What is the Camellia Flower?
Alright, well in the Willamette Valley area of Oregon anyway, the cold snap has pretty much passed for this year. While we may still get a few more cold days inland of the coast, pretty much, the really cold weather for this Winter has passed. Of course, as soon as I say that, we'll get an extended cold weather snap. May even still get some snow? But now we can start thinking about the warmer days ahead. Plus, the days are getting longer too – just the other day I stuck my head out the door at 5pm and celebrated that it's still actually daylight at 5pm here. As you can tell, I like when it gets warmer.You might want to start looking closely at the outdoor plants in your neighborhood. You'll see some tiny buds beginning their short blossom period. Fruit trees will have tiny little buds on them. Rhododendron plants will have large size buds on them.

Autumn Trees
I am absolutely bummed that not a single person has responded to my offer for creating Fall Portraits! Please see offer by visit this link – Lunchtime Photo Sessions. Well actually, one person responded saying it was a good idea, making it seem like she might be interested. I contacted her with more details but I never heard back regarding. I'm absolutely devastated about this missed opportunity, and the missed opportunity to work with others to find some great images during this Autumn Season. I mean, I absolutely love conducting photo sessions, but I seem to never get the opportunity.
Fact is, I'm not getting very much response at all regarding any of the blogs I post? I'm really trying to figure out where to go from here. Any feedback would be appreciated? I mean, here on WordPress, from other WordPress members, I receive a small number of likes on my posts, but nobody ever visits? The total number of visits to my blog on a daily basis averages around 10. The average number of "likes" I receive could be somewhere around twice that. And, nobody ever "Shares" my blog posts. I'm trying to figure out how one can like a post if they've never been there to see the post? Maybe WordPress isn't the best place to facilitate a blog? I'm not sure? My blog just seems to have gotten lost in the WordPress fodder.
I'm convinced that I'm a fairly decent photographer, definitely not the best out there in the World, but aren't I better than to be subjected to an average of 10 viewers per day? Any feedback that can be given that could shed some insight would be greatly appreciated. Would love to become a featured blog on WordPress, but I guess the chance of that happening are fairly slim?
Well, that's my rant for the day! These days I'm outdoor finding images of Autumn. In my travels I've created some pretty interesting images of trees and leafs changing colors. Today I want to feature some trees I've come across. The images above are of a Paperbark Maple Tree, a Red Oak Tree, and a Birch Tree. Hope you enjoy, sorry for my rant, and please share.
Photographer Walks by Sugar Maple Tree in Autumn
This is what I found when I walked by a Sugar Maple Tree this morning. It was quite a mesmerizing experience to me. Oh My, the red colors. Up close, and far away, this tree produces some electrifying red tones, striking from just about every angle. I hope you like this weeks selection of images, in celebration of Autumn 2015.
I hope you like? Please remember to share with your friends.
Super Blood Moon Eclipse
Okay, here's my little contribution to the plethora of Super Blood Moon Eclipse images out in the World today! What a phenomenal event, everyone wanted to see it. I visited Rocky Butte to witness this event and it seemed like everyone in Portland had the same idea. Fortunately I rode my bike because if I had driven with all that traffic? Well, let's just say I'm glad I didn't. I left early and I'm sure there were many folks who never got to see the event because they were stuck in their cars trying to get up, and/or down that hill. The first two images in this post were taken from Rocky Butte, the last, darker image, was created after I got back home, just before the event was over. I hope you like? While I'm sure these images aren't the best out in the World today, but if you're so inclined, remember to spread a little love in the World and share these images with your friends by sending them a link to this blog post. I could sure use the exposure, pun intended.
Cherry Parfait Unity Rose
Lustful Longing
by Jennifer Benfer
Tell me what I'd have to change. Who would I have to be
To slip into your arms; for you to make sweet love to me.
Must I climb the highest cliff; swim along the ocean floor
Crawl over broken glass – would you demand that I do more?
Could you take me as I am, with my issues and my flaws
Pull me to your chest without a hesitation or a pause?
Slide your hungry tongue between my parted lips.
Run your anxious fingers along my quivering hips.
Wrap me in your passion, expose your every need.
Press your steamy lips to mine, every secret freed.
Sprinkle your tears across my cheek, confess every desire
Moan my name, call me yours, and set my soul on fire.
Need me more with every breath that slips into your chest,
Please me nightly, miss me daily, never compare me with the rest.
Grip my wrists; look in my eyes, and say the words I long to hear
Kiss me roughly, and weep my name, forever hold me dear.
Do I ask for wishes that could never quite come true?
Is my sin, my greatest fault, that I can't stop loving you?
Red Rose Bud
I wanted to present one more Red Rose Bud in this month long celebration of the rose flower during this month of June. The Red Rose flower is probably the most popular rose flower, or even flower in existence. It's usually given to loved ones to emphasis that love for another person. This flower grows very expensive around Valentines day in February and Mother's Day in May. I don't remember what specific variety of red rose this flower is, but it sure it beautiful. Don't you agree? Leave a comment below and please remember to share.
Dream Come True Rose
The Dream Come True Rose came to fruition as recently as 2008. It was cultivated by Dr. John Pottschmidt and it was a lifelong passion for him to come up with a rose that won the AARP award. Achieving that passion in 2008 with the rose featured today on this blog. It's petals start out in a blaze of yellow only to be highlighted at the tips with a tinge of ruby red. Creating a beautiful dreamy look to it.
Hope you like this rose too? Be sure to share it with your connections.

