Lately, the Allow It To Die livestream revealed three major updates to become implemented within the coming several weeks. The Brand New Tower of Barbs areas, *6 rank fighters, along with a new Tokyo, japan Dying Metro version are confirmed during these updates. Players will possess some large happy to expect to in four several weeks time.
Allow It To Die Livestream info
As seen on GungHoAmerica's stream, the Allow It To Die developers spoken concerning the next group of updates as well as their release home windows this 2017. The sport presently has 42 floors to understand more about and also the approaching update sometime between May and August 2017 increases it. Six star fighters may also be implemented in this time period. Meanwhile, the Tokyo, japan Dying Metro version 5 update is going to be released next August.
The developers also stated that none of those updates is going to be released this April. Players will have to watch for GungHo to complete developing these updates to begin playing them soon.
More Floors
More floors are guaranteed to be included to the Tower of Barbs which floors will feature more Roguelike game play. The lifts and elevators could be more difficult to get during these floors. The "beginning from the Allow It To Die" is guaranteed during these new floors. New decals were also confirmed within the new floors discussion.
At the best, players will come across new opponents and new map designs during these approaching areas. Because the new floors feature new opponents, players will receive a opportunity to snag new blueprints for crafting new equipment and weapons. Allow It To Die's Tower of Barbs is its PvE content where players have to protect against opponents and secure access of higher products because they progress.
Six Star Figures
Presently, players only get access to 5 star rank figures. Getting greater rated figures mean a greater level cap along with a more powerful stat potential. Strong figures make Tower of Barbs runs much simpler and hard for other players to sack your Waiting Room should you allow them to defend. Overall, this latest update will increase the game's finish-game ceiling and perhaps generate new game play standards for that players. Lastly, GungHo may introduce new personalities and weapons introducing more variety in to the game.
Tokyo, japan Dying Metro Version 5
The Tokyo, japan Dying Metro Version 5 will probably be released next August. New methods to safeguard the waiting room happen to be confirmed however the developers also didn't get into detail about this. Overall, the brand new Tokyo, japan Dying Metro version 5 update can make the PvP mode more proper. Presently, players have the ability to similar Waiting Rooms, with simply the defenders guarding it to be the difference.
Updates This April
New info on the 4 Forcemen opponents may also be released in the finish of April. Among the Forcemen, White-colored Steel, is confirmed so that you can neutralize a character's Shroom buffs to avoid them by using it right. Furthermore, new decals are confirmed to be sold this April 15-17. All that's left is simply to wait for a updates flowing in Allow It To Die.

The Lyceum DP students had chosen Urtsadzor for the implementation of their project. Group 4 is a trans-disciplinary project. All the students and "Experimental Science" group teachers are expected to participate in it. In frames of this collaborative project the learners study and analyze the same problem in the sphere of each subject. Urtsadzor was not chosen by chance, it's a well-kept area known for its biodiversity and significant environmental issues.
The counselor-pedagogue, Biology, Physics, Chemistry and Computer Science teachers guided the students during the project.
DP students have come back with unforgettable impressions. They're getting ready for the presentation of the project results.

So a while back I read an article on MSN about squirrels and how to keep them out of your attic. It was mostly about how to humanely remove them but being the internet the comments section got a little…unruly let's say. I don't know why but this triggered a sadistic idea for a story. So I went ahead and wrote the story out the way I wanted it and posted it as a comment. I received some very entertaining comments from people who were duped and actually believed I was telling a true story. Anyway, here is the story I posted…
Attack of the squirrels!
I had a neighbor who hates squirrels. I saw him actually kick one off his deck one day and proceed to scream obscenities at it for the next 5 minutes. I thought it was pretty rude of him so I came up with an idea on how to get even. Every day after he left for work I'd spread some bird seed in his lawn and hide little caches of nuts under his deck and in the bushes in his house. Every day after work he'd come home and there would be more and more of the little guys running around his yard eating all the seeds I put there for them. He would get angrier each day. I think I could actually see his blood pressure rise as he was pulling into his driveway each night. It was hilarious to watch!
He tried chasing them a few times with a rake or shovel or whatever was handy but they were mostly too fast. He was totally losing it and it was great. I'd stop over on occasion and talk to him to see how he was doing with his squirrel problem. He couldn't understand why they were in his yard all the time. It was so hard to not bust out laughing at him.
After that I stepped up my squirrel attack on him. I started throwing peanuts in his gutters and on his roof. It didn't take them long to find those let me tell you! Nothing like seeing a dozen squirrels running across his rooftop every morning and night. He totally flipped. He was actually getting kinda scary. Totally twitchy and his face was always flush when I seen him. I started to feel a little bad for the guy and I was going to stop. But then I seen him kill another one of the furry little guys. So I kept feeding them instead.
Then one night I saw him in the store. He was buying a pellet gun. I remember thinking how wrong this guy was. I mean they're just small animals! What right does he have to harm them like that! What kind of twisted jerk was this guy? I didn't feel bad anymore. So I left the store and waited for him.
I was watching out the window when he got home and he didn't waste any time. He started putting the pellet gun together. So I called 911 and told them my neighbor was going crazy and putting a gun together in his yard. I acted really hysterical and told them I didn't know what he was going to do. I was still on the phone when he started screaming at the squirrels. I remember he said something like, "I'm gonna kill you, you little F'ers! You're gonna F'ing die now!" 911 heard it too. I told them I was taking cover and hung up. I swear I never thought the police could get to our area that fast. It was astonishing! Thank God they did. I don't think he actually had time to get any of the squirrels yet.
So three cop cars screech into his driveway and police officers jump out with guns drawn screaming at him to, "Drop the weapon! Put it on the ground now!" You should have seen the look on his face! My Lord it was priceless! He should have just dropped it but I think he was in shock or something. He had his hands up but he was still holding the pellet gun and trying to stammer something out to them. They kept yelling at him to drop the gun until one of them got tired of it I guess. I don't know which one it was but one of the cops got him real good with a stun gun to the chest. ZAP! You should have heard the squeal he made! Oh My God! I nearly wet myself I was laughing so hard! I couldn't breath! There wasn't even much noise coming out of my mouth. That's how hard I was laughing! And every time I'd make a noise from laughing it would remind me of the noise my neighbor made when he got zapped and would only make me laugh harder! I was rolling around on the floor by the window with tears just pouring outta my eyes. I don't think I have ever laughed so hard in my life. My stomach hurt for days after that. The only disappointing thing was that I didn't get to see him cuffed and taken away.
His wife must have bailed him out because he was back home late that night. I kind of avoided him the next few days. I wasn't sure if he knew I was the one who called the police or not. When I finally did talk to him again he didn't say anything about it so I'm pretty sure he doesn't know it was me. He seemed very despondent too. Sort of like the fight had gone out of him I guess. I didn't see him out in his yard very much either. Which made the whole 'bring in the invading squirrels' thing a little boring so I stopped feeding them.
Then in the middle of the night about a week later I was woken up by blaring sirens from fire trucks. So I stumble out of bed to see what the heck was going on. The neighbors house was blazing like a torch. That's when the firemen started banging on my door. They made me leave my house and get a ways back while they put out the fire. It was really inconvenient! I actually had to sit outside for hours while they did their thing. My neighbor was in shock I think. He just sat there curled up in a ball the whole time silently weeping with his wife holding him from behind. I talked to her a little to see what happened but she had no idea at the time. She's a really nice woman.
I didn't see them for a few weeks after that but when I did I asked if they ever found out what caused the fire. It ended up that one of the squirrels chewed through a wire in the attic and started an electrical fire. They lost nearly everything. I have a hard time feeling bad for them though. It's really all his fault anyway. If he hadn't of been such a jerk to the squirrel on his deck none of this would have happened so it served him right. Anyway, if I start to feel myself having doubts about what I did all I have to do is think about him getting tazed. That always puts a smile on my face!
The End
Now here are some of the comments I received…
Comment 1: you ought to mind your own business. What your neighbor does about his squirrel problem is none of your business, unless he starts shooting or poisoning them on your property. What you did to him was wrong.
Squirrels can be a big problem. I like to feed the birds and have had to spend a lot of time and money squirrel-proofing. The reds also like to try moving into my attic and an additional bucket load of time and money went into keeping them out. They will kill and eat birds' nestlings, in addition to raiding their eggs.
If you had mounted your "squirrel encouragement" campaign on me and I found out about it, it would become my primary mission to see you pay. I would trap all your "friends" I could get, then wait until you were gone from your house. Preferably on vacation. Then I'd kick out a pane from one of your basement windows, dump in a couple hundred pounds of sunflower seed, and release all the squirrels through the hole in the window. Then I'd block the hole shut. Since you love squirrels so much and insist that everyone must live with them, YOU FIRST. Practice as you preach! And finally, I hope your neighbor finds out what you did and gets you back. Even a good old-fashioned, well-deserved beating would be proper in this case!
Comment 2: What an astonishingly foolish person you are. And what you did to that man was so much more wrong, mean, and hurtful than he did to the initial squirrel on his deck. I wish I knew who you were so I could report you to the police.
Comment 3: Where do you live, buddy? I'd be happy to bring the squirrels that are causing damage in my attic to your place.

