So you want to buy a house
At some point in your married life, you will want to buy a house. If you have purchased a house early in your working career then lucky for you. Many people however will usually choose to get a car first as their main priority, you know to get around especially with their new family. Houses only come later when they are more stable financially. I was no different than the norm. We got our first car on our second year of marriage and our first home 5 years later. Back then we didn't earn much so owning a house although important, was not really a priority until the later years when we have improved ourselves financially. Even then getting the 5% deposit for our RM115,000 home was a real chore. We had to some of it from my Dad and then get the rest from our EPF savings. After much difficulties and multiple appointments with real estate agents and lawyers we finally got our quaint little home in Taman Puncak Jalil. It was only a small 3 bedroom apartment but it was a home to call our own.
Fast forward 7 years later. We were happily settled in our small apartment. 2 of my kids are enrolled at a primary school nearby while the other one started her first year at kindergarten. If we were to spend our lives there for the next 2 decades or so it would be fine by me. The location is strategic, tucked in the middle of Taman Puncak Jalil. Very near to my wife's workplace and only 30 minutes ride to mine. We had a good neighbourhood, crime and break-ins were once a problem in the early days but almost completely gone by now thanks to improved security measures. And for as long as I can remember we haven't had a single water cut ever since we lived there. Not even during the severe drought a few years back where there were water rationing in a few districts around Klang Valley.
My wife however had a different idea of an ideal home. It should be a landed property in a nice neighbourhood. I was not totally opposed to the idea, I mean who doesn't like living in a nice terrace house with lawns or at least a front porch to park your car and bike right? However have you looked at the price of landed properties recently? They usually start from 500K onwards and even if you're lucky enough to get that price, the property would be in some far away secluded area, far from your workplace or civilization. Ideally you will want a new home not too far away from work with good amenities from a trusted developer. In reality, those homes do exist but they will cost you a lot. Like triple my current house price a lot.
I managed to convince my wife otherwise a few times every time she brought up the idea but there's only so much excuse one can give. Especially when you realize that house prices will continue their upward trend for the foreseeable future despite the occasional talk of property bubble bursting (they will never, people will buy houses all the time). Therefore if we don't start looking for our dream home now, we might not be able to afford them in the future when they start going above the 1 million ringgit threshold. I kid you not, many new and even old houses are going at that price rate already at the moment. So you see our choice and time are pretty limited. Buy our new home now at a slightly high price or content to live in our current place forever because we can't possibly afford them in the future. So we did the former and started to seriously look for our new home.
Since we are currently living in Seri Kembangan, some 20 kilometers south of KL, it is only naturally that we went looking southward for our next property. Our main recommendation come from the numerous billboards lining the north-south highway that we regularly take. We took note of the name of the housing project and did a research on each and every one of them. We had a few criterias to look for our new home; it has to be accessible with easy access from any of the main highways, has a nice design from a trustworthy developer, located not too far away from Seri Kembangan (40 KM max) and most importantly not too expensive (550K was our initial target). We found a few houses in Kajang and Semenyih. Many were way above our budget. Some were not really accessible, tucked too far away from the main road. But as we were about to go home from a house-finding mission one weekend, we stumbled upon this billboard promoting Serene Heights in Semenyih. It was from UEM Sunrise, a well-established developer alright. Since the project site is not so far away from where we were, we decided to have a look.
About 15 minutes drive away from Semenyih town we arrived at Serene Height at Jalan Bangi Lama. There's another exit to the Lekas highway about 5 kilometers away so that's a tick on accessibility. We met the salesperson/marketing people at the show gallery. Khairul Nizam was very warm and friendly and after the initial introduction about the project, he took us to see the show house next door. As you can see from the pictures below, it is a really nice house in a green township surrounded by parks, ponds, gardens, playgrounds and other amenities. Sure they furnished the house well and the show house is in fact a corner lot but I'm sure if our future home will look just as nice if we bought it of course. It has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms which is more than enough space for all of us plus guests which was one of the main drawback of our current small home. My wife and kids were obviously excited and keen to live there. The project is expected to finish in 3 years time and in the meantime we can save some money for the furniture, kitchen and minor renovation works. Did I tell you how much the house costs? Oh only RM641,800, after bumiputra discount. Yes it was somewhat above our budget but my wife was already sold with the idea of living in it. And you know how my wife is, once she sets her mind on something, she would do everything in her power to get it.
To be honest, it didn't much to convince us to fill up the application form and sign our names on the dotted line. The house is indeed going to be in a nice neighbourhood, another box ticked and Semenyih is only 28 kilometers away (or 28 minutes drive in clear traffic) from my wife's workplace. Plus the salesperson did a really good job in convincing us to buy the house. So in like an hour later we signed up to buy the house there and then. That escalated quickly. Now looking at houses and filling up the application form are the easy part. The hard part is to look for the money to pay the 10 percent deposit from the 642K price. Last time we had to borrow money from family members and took out a personal loan to pay for the deposit. This time around however, my wife had already saved enough to pay around 5,000 ringgit and the remaining will come from my EPF account 2 savings. Unlike 7 years ago, I actually have some money to spare in my EPF account so that's the deposit settled.
As for the housing loan, we are lucky that my wife worked at a bank and her company provides housing loan packages for staffs at a generously low interest rate. In hindsight we were lucky she didn't apply for a staff loan for our first home because else we couldn't take another for this new home. Still we had to anxiously wait a few weeks before our housing loan is finally approved and I had to visit the bank's HQ a few times to submit documents and stuff. Even better, this time all the legal fees are including in the loan so we didn't have to pay a penny for those sleazy lawyers. We don't think we'd be so lucky with conventional loans at other banks since our monthly commitment were rather high at the moment. So about a month later when all the S&P agreement are signed and loan approved, we are now a proud owner of a terrace unit in Serene Heights.
There's a huge difference between buying our first home and this second one. Back then we had to wait way longer and fork out about 13,000 ringgit of our own money for the deposit, legal fees and what not. This time we were ready with our savings in cash and EPF money and our lawyers and bank are far more efficient than last time. Are we excited to finally be able to live in a landed house in a nice neighbourhood? You bet! That said, we are still slightly worried on the amount of installment we have to pay every month which is roughly RM2,700, six times our current monthly installment. Sure we can sell our current house which could easily fetch RM300K and more since our unit is partially furnished with complete kitchen cabinets and all. Or we can rent it out for the going rate of 1,000 a month which should cover part of the new monthly installment. Either way we are not rushed to make a decision since 3 years is still a long way to go and we need time to think it through. Hopefully by then both of us have achieved considerable increase in our salaries to cope with the high installment.
So you see buying a house in Malaysia is not that hard to be honest. You just need to be prepared with money, lots of them. For me my dream home need to be accessible, has to has a nice design, build by trustworthy developer and has a strategic location from our workplaces. I'm sure different people will have different criterias for their ideal home but whatever it is, make sure you think things through before making such an important decision. It is a big commitment that could potentially span your entire working career and even way into your retirement.
Finding your dream home and finding the one you can actually afford is a delicate thing to achieve. The key is to find the right balance between those two and making concessions. I want to advise you to find a home as soon as you start working but I know that not everybody can afford to do that. Just make it your priority target because those houses are not going to get any cheaper in the future and without some drastic intervention from the government, the property developers are just going to get their way and make houses in accessible for the common people.