Thoughts Of You
by Travis
How many times have I thought of you
And the many things I'd like to do.
I sleep at night with you on my mind,
One night with you, would be just fine.
Your white robe is what I see,
I wonder, wonder, how it would be.
If I could touch your lips with mine,
The thought of this is so divine.
I want to see you without that robe,
Your body to touch, caress, and probe.
I'd lay you down, your body to admire,
One look at you, sets my soul on fire.
I want to feel you, touch, and kiss,
send you into . . . . heavenly bliss,
I want you, need you, feel my desire,
Me inside you, I would never tire.
I could make love to you all night long,
It would feel so good, it couldn't be wrong,
These are my thoughts, what I fantasize,
You're all too perfect in this man's eyes.
Mullard Jubilee Red Rose
The Mullard Jubilee Red Rose is also called the Electron Rose. In Europe the Mullard Electronics Company bought the naming right for this rose after it was first cultivated in the 1970s. The rose went on to win just about every award for a rose that exists. Probably bring massive exposure for this company. 10,000 pounds for naming rights at the time is was probably a great investment for the company. However, there appears to not be a company named such no longer. It was a British company that had a long standing relation with the Dutch Philips Company. Philips is now a massive technology company headquartered in Amsterdam, but it appears that Mullard is no longer in existence? Rumor has it that Russian Company may have brought back the Mullard brand for use in guitar amplifiers, but not real sure about that?
But I digress… Back to this wonderful red colored rose that we're featuring today. Some have a white stripe down the center of the petal but they have a predominate red color to them. The fragrance in these rose is very strong and elixir-like. Enjoy.
Please share…
Scentimental Rose Splendor
Today I want to present a little Scentimental Rose Splendor in our continue month long feature of the rose flower. Roses are definitely in bloom at this time of year and probably one of the most eye-catching varieties of the rose in the Scentimental Rose. It's splattering of red and white makes it look like a peppermint candy. But the scent this rose gives off is where this rose is really at. So sweet like nectar. This rose is an all American rose, being the first stripped rose to win the All American Rose Award. It was developed in the US by Tim Caruth and introduced to the world in 1997.
Thanks for stopping by, remember sharing is always fun.
Rose Macro II
His Paradise
by Amanda D Besserer
Bring me to his paradise
a feeling of within,
naked to his loving eyes
caressing me with sin
I long to feel his softest kiss
upon my dampened skin
Bring me to his paradise,
and let our bodies meet
the trickle of the rain outside
would shower us with heat,
I wish to be his fantasy
and make our love complete.
Rose Macro I
by Tina K
Where are you going, where have you been?
My dear, close, and quiet friend,
As we sit in the soft springtime Saturday's end
Taking comfort in each other once again.
Tell me your stories and I'll tell you mine;
And so we will pass a few hours time
With the quaint and the comic and even sublime –
Silently searching for that elusive sign.
We'll fashion the future and polish the past,
Allowing the memories to amass;
While the grains of sand slip through the glass
'Til a tranquil lull pervades at last.
Conversation fades with the eve's golden light,
We cannot go on, try though we might;
So you gather me an embrace so tight,
And we wistfully, longingly say goodnight.
Broadway Tea Rose
Today's feature rose is the Broadway Tea Rose, developed by Anthony Perry in 1984. It's colorful red and yellow petals are ideal for cutting and display in a very fragrant bouquet. But, be careful with this rose, it's sturdy stem is lined with woody thorns. It's bite! This image is taken with a bud in the foreground and a fully matured Broadway Rose in the out of focus background area.
Enjoy today's rose, day 3 in our celebration of the rose during the month of June. Be sure to come back tomorrow are another great image. And share this post with your connections.
All That Jazz Rose
Contributing to this blog's continued celebration of the Rose Flower during this month of June in 2015, I want to present to you a decent image of the All That Jazz variety of Rose flower. Here she is in all her splendor. Ready for showtime, just as Bob Fosse would have liked.
Enjoy today's post, remember to share with your connections. And come back tomorrow for another beautiful rose flower.
A Rose by any Other
"The east is yellow as a daffodil.
Three steeples—three stark swarthy arms—are thrust
Up from the town. The gnarlèd poplars thrill
Down the long street in some keen salty gust—
Straight from the sea and all the sailing ships—
Turn white, black, white again, with noises sweet
And swift. Back to the night the last star slips.
High up the air is motionless, a sheet
Of light. The east grows yellower apace,
And trembles: then, once more, and suddenly,
The salt wind blows, and in that moment's space
Flame roofs, and poplar-tops, and steeples three;
From out the mist that wraps the river-ways,
The little boats, like torches, start ablaze."
by Lizette Woodworth Reese
Happy Mother's Day!

Calla Lilies in Winter!
These orange, yellow and red Calla Lilies are perfect for viewing on a cold, Winter day.
I haven't posted any flowers on this blog lately, and I was going through some of the best flowers that I found over the last year and found these Calla Lily images. These aren't GREAT images, but they are okay. I wish they were a little more in focus. But I've cleaned them up a little bit and hope they are as presentable as can be.
When I came across these Calla Lilies, I had never seen any color other than white. I guess there are all sorts of colors, and being a flower photographer, I can't wait to see different colors. These orange and red flowers are perfect to view on a Winter Day like today.
I hope you like, please share with your friends and connections.
Another Time for Winter
It's cold and rainy out in Portland, OR right now as I write this post. But it's not cold enough to freeze yet, at least in the lower elevations. We haven't seen much ice and snow yet this year, which is fine by me. But right now, the water drops hanging from the trees, reminds me of this Time for Winter post from last year.
These images might be daring just a bit? I don't know, maybe because they are somewhat minimal? There's not much to them, but do they say anything to you? I like the textures of the red icicles and the ice on the pond. The Three Berries image I just think is kind of cool, plus I like that the red ties the two red images together. Tell me what you think about it? I think I want to do a series of the icicles hanging from other colors?
That's it for this week! Please share this post with your friends.
Red Summer Zinnias and Dahlias
Well, I stand corrected in the naming of these flowers. The two red flowers in this collection with the bee flying around are actually Zinnias, while the middle yellow and red flower is a Dahlia (although now I'm second guessing myself?). Zinnias are native to the South in North America, with some varieties spreading into Mexico. They are usually found in the wild grasslands and grow with abandon under the Summer sun. Both Zinnias and Dahlia's are in full bloom this time of year in Portland! Everywhere I turn right now, I see these bright, and beautiful splashes of color. The Dahlia is probably my favorite flower. They create so many beautiful and enticing colors and designs. I found these beautiful Zinnias in a garden right down the street from where I live. The middle yellow and red flower I had to walk a little distance to get this image. But it was a walk well worth the trip. Help celebrate Zinnia and Dahlias this week by sharing this post with your friends and connections.
Dahlia's are typically native to Mexico and Central America, but of course these flowers can now be found in gardens all over the world. This flower is actually related to the Daisy, Sunflower, and chrysanthemum. There are at least 36 different species of Dahlias in existence. Being that dahlias are considered octoploids, whereas, they have 8 sets of chromosomes, when many other plants have only 2, this contributes to the great variety of dahlias found in gardens everywhere.

