Many of us obtain our homeowners insurance when we purchase our home. After this initial purchase, we do not give this insurance another thought. It is not until the roof is damaged during a violent thunderstorm, a major appliance fails and floods our basement, or the neighbor's kid slips and fractures their wrist in our living room that we dust off the policy and ask ourselves, "Am I covered for this?" Don't wait until damage or an accident happens to discover what your insurance policy includes. Instead, you should have a good understanding of your policy and every year you should assess if your coverage should increase. The purpose of this article is to point out some general characteristics of homeowners insurance and help you determine if you have the right coverage. Obviously this cannot substitute for a consultation with your insurance provider, but it will give you a better idea of what questions to ask.Read More »
Experience is sometimes an unforgiving instructor. At Online Insurance, we learned about devastation caused by flood waters firsthand when Cedar Rapids, IA was hit by a massive flood June 13, 2008. Online Insurance is parented by enlighten technologies, inc.™ , which includes many other businesses such as LAWCHEK®, LawyersListings, and HouseList. Our headquarters in downtown Cedar Rapids was inundated with water after the Cedar River crested at 31.1 feet (19.1 feet over flood stage) to overtake 1,300 blocks of the city.* The first floor was completely lost and when the water reached 4 feet on the upper level, it was destroyed, as well. After a slow road to recovery, and upon reflection, we've written an article about what to do if a flood hits your home or business. We hope our readers never have to use the practical advice in this article.Read More »
The old days of harsh bleach and chemicals used to clean the house are slowly fading out. Along with this trend is a desire of many consumers to adopt more environmentally friendly products for their home. This can be anything from the new countertops and floors to the groceries purchased at the local supermarket. In addition to what you bring in (and take out) of your home, the maintenance of your home is another way to become more green. According to the energysavers.gov website, "Americans spend more than $160 billion a year to heat, cool, light, and live" in their homes. Every option may not be appealing and some may find their budget does not allow for all of the products available. However, a few home improvements and informed purchases can save you money in the long run and also provide a healthier home for your family and the planet.Read More »

Economic responsibility
The HYY Group consists of the business operations of the Student Union of the University of Helsinki. From an economic point of view, we emphasise responsibility towards our owners in particular, as well as long-term operations.
In terms of finances, our aim is to provide a constant and equal distribution of profits for the Student Union. With the distribution of profits by the HYY Group, the Student Union can operate in a financially independent manner and advance its own goals.
The basis for our strong economy is renting out business premises in the centre of Helsinki. In addition, we operate in areas that are close to the every-day life of students: restaurant and accommodation fields. The HYY Group's investment operations serve as a leader for responsible investing in Finland.
We aim to show the way through our example.
FIBS is the leading corporate responsibility network in Finland, and the HYY Group is an active member of the network.
FIBS aims to help companies discover their competitive edge in responsible operations: it provides information on trends in corporate responsibility, best practices as well as tools, and offers companies the possibility to exchange information and experiences and learn and create new ideas together with different interest groups.
Responsibility offers a competitive edge when a company can offer something that its competitors do not have. New opportunities for business operations are easiest to find when responsibility is the foundation for a business. By developing solutions to social problems, the company can respond to the expectations of customers, personnel and investors and distinguish itself from its competitors.
In the autumn 2009, a group of parties who had signed the UN's principles for responsible investment – HYY Group among them – gathered to discuss the need to establish a party that would actively promote responsible investment in Finland. These parties represented an investment asset of more than EUR 250 million. As a result of the discussion, Finsif, Finland's Sustainable Investment Forum, was established in the summer 2010. There were 18 founding members, among them the HYY Group.

Men are shoving their dollars now a days into far more rewarding bachelor parties. Taking off to exotic destinations with their buddies one last time, before tying the knots. As oppose to going to a club, to stare at a stripper's boobies. I just read about it on Forbes.com today, not exactly in those words. It was called "The Ultimate Bachelor Party Spots", by Shivani Vora. Apparently it's a new growing trend in bachelors, guys have realized, "It's all about bonding with friends", really? No more Scores? I guess not as often, sorry ladies.
It makes sense. Breaking old habits, and doing something different. I mean you've gotten this far. You managed to make it thru school, survived nagging parents. You've are busting your Bunda/Booty everyday at work proving to your boss that you are good at what you do, and they should be paying you more no? And now you managed to find that certain someone whom makes all the difference in your life. An experience to travel with your friends, see something new and experience it together. Yes, it's a far more memorable thing to look back at, than trying to figure out why your wedding was called off after you woke up with a stranger, and really can't recall what happened.
Or at least if you are planning to be infiel/unfaithful, chances of your partner finding out about it will be slim, because a trip to new adventure destination with the buddies, has a more mature sound to it than say, a gathering with the boys to the local strip club before chapel walk. So Hells yeah, you deserve something more than the same ole bachelor party. I read guys are even signing up with Bachelor Planner and paying muito dinero/alot of money. But that may not be necessary. It can still be done on a decent budget. A step up because you're different like that, and it's your reward before you start on a new chapter (high five).
So hey, why don't you and the guys check out, Salvador da Bahia, Brazil. It's different and you really don't have to spend alot, unless you want to go rent yourself a yacht and go out in Luxury. Hey some dude shelled out $125,000 bucks to for 18 of his friends to fly out to London, and then booked them all at the Mayfair Hotel. I guess getting married convinced him to .. go overboard. Or he really loved his pals, and feared the bride would scared them all away. Who knows, I'm sure he's still remembering the bill he got for all of it.
But on a moderate or even a small budget
one can really have an awesome time in Salvador da Bahia. Get a nice tan while you surf, try out kite boarding. Dive and see if you can find some stash of gold down in a shipwreck. Like they do in the movies and then back stab your friend, for it and ride off in a jet ski. Literally.
Ok don't try that one, there's a reason why we only hear about it, … in movies. Do try some Ecological activities in the nearby islands as well. There are tons of islands off the coast of Bahia. Or if you rather not risk having a " near drowning", experience before the wedding maybe stay on land and go learn some Samba moves. At a local dance school with a pretty Bahiana instructor, whom will flirt with you so much you'll be smiling like a ding-dong for days, (a term used in grade school, it's somehow associated with looking rather silly). Imagine you returning to your bride and surprising her with your dance moves at the reception? And she though you couldn't dance all this time;} She'll be so impress, women like to see a little hip swinging too.
Handpick your own stash of hand-rolled cigars with
the guys for the bar at your wedding reception. How smooth is that, and the bride can't complain, it's your contribution to the reception planning. They have places all over the city in which you can walk in and watch them do it. They even take a break and sit back and smoke with you. Play some serious golf with the boys, or pretend if your bad unless they tell…no one will know. There is a popular Golf course in Salvador da Bahia, the Catussaba Resort Hotel. The Golf link I just added is actually a humorous story writen by a man on, "World Golf", about how the stereotype of Brazil girls rings true in Bahia. Oh yeah he mentions, golf too.
Then later before dinner relax in the hammocks and kick back some cold beers as you talk about old times and watch the sunset behind a group of locals starting up a soccer game on the beach, or laugh at the stoned-out ones getting hit in the head with the ball while playing their guitars as they serenade the moon-rising. I'm just mentioning a few of the things you could do Salvador da Bahia with your friends.
Strip clubs??? LOL, you won't miss them. Just look around you, men and women in Bahia… looks so darn…GOOD. There's got to be some beauty secrets they all share. Joan Rivers, girlfriend if you are reading this, I'll find out for us, … sooner for your sake. So guys you can admire the beauty from up close in broad daylight, for free as you simply walk down the streets. Just don't stare too long, remember you're classified as part of a new generation of "hip" trend-setters, not the creepy dude group. Put your sunglasses on if you must.
I wonder what the ladies are doing nowadays as they count down their last days of… "Freedom"?
I'm going to go find out, I'll be back,