This time last year I'd just got back from this amazing holiday so I know writing this post is definitely going to give me the blues. In June 2012 myself and eleven friends boarded a plane at London Southend Airport to fly to Ibiza for what was one of the most incredible weeks I've ever had.
We'd managed to keep the price down to just £350 each for self catering apartments at Ibiza Mar Aparthotel. Originally we had booked at a previous hotel but last minute we found out that they'd overbooked and we'd have to find somewhere else (thanks Going Places!). Having read such disappointing reviews online we were expecting the worst yet ended up being quite pleasantly surprised. Everything was pretty basic but that was all we needed. The only slight problem we hadwas that some ants decided to join us in our room, however that was our fault for being so messy. It also turned out it was the same hotel The Midnight Beast used in their video for Pizza in Ibiza!
We only visited one big club in our time there as we were on such a tight budget, most of my friends had just finished university so had only had a limited time to save. We went to Es Paradis for the water party on our first night in Ibiza. We began the night by having a few drinks on our balcony, there was a Spar shop just a short walk away from the hotel where we had stocked up on vodka and gin. A few rounds of the drinking game 'Grand National' and we were ready to go. We were all in agreement that the water party was one of the best nights out we've had, witnessing a club turn into a giant swimming pool was quite something! One thing I will say though, if you plan on going to one of these parties and you are a contact lens wearer try not to fall over! My silly Primark sandals really didn't help me and I spent a lot of my night spluttering, clutching to my friends neck hoping my lens' hadn't fallen out.
One of our favourite places to go when we were there was Ground Zero, known as Ibiza's only indie & rock bar. Jumping around singing along to Mr Brightside by The Killers is one of my favourite memories from this place. The music was good, the drinks were cheap and the staff were friendly. Winning combo if you ask me! Another bar we frequented was Linekers, not too far from the hotel and there were always drinks deals going on. Some of the England football players turned up there one night, sadly it was one of the nights we had chosen to stay in. Probably for the best though as it would've more than likely been rammed.
We did make it to the beach for one day, where the boys went on the banana boats and waterskis. Unfortunately I was too low on cash by this point to do any water activities but just swimming in the sea and sunbathing was fine by me. Especially as by saving my money I got to attend Ocean Beach Clubs opening party later on. We enquired about what was happening as we walked past and decided to go in and see what it was like. Pretty much everyone in there looked like a model, apparently there were a few celebrities milling about as well but we didn't see anyone. The drinks were expensive but the atmosphere was amazing, they'd gone all out with the dancers and the lasers.
A few friends who had been before had recommended that we go to Zoo Project, which is a party on a boat for most of the day before being taken to an old Zoo to party more. You also have to dress as an animal, knowing I had bought a zebra print dress for the holiday anyway made this easier. I had a lot of fun with Zoo Project, but a few of my friends didn't realise they had seasickness until they got on the boat, so be careful about that! (I'd forgotten my sunglasses on this day so I had to borrow my friend pineapple ones, it wasn't meant to be part of my outfit haha!)
We did take some nights off from the drinking and going out, for instance, one night we decided to have a netball match in a nearby playground where we found out we're all too competitive. Another night we bought an inflatable boat which we filled with ice and water to keep our beers cool before chilling on the balcony the whole night. We also got a bit bored of living off Spar baguettes all week so we found a Tapas restaurant which does the tastiest calamari I've ever tasted. You should definitely check it out if you go to San Antonio! (http://tapasrestaurantibiza.com/tapas-menu/) Ibiza is such a beautiful place and there is so much to do. I can't wait to go back so I can experience even more of it. Maybe next year?!

Can you help me with this exercises? please. ;D!
1) ln (4-x) + ln(2) = 2 ln(x)
2) log5(2x-1) = 2
3) mx+1 : mx-1
Are these your intended questions Paulina? Number 3 doesn't make sense.
Paulina, you have to hit the "post answer" button at the bottom.
then tell me if what I have written is correct.
Note to other people.
(I am putting Paulina's questions here because she is new and it is all too confusing)
1) ln (4-x) + ln(2) = 2 ln(x)
x=-4\qquad &or& \qquad x=2
now I am confused as well.
You cannot have the ln of a negative number so I guess x=2
Melody's first answer is correct....here's a graph of the solution....
As for the second question, we have........ log5(2x-1) = 2.........in exponential form, we have
52 = 2x-1
25 = 2x -1 subtract 1 from both sides
26 = 2x divide by 2
13 = x
And there you go......
This one was confusing me a bit.
ln (x)2 = 2ln(x)
but with 2ln(x) x must be >0
and with ln (x)2 x is just in the set of reals.
How does that work???
I'm not 100% sure but I thought there's some rule that
$$ln(x^k)\overset{for x>0,k>0}{=}k*ln(x)$$
I think that for x<0 it's simply not true