Super Sonico Drink Holder Gallery
Late last year, I completed a quick review of FuRyu's Super Sonico Drink Holder figure. But seeing as to how I did not have my usual setup nor gear, the photos did not come out exactly the way I wanted them to.
Seeing as how I am on a roll of Sonico figure galleries, I figured now would be a suitable time to put out another. Especially since I did promise an additional gallery at the end of the review.
Work has been increasingly busy over the past few weeks. As such, I have not been able to create content that I would ordinarily want to due to time constraints.
Part of me does feel bad by simply taking the easy way out and putting out a simple figure gallery.
But, I tell myself it is better to putting out no content at all especially when our policy our at Tiro Finale is to provide timely, daily content.
On top of that, it gives me an opportunity to practice my photography and experiment with several techniques and lighting manipulations.
I have yet to nail it but, I do feel as if I am getting closer to my goal.
While I make it a point to never blame my gear (instead choosing to fault the operator), I do find myself running into several hardware limitations ever so often.
For example, getting close-up macro shots have become decidedly difficult especially on smaller figures.
For a while now, I have been contemplating getting a new macro lens or a macro converter for my camera. But I always held back thinking I could work with my existing gear.
This year, I might finally cave in and get those new lenses. If I truly aim to elevated my photography game, adding more lenses to my repertoire can only serve to benefit me.
Of course, lenses do not come cheap which does make them a significant financial investment. Lucky for me, I am very diligent in caring for my gear.
All these Sonico galleries has sparked my interest in putting out a new review for her. The only question is, which Sonico figure should I pick? While I am very much leaning towards a prize figure, I have yet to figure out which one. Perhaps you could suggest something? Until then, thank you so much for viewing and have yourself a wonderful day ahead!

There are many ways of dispersing aromatic oils fragrance and utilizing their therapeutic properties, and most methods do not require any special equipment.
Steam inhalation is an excellent method for treating respiratory problems, cold and so forth, but should not be used by asthmatics. Add 6-12 drops to bowl of steaming hot water. Place a towel over your head and breathe deeply. This is also a great way of cleansing the face.
Therapeutic massage is the classic aromatherapy treatment, triggering the body's natural healing process by using lymphatic massage and essential oils to stimulate the flow of blood and lymph fluid. For massage use 1-3 per cent solution of essential oil to base.
In sauna add two drops of eucalyptus or pine oil per ½ pint (330ml) of water and throw over the coals to evaporate. These are great cleansers and detoxifiers.
Wax candles can be bought ready-impregnated with essential oils and are a delightful way of fragrancing a room. Or you can add a few drops of essential oil to an oil lamp for the same effect.
Choose your preferred essential oil and get its pleasure and versatility.

Importance of Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy is a comprehensive and considered useful tool for solving some of the problems that people face. These issues may be physical and at times they maybe emotional, and therefore one needs to check them thoroughly and ensure they are carried out in the best manner possible. The person who treats such patients is called the hypnotherapist and uses a method known as hypnosis to deal with the problems that affect the clients who come to them.
There are some of the requirements that are needed for someone to be a qualified
, but they differ depending on the place you come from and how you are trained to do the work. They help the clients to solve some of the issues by hypnotizing them which could be a process carried out once and one gets back to normal. It is a method that is used to give the clients some control of their thoughts and therefore to lead to ensure that at the time they get the best results of the process when it is carried in their body.
is used to make the muscles relax and also change the perception of the brain in case of pain to reduce the intensity of the pain. This happens mainly when people are being affected by some chronic muscular pain, and it feels so much pain on them due to the perception in their mind. It also helps people in solving some of the emotional problems that they face, and therefore it is essential for people who are anxious or are met by anxiety, People with exam fears or even pain which causes people to be emotionally hurt. It is a useful method of helping people to solve some of the behaviors which are addictive to them such as overreacting in times when they are angry and also drinking a lot as a result of things that might be affecting them as well as sometimes smoking which becomes very much addictive with time.
In general, this method gives some complements to the medical therapy which most people knows but for this one you will not need to take the medicines or undergo the medical treatment. This method is rapid and efficient in solving the problems and therefore it is advisable for people to use the technique. It is a method that can work where other ways of dealing with the issues have failed. It is a very safe method with no reports of side effects on the body and that's why people are encouraged to get it whenever they have such problems.

Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of sitting in on a social media panel at Kellogg's Recruiter Day in order to provide the "student perspective." I'm not really familiar with Recruiter Day, but from my cursory experience, it seems like an annual event that allows the school to maintain strong ties and share ideas with companies eager to recruit Kelloggers (and honestly, who wouldn't be?). This particular panel covered the topic of how companies should utilize social media in their recruiting efforts. I was impressed with the number of folks that attended the panel and the companies that were represented.
Although I have written about the topic before, being asked to participate was what motivated me to write this recent post, which allowed me to collect my thoughts on the subject. I'm glad that I did, because I was joined by some heavy hitters: Kellogg's Director of Web Marketing & Social Media and a VP from LinkedIn, a professional networking site that I think all students should use.
My key takeaway from the panel was that companies (at least the ones present) know that they should be using social media, but they are still trying to determine the best way to take advantage of all of the tools that are available. I was glad to hear that they are taking it so seriously, and hopefully they came away with a few bits of useful information from us. It seems that we (the panelists) were all more or less on the same page, though I have to say the others were much better at verbalizing the positions. Here are some notable quotes, which I'm paraphrasing:
- Unleash your workforce - This was getting at the notion that companies should utilize social media's potential for connecting individuals and building relationships. We also discussed the value that authenticity (knowing that this is coming from an employee and not an HR department) adds on top of this.
- Understand the mode of the various tools - For example, if someone goes on Facebook, they are probably more interested in looking at pictures than hearing about the latest research report on emerging management trends in the BRIC countries. Use this understanding to place suitable content on each channel. Along the same lines, you probably aren't going to use LinkedIn to share photos with friends.
On a side note, I'm in the middle of locking down a place to live in Dallas over the summer. I put in an application with an apartment complex that is about 3 blocks away from BCG's office. Hopefully everything will go through without a problem, because according to this research study, the "daily activity most injurious to happiness is commuting." Basically, shorter commute time = more happiness.