Still Alive....No Baby
My desire to blog has been about at the same level as my desire to still be pregnant, hence no entry for over a month. Our count down to baby's due date is over, and now we'll see how stubborn she'll be and how far over we can go! It's not that bad, I actually feel good still and am not overly anxious to go through the whole birthing process again...we'll just leave it there. So here are some highlights from the last little bit:
Just thought this was pretty adorable
Found this really cute park with a train...
that Ry was a little apprehensive about...
a stream running through it...
and we had some great laying out on the grass time.

Aww, so cute! In a clip for this week's episode of Counting On, Joy-Anna Duggar and Austin Forsyth played the "Shoe Game," a fun variation on the Newlywed Game. They got some laughs from their family and friends as they revealed how well they knew each other -- right down to who has smellier feet.
The episode was filmed before the pair got married last May, and was a chance to prove their love -- or at least how well they knew each other. Joy and Austin sat back-to-back, and each held one of their own shoes, as well as their partner's.
More from CafeMom: Jeremy Vuolo Hints About Making a Major Move With Jinger Duggar
Austin explained the game (which was played at their joint bachelor-bachelorette party) to the camera, saying, "You're asked a question ... It if applies to you, then you raise your shoe. And if it applies to your partner, you raise their shoe."
Joy added, "Yeah [and] we're back-to-back, so we don't know what the other person is saying."
To get the ball rolling, a friend asked some simple questions, like who was older (Austin), and who had more siblings (Joy). She also asked who said "I love you" first, and we honestly weren't expecting the answer we got.
"I first said 'I love you' in front of my parents," Joy-Anna confessed. "Austin said that he had wanted to tell me a long time but it was really sweet. He started crying and said 'I love you' too."

They also made everyone laugh when they were asked who would do the cooking in the house once they got married. Jeremiah Duggar shared his favorite part of the game, saying, "I think the funniest answer I saw was whenever they were trying to figure out who would be doing the cooking in the house ... Austin raised Joy, Joy raised both of them."
Jedidiah Duggar also revealed his favorite moment. He said, "I thought the shoe game was awesome ... But I think one of my favorite questions was probably who had the smelliest feet." They both raised Joy's (stinky) shoe for that one.

Upon waking on cold winter morning,
Found myself walking down the white lane,
Breathing in bracing frigid air,
Breathing out the secret unspeakable name of God….
Cold air clarifies far reaches of the calling of this day,
Inhaling the shivering pain that lays against the world,
Exhaling warm compassion from the Spirit world;
What does it take to take the vision deeper—
To expand the gateway as we walk the long white road,
Hearing the call of sacred imagination,
Walking upon the slippery path
But with courage to always dance the dance….
Walking on Cold Winter Morning
Upon waking on cold winter morning,

In the "better late than never" category: check out this 7 track EP 'Bekastasie' by B.K Mik. We've just discovered this EP - that was released on the 16th of august - and we were pleasantly surprised! Judging from the following on his Soundcloud and Facebook, B.K Mik is a fairly unknown producer from Paris, France. With 'Bekastasie', he proves that he deserves a bigger audience. The producer showcases his talent with 7 very diverse tracks offering a variety of sounds. There's a dash of deep house, nu-jazz, ambient and funk to be found on the record that's available as a free download. Our favorites are the Dilla/Nujabes inspired track "Tes Reins" and the Disclosure-like tune "First L". Enjoy!

//1. Your significant other's blog; a blessing or a curse?
Long pause. That devilish grin slowly appears on his face, so much so that his dimples show.
Rob: Blessing because it makes you happy.
Me: What did you really want to say?
Rob: Blessing because it makes you happy.
Even though he said the right answer, I was a bit hurt by his reaction. He wanted to say curse, I could tell and I think that's complete and total bullshit! He has so many things going on in his life that take up his time and attention. I always think he's unfair that way. He can have time consuming projects, but my my time consuming projects aren't as welcome. Boo to that Robert- booooo!
|An oldie of Rob.. but there you can see those dimples.. They only come out when he's really smiling, or up to no good...
Rob: Yes.
Me: Really?
Rob: Yeah.
Me: You don't read it everyday though..
Rob: No.
Okay, so it appears as though this Boys Behind The Blog is going to get Rob into some trouble. He says that he reads my blog, but it's a pretty rare occasion. I wish he took more interest in it because it means so much to me. He often reads the posts that are about him, which is normal because we're all a little narcissistic, but I wish he took more of a personal interest.
//3. What is one thing you can do better than anyone that you know?
Me: Don't say everything..!
Rob: I don't know.. better than everyone else?! ..... Touch my toes! I can definitely touch my toes better than ANYONE I know.
It's true. Rob is ridiculously flexible. He started playing hockey when he was three. He played for fifteen years and he was a goalie for twelve of those years. So you can imagine that level of flexibility hasn't gone anywhere.
//4. What is your favourite show from the 90's?
Rob: Fresh Prince of Bel-Air!
Such a funny t.v. show. I would definitely have to agree that I watched my fair share of this one.
I actually reminded him that we had this fluffy dream that we would love to open up an Irish pub one day. I don't think it would necessarily be a blast owning a pub, but it wouldn't be a bad gig... We love Irish music and absolutely love going to Irish Times when we visit Victoria. So if we could do that one day, it could be interesting..
|A collage of a few times that we've visited Irish Times. The pictures alone, show what a great place it is!