Helice closest thing to bird shooting
BOERNE — The Texas Hill Country is full of boys and their guns, many of whom will be trying to bag some dove this weekend.
The best of the bunch, however, will be spending his weekend at a shooting range in Kerrville, trying to qualify for yet another world championship shooting team.
Gavin Scott, a 17-year-old senior at Boerne Champion, is the reigning junior world champ in helice, a form of sports shooting that emulates bird-shooting by throwing traps higgledy-piggeldy into the air.
Scott, a former Chargers middle linebacker, won the gold at the world championships in Venice, Italy, in August.
"I've always had a passion for hunting," the soft-spoken Scott said. Helice, he added, lets him simulate the thrill of bird hunting year-round.
He killed his first deer at 5. He joined 4-H and got into sports hunting. A family friend introduced him to helice five years ago.
Helice is like bird hunting because of the randomness of how the target flies. It's got elements of hunting, video games and curling rolled into one incredibly strict discipline.
It's similar, conceptually, to other forms of sports shooting because competitors shoot at an airborne target.
It differs from trap or skeet shooting, however, in several key ways.
Traditional shooting uses a single machine to launch targets. Helice uses five. A computer randomly picks the firing order, which means the shooter has to be ready for targets coming out of five slots.
That makes helice very hard, but that's just the beginning. Each trap consists of a ring with a set of plastic wings that resemble a helicopter's blades. A plastic disc, about the size of a puck, is popped into the center of the ring.
Traditional clay shooting targets head in the same direction. The helice target's wings, however, interact with the wind and can head off in any direction once launched.
And here's where it gets tricky. The only way to score is to hit the target, which is flying around like a drunken house fly, and have the white disc drop in a specified target area.
One more thing: Helice shooters use shotguns, so the shooter only has two chances to hit the target, typically in a three-second span.
"The idea," Scott told me, "is to shoot fast. The faster you shoot, the better it goes."
That's because the target is flying relatively normally at that point. It hasn't caught much wind, which causes it to travel faster and in unexpected directions.
Scott figured that part out on his own, sans shooting lessons.
"Gavin is good at this because it requires instinct," said Michael Higgins, head of the U.S. Helice Association. "And that's how he shoots."
Traditional sports shooters, Higgins said, are taught to visualize and aim a certain distance ahead of the moving target. In that respect, they're very mechanical and precise in their shooting style.
That doesn't work in helice because the target's trajectory is always different.
"You can't think it through," Higgins said. "You just see it and shoot."
Scott, he added, also has the maturity necessary to succeed at an elite level because he doesn't become rattled.
"You can't get upset about missing a target," Scott said. "Everyone misses. Worrying about a miss doesn't help in getting the next target."
Perfect scores happen in helice, but rarely. Last year, in which 250 helice shooters fired thousands of shells in official competitions, only six people scored perfect rounds, Higgins said.
Scott is focused on returning to the U.S. team for the World Championships to repeat his success. That requires doing well in five national qualifying tournaments.
He's also competing for a spot on the bunker trap shooting team for the Junior Olympics. He'll be in Kerrville on Saturday and Sunday to begin that effort.
"It's an entirely different process,' Scott said. "And I'm starting from behind everyone else there."
Of course, he's a world champ and the odds are that none of them are, so I suspect Scott will do well.

Yesterday I talked about bottom up asset liquidity. Today I shall continue reviewing the various forms of words which appear in discussions of liquidity.
Liquidity mismatch.
Think of a firm's need for cash as a demand curve. And its ability to get its hands on cash as a supply curve. A liquidity mismatch occurs when this set of curves are out of sync.
I shall give two made up examples - an industrial goods manufacturer and a multi-strategy hedge fund. First the industrial goods company.
The company already has a number of loans, bonds, convertibles outstanding with a number of market participants. It also has operating cash and holds a number of near-cash securities. On top of all of this, it has a set of assets and new projects and ongoing projects. These ongoing projects deliver cash flows into the organisation. The expected magnitude and timing of these cash-flows is an ongoing estimation problem for the CFO. It is also a function of the economy generally, of sales, of a broad range of conditions, in other words.
Meanwhile its financial liabilities (those loans and bonds) have a mostly very clear timeline of coupon payments and repayment dates. It is, of course, part of the CFO's job to manage all of this, but they are operating in an uncertain world. Projects may bleed, they may fail catastrophically. Macro-economic disaster might befall the economy. What resources does the firm have to draw on to meet those more-or-less well known short term cash demands?
Side note. The need for cash doesn't in general need to be short term, but that is clearly the most pressing end of the timeline. The immediate future is the period which most rapidly becomes 'now' and 'now' is when a creditor may declare its dissatisfaction with the borrowing firm.
The firm has cash and cash equivalents. Some of this is considered operating cash - money in the till, to use a shop-keeping analogy. This cash in a sense needs to be there for the smooth operation of the day to day business of the firm. But in an emergency this might be considered a pot to be raided. If the company is prudent, it will also have cash and near cash reserves (certificates of deposit, short term sovereign securities). A very conservative company might chose to have enough cash in these reserves to pay the next n months, but of course, the n months will pass, and that pot needs to be replenished. The pot itself is depleted only in exceptional circumstances. The downside of having too big a pot of cash and cash equivalents is that it is capital sitting earning not much more than a risk free return. And firms have as a goal the desire to produce a return on equity in excess of the risk free rate. Otherwise why would an investor invest in a firm in the first place?
So, assuming a new demand for cash materialised, where else might the firm look? Perhaps new loans or new bonds. Perhaps a rights issue (a request from current and potential equity investors to give the company cash in return for ultimate fractional ownership in the company). Perhaps cost savings. Perhaps the shuttering of certain projects, with concomitant staff reductions. Perhaps the sale of certain assets in the market - plant, financial securities. Perhaps the monetisation of some fraction of its asset base. But as you can imagine, all these options take time, and perhaps some mark down on sale prices - after all, the market might perceive the firm as executing a fire sale, so might be tempted to offer fire-sale prices.
This misalignment of (potentially immediate, potentially short term) demands for cash with (somewhat longer term) supply is what is known as a liquidity mismatch.
If you think about it, to say that a firm is experiencing a liquidity problem in the first place is to identify a more or less dramatic liquidity mismatch. So in a sense most liquidity problems are liquidity mismatch problems, and the word liquidity can often be considered as a synonym for a liquidity mismatch problem.
In case 2, the multi-strategy hedge fund, there is a little stub of a management company managing a potentially much larger pool of investments on behalf of investors. The management firm itself, often a partnership, received equity investment by founding partners, who are said to have committed their cash for the long(-ish)term. It will have well understood staffing costs and fixed costs. In some ways, the investment management firm is a bit like 'head office' for a large goods manufacturer, but without the regional factories, offices, large staff, input supply chains, etc. So the cash flows of the management firm are somewhat clearer. Also those management firms might have loans but they won't typically be as well developed as with non-financial firms. For multi-strategy hedge funds, the 'work' happens in the collection of financial assets and liabilities within its fund(s). These investors in the fund can be flighty, and prime brokers can also adjust the generosity of their leverage terms. Both of these create the possibility of a liquidity demand. The fund manager only has the set of assets and liabilities in the fund to supply this needed cash. So for them asset liquidity modelling and funding liquidity are important, as are a full incorporation of the set of firm constraints on liquidity scenarios. And where it is unrealistic to fully model the constraints, to approximate them very conservatively.
Despite the seeming differences, both firms managing the possibility of liquidity mismatch are doing the same thing, namely being continually responsive to the balance between demands for cash with sources of cash.
In the next posting I look at the variance (and vol. of vol.) on the demand side of the 'liquidity mismatch' risk which firms of all kinds face.