So 3 years have passed since my last marathon on the road. As many of you know I've completed many trail distances equal and above marathon distances up to 80km. However this was a road marathon and as explained in The Night before The Night before I have a serious mental block with t@r.
My week leading into the marathon was full of positive visualisation and good planning for the run, it had to be I was really sweating about how it would go.
I woke up at 3:20am and stumbled around in the dark whilst running a bath and making a quick breakfast. I made my way through to @ Capetown with @beanker and we got to the start on Green Point main road with time to spare. It was kind of surreal as I was not feeling any nerves whatsoever before the race (a big first for me). My race plan was to run how I was feeling and try and aim for a 3h45 finish. Considering my one and only other road marathon time was a 4h33 3 years ago it may have been optimistic but with all my training towards Ironman South Africa I felt confident that I could crack a new PB.
Although the race was starting at 5:15am it was really warm and quite humid also. I hadn't even started and I wanted to take my shirt off it was so stuffy. The Marathon got underway and I waved goodbye to @beanker and set off on my marathon journey. The first couple of km's passed by without incident although I was sweating profusely and I put it down to the early morning heat and nervous energy. I caught up with @newbert before we turned back up Adderley Street and then Miranda Symons came trotting effortlessly past me, as she always does, and we chatted briefly before she headed off into the distance. I was running a 5 min a km pace and felt pretty good so decided to keep at it and see how I went. The streets were empty apart from the odd reveller making their way home and those preparing their retail shops for the day ahead. It was my first time running main road from Cape Town and it was kind of spooky with no cars to worry about. We continued on and as we made our way past Durban Road the South East wind welcomed us. It wasn't strong thankfully and it was a welcome breeze to the heat. The water tables were thankfully well stocked and quite vibey for so early in the morning and a big high five to the organisers Top Events and the volunteers with their morning cheer that kept the runners spirits high.
I didn't take too much water on until the 12km mark and was maintaining my pace quite nicely. There weren't many supporters on route unlike at Two Oceans for example but there was plenty of chattering amongst us runners to keep me entertained. We continued to snake our way along main road quietly until we hit the half marathon mark at Ladies Mile recording a 1h45 split. The road became very congested as it was also the point at which we joined the half marathon route and I unfortunately lost the small group that I was running with. I hung on the back of the packed sub 1h45 half-marathon bus but eventually dropped back as they were pushing a faster pace. Not too long after that I heard a shout and spotted my Mom standing with other supporters outside Barons Tokai. It was so awesome to see her and I felt a sudden urge to stop and chat but not wanting to get all caught up with emotion I put my hand out and passed on my love to her as I passed and carried on running.
Just after the 25km mark I was quite relieved to see @beanker standing with @missymac77 as I was starting to feel a little energy depleted. She passed me a small bottle with some Hammer Perpetuem inside and I was grateful for it. The route carried on along the now very flat main road thru Lakeside as we headed into the cooler coastal suburbs starting with Muizenberg. It was a nice surprise to get a cheer from @angiecapetown who was marashalling at the Boyes Drive turnoff. I was on home turf now and watched the early morning surfers cooling off in the surf. @beanker next met me at the 31km mark in Kalk Bay at the end of Boyes Drive and I was happy because I was starting to take strain. I had been running at 5 min a km for 30 km and although I was happy to have that small victory behind me I was feeling slightly spent and became concerned that I had not started taking on some fuel earlier.
I was expecting to hurt at some point as one inevitably does during a marathon but I was secretly hoping that it would not be until the 36km mark, I was wrong! The pain started early at 32km and I wasn't expecting it, my quads were starting to hurt all the way to the bone and the pain in my chest and shoulders was becoming very uncomfortable. I kept telling myself I was fine and my mind was playing games with me but my pace started slowing rapidly. I was suffering badly when I heard a cheerful "hey who's this fit guy" from behind as @kimtaylorktp ran past with a broad smile and her sister Donna in tow doing the half marathon. I managed a grimace instead of a smile and a "hi" (i think) and watched as they cruised off ahead of me, their race plan being perfectly executed. I managed to keep my feet moving until we hit a small hill coming out of Fish Hoek that felt like a mountain and I resorted to a walk. I remember that I hit my chest with my fist out of frustration saying "come on!" the woman next to me got a shock and winced "ouch" and I figured I had probably been a little too hard on myself. The 34km mark just would not end and I kept repeating "you've ran this road hundreds of time, this is your backyard, now move your feet dammit". I saw @beanker next at the 36km mark as we hit the hill going out of Glencairn before the train station. I stopped briefly for some Energade that was sickly sweet then put on my iPod looking for something to wake me from my poor state and get me fired up. I was so transfixed on the music that I barely even heard @redearthgallery (Eric Tollner) call me as I was nearing the Naval Battery by Dido Valley. I had never met Eric in person and I was stoked to finally bump into him so I stopped briefly and said hi but being in such a poor state I didn't stop too long and moved on soon thereafter.
The last 5 kms were a sea of many broken runners including myself, it was carnage at times. As we hit the hill coming into Simonstown I ran past a Satorian (my running club) that was walking and visiby taking strain. I didn't recognise him and as the hill was hurting me I decided to stop and introduce myself to him. Michael told me he was sick and we had a quick chat and I offered some encouragement before carrying on. Coming down into Simonstown square I picked up a bit of speed (it felt like it anyway) as I passed the 41km mark. I took a glance at my watch and realised I was going to achieve what I had set out to do. It was a massive lift to my spirit and my legs began to lighten and the pain felt like it was being drawn from my body and I even began feeling light headed. I only managed a couple of hundred metres more when I was suddenly and for no apparent reason completely overcome with incredible emotion like nothing I have ever experienced before. I just began thinking of my Mom, my brother Kris and my Aunt Myra that had recently passed away and I remembered why running for The Sunflower Fund had become so important to me. I tried to hold back the emotion, grit my teeth and keep running but then quite unexpectedly the tears started and I was forced to stop as I broke down and wept on the side of the road. I was bent over with my head in my hands when I heard another runner come over to me. He stopped and asked if I was ok, then probably realised I was having a moment and patted me on the back and said "its ok buddy take your time your there now." I took a few moments and then straightened up and put my sunglasses back on and then started to run the final uphill to the finish.
I came down the hill towards the finish at the Simonstown Naval Sports Fields thankful to have had my moment outside the ground instead of in front of an audience. As I hit the grass and then turned into the marathon finishing chute I could see the finish ahead of me and the timing clock about to go onto 3h48. I turned around and there was no one behind me so I decided to walk the rest of the way in and take in the crowds and other runners' emotions. I had a smile as broad as a Cheshire cat's, I had really given it my all and was so happy to improve my PB from 4h33 and to do it in The Sunflower Fund colours. That niggling doubt about running on t@r and any self doubt I had been feeling was clearly left behind when I crossed the line to finish in 3h48:18mins. I met with @beanker and then collected my medal that I certainly felt I had earned that morning.
I cannot stress at this point how much belief in yourself can carry you to your goals. Self- belief or rather self-confidence is something that I have often struggled with. It often still bothers me when I go through these inner struggles but I've got better at overcoming it over the years and it helps that those close to you believe in you too. A big thanks to @beanker, my family and friends (on and off line) this past week for all of your continued support. We've got plenty of time and other events to come but each day I'm feeling stronger and more confident about my journey to Ironman South Africa on April 22nd. I just need to ensure that I try and keep my emotions in check that day!
As always a big thanks to our sponsors New Balance and Coral Wetsuits for their fantastic support of Tri-ing for The Sunflower Fund and the awareness that we are creating.
Believe you can and you will!