"The radio transmission continued. I sat down in the passenger seat, my eyes staring at every shape and shadow around me. The sudden silence of the alarm should have relaxed me, but it only served to heighten my fear and uncertainty. After all, the hiss and hum of the wind was now increased and the words of the singer on the radio seemed like unearthly bellows"
Another letter from Lizzie. The whole notion of Lizzie writing, structuring, looking up spelling, struggling to find the right words, chewing her bottom lip regarding the finer points of punctuation, fascinated me, and I read and reread this new letter, wondering what she was thinking at each turn in proceedings: "A collar or a semi-collar?" she would ask herself; "An apostle before or after the 's'?"; "Is it time to open a new parachute?"
It was evening when I sat down to read the letter, plumped some cushions, raised my legs and sat back to savour it over and over again. I read it the way I would read Bronte or Gaskell – looking for underlying themes, looking for what wasn't quite there on the surface but there in the detail. The Dizzie, I decided, was in the detail.
So, what did she say to me this time: "Letters that aren't French are not what I'm about – all this pen on paper is not the kind of one-on-ones that I dabble in; it's ruining my reputation; it's straining my eyes; I'm sure I need spectacles now; the idea of that? gross, gross and triple gross; I'm sure you'll end up married to a farmer of dairy cows and your fingers will smell of old penises and your hair will look like a pubic rug and when he goes for a wee-wee you'll have to hold his antiquated bollocks out of the way for fear of them splashing off the un-bleached water." It had that kind of air about it, essentially.
What was she really saying? "She hadn't had a man in weeks. It was all my fault. I'd abandoned her. She's getting headaches because there's not enough alcohol and drugs in her system. My mother has told her I've met a farmer or that the town nearby is full to the brim with them and their muddy boots and patched elbows! The only men hitting on her these days were, as she always called them: of the 'geriatric means hairy-back-tric' type!"
It was only when my car alarm went off that I realised how absorbed I had been in analysing Lizzie's letter. I went over to the window with a great sickening fist at the bottom of my stomach like some gall-stone of trepidation.
The car sat right in front of the house on the gravel driveway. It was a slightly cloudy night, darkening gradually, and seeming moonless to me from that window. There was very little wind in the air too and the trees that completely lined the front of the house were still, as if holding their breaths. All I could see was the headlights flashing on and off, opening up bright beams of light across the front of the house; the cabin of the car (that's what I'm calling it anyway) was also illuminated and I could hear the sound of the radio playing just beneath the repetitive swirl of noise.
I chewed my lip and looked all around. Of course, it could be an electrical thing – not related to the house, I know. Lord, I'm not that dim-witted! But, on the other hand, it could be related to the astronaut. I didn't know. But I would have to go through the house in order to get out of the front door – and I had begun to be fearful of the corridors and rooms outside of my little chambers when it had turned dark outside. There was nothing for it. I got my car key and tried pressing the alarm off by holding the key up to the window. Nothing happened. What if I opened the window? It required some serious argy-bargy and shoogling on my part, and no mean amount of muscular leverage and good old-fashioned shoving and slapping. Finally – and after I released the catch – it moved up. More pressing of the key, this time through the open window and with my arm extended out of it, but still the deafening, incessant whir continued. I believe that I uttered the expression: "Dash and confound it!" Or something mighty similar in sentiment, though perhaps slightly more contemporary, fulsome and, shall we say, well-rounded.
"All I could see was the headlights flashing on and off, opening up bright beams of light across the front of the house; the cabin of the car (that's what I'm calling it anyway) was also illuminated and I could hear the sound of the radio playing just beneath the repetitive swirl of noise"
Well-rounded? What about 'going round'? Circumventing i.e. manipulating my pert cheeks out of the window in order to avoid the corridors of Mordan House! No sooner had I thought this than there was an anus in the air (and it was mine), a tushy above head height (that was mine too) and boobs dangling in a fashion that is only appropriate to a female sprinter on her marks (hands up, I own and look after them both). Quickly uprighted and dusted down, I took a few steps towards the car.
How strange that in this position and in this place everything looked so different. It had appeared a simple operation, but now, out on the gravel and out of the house, everything seemed a great deal more sinister than it had appeared behind glass. There was in fact a breeze and I could feel it vibrating off my ear-drum. Then there was the song from the car stereo: 'Catch a Falling Star'. The song seemed so crass and insipid, yet with the wind, the darkness and the violent screeching and flashing of the car it seemed disconcerting. Too much of a coincidence that the car outside of a house haunted by an astronaut should, all of a sudden, spurt out a song about stars? I thought so. But, just like before, I was caught in two minds as well as No-Man's Land, both at the same time. As I moved closer to the car, even the crunch-crunch of my own feet on the gravel made me feel uneasy – even with such a din as a backdrop I felt each footfall to rouse demons from their slumber and awaken ghouls of some description.
I tried to stay focussed. I breathed as deeply as I could and strode purposefully towards the car.
"Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket …"
I opened the car door, my head looking in every direction around me all at once it seemed.
"… save it for a rainy day …"
Almost in complete synchronicity, the alarm stopped as soon as I opened the door and the headlights stopped flashing.
"… catch a falling star and put it in your pocket …"
The radio transmission continued. I sat down in the passenger seat, my eyes staring at every shape and shadow around me. The sudden silence of the alarm should have relaxed me, but it only served to heighten my fear and uncertainty. After all, the hiss and hum of the wind was now increased and the words of the singer on the radio seemed like unearthly bellows.
"… never let it fade away."
I turned off the radio. For a moment, but only a moment, I felt better. I had only to switch off the cabin light and get back to the window.
Cabin light switched off, door slammed shut behind me and locked, I was ready to dash back to the window when I felt, for the first time in the manoeuvre, a sense of release from my fear. Nothing had happened. It was just a typical night and typical nights are experienced by billions of people across the world. Just a cloaking of light, a temporary covering over of things, a little time off for the world from the glare and intensity of appearance. Momentarily, I thought I would enjoy what little I could see; enjoy what I could sense of the world, its dark camouflage and slow somnambulance. The simplicity of it all was sweetly soothing. The trees were in fact moving – ever so gently, almost rocking backwards and forwards in their light sleep. The clouds above the trees were grey and tinged with a mellow orange in places – surrounding them was that muddy blueness that characterises the night-sky before everything goes entirely black and all there is is feeling without form.
At this time, there was still form, ever-so slight. And, above the trees, one of its forms suddenly caught my eye. Hanging at a slight angle and in complete stillness was a bright white shape - all of it was white except for a rectangle of absolute blackness that I knew instantly concealed eyes that were staring at me. It was the astronaut, hanging in mid-air above the trees as if floating in outer space.
"Hanging at a slight angle and in complete stillness was a bright white shape - all of it was white except for a rectangle of absolute blackness that I knew instantly concealed eyes that were staring at me. It was the astronaut, hanging in mid-air above the trees as if floating in outer space"
I ran. I ran without thinking and without looking back. Every step seemed to stick in the gravel but I found reserves of strength from somewhere and my hand gripped the window in seconds. My back and the hair on the back off my head shivered. I could almost feel him fly through the air towards me and his hand reach out to grab me. Somehow, but without really thinking, as I climbed back through the window I looked behind me at where the astronaut had been. He was still there. Still at an angle and still completely still; just a bright threat biding its time, its hidden eyes coldly and calculatedly taking me in. Somehow the stillness of him terrified me even more than if I had seen him descending towards me. Still awaiting that spectral touch at any moment, I got back into the room, slammed the window shut with an almighty crash and peered back out. With the window between us, the opportunity to breathe again presented itself and I took it deeply and luxuriously. There, in the space just above the tree-line where the astronaut had hung, was now emptiness. He had gone.
"Somehow, but without really thinking, as I climbed back through the window I looked behind me at where the astronaut had been. He was still there. Still at an angle and still completely still; just a bright threat biding its time, its hidden eyes coldly and calculatedly taking me in"
I stepped back from the window, my eyes still fixed on it. But all was quiet and empty outside. Then I glanced around me, just to reassure myself that he hadn't somehow got into the room. It too was quiet and empty. More than that, it was peaceful; just as I had left it, and I started to feel secure again, although my hands were still trembling. I looked at them as they shook, and then wrung them together to heat and still them. As I sat down on a chair, the window was still in plain view.
I sensed I was getting back to normal when I eventually noticed the ticking of the clock: tick-tock tick -
I leaped from my seat as a bright image catapulted itself off the window with such force that the frame seemed to jolt and the glass bevel. The heavy thump and rattle of the impact made me scream out loud before I'd even thought that I was going to scream. At the window I saw the astronaut, no longer still and silent but ferociously threshing his arms and thumping his gloved fists against the glass. I could hear a mad and desperate groaning noise through the window, still sounding submerged and transmitted as if beamed back to me from space. The way he moved was manic and the sheer violence of it caused me to fold up into a ball in the corner of the room and try to hide my face. Around me, objects in the room tumbled from their perches while others rattled vehemently as each frantic thump rained down on the window as if those gloved fists were raining down on the walls of the room itself.
Every limb, every muscle of his, jerked, twitched and lashed out against those panes of glass. At the same time, the deathly gurgling continued, incessant and disgusting. In the pitch-black visor I saw the reflected light from my room and, at times, a blurred fleeting impression of myself huddled in terror. I began to cry and my hands busied themselves all across my body: in my hair, over my knees, down my arms, across my face. Never stopping, not knowing what to do, not knowing what was next. I vaguely remember pleading, but whispered, for fear I would be heard and found.
Then, in a moment that came so swiftly that it was almost unbearable, the astronaut was suddenly propelled back from the window as if dragged away by some extraordinary force. I noticed the image buckle with the suddenness of the movement and the limbs instantly fall stiff as it was hauled away with such speed that I doubted that it had happened at all. As the figure disappeared, the anguished groan seemed to die away as if it too was pulled unstoppably out of this world. The sudden silence all around me seemed to tremble and vibrate as if sensing after-shocks. All I could hear was a rasping that seemed so constrained that I thought I was going to die. My lungs were shrivelled in terror and the muscles in my chest, windpipe and throat seemed folded up like the fingers of a fist that would not loosen for fear of an event worse than death.
I don't know how I got to my inhaler. I remember seeing my hands across the carpet, so I think I must have crawled. I don't remember the moment of release when the chemical surged into me. I remember waking on the kitchen floor. I remember waking many times over the next couple of days. Nothing else that occurred, inside or outside of me, has since dared to be remembered.