Maya is a painter and a doll maker at the Northern Warehouse Artists' Cooperative in St. Paul, MN. She values a simple hand-made life that incorporates color, nature and beauty and imparts these elements into her work.
Color is a vehicle I use to view and integrate my response to what is happening in the world around me. I may wake up feeling like the subdued color pink or a lively spring green may inspire my mood on other days. When I paint, I enter the multi-layered passionate World of Red. My work invites the viewer to move into a space of transcendence and joy through the use of vibrant color, texture, collage and images that impart a sense of mystery and magic behind the mundane.
Artistic expression has enabled me to actively engage with the world around me and to connect with others through the telling of a story on canvas and in textiles. I find painting to be an uplifting, liberating, expressive, joyous and fun experience that I have shared with disabled adults and children in a teaching environment over the years. Dollmaking also calls forth a spiritual connection as I focus on the spiritual value each doll embodies.
I like to challenge the ideas presented in the media that the world is a hostile place to be in, and certainly, it is a challenging place to be in at times. Part of my teen and adult life has been spent living with the challenge of Epilepsy. In May of 2012 I moved into the Northern Warehouse Artists Cooperative in Lowertown, St. Paul, Minnesota and I have enjoyed being immersed in a supportive creative community that is inspiring me in so many ways.
A word about Trees: I like to include some aspect of trees in my work as they are symbols of strength and growth, of Divine mystery and Earth consciousness joining in one ecstatic dance of Life. I love the concept and image of the Tree of Life and find there are so many layers of this image in daily life.

It's a very emotive response they illicit that is hard for me to put into words. As a visual and emotional person, I love it when art of any kind gives me an emotional response.
Katya de Grunwald's work has been featured in top publications such as; Elle Decoration, Red, Martha Stewart Living, House and Garden. I have to admit that I recently found out about her work, but I'm so glad I did.

"Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing" – Benjamin Franklin
Being a writer is not everybody's cup of tea. It's a god given talent which only a selected number of people are blessed with. The process of expressing your ideas, opinions and perspective through words itself is an art. Being a writer is not an easy task.it requires guts to be one as you are going to face rejections more than anyone else could face. Though people admire writers not many know about the struggles a writer goes through to put forward his masterpiece. The amount of hard work and perseverance it takes a writer to get his or her feelings into words is unimaginable. Being a writer I would like to share a few things about the life of a writer. If you are a reader try reading this article because you can only understand the other side of a story when you step into their shoes. And if you are a writer, read it and feel good on knowing that there are other writers who share your same story. Either way this is going to make you think…
1. Catching up with the deadline.
A writer cannot always produce their best piece of work within the given date. The last day is hell near and you're still stuck with the first paragraph. You always begin with a positive plan, calculate the number of days left and also the time it will take to finish writing an article but these calculations prove to be of no use as you are bound to start with your work only at the last possible moment.
2. Sticking to the word limit.
The word count never really helps. When you're asked to write a lengthy article you just don't have anything to write about and on the other hand when you are supposed to write a short essay you end up writing 2-3 pages. It still stands undoubtedly to be a major problem for many writers. This struggle is always going to remain inevitable.
3. You're still thinking!
You want to write about something and you also have ideas brimming inside your head but you're still thinking, thinking and thinking because you really can't figure out how to put words together and start. Though writers boast about their ability to express their feelings on anything and everything through words, this ability never comes to use when they really need it.
4. You write at your own ease.
I had my weekends completely free and when I could have written something, not even a single thought came to me. The other day my math's lecture was going on and my teacher was talking about 'calculus' the most important topic of the semester!! Surprisingly an amazing idea comes to me and I am sorry I can't help it. So I just flipped the pages of my notebook to the last and started writing my new article. Time, resources and ideas are not the only things that matter, writers can only produce their best piece of work when they have the mood to write. And I guess this explains the very fact that, "writers write at their own ease".
5. Rewriting the whole stuff.
You just finished writing an article. You read and you re-read and if you're not happy and satisfied with your work, you start all over again! Sometimes it's just too hard to believe that in order to change one sentence or perhaps one paragraph, few writers end up re-writing the whole thing. As far as a writer is concerned the quality of his or content matters more than the time it took to produce it.
6. Procrastination!
You have a whole lot of work to do, but you keep on postponing thinking that you still have so many days left. Which indeed is a very bad habit. If you are a writer and if this is your story, trust me you are incorrigible.
7. You put your heart and soul into your work.
Even if it's a small poem or a prose you don't really write out of need. You write with all your heart and all your soul. Nobody can stop you from writing your heart out and penning down your emotions. After all your pen is your most powerful weapon, it is mightier than a sword. Anything worth having is worth fighting for and a writer will stand against all odds and fight the world for his or her love for writing.
8. I wanna quit! But yet I carry on.
Often it becomes a headache and you are standing on the verge of having a nervous breakdown. You might even take a break in between but no matter what happens you come back and continue writing because it's an inseparable part of your life. Calling it 'quit' is definitely not on the cards. It's just a feeling that occupies a writers mind for the time being but the same feeling acts like a motivation to bounce back with an unbeatable energy. Writing is an inseparable part of a writer's life.
9. It's overwhelming when someone appreciates your work.
All writers want readers. At times they don't get the expected response but even if one person tends to love what they wrote and if that makes him or her think then there's no other greater joy in a writer's life. At that moment you feel infinite. Writers love to make their readers undergo a change in their perspective. Although they don't admit it, writers love criticism their critics are their biggest source of motivation. Anyone can make false praises but only the ones with a creative mind can raise questions. So writers are all open to criticism. Their critics contribute to their betterment and growth.
10. Being remembered as a writer would mean the whole world to you.
Like all humans want to leave their footsteps before they leave the earth. All those who write wants to be remembered for his/her works. It would mean the whole world to them if they are recalled by people as a writer. Even if a writer dies his works do live. The purpose of a writer's life is to be remembered even after his death. Consider yourself lucky if you are in the company of a writer because they not only leave a powerful impact on others but also make sure that the people who inspired and motivated them to write will always be acknowledged. To put it in simple If a writer falls in love with you, you will never die.