The new school year is about to begin. Are you a teacher? A student? An administrator at a school? Each fall brings a rush of activity – buying new clothes and school supplies, preparing lesson plans, the excitement of the first day, seeing friends again, getting your class schedule. The busy-ness of a new year means challenges as well – learning new names, resuming (or building) study habits, discerning the class clown and grappling with getting the attention of those who already look bored, dealing with peer pressure and bullies, discovering which parents will be hard to deal with or non-existent.
Those students, teachers, and school administrators who stop by Shepherd King this coming Sunday (August 22) will receive a special blessing to kick off the new school year. We call this the "blessing of the book bags;" everyone going back to school is encouraged to bring his or her book bags to worship. During the service we'll ask school folks to come forward with their book bags and be blessed. Even though it's called the book bag blessing, we're really blessing the people.
Some people love school; others endure it. But either way, a word of blessing for the new year is appropriate; it reminds us that God goes with us into our daily world. Whether you're eating lunch with friends in the cafeteria, trying to find your locker, getting teased by someone you don't like, working to understand a math problem, or wishing that kid in the back would settle down… God is present. God roams the corridors of your school as much as any student or principal, staying nearby to encourage, to heal, to sustain us.
The same is true, of course, if you work at a factory or a shop, have an office in a high rise, or stay home to clean and cook. God is with you. If the day is stressful, if you have an important assignment, if you're lonely or sad - take a moment and talk to God, listen for God's guidance. Take a moment to remember that you are a child of God and that you are loved. Remember, too, that those around you are also children of God, loved by their creator. God is not distant or unconcerned, but is near at hand to help you fulfill your calling, accomplish your work.
The new school year is about to begin and we will be blessing the book bags this Sunday. Whether or not you are involved at school, join us for worship – 8:00 or 10:30 – and be blessed.
Pastor Kris

Take The Proper Weightlifting ApproachBuilding muscles is a matter of knowing what you're doing so that you can get the results you want. Before heading to the weight room, read this article. The tips below will give you some ideas about how to effectively build your muscles so that you don't waste time or energy on exercise routines that don't really work.
6 Tips for Optimizing Your Running for Weight Loss
Do you want to lose weight? Then give running a try! But the question is, what's the best way to go about achieving optimal weight loss? Running expert Sascha has several great tips for maximizing your training. 6 Tips for Optimizing Your Running for Weight Loss
Regardless of how frequent or intense your workout sessions are, if you are not eating sufficiently, your body will not have enough proteins to build muscle. It is therefore critical to eat meals often. You should strive to consume at least 20 grams of protein every three hours. In addition, it is more important to eat often rather than to eat large portions.
It is important to get a sufficient amount of sleep and rest after your workout sessions. A significant amount of muscle recovery and repair occurs while you are sleeping. Not getting an adequate amount of sleep can delay your results, and also be dangerous. Working out again without proper recuperation can cause injury or illness.
As you are working to develop muscle, do not count on the scale to tell you how you are doing. You must take the time to measure your body fat to find out how you are doing. If your weight it going up or remaining the same, it may be a sign that you are turning flabby fat into rock hard muscle.
In order to effectively build muscle, eating often is required. However, if you have a busy life, it can be difficult to find time to eat. Meal replacements are a great way to fulfill the need to eat if you do not have the time to prepare real meals. They provide a sufficient amount of protein and nutrients, and can also help you avoid eating unhealthy fast food alternatives.
At most, you need to complete between twenty-five and fifty reps for each body part, roughly two or three times a week to gain the most muscle mass. This is going to be very beneficial to serious lifters. If you strive to do more than this, you may be wasting your time because overdoing it can lessen the results that you see.
You want to keep pushing until your body reaches near failure. Failure is caused when your body will not allow you do go any further with your training because it is just too tired. When you start your session for the day, start heavy and lessen the amount of weight that you lift, so you can continue to lift even after your body is tired.
A 60 minute workout is the optimum length for maximum results. If your body is engaged for more than sixty minutes, then it will start to release cortisol. Cortisol blocks testosterone, which causes less efficiency during workouts. Keeping your workouts under an hour should provide optimal results.
As you become more experienced in working out, it's very important that you make sure to adjust the amount of weight you lift.

Last weekend, Pope Francis spent a day in Sarajevo, where he met with secular authorities, youth and representatives of different religions and where he powerfully spoke out against war and called for all to become "artisans of peace." In this post I would just like to share what to me where the highlights of that day.
Right at the start of the day, when addressing the authorities, Francis called for an opposition to those who promote violence and for a uniting of "different voices":
"In order to successfully oppose the barbarity of those who would make of every difference the occasion and pretext for further unspeakable violence, we need to recognize the fundamental values of human communities, values in the name of which we can and must cooperate, build and dialogue, pardon and grow; this will allow different voices to unite in creating a melody of sublime nobility and beauty, instead of the fanatical cries of hatred."Next, during mass at Sarajevo's Koševo Stadium he spoke about how one works for peace in practice:
"So how does one do this, how do we build peace? The prophet Isaiah reminds us succinctly: "The effect of righteousness will be peace" (32:17). Opus justitiae pax ("the work of justice is peace"), from the Vulgate version of Scripture, has become a famous motto, even adopted prophetically by Pope Pius XII. Peace is a work of justice. Here too: not a justice proclaimed, imagined, planned... but rather a justice put into practice, lived out. The Gospel teaches us that the ultimate fulfilment of justice is love: "You shall love your neighbour as yourself" (Mt 22:39; Rm 13:9). When, by the grace of God, we truly follow this commandment, how things change! Because we ourselves change! Those whom I looked upon as my enemy really have the same face as I do, the same heart, the same soul. We have the same Father in heaven. True justice, then, is doing to others what I would want them to do to me, to my people (cf. Mt 7:12).Following the mass, and after hearing the testimonies of priests and religious who were tortured during the Bosnian war, Pope Francis spoke off-the-cuff instead of following his prepared text:
Saint Paul, in the second reading, shows us the attitude needed to make peace: "Put on then... compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness and patience, forbearing one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive" (Col 3:12-13)."
"Another thing that struck me in their talks was mention of the one hundred and twenty days spent in the concentration camp. How many times the spirit of the world makes us forget our ancestors, the sufferings of our forebears! Those days are counted, not in days, but by the minute, because every minute, every hour is torture. To live together like this, dirty, with no food or water, in the heat and cold – and for a long time! And we, who complain when we have a toothache, or who want to have a television in our comfortable rooms, or who whisper behind the back of our Superior when the meals are not so good… Do not forget, I beg of you, the witness of your ancestors. Think of how much these persons have suffered; think of the six litres of blood that this priest had to receive – he, the first one who spoke – in order to survive. Conform your lives worthily to the Cross of Christ.From the meeting with representatives of different religions and Christian denominations, where Pope Francis agains spoke about dialogue and peace, what struck me was the prayer he said there together by Muslim, Jewish and Christian faithful:
Worldly sisters, priests, bishops, and seminarians are a caricature, and are of no use to the Church. They do not remember the martyrs. They have lost the memory of Jesus Christ crucified, our only glory.
Another thing that comes to mind is the story of the soldier who gave a pear to the Sister; and that Muslim woman who now lives in America, who brought something to eat… We are all brothers and sisters. Even the cruel man has thought… well, I don't know what he thought, but he felt the Holy Spirit in his heart and perhaps he thought of his mother and said, "Have this pear and say nothing to anyone". And the Muslim woman who reached out beyond her own religious tradition: she loved. She believed in God and she did good.
Look for the good of everyone. Each person has potential, the seed of goodness. We are all children of God."
"Almighty and eternal God,Next, Pope Francis met with young people, where he again put his prepared speech aside and answered their questions instead, where two fragments stood out for me:
good and merciful Father;
Creator of heaven and earth, of all that is visible and invisible;
God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob,
King and Lord of the past, of the present and of the future;
sole judge of every man and woman,
who reward your faithful with eternal glory!
We, the descendants of Abraham according to our faith in you, the one God,
Jews, Christians and Muslims,
humbly stand before you
and with trust we pray to you
for this country, Bosnia and Herzegovina,
that men and women, followers of different religions, nations and cultures
may live here in peace and harmony.
We pray to you, O Father,
that it may be so in every country of the world!
Strengthen in each of us faith and hope,
mutual respect and sincere love
for all of our brothers and sisters.
Grant that we may dedicate ourselves
courageously to building a just society,
to being men and women of good will,
filled with mutual understanding and forgiveness,
patient artisans of dialogue and peace.
May each of our thoughts, words and actions
be in harmony with your holy will.
May everything be to your glory and honour and for our salvation.
Praise and eternal glory to you, our God!
"It is not a case of "them and us", but rather of "we". We want to be "us", to not destroy our homeland, to not ruin our country. You are a Muslim, you are a Jew, you are Orthodox, you are Catholic… but we are "us". This is how to make peace.Finally, as is now customary with Pope Francis' trips abroad, there was a press conference during the flight back. There, one of the journalists asked him to elaborate on what he meant by referring to world leaders who speak openly of peace while selling weapons, to which he replied:
Everyone speaks of peace: some world leaders speak of peace, and say beautiful things about peace, but behind it all they still sell weapons. From you, I expect honesty, coherence between what you think, what you feel and what you do: these three things together. The contrary is called hypocrisy.
Be united, build bridges, but also let yourselves cross the bridges that you build. This is brotherhood."
"Sure: there's always hypocrisy! Thus I said that it is not enough just to talk about peace, one must also work for peace! And the one who only talks about peace but doesn't work for it is contradicts himself; and the one who speaks of peace while promoting war, for example, through the selling of weapon, is a hypocrite. It's that simple…"At the end of the press conference, a French journalist jumped in to ask the pope about whether he would come to France in spite of problems with the French government, which may have been a reference to the stand-off about the candidate they put forward as ambassador to the Vatican, who is gay. After reassuring the journalist that he would come to France, Pope Francis said what was my favorite line of the whole trip:
"As for problems: little problems are not problems!"

