one of these.
I've used Nixon, but not this product. My hair is very thin. Age and stress, eh?
Age and stress? Oh geez, I'd better starting the good fight with this product!
I am always looking for new hair products to try and I could totally see myself giving this a try sounds fab! x
I'd want to use it but I'd be too lazy. The salon can earn a lot from me coz I'm too lazy to do my own hair and love getting pampered. I'd check if they have this at the salon I go to and try it out.
My friend has thin hair. I will tell her about this.
I actually have the opposite problem. I have so much thick hair, that I need to have it thinned every 12 weeks. This sounds like an awesome problem for ladies with thinning hair :)

I feel her voice and understand her pain. It is another example of how sometimes in an attempt to honour we miss because we focus on the awards and the show rather than the amazing stories of educators and students. What we say and do matter! Surely there is a way we can celebrate educators and learning without giving out awards.
From what I've read the connections made were the highlight of evening. Now these stories and their impact on each person involved would be ones I would love to read about and learn from.
Thank you Pernille for sharing your story. Your experiences and voice inspire me.
Dear Bammy Awards,
For the last 16 hours or so I have been trying to find the words to describe what last night's event did for me as a teacher, not as an honoree. And while this letter may come off as too blunt, there are things we need to talk about.
When I first heard about you last year, I was curious and mildly excited that someone was finally trying to put a positive spotlight on educators. When I was invited to attend as one of the 100 Connected Educators, I was honored, even though I knew my two babies at home would prevent me from coming. I thought what you had was a great idea, even if there were bumps in the road to figure out.
This year when I heard that I was a nominee, up for elementary teacher of the year, I was humbled, confused, and…

Mohammad Nouri (Persian: محمد نوری) (December 22, 1929 – July 31, 2010) was one of the foremost folk and pop singers in Iran. Before the 1979 Iranian Revolution, Nouri was relatively unknown among Iranian pop music lovers mainly because his was string orchestral pop tunes hardly fit for disco and party entertainment, not to mention little exposure and publicity efforts on his part . Not surprisingly, other than a few folk tunes, such as "Jaan-e Maryam" and "Gol-e Maryam," he was mostly played on the state run radio shows, such as the Army Hour or during odd hours or ibetween. Later when the Islamic regime overhauled the entire state run mass media and most pop artists flew out of the country and later continued their career overseas for their fellow exiled Iranian concert audiences, Nouri's career flourished . He had stayed behind since he was considered one of the "people's artists" and his work, especially the lyrics were indigenous directly from native northern folk tradition. To the post revolutionary youth Nouri's and a host of other traditional musicians' work embodied true art unaffected by the western commercialism and its loose trappings. After years of having been side-staged by disco and popular entertainers, Nouri began to enjoy renewed fame and reputation as his fan base grew wider and wider. By this time he had turned full circle to folk orchestral music and almost abandoned the old string orchestral style.
Nouri studied English Language and Literature at the University of Tehran, but continued his professional career in music.[1] He studied Persian music under Esmaeil Mehrtash and music theory and piano under Sirous Shahrdar and Fereidoun Farzaneh. In his singing style he was considered as a follower of Hossein Aslani and Naser Hosseini.[1]
Nouri rose to prominence in the 1960s with his distinct style of singing and enjoyed four decades of popularity among Iranians of all generations.
His song Jaan-e Maryam, Gol-e Maryam (جان مریم، گل مریم), as well as his patriotic song Iran, Iran, have been and are well known melodies and themes among three generations of Iranians from both before and after the 1979 Iranian Revolution.[2]

For Sale By Owner vs a Realtor
Many people are making the choice to sell their homes themselves. While it is said that this method of home sales can save an owner money in commission fees, it should be noted that usually the money saved in commission is spent in other areas. Typically an agent's commission for a home sale is approximately 5-7%. However what many people do not realize is that it will cost them at least that to see that their home closes properly.

Most people agree that curb appeal can make or break a home when trying to make your home stand out from the rest. Especially, when trying to sell your home, curb appeal can enhance the exterior of your home so much that someone who might not have stopped and gone inside will because of how much they like the outside of the home.

Scenes from Life
I guess the bright side is that all this time at home has been somewhat productive. I mentioned the shop update yesterday, and I've also discovered loads of photos on my computer from the past few months that I never found time to edit or post before. Here are a few random photos, all taken at twilight on different days.
Twilight in the summer is my absolute favorite time...even when the heat of the day won't break and the air is heavy. I feel like it's one of the few times in DC when people slow down, aren't always in a rush. People will take their time when they're walking their dogs down the sidewalk or stay a bit longer when sitting outside at a restaurant. If you could assign a personality type to a city, DC is definitely Type A most of the time, and I am most definitely not. And for a few brief moments on summer nights, I feel like everyone mellows out and matches my speed. :)
9 comments:
Lots of Type A around here, too. I was kind of jarred by the lack of it when we were in California this week, especially San Francisco. I think I only heard a handful of car horns the entire time we were there.ReplyDelete
The garden in the first picture is gorgeous!
And! I hope you're feeling a lot better. :-/ReplyDelete
The combination of a sinus infection and dental work sounds AWFUL. I hope you're feeling better now! I'm also a huge fan of twilight in the summer - it's my favorite time. Beautiful pictures.ReplyDelete
are these from outside your house?ReplyDeleteReplies
No, I wish that was my garden! Actually, the last photo with the shadows is inside my living room, but the street shots were taken in an area about 15 minutes away.Delete
Sinus infections suck! I hope you're feeling better soon!ReplyDelete
Love your shadow picture :)
Beautiful photos, sorry to hear that the last few weeks have been a bit rough! Hope things improve, this was a lovely post xxReplyDelete
Sorry you weren't feeling too good, hope all is better now! :)ReplyDelete
I hope you're feeling better!! It's no fun to be feeling lousy especially if it's painful, and no fun to be sick in the summer!ReplyDelete
I love your description of DC and I agree with the summer twilights being a little slower and calmer. It's a nice feeling. We're going to be sliding into autumn pretty quickly so we need to enjoy the summer while we still have it!