If you've ever seen an unfortunate woman at the grocery store wearing a midriff-revealing top and packed into a pair of lavender tights like meat in a sausage wrapper, or a follicularly challenged man with a hairpiece two shades off and three centimeters adrift, and asked yourself what on Earth those people were thinking when they looked in the mirror before leaving the house, this is a good sign that your theory of mind (not to mention your fashion sense) is in working order. When others violate our expectations for normalcy or stump us with surprising behaviors, our tendency to mind-read goes into overdrive. We literally "theorize" about the minds that are causing ostensible behavior.
What's unfolding in the Arab world today is the mother of all wake-up calls. And what the voice on the other end of the line is telling us is clear as a bell:
"America, you have built your house at the foot of a volcano. That volcano is now spewing lava from different cracks and is rumbling like it's going to blow. Move your house!" In this case, "move your house" means "end your addiction to oil."

Global LNG production growth to be lower than anticipated
According to the report 'Global LNG Industry to 2015 Investment Opportunities, Analysis and Forecasts of All Active and Planned Liquefaction and Regasification Terminals', in 2008, global LNG liquefaction capacity stood at 209.65 million t. According to earlier estimates, global liquefaction capacity was slated to touch 414.84 million tpy by 2012. However, delay in nine liquefaction projects with a total capacity of 70.93 million tpy will bring down the anticipated average annual growth rate (AAGR) from 17.06% to 14.61% between 2008 and 2012.
Between 2008 and 2011, the growth rate of global regasification capacity will decline only moderately from 23.94% (earlier growth estimate) to 23.27%. The impact of the current financial crisis on regasification capacity growth will be less compared to liquefaction as the latter are far more expensive to build than regasification terminals. A typical regasification terminal construction costs around US$ 600 - US$ 700 million as compared with construction cost of a liquefaction terminal (with one liquefaction train of 5 - 7 million tpy) around US$ 5 - US$ 6 billion.
The global LNG shortage will become acute by 2015
The global LNG industry is heading towards a supply crunch by 2015. The supply surge of LNG due to decline in demand will be replaced by supply shortages post 2012, as demand picks up. According to the aforementioned report, assuming that all the LNG production plants worldwide commence operations as per schedule, the demand-supply gap will stand at more than 600 million t of LNG by 2012. The global regasification capacity, which is expected to be built without assured long-term LNG supply contracts will be 742.8 million tpy in 2015 whereas the available liquefaction capacity that can be contracted out will be 217.9 million tpy. This huge gap between the demand and the supply is clearly suggesting an acute shortage for LNG supply by 2015.
Floating storage and regasification units (FSRU) – a cost effective solution to drive LNG industry amidst global credit crunch
A major technological development in the LNG industry has been floating regasification and liquefaction terminals. The first Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU) has been the Golar Spirit, which started operations at Ceara LNG in Brazil in January, 2009. The new technology is now being used at over 15 LNG terminals planned across the globe, which are scheduled to commence operations by 2015. Floating liquefaction technology is also a prospective improvement in the LNG industry to develop stranded reserves at minimal cost.
Global LNG industry: shifting LNG trade patterns in the future
Global LNG trade patterns are likely to witness significant changes in the future. LNG demand is projected to increase rapidly as natural gas becomes a preferred fuel and the demand growth from emerging economies like China and India will be a major driver for the LNG market in the future.
Asia Pacific will be the largest LNG importing region by 2015 and India will replace Spain as one of the top five LNG importers - while China, Japan and South Korea will continue to be major importers. The US will witness rise in dependence on imported LNG. On the supply side, there will be a significant change in the top five exporting countries with Australia and Nigeria breaking into the top five while Indonesia and Algeria will move out. Russia and Iran are unlikely to develop significant liquefaction capabilities. These factors will lead to a significant change in the global LNG trade movements by 2015.