Robert Mostyn – Former Chair of TiK
In June I wrote how important it is for us to take sustainability as a personal matter. In this article I am going to write about a system that I have been working on for over 13 years that enables individuals to assess, on a day-by-day basis, whether they are living sustainably or not. (The last phase of this project had EU funding and included Nottingham Trent University and Boots the chemists as well as several European organisations among the partners.)
Imagine going into a store like you do now – a supermarket, a restaurant, a department store or a newsagent. You make your purchase as usual but the only thing that's different is you present your "myEcoCost" card when you pay. That is all you have to do to obtain an ecological cost for your purchase, no matter how large or small it is. This small but familiar gesture is all it will take to unlock a whole new way of looking at the world.
What will happen behind the scenes is a whole network of computers will have calculated an ecological cost – the ecoCost – of products as each business has contributed to the manufacture of that product. What distinguishes this method is that an ecoCost is not just calculated once for a product, it is calculated each time the product, or batch of the product, is made. This represents a breakthrough in ecological accounting!
N.B.: The ecoCost of a product is not expressed in monetary terms. It is expressed in physical terms – the mass of steel, acid, alkali, carbon dioxide and the myriad of other materials that contribute to a product's physical existence. Even energy! Electricity which burns natural gas and produces CO2 can be converted into a physical ecoCost per kilowatt. If you already have a solar array, you will get "invisible" energy that is not incurred from your electricity supplier. In the future though, the ecoCost of the solar panels will be a capital item whose ecoCost will be spread over 15-20 years (not one big ecoCost hit in a single month).
How do we make sense of all this? The ecoCost of a product will be simplified to a number of "indicators". Examples of indicators are the:
- material footprint (the total amount of materials involved in getting the product to you);
- carbon footprint (the total of all greenhouse gasses emitted in getting the product to you);
- water footprint (the total quantity of fresh water taken to get the product to you).
The ecoCost information for each product you buy, including your utilities such as water, gas and electricity, will be downloaded to your computer. From there the computer will add everything up and display the impact of your lifestyle from different angles (carbon, materials, water).
These new figures on their own are not enough though. Something needs to be added to make sense of all this. What also needs to be provided is a figure that represents a sustainable budget. Just as businesses prepare sales targets and budgets and they regularly compare their actual spend to the budget, you will be able to look at the actual ecoCost of your lifestyle and compare it to a sustainable budget. This way you will become aware of whether you are living sustainably or not – on a day-by-day basis!
This puts your footprint at your fingertips.
Remember the point I made previously that if everyone on earth led a typical British lifestyle, we would need 3 planets to sustain us? What can you do with your EcoCost knowledge? Will you use it to reduce the impact of your lifestyle from 3 planets down to 1? This system releases a new knowledge into life for humans on earth. It connects us as individuals to nature and planetary boundaries, removing the "I am separate from everything else" delusion. Our financial system has been very powerful in engaging human energy through industrial activity to produce warm homes, personal mobility devices (cars) and cheap food – very desirable outcomes if you live in those societies – without any account of the environment.
This solution introduces ecology into the economy.
Consider your commute to work. You look at your mobile phone and it says 23% of your daily budget has been spent. This is because the eco-Invoice for your gas usage this month is spread across each day of the month. You buy a coffee and croissant at the station café and swipe your ecoCost card. Within minutes your phone will display 27% of your daily spend. This is how sensitive the myEcoCost system will be. In the ambition towards sustainability, wouldn't this be useful to know? You already know to reduce, re-use and recycle… but have you ever wondered by how much? myEcoCost tells you when enough is enough.
Justifying eco-investments in the home can be difficult to rationalise if you only have a financial framework to consider. The incentives to install solar cells to generate electricity were propped up with a feed-in-tariff which is a financial instrument. This feed-in-tariff is now over. There is no more financial inducement to install solar cells. But we have so much further to go! Will that be the end of micro-electricity generation? It shouldn't be… but it's difficult when we view the world through financial eyes only. We need a new metric! And myEcoCost will help provide that.
Following on from my previous article where I illustrated how millions of personal decisions (starting with our own) are more influential than political decisions, our planet will only become sustainable when there are billions of sustainable lifestyles.
This is a decision that no one else can make for you. You are the key. myEcoCost will allow you to make buying choices with the planet in mind. The technology is only at proof-of-concept stage. It will take a few more years of funding to develop the software to a state where it can be licensed to businesses.
Although you cannot utilise myEcoCost yet, one thing you can do is co-fund it. A public-subscription business model will become available, where you can contribute to its development on a monthly basis. You'll have to lookup myecocost.org for further information.
Regardless of what the politicians or media are telling us… It all starts here… Now!