Now, here is a newer study published earlier in the month. I didn't cover it here since I wrongly assumed that mass media would have picked this up and made a big deal out of it...but what followed was media silence! That doesn't do much to counter the argument that mass media relies too heavily on Big Pharma's advertising dollars. So here I am, three weeks later, covering an amazing study that should have made headlines everywhere.
This new study was a meta-analysis--considered to be among the strongest and most robust type of scientific evidence--and it showed that consuming omega-3 supplements or omega-3-rich food may reduce blood pressure just as effectively as reducing sodium or alcohol, or increasing exercise! Obviously, it doesn't replace these other beneficial lifestyle/dietary changes, but sure is a heck-of-a-lot easier.
The researchers examined the effect on blood pressure from EPA and DHA from supplements, and omega-3-rich and omega-3-fortified foods. They only selected randomized clinical trials that exceeded three weeks in duration, of which 70 trials matched this inclusion criteria.
Data analysis revealed significant benefits for both people with high blood pressure (hypertension) and normal blood pressure, although the greatest benefits were seen for those with untreated hypertension. The reductions observed for the untreated hypertensive people were at least equal to the reductions seen by other lifestyle changes (e.g. dietary sodium reduction reduces systolic blood pressure by 2-8 mm Hg, physical activity by 4-9 mm Hg, and alcohol by 2-4 mm Hg).
For untreated hypertensive subjects, average reductions of systolic and diastolic blood pressure of 4.51 mmHg and 3.05 mmHg were seen, respectively. While this may not seem like such larger reductions, when measuring blood pressure, even small reductions can have a significant clinical impact (i.e. each 2 mm Hg reduction reduces stroke mortality by 6%, coronary heart disease mortality by 4% and total mortality by 3%).
"A decrease of 4.51 mm Hg in SBP among those with high blood pressure could help an individual
avoid having to take medication to control blood pressure levels," the researchers said.