This DIY Guide shows you how to hang artwork, person shelves or shelving units, closet organizers, cabinets, curio instances, media storage, speakers, flat screen tvs, kitchen cabinets, heavy mirrors and much more. Apartment Therapy showcases this project along with several more creative tips you may possibly want to check out making use of paper doilies. This 1 along with the following other folks have been from thrift retailers as either mirrors or ugly duckling images. Some of these tips I have not across prior to and I might use them quickly sufficient for my property. If you can not or don't want to hang photos, you could opt for placing images on a ledge, spacing them apart evenly and staggering frame heights to create some intriguing visuals. If cash is no object, bed frames aren't the only Gothic and Victorian style furniture you can add to your room.
Usually you will pay a premium for the exterior of the window to be anything other than white. These tips could also be implemented in huge spaces to obtain a minimalistic visual appeal. Exhibition: contains museums, gallery, exhibition hall, specially the design and style for showroom and exhibition gallery. There are lots of incredible web sites on the web which offer cost-free photo galleries of kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms and many far more spaces in the house. These are just some of the ideas that you can use if you are seeking for ideas for long living rooms.
Paint – one wall if you happen to be brief on patience and price range the complete space if you have adequate of both. I'll show you a couple of of the suggestions my daughter employed to make a entertaining bedroom for a ten year old girl, and, how you can do it, too! A quantity of people have commented on how useful these recommendations are for those living outside of the US. We actually take our massive living spaces and storage options for granted right here. Whitewashed furniture pieces constantly look appropriate at house in a coastal-inspired space. It could be a den, a reading space but my initial thought is a fitness area/ library I know it sounds contrary.
After all of the basics are in place, you'll want to finish off the look with some special accessories that make the entire area 'you'.

Feds: Ex-Pa. Drinks Maker Sold Ill-gotten Jewelry
Gregory Podlucky, 50, of Ligonier, was released after he was arrested on the new federal indictment unsealed Thursday - but only after he agreed to turn over a $289,000 Jaeger-LeCoultre watch he allegedly tried to sell at Sotheby's in New York last month. Podlucky agreed to surrender the watch once a judge threatened to jail him overnight.
Thursday's indictment also charges Podlucky's wife, Karla, 49, and their son, G. Jesse Podlucky, 30, with buying gold, sapphires and even patio furniture with the proceeds allegedly stolen from Le-Nature's Inc., and then trying to sell some of those items through Sotheby's and other means.
Podlucky is scheduled for trial in July on a 2009 indictment charging him and four business associates with cooking the Latrobe company's books to overstate the company's revenues that enabled them to obtain $806 million in loans and equipment leases. Assistant U.S. Attorney James Garrett of Pittsburgh contends most of that money was never spent on the company, which Podlucky founded and which was forced into bankruptcy by creditors owed $700 million in 2006.
Federal agents who searched the company's headquarters at that time reported finding a secret room containing millions of dollars' worth of valuables, including gold, silver and platinum jewelry and diamond-rich watches.
Investigators believed there were other valuables they couldn't find during that search, and claim in the new indictment that they included three diamonds worth $539,000 the Podluckys allegedly sold through Sotheby's in October 2009 and seven sapphires worth $2.27 million also sold through the auction house in April.
The Podluckys are charged with money laundering and they're also accused of buying more than $11,000 worth of patio furniture with ill-gotten cash in June.
Podlucky, his wife and son pleaded not guilty to the new money-laundering indictment on Thursday and declined to comment as they left the courtroom.
Attorneys for Podlucky's wife and son argued Garrett, the prosecutor, wrongly threatened Gregory Podlucky with jail in order to get the family to incriminate themselves about the watch.
"We suggest that possession of that watch is, in itself, a crime," Garrett told U.S. Magistrate Judge Ira Swearingen.
Swearingen allowed the Podluckys to remain free without posting bond, though Gregory Podlucky must turn over the watch by 1:30 p.m. Friday or risk being sent to jail.