Part-time workers are those working fewer than 35 hours per week. Of the 113 million wage and salary workers in the labor force, only 17 percent are classified as part time. Four of five part-time workers choose to work part-time rather than full-time. The 3.8 million involuntary part-time workers constitute only 3.4 percent of the work force. Part-time employment is not on the rise. Most part-time workers are not responsible for supporting a family because they are members of families with two or more workers. Seven in 10 part-time workers have family incomes of more than twice the poverty level, and 1 in 3 have family incomes exceeding four times the poverty level. The racial and ethnic breakdown of the part-time work force closely resembles that of the entire labor force. Part-time work is concentrated within three demographic groups--teenagers, senior citizens, and females. More than one-third of all part-time workers are employed in the retail trade sector of the economy, where an uneven workflow creates rush hours when more employees are needed for short periods of time. One-third work in other service occupations where job structure necessitates hiring part-time workers. In many instances, part-time workers are not doing the same job as full-time workers, and, therefore wage-rate comparisons based on number of hours worked are meaningless. Seventy-four percent are covered by health insurance. The majority work for small businesses. (YLB)

Analysis of Vapour Compression Refrigeration System Using Matrix Heat Exchanger
Author Name:
Chetan Papade
ABSTRACT Power utilization is a key fear in vapor compression refrigeration system .The objective of this research paper is to study the performance of a vapour compression refrigeration system with and without a matrix heat exchanger. As this research aims to augmentation of performance of refrigeration system by subcooling method with matrix heat exchanger, matrix heat exchanger is considered by allowing for some design parameter. Matrix heat exchanger is of counter flow type, by one side liquid refrigerant from condenser flow and from other side water from the evaporator is circulated. In this research work matrix heat exchanger is connected to VCR system after condenser. Performance analysis is done. The testing is done on VCR system using R-134a as a refrigerant. The performance of VCR system is compared with and without matrix heat exchanger for unlike loads. The results show that performance of VCR system is improved using matrix heat exchanger. The system works safely and normally. It is found that theoretical C.O.P of the system with matrix heat exchanger increases by 13.68% (average) and actual C.O.P also increases by 3.14% (average). Keywords – Vapour compression system, Coefficient of performance, Matrix heat exchanger, Power consumption

It's been a while since my last post- my sincere apologies. I got so busy for a while and then went on vacation from work (woo-hoo!!!). I went to NYC to embark on a 8 day Carnival cruise to Puerto Rico, St. Thomas (U.S. Virgin Islands) & Grand Turk (Turks & Caicos).
It cost US$557 when I booked 1.5 months prior- with all the taxes and travel insurance etc. Now that's a great deal, I think, for 8 days food & board as well as you get to visit three different countries. Imagine if you were to visit each of these countries individually, just the airfare is more than what I paid. Even worse if you have to stay at a hotel.
|We got to Grand Turk & another Carnival ship was docked
|Docked in Puerto Rico
Another advantage with cruises is that you get to visit countries and kind of 'sample' them to see whether or not it would be a place you would travel to. Now I don't really have to go back to Grand Turk. To me they have nothing on Jamaica, except a stronger foreign exchange rate which would be better for persons earning US dollars (so come to Jamaica!!! your US dollar will stretch even more ^_^). Imagine if I had paid for airfare and hotel to visit there - I'd be a little disappointed and feel like I wasted my money.

It's so funny, some times it takes you not having what you are used to to appreciate what you do have. That's how I felt about Jamaica, my homeland. I've been to Mexico, Bahamas, Cayman, Puerto Rico, St. Thomas & Turks & Caicos and believe me I love my country. We take so much for granted but when you don't have it, it makes you appreciate things a lot more. I LOVE JAMAICA!!!!
Next time I'll take a shorter cruise from Florida, that way it's less days at sea. It took three days to get to Puerto Rico (our first stop) and I got sea sick along the way.
Carnival is great. The food was good but the service was excellente!!!!!. It was about 3,006 guests and 1000 staff. The ship was spic and span. There are sooooo many activities and were they on time.

Greetings, I am Project Predacon, monitor of the Turok Wiki. Welcome! If you need to message me, you've come to the right place. Just message me below, and I'll be sure to respond as soon as I can. Cheers, loves.
Hello. Hope you doing well.
So yeah, Just want it to know why were the images i upload it for the Dimetrodon Mech were deleted?Loading editor
- View all 8 replies
Well, I haven't deleted them personally, and don't know which ones you speak of. Can you quickly link me them?Loading editor
Hmm, weird. It's listed as housekeeping, so, not maliciously deleted. I don't know what housekeeping would refer to, given it's nebulous use. So I'd ask lm about it personally.Loading editor
Alrighty. Thanks.Loading editor
Something else, is it safe for me to keep uploading images without the worry it might get deleted? I know I'm a bit excessive when it comes uploading for my favorite characters. Just want to be sure.
I don't know if I discuss this before with you the admins that uploading 24 images per subject is a fair amount. You might ask why such amount, the reason is that there is no other place to find high quality images for the Turok franchise as a whole. With all due respect I would like you admins to let me keep doing what I'm doing. Thanks again.
Anyways I don't want sound bossy, when you guys have time to spare would you like too help me upload images ya know to mix things up. a 1280×720 resolution will due.
Didn't expect to wrote this much but then again I must ask, is there any request you have? Maybe something I can be help with? Something I must re-visit pages in need of my attention?Loading editor
Can you add this enemies on the enemy list please. I do not know how to edit templates. Thanks!

I was young but I remeber seeing short videos of Joshua and Berry in College online, I dont remember what web site but they were cool. Do yall know where to find these videos?Loading editor
I have no idea personally as to where I could find those videos (Never knew they existed). If I'd have to guess, they'd have probably been found at www.turok.com. One could probably skate back through the Wayback Machine to see.Loading editor
I only know of one video, but I'm not sure if it was the full thing. All of the links are dead and the YouTube channel I got it from took it down a while back. I've uploaded it for you to take a look at. Can you remember if there were any other videos besides this one?