Why does it have to be a Bucket List?????
CancerGirl was spending time with her BFF Lynne and CG told her about something that CG did when she was first turned into CancerGirl, she wrote a SuperPowerOfHappiness tool list!!
The EvilMelanomaMan has many weapons in his arsenal, he has the EvilPowerOfUnhappiness, the EvilPowerOfPain, The EvilPowerOfChemoTherapy, the most powerful of his tool belt is often the worst of his weapons at his disposal. When he uses this power it can cause a CancerSuperHero to not be able to find any of the SuperPowerOfHappiness. By using the SPOH Tool List you can find that SuperPower easily.
You may be asking yourself "How do I get my own SuperPowerOfHappiness Tool List?, I bet it is very expensive isn't it??"!! Well the answer is so very simple and ABSOLUTELY FREE!!!! In fact, you can make your very own Tool List!! I am including the easy to follow steps below:
1. First get yourself a CancerSuperHero Official Notebook!! You can help Hats For Happiness
by purchasing a CancerGirl Journal by following this link to www.cafepress.com. Of course you can just get yourself a regular notebook, or even a few pieces of paper, but in this CancerSuperHero's unbiased opinion the CancerGirl Journal is much nicer then any other notebook on the market, after all it has CancerGirl right on the cover!!!
2: The second step is to number that paper from 1 to 100. Don't skimp on this step and think "ahh who wants to number all the way to 100, I will just number them as I go!!" but don't give into the urge to do that. A big part of this special tool is that you have the motivation to finish it, and it is much harder to leave something unfinished that is numbered and not filled out.
3: The third step is the most fun out of all of them. Do something that puts you in a good mood. Something that makes you happy!! If you can't think of something to do that makes you happy, then think of a time in your life that makes you happy to think about. Maybe it was that time you got the only thing you wanted for Christmas that year. Maybe it was the day that you got married. Now think of that thing or do that thing, then write it on the list.
4: The fourth through 103rd step is to repeat that process until you have completely filled up your list of 100 things that make you happy to do or think about. It is important to completely fill this list out and to do it when you are happy already.
I will now explain a little of where this idea came from (SuperOncologist calls it the "happy list" and he now has all his new patients do this because he was so impressed by it) and why it is important to follow these instructions as they are laid out.
I thought of the "happy list" after watching The Bucket List. Although I thought the movie was well done, and I found it to be very entertaining, I was left with a feeling of dread about the idea of even thinking of making a bucket list. Considering it is a movie, and taking literary licence and all it was still a very sad movie. I got done watching it and thought "I think if I had a bucket list, when I did anything on the list I would think that I was that much closer to dying. Once I got everything done, what is left? Why does it have to be a bucket list of things to check off before you die? Why cant it be a happy list?
I decided that I would write a list of things that make me happy. I hadn't started numbering them or anything, I just started writing them. I put the list aside for a while, I had begun chemo, I had school, many other more important things, I thought.
I was having a horrible day, I was in the middle of chemo, I was trying to study for school, things were not going well. I came across my list of happy things I had made with about 15 or 20 items on it. I read the first few and tried doing a few of them. I crocheted, I played with SuperDog for a while (I loved that part!!!), I thought back to a funny experience that SH and I had a few years back. These things brought me happiness and before I even realized it I felt better and I was happy.
The reason this happened is something I was yet to learn in school. When you are having negative thoughts, and are unhappy, it is extremely hard to find things that bring you happiness. It is not uncommon in those with depression (a vary common occurrence with the EvilPowerOfCancer) to bring up "unhappy" on the mental Rolodex and suddenly all the other things filed under that come up. By making a list of things that make you happy, if you use that list when you are having problems finding happiness it will begin to put your mind in a more happy forward thinking mood.
I now have my happy list on my iPad, on my desktop and as a hard copy for when I need it. If I do the first thing and that doesn't change my mood, then I go onto the next. This is why I suggest that there be 100 things. Most people think they can't find 100 things, but I have yet to find a person who at the end couldn't get to 100 and then have another 50 in their minds they could add.
By having this as a physical list, you don't have to remember them. After a while you will find that you don't need your list anymore because when you find yourself being attacked by the EvilPowerOfUnhappiness you can instantly bring up your Happy List and begin to get yourself happy!!!!

I went to a cookout at a friend's house today and was asked for these two recipes. I decided it might be fun to occasionally share some recipes on my blog. The beer cheese is one of the best appetizer dips ever. Whenever I bring it to a party, lots of people ask for the recipe. I cannot take credit for it though because I found it on a Green Bay Packers tailgating website. The spinach squares side dish recipe is an old family one that my mom and aunts have been making for family parties for as long as I can remember. My family actually refers to the spinach squares recipe as "spanakopita" which is crazy because spanakopita has feta cheese and phyllo dough and this recipe does not. Plus we are Polish not Greek, so I have no idea where the spanakopita reference came from. Maybe Polish spanakopita is made with american cheese and no phyllo dough? LOL!
Beer Cheese:
Two 8 oz blocks of cream cheese
1 packet powdered ranch dressing mix
6 oz. beer
8 oz. shredded cheddar cheese
Blend all ingredients together in food processor. Chill overnight. Serve with pretzels.
Spinach Squares:
16 oz. small curd cottage cheese
8 oz. sour cream
2 boxes frozen chopped spinach
3 Tbsp. flour
5 slices american cheese
6 eggs
1 stick of butter, melted
Thaw & drain spinach. Mix cottage cheese, sour cream, spinach, and flour together. Beat eggs in separate bowl and add to cottage cheese mixture. Stack American cheese and cut into cubes. Add cheese blocks and melted butter to mixture. Pour into 9×13 baking dish and dot with butter. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes or until browned on top. Cool to slice, but serve warm.

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) -- WhatsApp, the popular messaging service for smartphones acquired this week by Facebook, will soon be offering a voice service.
CEO Jan Koum said the voice service will be deployed for Android and iPhones this spring, with Blackberry and Microsoft and Nokia phones coming later.
"We are going to introduce voice in WhatsApp in the second quarter of this year," Koum said at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. "I think we have the best voice product out there. We use the least amount of bandwidth."
WhatsApp currently has a voice function but only in note form. This new service will be live.
On Wednesday, Facebook acquired WhatsApp for $19 billion in a deal that is by far the biggest by the social networking company and any other done by Google, Microsoft or Apple.
Wearing a gray shirt, jeans and a black jacket, the 38-year-old Koum quipped-"last week we added a new Facebook friend. I don't know if you guys heard."
The blockbuster deal made serious waves with those in the telecommunications industry who gathered this week in the Catalan city, but also sparked concern among users that Facebook would introduce advertising to WhatsApp.
Koum insisted that there are no designs to add "marketing" to the messaging service.
"There are no planned changes," said Koum. "Our vision and mission are aligned. We both want to make the world more connected."
Facebook is paying $12 billion in stock and $4 billion in cash for WhatsApp. Koum along with fellow founder Brian Acton and their 55 employees were also granted restricted stock worth $3 billion that will vest over four years after the deal closes.
Koum said that he didn't expect that WhatsApp's staff would grow in number very much, saying that "we want to operate as a start-up."
Relatively unknown until now in the U.S., WhatsApp is popular in other countries, both in Europe and in emerging economies. The Mountain View, California, start-up already has almost twice as many users as the better known short messaging service, Twitter.
WhatsApp has 465 million monthly users and 330 daily users, according to Koum, and costs users $1 a year after a first free year.

The latest development creating its units in Hollywood is women's playsuits. Jumpsuits and playsuits save yourself the trouble of coupling prime and base maxi playsuit, by presenting a one-piece that glides up as opposed to smooths down like the standard dress.
Don't do such a thing mad like throw out your Little Black Dress – that's a manner forever. Gowns are great and all but women should truly take advantage of the opportunity to have a little fun in playsuits and jumpsuits while they are in style. They will diminish off with the modify of times, really certainly. But while they are in method, mess around with different types and colors and appreciate them as you can. In the end, fashion is just as much about fun and change as it is all about looking timelessly good.
Tall, thin ladies look great in long-legged playsuits.

A halter throat will do miracles to highlight your extensive shoulders elongate your neck.

For younger women, small jumpsuits get our seal of approval. [Check out the jumpsuit from the manufacturer Finders Keepers below Girls Jumpsuits & Playsuits. They're vibrant and flaunt your girlish charms. Pair with cutesy ballroom flats, or sneakers for only a little tomboy-chic. Enjoy with colors and motifs on these ones, they are quite safe.