Buxton overcame Rolls Royce 10-0 at Sunnyfields in the last league game of the season.
Both teams were only separated by one place in the league and Rolls had beaten Buxton in the first game of the season away and having only lost to two other sides all season, the Bucks were keen to return to winning ways.
Buxton dominated the early exchanges with some really aggressive big hits around the contact area, in particular, Austin, Waine and Storer were leading the way ensuring a regular supply of ball for the backs and denying the opposition the opportunity to play.
To the opposition's credit, their defensive structure was difficult to break down and it took until the last minute of the first half for Buxton to cross the line.
Storer crashed over from close range, and Sircar converted for a 7-0 interval lead.
Play resumed with Buxton now playing against a fairly stiff breeze and play continued as with the first half, Buxton dominating.
Building on field position Buxton's pack earned a penalty, a rare one at that and Sircar slotted it home with a fine chipped kick for a 10-0 lead after 50 minutes.
The hosts were now building waves of pressure but all too often saw the last pass go to ground for the score and against the wind were playing most of the rugby.
Rolls had a brief spell of possession ten minutes from the end but some fine defensive work from the Buxton team as a whole kept them out as they ensured a solid victory on the final day.
The result means Buxton finish fourth in the league standings.
This Saturday sees the Bucks host Castle Donnington in the semi-final of the Derbyshire Cup (3pm).

"We have grown from a £20m company to a £70m company, doubling the number of our converting machines and handling more SKUS with much, much larger jobs while reducing our Planning department from 12 to 5. People used to have to manually collate all the work sheets from the production floor and manually update the plan which would take in excess of 2 hours each time this needed to be done. Not only does this now just take 2 clicks of a mouse button, because the information is all stored within the system, it is also always accurate."

Northern Territory Travel Guide
The Northern Territory is home to the iconic Ayers Rock and the Olgas, the most sacred Aboriginal sites in Australia. As well as Alice Springs and the magnificent Red Centre, the Northern Territory also includes its Top End tropical regions, such as the lush rainforests and waterfalls of Kakadu and Litchfield National Parks, or the river gorges of Katherine. For city lovers, the waterfront state capital of Darwin offers a vibrant multi-cultural melting pot where there's a cuisine to satisfy every palate!
Territory information
- Ayers Rock & The Olgas
- Darwin
- Devils Marbles
- Katherine Gorge
- Kakadu National Park
- Tiwi Islands (Melville & Bathurst)
The Northern Territory is hot for the vast majority of the year. The Top End has two seasons, dry and wet, whilst the Red Centre has the usual four seasons. Coastal areas have heavy monsoon rain from March-November.
Required Clothing
Lightweight cottons and linens are fine for most of the year. Waterproof clothing is essential in the Top End during the rainy season and a warm sweater or jacket is advised for the Red Centre during winter months, as evenings can be quite cool.

I HAVE finally come to terms with the seriousness of my injury and am looking forward to as quick a return as possible.
I still can't figure out how it happened. It was a strange one because I went up for a challenge with Michael Duberry in the Reading game and I felt my right shoulder pop out in mid air – by the time I landed on the ground, it had popped back in again.
I obviously had to go off and it was aching a bit afterwards but not too bad so initially I was looking forward to playing again on the Saturday.
But I had a scan and that revealed that it was worse than first feared so the club booked me in to see one of the top shoulder specialists in Manchester who operated on me that week.
I was absolutely devastated by the news, knowing that I would be out for anything between two to three months, and the manager pulled me and suggested that I got myself away for a few days to get my head straight.
So I took his advice and went off with a mate to Dubai for a week and sat on the beach and just chilled out because with my arm all strapped up there was not a lot I could do in the days immediately after the op.
But since I have been back I have already started on the static bike and been in the pool trying to get a bit of movement back, and the good news is that, depending on how my rehab goes, I could be back inside two months.
But it is early days because I have only been out for two weeks so far.
I have to admit that I am not very good at being injured. In fact, like every player, I hate it.
I travelled with the lads to Watford on Saturday because I can't stand moping about the house and I want to be involved as much as I can.
Being captain, I like to be in the thick of things and try to play a part in the dressing room as much as I can even though I am not playing.
Off the field, I live next door to Danny Fox who is, of course, a good mate from our Walsall days.
It was not really planned to live so close, although it is pretty convenient for me at the minute because I can't drive and he is running me about.
When we moved to Coventry we were both looking for a place to live and I heard about some apartments and went to see them and decided to have one.
Dan was still looking and I told him about them so he had the other one.
Me and a few of the other lads are quite into our computer games, in particular Pro-Evo football on the Playstation.
Dan, Keiren Westwood, Leon Best and Robbie Simpson often get together for a game of winner stays on and I am definitely the best and Simmo is useless.
Other than that, I am a bit of a football junkie when it comes to watching the game on TV.
I watch pretty much anything and everything on Sky and Setanta.
But I am not that into watching other sports, other than maybe the Olympics when that is on. I hate cricket but I like to play a bit of golf, particularly during the summer, although I am not that serious about it at the moment.
I have lived away from home since I was 16 and signed for Walsall, so I am used to fending for myself. I like to cook a bit but nothing fancy.
Let's just say I get by but I do get home to my mum and dad's as often as I can, or they come down to see me, and I think all lads enjoy their mum's home cooking.
I grew up in Liverpool, in a place called Kirkdale, and supported the Reds as a lad. I still like to see them do well and hopefully they can push for the title this season.
They haven't been playing that well lately but are still getting results and are joint top with Chelsea, so fingers crossed.
I go to see them when I can, although I have only been once so far this season when they beat Portsmouth 1-0 in a dreadful game.
I sit in the Kop and usually go with my dad, Richard, who played semi-pro when he was younger.
He was a centre-half as well and I used to go and watch him play all the time. I started out as a midfielder but broke my leg when I was young and just started playing at the back after that.
I am the middle one of three kids. I have an older brother Paul, who is 26 and works as a joiner, and he has two kids himself, so I am a proud uncle.
And I also have a little sister called Sophie who is 11 and whom I spoil rotten, although I am not sure she always appreciates it!

Director Tricia Lee's creature feature BLOOD HUNTERS (formerly known as ONE DROP) will be making its world premiere at Horror Channel FrightFest in London this afternoon, and while FrightFest attendees count down the minutes until the screening we have the film's trailer and poster art to share right here.
Scripted by Corey Brown, BLOOD HUNTERS is
a character-driven genre film about a single mother who wakes up in a medical facility to find that everyone is dead and she's somehow nine months pregnant.
Lara Gilchrist, Benjamin Arthur, Torri Higginson, Julian Richings, Mark Taylor, and Peter Blankenstein star.
Lee produced BLOOD HUNTERS with Chris Luckhardt. Michael Baker and Brigitte Kingsley served as executive producers. International sales are being handled by High Octane Pictures.
The trailer seems to promise that there will be characters trapped in a hospital by blood-sucking monsters, which sounds like the recipe for a fun time, while the mysterious pregnancy angle adds an extra disturbing level to the whole thing. BLOOD HUNTERS looks like one worth checking out to me. Here's hoping its FrightFest screening goes well.