Hey Predacon! I am back on the wiki after what seems like forever! I am happy to be back. Is there anything I can help with on the wiki?
Thanks!Loading editor
Nothing in specific, really. We're just basically cleaning up articles for now, no real overhauls to anything are occurring, and I'm going to assume most people are winding down for the Christmas time which is nearing, so we're kinda in limbo, currently. XPLoading editor
Haha well thanks! I am however going to continue my quest to give Turok Evolution complete level pages, since more than half of them are empty. I hope your Christmas Is awesome!Loading editor
Thanks, likewise on that. It's going good, thus far. Just put our tree up today. RIP.Loading editor
Haha mine went up the day after Thanksgiving! I'm glad it's going good!Loading editor

Hi Kelly! Still active, I see. :)
Just came by to say hi and ask how things are over there. Hope everything's well with you. The world seems to get crazier every day, but it's nice to be able to return to pockets of sanity... like this place.
Cheers!Loading editor
Things are generally fine, albeit slightly busy, dealing with some personal stuffs. I've been dipping in activity due to it. XP Hope to get back into it entirely, soon. Although, it certainly is good to see you here! Are you doing well? Do anything special recently?Loading editor
Yeah, doing pretty well, though nothing special is going on atm. I'm thinking about getting back into console gaming with some current-gen stuff - haven't done it since the GameCube days! *peeks from under the rock* Did I miss anything? >_<
Hope you can sort out those personal matters and get your online life back. :) Still playing Halo?Loading editor

I found this link that didn't have a page to it so I decided I ought to give it some sort of info on the subject and wow. Coding. I mean I just wanted to toss out a tiny tidbit but then, CODING strolled up and said, "Oh no no no you don't!" Hahaha, is there a simplier way to add in a new page? I played with the coverted species info box but after only a few minutes I realized I could actually really screw things up.Loading editor
Hello! Gonna ask what's probably a dumb question, but how are you trying to make the page?
(we're not set up to use the converted infoboxes; we are stubborn and steadfast in our ways =P )Loading editor
I did it through the covert of "Species Info Box". When I did this a wall of code presented itself and I have to say, I was intimidated. Just clicking on the red link to the Soul Gate, it didn't have a page so when I pursued making one and a list of covertable boxes showed up.
I can see why, that is something too big and complicated for me to handle.Loading editor
See if this helps:
When you click a red link, it should ask you what type of page you want to make. Select Blank Page. In a separate tab/window, go here and copy/paste the code that's under "Usage Instructions" into the blank page. Fill it out to your heart's content.
Feel free to ask any questions you may have.Loading editor
Sweet! I'll get to work!Loading editor

NOTE: Do not take this message the wrong way. I don't hate you or anything but there are some things I want to get off my chest. Sorry if I'm a bit childish or a jerk in this meassage.
This maybe my last message on this site so I what the say some things. I want the say thank you for all your help and friendship. It's been nicewhile it lasted but there and some things I would like to tell you before I'm gone. Before I say anything, I not 100% sure if Coyote Knight is the same user I'm talking about. The proof I have is that guy left a post saying something like "I'm done with life" on ever site he made an account including deleting all his videos on Youtube. I am not sure if this guy killed himself but if so I feel sorry. Some of this happened a while ago and it might seem childish of me use to of getting mad about this but all I want is answers. Here is what I want to know:
1. Why you decided to support with Coyote Knight when he deleted the enemy page I was working hard on?
2. How come you haven't changed the logo even if I made one that has the current (or at the time) Turok?
3. How came no one is focus on the current (or new DH comic Turok) and more focus on the one's from the past?
I was also going to talk about the Mayana is Genn even though I keep tell everyone that not true but I see some one fix that. At the time I didn't wanted to approach you with theses problems because for 1, to be honest I hated Coyote Knight for what he did and when he never replied back to my but it also felt that i was jealous of him. As time passed on, I didn't really care anymore and I think I started to like him more. For 2 and 3, I was leaving this site so I didn't really cared but when I came back I think I did. Right now, I'm just curious and I came back here because I wanted to apologize to some users and I don't really have and thing else to talk to you about. I'm sorry If I wasn't a better person at the time on this site. Befor I go, It wold be nice if you and other users can focus on the current or last series of turok. Well this is goodbye
P.s I'm not 100% sure about this but do you know if Coyote Knight is really dead or something else happen?Loading editor
1.) The page was probably unneeded or redundant. I literally have no remembrance as to what occurred then, so I can't accurately speak for it.
2.) I (personally) find the one now fits the current theme of the wiki itself, and the overarching theme of the logos in regards to the games. Bar that, nobody else has had/stated any issues with keeping it as is, or changing it.
3.) I'll assume that most of us don't have a lot of these comics, nor paid attention to them. I don't have them, and don't know where to get them. With that, this Wiki's never had a real "focus" in the first place.
4.) No, I don't know.Loading editor
1.) I can understand becuse was a long time ago
2.) I can see your point since Turok is more noticeable in the games and not the comic so it would make sense to have that logo but I believe the part that made me uneasy about it is
A. It showed a side character instead of Turok
B. Maybe I was still jealous of Coyote Knight because he made the logo and it got used
3.) Not trying to sound like a jerk or anything but it feels like I'm the only one that cares about the Turok franchise that the time becuse I use to buy the new Turok DH comics and put info on this site.
Well thanks for replying. I should of brought this up in the last message but I might came back later just the see what the other two user had to said to me and reply back if necessary. If you have anything else you would like to say to me now would be a time to say it because after I'm done with the other two users, I do not plan on coming back. Again Thank you for everything on this siteLoading editor
I don't see an issue with showcasing a side-character in this case, especially since it draws attention to the comic side of things, while the logo remains obviously game-centered. It's not that no one cares about the franchise either. I'm passionate about it, and love it to bits, but I just don't have the time, nor extra money to go searching for comics that are very much obscure and hard to find, where I'm located. The others may have similar issues.Loading editor
Hello! I'm going to step in and address a couple of things that were brought up. In no particular order:
1. I'm sorry to see that you're leaving. I might not have had the time to dedicate to keeping up with your writing projects, but I enjoyed seeing you around.
2. I fully intend to start work on the comics once I go through every page and both make sure the category switch-over was correctly executed and that the reference templates are updated to something more uniform (when my job allows me to actually get on here to do things). I'll be starting with the original Son of Stone, though, so Dark Horse's and Dynamite's respective reboots might take a while to get to. But they're coming! I swear!
3. You're welcome with the Genn/Mayana thing. I can sort of understand why someone may have thought that they were the same person, but it's wrong! So I fixed it. =P
4. Coyote Knight is, in fact, still alive. He just no longer posts here.Loading editor