A black jumpsuit with a satin sheen pulling modern lines across, will give framework to your jumpsuit and show off your legs playfully and keep it age-appropriate. A squarish neckline or ¼ sleeves can provide clearer angles that look great on you.
If pretty is that which you are getting for, overlook sleeves entirely. Choose jumpsuits that feature a pipe top or corset-like style so they display plenty of epidermis up prime then flow down over your legs and allow it to be seem like you're floating into the night.

18th Street has finally started distributing to Chicago early this Summer and man did it feel like a long time coming for the Indiana brewery. I recently took a trip down to their Hammond location Brewpub, which on top of serving their great beer also has some pretty damn good eats. Lake Street Express comes in at 3.5% ABV.
Appearance: Hazy, cloudy straw yellow with a nice frothy head and nice lacing with decent head retention. I like the can art, 18th Street in general has great art.
Nose: Lemon, grapefruit, pineapple. A very delicate nose but very pleasant. Floral, citrus and a light malt presence.
Taste/Mouth: Some nice tropical flavors, mango, grapefruit, no real bitterness at all but decent flavors. Super light feel with a good bite of carbonation and a nice biscuit malt backbone. Finishes light and crisp. Definitely a nice light crushable summer session.
Price/Availability: Rotating beer from 18th and around $10/6 pack.
Overall: This feels like an awesome hot weather beer. Easy as hell to drink, not incredibly complex but I don't think it needs to be. Its enjoyable and highly crushable (3.5%) while maintaining enough depth to keep you interested while drinking. I will say it would be nice if the price point moved down a little bit. I would have this again, definitely a spring/summer patio drinker.
Grade: B-

Hello there my dear blog readers! I hope you're doing magnificently this fine Tuesday afternoon! If you follow rubyandjoy on facebook or twitter you will have been bombarded with images and updates from our time in Edinburgh at The West End Fair, and I PROMISE, this is the last of it! But I did just want to share a few bits and pieces with you from our time there - it was grand!
It was and will be a very special moment having a stand at such a well known and loved market during the Edinburgh Festival, and I can't believe how fast it has flown by! Very special shout out to husbando, who was an incredible support and kept me plied with food and hot chocolates (VERY important). I met so many lovely crafters (we bonded over our desperation for hot beverages in the afternoon) and made loads of new rubyandjoy friends. And the best part was, lots of our lovely products found lovely new homes! The (new) square cushions, cloud mobiles and elephant cushions were the most loved, and you might even see some more of our bits and bobs in some lovely wee stores soon!
We also launched our first campaign, which you can read more about here. We're donating 20% of every bird sold (that's £2.50) to The A21 Campaign, who are working towards abolishing slavery, and focus particularly on human trafficking. This is very exciting, as it's an organisation close to my heart. Although only a small offering, every bit makes a difference.
And now it's back to the sewing machine to restock! Have a peek here at our sale happening right now (hooray!), perfect for those super organised Christmas present folk. And if you're keen to see when we'll next be at the markets, have a look at our events page on facebook.
And pop on over to these wonderful folk (my market neighbours)...they really are just LOVELY!

A big huge massive thank you to all of you lovelies who came and said hello! We had such a wonderful time and are already looking forward to the next one!

Friends of Larkrise
Friends of Larkrise exists to encourage all families to become more involved in the school community. We want to organise events that bring families together, to socialise, to find out how our children learn, to have fun and to raise money for the school. All these activities will enrich the children's experience of school.
All families and staff at the school are members of Friends of Larkrise and are welcomed to:
- help at events
- become actively involved in school projects (e.g. digging, cooking, gardening)
- support activities and events
Music Tuition
Every child will participate in regular sessions of music making as a normal class activity. Some parents will want their child to learn how to play a specialist musical instrument. At the moment we are able to offer violin and cello lessons through the County Music Service and piano, recorder, guitar (acoustic and electric) and drums through private tutors. These are generally available to children in Year 3 and above. Full details of the fees are available from the school.
Larkrise Samba Band
Larkrise is increasingly known around Oxford for its irrepressible Samba Band. The band has run for five years now and currently looks and sounds stronger than ever before.
Over the years we have played at a wide variety of occasions – the Food festival at Little Wittenham, Oxford Folk Festival, Donnington Doorstep, Oxford Castle, Easter Hat Parades, Summer Fairs and five Cowley Road Carnivals. We guarantee a sunny South American Carnival sound even on the dullest day.
Our Samba band consists of pupils and staff playing alongside each other on an equal footing. Children play in the band from year Three onwards – some choose to play with the band for a year, others stick with it to the end of their time at Larkrise. There are no auditions and we can find a place for children of any musical ability. Playing in the band can give participants a big boost to their self-esteem and raise their ability to focus and concentrate. However, playing in a Samba Band can be a powerful experience – even with the provided ear protection – and some children do find it overwhelming.
It has not usually been possible for parents and carers to join the band as our practice time, 3:10 till 4:10 on a Thursday afternoon is not convenient for the majority of working adults. However if you are free at that time and would lie to join the band we would love to extend you a warm welcome – Larkrise Samba is for the whole school community!
Larkrise/Jinja SDA School Partnership
Jinja SDA Primary School is an ordinary little school in Uganda that has a special link with Larkrise. For eight years our schools have been linked sharing ideas, learning and fun. The school serves a slum area of Jinja – Uganda's second largest city – and has pupils representing a vast ethnic range. Despite challenging circumstances the school has an incredible spirit and the pupils often attain the highest exam grades in their area. The choir from Jinja SDA are brilliant and perform regularly at events all around Jinja – rather like our own Samba Band.
Over the years, eleven teachers from Larkrise have spent time teaching and learning in Jinja funded through a number of grants. They have brought back a better understanding of life in the developing world and a hugely boosted sense of commonality with our friends in Jinja. So far six colleagues from Jinja have come to visit us at Larkrise and we try to give them as warm a welcome here as we have received in their community. You can see pictures from our most recent visit at www.flickr.com/photos/mr_finch
An exciting development for 2012 has been the foundation of the Larkrise Teaching Centre in Jinja – we hope to have news about this soon.
The school also has close links with a school in India in the slums of Kalkaji, Delhi. Children attending the school are sponsored by each Year Group at Larkrise. By establishing a network of partnership schools, we can widen children's experiences and give them a deeper understanding of a variety of different cultures and lifestyles.
Watch the Larkrise/Jinja SDA School video on youtube:-
Traditions and Celebrations
Every spring since the school opened, all pupils have taken part in the Larkrise School Hat Parade. Hats are unique creations, usually made at home and can be very imaginative. In recent years, the parade is led around the local streets by the samba band and has been followed by a Friends of Larkrise social event for parents and friends.
Eid, Diwali, Hanuka and Christmas are celebrated in school with class parties, traditional tales and art. Also at Christmas, Years 1 and 2 perform a nativity play for other pupils and parents and everyone is invited to sing Christmas carols at Oxford Castle.
International Evening is another annual event. Families are invited to the school in the evening to see children's work and displays. Everyone is asked to provide a dish of food from their home country to share. Pakora, potato cakes and jam scones on one plate is a real treat.
Community Arts
We are keen participants in community activities in East Oxford. We always promote the Cowley Road Carnival and are recognisable elements in the carnival procession. We organise workshops run by community arts groups like Fusion and the Pegasus Theatre and present our work to audiences at the theatre and at community events.
As a member of the Isis partnership of schools we are involved in a number of projects that bring schools and families together as part of the Extended Schools programme. Groups of children work after school on projects which have included visits to the Ashmolean Museum , the Pitt Rivers Museum, the Jacqueline du Pre Music Rooms, the Museum of Modern Art and Botanic Gardens.
The Friends of Larkrise fund artists and performers to come into school to provide first hand experiences of live music and drama. These have included orchestras and actors performing in front of the school, calligraphy and meditation workshops, authors, illustrators, artists and dancers sharing their skills and expertise.
At Larkrise we recognise the importance of sport and exercise in children's lives. We want to engender a positive attitude to a wide range of sporting activities, and for children to enjoy participating in them. Through our games programme we aim to teach children good habits of daily exercise and an understanding of tactics and purpose. We recognise the existence of competition and aim to channel it into positive attitudes. We try to teach the children how to win and lose appropriately. We want children to become enthusiastic sports people throughout their lives.
Each class follows a programme of physical activity involving small team games and personal performance. Football and cricket are organised at lunchtimes and after school. Teams are entered into football, cricket, tag rugby, athletics competitions and they play competitively against other schools. We hold an afternoon of athletics competitions every summer term. We want all children to have equal access to sporting opportunities regardless of gender, race or disability, and for children from these groups to form small teams alongside each other.