Ending of Mother 3, How do I portray a video game world?
So hi. I'm new. Nice to meet you. Anyway, I was planning on doing a video game for a DI. It counts because it's a screenplay and screenplays count :) As I was saying, how do I do that? There's only talking from one character and that's the penultimate boss character. Do I make up lines for the other characters as well? How I am supposed to do a boss fight? The video game is Earthbound by the way (yes my username I know). I'm doing the final fight scene with Porky and Giygas
Also, while on the subject. Does a parody of something (like a television show or an abridged) without a published script be done for HI?
Hi, Ness_Earthbound!
In general, you need to check with your league about what their policies are with scripts for events. Some leagues are stricter than others with what's allowed. There might be a percentage you are allowed to screw around with the actual script and the changing of lines. There might not be. I would say no to making up lines for other characters. If you can "re-distribute" lines from one character to another, or from one scene to another, then you might have something. If that's not possible, you might be left with a monologue style DI where you pop to a silent character. If you do that, make sure your silent character has HUGE expressions and great body language.
If not saying it can't be done, but you will have a bit of a challenge ahead of you. I'm personally unfamiliar with Earthbound, but you might be able to come up with something with creativity. Again, check with your league's rules to see what you have to play around with.
As for the boss fight, that's just going to come down to tight blocking and extreme practice of popping.
Good luck! I would love to see a video of this on the site if you get it off its feet and running.
I don't know if that parody idea is possible...I would think a script is required. I'm fairly certain I remember my coach having to turn in scripts at later tourney competitions to validate them as being "legal?" I could be wrong. And I know my league wouldn't have let me make up lines for characters like that.
But maybe your league is more laid-back! Or maybe you have an event that allows for more flexibility? OR maybe you can create your own original script involving those game characters, make it a comedy, and do OC?

Apple did not have the first MP3 player. Or the first smartphone. Or the first tablet.
At a recent public appearance at the Utah Tech Tour, in a conversation moderated by Utah's Senator Orrin Hatch, Apple CEO Tim Cook pointed out that Microsoft had tablets on the market decades before Apple.
Cook emphasized his company's timing coming to market with new products to underscore the idea that it's nearly impossible for a company to be the best, the first and to make the most of a given product.

Abstract The antimicrobial properties of CuO nanoparticles have been investigated, but the underlying mechanisms of toxicity remain the subject of debate. Here, we show that CuO nanoparticles exhibit significant toxicity at pH 5 against four different Staphylococcus aureus S. aureus strains, including Newman, SA113, USA300, and ATCC6538. At this pH, but not at pH 6 and 7, 5 mM CuO nanoparticles effectively caused reduction of SA113 and Newman cells and caused at least 2 log reduction, whereas 20 mM killed most strains but not USA300. At 5 mM, the nanoparticles were also found to dramatically decrease reductase activity in SA113, Newman, and ATCC6538 cells, but not USA300 cells. In addition, analysis of X-ray absorption near-edge structure and extended X-ray absorption fine structure confirmed that S. aureus cells exposed to CuO nanoparticles contain CuO, indicating that Cu2+ ions released from nanoparticles penetrate bacterial cells and are subsequently oxidized intracellularly to CuO at mildly acidic pH. The CuO nanoparticles were more soluble at pH 5 than at pH 6 and 7. Taken together, the data conclusively show that the toxicity of CuO nanoparticles in mildly acidic pH is caused by Cu2+ release, and that USA300 is more resistant to CuO nanoparticles NPs than the other three strains.

The month of March brings us a whole slew of Netflix series to get us into couch potato mode. With the March holidays in full swing, we're here to give you the scoop of must-watch titles you should definitely binge on!
Dear White People
What is it about? Filled with the perfect mix of satire and wit, this series follows the similarly-titled acclaimed indie film and is set in a "post-racial" society, where students of colour try to overcome social barriers and prejudiced judgements in a predominantly white Ivy League school.
Why a must-watch: This series brings our attention to significant societal issues such as racial bias and social injustice. Besides raising awareness about these important topics, it also features a strong, empowering black identity which is arguably necessary on national television these days. Despite its complex plot, the events are peppered with lighthearted jokes and will unfold with intriguing plot twists you'll never see coming.
Date released: Currently available on Netflix
Marvel's Jessica Jones
What is it about? Set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Jessica Jones is a fictitious superhero armed with a myriad of extraordinary superpowers, snark and a teensy bit of sweet. Running a detective agency in the day, join our titular heroine on her double-life adventures as she simultaneously tries to get through each day and save the people around her.
Why a must-watch: Though fictional, this show explores important, hard-hitting issues such as PTSD and assault in a realistic and honest manner through the complex yet endearing characters. Watch on as the various characters come to terms and try to resolve their problems with courage in season two.

The Crown
What is it about? The Crown is a biological timeline of events, chronicling the reign of Queen Elizabeth II.

Why a must-watch: A politically charged yet heartbreaking tale of royal romance, this British series is perfect for history buffs and any anglophiles.
Dare released: Currently available on Netflix
Bates Motel
What is it about? A contemporary prequel to the well-known 1998 horror film Psycho, Bates Motel is certainly not for the faint-hearted. Although the events are rather twisted and borderline gory, it unravels in such a thrilling and shrewd way that you'll be gripping onto the edge of your seat in anticipation for what's next.
Why a must-watch: Unlike the movie, the latest season incorporates more elements of Norman Bates' childhood and psychological state, truly fleshing out his descent into madness which makes us empathise with him as a character. We like that it also elucidates his close-knit yet emotionally complex relationship with Norma Bates.
Date released: Currently available on Netflix
What is it about? If you're a fan of science fiction, fantasy and horror, have a whirl at this adrenaline-pumping thriller flick. Watch as an all-female entourage explore unchartered territories full of danger, threats and impending doom in a whole new fantastical universe.
Why a must-watch: Not only does this film feature a stellar cast with fan favourites like Natalie Portman and Oscar Issac, it also plays with realistic sci-fi effects and stimulating visuals that will leave you craving for more.
Date released: 12 March 2018
What is it about? A remake of the popular 1947 family film, this heartwarming adaptation follows the journey of everyone's favourite canine star Benji. After being adopted by a kind family, the once-orphaned mutt strikes up a friendship with the two kids and comes to their rescue when danger befalls them.
Why a must-watch: The touching film will not only tug at your heartstrings, but will serve as a timely reminder to give some love and TLC to your family pet as well!