I had my first (and only) Ikea experience in my 3rd year of studies. We partenered with 4 Swedish design students and worked on a low cost housing development just outside of Port Elizabeth. Because of the Swedish involvement (the Swedish goverment have partnered with the City of Port Elizabeth in some way...) Ikea had decided to sponsor the interior furnishings required for the new homes.
We were given a catalogue to choose which items we wanted, it was shipped to the Port Elizabeth harbour, and we had a ball of a time assembling everything, even the kitchens!
Now I read that the new catalogue is out. And I am bombarded with images of what is on the shelfs, and again I long for my very own Ikea store. It's not that their stuff is soooo wonderful, it's more a case of making good design affordable. When will they come to our shores? ;(

Results of a recycling project - buildings that have gone from vegetable canneries to travel-trailer factories to educational facilities - have saved at least $2 million in state building funds for Snow College. Those buildings will be dedicated Friday.
Gov. Norm Bangerter will be featured at a 10 a.m. ribbon-cutting to mark the completion of the TeeD Center - Technology Education and Economic Development Center.Bangerter and Snow College President Gerald Day will also speak.
An open house will introduce visitors to the center's facilities, while exhibits and displays will feature the latest technological developments in items from computers to cellular phones.
The TeeD Center was a long time coming. It had its beginning in 1914, when the newly organized Ephraim Sanitary Canning Co. built a plant "across the tracks" on the west side of Ephraim. Its principal product was peas, but it also canned corn, beans and some row crops like carrots.
In 1927, the plant became a member of the Rocky Mountain Packing Co. family. Later it was sold to Hunt's Food and shortly thereafter was closed.
The machinery was removed, the doors were locked and the building stood empty - a fading relic, a sad reminder of the years when Sanpete Valley farmers had a cash crop that paid their bills and gave their kids summer employment.
On a cold December day in 1960, the building's future took a turn for the better. Equipped with a few tools, considerable know-how and a little capital, Harry Mosher and a friend moved into the dingy ground floor of the old cannery and built their first travel trailer.
They called it the Roadrunner.
The Roadrunner prospered. It soon outgrew the ground floor of the cannery. More land was acquired, buildings were constructed, the market expanded, the payrolls grew.
Roadrunners were seen on highways all over the West. The founders somehow had the perception or good luck to get into the business in the heyday of what a writer has called "the travel-trailer age."
The Entwistle Corp., a Boston-headquartered firm also manufacturing trailers and wanting to develop a Western market, took over the Roadrunner plant.
The Entwistle expansion program didn't work out. America's appetite for travel trailers had vastly diminished: By 1981, the machinery stood idle, the payroll gone and the "For Sale" sign in place.
Snow College entered the scene in 1982, and its administrators foresaw an expanded role for the college - a vocational education program that would train the area's youth for the job market.
The state didn't have the money to finance a full-fledged voc-ed program. It especially didn't have the money for a major building program.
Seeing the "For Sale" signs at the trailer plant, the office building and the sturdy cement buildings, college administrators decided the complex could be converted to educational uses.
After a week of negotiations, Entwistle agreed to a "bargain basement" price of $600,000 for a property valued at several million. The deal would have other benefits for the company, of course - getting out from under the property tax burden and gaining a substantial tax write-off.
The Legislature put its stamp of approval on the deal with an appropriation of the required $600,000.
The conversion process has been going on - almost room by room, building by building - as funds have become available.
Four renovated buildings now provide quarters for several vocational programs - building construction, automotive trades, computer information systems, and electronics and business subjects.
Also housed at the site are evening and summer programs, continuing education, co-op education, community service agencies, economic development. Incubator space and advisory help for start-up businesses are also provided.
The site is now called the west campus. The old, blue-painted cannery building is long gone. Tulips and daffodils are in bloom around the grounds. And the buildings that once turned out thousands of cases of canned peas and later hundreds of trailers bearing the Roadrunner logo will now turn out students.

I posted a few days ago about my dads friend and law partner, Lou. He was diagnosed a few weeks ago with cancer. My mom was robbed.of.her.life. in 1994 by lung cancer. Today my dad called and I knew the moment I heard his voice that something wasnt ok. I thought I was holding my breath for bad news about Lou. I wasnt.
Dad has a lesion on his kidney. He will have surgery next friday... they will either remove part of the kidney or all of it. He doesnt anticipate having chemo or radiation, he said they caught it very early. The little fucker is a 1.7 cm lesion on the outside of the left kidney at about 1 o'clock .. Madness dad gave her all the details, and true to dad form..spent a great deal of time comforting and reassuring her, cause thats what dads do. The oncologist said they dont get troublesome till about 4 cm, according to dad he's a bright and talented young fella. No other troubles were seen in the abdomen, he will have CT scans of the chest and brain to be extra cautious because thank God dad has competent, attentive doctors and, say it with me... health insurance. Dad doesnt seem worried. He said "this isnt like Mom.. " and I say to God.."It better NOT be!" Dad is confident that this is going to turn out fine .. he says hes got a great doctor .. and I say to God.. "He BETTER be!"
Stay tuned while Madness picks her heart up off the floor.

iPhone 8 might contain Rear Facing 3D Laser for AR Features: Leaks
Shivam Mudgal
Apple's announcement of ARKit at this year's WWDC was clear indication that the company is heavily interested in augmented reality. Now, new information suggests that the Cupertino-based company has been working on a "rear-facing 3D laser system" that can possibly be implemented at the back of the upcoming iPhone 8 in order to facilitate AR features as well as improve the camera performance. Separately, the smartphone has also been tipped to face a delay in shipments.
Apple working on Sensor System for Augmented Reality:
- Fast Company reports that Apple is working on a sensor system for its upcoming smartphones that will enable better detection of depth for the augmented reality apps
- With the help of laser and provide better autofocus in terms of photography.
- The inclusion of this sensor system (VSCEL laser system) on iPhone 8 will depend on progress that the engineers at the company are able to make in terms of technology integration on the smartphone.
VCSEL Laser Systems:
- "VCSEL laser systems calculate the distance the light travels from the laser to the target and back to the sensor, and generate a Time of Flight (TOF) measurement
- . The system consists of a source (the VCSEL laser), a lens, detector (sensor), and a processor.
- The whole thing costs about $2 per phone," Fast Company said citing a source in its report.
Delay in iPhone 8?
- Bank of America Merrill Lynch analysts have suggested that the iPhone 8 will face a delay of 3-4 weeks in shipments
- The delay may be caused due to technological issues on the basis of their conversation with the supply chain sources, reports CNBC.
- The report mentions problems with fingerprint sensor and 3D sensors to be the reason behind this delay.
- Notably, this is not the first time that the upcoming smartphones shipments have been tipped to be delayed.