ResurFX Treatment
ResurFX is a photo-fractional, non-ablative (does not destroy or ablate the skin cells) laser treatment used for facial skin resurfacing and to stimulate the production of new collagen. The laser technology works to improve skin discoloration, stretch marks, acne scars, wrinkles and more.
ResurFX can treat the following conditions:
- Age spots or sun spots
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Stretch marks
- Hyperpigmentation or discoloration
- Uneven skin tone
- Scars from acne or surgery
- Lax or loose skin
ResurFX Advantages
- Faster; it treats the underlying condition in one pass without damaging the skin's surface
- Less painful; the device's energy is distributed to prevent overheating and damaging skin surfaces
- Flexible; it can be combined with fillers and neurotoxins to provide more treatment possibilities.
The Process
ResurFX is a very exclusive laser where it uses its beam to penetrate dermis and heats up the tissue and then initiate the process of formation of new collagen. The laser is moved around the target area, section by section. It enhances the blood circulation and in turn, helps in building collagen and rejuvenating the skin.
Is it Painful?
A numbing cream is applied to the target area 30 minutes prior to the treatment. The treatment itself is an uncomfortable process. It's a fuzzy, hot and tingly sensation. In saying that, some areas I didn't feel anything, while other areas (around the jawline especially) I could feel the laser penetrating through the skin but it only lasts for a second. In my opinion I didn't find it all that bad, although I do have a high tolerance for pain. Let's put it this way, I'd get it done again without batting an eyelid!
The Results
By day two my skin was absolutely glowing and flawless. My main issue was the line across my forehead and by day two it was gone. After a few weeks it started to reappear, not as deep as it originally was, but visible to the eye. Clodagh had explained prior to the treatment that deep lines and scars can take a number of sessions to remove. I was recommended 3-4 sessions for best results.

IPL Hair Removal
IPL's are NOT lasers.
IPL uses light to remove hair, but emits a varying wavelength of light. Therefore, the intensity of light varies across the area that the light source focuses on. It will be more powerful in some areas, and not necessarily in the areas where the unwanted hair is. The light emitted by the IPL cannot focus on a specific area, whereas medical grade laser can focus on a specific hair follicle.
IPL is far less effective than laser hair removal.
Medical Grade Laser
Medical grade lasers are highly technological pieces of machinery that must be operated by trained and qualified technicians. Clodagh's Laser and Skin clinic in Blanchardstown, specialise in skin treatments and laser hair removal (luminis light sheer medical grade laser).
The lasers in Clodagh's clinic generate their own light which is then focused onto a specific area – even a specific hair follicle. They have a single wavelength, providing a targeted treatment for hair removal. The light emitted by the IPL cannot focus on a specific area.
Pros and Cons
IPL works like a flash-lamp, sending out scattered wavelengths of light.
Medical Grade Laser sends out a single wavelength, providing a targeted treatment for hair removal.
IPL's scattered wavelengths expose the client to heat and discomfort which can be avoided with medical grade lasers.
Medical Grade Laser is focussed on the area where the unwanted hair actually is, resulting in efficiency and minimal discomfort to the area.
IPL only really works for those with fair skin and dark hair.
Medical Grade Laser can be specifically set to skin tone/type, the machine can be adapted to target an exact pigment.
IPL is considerably cheaper but less effective.
Medical Grade Laser is more expensive but requires less treatments and results in long-term results and permanency.

The destruction of the grandest, most important temple in the ancient Syrian town of Palmyra has flung so-called Islamic State's (IS) barbarous actions back into international consciousness.
Many will wonder why anyone would so actively seek to raze historical and cultural marvels that have lasted millennia.
But for the IS bulldozers, the rationale is straightforward and fulfils several readily identifiable goals.
As IS notes in the eighth issue of its own publication, the glossy Dabiq magazine, they see ancient cultural heritage as a challenge for the loyalties and legitimacy of Iraqi or Syrian people to IS itself.