Hello. I have noticed that there a few pages for characters from Turok (2008) on this Wiki that seem to conflict with the names used by the game, so I am now unsure which names are correct:
- This page - http://turok.wikia.com/wiki/Louis - seems to be unnecessary. There is no "Louis" in the game that I know of, but there is a Lewis, which is the character here (according to the name used in the game's files): http://turok.wikia.com/wiki/Lewis (This page was formerly titled Henderson.)
- This page - http://turok.wikia.com/wiki/Morris - is for a character named Morris. However, The character that the page describes is actually called Henderson, again according to the game's graphics/audio files.
I noticed that the Wikipedia article for Turok also uses the alternate names such as Morris...Loading editor
Well, if the game's files say Lewis and Henderson, then we go by that. I'll delete the other page, and rename the Morris article, alongside changing the templates. Thanks for the heads up! Never noticed this.Loading editor
Where did the name Morris come from then?Loading editor
No idea, but there's no Morris in the game's files.Loading editor

text: Thank God for my life. Please My Dear Friends I this is a testimony that I must share. My name is Mrs. Helen Verhoeven, I did not know that there is a fair Lender on the internet. Here is my story, I 3 time a number of lenders I meet to apply for a loan online, I paid a lot of money to try to get them a loan, they were no more able to grant me a loan and they all scammed me and took my money. But two weeks ago I was very much in need of a loan to pay off my debt and improve my business, so I have a friend of mine sent me a pastor whose online name is Kelly Walter who I contacted and he helped me out. At first I was afraid to do business with him because he was also on the Internet, but I decided to trust him because he's my friend also helped with a loan. So I was registered to his business and he took all my details and granted me a loan of $ 20,000 that I asked. I am very happy now that I have a loan and also found an honest lender. Please accept my country people, I will advise to apply to him if you need are in need of loans. Loan you all I promise to share this testimony and also promote his company after receiving the loan from him, which I did. Here is Tim email: [email protected]

Namib Desert spectacular scenery
Africa Namib Desert on the Atlantic Ocean coastline of the African Country Namibia means vast place.
Namib desert is an old volcanic crater where fog is regularly seen. Namib desert sands and the Atlantic Ocean coastline makes the Namib the only coastal desert in the world that includes extensive sand dune fields influenced by fog.
Explore and Understand Africa Through Her Food and Culture
Fog on the Namib Desert is the primary source of water creating a unique environment in which numerous invertebrates, reptiles and animals adapt to an ever-changing climate.
The huge Messum crater was possibly created by a meteor millions of years ago reveals geologic clues linking this area to Brazil prior to the continental drift. The crater was named after Captain W. Messum, an explorer of Southern Africa until around 1849.
The Namib Desert is a narrow plain about 40-102 miles or 65-165 km wide and runs the entire length of the 994 mile or 1,600 km Atlantic coastline.
The icy, north flowing Benguela Current and high pressure atmospheric conditions are responsible for the extremely low rainfall and contribute to the regular occurrence of fog along the coast.
The cold Benguela current originates in the Antarctic regions and carries dense cold polar water up the Southern African West coast.
The desert plain takes two forms: extensive sand seas, including the highest dunes in the world 984 feet or 300 meters and stony deserts.
Vast stretches of this plain are almost bare with no vegetation, except in the south, where there is a light cover of low succulent shrubs and lichens sustained by fog. Unlike the Namib, the Kalahari Desert of eastern Namibia is well vegetated, despite its deep sands and absence of surface water. These sands are often in the form of parallel stabilized fossil dunes.

Newt Gingrich stumbled badly when he complained about the negative ads being run against him in Iowa and asked Mitt Romney to get them taken off the air. As Rich Lowry reminds us, a campaign is probably not in a good place when a candidate whines about process. And it was definitely a smart move for Mitt Romney to playfully rub salt in the wound by reminding Gingrich that it can get hot in the political kitchen.
Tonight, Gingrich stopped the whining and got back on his feet when he did what he probably should have done in the first place and challenged Romney to a one-on-one 90 minute policy debate with no moderator. If Romney accepts, Gingrich will participate in a well-publicized free media event that plays to his strengths without other viable candidates cluttering the stage. If Romney declines, Gingrich can play the chicken card.
He should have taken this approach in the first place, but better late than never.

How Many Litter Boxes Should I Have?
Is one litter box for multiple cats enough? Generally not, many cats will not share a box with another cat. The rule of thumb is that you need 1.5 litter boxes per cat. Meaning, if you have 2 cats you would need 3 litter boxes for them especially if they are indoor only. However, some cats don't mind sharing and if they eliminate outside regularly then having only 2 litter boxes for your 2 cats could work for them.
But why do only two cats need almost three litter boxes? That's because cats are notoriously territorial. And like humans, they like to "go" in places that they feel safe, clean and somewhere that is there own. After all, would you want to go in a dirty bathroom after your siblings day in and day out?
How to solve litter box issues:
- Observe your cats closely, and if you notice a cat avoiding the box, a cat becoming dominant over the box, or that their litter is getting dirty faster than you can keep it clean, you may need to add more litter boxes.
- Clean a litter box more often if you have more than one cat using it.
- Use high quality clumping litter that keeps the boxes clean even after you've scooped it for a while – this becomes especially important when two cats are using the same box.
- Use enough litter in each box (maintain 2-3 inches in height). We suggest keeping a bag of litter by each box and adding a bit after each time you scoop the box.
- Don't try to counteract an overused and stinky litter box by using litter with a chemical fragrance, or by using additives. That will only mask the smell for you, and not take care of the situation for your cats. If a litter box is smelling and you are using high quality litter, one of the following things will help instead: Clean the boxes more often, maintain at least 2-3 inches of litter height in the box, or add another litter box to the mix.
If you are reluctant to add another litter box, just remember, adding a litter box isn't necessarily much more work for you. You'll still be scooping the same amount, and each box will be less soiled, making the task that much easier. You'll need more litter initially, but you'll need it less often.
We want our cats to be happy and comfortable in our homes. That includes their litter box, one of the most sensitive and vulnerable places for most animals. It's important for our cats to have a place of their own when it comes to where to "go."
Do you have several cats? How many litter boxes do you have?