What happened
In light of flagging attendance, SeaWorld Entertainment (NYSE:SEAS) cut 350 positions in mid-October. The jobs were mostly in the corporate office, but the parks in Orlando and San Diego were also impacted.
"It is an unfortunate, but necessary, consequence of the restructuring that some positions will be lost," spokeswoman Aimée Jeansonne Becka said in a statement that was reported by CNN Money.
Not every position that was cut involved a layoff. Some were open jobs that simply won't be filled.
So what
SeaWorld's namesake parks are theme parks without a clear direction after they came under fire for how they treated their killer whales and other sea life. Consumers, especially in Orlando where Universal Studios and Disney World are located, aren't lacking in choices. With the sea-life-based parks lacking direction, there's less reason for tourists to visit them. The company has tried to shift the focus of its parks by adding more rides, but consumers have not reacted well. That has led to steady attendance drops, and investors are wary.
After closing September at $12.99 shares dropped to $11.48, an 11.6% fall, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence.
Now what
SeaWorld has offered heavy discounts, free meals, and other perks to get people into their parks. None of it has worked. The company has also invested heavily in new experiences, but that's extra challenging in Florida where it faces such top-tier competition.
Things are bleak for the brand and there's little reason to expect a turnaround. This is a company that might be better off selling itself for pieces or trying a massive rebrand of its signature properties.

text: In 1960 Martin Gardner introduced Scientific American readers to Dr. Matrix, the too-clever-by-half numerologist and con man, with his voluptuous Eurasian daughter-cum-secretary Iva. Gathered here in chronological order are some of the fabulous exploits of the doctor: his political prognostications (the importance of double letters or a terminal ""on"" in your name if you're going to be president), predictions based on the digits in a given year, and the startling numerical coincidences relating the Lincoln and Kennedy assassinations, to name a few. Gardner brings to this kind of number play the right mix of coincidence, curiosity, and spoof to elicit the reader's smile. Meanwhile the ingenuity of the doctor's numerical concoctions serves to introduce challenging problems in number theory. There are also alphabetic codes, hidden acrostics, anagrams, and some geometric and calendar puzzles. Gardner includes the column in which the scoundrelly doctor decides to use ""pyramid power""--the belief that models of Cheops' pyramid (from shelfto live-in size) do all those things snake oil used to be famous for. To his amazement many readers took the column seriously, wrote for information about the pyramid factory, and so on. . . proving once again that there's one born every minute. This is a witty collection for puzzlers and punsters who are good with pencil and paper, but even the lazys will enjoy the gee whiz aspects of number power.

Colon cleansing has gained favor over the last 10 years, making its way as a trendy way to detox your body. Most colon cleanses use putting lots of water in the rectum to cause it to flush out any toxins contained in it.
Caution needs to be exercised when considering doing a colon cleanse, though. No evidence supports the idea that a cleanse helps, and it can have some dangerous side effects. Because the purpose of your bowel system is to remove toxins from your body, it doesn't need any help from a colon cleanse. What is recommended, to keep your colon healthy, is to change your diet. Here are 5+ ways you can keep your colon healthy and happy.
1. High fiber. To help keep things flowing smoothly, Harvard Medical School says you need to make sure you're getting enough fiber in your diet. Eating whole grains, bran, fresh fruit and a number of beans will help keep your colon healthy.
2. Water. WebMD reminds people to drink plenty of water throughout the day. Getting dehydrated keeps the colon from working well.
3. Alcohol. Another recommendation by WebMD is to limit your alcohol intake as it slows down your body. Drink in moderation.
4. Exercise. To keep your bowels functioning well, Medical News Today reminds you to get regular exercise. Sometimes that is the best remedy.
5. Smoking. Smoking has adverse affects on lots of bodily functions, and the colon is no exception. Medical News Today tells you to stop smoking as soon as possible.
6. Processed foods. According to the Mayo Clinic, another great way to keep your colon working well is to limit the amount of processed food you eat, consuming more "natural" foods in its place: fruits, vegetables, unprocessed meat, etc.
Having a healthy colon doesn't have to be uncomfortable or dangerous. Having a healthy lifestyle is really the key.