Greenhouse Windows in Chino Hills For a Nicer Home!
What Are Greenhouse Windows?
Greenhouse windows in Chino Hills, Rancho Cucamonga or Fontana are windows that protrude from the profile of the building. Since sunlight falls at an angle, this means that more sunlight penetrates greenhouse windows than their conventional counterparts, thus making them useful for certain circumstances when people want plenty of sunlight in particular places.
What Are the Benefits of Greenhouse Windows?
In main, people choose to install greenhouse windows in ChinoHills, Rancho Cucamonga and Fontana on their buildings for the purpose of extending the growing season. After all, the increased sunlight makes it possible to support plants that would not be able to thrive without it. At the same time, the structure lets the building owner keep them indoors rather than outdoors, which can be critical for plants that suffer when exposed to colder temperatures and other examples of bad weather. As a result, greenhouse windows can make excellent additions for people who like to grow plants by making it easier than otherwise possible. Therefore, greenhouse windows in Chino Hills are preferred by residents for their indoor plants.
More Light!
However, it is important to note that bringing more light into a building can provide a number of other benefits as well. For example, a brighter space tends to feel more open and spacious, which can make someone making use of it that much happier and thus that much more productive. Furthermore, a space that is lit up by natural lighting has no need of its artificial counterpart, meaning that building owners can save a fair amount on their operating costs in the long run. Finally, the presence of sunlight can often have a beneficial impact for people's health, which can be critical for those who spend too much indoors rather than outdoors. Having your home with greenhouse windows in Chino Hills makes you daytime longer.
How Should You Get a Greenhouse Window Installed In Your Home?
Regardless, if you are interested in getting a greenhouse window installed on your home, there are some things that you should consider:
* You can choose from more than one material, each of which possesses its own fair share of strengths and weaknesses. For example, vinyl is not so conductive, meaning that you could end up getting more heat than what you had expected. However, if you choose vinyl that has been painted white, you can decrease your maintenance costs because you can expect your paint job to last for a long time to come while suffering no more than minimal signs of damage. Since there are so many choices out there, you should make sure to consult an expert about what you can get as well as what is most suitable for your particular needs and circumstances.
* Other than materials, there are other considerations that should be included in your final decision. For example, you will want to choose something with a style that is compatible with the rest of your home in order to avoid creating a visual mess. Similarly, you might want greenhouse windows with rounded corners, which can be important if you have either children or pets at home. Once again, if you are interested, you should contact an expert for their opinion.
* Finally, you should make sure to consult someone that you can count on to provide you with the expertise and experience that you need, which you can do by checking the reviews that have been posted by their previous clients. After all, there are a lot of potential mistakes that can be made during the greenhouse window installation process, meaning that you want to minimize the chances of those happening as much as possible.

Markets surge on GST hopes, foreign funds (Market Review)
Mumbai, July 30 (IANS) Indian equity markets were buoyed by positive anticipation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Bill clearing parliament, supported by a perceptible inflow of foreign funds, and continued to accumulate profits during the week ended Friday.
The two key equity indices — the sensitive index (Sensex) of the BSE and the Nifty of the National Stock Exchange (NSE) — gained around one per cent each, even though they ended in the red on the last day of trade.
The 30-scrip Sensex made significant gains during the week as it surged 248.62 points or 0.89 per cent to 28,051.86 points.
The wider 51-scrip NSE Nifty also closed higher. It rose to 8,638.50 points — up 97.30 points or 1.14 per cent.
"Buoyed by positive developments in parliament with regard to the passage of the GST bill, participants turned buyers in the market," Brijesh Ved, Senior Portfolio Manager, BNP Paribas AMC, said.
"The current rally in the Indian markets seems to be largely fuelled by liquidity and buying by foreign investors."
The benchmark indices started off the trading week on a higher note, keeping an eye on the progress of the GST bill issue in parliament.
The government's decision to drop the proposal for one per cent additional manufacturing tax on inter-state sales increased the chances of GST getting passed, which boosted investors' sentiments.
On the global front, the markets traded higher after Japan unveiled a huge stimulus package to spur its economy.
"Global cues were also positive owing to the expectation of stimulus by global central banks, including BoJ (Bank of Japan)," Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit BNP Paribas, said.
Similarly, the US Fed's recent decision at the FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) meet to keep rates unchanged also supported the bulls.
However, negative bias was partly infused after the BoJ decided to increase purchases of ETFs (exchange traded funds), but kept interest rates steady on Friday.
Moreover, the Indian markets traded with blended sentiments during the week on the back of July derivatives expiry.
The positive momentum noticed in the markets was mostly due to sustained foreign fund inflows and on optimism that global central banks will remain supportive of growth.
According to Pankaj Sharma, Head of Equities, Equirus Securities, almost 70 per cent of net purchasing by FIIs in calendar year 2016 has happened in July.
"Net buying from foreign investors has picked up sharply in July in local markets," Sharma said.
"Though it had became more subdued in May-June after strong interest in March-April, there is strong revival in foreigners' buying interest this month."
The week witnessed a hefty influx of foreign funds. Provisional figures from the stock exchanges showed that FIIs purchased stocks worth Rs 3,719.63 crore.
Figures from the National Securities Depository (NSDL) showed that foreign portfolio investors were net buyers of equities worth Rs 4,454.35 crore, or $663.05 million, from July 25-29.
Despite the healthy influx of foreign funds, the equity markets fell prey to profit booking towards the end of the week as investors consolidated gains.
Nevertheless, the healthy progress of the monsoon season and a recovering rupee managed to support prices at lower levels.
On a weekly basis, the currency strengthened to 67.02 against a US dollar from its previous close of 67.08 on July 22.
In terms of indices, the midcap index outperformed with a gain of 2.4 per cent, followed by a 1.5 per cent gain in the smallcap index.
"The large cap also followed the trend with 1.4 per cent gains led by better Q1 results of index heavyweights in the consumer durables, banking and auto sectors," Nair added.
Among the individual Sensex stocks, Maruti Suzuki was the top gainer (up 7.74 per cent at Rs 4,755.20), followed by Asian Paints (up 6.64 per cent at Rs 1,114.70), Power Grid (up 5.42 per cent at Rs 175.90), Sun Pharmaceuticals (up 5.33 per cent at Rs 829.75) and Tata Consultancy Services (up 4.36 per cent at Rs 2,618.55).
The losers were led by Dr. Reddy's Lab (down 18.53 per cent at Rs 2,937.25), Tata Steel (down 2.89 per cent at Rs 354.75), Gail (down 2.54 per cent at Rs 385), Hero MotoCorp (down 1.65 per cent at Rs 3,206.45) and Bharti Airtel (down 1.50 per cent at Rs 362.05).