In a cruel twist of fate, the siblings end up with an evil guardian named Count Olaf who relentlessly pursues the siblings' inheritance. Will the Baudelaires trio succeed in foiling Olaf's devious schemes and plots?
Why a must-watch: With a perfect blend of cynicism, humour and entertainment, many reviews and critics have claimed that the Netflix series has not only matched up to the novels' standards, but surpassed them. Only time will tell if the renewed season will turn out to be a hit or miss, but we sure have high hopes for this one!
Date released: 30 March 2018
What is it about? Compared to bigger genres like pop, the hip-hop culture is rather understated – which is why this film aims to highlight the impact hip-hop has made on our global and music scene. From up-and-coming artistes to moguls of the hip-hop world, Rapture showcases an impressive cast of big-name acts as Rapsody, Logic, G-Eazy, 2 Chainz and Just Blaze as they share their experiences thriving in the industry.
Why a must-watch: With the lack of mainstream platforms to explore the extensive hip-hop culture, this original documentary is here to fill the void. Made with the music lover in mind, you'll be able to live the lives of your favourite rappers and really connect with them on a much personal level.

Mediterranean Gull, Ferry Meadows
This confiding bird is just into its second week at Ferry Meadows. Often coming to food near the visitor centre it is a photographer's dream. The tail pattern is interesting. Mostly typical of juvenile plumage, a few feathers on the outer right side are all white, already in 2nd summer plumage. Asymmetry like this is unusual and might be due to it losing some feathers at some point.
First Common Tern of the year was also at the park but strangely no hirundines at all.

The year is off to a hot start with the dollar sinking and the price of crude oil going up. This week, Eric talks more about the shockingly weak dollar, the economic weakness in the U.S., and the continuing fraud of the COMEX.
But this week, he zeroes in on perhaps the strongest argument for precious metals: vulnerability.
We have to talk about these Intel chips that were flawed, OK? Because if youre a wealthy person, and a smart person, do you know that your bank account can be hacked? Do you know that the bank where you have your money can be hacked? Do you know that everything can be hacked? Where do you want to have your money? Do you want to put some in gold, so that at least it cant be hacked, cause its physicalyouve got it in your own possession? So, I think thats going to be very, very important to both gold and silver here, that everything is so vulnerable. Of course, nobody talks about it anymore. The market goes to a new high, it doesnt matter that all our computers are hackable, because someone else is controlling the market. But as smart guys thinking about this sort of stuff, do I really want to keep my wealth in something digital where I have no control over it?

October 30th-Jolly Pumpkin
I'll bet we scared you grown-ups! We learned all about pumpkins this week. Ms. Jenifer came and told us a very special story about a GIANT-boy-chasing-pumpkin! We also got to see Ms. Courtney carve a pumpkin into a spider! EVERYONE got to help her scoop out the guts! It was messy and really fun! Ms. Barb cooked a small pie pumpkin for us and we all got taste it! Some of us liked it and some of us did NOT! We also separated all of the seeds out of the pumpkin so that we could plant them in our garden next year. At the end of the day Ms. Barb had some spooky songs for us that made us laugh. It was one of the BEST Tuesdays!
Next week we will learn all about Oak trees at our "Mighty Oak" program. Acorns will definitely be involved and we plan on going outside even if it's just for a few minutes. So please dress warmly, it's been pretty cold and wet lately!
Have a safe Halloween everyone! See you Tuesday morning!

The pair EUR/USD is still likely to grow. Estimated pivot point is at a level of 1.1650.
Main scenario: long positions will be relevant from corrections above the level of 1.1650 with a target of 1.1994.
Alternative scenario:Breakout and consolidation below the level of 1.1650 will allow the pair to continue declining to the levels of 1.1518 – 1.1435.
Analysis: Supposedly, the wave A of (2) of senior level continues forming within the daily time frame. Apparently, the third wave of junior level iii of A of junior level has been formed and an upward correction is developing now in the form of the wave iv of A, with the wave (a) of iv forming inside. If this assumption is correct, the pair will go on growing to the level of 1.1994. The level 1.1650 is critical in this scenario.

Lessons from CEO Institute I/
Wow! I have so many great things I could say about the experience at Wharton. It certainly met all of my expectations. CUES should be commended for a job well done in putting together such a fine program for credit union executives. The CEO Institute I focused primarily on strategy. It challenged our thinking, and our ability to have peripheral vision in order to prepare for things that may impact our industry both now and in the future. The concept of scenario planning was an eye opener, and certainly a method that all credit unions should be using when developing strategic plans.
I enjoyed having the opportunity to re-connect with several of the NTCUE contestants. Tina Hall (Queen of Awesome!), Amy Stanton, and Jodi Chambers all attended the conference. We were eager to learn more, and I believe we all walked away with an increased passion for our industry, and a larger scope of what challenges are to be expected as future CEO's. We also had the opportunity to connect with many other great executives from around the country. Making those connections were an invaluable part of the trip.
Here are some key takeaways from this experience. I managed to develop a few cheesy quotes that you may gain something from.☺
1) Nothing in the future is certain, but planning for uncertainties can make it a lot easier.
This revelation is quite simple. No one knows what tomorrow holds, but if we plan for all of its possibilities, it can be a lot easier to approach. Living without a plan is actually more frustrating and chaotic in the long run.
2) The moment you compromise your values, you become someone you once said you didn't want to be.
This epiphany came to me in our session on ethics. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this session. We talked about the many different ways we view things. A portion of the class was consequentialists, who felt that the ends justified the means, while others were character and action driven. I was the latter of the two. The professor asked me a question during his lecture on whether or not the ends justified the means, and my response was no. He then gave a scenario that is too lengthy to type, but in short I stood on what I believed. Some thought it was the wrong perspective, while others agreed. At the end of the session, I felt good because I knew that I stayed consistent with my value system. Anything contrary to that would have compromised who I really am. So, we should all remain true to ourselves.
3) Think outside the box.
I loved the dialogue around this topic, because so many times we limit our thinking on the possibilities of what our industry could be. We frame our thinking capacity around what we've seen or experienced. Those experiences at times hinder the forward thinking process. If we could put that aside for a moment, and not be afraid to challenge our thought process, we could make our industry so much better.
4) Last but not least, I learned that great leaders are willing to take risk.
This was a topic I blogged on before, but something we forget about as an industry at times. Sometimes playing it safe can be much more detrimental to longevity than being willing to take a risk. Yes, we will fail, but failure is ok if we learn from it, and grow. Let's stop being so scared to fail, and become more willing to step out and stand up for what we believe in.
There is so much more that I could write about. It would probably be a short novel, but I'll leave you with one thought. The future of our industry is as bright as the work and thought we put forward today.