Jeffrey Lynn Hurd was offered time to get his affairs in order before serving a 90-day sentence for shooting a neighbor's dog, but he told Washington County Circuit Judge W. Kennedy Boone III on Wednesday that he wanted to start serving the sentence immediately.
Hurd, 56, of 11845 Camden Road in Williamsport, was convicted in 2008 of two counts each of mutilating an animal and malicious destruction of property for shooting two dogs, one belonging to Arthur and Sonja Pereschuk in 2007, and another belonging to James and Renee Rudolph in 2007, according to court records.
"I don't think you're a bad person. I just think you're different," Boone told Hurd before denying his motion for work release. "Sometimes, I think you overreact."
The convictions for shooting the Pereschuks' dog, Bristol, were overturned by the Maryland Court of Special Appeals, which ruled Hurd acted legally, based on his claim that the dog was chasing a deer on his property. The court upheld the convictions for shooting the Rudolphs' dog, Harley, because state law does not allow a civilian to shoot a dog chasing a game bird, in this case a turkey.

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about How to Rent Your Property and other Rental Home topics.
A number of factors typically will influence your decision to sell your home or place it in a home rentals database. In most cases when the economic environment is positive, you'll often decide to sell your home. Receiving cash from the sale and using it to invest in another property is often the best course of action.
However, there are circumstances that might lead you to decide to create a rental home instead. A "down" market, as has occurred in the early years of the 21st century, has persuaded many to rent instead of sell their homes. When prices of real estate fall, you may be better served by renting your property until the market reverses and prices rise again.
One basic rule you might want to consider: If you can earn a decent profit choosing to rent your property and then earn an excellent gain by selling it in the future, this strategy may work for you. Recent well-publicized problems in the real estate market may indicate that you should consider renting in lieu of selling your home. When the market turns up, as it will, you may then want to reconsider your rent or sell decision.
The bottom line: When the market is good, you'll probably choose to sell. If the market is in stagnation or a downward spiral, you may want to rent for the short term. But if you want to have real estate income and long term gain with the favorable tax treatment that goes with it, you may want to rent regardless of the market.

There was great excitment for us in the shop this morning..we always love a delivery of Quiltmania magazine but when Quiltmania #98 arrived this morning we felt this issue was printed just for us...it features so many of our wonderful local quilters...not only are there the usual collection of inspiring projects,but there is a stunning quilt project from Michelle Yeo, an article on Melbournes Craft and Quilt Fair with photos of quilts made by some of our very own CAG members,
We wish you all a wonderful weekend...the weather is just perfect for some hand sewing and a glass of wine, outside in the sunshine....or, as recommended by Sammy, a nice snooze in the garden.

Student artists showcased a wide variety of their work at a city centre exhibition.
The 'Transitions' exhibition at Bank Street Arts was by artists studying A-level and UAL courses at Longley Park Sixth Form College.
It included disciplines like art, media, photography, graphics, 3D design and textiles.
Student Demi Saunders said; "This is a real achievement for me. I was really proud that I got the chance to have my work displayed in an exhibition."
Pieces on display came from projects based on themes of Identity, Light and Dark, and Organic. Demi's inspiration for her piece on 'distress and decay' came from professional artist Sam Peacock after a college visit.

Every early of the year, most of us have something to achieve. A wish that is repeated from the previous years or a really new goal to have. But, at the end of the year, how many of us analyze our wish for the last twelve months?
Most of us, (included me, actually) just give a simple answer; success or failed. It can be continue to next year or just stop it here. The analyze is not just success or failed but, what actually we did with this one year time? Is it really we aim the goal, or it just a wish? And why?
The dream and wish, I guess everybody have it. The different is the force and planning to get it. The exact goal, sometimes we forget to aim, like to shoot without target.
Dream, wish and aim, we need to include the planning and do the plan with it. Yes, some of us already do the plan and run the plan but still not really success. Look at the different angle; perhaps our aim is too high for us or the time is not suitable or the wrong place we went to. At least, we try everything that we can.
With this coming new year, for those who have dream to achieve, I feel that all of you may start plan the best to be aimed. For friends that never have dream yet, don't just look and see, but grap whatever the good thing comes into your life and I wish all of you best of luck.

Seminar links students and construction industry experts
Students from the School of Civil and Building Engineering heard from top construction industry experts in a valuable extra-curricular seminar held recently.
Government targets strongly encourage the use of BIM (Building Information Modelling) in the industry and the students were able to hear from speakers from AluK and The B1M, who explained how to overcome the challenges of introducing and understanding this new technology.
The seminar was the third of a series of ground-breaking classes about BIM which is transforming the way that buildings are designed, built and managed. The students heard about a series of practical steps that businesses are taking.
Keynote speaker, Jordan Kingman from aluminium building product manufacturer AluK, explored how collaboration, understanding the market and investment were all key to overcoming the barriers to BIM adoption and delivering good quality, useable information on building products. He emphasised how BIM can create better buildings, through more accessible sources of 'ready-designed' virtual doors, windows and other products.
The students also heard from Fred Mills, a graduate of the Loughborough degree programme Architectural Engineering and Design Management and founder of The B1M. The award-winning social enterprise business was established in response to the need for a mass uptake of BIM and a degree of confusion across the industry. The B1M is a free online video resource that's reaching out to a wider audience with easily digestible content.
The event formed part of their 'B1M University' series, which shares industry BIM expertise with students around the world through filmed classes. More are planned in this academic year with attendance open to both students and industry personnel alike.
Commenting about the event Fred said: "BIM is really improving the way we deliver and operate our built environment, and it is clear from Loughborough's approach to the curriculum that their students are being well prepared to work in this way."
As part of the seminar Dr Zulfikar Adamu, who is leading the teaching of BIM, in the School of Civil and Building Engineering, explained that all students in the School have access to extensive online training for industry-standard software packages, and most courses include specialist modules on BIM to prepare them for placements and graduate employment.
Further information about The B1M is available here.