Outstanding communication -- I got responses to emails that I sent even after business hours within an hour or so. Being an anxious type of person -- the communication and confidence from the attorney's office was something I truly appreciated. Attorney Corbett was very professional and persistent -- he even got my case moved to a different court to get my speeding ticket reduced to a lower charge. They got me the best possible outcome - frankly something that I did not come close to expecting (no points on my license or insurance). I will probably never be caught alive saying this about a lawyer, but with the quality of service I got I actually felt guilty about how little I was charged for their service!
My speeding ticket was handled and no points on my liscense or insurance! Thank you. Very pleased with their service and highly recommend them.
Wonderful group of people to work with. Thank you.
Quality service and fair pricing. Bryan was able to have my speeding violation reduced, and made the whole process painless.
Mr. Corbett carefully explained our options, and did a wonderful job representing us at our traffic case. Best possible outcome -highly recommend.
excellent service, Tyler was very helpful and made sure we always knew what was going on
Very pleased with this company!! Bryan took care of all of my court appearances and kept me posted and up to date with everything. In the end, no points were added to my license and no increase with my car insurance. I was stress free throughout the whole process, I can't thank you enough!!
Bryan has a great disposition, very client driven and has great relationships with his DA colleagues. He knows the NC Statutes and has supporting resources if questions arise. I utilized his skill set for a traffic violation and the outcome was ruled in my favor. I would recommend Bryan for all of your legal needs as well.
Could not have been an easier process. Thanks so much Mr. Corbett!!
Bryan is a true professional and really takes time to understand his clients. He is also not condescending and very helpful to people. If you need an attorney Bryan is one you can trust.
A traffic ticket was reduced to improper equipment and all instructions on their website and letters of correspondences were followed precisely by the law offices of Harbinson, Brzykcy, and Corbett, LLP, and by me.
Wonderful experience doing business with Bryan Corbett and the office! Got to work on my case the very same day I hired him and was able to get my traffic ticket reduced and off my driving record. Very pleased with how up to date he and staff at Harbinson, Brzykcy & Corbett kept me throughout the process. Made a very stressful situation a breeze!
Couldn't be more appreciative and grateful for the care and services from Bryan. He was super quick to take care of everything for me. Literally, STRESS FREE!! Couldn't ask for anything more!
Great attorney in Iredell county. If you need legal help, start with Bryan.
The process went exactly as promised with the results I was told to expect. It was efficient, timely, and cost effective.I could not be more pleased.

The Art of Motivation for the Professional Golf Coach
One of the most important jobs a golf coach has is that of motivation. It can make all the difference in the world between success and failure. Dictionary.com defines "motivation" as "the act or instance of motivating, or providing a reason to act in a certain way," and "the state or condition of being motivated."
Motivation may be the most powerful tool there is. Without it, literally nothing gets done. All of our actions are based upon it.
Psychologists list two types of motivation, intrinsic and extrinsic. Intrinsic motivation is when the person does something because it is inherently enjoyable or interesting, while extrinsic motivation
exists when the person does something for external reasons. Intrinsic motivation in golf would involve the pleasure of hitting good golf shots and enjoying the outdoors and friends, while extrinsic motivation involves factors such as winning a bet or reaching some other goal. Intrinsic motivation has long been thought to be the more effective of the two, but some psychologists are of the opinion that extrinsic motivation is almost as, if not as, effective, in certain cases.
Take Tiger Woods, for example. Winning golf tournaments would involve extrinsic motivation, but certainly he finds great internal pleasure in doing so. Because Woods has been able to turn an external factor, winning golf tournaments, into an internal joy, you could fairly argue that Woods is motivated intrinsically to win golf tournaments. This sounds like something all tour professionals would be doing, but you would be surprised. Winning, even to most touring pros, is a stressful venture. Woods, and other great champions, likely find the process of contending and winning to be far more pleasurable than stressful.
One of the great motivators in Woods' life was his father, Earl. Earl instilled into a young Tiger that he was destined for great things. He supported and nurtured Tiger every step of the way, using things he learned in the military to motivate Tiger to greatness.
Outside of golf, great motivators include Theodore Roosevelt and Winston Churchill. Roosevelt is author of one of the great quotes of all time, which in part states, "The credit belongs to the man who is
actually in the arena…and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those timid souls who know neither victory or defeat." Churchill, during England's dark days of World War II, said, "We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender."
Okay, so golf isn't as serious as that, but how can golf coaches motivate their clients? The key is for them to develop intrinsic motivation. They have to take inherent pleasure in improving, striking the ball, or some other aspect of the game. It helps if we stress the enjoyable aspects of the game, rather than "you must do this or that."
Golf coaches everywhere know the struggle to get their competitors to practice properly. Perhaps, instead of stressing performance issues related to practicing, we need to talk about the inherent enjoyment that exists in performing better.
Some coaches face the task of getting their competitive players motivated to play and practice. With most competitive players, this isn't a hard job, as the competition itself is a great motivator for these players. But, we've all seen the stories of touring professionals who might be burned out, who are going through the motions and who
aren't practicing like they once did. Usually they get tired of underperforming after awhile and get back to working more diligently on their games. Their distaste for their poor performance is the motivating factor here.
Coaching at the junior, high school, or collegiate level is a different challenge. Players can get discouraged if they are not among the better competitors. High school and college coaches can help alleviate this by guaranteeing every golfer to play in at least one or two matches. This should motivate these players to keep striving for improvement.
Junior players who are not close to winning should be given modest goals to reach; in other words, they are not competing so much against the other players but against themselves and the course.
Golf coaches wear many hats, and motivator is one of the most important. Being encouraging and getting our charges to appreciate the inherent enjoyment of the game goes a long way in providing motivation for them.

When we realized that Mark would be in training for his new Foreign Service job in Washington, DC, for several months without the rest of the family, a couple of relationship truisms came to mind: "Absence makes the heart grown fonder" and "Out of sight, out of mind." They're truisms, probably, because they're both true at least some of the time.
Our experience has been something of a mix — I greatly appreciate the ways Mark contributed to the family and household that I didn't pay much attention to before, and I miss him, a lot. And he has said many times, when I've been wringing my hands about this or that, "Just move on up here! Just come!"
But at the same time, he's in a new world in DC, and I'm here, and not being in the same space simply makes it harder to clue into each other periodically. I'm thinking our recent discussion about certain housing preferences in Tijuana. I'm sure Mark meant to be gallant when he said, "It's all up to you, your decision!" But I felt dumped on — one more decision when I'm tapped out — and, as is my tendency, I expressed this to him. Emphatically.
Here's where the experience part may come in. We will have been married 20 years on Sept. 3, and we haven't yet forgotten everything we've learned, thank goodness. When I was nearly nine months pregnant with Zoe, for instance, we were talking about about whether to use the top of a chest to change diapers or buy an actual changing table. I started crying — I could not make one more decision — so Mark stepped up and declared "changing table" and we moved on.
He did the same thing this time. Rather than get defensive when I told him this housing question was NOT all up to me, given than I can barely answer to my name these days, can't you see that!!, he pivoted, made the decision, and we were back in calm waters.
There may have been something else at work when he snapped at me recently over what he perceived as my nitpicking about some of the details he's in charge of from DC. Somehow in the span of a few seconds I recognized that a) snappiness is unusual for him, b) he sounds more like a stressed-out me than himself, and thus c) he must be really stressed. So I responded reassuringly — no that's not what I meant at all. I was kind of amazed at myself, knowing how reactive I can be sometimes. But it occurred to me that I was intuiting that we have to be careful of each other right now — in the middle of a big life change, we don't want to have that blowout unless we have to or need to. And that may be something else that only comes to with experience.
In any case, it won't be long — a month from now I'll be in DC with him and Jack, preparing to head out to Mexico. All that togetherness will of course present its own challenges. But I have to say, I can't wait.