Anyone who has hiked with me knows I have hiking "hobbies". One of which is finding the best privies to take photos of. Yeah, I know…I need real hobbies 😀 Anyhow, here is a random photo of my dorkiness!
Ldyblade and I found this one on a hidden trail behind a ranger station in the backcountry in the Olympic Mountains on a trip one year. Not only was this their own private privy they also had a shower system rigged up with a pulley system.
Talk about living it up 😉

Time and distance shortcuts play a major role in quantitative aptitude test. It is bit difficult to score marks in competitive exams without knowing the shortcuts related to time and distance. We might have already learned this topic in our lower classes.Even though we have been already taught this topic in our lower classes, we need to learn some more short cuts which are being used to solve the problems in the above topic.
The only thing we have to do is, we need to apply the appropriate short cut and solve the problems in a limited time. This limited time will be one minute or less than one minute in most of the competitive exams.
1. Speed or Velocity = Distance / Time
2. Distance= Speed x Time
3. Time = Distance / Speed
4. a km/hr= (ax5/18) m/sec
5. b m/sec = (bx18/5) km/hr.
6. If the ratio of the speeds of A and B is a:b, then ratio of time taken by them to cover the same distance is b:a
7. If a certain distance is covered at p km/hr and an equal distance is covered at q km/hr, then the average speed of the whole journey is = (2pq)/(p+q) km/hr
Students who are preparing to improve their aptitude skills and those who are preparing for this type of competitive test must prepare this topic in order to have better score. Because, today it is bit difficult to score marks in competitive exams without knowing time and distance problems. Whether a person is going to write placement exam to get placed or a student is going to write a competitive exam in order to get admission in university, they must be knowing to solve time and distance problems. This is the reason for why people must study this topic.
As we mentioned in the above paragraph, a person who wants to get placed in a company and a students who wants to get admission in university for higher studies must write competitive exams like placement test and entrance exam. To meet the above requirement, it is very important to score more marks in the above mentioned competitive exams. To score more marks, they have to prepare this topic. Preparing this topic would definitely improve their marks in the above exams. Preparing this topic is not difficult task. We are just going to remember the stuff that we have already learned in our lower classes
Students will learn, how and when they have to apply shortcuts to solve the problems which are related to time and distance. Apart from the regular shortcuts, students can learn some additional tricks in this topic time and distance shortcuts. Already we are much clear with the four basic operations which we often use in math. They are addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Even though we are much clear with these four basic operations, we have to be knowing some more stuff to solve the problems which are being asked from the topic time and distance in competitive exams. The stuff which I have mentioned above is nothing but the tricks and shortcuts which need to solve the problems in a very short time.
Short cut is nothing but the easiest way to solve problems related to time and distance. In competitive exams, we will have very limited time to solve each problem. Then only we will be able to attend all the questions. If we do problems in competitive exams in perfect manner with all the steps, it will definitely take much time and we may not able to attend the other questions. So we need some other way in which the problems can be solved in a very short time. The way we need to solve the problem quickly is called as shortcut.
Here, we are going to have some time and distance problems such that how time and distance shortcuts can be used. You can check your answer online and see step by step solution.
1. A person covers a certain distance at a certain speed. If he increases his speed by 33 1/3%, he takes 15 minutes less to cover the same distance. Find the time taken by him initially to cover the distance at the original speed.

The energy problem in the world today has only begun to take effect. It is not just the cost to the consumer that we are worrying about; it is also the toll that these energy sources are taking on our planet. Who would have thought that the answer to this problem was right below our feet? Geothermal heat pumps use the Earth's surface to heat and cool your home. This idea has been around for thousands of years, but odds are you have heard little or nothing about it. That is probably because in the past it was more economical to use the traditional gas or electric methods to heat and cool your home. As these energy sources continue to increase in price, geothermal heat pumps will become a more practical option for homeowners in many parts of the world.
How do Geothermal Heat Pumps Work?
Geothermal heat pumps are able to harness the Earth's ability to absorb and store energy. It is able to do this because around 10 feet below the Earth's surface, the temperature remains constant between 50 and 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The entire system consists of:
- Indoor heat pump system
- In-ground loop (vertical or horizontal)
- Antifreeze and water mixture
- Flow center (connection between heat pump and loop)
- Thermostat (controls the system)
- Duct work (circulates the heat and air conditioning)
The ground loop is filled with the antifreeze and water mixture that is circulated from the heat pump to below the Earth surface. If you have a forced air system in your home already, a geothermal heat pump can use your existing duct work to circulate the warm and cool air throughout your home. When the thermostat is set to heat, the antifreeze absorbs the heat from inside the Earth and delivers it to the heat pump to heat the home. When the thermostat is set to cool, the heat pump removes the heat from the inside of the home and transports it into the Earth which cools the home.
There are two types or loops that you could have: closed or open. Open loops are normally used when the loop is installed under water because it uses water instead of antifreeze to transfer the heat. If an open system was used underground, there would have to be an area where the heated water could be dumped because it doesn't reuse the water from cycle to cycle. Most residential homes will have a closed loop system. A close loop system involves a long loop of piping that is installed in the ground around your home. Your ground loop system will either be laid vertically or horizontally.
Vertical Closed Loop System
A vertical closed loop system uses one long loop that is installed anywhere from 250 to 1,000 feet into the Earth's surface. The depth of the loop is determined by the climate. The more extreme the weather is, the deeper the loop will be. This type of ground loop is practical for those of us who have limited space on our properties. It may cost a little more than a horizontal loop because of the depth of the installation, but it is the more efficient option of the two.
Horizontal Closed Loop System
A horizontal loop system involves the installation of several loops in shallow trenches. During the installation, trenches are dug on the land and the pipes are installed in them. They are usually placed at a depth around 2 meters. Since the installation is less invasive, the cost for this type of loop is lower than the installation of the vertical loop. However, this type of loop requires a lot more land and is less efficient at heating and cooling the home.
Let's Talk Efficiency
Modern day gas or electric furnaces can be over 95% efficient with the energy that they consume. That means that of the gas or electricity that it takes to run the unit, 95% of it is actually being used to heat or cool the home. This sounds great right? Yes it does, but when compared to a geothermal heat pump, these units seem like gas guzzlers. A geothermal heat pump doesn't run on gas; it uses electricity. But the truly amazing thing about these heat pumps is that for every 1 btu that they use of electricity, they generate 3-5 btus. That means that a geothermal heat pump can be anywhere from 300-500% more efficient than an electric furnace or air conditioner.
Overtime, geothermal heat pumps pay for themselves in energy savings. Installing a geothermal heat pump will virtually eliminate any of the costs that you would normally have from heating and cooling your home. Also, these units last much longer than your typical gas or electric units. The heat pump alone is known to work for around 20 years, and the in ground loop is good for up to 50 years!
We cannot forget the most important benefit of all. Geothermal heat pumps help save our planet! Traditional heating and cooling units either produce harmful greenhouse gases or consume large amounts of electricity. Geothermal heat pumps do not pollute the environment in any way. Caring for the Earth should be our number one priority when it comes to choosing HVAC systems for our homes.

I went to check my e-mail this morning and had a slew from wordpress. At first I thought perhaps I was being spammed and then I logged in and realized I was Freshly Pressed. Thanks wordpress.com! You all rock.
Welcome to our blog at We Four (5) Kings. I will admit to having a few computer issues this week, (in need of a new battery and storage space) but have been working on it daily so we should be back up and running at full speed after this weekend.
I'm so excited to have you all here. I'm a little giddy actually. I think being freshly pressed raises the bar a bit. So I better get back to fixing this here computer so I can put out some more blogging goodness.
Hugs and happy Vernal Equinox!

JANE HADING (1859– ), French actress, whose real name was Jeanne Alfredine Trefouret, was born on the 25th of November 1859 at Marseilles, where her father was an actor at the Gymnase. She was trained at the local Conservatoire and was engaged in 1873 for the theatre at Algiers, and afterwards for the Khedivial theatre at Cairo, where she played, in turn, coquette, soubrette and ingenue parts. Expectations had been raised by her voice, and when she returned to Marseilles she sang in operetta, besides acting in Ruy Blas. Her Paris debut was in La Chaste Suzanne at the Palais Royal, and she was again heard in operetta at the Renaissance. In 1883 she had a great success at the Gymnase in Le Maitre de forges. In 1884 she married Victor Koning (1842–1894), the manager of that theatre, but divorced him in 1887. In 1888 she toured America with Coquelin, and on her return helped to give success to Lavedan's Prince d'Aurec, at the Vaudeville. Her reputation as one of the leading actresses of the day was now established not only in France but in America and England. Her later repertoire included Le Demi-monde, Capus's La Chdtelaine, Maurice Donnay's Retour de Jerusalem, La Princesse Georges by Dumas fits, and Emile Bergerat's Plus que rein.End of Article: JANE HADING (1859– )

Current Systemic Lupus Erythematosis Studies
- AstraZeneca TULIP (Treatment of Uncontrolled Lupus via the Interferon Pathway) study
The TULIP study evaluates the effectiveness and safety of anifrolumab versus placebo in patients with moderately to severely active, autoantibody-positive SLE, while receiving standard of care treatment. Anifrolumab is a monoclonal antibody directed against type I interferon receptor that is administered IV ever 4 weeks. The program will assess the effect of anifrolumab in reducing disease activity (as measured by the SRI), decreasing use of OCS, improving skin manifestations (as measured by CLASI) and reducing flares.
This is currently open to new patients.
Read more about the anifrolumab at:
American College of Rheumatology National Scientific Meeting Abstracts
- Resolve Phase 1 Trial - evaluating the effect of depleting RNA immune complexes in SLE
Results of a Phase 0 proof of concept study conducted at WMR have lead to the launch of a phase 1 study evaluating RNA immune complexes in SLE pathogenesis. RSLV-132 is designed to eliminate RNA complexes that lead to chronic activation of nucleic acid sensing toll like receptors (e.g TLR7 and TLR8) and subsequent activation of the interferon inflammatory cascade. The study will provide information about safety and impact on SLE biomarkers.
Enrollment is now completed.

2. Check if the webcam is working. For more information, click How do I check to make sure the webcam is working properly?
3. You may have insufficient resources (bandwidth, processor availability). Check your 5-bar Processor and Connection Ratings in the lower-right hand corner. Mouse over the rating displays for more detail. If needed, reduce video displays, video resolution, or size of live sharing area. Close other applications. Close Outlook.
4. Extreme packet loss may have occurred (e.g., an intermittent wireless connection or a poor IP route). You can try to establish a better connection by closing OmniJoin and re-entering your meeting. Do not forcibly close OmniJoin (i.e., with task manager), as then you will have to wait a few minutes to re-enter your conference room (the OmniJoin cloud is still awaiting status on your old connection).
See the following:
1. Video cameras cannot be shared like a disk drive. The most common problem is that the camera is still in use or "held open" by another application. Exit the other application, or "close" the camera and make it available for OmniJoin. You can also use the Windows® scanner and camera test utility (hit F1 key for Windows Help, or go straight to the Control Panel) to verify your camera is available for other applications.
2. Visit the camera manufacturer's website and download the latest Windows® drivers for your camera. If the camera is available, the majority of any remaining problems are usually related to out-of-date drivers.
The meeting Host can set video resolution for the entire conference room or each participant individually. OmniJoin will automatically adjust within the limits of each participant's video peripheral (not all cameras support high resolution), processor power and bandwidth availability. If the Camera, processor power, or bandwidth do not permit, you may not achieve your desired video quality settings.
Please click How do I change video resolution? for details.

Yes, you are at the right place. Even I was in same place when i started my blogging career in 2013. At that time I dint get any help in starting a blog. As I was not a web developer nor did I had any developer knowledge / experience, I took help from youtube and started building my blog on google blogspot platform. At that point of, I had got no help from anywhere, so I ended crashing my blog many a times due to lack of knowledge. As years went by and many people started uploading know-how and how to types video on youtube, which had helped me solving many of my problems.
So, in 2017, I decided to build a platform for people (or upcoming – bloggers) like me, so that you don't face any trouble which I faced in starting a blog. I will be sharing my journey of experience on this blog with recommending which platforms to choose, how to write, tools & plugins to use to get things fast. Also there might be some affiliate links which means I may earn a commission if you use them. I only recommend tools that I use and trust. Stay Tuned and don't lose the TRUST within YOU. Start your Blog Now! Don't Procrastinate.
